"for about a whole day". Reading from the right part way is "kaph" about = When he began to be "about" thirty.Joshua 10:12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon upon Ajalon.
10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down a whole day.
10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."
NASA states on their web site:
"According to the laws of physics, there are only two possible explanations for having the Sun stand still in the sky for a day: (1) the Earth would essentially have to stop spinning on its axis...for which there is no evidence. -or- (2) the Sun would have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still. There is no evidence of this occurring either."
It is easy to see moving the sun with earth's rotation is the solution.
Stopping earth's rotation involves earth's crust, atmosphere and oceans. Stopping earth's rotation is not realistic.
Moving the sun around the earth, earth is not touched.
Moving the sun, the five visible planets must be moved out of the way of the sun = here you will read of several times the planets were in conjunction, when they can only be in conjunction if they were moved.
Move the sun to the other side of earth, and earth flows into a reverse orbit, but the seasons progress the same as they do now.
Only earth must be sped up in its reverse orbit 48 hours a reverse orbit year or there would be 367 days in a reverse orbit year.
You will see here almost all the world's ancient chronology corrected by dates of sun miracles and by the bible.
The world's chronology is so wrong, it just hangs together.
The Sun standing still at noon for Joshua for a day may have been produced by God moving the Sun around the Earth with Earth's rotation. The history and the working model are given here. Perhaps God moved the sun around the earth, to the other side of earth, and earth flowed forward into a reverse orbit of the sun half an orbit earlier at the crossing of the river Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = Palm Sunday, March 29, 33 AD.
Then half an orbit later on Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC God moved the sun 360° = 24 hours, and two years later He moved the sun back 180° on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
That is, on king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC he moved the sun back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun leaving no evidence, no biological or geological trace, not even any net missing time. There is no other way.
Yes, there is Joshua's long day of 24 hours longer day. Because orbit is against rotation in earth's reverse orbit, earth must speed up its orbit 48 hours a year, or there would be 367 days a year instead of 365 days, and earth must speed up its reverse orbit about 24 hours (23:20 hours) in half a year = missing time = the missing day + the sun revolving around the earth for 24 hours = the long day of Joshua 10:12 and there is the 40 missing minutes.
One half orbit of sped up time of 23:20 hours and the other half orbit 24:40 hours = this 48 hours of a sped up reverse orbit because earth's orbit is elliptical. 24 hours long day subtracted from 23:20 hours sped up orbit = the missing 40 minutes.
Earth in the reverse orbit was sped up 48 hours + the total time for the sun to move 2 X 180° and 1 X 360° is 48 hours = no net missing time.
Such as 180° February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day = 360° August 10, 1241 BC and 360° February 4, 1240 BC, 360° August 10, 1240 BC and 180° February 5, 1239 BC = the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Two years of reverse orbit = the same 2 X 48 hours of long days = 2 X 180° and 3 X 360°.
God must have moved the sun 360° on Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, at the battle of Merom possibly February 4, 1240 BC, and again on August 10, 1240 BC.
2 X 180° that is 1 x 180° for the sun to move to the other side of earth February 4, 1241 BC and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun and two years later the sun move back 1 X 180° February 5, 1239 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then on Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, the sun must move a full 360° in 24 hours to stand still at noon time to total a 48 hours of long days each sped up 48 hours a reverse orbit, or we would have 367 days in a reverse orbit year instead of 365 days.
When the NASA scientists discovered the sun on the other side of earth, I discovered it shortly after beginning to read the Chinese Classics, and surely NASA discovered it, and earth in a reverse orbit of the sun, they would discover earth could flow out of the reverse orbit at the half orbit point.
And that meant there must be 24 hours of sped up half orbit = 24 hours of missing time, or else we would have 367 days a year. Days of the year can be counted in coral. Thus, there has to be 365 days in a reverse orbit year. Thus, the 24 hours of missing time = the missing day.
The missing day story of about 24 hours appears true because of both missing time and elapsed time and earth's elliptical orbit.
One day we probably will be able to date all the days in the past to the exact minute. If the earth stopped rotating there would be 24 hours of elapsed time missing. If only the sun revolved around the earth 360° there would again be 24 hours of elapsed time missing. Simply a watch ticking would show 24 hours of elapsed time missing.
Only by moving the sun to the other side of earth, and earth flowing into a reverse orbit, and earth's orbit sped up 48 hours a year, and the sun moving back 180° and earth flowing out of the reverse orbit, and the total hours of the sun revolving with earth's rotation equal this 48 hours, does there be no net missing time.
Then when we can measure time on earth like a watch ticking, we will find no net missing time.
Thus, all the more important to how sun miracles were hidden. And more important this is the only way the sun can stand still in the sky and yet be hidden even from advanced technology.
The most important part of this discovery is all these many sun miracles God used, from the beginning of time - from before Adam - from the year of the world, Annos Mundi, A.M. 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, to point to his Son, to point to the life of Jesus.
Numbers 2:23 "And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred."
= 30,000 + 5,400.
There are many many verses of the Bible that speak about God's plan to send Jesus to the earth. Then there be many sun miracles marking the coming of Jesus.
Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:"
Acts 15:18 "Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world."
From the Ancient Book of Jubilees the beginning 49 year jubile, from 5358 BC = 110 X 49 = 5390 years to April 3, 33 AD, is almost the same as the Armenian Sothis beginng year 5368 BC. 5368 BC is 108 X 50 years = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The Sumerians developed writing in 3500 BC. Noah's flood was in 3307 BC. The book of Jubilees must have begun being written with Adam in 4672 BC, and the Armenian Sothis calendar must have been kept from 5368 BC.
4672 BC and 2222 BC were both 49 year jubiles and 50 year jubiles. 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice. 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry.
Adam in year 700 may be 4672 BC or 4668 BC.
From 4672 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement = Leviticus 23:26, from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
The day of Atonement, October 7, 29 AD and Jesus' crucifixion and Passover, April 3, 33 AD, must have been predicted by God thousands of years earlier, perhaps even from the new Armenian sothis cycle 5368 BC = 50 year cycles to Jesus' sacrifice, and Adam at year 700 in 4672 BC = 50 year cycles to Jesus' ministry; 4672 BC = 96 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
Leviticus 23:32 "It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath."
Isaiah 58:6 "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"
Isaiah 61:1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
Luke 4:16 "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Both the Sabbath being on the tenth day of the seventh month and the year the 50th jubile year = to set at liberty = the year of release of the jubile.
From 4672 BC are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
In 2368 BC was Jacob at the well of the oath = 48 X 50 years = 2400 years, to Jesus' sacrifice.
From 2369 BC are 49 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice. 490 years = 10 X 49 years, after 2222 BC when the Chinese emperor Shun took over from emperor Yao = 1732 BC (2222 BC - 490 years = 1732 BC) when the sun stood still in the sky for 10 days in emperor Kin's 8th year from 1741 BC.
From emperor Kin's first year in 1741 BC = 500 years to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
490 years after 1732 BC, on the 49 year jubile, at the end of 1242 BC, Israel crossed the Jordan river into the promised land.
49 years further back from 1732 BC is 1791 BC = 500 years to the death of pharaoh Seti I in 1291 BC:
Exodus 2:23 "And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage."
1242 BC was on the 49 year jubile and 1241 BC was on the 50 year jubile.
On the 50 year jubile in 1241 BC, on August 10, 1241 BC, the sun stood still at noon for 12 or 24 hours.
In the Chinese Classics the sun stood still for ten days for emperor Kin in 1732 BC, means even though there is no Chinese record of the sun standing still for ten days for emperor Yao in 2315 BC, the oral legend of Yao may be true also. Also, in Yao's canon the four stars marking the four seasons can only be true if the sun was moved to the other side of earth in April 1, 2315 BC = 10 days before the spring equinox = the four stars 1,400 years in precession more recent = could not be seen in 2315 BC.
Or, Yao's long day be in 2316 BC.
Genesis 45:6 "For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest."
This year Jacob entered Egypt was in 2307 BC. There were five more years of famine. Then the first year of the seven year of plenty should be in 2316 BC the new moon Friday, March 29 = New Years in the Egyptian Sothis calendar = 2737 BC - 2307 BC = 430 years. 430 / 4 = 108 days. Back from the first appearing of Sirius before sunrise, 4:15 AM on July 16, is 108 days = March 30, 2316 BC.
Armenia is where Noah lived, Noah's flood being the Aral Sea in 3307 BC in year 600 from 3907 BC. Thus, this record in the Book of Jubilees the 27th 49 year jubilee, fifth week, fifth year = 1361 years, 1323 + 35 + 5, from Adam in year 700 in the Septuagint = 4670 BC = between the 49 year jubile 4672 BC and the 50 year jubile 4668 BC 700 years from 5368 BC. 4668 BC - 1361 years = 3307 BC = Noah year 600 from 3907 BC.
Fifth week, fifth year = (5 X 7) + 4 = 39 years = the 38.5 years of Jesus' life.
4668 BC + 32 years = 4700 years = 94 X 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
4672 BC + 32 years = 4704 years = 96 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
4672 BC + 28 years = 4700 years = 94 X 50 years to Jesus' ministry.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years because it has no February 29.
The Armenian calendar begins in 5368 BC; one day earlier = four years earlier = the year was 5372 BC.
The Septuagint:
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were seven hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
ἑπτακίς ἑκατόν ἔτος = seven hundred years.
The Masoretic text:
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
The Septuagint may have been translated from an older copy. Adam from 700 A.M., 5368 BC - 700 = 4668 BC about 4670 BC = the jubiles counted from 4670 BC.
Also, jubiles were counted from Adam in year 800, 4568 BC.
"And he went up from thence to the Well of the Oath in the first year of the first week in the forty-fourth jubilee [2108 AM]. And the Lord appeared to him that night, on the new moon of the first month, and said unto him: "I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and shall bless thee and shall surely multiply thy seed as the sand of the earth.."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.93.
"An old Babylonian literary text describes the conduct of judges during the suspension of debts on behalf of the sun god Shamash."
The Chronological Bible, p.148.
Thus there may have been sun miracles to mark the year of the jubile = the suspension of debts.
Adam from 4568 BC are 44 X 50 years = 2200 years, or 44 X 49 + 44 years = 2200 years, to Jacob at 70 years old in 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice = 48 X 50.
Thus, the new Armenian Sothis not 2010 AD, not 552 AD, but like the must be put back 76 years, a sothis cycle of 1460 years: 474 AD, 987 BC, 2447 BC, 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth, 1461 years back from 3907 BC = 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 5368 + 32 = 5400 years, because there is no year zero.
The end of the Egyptian sothis cycle, Exodus 12:40, the end from Jacob entering Egypt sothis year 430 from 2737 BC = April 1, 2307 BC = to the end of the sothis year 1456 in 1281 BC, was at the death of Pharaoh Merneptah, the Exodus, on the first Passover, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC 76 years further back than 1205 BC.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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."
See The New Sothis Cycle arrangement.
"there are 49 (69) jubiles from the days of Adam until this day, and one week and two years and there are forty years to come...crossing the Jordan to the west. And the jubilees will pass by"
Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.163.
69 X 49 = 3381 years. One week and two years = 9 years. 3381 + 9 + 1281 BC = 4671 BC = Adam in year 700 from 5368 BC = Adam in 4672 BC to 4668 BC.
"..crossing the Jordan to the west. And the jubilees will pass by" Joshua crossed the Jordan in the 70th jubile, 1242 BC.
The sothis calendar backs up 365 days in 1460 years = a 365.25 day year. Included in 4 X 365 is also the current complete cycle = 1461 years = 3907 BC 1461 years from 5368 BC.
The monk Dionysius, who established the year 1 AD in 525 AD, did so counting Jesus gave his life on April 3, 33 AD. Luke 3:23 states Jesus began to be about thirty. Then he began his ministry on Yom Kippur on September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD in Luke 4:18.
So, if Jesus was 30 to begin his three year ministry and died April 3, 33 AD, the year of Jesus' birth must be 1 AD, Annos Deos, Year of our Lord.
Only, Herod died April 1, 4 BC, and Herod killed all the boys of Bethlehem "from two years and younger according to the time which he had diligently equired of the wisemen" = Jesus born September of 7 BC, began his ministry at 35 years old, not 30 years old, and gave his life at 38 years old not 33 years old. The mistake all because Luke wrote Jesus was about thirty.
Thus, Jesus was 38.5 years old when he gave his life on the cross.
Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
Genesis 41:53 "And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
41:54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread."
Genesis 45:11 "And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty."
Joseph was 38 when Jacob and his family entered Egypt. Moses was 40 when he sought to deliver the children of Israel. David was 38 when he became King of Israel. Hezekiah was 39 years old when he was told he was to die on the Passover Sunday, March 31, 703 BC = 15 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus giving his life on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD, in his 14th year of reign from the age of 25 = 39 years, but Hezekiah wept and prayed, and was given a sign the shadow of the sun to retreat ten steps on the upper sundial of his father Ahaz that he would live 15 more years.
Moses was a type of Jesus.
Acts 7:23 "And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
Moses born the seventh month, the seventh day, the seventh hour, according to the Samaritan Pentateuch, in 1361 BC would be 40 in 1321 BC = 1350 years = 27 X 50 years to October 7, 29 AD = the beginning of Jesus' ministry when Jesus began to be thirty-five years old.
October 1, 1361 BC was the seventh lunar day and the seventh day of the week, and was the fall equinox = 1361 / 128 = 10; 10 days back from October 1 is September 22 the fall equinox:
The captivity was from the seventh day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC.
2 Samuel 5:4 "David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
2:11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months."
"In 353 Pope Liberius, chose December 25 as the date of Christ's birth to counter a pagan festival celebrating the winter solstice."
Jesus spoke on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, the tenth day of the seventh month, Saturday, October 7, 29 AD, on New Years day:
Luke 4:16 "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,"
The next week would be Saturday, October 14, the 17th day of the seventh month.
Jesus' birth day the 17th day of the 7th month would be September 19, 29 AD or October 14, 29 AD when he would again speak in a synagogue on the next sabbath.
Luke 4:31 "And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days."
Jesus' sacrifice on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD:
The lunar eclipse on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD:
In comparison the partial lunar eclipse at Kelowna BC Canada, Tuesday, 7:30 PM September 18, 2024 AD = the partial lunar eclipse seen Friday, April 3, 33 AD also at 7:30 PM in Israel:
Thus, Jesus' three and a half year ministry to April 3, 33 AD, and the assumption Jesus lived to thirty three and a half years.
Thus far all appears correct.
But Herod died about April 1, 4 BC, and Herod killed all the boys born in Bethlehem two years old and under. All told Jesus must have been born in September of 7 BC = Jesus lived 38.5 years, not 33.5 years. Jesus must have began his ministry at 35 years of age, not 30 years of age.
Jesus lived 38.5558 years from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD = 38 years and 204 days = 14,083 days.
The monk Dionysius, who established the year 1 AD in 525 AD, made the mistake of counting Jesus' life from Luke's Gospel, Luke 3:23. Jesus began to be about thirty years, that is the 30th decade = 35 years.
Dionysius knew Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD. He knew Jesus had a three year ministry. So, he assumed Jesus was 30 in 30 AD and made the Year of the Lord, Annos Deos, count from 1 AD.
Jesus began his ministry seven days before his birthday. His birthday the 17th day of the 7th month. Yom Kippur the 10th day of the 7th month. Jesus was 35, exacltly midway through the 30th decade, on New Years, Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement = the fifty year jubile, continuing from Adam in year 700 in 4672 BC.
The 50 year jubile Joshua's long day, 1241 BC less the 70 years of captivity the seventh day the seventh month 591 BC, from 521 BC.
All these sun miracles point to Jesus' life of thirty eight and a half years from the beginning of time.
Thus all these sun miracles on dates that God used to point to Jesus, to the age of Jesus. Sun miracles on years ending with X68 BC = even 100's or X18 BC = in 50 year jubiles, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; years ending X45 = 38 years to X07 BC; X07 BC = even 100's to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC; X31 BC = 38 years from X68 BC.
Such as Chinese emperors beginning their reign in the spring, on years ending in X68: 2168 BC, 965 BC, 869 BC, 769 BC, 570 BC, 467 BC, 367 BC = even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Likewise, years ending X18 are 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrfice. Such as the death of emperor Hwan in 718 BC = the death of King Ahaz both in Adar/February:
Then new moon in Sunday February 1, 718 BC. The next new moon you can see below was March 2, 718 BC, but on day 24 of cycle 60.
The 51st year of King P'ing from 769 BC was 719 BC, not 718 BC.
Darkness at noon in Israel on the Passover, Thursday, March 27, 719 BC on day 42 of cycle 60, like as there was darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD, may be mistaken for a solar eclipse.
The emperor King P'ing died 5 days later, on the day kang-seuh, day 47 of cycle 60, April 1, 719 BC:
The sun may return one year later, day 47 of cycle 60, March 25 / March 26, 718 BC.
Exodus 12:18 "In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even."
March 26, 718 BC is the 21st day of the month, the last day of unleavened bread of the Passover.
Likewise in 518 BC was the death of Cyrus the Great.
Likewise, years ending X7 are 100 year cycles to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC - such as the new Armenian Sothis 3907 BC, Noah's flood 3307 BC, the birth of Abraham 2607 BC, the birth of Isaac 2507 BC, the entering of Jacob into Egypt 2307 BC, the death of King K'ang in 1107 BC, the death of King Muh in 906 BC = the reign of King Joash of Judah.
Years ending in X72 BC and X22 BC in 50 year jubiles, point to Jesus beginning his ministry on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
There may have been a sun miracle to begin Jesus' and John the Baptist's ministry.
In 29 AD "Empeor Guangwu of Han, 5th year of the Jianwu reign period. A guest star trespassed against YUZUO extremely closely."
East Asian Archaeology, p.130.
"On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213.
"the five planets moved in retrograde" is often assumed a natural occurance. However, a sun miracle is being recorded here. The planets are moved out of the way of the sun, and earth has flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. Jupiter would appear a month earlier each year, rather than a month later each earth reverse orbit.
Jupiter and Saturn are far enought away from earth and the sun they may continue in their orbits. Only, Jupiter would appear one month earlier each reverse orbit year instead of one month later.
The constellation T'ai-wei and the constellation T'ien-t'ing occupy the north polar region, as does the YUZUO region. The sun and moon cannot occupy the northern region.
Yuzuo is the imperial throne near the Big Dipper. A sun miracle would mean the Big Dipper if pointing down at midnight in summer would point up at midnight the following summer night. A sun miracle then would be seen as a threat to the imperial throne, an occasion for a revolution. Guangwu became emperor in 25 AD and from 27 AD to 36 AD - the period looked at here - he waged war with various warlords. Sun miracles often triggered revolution in China. So he would be sensitive to a sign from heaven that could cause rebellion against him that could overthrow his kingdom. Such as this one very nearly did.
The Chinese believed the north pole was the throne to Shun Di, the invisible Lord of the Universe. And they used their north star to help them locate Shun Di's throne.
Likewise, the Egyptians depicted Seth as the Big Dipper, Ursa Major, that in the Old Kingdom, 2650 BC-2150 BC, did not dip below the horizon.
Seth was the Bull of Heaven, who killed Osiris. Osiris rose again to life, but Seth was not allowed into the underworld where he wanted to kill Osiris again.
The Denderah zodiac from 100 BC is the earliest Egyptian depiction of the precession of the equinoxes and the change of the pole position/pole star.
The leg of the Bull being chained equals the handle of the Big Dipper.
From Seti I of the celestial ceiling the severed Leg of the Bull is being measured:
From Archaeology Magazine, March/April 2025, the leg of the Bull is being chained:
Isaiah 24:1 "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."
Here you can see the Big Dipper, empty itself, the handle to the right pointing to Arcturus. Picture taken on Friday, 11 PM, May 2, 2025, at the Big White Observatory. okanaganobservatory.ca. Next to Arcturus on the far right, is Izar on the bottom right.
The wisemen would see this empty Big Dipper when they followed Arcturus to find the babe Jesus in September of 5 BC. Arcturus would rise in the east at sunset and pass directly over Bethlehem at midnight.
Here you can see the Big Dipper pointing down. Arcturus would be beneath the horizon:
Here you can see the handle of the Big Dipper pointing down = the leg of the Bull of Heaven, and Arcturus below the horizon:
Here you can see the Big Dipper pointing up. Arcturus would be directly above Bethlehem when Jesus was born about September 12, 7 BC = the sun on the other side of the earth. Arcturus would be directly above the home Jesus was in at midnight when the wisemen came in September of 5 BC:
Here you can see the Big Dipper pointing west = Autumn:
Here you see the names of the stars in the Big Dipper, Izar, Thuban, and Arcturus too:
World's oldest star chart may be 2,300 years old and from China. Here you can see the Big Dipper:
From this 2650 BC earth's axis would shift in precession making some of the stars out from the handle of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, disappear below the horizon.
You can see the third star of the handle of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, will be the pole star 2000 years from now. Alkaid was always above the horizon.
Straight out from Alkaid is Izar. In 4000 BC Izar was always above the horizon on the northern Egyptian coast. In 3000 BC Izar dropped below the horizon. Thus, Izar may be the star that dropped beneath the horizon in 2650 BC.
Arcturus is just a little ways from Izar, and always dropped below the horizon.
Here you can see Thuban, the pole star in 1000 BC = -3000.
The Chinese would notice when God moved the sun to the other side of the earth that the handle of the Big Dipper would point up instead of down, or down instead of up.
Oracle Bones of the Big Dipper
When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, before or after the equinox, He must move the sun up or down to keep earth in the same season = precession any where on this circle.
Most likely, earth's axis was not changed, and only the sun was moved. Thus, the three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper did not drop below the horizon and earth's axis remained unchanged.
Thus, the thought this precession was the reason to chain the leg of the Bull of Heaven may be incorrect.
When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth the handle of the Big Dipper would suddenly point up or down = the real reason to chain the leg of the Bull of Heaven.
Earth continued to rotate. The handle of the Big Dipper that pointed straight up at midnight, 12 AM in March, 12 hours later at 12 PM, the handle of the Big Dipper pointed straight down though invisible, the sun move 180° with earth's rotation to stand still at noon for 12 hours, the handle of the Big Dipper pointed straight up though invisible, then the sun continue to set in six hours. In six more hours at midnight at 12 AM, the handle of the Big Dipper would point straight down! at midnight.
Thus, the Egyptians would see the handle of the Big Dipper, the leg of the Bull of Heaven, point straight down the next night at midnight, and be so alarmed they tried to chain the leg of the Bull.
The foreleg of the Bull was cut off, and thrown up into Heaven, that may equal the sun moved to the other side of earth and the leg of the Bull, the handle of the Big Dipper, suddenly pointing staight up at midnight in September or straight down at midnight in March.
When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth in September the handle of the Big Dipper would point straight up. And when God moved the sun to the other side of earth in March, the handle of the Big Dipper would point straight down = the opposite of normal.
When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, earth must flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Then, the handle of the Big Dipper must also move east instead of west through the year, in this reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus, the need of chaining the leg of the Bull from running amok.
Here you see Horus slay Seth the Bull of Heaven, in the Senenmut Celestial Ceiling from 1500 BC, from Wikipedia. You can see the three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper. The third star should be Alkaid, next is Arcturus, the star in red at the end of the handle of the Big Dipper.
The foreleg of the Bull of Heaven, Wikipedia:
The foreleg as the Big Dipper and the sky goddess Nut from the lid of the coffin of Tefabi (Dynasty X or XI) from Asyut, Middle Egypt, Neugebauer and Parker, 1964:
1 Samuel 2:8 "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillarsH4690 of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them."
H4690 מָצֻק מָצוּק mâtsûq mâtsûq maw-tsook', maw-tsook' From H6693; something narrow, that is, a column or hill top: - pillar, situate. Total KJV occurrences: 2
1 Samuel 2:9 "He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail."
"darkness" when the stars of the Big Dipper appear.
The handle of the Big Dipper, may be this pillar = this column, that points straight down from the pole star to the horizon in the north. And points straight up or straight down when God moved the sun to the other side of the earth.
Here you see the handle of the Big Dipper point west, at sunset this was on the fall equinox. When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth the Big Dipper would point east at sunset, and north at 12 AM, on the fall equinox.
Picture taken at 10 PM, August 22, 2025 at the okanaganobservatory.ca, Kelowna, BC, Canada:
The earth upside down at the ninth plague of darkness in Exodus.
From the Chinese Classics:
"The annexed figure will illustrate the use of Ursa Major as a kind of natural clock, whose hand makes one revolution in a year. The earth's surface (square of course) is converted into a dial, and the horizon is divided into 12 parts, making due north the center of the first division. In theory the time of observation is 6 PM precisely. But it was necessary to wait till the stars were visible. If the tail pointed due east, it indicated the vernal equinox; but if it pointed due west, as represented in the figure, it was the autumnal equinox.
In this instance the hand of the clock points a little in advance of the sun in the ecliptic, and to the bright stars in Scoprio, for the tail of the Bear always points to Scorpio. So then we have still Scorpio as the sign of mid-autumn.
This symmetric position of the Great Bear, or "Northern Bushel", with reference to the seasons, is essential to the Chinese creed; and hence to this day, maugre the precession of the equinox, it retains position in the estimation of almost all Chinese, learned and ignorant. The seasons still arrange themselves round the dial in exactly the same way, Winter going to the north, Spring to the east, Summer to the south, and Autumn to the west.
3. The most common and earliest divisions of the ecliptic is that of the 28 mansions. These are of very unequal extent, and consequently very inconvenient for any purpose but that of astrology. The apportioning of 7 of these mansions to each of the cordinal points is also nothing more than an astrological devise; but the Chinese student comes in contact with it so frequently, that some explanation of its origin seems very desirable. We must remember that the hour of midnight at the winter solstice is with the Chinese a great epoch; a sort of repetion of the T'ae-keih or commencement of all things.
Let the circle in the annexed figure represent the ecliptic at midnight in mid-winter, in relation to the Chinese earth, represented by a square space in the center. At the seanson and hour in question, in the time of Yaou, Leo would be in the meridian and south of the zenith in the middle of China; Taurus would be in the west, and Scorpio in the east; and it is correctly inferred that Aquarius, though invisible, would be north of the nadir.
Accordingly the seven winter mansions of which Aquarius is the center are assigned to the north, and the seven southern mansions of which Leo is the center are assigned to the south. Thus far the arrangement agrees according to the motion of the Great Bear. But the vernal mansions go to the west, and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous directions of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that spring belongs to the east, &etc. This discrepency does not seem however to trouble their minds at all, and we may safely leave it unexplained."
The Chinese Classics, p.94.
Spring in the east can only be if God moved the sun to the other side of the earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus, on Yao's long day God must have moved the sun to the other side of the earth with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky for 12 hours or multiples of 12 hours.
The sun is in Scorpius in autumn. For the sun to be in Scorpius in spring, the sun must be moved to the other side of earth.
Likewise, on king Wan's dream the planets are in Scorpius/Fang in spring = the sun in Virgo in spring!
Virgo is 90° before Scorpius/Fang, the six day moon and planets in Scorpius/Fang above at sunset.
"In ancient times, Gong Gong, the water God, fought with Zhu Rong, the fire God. In his rage he knocked his head against Buzhou Mountain, breaking this pillar of the sky and causing one corner of the earth to collapse. The northwestern part of the sky collapsed and the southeastern part of the land sank." Huai Nan Zi in html
"breaking this pillar of the sky" the pillar may be the handle of the Big Dipper.
The Chinese began their 60 year and 60 day calendar on the new moon, when sun and moon phoenixes appeared = a sun miracle = the sun and moon moved 180° = 12 hour longer day = the sun moved to the other side of the earth and earth flowing into or out of a reverse orbit, January 26, 2636 BC.
From the Egyptian sothis cycle in 2737 BC are 100 years to this sun miralce in 2636 BC.
Both the Egyptians and the Armenians had a 1460 year sothis calendar, three 120 days seasons, 360 days + 5 days = 4 X 365 days, from 4197 BC and 5368 BC respectively.
Sothis = Sirius, the calendar new year began about July 16 at 4:15 AM when Sirius would first appear before the sun rose.
The sothis calendar backed up one day every four years - there was no leap year - no February 29.
Thus, there was 1460 years = 4 X 365 days, to back up to the beginning July 16 again.
The Egyptian sothis cycle is 290 years further back than the Armenian sothis cycle.
290 year back from the Armenian sothis cycle in 3907 BC is the Egyptian sothis cycle in 4197 BC.
From 4197 BC is 1460 years to 2737 BC is 1456 years to the Exodus, the first Passover, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC pointing to Jesus' sacrifice, the Passover, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The Missing Day Story:
The same missing time of 23:20 hours and the same elapsed time as 24 hours and the same missing 40 minutes, missing time and elapsed time.
Earth's orbit sped up 48 hours in the reverse orbit or there would be 367 days a year = rotation against orbit. Multiply the 48 hours over earth's elliptical orbit, from the spring equinox to the fall equinox are 186.6 days. From the fall equinox to the spring equinox are 178.64 days. 186.6 + 178.64 days = 365.24 days a year = 23:30 hours sped up half orbit and 24:30 hours sped up half orbit and 24 hour long day = move the sun 360° with earth's rotation = the difference of a missing 30 minutes.
186 days 14 hours 24 minutes, and 178 days 15 hours 21 minutes = 365 days 5 hours 46 minutes.
A table depicting the dates of the equinoxes:
| Day | Month | Year | Time |
| 22 | September | 2024 | 12:44 UTC |
| 20 | March | 2025 | 9:02 UTC |
| 22 | September | 2025 | 19:19 UTC |
From the fall equinox, September 22, 2024 to the spring equinox, March 20, 2025 is 178 days 20 hours and 18 minutes.
From the spring equinox, March 20, 2025 to the fall equinox, September 22, 2025 is 186 days 9 hours and 17 minutes.
From the fall equinox, September 22, 2024 to the fall equinox September 22, 2025 is 365 days and 5 hours and 36 minutes.
From Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC - February 29, 1241 BC is leap year, to Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC are 188.5 days, two days more than 186.6 days = 23:20 hours sped up summer half orbit, and a sped up 24:40 hours winter half orbit, a difference of 40 minutes. 48 hours sped up and 48 hours in long days = 180° + 360° + 180° = no net missing time.
Days that are not on the equinox or the solstice are called cross days.
The lunar calendar backs up 11 days a year = in three years has backed up 33 days = one 29.5 day month. Then a second month of Adar was added. Thus, normaly the month of the Passover = spring would be in March, but letting the calendar back up, the first month began January 25, 1241 BC.
If God were to stop the earth from rotating, He would have to start it rotating again. The ocean would drop and dry land would ring the equator.
Earth's circumference is 40075.017 km equatorial (24901.461 mi) and 40007.86 km meridional (24859.73 mi). Simply the ocean would drop about 70 kilometers or 42 miles at the equator, and the poles would be under 70 kilometers or 42 miles of water, the oceans would sweep over the coasts, if the earth stopped rotating.
Water is unstable. Oceans would over flow if earth's rotation was stopped. Earth's magnetic field would vanish. There would be winds of up to 1000 miles per hour.
Suddenly stopping earth from rotating would destroy the planet.
About four billion years ago: "The impact gave the Earth extra mass, and a lot of extra angular momentum: so much that it spun once every five hours. The earth's slightly oblate shape, squashed at the poles, exerted tidal forces that aligned the Moon's orbit with Earth's equator, and stablished it there."
Calculating the Cosmos. p.45
"Scientists Just Discovered a 1.75 Billion-Year-Old Secret About The Origin of Life."
1.4 billion years ago a day was 18 hours instead of our 24 hours long.
400 million years ago a year was 400 days = shorter days = faster spinning earth.
"A Day On Earth Stalled At 19 Hours For A Billion Years, Say Scientists" "There appears to have been a stalling, which may be responsible for a flourishing of plant life—and a surge in oxygen levels."
"Scientists reconstruct 540 million years of sea level change in detail"
Earth's sped up orbit 48 hours a reverse orbit year = (48 X 60) / 365 = 8 minutes. A day in a reverse orbit would be 8 minutes shorter = 23:52 hours - not much difference than this 23:30 hours 70 million years ago.
Note: 23.5 hours = 23:30 hours = half an hour difference. A day 8 minutes shorter is a day 23:52 hours.
Note also, the length of a year has stayed the same for billions of years. Thus, speeding up earth's orbit by 48 hours is unheard of.
Earth's distance from the sun in this sped up reverse orbit must remain exactly the same.
Earth moves away from the sun 1.5 centimetres a year = 15,000 kilometres in one billion years.
Earth is both slowing its rotation and moving away from the sun.
The earth slows one second very 18 months and one second every day in 50,000 years.
"Something in Earth's Core May Be Altering The Length of Days" "all the way back to 720 BC"
"The research suggests that a young Earth may have snatched the moon during a close encounter with a binary system." "the moon should orbit directly above the planet’s equator. Instead, the moon’s orbit is not aligned with Earth’s equator but is more in line with the sun."
"What Would Happen If The Earth Stopped Spinning?"
"In What Order did the Planets in our Solar System Form?" The gravity of Jupiter helped Earth to maintain an orbit in the Goldilocks zone where life could form. When God moved the sun He often moved Jupiter too = the conjuction of the planets in Scorpius/Fang in king Wan's dream. Yet God hid his power from science.
The centrifugal tide opposite the gravity tide to the moon may not continue in motion - its not a centrifugal tide - water is not moving, if the sun and moon stood still in the sky.
Simply, the tide would stand still while the sun and moon stood still.
The tidal height is less from the "centrifugal" side of the earth opposite the moon's gravity tide, but not much less. High tide from the moon's gravity is a measure 9 and the "centrifugal" tide on the other side of earth is a measure 8 = almost indistinguishable. See Tidal Height over 50 hours, Bridgeport, CT. - Wikipedia.
"The corresponding tidal bulge on Earth's opposite side is primarily the result of the far side water's remaining in position (being left behind) because its inertia exceeds the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. In effect, from this inertial point of view, as the nearside water and the Earth are drawn toward the Moon and Sun, the farside water is left behind because of the slightly weaker gravitational pull. This arrangement produces the two opposing tidal bulges on opposite sides of Earth."
Geosystems, by Robert W. Christopherson, p.467.
Thus, ocean tides may continue as normal. There is a tide nearest the moon, and a "centrifugal" tide furthest the moon. The sun and moon moved 180° the "centrifugal" tide would become the gravity tide without a trace.
The moon pulls on the earth as the earth rotates. The ocean on the side facing the moon has the greatest tide. The ocean on the other side of the moon has a lesser tide about 90% of the moon's tide. Simply, the ocean facing away from the moon is water left over from the moon's pull. The water is drained from the sides of the earth to leave water behind the earth to pool to form a tide that is 90% of the moon's tide.
Also, moving the moon nearer or further or up or down after moving the moon 180° around the earth may help keep the resulting tide the same as the tide would have been.
The moon's gravity tide is larger than the "centrifugal" tide on the far side. There are notable tides in history such as the Bay of Fundy high tide about 3400 years BP; Before Present, before 1950 = 1450 BC.
The eruption of Santorini in 1658 BC was followed by more eruptions to a great eruption in this 1450 BC.
The ocean level was 3 meters lower than present day 5000 years ago and continued a general trend up till this present time. So, remnants of the affects of sun miracles on earth's tide may be burried and hard to get.
On December 27, 2023 AD, there was an ocean storm that hit Vancouver Island with waves up to several meters high. These waves could wash away any evidence of unusual tides.
Proverbs 8:27 "When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depths."
The bristlecone pine survived the global catastrophe at 3500 BP (1550 BC). = the eruptions of the volcano Santorini.
"Sea level may have been higher than it is now just 6000 years ago."
Sea level was 400 feet lower 20,000 years ago.
Thus, the precision to detect subtle differences in tides seems to be lacking.
BP or Before Present is years before nuclear invention in 1950 and applies to radio carbon dating, which is very approximate.
"How a nearby supernova left its mark on Earth life"
Then when God moved the sun back 180° and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, the ocean tide would match the moon's gravity just as before.
"if the sun moon system were not moving" = if the sun and moon were moved with earth's rotation, the tide on either side of earth would stand still = no centrifugal force on the side, on the bulge, opposite the moon.
Thus, this opposite tide is not centrifugal forces. The sun and moon standing still in the sky the tide on the near side and far side of the moon would stand still. There is no momentum of centrifugal force.
Moving the sun and moon to set in the east and rise in the west would affect tides. There may be less of an affect if the sun and moon were moved the 180° within 30 or 40 minutes - less time for gravity to build a tide. And perhaps match the "centrifugal tide" 180° away.
Earth moves 1.5 centimeters, .6 inches, away from the sun each year.
Thus, God moving the sun around the earth with great care.
There was a massive sun storm 2610 years ago, from 2019 AD = 591 BC, that was ten times stronger than any event in the last 70 years. Ice samples reveal three massive sun storms in the last 3000 years, March 11, 2019.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire."
God moving the sun around the earth at near the speed of light = time stops on the sun = the darkness at noon on Jerusalem, Saturday, September 7, 591 BC, the solar eclipse record in China for day 40 of cycle 60 - that was not a solar eclipse, may mean extra stress on the sun may have caused a massive solar storm.
There can be no solar eclipse on the seventh day of the lunar month.
That is, on the spring or fall equinox magnetic storms hit earth strait on, instead of glancing away. There seem to be many sun miracles on the spring or fall equionx, when God may move the sun to the other side of the earth without moving the sun up or down to keep earth in the same season. The first month the Passover month in spring and six months later in fall = the seventh month = the new year, and the day of Atonement = Yom Kippur, and the feast of tabernacles.
One would picture a "centrifugal tide" on the opposite side on earth of the moon. That is, the sun and moon suddenly moving 180° would match the "centrifugal tide". The "centrifugal tide" should continue to move across the globe. The sun and moon moving 360° in 24 hours would match the gravitational tide again. The sun and moon moving 180° in 12 hours with earth's rotation would match the "centrifugal tide".
However, there is no centrifugal tide = the ocean is not moving with the tide. If the sun and moon stopped in the sky the tide opposite should also stop. Simply the gravity pull of the sun and moon should remain unchanged.
God that could move the sun could also make the tide appear normal.
If earth's rotation per day was slowed by just one minute, the oceans at the equator would be 800 feet lower. Rather than to hold earth together and still for 24 hours, to move the sun around the earth is much more practical. In an old Bible encyclopedia is stated that God must have moved the sun to make the sun stand still in the sky rather than stop earth from rotating. In the NASB Study Bible it states that "The earth actually stopped rotating or, more likely, the sun moved in the same way to keep perfect pace with the battle field. The moon also ceased its orbiting."
A footnote states the sun stood still for a day, either 12 hours or 24 hours.
Thus, God may have moved the sun to stand in the middle of the sky for either for 12 hours or 24 hours. Either earth flowed out of or into a reverse orbit, or earth continued in a reverse orbit, or out of and back into a reverse orbit.
The sun must move with earth's rotation 12 hours and earth flow into or out of a reverse orbit of the sun. Or the sun must move with earth's rotation 24 hours and earh continue in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Earth rotates 1000 miles per hour, 1600 kilometers per hour, at the equator. If the earth stopped rotating people would fall over and could not fight a battle. A continuous watch would show days of elapsed time unaccounted for.
If earth were to stop rotating: earth's atmosphere would continue at 1000 miles per hour at the equator, worse than any hurricane. If earth stopped rotating the winds at the equator should also afterwards stop and the coriolis effect would stop as well. The equator spins so that winds spin in a circle, clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise south of the equator.
If the earth stopped rotating the coriolis wind would stop as well.
Further, the coriolis winds are part of the trade winds:
"They are part of a global circulation pattern caused by the warming of the atmosphere at the equator, which causes warm, moist air to rise. This air then moves toward the tropics, cools and dries, and sinks, eventually returning to the equator to complete the cycle."
Yes, there is no evidence earth stopped rotating because God must have moved the sun to make the sun stand still in the sky. There is no evidence the sun burned out when the sun was darkened in the Bible because God again must have moved the sun, this time just under the speed of light 670,616,629 miles per hour.
Luke 12:54 "And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is."
1 Kings 18:42b "And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
18:43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
18:44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
18:45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel."
Luke 4:25 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;"
From the first year of Ahab in 948 BC three and a half years to 945 BC. The 38 years of Jesus backwards to 907 BC, 900 years to Jesus' birth. This three and a half years = Jesus' ministry.
948 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, 20 X 49 = 980 years from 948 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
Joash became King of Judah in 907 BC at seven years of age. This is like Jesus born about September 12, 7 BC and Jesus would be seven years old in 1 AD. Thus, our counting the year of the Lord, Annos Domini from 1 AD when Jesus was already seven years old.
Seven years after Noah's flood in 3307 BC was the 49 year jubile in 3300 BC. This, again is like Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC and not in 1 AD.
Earth's rotation at 1000 miles per hour at the equator creates a wind blowing east to west. Then, the wind circles back at the northern latitudes and brings the clouds "out of the west".
If earth was to stop rotating, earth's inner core would continue to spin, tearing earth apart.
Scientists Detect Surprise Structures Wrapped Around Earth's Core
Here you see a picture of Jupiter. Note that the planet is wider at the middle, the equator. Jupiter rotates once every ten hours at 28,000 miles per hour, 43,000 kilometers per hour. Earth rotates at 1,000 miles per hour, 1,600 kilometers per hour, one rotation every 24 hours.
Saturn too is wider at the middle, 10% wider, rotating 75,000 miles = 121,000 kilometres, every ten hours = seven times faster than earth rotates.
A person standing on the north pole, on earth's northern axis, that weighs 150 pounds, would weigh 149 pounds at the equator, because of earth's spin of 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
A person standing in Hudson Bay also would weigh 149 pounds instead of 150 pounds because the ground was pushed down in the ice age and has not bounced back.
Also, Hudson Bay is near the arctic where a person may weigh more. A person that weighs 150 pounds at the north pole, just a few hundred miles south at Hudson Bay would weigh 149 poounds, the low gravity at Hudson Bay even more pronounced.
The furthest point from the equator is the summit of Cayambe in Ecuador = the point of the least weight on earth.
Stopping time does nothing. If time is stopped on earth, then no time passes, no battle is fought. Reversing time is total nonsense.
2 Kings 20:1 "In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live."
God must have moved the sun backwards, not time went backwards. And the sun must go ten steps backwards = ten hours on a sundial, not 10° of a 360° circle. The sun must have been moved at least 180°.
Ten steps may be ten hours or 10 X 10° = 100°.
100° = 6 hours, the sun retreating from the noon position to the dawn position in 6 hours = 180°.
The ten steps cannot be 10° or 40 minutes. Ten steps must be ten hours or 100°.
The ten degrees / steps may be back from noon to the eastern horizon. A 360° sky = 36 divisions of 10° = 9 or 10 steps from noon to dawn. Thus, the ten degrees = ten steps from midday back to the eastern sunrise.
Moving the sun back and forth has the net effect of no net missing time. A continuous watch, from before the sun miracle and one year after when the sun moved back, would show no missing time. God moving the sun makes far more sense.
God asked Hezekiah if he would the sun move west ten steps or east ten steps = the sun moved back or forth = 180° = 12 hours = the sun on the other side of the earth and earth either flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, or earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Or, the sun now at noon, and the sun was moved to the eastern horizon in six hours = 180°.
God moving the sun is heavy lifting.
Joshua 10:8 "And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
Joshua must have been encouraged by the LORD.
God must move the moon when he moved the sun. That is, the moon's rotation locked in on the moon's orbit making only one side of the moon ever visible from earth. This means if in ancient times earth saw the other side of the moon, that means the sun must have been moved to the other side of earth and the moon moved to the other side of earth = earth seeing the far side of the moon.
There is no dark side of the moon. The far side gets just as much sun light as the near side. We only see the near side of the moon because the moon's rotation with the earth is tidal locked. The far side is much rougher = more crater impacts. The rabbit, or frog, look of the moon may be ancient witnesses of seeing the far side of the moon when the sun and moon were moved to the other side of the earth.
The princess Chang E is said to have ascended to the moon, perhaps describing the far side of the moon seen from China after Yao's long day, April 1, 2315 BC.
Far side of the Moon See picture on Wikipedia.
The far side, the moon on the far side, the sun on the other side of the earth.
The same side of the moon always faces the earth. Even on a new moon we can see earth shine on the same side. The moon is tidely locked. The tug and pull of gravity makes one side face the earth. The moon rotates every 29.5 days = the moon orbits every 29.5 days.
When God moved the sun to the other side of earth he had to move the moon to the other side of the earth. Rotating the moon to make the same side face the earth would disturb the dust on the face of the moon.
To turn the moon in 12 hours means to start a 180° rotation and stop it 12 hours later. Then a year or two later, to start to turn the moon and 12 hours later to stop.
The moon would have to be rotated 180° in twelve hours. Move the moon to the other side of the earth and we see the far side of the moon.
The moon would be tidally locked the one side, the far side, facing the earth for the year or two earth was in the reverse orbit.
Like stopping the earth's rotation, rotating the moon to make the same side of the moon face the earth would disturb the moon's dust on its surface.
Therefore, when God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, he must move the moon to the other side of the earth too, and we see the far side of the moon.
The far side = reality.
Only God can create life.
The Math Says Life Shouldn’t Exist: New Study Challenges Origins Theories
That God moved the sun to the other side of the earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit may become the next greatest evidence of Creation.
I invite you to do the math. This model makes specific predictions that match ancient astronomical records. The more you look into this model and solution, the more you will see this is the true solution. This is not something that does not stand up to a little scrutiny. The model works perfectly. These dates were fairly easy to calculate because they all point to Jesus. And in that these dates all point to Jesus, this is not making it up.
There can only be one truth. Only one date can be right. Most importantly this is the big picture.
2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
These dates pointing to Christ cannot be made more simple.
The Exodus on March 30, 1281 BC would have begun the 50 year jubile when that year Israel was to conquer Palestine. Then there was 40 years to Joshua's long day, either Saturday August 24, 1241 BC or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, that begins the 50 (and 49) year jubile, to the captivity September 7, 591 BC - 70 years to August 17, 521 BC, 50 year jubiles again unto Jesus beginning his ministry, the tenth day of the seventh month, Yom Kippur, Saturday, September 10, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Thus, Jesus began his ministry on new years eve, the 10th day of the 7th month.
49 year jubiles from 1281 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 182 X 7 = 1274 years = 26 X 49 years.
God must have planned the 50 year jubile to be in years X21 BC and X71 BC to Jesus' fulfillment speaking on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD. Thus, the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC needed a ten year adjustment for the jubile to be on a year X71 BC or X21 BC from X81 BC and a 70 year adjustment from X41 BC or X91 BC..
Only on a jubile year did the year begin on the tenth day of the seventh month. Other years the new year began on the first day of the seventh month, Rosh Hashanah.
From Yom Kippur Friday, October 7, 29 AD is three and a half years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
For there to be 3 X 365 days + 178 days from October 7, 29 AD, to Sunday, April 5, 33 AD = Jesus' resurrection, there would need to be additional long days at both the year end dates and the half orbit dates adding up to 3.5 X 48 hours = 168 hours.
Possibly that night Jesus gave his sacrifice to begin the seventh day, the day of seven days long = 84 hours longer.
Possibly to begin Jesus' ministry also a day of seven days longer = 84 hours + 84 hours = 168 hours = 3.5 years of a sped up reverse orbit. 168 hours long days of 168 hours sped up reverse orbit.
Then, just two sun miracles, October 7, 29 AD and April 4, 33 AD = the sun move to the other side of the earth and earth flow into a reverse orbit = the sun move back to the other side of the earth and earth flow out of the reverse orbit = long days = sped up reverse orbit = no net missing time.
Three and a half reverse orbits to when the sun can move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun April 3, 33 AD.
Perhaps two years of reverse orbit = both a 12 hours longer day at the end of the seven days of unleavened bread of the Passsover April 3, 31 AD, and a 7 X 12 hours, 84 hour, longer day/night April 3, 33 AD.
From April 3, 31 AD two reverse orbits, two years, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From October 7, 29 AD one and a half reverse orbits, one and a half years, to April 3, 31 AD.
Perhaps two half reverse orbits, sped up fall / winter orbits: Half a reverse orbit equals about 24 hours in sped up orbit, about because earth's orbit is elliptical. A sped up half reverse orbit equals 23:30 hours = a gap of half an hour. God may move the sun 180° or 360° at the half or full reverse orbit points = 24 hours long days and 23:30 hours sped up earth = 30 minutes missing. 30 minutes X 2 = one hour. Then time on earth and time on the sun would be equal when God moved the sun around the earth in just under one hour = 2 X 30 minutes.
The sun moved around the earth at the speed of light takes 53 minutes or 55 minutes. To continue for one hour, the sun over shoots the 360°. The difference of 5 minutes less than an hour is equal to the sun appearing at the 3 PM position on a sun dial instead of the 1 PM position, 55 minutes later. 60 minutes compared to 24 hours, 5 less minutes = 2 hours. 1 hour plus 2 hours = dark from noon to 3 PM on a sundial.
Picture a 24 hour dial and a 12 hour clock. 12:55 PM on the dial will match 5 less minutes, will match 2 less hours.
The difference from time on earth to time on the sun is one less hour for time on the sun because time stops at the speed of light.
Two half reverse orbits of 23:30 hours leaves one hour of missing time on earth that equals the one hour on the sun that time stopped.
Two half reverse orbits may be from October 29 AD to April 30 AD, and from October 30 AD to April 31 AD.
Such as, from October 7, 29 AD to April 7, 30 AD and from October 3, 30 AD to April 3, 31 AD.
Then, two years of reverse orbit from April 3, 31 AD to April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the reverse orbit continue from April 3, 31 AD to April 3, 33 AD.
There may be a sun miracle on Yom Kippur October 7, 29 AD.
The civil year begins the first day of the seventh month. But on a jubile year, the civil year begins on the 10th day, on Yom Kippur, of the seventh month.
Thus, the 50 year jubile, day ten of the seventh month, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or Friday, October 7, 29 AD, would begin the year instead day one of the seventh month September 1, 29 AD = Jesus reading Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
The 70 years of captivity counted for all the seventh fallow years that were not observed = 490 years from 1081 BC from David. Thus, the fallow years would be this 49th year = 28 AD and the 50th year be this Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
God made this adjustment with 40 years in the wilderness from 1281 BC to 1241 BC, then 70 years captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC = X21 BC in 50 year jubiles to 29 AD. 40 + 70 = 110. 1281 BC - 110 years = 1171 BC = X21 BC 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry. Adam born in year 700 in 4672 BC also = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD. From 4672 BC are 96 X 49 years, 4704 years, jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Adam born 4672 BC = 96 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice. Adam and Eve had no children till the first jubile 4623 BC = 95 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice and 93 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Back from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, back 490 years from 1242 BC to 1732 BC to when the sun stood still for ten days in the 8th year of emperor Kin, back 490 years to 2222 BC the first year of emperor Shun = 2250 years = 45 X 50 years, to Jesus speaking on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or Friday, October 7, 29 AD = back 5 X 490 years, or 50 X 49 years, to this 4672 BC.
Emperor Shun's first year was 56 of cycle 60, not 2042 BC but 180 years further back, in 2222 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on October 7, 29 AD, and 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD .
Or, emperor Shun's first year was 2019 BC = 50 years to Yu's first year in 2169 BC. Then, the sun miracle in Shun's 14th year from 2220 BC be in 2207 BC, or the sun miracle in Shun's 14th year from 2219 BC, be the sun moved to the other side of earth in 2207 BC and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun, and one year later the sun was moved back, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun, in 2206 BC.
Emperor Shun's 14th year was 2207 BC = 2200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
October 4, 2207 BC is the 17th day of the seventh month was six days before the fall equinox, October 10. Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month in September 12, 7 BC was ten days before the fall equinox, September 22.
Forward from 1242 BC 490 years to the death of King Uzziah, forward 490 years and 49 years and 49 years to Hanukkah in 164 BC and forward 49 years and 49 years to 66 BC, about 68 BC = 100 years to Jesus' sacrifice, forward 49 years to 17 BC and Herod began to rebuild the temple, forward 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
"Adam and Eve had no children till the first jubile"
The Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.22
The Dead Sea Scrolls name the river Jordan.
Deuteronomy 4:14 "And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither you are crossing over the Jordan to possess it."
From the crossing of the Jordan by the children of Israel in the 10th day of the first month, February 4, 1241 BC, perhaps a long day for all of them to cross; 188 days later is Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Thus, the same proportion of 24 hours for the long day; 188/365.24 = .5147; X 48 hours = 24.707 hours; .707 X 60 = 42 minutes; therefore 23:20 hours + 24:40 hours = 48 hours.
From August 10, 1241 BC to February 4, 1240 BC are 178 days. Likewise, from August 10, 1241 BC to February 5, 1239 BC when the sun did return on king Wan's dream, are 365 days + 179 days = one and a half orbits. From the fall equinox to the spring equinox are 178 days. So Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC is within the approximate half orbit time when the sun may return and earth flow out of, or into, or continue, in the reverse orbit.
Numbers 20:1 "Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there."
The sun may have moved to the other side of earth one year earlier at Miriam's death, the same day of the year, the first day of the first month, Saturday, February 4, 1242 BC or the first day of the week, the first day of the month, of the first month, Sunday, February 5, 1242 BC.
February 4, 1242 BC was the new moon on the sixth day of cycle 60, perhaps the sun moved to the other side of earth that day. Then one year later, Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Then three years later, February 5, 1239 BC on day 24 of cycle 60, on day six of the lunar day on king Wan's dream, the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
So, a day six of cycle 60 = February 4, 1242 BC, three years later on the same day, February 5, 1239 BC, a day six of the moon. Also, the six day moon would be the sixth lunar constellation of the 28 lunar constellations of the zodiak - Scorpius where the moon and planets were, was six signs from Corvus the first of the 28. From the first sign Jue in Virgo/Leo is six signs is Wei of Scorpius:
In king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, the sun in the first sign Jue in Virgo/Leo and the moon and planets above in the sixth sign of Wei of Scorpius.
Four years later = after February 4, 1242 BC = February 5, 1238 BC is the full moon and Passover.
Thus, three years later = after February 4, 1242 BC = February 5, 1239 BC is the six day moon and king Wan's dream when the sun was in Virgo in February!
And this in the first month of spring!
Adam was a real person and must have been J-M267 from South Asia from 4672 BC. J-M267..Out of its native Asian Continent J-M267 is 46% of Cohanim, about 30% from Aaron born 1363 BC, and 46% from Abraham. Of course Aaron is included with Abraham. Then from Adam in 4672 BC in South Asia, to Noah at the Aral Sea where was Noah's flood in 3307 BC.
The sun may rise in the west and set in the east, the 10th day of the month (Joshua crossed the Jordan the 10th day the first month Sunday, August 4, 1241 BC), Saturday February 9, 3307 BC, Noah enter the ark one week later, February 16, 3307 BC, the ark rest the 17th day of the 7th month, Saturday, August 17, 3307 BC (a type of Christ's birth the 17th day 7th month September 12, 7 BC), the sun return one year later, Sunday, February 9, 3306 BC and Noah leave the ark Sunday, February 16, 3306 BC (a type of Jesus' resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD).
Nevertheless, on Joshua's long day the sun may have risen in the east, stood still in the sky at noon for 24 hours, then set in the west, and earth continued in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Here you see a 17 day moon. Note it is a few days after the full moon, two or three days after the 14 or 15 day moon. Thus, the moon is not a circle. This picture was taken at 9 AM August 15, 2022, an hour before the moon set in the west.
The resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD would see the sun as brilliant as seven suns, rise in the east = this 17 day moon still visible in the west, become as brilliant as the sun reflecting the light of seven suns.
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, beside the mountains of Ararat."
"beside the mountains of Ararat" not on the mountain of Ararat.
"until the 14th day of the 7th month on the 3d day of the week."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 4Q252.
August 13, 3307 BC was both the third day of the week, Tuesday, and the 14th day of the lunar month = the full moon. Then the 17th day of the 7th month should be Friday, August 16, 3307 BC. 186 days back from August 16, 3307 BC = February 11, 3307 BC. 150 days back from the Armenian sothis new years possibly July 11 is Saturday February 9, 3307 BC and is two weeks before the 17 lunar day Saturday, February 23, 3307 BC.
"Frags. 29-32 col, VIII 1 "and the peace of God be with you, Israel..
2 The seventeenth of the month, in the evening, they shall bless.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Translated.
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."
If God moved the sun to the other side of the earth the night Jesus was born in September 12, 7 BC, then Arcturus would appear directly above Bethlehem that night.
The rain when Noah entered the ark may have been an atmospheric river. See "What are atmospheric rivers, and how are they affecting the B.C. floods?
Then to Abraham born 2607 BC, from Ur where was J1e in 2600 BC, Ur a city from 2700 BC, then to Jacob into Egypt in 2307 BC. This one father of the Jewish people was from 2300 BC according to the J1e Y-DNA = Jacob in 2307 BC.
That is, Jacob entered Egypt April 1, 2307 BC and Jacob called the father of Israel was born 2437 BC = 2200 BC + or - 150 years.
The first king of Ur lived in the 26th century, 2600 BC = the birth of Abraham October 18, 2607 BC.
The 49 year jubile continued without interruption from Adam in year 700 in 4672 BC, to Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From the Armenian sothis, not 2012 AD 1460 years to 552 AD, but 1460 year cycles, 76 years further back, to 474 AD, and to 1460 year cycles to the year of the world, Annos Mundi, from 5368 BC, 700th year, 700 A.M. = Adam in 4668 BC - 4672 BC.
Pharaoh Merneptah died not in 1205 BC but 76 years further back at the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle in 1281 BC. Likewise the Armenian sothis cycle dates must be put 76 years further back - not 552 AD but 474 AD / 476 AD.
The Armenian sothis cycle: 5368 BC less 1461 years to 3907 BC less 1460 years to 2447 BC less 1460 years to 987 BC less 1460 years to 474 AD.
From the Hebrew:
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
From the Greek Septuagint:
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were seven hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
From Adam in the Septuatint, in year 700 = 4668 BC are 94 X 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From Adam in 4672 BC are 96 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice. The sothis calender moves back one day every four years.
Knowing what you know and what you do not know is important.
The Exodus was Friday, March 30, 1281 BC at the end of the 1456 years in the Sothis cycle = the sun backs up one day every 4 years = no February 29 = 4 X 365 days = 1460 years, less one day 1456 years. The Exodus on the anniversary of Jacob and Israel enterning Egypt on sothis new year 430 from 2737 BC = 2307 BC. 430 / 4 back from July 16 = new years April 1, 2307 BC. 40 years in the wilderness to 1241 BC, Joshua and Israel crossing the Jordan river, February 4, 1241 BC and Joshua's long day that summer.
Abraham's father Terah died in year 205 when Abraham was 75. 205 years from 2737 BC is 2532 BC, less 75 years = Abraham born in 2607 BC.
Genesis 11:32 "And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran."
Genesis 12:4 "So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."
75 years = 38 years + 37 years. Abraham went to offer up Isaac when he was 137 years = Sarah 127 years when she died = 100 + 37 years. Abraham died at 175 years. 100 + 37 + 38 = 175 years = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
The sothis cycle from 2737 BC to the end of the 430 years the end of the sothis cycle 1281 BC was 1456 years.
Exodus 12:41 "And 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."
The Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC was the end of the 1456 year sothis from 2737 BC. Jacob entered into Egypt in 2307 BC in year 430 from 2737 BC. The end of the 430 years was the end of the sothis in 1281 BC from the sojourn in year 430 in 2307 BC.
From 2737 BC to Tera, Abraham's father's death in year 205 = 2532 BC. From Abraham's birth in 2607 BC to Abraham leaving Ur and Haran = 2532 BC.
Abraham lived 100 more years to 2432 BC to be 175 years old.
"This value would drop to about 1456 calendar years by the Middle Kingdom."
The 40 years in the wilderness from 1281 BC to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, 40 years later.
The moon should be setting in the west in the Ajalon valley while the sun was at noon = August 10, 1241 BC. The sun may move at half orbit points, from February 4 to August 10 is half an orbit, is 188 days that equal the 24 hours and the 40 minutes in the Missing Day Story.
"But the vernal mansions go to the west and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous directions of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east, etc. This discrepancy does not seem however to trouble their minds at all, and we may safely leave it unexplained."
The Chinese Classics III p.95
Here you can see spring is in the east! You can see the Chinese character for Fang/Scorpius directly east. For the sun to be in Scorpius in spring, right away we have a reverse orbit!
Likewise, each year in this reverse orbit, spring would be in the east. Thus, "the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east."
The zodiac depicted here, the sun is in Scorpius in the east in spring.
The sun can only be in Scorpius in fall.
Thus, God must have moved the sun to the other side of the earth and the sun be in Scorpius in spring.
Likewise, in king Wan's dream the six day moon and planets are in Scorpius above = the sun in Virgo in Spring = spring in the east!
From Yao in 2315 BC to king Wan in 1239 BC are 1000 years. Precession of the equinoxes makes a complete circle in 26,000 years. Precession of the equinox in 1000 years makes a change of one or two signs of the 28 lunar signs zodiac. This places the autumn sun in Scorpius in 2315 BC, and the autumn sun in Virgo in 1239 BC.
Nevertheless, the sun was in Virgo in 1239 BC in spring!.
That is, the sun in spring was in Scorpius in 2315 BC in this Yao's zodiac, and the sun in spring was in Virgo in 1239 BC in a reverse orbit.
Today the sun is in Scorpius in November/December instead of September because of the precession of the equinoxes = 360° in 26,000 years. Thus, in the 4,300 years since emperor Yao in 2300 BC to 2000 AD is equal to the slight change of the zodiac of two months.
In king Wan's dream the sun was in Virgo, the planets moved aside to Scorpius as God moved the sun around the earth. Again Spring is in the east. King Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC and Spring March 30, 1239 BC. In Yao's day 2315 BC Spring was April 11, 2315 BC.
Yao's first year is recorded 13th of cycle 60 in 2325 BC. Here I have used the date 2315 BC = ten years more recent.
If Yao's first year was 2325 BC, then his 19th year would be 2307 BC = Israel's sojourn into Egypt.
"In his first year. which was ping-tsze (13th of cycle 60 = 2145 BC + 180 years = 2325 BC), when he came to the throne, he dwelt in K'e; and commanded He and Ho to make calendaric calculations and delineations of the heavenly bodies. In his 5th year, he made the first tour of inspection to the four mountians. In his 7th year, there was a k'e-lin. In his 12th year, he formed the first standing army. In his 15th year, the chief of K'eu-sow came to make his submission. In his 19th year, he ordered the minister of Works to undertake the regulation of the Ho.."
The Chinese Classics, p.112.
Nevertheless, Yao's reign of 97 years from 2315 BC and Shun's reign of 50 years, matches emperor Yu's reign from 2169 BC.
The seven years of famine in Egypt began in 2308 BC. A loss of rain in Egypt may equal an abundance of rain in China, the river Ho then would overflow. "In his 19th year, he ordered the minister of Works to undertake the regulation of the Ho."
2325 BC was when Joseph was 20 years old.
Counting from Huangdi's first year, not 2697 BC, but 40 years more recent, 2657 BC. But Huangdi started counting in 60's, in his 20th year, from January 26, 2636 BC. Thus, 60 years from 2696 BC = 2636 BC the actual first year of sixty. Likewise, Yao's first year was not 2357 BC but 40 years more recent, 2315 BC.
The Chinese counted their lunar months from the exact time the moon passed by the sun = the new moon = January 26, 2636 BC.
2636 BC / 128 = 20 days. January 26, 2636 BC = January 6 Gregorian.
Earth's year is 365.24 days. So, although the Julian calendar has a leap year, an extra day, every four years, there is a .01 day difference in the Julian calendar that adds one day every 128 years. From 1 AD on in our Gregorian calendar the tropical calendar is kept in check.
60 days after the new moon January 26 is the new moon March 26 = March 6 Gregorian = 16 days to the spring equinox.
January 26, 2636 BC = 76 days to the spring equinox = 31 + 45 days = Chinese spring one month early.
"In his (Huangdi) 20th year brilliant clouds appeared..Note "The auspicious omen of brilliant clouds..The emperor in yellow robes fasted..there came together phoenixes, male and female."
The Chinese Classics. p.108.
Phoenixes were the angels that moved the sun and moon.
Ancient people were afraid of the omen of lunar and solar eclipses. They were also afraid of the omen of sun miracles. They believed God controled the universe. In that they believed God controled the movement of the sun and moon and took them as omens. They were right, and God moved the sun to point to the coming of his Son.
The first year of emperor Yao may be in the spring of 2315 BC.
From Huangdi in 2657 BC 100 years to 2557 BC, 41 years to Chuen-heuh in 2515 BC, 200 years to Yao in 2315 BC. From 2557 BC to Yao is 240 years. 240 / 60 = 4. 2557 BC is year 20 of cycle 60. 2315 BC is also year 20 of cycle 60.
King Wan's dream was in the beginning of Chinese Spring that was 45 days before the spring equinox. 1239 BC / 128 = 10 days. February 5, 1239 BC = January 26 = 53 days before the spring equinox March 20. King Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC again Spring is in the East!
We know the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun on king Wan's dream probably February 5, 1239.
We know one and a half orbits before this God made the sun stand still in the sky for a day for Joshua on Joshua's long day, probably August 10, 1241 BC.
We know earth's orbit must be sped up 48 hours in a reverse orbit for there to be 365 days a year, that equals there must be a total of 48 hours of long days = the sun moving with earth's rotation for a total of 48 hours. In a half orbit this is 24 hours.
We know the battle of Merom in the next chapter in Joshua 11 was some months after Joshua's long day. We know this was the same battle in Judges 4 and 5 because the same King Jabin that was defeated is recorded. We know from these two verses there must have been a sun miracle, probably February 4, 1240 BC = one year before God moved the sun back on king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC and one year after God moved the sun for a long day at the crossing of the river Jordan on dry ground, February 4, 1241 BC, and six months after Joshua's long day in Joshua 10, that is the next chapter in Joshua 11.
The battle of Merom = the battle of Deborah and Barak = King Jabin. Mount Tabor in Judges 4 is also in Judges 8 the battle of Gideon.
Judges 4:2 "And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
4:3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel."
Judges 4:5 "And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
4:6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?"
Joshua 11:1 "And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
Joshua 11:7 "So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining."
Judges 5:20 "They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
Note the exclamation mark ! "be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might!"
Deuteronomy 6:4 " Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."
Judges 5:30 "Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to everyH7218 man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?"
2 Samuel 22:44 "Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be headH7218 of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me."
H7218 רֹאשׁ rô'sh roshe From an unused root apparently meaning to shake; the head (as most easily shaken), whether literally or figuratively (in many applications, of place, time, rank, etc.): - band, beginning, captain, chapiter, chief (-est place, man, things), company, end, X every [man], excellent, first, forefront, ([be-]) head, height, (on) high (-est part, [priest]), X lead, X poor, principal, ruler, sum, top. Total KJV occurrences: 598
Roshe means "Head" and Rosen is a common Jewish surname.
This 2 Samuel 22 is the same as Psalm 18 and describes sun miracles. This next verse in Judges 5:31 "be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might!" also describes a sun miracle.
2 Samuel 22:4 "I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praisedH1984: so shall I be saved from mine enemies."
Psalm 18:3 "I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praisedH1984 : so shall I be saved from mine enemies."
Psalm 113:3 "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praisedH1984."
"to be praisedH1984" used these three times.
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leningrad Codex, Volume 4, 2 Samuel. p.341.

From the above diagram of the lunar zodiak we can see Fang/Scorpius in the east when Chinese spring is supposed to be in the east. Spring in the east can only be from a reverse orbit.
The sun in Scorpius in spring, the sun in spring would normally in 2300 BC would be in Taurus, = 180° difference; this means the sun had to have moved to the other side of earth, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun on this full moon, April 1, 2315 BC, or on this new moon, April 1, 2316 BC, when the sun stood still ten days and Yao became emperor of China and Joseph governor of Egypt.
The full moon April 3, 2315 BC = Joseph as governor of Egypt = Joseph welcoming his father Jacob and brothers into Egypt = year 430 from 2737 BC = the full moon April 2, 2307 BC = the Exodus the end of the 1456 year sothis, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = the Passover when Jesus was crucified Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
From the 50 year jubile in 2322 BC are 47 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' fulfillment when he read Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD. Then seven years to 2315 BC the first year of plenty and seven more years of famine from 2308 BC.
The 49 year jubile coincides with 2320 BC, the 50 year jubile begins with 2322 BC. 7 more years to 2313 BC 7 more years to 2306 BC. Jacob entered Egypt in the second year of famine 2307 BC, a difference of at least one year.
Likewise, was the second year, of Darius, 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth:
Ezra 4:23 "Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
That is, the work on the house of God began in 521 BC = 550 years to Jesus' ministry, then ceased 15 years till 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth.
After Artaxerxes was Darius II. King Artaxerxes died in 418 BC. Then was Xerxes II for two months, and Sogdianus for seven months = Darius II reigning in the next year from 417 BC.
From 418 BC are 9 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Daniel 9:1 "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;"
Daniel 11:1 "Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him."
Ahasuerus was Xerxes. The son of Ahasuerus, Xerxes, is Darius II, not Darius I.
Xerxes is said to have been born in 518 BC. With a 13 year correction Xerxes must have been born in 507 BC = 500 years to the birth of Jesus.
Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
Ezra 4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
There are two Darius', Darius I King 13 years more recent from 509 BC = the second year 507 BC, and Darius II King 10 years more recent from 413 BC, the second year 411 BC or Darius II King 14 years more recent from 409 BC = 9 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, Darius II's second year 407 BC.
Darius I was about thirty when he became King. Darius II would be about 62 in about 413 BC when he became King.
Then Daniel must have lived to 413 BC, and live more than 200 years.
In 2222 BC both the 49 year jubile and the 50 year jubile are the same year. The first 49 year jubile from 5358 BC. The first Armenian sothis year from 5368 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice. In 4672 BC both the 50 year and 49 year jubile coincide in year 700 when Adam was born.
Jesus born about September 12, 7 BC would be 38.5 years old at his sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus all the dates pointing to the 38.5 years of Jesus' perfect life from the beginning of time.
Back 1460 years from 5368 BC is 6828 BC. 6828 BC + 32 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 6860 years. 6860 years divided by 49 is 140. Then 140 times 49 year jubiles from the earliest Armenian sothis cycle to Jesus' sacrifice.
Back 1460 years from 6828 BC is 8288 BC + 32 years to April 3, 33 AD is 8320 years. 8320 years / 49 = 169.79 jubiles.
.79 X 49 = 38.7 years. Thus, the sothis year 8288 BC to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD = 169 X 49 years + 38 years = 169 jubiles plus the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Back 1460 years from 8288 BC = 9748 BC. From 9748 BC back 1460 years = 11208 BC, about 11207 BC = 11200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Luke 1:70 "As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:"
"13,000-year-old buildings discovered in Mardin"
"Scientists Found a 12,000-Year-Old Monument—Turns Out It May Be Humanity’s Oldest Calendar"
"the summer solstice in particular was highlighted with a V worn around the neck of a bird-like beast meant to represent the summer solstice constellation during that time."
Popular Mechanics
The new sothis in 8288 BC = 10,000 years ago.
This bird may represent the phoenix.
Solar eclipse may have changed the architecture of ancient Egypt forever The total solar eclipse of April 1, 2471 BC only lasted minutes. God moving the sun around the earth at the speed of light = the sun darkened almost totaly black and becomes a faint vertical red line, takes almost one hour. Far more likely the omen to move away from sun worship was one or several sun miracles.
Here you can see this total solar eclipse, April 1, 2471 BC was not visible in Egypt:
The omen to begin this calendar may not have been a comet but a sun miracle pointing to Jesus coming. Sun miracles 38.5 years apart in even 100's to Jesus' birth and sacrifice pointed to the 38.5 years of Jesus' perfect life.
Thus, these omens were recorded from the beginning of civilization. The dates in the Ancient Book of Jubilees begin from 5368 BC.
"Volcanic eruption caused Neolithic people to sacrifice unique 'sun stones'"
"4,900 years ago a Neolithic people in the Danish Island Bornholm sacrificed hundreds of stones engraved with the sun and field motifs..coincided with a large volcanic eruption that made the sun disappear throughout Northern Europe."
"In the year 43 BC when a volcano in Alaska spewed large quantities of sulphur into the stratosphere, harvests failed the following years in the countries around the Mediterranean, causing famine and disease. This is well-documented in written sources from ancient Greece and Rome."
4900 years ago is 2900 BC. 43 BC is just after Julius Caesar was assassinated on the ides of March = darkness at the passover March 15, 45 BC = God must have moved the sun around the earth at the speed of light. Then there may be climate affects the following years after 2900 BC and 43 BC.
Then, the sun stones may represent God moving the sun and not a volcanic eruption.
Using the 50 year jubile to Jesus' fulfillment when he spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, 2322 BC was a 50 year jubile, then this same 2315 BC began the seven years of plenty. The next seven years of famine begin in 2308 BC, the second year in 2307 BC, exactly matching the seven year cycles.
Both precession of the equinoxes, one month in 1000 years from 2315 BC to 1240 BC, and the sun miracle two months before the spring equinox; means Scorpius was in the east in Yao's lunar zodiac, and that the sun was in Virgo on king Wan's dream = Scorpius straight up at sunset. Three months of the 12 months in a year equals a 90° difference in Scorpius in the east 2315 BC and Scorpius above February 5, 1239 BC.
February 4, 1239 BC, the winter sun in Hunan China, at the 30th parallel, rose to 43° above the horizon. The moon orbits higher in winter, and the moon and Saturn together rose to 54° above the horizon. Thus, the moon and Saturn high above at sunset in China at the time of king Wan's dream. Also, there was five hours between sunset at 5 PM to when Saturn/Moon would set at 10 PM = enough distance for the sun to set and the stars come out and the moon and Saturn appear above in China in fang/scorpius.
The exact measurement is from February 4, 1241 BC to the vernal equinox April 1, 1241 BC, is 56 days - almost two months, 2 X 29.5 = 59 days. 2315 BC to 1240 BC = 1074 years. Precession is one day every 128 years. 1074 / 128 = 9 days. This, because a year is 365.24 days and not 365.25 days = the Julian calendar backs up one day every 128 years. All told = two months. The lunar zodiac was approximate - some lunar signs that should be 1 / 28 are as large as some zodiac signs that are 1 / 12. Thus, one more sign of twelve signs of 360° = three signs of twelve signs = 2 months + one sign of precession = 90°.
Thus, 90 days or 90° make this Scorpius in the sun in the east in Spring in 2315 BC to above at sunset and the sun in Virgo in king Wan's dream at sunset in China in February 5, 1239 BC. Scorpius/Fang complete 90° in comparison of the zodiac of Yao in 2315 BC and king Wan in 1239 BC.
The sun moved 180° back one year later, on Tuesday, February 4, 1240 BC and move 180° again Wednesday February 5, 1240 BC, or 360° on February 4, 1240 BC, and earth flowed out of and again into the reverse orbit of the sun. Then, two years later, on February 5, 1239 BC, the sun move 180° east, 180° back, to stand still at noon in Israel, at sunset in China, as described in detail in king Wan's dream - and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The sun must have been moved two years before, and earth flow into the reverse orbit, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC on the tenth day and the sun move back two years later, Thursday, February 5, 1239 BC on the sixth day, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Likewise at Noah's flood, the sun rose in the west and set in the east by tradition, on the 10th day of the second month, seven days before the flood, in February of 3307 BC, about this same time of year, February 4, 1241 BC:
Genesis 7:10 "And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
Thus, the sun move to the other side of the earth also on the 10th day of the month, February 4, 1241 BC. Thus, the sun move to the other side of earth seven days before Noah's flood, the 10th day of the second month, February 9, 3307 BC.
And the sun move back two years after February 4, 1241 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit on king Wan's dream, probably February 5, 1239 BC. Again, spring is in the east, the sun is in Virgo in 1241 BC and not in Pisces, again 180° apart. Thus the reverse orbit of the earth is described again! And both Joshua's long day and king Wan's dream are only one and an half orbits apart.
Thus, the space men should make the connection to Joshua's long day in Joshua 10:12.
The sun must have moved two years before king Wan's dream, at the crossing of the Jordan February 4, 1241 BC and the sun moved back two years later February 5, 1239 BC on king Wan's dream.
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still from the half of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
The Septuagint reads "whole day" an additional day without night between = 24 hours.
Joshua 10:12 in the Septuagint. Note there is no verse 15.
The Septuagint of Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun was exalted and the moon stood still in her course"
Again "from the half of heaven" means the night after Joshua's long day, Israel saw the stars from the half of heaven. The earth in the reverse orbit meant the sun was in Aquarius the night before Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, was again in Aquarius the night following Joshua's long day = the sun again was half the sky away from Gemina where the sun would normally be in August and the sun be in Aquarius as earth continued in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Nevertheless, "from the half of heaven" may simply mean from the half of the sky = the sun at noon.
Probably the sun revolved 360° around the earth and earth continued in the reverse orbit of the sun, from a long day the day of the crossing of the Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = the sun moved to the other side of the earth that day and earth continued in a reverse orbit of the sun until king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC when the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow p.143, The Chinese Classics.
The male phoenix is the angel that moved the sun. The female phoenix is the angel that moved the moon.
In this February 5, 1239 BC Saturn is in Taurus and Jupiter is beside it in Pisces 180° away from Scorpius.
The phoenix duck is depicted as a bird above the sun. The top character is the sun, then the moon, then the duck above the sun:
King Wan may have recorded the sun standing still at sunset because there had recently been other like sun miracles. Such as: 180° February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day = 360° August 10, 1241 BC and 360° February 4, 1240 BC, 360° August 10, 1240 BC and 180° February 5, 1239 BC = the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Two years of reverse orbit = the same 2 X 48 hours of long days, 2 X 180° and 3 X 360°.
The song of the phoenix was like P'o P'o. The phoenix was known for its sweet song. So king Wan must have both seen the phoenix and heard the phoenix.
"The voice of the phoenix was celebrated for its sweetness." cf. of the Jewish poet Ezekiel v:10. "Its colour was purple" (Pliny).
"King Wan was like the sun or the moon. He lightened with his shining the four quarters, -- the western regions."
"Brightens all within the four seas" in king Wan's dream may refer to Fang/Scorpius rising in the east where the Pacific Ocean is before the sun rose that night. The four seas, the four quarters.
"The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas." 12 hours later the sun would be on the other side of the earth and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. Then Fang/Scorpius would rise six hours before the sun in the east above the Pacific Ocean.
Often the picture of Joshua's long day is the last quarter moon standing still on the western horizon above the valley of Ajalon and the sun standing still in the noon position.
That picture may be right. Joshua's long day may have been on the last quarter moon = the moon in the valley of Ajalon when the sun was at noon.
The moon must move with the sun. Thus, Joshua commanded the moon also.
The day of Joshua's long day may have started out as a normal day.
Two reverse orbits from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC to the full moon, the first day of the feast of tabernacles, August 11, 1239 BC when the sun should move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. King Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC would mean the sun stood still at noon on Israel, at sunset on China, for 24 hours not 12 hours.
Joshua 10:14 "There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel."
There were many sun miracles. Joshua's long day was noteable because "the LORD heeded the voice of a man".
Joshua's long day must be on the half orbit point to work.
Move the sun to the other side of a globe and you will see earth's axis is equal at the half orbit point when God may move the sun back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Here you can see the sun above Israel about where it was on Joshua's long day. Note the earth is 23° off axis, the sun in the constellation about Taurus = earth continued to rotate east = Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius etc 360° as the sun was moved 360° for 24 hours. The black line is the path of the sun through the ecliptic of the zodiak.
We know the sun returned February 5, 1239 BC. Then either the sun moved 180° for 12 hours for Joshua to begin the reverse orbit, or that the sun moved 180° at the crossing of the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC. Then at the half orbit point August 10, 1241 BC the sun must move 2 X 180° = 360° to stand still at noon for 24 hours.
Or the sun moved to the other side of earth February 4, 1242 BC at the death of Miriam Moses' sister. Then August 10, 1242 BC would be a 24 hour longer day, and February 4, 1241 BC = the crossing of the river Jordan be a 24 hour longer day to both cross the river and to climb to mount Ebal and mount Gerizim to read all of the law in one day.
If the reverse orbit started February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua must have chose the right day. Earth already in a reverse orbit, and God may have moved the sun 360° around the earth for 24 hours and earth continue in the reverse orbit. After the moon and the sun set in the west.
Thus, earth already in a reverse orbit, and then the sun revolved around the earth 360° in 24 hours, = earth would continue in the reverse orbit till king Wan's dream one and a half orbits later.
Joshua 23:4 "Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward."
Joshua's long day 188 days after the crossing of the river Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, would be the last quarter moon, August 10, 1241 BC.
Then sun return February 4, 1240 BC about the battle of Merom in Joshua 11, and Judges 4, 5, and give Joshua 12, or 24 hours, more hours to pursue the king Jabin and general Sisera to Zidon. And move the sun to the other side of the earth again the same day, February 4, 1240 BC. And earth continue in the reverse orbit of the sun to February 5, 1239 BC, on the first quarter moon as in king Wan's dream.
King Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC means God must have moved the sun back one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Half an orbit before Joshua's long day was the crossing of the river Jordan into Israel, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC - two weeks before the fall of Jericho. And thus there not be a sun miracle at the fall of Jericho. Two weeks before the fall of Jericho is Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC and half an orbit later is Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
February 5, 1239 BC is this first quarter moon as in king Wan's dream. And two years earlier may have been a long day when Israel crossed the river Jordan and the same day climbed to Bethel and mount Gerizim and mount Ebal and Joshua read all the law of Moses - Deuteronomy 27:2.
Deuteronomy 11:29 "And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
Deuteronomy 27:4 "Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister."
There is the possibility Joshua read the law when the Children of Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground. There would need to be a long day for Israel to climb up to Shechem and hear the law.
"I command you this day" may be the current day. The seventh month would be the time, the first day or the 10th day or the feast of taberncles = the last day of the feast of tabernacles was Joshua's long day.
In the original V, there is no gap between Deuteronomy 11 and Deuteronomy 27 "the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal" the same day the children of Israel were to cross the river Jordan.
Israel may have already been in northern Israel. Thus, the Samaritan tradition that predates Moses in the last chapters of Deuteronomy and predates Joshua entering the Promised Land.
See The Valediction of Moses, by Idan Dershowitz. "V is a relatively short composition" - Deuteronomy 11 continues with Deuteronomy 27. Thus, the 16 chapters in the middle are not in the original and the focus is on: "the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal"
Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Joshua 3:5 "And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you."
"In the book of the law. There was not a word of all Moses had commanded Joshua that Joshua failed to read in the presence of the the entire Israel as they were crossing the Jordan and the women and the children and the strangers who accompanied them after they stepped..the book of the law. Then came up the bearers of the Ark. At that time YHWH said to Joshua, "Make flint knives."
4Q379 the Joshua Scroll, p.117. The Dead Sea Scrolls.
Joshua 4:10 "For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over."
The children of Israel passed over in ranks of 50. At 50 at a time, 50 per second, it would take eleven hours for all two million of them, 600,000 grown men, to passover the dry river bed of Jordan.
Joshua may have spoken the blessings when Israel crossed the river Jordan.
Joshua and Israel may have climbed up to Shechem, by mount Gerizim and mount Nebal, to speak the blessings and cursings that same day = a long day.
Joshua 5:2 "At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
Deuteronomy 11:29 "And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
Deuteronomy 27:4 "Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister."
Deuteronomy 27:13 "And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali."
Joshua 8:30 "Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,"
The older Samaritan Pentateuch reads the altar was built on mount Gerizim not mount Ebal. The place the Lord has chosen instead of the place the Lord will choose, meaning the children of Israel already worshipped on mount Gerizim.
John 4:20 "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
This may mean there were Israelites already in Israel before Joshua came. The setting of Judges 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are of Israelites already in northern Israel before Joshua came = the land had rest for 40 years = 40 years from Joshua's conquest. The Israelites in the south were destroyed by pharaoh Merneptah = the Merneptah stele = "Israel is laid waste and his seed is not;" in 1286 BC before Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
Joshua 8:33 "And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel."
Joshua 8:30 - 8:33, appears in the Dead Sea Scrolls after Joshua 4 and before Joshua 5 = the same day that Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan.
Thus, this February 4, 1241 BC, the tenth day of the first month, when Israel crossed the river Jordan may have been one very long day.
"4Q379's view on the beginning of the Jubilean computation, shared by the Samaritan tradition, differs from the rabbinic halakha. The latter postulates that the Sabbatical computation begins fourteen years after the entrance into the Promised Land.
4Q379 the Joshua Scroll, p.114. The Dead Sea Scrolls.
The 14th year from 1241 BC would be 1226 BC = the first year of emperor Te-sin in China. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle in this 1226 BC that the Chinese took as an omen for a new emperor.
There are many records of dates, possibly sun miracles, on years ending X27 BCor X26 BC.
From 27 BC / 26 BC are 50 years to 24 AD when Jesus would be 30 years old.
Likewise, years ending in X18 BC, X68 BC, X41 BC, X91 BC, X21 BC, X71 BC, X07 BC, are 50 year jubiles that point to Jesus' life and ministry.
Also, years ending in X45 BC marked the 38 years of Jesus' life backwards from 45 BC to his birth in 7 BC, such as Yao's 70th year in 2245 BC and Joseph's birth in 2345 BC.
Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
Numbers 4:3 "From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation."
2 Samuel 5:4 "David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years."
1 Kngs 2:11 "And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem."
1 Chronicles 23:3 "Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand."
Josiah's 18th year and great Passover would be 626 BC = 600 years later. When the ark was taken into the temple.
From 1226 BC to Josiah's 18th year and Passover, from 645 BC is 626 BC = 600 years from 1226 BC.
From 1227 BC to the first year of Cyrus the Great of Babylon in 527 BC are 700 years.
From Cyrus in 527 BC to Alexander the Great in 323 BC, the Persian period is 200 years.
2 Chonicles 36:22 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
36:23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up."
Cyrus began his reign over Persia in 547 BC = 29 years to 518 BC. Cyrus was King of Babylon = this first year of Cyrus, must be 527 BC = the year of his decree, to rebuild the temple, which was begun at the return from the 70 years of captivity in 521 BC. The building of the temple was halted by Cyrus about 518 BC and Cyrus died in 518 BC.
Cyrus reigned 9 years from Babylon, from 527 BC to 518 BC. Cambyses reigned 8 years from 518 BC to Darius in 510 BC.
Cambyses' 7th year was recorded the lunar eclipses of May 25, 510 BC and November 18, 510 BC.
Gaumata the Magus claimed the throne from Cambyses "in the spring (full moon) March 11, 522 BC" corrected March 16, 509 BC. A full moon on the Passover may have the sun darkened and be the omen for a new King.
The wrong date, the full moon, March 11, 522 BC:
The right date, the full moon, March 16, 509 BC:
Cambyses died in July 509 BC.
The Darius reigned from July 509 BC and the second year of Darius from July 508 BC to July 507 BC. Then the building of the temple from the seventh month of his second year would be in September of 507 BC.
Darius the Great is said to have reigned to his 35th year and died in October.
Nevertheless Darius must have reigned 13 years more recent, not from 522 BC, but from July 509 BC to October 477 BC / 478 BC = 32 years, or 31 years from July 509 BC to October 478 BC.
Thus, the difference from Darius to Xerxes, is Darius reigned not 36 years as according to Herodotus, but 31 years according to Ctesias.
Then Darius' son Xerxes reigned from 478 BC to his 21st year in 458 BC = the 20th year and death of Xerxes = the wall built that summer = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Nehemiah 1:1 "The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,"
Nehemiah 2:1 "And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence."
The twentieth year should be the twentieth year of Xerxes, not Artaxerxes.
Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."
Elul is the sixth lunar month August/September.
The 70 years of Israel's captivity may have been from 591 BC to 521 BC. July of 509 BC may have been the first year of Darius the king of Persia. Cyrus the Great must have wrote the decree of the return of the Jews, after 70 years of captivity, 591 BC - 521 BC. Thus, the second temple period began in 521 BC. They left off building the temple after laying the foundation in 521 BC for fifteen years to 507 BC and to 504 BC when the second temple was finished on the third of Adar = February 10, 504 BC.
The solar eclipse record in China for day 48 of cycle 60 was for 504 BC, not 505 BC. February 10, 504 BC was Adar three.
A sun miracle marked the completion of the second temple.
Darius reigned 31 years according to Ctesias, who served in the Persian court of Artexerxes Mnemon, 404 BC - 359 BC, 17 years and thoroughly researched the Persian Archives stated Darius reigned 31 years. Herodotus stated Darius reigned 36 years.
However, Herodotus never set foot in Persia.
It is recorded Darius reigned 35 years. However, the last year of Cambyses his 7th year, according to the two lunar eclipses, in May and November, was in 510 BC. His son Xerxes became King in 477 BC. This leaves 32 years, even this 31 years according to the Persian Archives.
Darius reigned not from 523 BC but from 509 BC = a 14 year adjustment.
"Elam was the first region to rebel..Nidintu-Bel, a Babylon upstart who on 3 October 522 BC, proclaimed himself Nebuchadnezzar III, King of Babylon and King of Lands..on 13 December a battle took place on the River Tigris.."
Persians, the Age of Great Kings, Lloyd Llowellyn-Jones, p.109.
The lunar eclipses in the seventh year of Cambyses for July 17, 523 BC and January 10, 522 BC, must be rather, month IV, May 25, 510 BC and be month X, November 18, 510 BC:
Both lunar eclipses are visible from Greece:
Anchor date (year 7 of Cambyses in 523 BCE) owing to tablet BM 33066125:
19 Year 7 month IV, night 14, 1 2/3 beru (= 50° = 50x4 minutes) after sunset,
20 the Moon makes a total eclipse, [but] a little is left over, north [wind] went.
21 month X, night 14, 2 1/2 beru (= 75° = 75x4 minutes) to sunrise are left over,
22 the Moon makes a total eclipse. South and north, clouded, went.
Yes, there are two possible time periods. Jupiter has an orbit of 12 years. 12 years after 523 BC is 511 BC. Yet, the second eclipse pair for 510 BC does work.
Here you see the wrong dates, July 17, 523 BC and January 10, 522 BC:
Here you see the right dates, May 25, 510 BC and November 18, 510 BC:
The lunar eclipse in the twentieth year of Darius I for November 19, 502 BC must be October 19, 491 BC.
The lunar eclipse in the thirty-first year of Darius I for April 25, 491 BC must be March 25, 480 BC.
Then Darius I reigned from 510 BC to his 31st year in 480 BC. Then also Darius reigned three more years to 477 BC when his son Xerxes became emperor.
The 31 years for Darius I must begin in July of 509 BC, his 2nd year from 508 BC to 507 BC, his 6th year in 504 BC = the end of the same year ending in February, the 3rd of Adar February 10, 504 BC.
The lunar eclipse in the thirty-first year of Darius I for April 25, 491 BC must be March 25, 480 BC.
But the 31st and last year of Darius I was in October of 477 BC.
Dead Sea Scroll, 4Q550: "Darius the king to the kings who will reign after me and to those who exercise authority, greeting, let it be known that every oppressor and liar.."
Dead Sea Scroll, 4Q550c: "However, whatever you want, command me, and when you die, I will bury you."
Darius died in October of 477 BC.
"Darius I took the throne after the death of Cyrus's son Cambyses II, and though his reign would not have been possible without the empire and administration groundwork laid by Cyrus the Great before him, Darius proved himself just as worth of the epithet. Reigning for over 35 years, Darius kept control of the massive Persian Empire despite numerous rebellions and uprisings, and he also managed to implement reforms and improvements that established the empire's golden age."
Darius the Great and Xerxes I, p.4.
Darius reigned 31 years according to the Persian Archives.
Thus Darius I reigned, not 35 years, but 31 years, or 32 years, from 509 BC to 477 BC.
April 25, 491 BC is the same date, day of the 30 day calendar in Egypt = March 25, 480 BC:
13 years more recent from this full moon, Thursday, 3 October 522 BC, should be the full moon Friday, 8 October, 509 BC. Friday or Thursday = the same day of the week.
Darius won a victory three days before the new moon, on Sunday, 8 May 521 BC, which should be Monday, 14 May 508 BC. Sunday or Monday = the same day of the week.
The battle of Lade supposed to be in 494 BC against Darius I. This battle should be 10 years more recent, in 484 BC in the 25th year of Darius.
Then the battle of Marathon, not in 490 BC, but ten years more recent, in 480 BC = Mars seen in September, the Duke Ching of Sung, the father of Luh-ching was Duke Ching of Sung, saw Mars in the heart constellation of Scorpius and was disturbed. Mars that should be in Leo, was seen in Scorpius.
The Spartans would not fight on the full moon because of their religion. The full moon September 9, 490 BC, the battle of Marathon September 12, 490 BC.
September 12, 490 BC:
The battle must be 8 years more recent about Sunday, September 12, 482 BC = The 17th day of the seventh month. Jesus must have been born the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC.
The same September 12 in 482 BC as in September 12, 490 BC:
The battle of Marathon was supposed to be September 12, 490 BC = the 17th day of the seventh month = Friday, September 21, 480 BC = Jesus' birth the 17th day of the seventh month, Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. Perhaps there was the omen of a sun miracle that day that equals the day the King of China, Duke Ching of Sung, was troubled when he saw Mars in Scorpius when it should have been in Leo.
The September sunset would see Mars in this heart constellation of Scorpius above at dark. Thus, the King observed Mars before he went to bed and observed Mars had moved.
Mars could have been the star the wisemen saw. God could easily have moved Mars to be above Bethlehem, in September of 5 BC, and keep Mars directly above Bethlehem until the wisemen found Jesus in the house of Joseph and Mary.
God could make Mars or Jupiter or Saturn, to be the star the wisemen followed to Bethlehem.
Jupiter is 468 million miles from the sun. Saturn is 886 million miles from the sun. The speed of light is 670 million miles per hour.
Saturn to stand still in the sky as earth rotates (886 X 2 X 3.1416) / 24 = 231 million miles per hour.
Jupiter (468 X 2 X 3.1416) / 24 = 122 million miles per hour.
Mars (142 X 2 X 3.1416) / 24 = 37 million miles per hour.
To make Jupiter or Saturn appear at the same position = to stand still in the sky, as earth rotated, Saturn would need to be moved at 231 million miles per hour = one third the speed of light, 670 million miles per hour, and Jupiter 122 million miles per hour and Mars 37 million miles per hour.
Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC.
Nevertheless, there was a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on September 15, 7 BC. Jesus may have been born September 12, 7 BC.
Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction December 22, 2020:
Very likely there was a sun miracle at this battle of Marathon in September of 480 BC. A long day in Greece = a long sunset in China = Mars moved out of the way of the sun. The sun miracle would point to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
There was a reported capture of a Qilin, a phoenix, in China in 480 BC; 722 BC - 242 years = 480 BC:
"The first studied classic is The Spring and Autumn Annals, which chronicles the events of the state of Lu in the Spring and Autumn period. Starting from the first month of the first year under the reign of the Duke Lin of Lu (722 BC), the book ends at an event 242 years later, the capture of a qilin (unicorn) in a westbound hunt. The qilin does not exist in reality, so why does a historical record stop abruptly at the capture of a legendary animal? Obviously it was supported by the belief that qilin existed..
Confucious mostly wanted to dream of a phoenix. What does, "the phoenix does not arrive" mean? The phoenix was a mythological bird in Confucious' imagination..."
Myths of Creation of the Chinese. p.79.
"So, the central position is for the holiest of all, which is the King of Gods of the universe. What is that? It looks like a qilin, a two footed animal dancing, which has a little tail too. You might be able to tell, that it is a holy bear standing in the central position of the sky."
Myths of Creation of the Chinese. p.90.
The reality is the qilin and phoenix were angels that moved the sun around the earth. Of course God is the holiest of all.
September 21, 480 BC, the 17th day of the 7th month. Jesus' birth may have been the 17th day of the 7th month September 12, 7 BC.
From October 480 BC is 73 X 7 years = 511 years, to October 32 AD.
"An example of this whole proceedure on the state level can be seen in the "substitute king ritual." In this case omens, usually an eclipse, would indicate that the diety was displeased with the king.. the final act when the substitute was put to death."
Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament. p.142
Ezra 4:23 "Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
Cyrus commanded to build the temple at Jerusalem about 525 BC and the work began about 521 BC at the return of the captivity of 70 years from 591 BC. 521 BC = 550 years to Jesus beginning his ministry on the 50 year cycle jubile from 521 BC, on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, when he stood up to read Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. Cyrus sent a letter to cease the building of the temple about 518 BC = 500 years till king Herod ordered to rebuild the temple in 18 BC. Work on the temple began in the second year of Darius in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth.
"The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt against kings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition. Jerusalem has had powerful kings ruling over the whole of Trans-Eurphrates, and taxes, tribute, and duty were paid by them. Now issue an order to these men to stop work, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order. Be careful not to neglect this matter. Why let this threat grow, to the detriment of the royal interests?"
Persians, the Age of Great Kings, by Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones. p.282.
The rebuilding of the temple began in 521 BC, a 50 year jubile to begin Jesus' ministry in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. The building of the temple resummed in 507 BC; both a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice and 500 years to Jesus' birth.
The Persian period, not from Cyrus king of Lydia from 547 BC to Alexander the Great in 333 BC, but from 533 BC to 323 BC = the 210 years.
From Cyrus king of Lydia in 547 BC, rather 13 years more recent, from 533 BC are 210 years to Alexander the Great in 323 BC.
Darius I reigned not from 522 BC, but 13 years more recent from 509 BC. Cambyses II reigned 8 years from 517 BC to 509 BC. Cyrus the Great reigned 9 years in Babylon from 527 BC to 518 BC.
Cyrus reigned from Babylon, not from 539 BC, but 13 years more recent, from 525 BC. From 525 BC to the first Hanukkah in 164 BC = 36 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC, are 360 years.
From Purim of Esther, February 27, 464 BC are 300 years to Hanukkah in 164 BC.
"In his 1st year, which was kwei-ch'ow (50th of cycle 60 = 367 BC), Ch'ing walled Hing-k'ew."
The Chinese Classics. p.171.
There may have been a sun miracle when Cyrus became emperor of Babylon, and there definitely was a sun miracle 360 years later on Hanukkah.
Likewise 360 years from 367 BC to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Again, from 367 BC are 400 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
"His, King King, 20th year, from 543 BC = 524 BC = 36 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC, was the 1st year of duke K'ing of tsin."
The Chinese Classics. p.164.
The Chinese, the Babylonians, the Egyptian and Armenian sorhis, all had cycles of 60, where we get 360°.
Cyrus means sun, and Alexander also was named Ra after the sun god in Egypt. The people believed the heavens were controled by the gods. In that God moved the sun many times, they were right.
"In his (King Yin) first year, which was ting-we (44th of cycle 60 = 313 BC)..
"In his 2nd year (312 BC), in the country of Ts'e, the ground of where they measured the lenght of the the sun's shadow lengthened by more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit"
The Chinese Classics, p.175.
In China in 313 BC - 312 BC = the year Alexander the Great died = the new moon, June 9, 312 BC = 11 years more recent, and not the new moon, June 11, 323 BC.
From the Egyptian sothis 1281 BC to this jubile in 312 BC are 969 years, like the 969 years of Methuselah.
Cyrus let the Jews return, not in 536 BC but 13 years more recent in 523 BC = two more years to 521 BC and 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Darius I reigned 13 years more recent, not from 522 BC but from 509 BC = his second year when the temple building and foundation resumed in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth.
To be more exact, Darius I reigned to his 32nd year from July 509 BC to October 478 BC / 477 BC.
Ctesias, who served in the Persian court of Artexerxes Mnemon, 404 BC - 359 BC, 17 years and thoroughly researched the Persian Archives stated Darius reigned 31 years. Herodotus stated Darius reigned 36 years.
Thus Ctesias is right and Darius I reigned into his 32nd year from July 509 BC to October 478 BC / 477 BC.
Wikipedia: Cyrus "near the beginning of October, 539 BC Cyrus fought the battle of Opis on the Tigris..two days later on 12 October Gubarus' troops entered Babylon.."
In the Gregorian calendar year zero is 1 BC. Thus, 539 BC is 540 BC. 539 / 128 = 4. Thus October 12 is October 8 in our Gregorian calendar, two days earlier is the new moon, October 5, 540 BC.
Jesus began his ministry on October 7, 29 AD.
The change to the Gregorian calendar was in 1564 by King Charles IX in France to make new years January 1. Prior to this the spring equinox to April 1 was regarded as new years. Thus the common phrase "April Fools."
The new moon Julian, Wednesday, October 13, 527 BC is the best match = 13 years earlier = 9 more years to the death of Cyrus in 518 BC.
The death of the emperor of China, King King, was this same 518 BC. Perhaps there was an omen of the sun that was taken to remove Cyrus and King King.
Wikipedia "on the 29 October, Cyrus himself entered the city of Babylon."
29 October = Thursday, October 13, 527 BC the new moon = 9 years to the death of Cyrus in 518 BC.
Alexander the Great was 33 when he died in 312 BC means he was born in 345 BC = 38 years to 307 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Alexander's cousin Pyrrus not born in 319 BC but 13 years more recent in 307 BC = 300 years to the birth of Jesus in September 12, 7 BC.
"In his (King Yin) 6th year, there were great rains and violent winds."
The Chinese Classics. p.176.
From King Yin's first year in 313 BC, the 6th year would be 307 BC. In king Wan's dream there were strong winds when, at the setting of the sun, God moved the sun and the sun stood still on the western horizon for 12 hours. God moved the sun from Virgo to Aquarius, February 5, 1239 BC. The strong winds may have been caused by the sun standing still in the sky for 12 hours.
King Darius not from September 29, 522 BC = the 10th Hebrew day of the seventh month = Yom Kippur, but from Monday September 4, 509 BC or Tuesday, October 3, 509 BC - or Sunday September 23, 508 BC or Monday October 22, 508 BC.
The same date Yom Kippur, the 10th day of the seventh month, September 4, 509 BC one year later would be the 21st day of the seventh month, September 4, 508 BC.
These dates are for Yom Kippur in King Darius' first year. Thus, the anniversary of Darius I in his second year be the new moon September 3, 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Nevertheless, Cambyses died after two lunar eclipses May 25, 510 BC and November 18, 510 BC, making Darius I's first year from July 509 BC.
Ezra 3:6 "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
Haggai 2:10 "In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
King Darius:
"Then I prayed to Ahuramazda; Ahuramazda brought me help. On the tenth day of the month Bagayadish (29 September) I, with a few men, slew that Gaumata, the Magus, and the chief men who were his followers"
Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, the Persians, The Age of Great Kings. p.105.
There may have been a sun miracle on this day of Yom Kippur that Darius said his god brought him help.
September 29 may be the 29th day of the seventh lunar month, the end of the seventh month. The next year the same date would be the 10th day of the lunar month. Thus, the second year of Darius I would begin in September of 507 BC, perhaps the new moon September 3, 507 BC.
October 12, 508 BC was day 29 of the seventh lunar month. A year later, October 12, 507 BC was Yom Kippur, day 10 of the seventh lunar month. Sun miracles can happen on the same date one year apart.
Exodus 12:16 "And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you."
Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday, April 5, 33 AD = this first day after the Passover on Saturday. The sabbath had ended at nightfall when the three Mary's went to the tomb with spices. The sun was already rising = the sabbath ended at dark = a sun miracle. This was not a sabbath, but an holy convocation.
Back half an orbit from lunar day 29, October 12, 508 BC is lunar day 21 = the seventh day of unleavened bread of the Passover week, is April 12, 508 BC. Perhaps the sun was moved to the other side of earth April 12, 508 BC and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun for two or more years.
Josephus wrote that Joshua spoke to the people in the last two chapters of Joshua, Joshua 23 and Joshua 24, in his 20th year, 1221 BC, probably on Yom Kippur. Jesus spoke in the tenth day of the seventh month, Yom Kippur, to fulfill this 50 year jubile from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD; 25 X 50 years after 1221 BC.
Josephus wrote in the fifth year of Joshua's conquest, 1236 BC, (a solar eclipse May 26, 1236 BC in China may be the omen to remove emperor Wending/Wanting) and in the 25th year, 1216 BC. Then Joshua may have been born in 1326 BC, and be 45 at the Exodus in 1281 BC, and be 85 at the crossing of the Jordan.
Nevertheless, the twentieth year may have been in 1221 BC and his death in 1216 BC.
From Joseph's first year as governor over Egypt April 1, 2315 BC to the death of his descendant Joshua in 1216 BC are 1100 years.
Joshua 14:7 "Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart."
Joshua 14:10 "And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old."
Emperor Wending died in 1236 BC = this fifth year from Joshua's long day, when Caleb was 85 years old.
Thus, there could have been a sun miracle in this 1236 BC that was taken as an omen to remove emperor Wending, that was to give Othniel more daylight to win the battle that day.
Habakkuk 3:7 "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble."
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
Judges 3:7 "And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
3:8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
3:9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
3:10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
3:11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
From the sun miracle of Joshua's long day the land had rest forty years.
Emperor Wending's first year at the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC. Phoenixes appeared on mount K'e in his 12th year = king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC. Wending died three years later at the end of his 15th year in 1236 BC.
In years having a solar eclipse during earth's reverse orbit it would be hard to make the moon to pass infront of the sun as it would in earth's normal orbit. Nevertheless, skillfully moving the moon infront of the sun would do it. Likewise a lunar eclipse in earth's reverse orbit, again skillfully moving the moon behind earth's shadow would do it.
Thus, the solar eclipse that should happen when earth was in a reverse orbit of the sun may be replicated. Also, the lunar eclipse that should happen when earth was in a reverse orbit of the sun may be replicated.
King Wan may have taken the omen of the sun standing still in the west as an omen to become emperor. This February 5, 1239 BC describes king Wan staying up all night in his night clothes, clothed with the sun and the moon = the sun and moon stayed visible. Then this night may not have been a battle.
Joshua 15:16 "And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
Caleb took Kirjathsepher in the fifth year from Joshua's long day from 1241 BC = 1236 BC = the year emperor Wanting/Wending died in China in his 15th year from 1250 BC.
15 years from this fifth year; 1241 BC - 5 - 15 = 1222 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Joshua died in the 25th year from Joshua's long day according to Josephus. Perhaps Joshua spoke these words in Joshua 23 and Joshua 24, 20 years after the fifth year = 1215 BC.
According to the Ancient Book of Jubilees, Joshua was 82 on Joshua's long day - he made the proclamation of Joshua 24 when he was 108 in 1215 BC and died when he was 110 in 1213 BC.
Possibly, Joshua spoke at Shechem in the 20th year from Joshua's long day = 1222 BC = 50 year jubiles to September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD = Joshua spoke in Joshua 23 and Joshua 24 = Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Here you can see the two characters for the phoenix. The sun phoenix and the moon phoenix. The male phoenix of the sun yang, and the female phoenix of the moon yin. Yin and Yang = light and darkness.
Phoenixes means the sun phoenix at sunset in the west and the moon phoenix above at the six day moon.
You can see the characters for 12th year, and the fifth character phoenixes. Note phoenixes are plural, both sun and moon phoenixes because this was the six day moon = the moon above and the sun setting = both moon and sun stay there for 12 hours.
"In his, King Wanting, 12th year, (February 5, 1239 BC), phoenixes collected on mount K'e." "Note. This was the first year of king Wan of Chow."
The first year of king Wan. His 35th year was on the lunar eclipse on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC = 1239 BC - 34 years = 35th year = the current year = September 23, 1205 BC = king Wan's first year February 5, 1239 BC.
The lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC:
"In his 15th year, the king (Wanting/Wending) died."
The Chinese Classics. p.138.
You can also see the 13th year. Nevertheless, back from emperor Wu in 1174 BC 52 years for emperor Te-sin, back 9 years for emperor Te-Yih = 1236 BC.
King Wanting's 15th year, and his death, from 1250 BC = 1236 BC. Joshua's fifth year from 1241 BC = 1236 BC.
Josephus wrote: "19. The fifth year was now past, and there was not one of the Canaanites remained any longer, excepting some that had retired to places of great strength. So Joshua removed his camp to the mountainous country, and placed the tabernacle in the city of Shiloh,"
"So Joshua after that disolved this great assembly of the people, and sent them to their own inheritances, while he himself lived in Shechem. But in the twentieth year after this, when he was very old, he sent for those of the greatest dignity in the several cities, with those in authority, and the senate, and as many of the common people as could be present;
and when they all were come, he put them in mind of all the benefits God had bestowed on them, which could not but be a great many, since from a low estate they were advanced to so great a degree of glory and plenty; and exhorted them to take notice of the intentions of God, which had been so gracious towards them; and told them that the Diety would continue their friend by nothing else but their piety; and that it was proper for him, now that he was about to depart out of his life, to leave such an admonition to them; and he desired that they would keep in memory this his exhortation to them.
29. So Joshua, when he had thus discoursed to them, died, having lived one hundred and ten years; forty of which he lived with Moses, in order to learn what might be for his advantage afterwards. He also became their commander after his death for twenty-five years."
Joshua died 25 years after Moses died in 1242 BC - 1218 BC / 1217 BC. From 1218 BC are 25 X 50 year jubiles from 1218 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Josephus
There was to be a jubile in the 15th year from Joshua's long day, 1241 BC - 15 = 1226 BC. Te-sin became emperor of China in 1226 BC, possibly on the omen of a sun miracle, = the 15th year from Joshua's long day.
20 years after 1241 BC = 1221 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur. Thus, a jubile in Joshua's 20th year = the 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
25 years from 1241 BC = 1216 BC = Joshua's death at 110 years.
From 1241 BC - 25 years to Joshua's death in 1216 BC - 18 years to 1198 BC = 40 years rest = the year the High Priest Eli died at 98 years old.
Eli would be 18, under 20, at the Exodus in 1281 BC. He would be 58 at Joshua's long day. He would be 98, 40 years later, in 1200 BC:
1 Samuel 4:15 "Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
4:16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
4:17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
Numbers 14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me."
Judges 3:11 "And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
Joshua 24:1 "And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
24:3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
24:4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
24:5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
24:6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
24:7 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
24:8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
24:9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
24:10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
24:11 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
24:13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD."
Leviticus 16:29 "And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:"
Leviticus 25:8 "And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land."
Leviticus 23:27 "Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
"convocation" is a holy reading = Jesus reading from Isaiah 61 on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.
Exodus 30:10 "And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD."
Isaiah 61:1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
Luke 3:21 "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. "
Luke 4:16 "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,"
"where he had been brought up" the greek word for brought up is a parallel to the worm of the phoenix being reborn and nurtured.
Isaiah 41:14 "Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."
Psalm 22:6 "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people."
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?"
The people in the synogogue of Nazareth knew the Messiah was to fulfill this prophesy reading from Isaiah 61 on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. Thus, the question "Is not this Joseph's son?" because the Messiah was the Son of God.
Isaiah 61:2 "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD"
Luke 4:19 "To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
The acceptable year = the 50 year jubile beginning with the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.
Mark 15:37 "And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom."
Moses was to have gone up to Mount Sinai for 40 days from the first of Elul to the tenth of Tishrei = Yom Kippur.
Exodus 34:28 "And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments."
Luke 4:2 "Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered."
Hebrews 9:3 "And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;"
Hebrews 9:7 "But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"
Hebrews 9:24 "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
Thus, yes, another jubile began after the conquest of Palestine by Joshua. Only, not from the 14th year, but from the 21st year of conquest in 1221 BC = 50 year jubiles to this September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD..
Then Joshua must also read the law in the seventh month, from the new moon July 20, 1241 BC, Yom Kippur, August 1, 1241 BC, the feast of tabernacles - from August 3, to August 10, 1241 BC. And Joshua's long day on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Thus, Israel would be in booths outside for seven days when the call came for them to come up and help the Gibeonites, and Israel go up all night to the battle at the break of day.
Israel would need to go up from Gilgal to Bethel and then to Gibeon.
More accurately, if the sun stood still the day the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, then two years later could match king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC. And half an orbit later match Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Dating king Wan's dream to February 5, 1239 BC seems to be the best fixed date because this is exactly the first year to the 35th year at the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC.
The Chinese count ages, not years past but the current year. Thus, not 35 years to 1205 BC, but the 35th year, from 1239 BC to 1205 BC.
Likewise, Jesus began his ministry just as he turned 35 years old.
Then the solar eclipse in China March 4, 1250 BC be Wending's first year and be the omen for a new emperor, the phoenixes = sun standing still at sunset in China in his 12th year = king Wan's dream and first year. And counting from 1239 BC his 35th year the lunar eclipse, day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC.
The date Bingzi, 13 of cycle 60, was an important epoch. Thus, this day 13, September 23, 1205 BC for king Wan's imprisonment, and the planetary conjunction in the first year of king Wan on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC point to the Epochs of king Wan.
September 23, 1205 BC was a Friday, like Friday the 13th!
King Wan's first year must be either February/March 1240 BC or February/March 1239 BC because king Wan's 35th year was at the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC.
Back 38 years from 1205 BC is 1243 BC back 38 years is the Exodus in 1281 BC.
August 10, 1243 BC would be day 10. Two years later would be Joshua's long day. August 10, 1243 BC was a new moon. There can only be a solar eclipse on a new moon.
"The sun was eclipsed on day guiyou [10]:(Charge:) The Sun was eclipsed in the evening; we should report it to [ancestor] Shang Jia."
Heji, 33695
See the new moon on August 10, 1243 BC:
"In his 11th year, ke-leih smote the hords of E-t'oo, and having taken their three great cheifs, came with them to court to report his victory. The King put Ke-leih to death."
The Chinese Classics, p.138.
Thus, the sun standing still on Israel at noon = the sun standing still at sunset on China on Joshua's long day. The sun standing still at sunset on king Wan = the sun standing still at noon on Israel again. The sun must move back and forth every six months. By the time of king Wan's dream China may have observed a long sunset in the west at least twice and finally took notice to record the event. Five possible dates: February 4, 1241 BC, August 10, 1241 BC, February 4, 1240 BC, August 10, 1240 BC, February 5, 1239 BC.
This sixth day of the moon in China, February 5, 1239 BC would mean a 12th month of Adar must be added, or this February 5, 1239 BC would be in the second Hebrew lunar month.
Nevertheless, in China the first month of spring is counted from 45 days before the spring equinox. Back one day every 128 years Julian, 1239 BC = 10 days = from March 20 = the equinox March 30, 1239 BC Gregorian + 45 days = February 13, 1239 BC; the Chinese spring lunar month beginning February 1, 1239 BC = this February 5, 1239 BC Julian = the first month of spring.
Then three years before king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC may be a sun miracle at Miriam, Moses' sister's death, February 5, 1242 BC, and from the crossing of the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC two more years to February 5, 1239 BC = king Wan's dream.
Miriam died on the new moon, in the first month, February 5, 1242 BC, Israel crossed the Jordan river one year later, February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC = the moon in Ajalon in the west, king Wan's dream must be February 5, 1239 BC.
Joshua's long day, the battle of Merom and king Wan's dream all appear that God made the sun stand still at noon in Israel = at sunset in China. Thus, finally at king Wan's dream the sun miracle of a long sunset was recorded.
Romans 5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come."
From the death of Adam in 4442 BC to the death of Moses in 1242 BC are 3200 years. From the death of Adam to the law of Moses are 3161 years.
If king Wan's dream was the first sun movement, then the moon on Joshua's long day would be on the last quarter moon, and to the west of the noon day sun, in the valley of Ajalan.
However, Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan, on both the 49 year and 50 year jubile, February 4, 1241 BC, two years before king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Thus, the first sun movement may be the crossing of the river Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = Joshua's long day, the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC, and the sun move back, the fifth day of the first month, February 5, 1239 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
In this model the sun must move back at the half orbit point.
The last quarter moon on the seventh day in the first month when the walls fell down at Jericho, February 17, 1241 BC, half an orbit later is August 24, 1241 BC on the first quarter moon. And half an orbit later = one year after the walls fell down on Jericho, is the first quarter moon, February 16, 1240 BC.
However, king Wans' dream must be February 5, 1239 BC; that also means's Joshua's long day must be one and a half orbits earlier, August 10, 1241 BC.
This is significant because the moon was in the valley of Ajalon. Not just in Ajalon but the valley of Ajalon. Half an orbit back is Israel's crossing of the Jordan river, February 4, 1241 BC. This may match Gideon's battle in Judges 6, 7, 8. Joshua was supposed to hike up to Bethel and speak the blessings and cursings from Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal the same day they crossed the river Jordan Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = one very long day!
You will read here a lot of Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC as well. Either way the model of sun miracles works the same way.
If king Wan's dream was in 1240 BC it would be February 15, 1240 BC but if one year later king Wan's dream would be February 5, 1239 BC.
The moon on Joshua's long day may be the first quarter moon or the last quarter moon for the moon to be visible and on the horizon at noon.
Nevertheless, because king Wan's dream must be February 5, 1239 BC, one and a half orbits earlier has to be Joshua's long day, the last quarter moon = the 21st lunar day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC.
King Wan's dream must be February 5, 1239 BC. Then Joshua's long day in the summer of 1241 BC be the last quarter moon, August 10, 1241 BC.
The sun standing still at noon and the moon standing still on the eastern horizon above Ajalon in Dan beside Galilee as described by Josephus.
Most likely the moon was to the west of the noon day sun on Joshua's long day. That the valley of Ajalon was recorded points to the going down of Bethoron into the Ajalon valley to the west. A sun miracle at the crossing of the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC points to a sun miracle half an orbit later, August 10, 1241 BC at the 21st day of the lunar month = the moon on the western horizon with the sun at the noon position.
Then Josephus may be mistaken when he stated the Ajalon of Joshua's long day was a town to the north:
The sun rising in the west and stopping at noon for Joshua, the last quarter moon then rising in the west and stopping over the Ajalon valley = the moon to the west of the noon sun not the east of the noon sun.
Or a normal day, and the moon setting in the west, the sun at noon, when Joshua made his request to God.
Josephus wrote there were records of sun miracles kept in the Temple: "That the day was lengthened at this time, and was longer than ordinary, is expressed in the books laid up in the temple."
The works of Flavius Josephus, Volume 1, p.285
Josephus wrote: "When Joshua spake, seemed to him and those with him, (the sun) to be over Gibeon, and the moon to be over the valley of Ajalon."
"This valley in all likely hood, took its name from some adjacent town, but then, as there are three Ajalon mentioned in Scripture, one in the tribe of Ephraim - 1 Chronicles 6:69, another in Zabulon - Judges 12:12, and another in Dan - Joshua 19:42, it is reasonable to think that the place here spoken of was in Dan, the most remote province in Gibeon; for we must suppose these two places were at some considerable distance, otherwise Joshua could not see the sun and moon both appear at the same time, as it were probable they both were in his eye when he uttered those words."
"And now listen to me and I will make known to you the awesome devices of God and I shall recount to you his mighty wonders, which are hidden from mortal man during the numbered days that he lives, all in the depth of hq sealed the tablets of the sun commanded by the agency of Moses."
The Damascas Document
In summer the moon is low and the sun is high. Meaning the sun above on Joshua's long day, and the moon to the southwest over the valley of Ajalon = over the Mediterannean Sea.
The context is of the moon setting in the west at noon = the urgency before the moon set in the west. And also then moon in the valley of Ajalon, right below Gibeon.
Judges 1:35 "But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries."
There are ten references to Ajalon in the Bible, at least three different places:
Judges 12:12 "And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun."
Nazareth where Jesus grew up would be in Zebulun.
Joshua 19:42 "And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,
19:43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,"
Joshua 21:24 "Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities."
1 Samuel 14:31 "And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint."
Perhaps a sun miracle on day 9 of cycle 60, Thursday, September 4, 1122 BC.
Yom Kippur would be September 2, 1122 BC or a day or two later, September 4, 1122 BC.
From September 3, 1122 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking, on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, from Isaiah 61: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me;"
The year would begin on Yom Kippur the tenth day of the seventh month on a jubile year instead of Rosh Hashanah the first day of the seventh month. Counting to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in this 1122 BC would be a 50 year jubile.
Saul must have kept the seventh year fallow land from 1124 BC 40 years to 1084 BC. The counting of 490 years the children of Israel not keeping the fallow land on the seventh year to the captivity September 7, 591 BC is from 1081 BC. The 70 years of captivity to 521 BC and 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61. Thus, September 4, 1122 BC was a 50 year jubile.
1 Samuel 14:18 "And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel."
Thus, Saul enquired of the ark on Yom Kippur when the High Priest may go into the Holiest of Holies where the ark was. Thus, also this was a 24 hour fast that day.
Yom Kippur may be Sunday, September 1, 1084 BC or Tuesday, October 1, 1084 BC.
Thus, Saul in battle on Yom Kippur, September 1, 1084 BC when he died, and Saul in battle on Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC in battle after he reigned two years.
From September 4, 1122 BC to September 1, 1084 BC = 38 years, the 38.5 years of Jesus' life.
Half an orbit after this October 1, 1084 BC, when the sun may return, is on the full moon, Sunday, March 2, 1083 BC the Passover.
Then, one year later the sun may return on the same date, on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, on the 22nd day of the 7th month, October 1, 1083 BC.
Here you can read the whole account:
1 Samuel 14:29 "Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
14:30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
14:31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
14:32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
14:33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
14:34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
14:35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
14:37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
14:38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
14:39 For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.
14:40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
14:41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
14:42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
14:43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
14:44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
14:45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not. "
Luke 21:18 "But there shall not an hair of your head perish."
1 Samuel 14:37 "And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day."
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron,.."
Thus, like Joshua Saul may have asked for a longer day to complete the victory. And the sun miracle on this day was recorded in China.
"In his (King K'ang) 12th year, 1124 BC, in the summer, in the sixth month, in the day jin-shin (9th of cycle 60), the king went to Fung, and gave his Charge to the duke of Peih. In the autumn the duke E of Maou died."
The Chinese Classics, the Bamboo Annals.
King K'ang 11th of cycle 60 years 1006 BC + 120 years = 1126 BC. There is a missing 5 years. King K'ang's first year should be 1133 BC. This missing 5 years is corrected by the death of King Muh in his 59th year = year 51 of cycle 60 in 906 BC because his first year is written 56 year of cycle 60, in 961 BC.
But King Muh reigned 59 years, not 54 years = the missing 5 years.
King Muh's first year should be 51 of cycle 60, in 966 BC.
Thus, the confusion simply this year 51 of cycle 60. King Muh both died in year 51 of cycle 60 and reigned from year 51 of cycle 60,
The 59 years of King Muh from year 51 of cycle 60 from 965 BC to year 51 of cycle 60 in 906 BC.
King Ching from 1168 BC 37 years = 1132 BC = the 12th year in 1122 BC. The second year of King Saul from 1124 BC = 1122 BC two years later to the day = The sixth month, the 9th of cycle, was September 4, 1122 BC = Yom Kippur.
This September 4, 1122 BC on day 9 of cycle 60 was also on lunar day 9.
King Ching from 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC, 37 year reign = Jesus' life of 38 years to April 3, 33 AD.
Likewise, sun miracles, the first day of the seventh month Rosh Hanna, September 4, 1123 BC and the 20th day of the seventh month, the last day of the feast of tabernacles, Saturday, September 4, 1124 BC.
September 4, 1122 BC is day 9 of cycle 60 and day 10 of the seventh lunar month = Yom Kippur.
These three dates could begin the first, second and third year of King Saul. These three dates may mark sun miracles, one and two years apart.
1 Samuel 10:8 "And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do."
1 Samuel 11:3 "And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee."
1 Samuel 11:11 "And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together."
September 4, 1124 BC was the seventh day of the feast of tabernacles. Thus, "give us seven days"
Likewise, this fast of Saul may be Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month in 1084 BC:
1 Samuel 28:20 "Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night."
The enemies of Israel would feel the fast at Yom Kippur was a good time to attack.
1 Chronicles 6:68 "And Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs,
6:69 And Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs:"
1 Chronicles 8:13 "Beriah also, and Shema, who were heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove away the inhabitants of Gath:"
2 Chronicles 11:10 "And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities."
Thus, the six day moon be over Ajoulon in Galilee in the east when Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still at noon. Thus, the moon was not the last quarter moon in the west in the Ajalon valley, but was the six day moon, first quarter moon, over Ajalon in Dan beside Galilee towards the east.
However, counting from Joshua crossing the Jordan Sunday in the 10th day of the first month, half an orbit later is Saturday, the 21st day of the seventh month = Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, with the last quarter moon in the west over the Ajalon valley with the sun at noon standing still. Then king Wan's dream be February 5, 1239 BC, his lunar eclipse day 13 of cycle 60 in his 35th year, September 23, 1205 BC.
Joshua built an altar at mount Ebal immediately after crossing the river Jordan, before Joshua 5:1 in the older Dead Sea Scrolls, 4QJosha. Because the feast of tabernacles was from the 15th day of the seventh month to the 22nd day = August 3 - August 10, 1241 BC. The sun must return August 10, 1241 BC if the sun moved February 4, 1241 BC.
Deuteronomy 27:2 "And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:
27:3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee."
Then for Joshua to cross the river Jordan, and hike up to Mount Ebal, and to read the commandments, all in the same day, would require a very long day.
Joshua was at Gilgal before the Gibeonites asked his help. August 10, 1241 BC would be the last day of the feast of tabernacles.
Then, the children of Israel would be full and ready to fight a battle for 24 more hours on Joshua's long day.
If Joshua's long day was August 10, 1241 BC it would be on the last day of the seven day feast. If Joshua had already spoken from mount Ebal before capturing Jericho, then Joshua may have kept the feast of tabernacles at Gilgal when he was called on for help from the Gibeonites.
Numbers 20:1 "Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there."
God may have moved the sun to the other side of earth at the death of Miriam the first day of the first month, February 4, 1242 BC. Then one year later there be a long day for Gideon to chase the Midianites across the dry Jordan river bed.
Or, Gideon chased the Midianites in daylight = the sun rise at midnight, or by twilight, to the river Jordan. Or Gideon crossed the river Jordan the same day Israel crossed the river Jordan to the south, and Gideon had the still water piled up near Jericho and the Midianites had the torrent of the full flood of the river Jordan further upstream, and were caught at the fjords of Jordan.
Judges 7:22 "And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
7:23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
7:25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
8:4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them."
John 1:27 "He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing."
Bethbarah = Bethabara.
Perhaps then there is a connection to John the Baptist baptizing in the Jordan at Bethabara and Israel taking the waters of Bethbarah.
"and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath" = Zaretan:
Joshua 3:16 "That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."
"before the waters unto Bethbarah" = the Midianites were caught at the torrential flood of Jordan upstream of the backed up water from the water dam at Jericho.
Joshua 8:30 "Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,"
Leviticus 23:24 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation."
Then in this eighth chapter of Joshua, Joshua must have read the law of Moses in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, the sabbath, Saturday, July 20, 1241 BC or the tenth day or the fifteenth day, the sabbath, Saturday, August 3, 1241 BC or between the fifteenth and 22nd day, the sabbath, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. The last day of the feast ot tabernacles August 10, 1241 BC could be Joshua's long day.
Joshua must have kept the feast of booths while in Gilgal. Then the Gibeonites may have made their urgent request for help Friday, August 9, 1241 BC and Joshua hasted to go up that Friday night before Joshua's long day.
Thus, the timeline to Joshua's long day may be very tight.
Or Joshua hiked up to Mount Ebal the same day they crossed the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC. Joshua 8:30 appears on that day, February 4, 1241 BC in Joshua 4 before Joshua 5 in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Deuteronomy 27:4 "Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister."
Judges 6:11 "And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites."
Judges 7:13 "And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along."
The feast of unleavened bread, the Passover, was not celebrated until the Barley was ripe. Thus, this Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC was four days before the Passover Thursday, February 8, 1241 was the Passover. This means the Barley was ripe.
Wheat was threshed in July. Barley was harvested in March. In the Jordan valley crops ripen earlier than elsewhere. Then Gideon may have threshed barley in February. Thus, Gideon's battle: Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, or Tuesday, February 4, 1240 BC or Sunday, August 10, 1240 BC, or Thursday, February 5, 1239 BC.
Joshua 2:6 "But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof."
Flax was harvested in Adar = February. Also, at Jericho there is no frost all year. And also crops at Jericho ripen two weeks earlier than elsewhere in Israel.
Gideon's battle could be either February 4, 1241 BC or in August 10, 1241 BC.
The sun may move 180° back standing still in the sky for 12 hours while Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan on dry ground. After sunset, in the east or west, there be a sudden sunrise and the sun moved to the other side of earth again, and earth flow into a reverse orbit.
Most likely the sun stood still in the sky for 12 hours while the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan for a long day for all of the people to cross, and also to hear all of the Law. Gideon's battle may be this same day, February 4, 1241 BC. Then the sun would be moved to the other side of earth being moved 180° in the 12 hours standing still in the sky.
Then earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, and the sun move back again on king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
Then, half an orbit later, the 21st day of the seventh month, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC be Joshua's long day.
The 21st day of the seventh month would be this August 10, 1241 BC the last day of the feast of tabernacles.
Leviticus 23:36 "Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."
John 7:8 "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come."
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
The civil year begins in the seventh month. Thus, the civil year is Israel's nationhood. Joshua's long day marked Israel's conquest and nationhood, the 21st day of the seventh month.
Then three years after the death of Miriam the sun move back and finally earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun, February 5, 1239 BC on king Wan's first year, on the sun miracle of king Wan's dream.
Haggai 1:1 "In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
1:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built."
July 28, 509 BC "the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month":
Or, Sunday, August 4, 507 BC was the first day, both the first day of the week and the first day of the sixth month.
Darius' first year be July, 510 BC to October 478 BC.
Haggai 1:13 "Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king."
August 20, 509 BC "the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius"
Or, the 24th of the sixth month be Tuesday, August 27, 507 BC.
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2:2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?"
September 15, 509 BC "the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month"
Or, Tuesday, September 24, 507 BC be the 21st day of the seventh month. The mention of the name Joshua may be connected to the Joshua of Joshua's long day on the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC.
Leviticus 23:36 "Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."
Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC was the 21st day of the seventh month when Joshua must have asked God to make the sun stand still in the sky. Even this priest had the name of Joshua too.
Zechariah 1:1 "In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
The first day of the eighth month should be Wednesday, October 2, 507 BC.
Haggai 2:18 "Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it."
November 16, 509 BC "the four and twentieth day of the ninth month"
Or, Sunday, November 24, 507 BC be the 24th day of the ninth month.
Zechariah 1:7 "Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
January 14, 508 BC "the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius"
Or, January 22, 506 BC be the 24th day of the eleventh month.
From this second year of Darius, 507 BC, in the seventh month is 500 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC in the seventh month, possibly the 17th day September 12, 7 BC.
The solar eclipse of February 10, 504 BC was the third day of the month of Adar, when the second temple was complete, and thus the third day of a lunar month cannot be a solar eclipse but a sun miracle.
Ezra 6:15 "And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
February 10, 504 BC "the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius"
"A great God is Ahuramazda, who created earth, who created the yonder sky, who created man, who created happiness for man, who made Darius King, one king of many, one lord of many."
'The tomb inscription of Darius I at Naqsh-i-Rustam.
Proverbs 3:19 "The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew."
Isaiah 42:5 "Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:"
Isaiah 45:18 "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else."
Thus, God created the universe and moved the sun around the earth.
From Sunday, the 10th day of the first month, possibly February 4, 1241 BC to make a long day for the children of Israel to cross the Jordan on dry ground - and possible dry ground for Gideon, then 188 days to Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, again February 4, 1240 BC, and the sun move back finally February 5, 1239 BC for king Wan's sixth day; would make the moon over the valley of Ajalon when the sun was at noon. A possibility.
A long day Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC; that both was the crossing of the Jordan by the children of Israel and Gideon's battle. Two years later the sun would move back February 5, 1239 BC. Then, king Wan's eclipse would be in his 35th year, not after 35 years. A solar eclipse in March 4, 1250 BC may be the omen for King Wending to be emperor in China = king Wan's dream in his 12th year from 1250 BC is this same 1239 BC.
The Chinese count the current year. Thus, from the solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC = emperor Wending's first year, the phoenixes on Mount K'e and king Wan's dream = a 12 hour sunset, in this 12th year Feburary 5, 1239 BC. Likewise, king Wan's 35th year from this first year of king Wan, February 5, 1239 BC = the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC on day 13 of cycle 60, the current year.
Joshua's long day probably began as a normal day, the sun now at noon in the heat of the battle and the last quarter moon setting in the west. And Joshua chose the right day, half an orbit from the crossing of the river Jordan in February 4, 1241 BC.
Or, this was a normal orbit as well and God answered Joshua's prayer. Then God move the sun to the other side of the earth on Joshua's long day and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then Joshua's long day be either 12 hours longer or 36 hours longer than normal. Then one and a half orbits later, the sun returned on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then, one and a half orbits later the sun moved on king Wan's dream. Then there should be a sun miracle two orbits after Joshua's long day and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The timing was important because if Joshua did not soon ask God to stop the setting moon in the west the moon would soon disappear below the western horizon. Together with the noon day sun = the sun at its brightest.
There must be 48 hours of longer days in a reverse orbit. From Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC to king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC there must be 72 hours of long days. And counting from the crossing of the Jordan, February 4, 1239 BC, there must be 96 hours of longer days. How much more likely Joshua's long day probably be 24 hours longer than 12 hours longer.
Both the sun and moon stood still at sunset in China for king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC. The first quarter moon directly above and the sun just setting in the west on China, February 5, 1239 BC for 12 hours, and the sun and moon stood still on Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC for 24 hours.
If on Joshua's long day earth was in a reverse orbit and Joshua's long day was 12 hours longer not 24 hours longer, then after Joshua's long day, the same day in Israel, the sun move another 180° east or west and earth continue in the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then perhaps the sun set in the west on Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC and the next day Sunday August 11, 1241 BC possibly the sun suddenly rise in the east.
10:27 "And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
"When the hand of God is raised against the whole horde of Belial. At this instant the priests shall blow the memorial trumpets and all the battle lines shall combine against them and shall divide up against all the camps of the Kittim to eliminate them. And when the sun travels toward its setting on this day, the High Priest will take up position, likewise the priests and levites who are with him, and the chiefs of the men of the rule. And there they shall bless the God of Israel. They shall begin speaking and say: Blessed be your name, God of gods, for you have made your people great in order to work wonders. From of old you have kept for us your covenant. You have openned for us many times the gates of Salvation."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 1QWar Scroll. Col. XVIII. 6
And on Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC = the half orbit point = earth continuing in the reverse orbit of the sun - from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC or from Saturday, February 4, 1242 BC, that day the moon set in the west, then the sun set in the west. Meaning the sun must circle the earth 360° in 24 hours - staying at the noon position for 24 hours, then the sun set in the west. Then one and a half orbits later the sun move back on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
NASA scientists should discover this reverse orbit within hours of reading the first chapters in the Chinese Classics printed in 1960. Reprinted in 1935 and 1949.
King Wan recorded a lunar eclipse, day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC in his 35th year.
"35th year of king Wen of Zhou, 1st month, day bingzi 13, during worship of the full moon the king announced, 'The many...eclipses are untimely, you should begin planning for the succession.'"
Yi Zhou shu. Xiao kai jie. ch.17
This is the full version in Chinese:
You can see the three lines, then the character for ten, another character, then the character for five, then the character for first, month, day Bing Tze.
The important part, is it after 35 years or is it the 35th year?
Here you see the character for sun and moon together twice, a few characters then the sun, then the sun and moon together again:
Here you can see a total solar eclipse in China February 23, 1241 BC, together with the sun miracle in king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC = king Wan's first year, and the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC, king Wan's 35th year = "eclipses are untimely". Eclipses and sun miracles together.
"In his, King Wanting, 11th year, from 1250 BC, Ke-leih smote the hordes of E-t'oo, and having taken their three great chiefs, came with them to court to report his victory. The king put Ke-leih to death."
"In his 12th year, phoenixes collected on mount K'e."
Note: this was the first year of king Wan of Chow.
The Chinese Classics. p.138.
King Wan's first year on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC = the 12th year, phoenixes collected on mount K'e, means his 11th year was in 1240 BC and sun miracles, a sun miracle on the crossing of Jordan on February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day on August 10, 1241 BC, a sun miracle on the battle of Merom on February 4, 1240 BC; could be omens for the emperor to put Ke-leih to death.
Then too the total solar eclipse of the sun in China on February 23, 1241 BC be an omen as well. Although solar eclipses in a reverse orbit would be hard to replicate.
Earth already in a reverse orbit from the crossing of the river Jordan in February 4, 1241 BC means God must reproduce this total solar eclipse in China with the sun on the other side of earth and with earth orbiting in reverse.
ESA launches spacecraft that will eventually create artificial solar eclipse...with an accuracy of one millimeter. The shadow of the sun on the second spacecraft 450 feet away to study the sun's corona.
"In his 11th year, Ke-leih smote the hordes of E-t'oo, and, having taken their three great chiefs, came with him to court to report his victory. The King put Ke-leih to death."
Note: The king at first appreciated the services of Ke-leih, gave him a libation mace, with favoured spirits of the black millet, and nine ensigns of distinction as cheif of the princes; and after all that, he confined him in the house of restraint, so that Ke-leih died from the trouble, and gave occasion to the saying that Wanting killed him."
The Chinese Classics. p.138.
The 11th year from 1250 BC is 1240 BC = one year after this solar eclipse, February 23, 1241 BC, that may have been the omen to smite the hordes of E-t'oo. The sun moved on February 4, 1241 BC means earth would be in a reverse orbit a few weeks later on the solar eclipes of February 23, 1241 BC. Wanting became King on the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC. It would be very hard to produce the same solar eclipse for February 23, 1241 BC. Nevertheless, the actions of King Wanting/Wending the following year, may arise from the omen of this solar eclipse on February 23, 1241 BC in China.
Here you see three English translations with an exclamation mark ! at the end of verse 12:
The Amplified Bible:
The Modern Language Bible:
The Living Bible:
Here you see the Hebrew. Notice the exclamation mark ! at the end of verse 12:
Here you can see the Chinese version of Joshua 10:12-14. Notice the exclamation marks! Within quotations of Joshua "Sun stand still!" "Moon stand still!"
You can see the character for sun and two more characters for the word "still". Likewise, you can see the character for moon and two more characters for the word "still".
Here you can see the Russian version of Joshua 10:12-14. Likewise notice the quotation of Joshua speaking - Sun stand still over Gibeon and Moon stand still over Ajalon. 13 So the sun stood still.
Note the exclamation marks ! in Russian after Joshua's request to make the sun and moon stand still:
Note the exclamation marks ! in Russian after Joshua's request to make the sun and moon stand still, both at the end of verse 12! and at the middle of verse 13! and at end of verse 13!:
Likewise, note the exclamation mark ! in the German Bible:

Here you see the same verse in Italian. Note the exclamation marks !
Here you see the foot notes in Italian:
John Wycliffe's first English translation of the Bible in 1382 may not have any exclamation mark after Joshua 10:12, probably because before Galileo people thought the sun revolved around the earth each day.
The King James version was first printed the same year Galileo discovered, in 1611, earth rotates once every 24 hours and the sun does not rotate around the earth every 24 hours. The King James version may not have had an exclamation ! mark at Joshua 10:12.
Here you see in this February 5, 1239 BC = the first of 35 years of king Wan = king Wan's 35th year at the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC, on day Bing-Tze 13 of cycle 60. The Chinese had two new years, one in spring and one in fall. This first month in September.
Nevertheless, the first month of king Wan's dream was in spring, the first month of the lunar eclipse was in fall.
The position of the planets, Jupiter and Saturn in the west at sunset, by the Pleiades, and the sun in Pisces. Jupiter and Saturn would be in Scorpius 180° away and the sun in Virgo also 180° away, 12 hours previous, just as was described in king Wan's dream in king Wan's first year.
Just one year later, in September of 1238 BC, Jupiter and Saturn would be in conjunction. Jupiter and Saturn were in conjuction at Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Jupiter travelling eastward, as do the outer planets, rising higher above the setting sun. Jupiter was a little above the sun at sunset February 16, 1240 BC.
Thus, king Wan's dream can not be February 16, 1240 BC, and also Joshua's long day cannot be August 24, 1241 BC.
Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, and one and a half orbits later, king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, and Jupiter one sign further up = visible above the setting sun - it takes Jupiter 12 years to orbit the sun, one sign of 12 signes more above the sun at sunset one year later, February 5, 1239 BC.
You can draw a line straight down from the blue earth, to the right of the yellow sun, to Jupiter and Saturn above the sun. Thus, Jupiter and Saturn were visible in Fang/Scorpius above the setting sun in Virgo, February 5, 1239 BC.
Note this straight line from earth points west to the sunset.
The position of the planets on this same date, February 5, 1239 BC:
The 35th year from February 5, 1239 BC the sixth day of the first month of spring, the 35th year is this September 23, 1205 BC. The sun must have stood still at the sunset position in China, the noon position in Israel, for 12 hours, the sun moving 180° back and earth flowing out of the reverse orbit, both when king Wan fought with emperor Wending in Wending's 12th year from the solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC = February 5, 1239 BC. Thus king Wan lightened the western regions and thus king Wan was clothed in the sun and the moon = his night clothes.
A lunar eclipse is only on day 15, not the unlucky number 13. Day 13 was day 13 of cycle 60, not the lunar day.
The sun at the sunset position on China for 12 hours = the sun at the noon position on Israel for 12 hours = Joshua's battle of Merom; possibly the two lakes by mount Carmel or Lake Hula, in Joshua 11 = Hazor burned, Hazor was the capitol and just north of the sea of Galilee by Lake Hula. This battle matches Deborah and Barak in Judges 4 and 5, six months after Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC on February 5, 1240 BC.
"a majority of scholars agree that the highlands of Canaan show a substantial population increase in the Iron Age I, between 1200 BC and 1000 BC - the time span of the book of Judges. Through excavations, archaeologist Lawernce Stager indentified a population increase from 27 to 211 sites, almost an eightfold increase."
National Geographic, Atlas of the Bible, The Song of Deborah, p.51.
Thus, the increase in Israelites from Joshua to those Israelites already in the land.
Thus, the time span of victory from Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
Deuteronomy 11:29 "And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
Israelites may have already been in the land before the Merneptah Stele in Merneptah's 5th year, of 1285 BC. Pharaoh Merneptah may have destroyed the Israelites in southern Israel and not in northern Israel = Israelites already in the land.
In the Valediction of Moses, these verses of the blessings and cursings continue from this Deuteronomy 11 to Deuternomy 27.
Acts 13:18 "And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
13:20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years."
Thus, there was a substantial population increase when Joshua divided the land.
Joshua 18:2 "And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
18:3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
18:4 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
18:5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God."
Judges from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC are 50 years to Samuel in 1191 BC, not 450 years. From Joshua's conquest to King Saul in 1124 BC is 127 years.
Acts 13:20 "And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet."
Judges 3:30 "So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years."
The Septuagint:
Judges 3:30b "And the land had rest eighty years."
Forty years from 1241 BC to 1201 BC, and 80 years from 1201 BC to 1121 BC, about the same 1122 BC Saul renewd the kingdom after two years.
King Saul reigned 40 years from 1124 BC to 1084 BC, David reigned forty years to 1044 BC (1046 BC was the 49 year jubile), Solomon reigned 40 years to 1004 BC.
Thus, David reigned the 39 years of Jesus life, from 1084 BC to 1045 BC. Likewise from 1045 BC to 1007 BC is the 39 years of Jesus' life, 1000 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Both King David and King Manasseh died in a year ending 45 BC = 38 years backwards to a year ending 7 BC = even 100's to Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC. David in 1045 BC and Manasseh in 645 BC. From 1045 BC are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
1 Kings 6:1 "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
The second month may begin this April 1, 1041 BC = the spring equinox. The Hebrew new moon April 3 = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Likewise, not 480 years, but 240 years from the Exodus in 1281 BC, to the fourth year of Solomon, 1041 BC.
Likewise, the first month, the Passover, Friday March 30, 1281 BC. 240 years later, the Passover, Friday, March 17, 1241 BC, and the second month beginning this April 3, 1041 BC.
Solomon completed the house of God in his 11th year.
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
Seven and a half years, orbits, later is the eighth month, October 7, 1034 BC and the new moon October 8, 1034 BC. October means eight.
Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD.
If Solomon was 20 when he began to reign, he would be 31 when the temple was finished and 41, in his 20th year, when he finished his own house.
Solomon's 20th year in bulding his own house, from 1041 BC to 1022 BC = 1050 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Luke 4.
2 Chronicles 12:2 "And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,"
Likewise, Shishak king of Egypt - not in 925 BC, but 76 years further back in 1001 BC, the fifth year of Rehoboam from 1004 BC. Shishak died then that year.
Evidence of destruction 940 BC to 900 BC was not due to Shishak. There were other battles after Rehoboam.
2 Chronicles 16:1 "In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah."
The 36th year of Asa would be 948 BC. Rehoboam 17 years from 1004 BC, Abijah 3 years, Asa peaceful till his 36th year: 1004 BC - 17 - 3 - 36 = 948 BC.
2 Chronicles 20:1 "It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle."
2 Chronicles 20:17 "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you."
2 Chronicles 21:8 "In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
21:9 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
21:10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers."
918 BC - 8 years of Jehoram = 910 BC.
King Solomon's death in 1004 BC - 17 - 3 - 41 - 25 = 918 BC = 950 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Thus, a battle in 948 BC and another in about 918 BC, another in 910 BC = this 940 BC to 900 BC layer of destruction.
Likewise Laschish was destroyed, also in Joshua's conquest, two days after Joshua's long day, dated to about 1150 BC. Likewise, if dated to Egypt, this should be 76 years further back. 76 years and 15 years back is this 1241 BC.
"One archaeological stratum dating from around 1200 BC shows signs of catastrophic fire,"
"Around 1200 BC, the devasting Bronze Age Collapse struck the Middle East, Greece and North Africa. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and horrific drought struck the ancient world."
Ancient Iraq. p.36.
Not 1200 BC but 1240 BC, after Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
The sun's light may cause earthquakes. Long days such as the heat and forest fires described by the Chinese of the sun standing still for ten days on Yao's long day, may contribute to earthquakes.
Google "How the sun affects earthquakes"
The effect of sun miracles on the earth, like Joshua's long day, may have played a role in "volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and horrific droughts"
The burning of Hazor has been dated to the mid 13th century = 1250 BC, but actually Hazor was burned in February 5, 1240 BC.
The fact there was widespread city-destruction that year of Joshua's long day, 1241 BC, points to the Bible being very accurate. Just the scribe that wrote the account got the names of the cities wrong. But he got the names of two of the most important cities right, Hazor, Lachish. Thus the account was factual.
Joshua 10:27 "And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
10:29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
10:31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
10:32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
"the second day" counting from Joshua's long day and the sun setting the day Joshua took Makkedah = Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC - the next day was the first day of the week, Sunday when Lachish was destroyed - the next day was the second day of the week, Monday, August 12, 1241 BC.
Thus, Lachish was destroyed to the ground.
Joshua 11:13 "But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn."
Joshua burned both Hazor and Jericho.
Joshua 6:24 "And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. "
Thus, only Hazor and Lachish show signs of destruction, and Hazor also signs of burning, just as the Bible says.
Most likely two years after Joshua crossed the river Jordan Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, one year after the battle of Merom on February 4, 1240 BC in Joshua 11 and Judges 4, 5, the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun, be on February 5, 1239 BC, be king Wan's dream.
You will read here of dates for possible sun miracles that match Purim of Esther = the 12th year, the 12th month of Adar, the 13th day of Adar:
When Lu Yang pointed his spear at the sun at sunset at battle, about 465 BC or 464 BC, the sun reversed three solar mansions, that is, the sun rose from the west to the meridian. When Wu was at battle in 1174 BC he also motioned with his spear and was a sun miracle, perhaps the sun rose three of twelve zodiak constellations to the meridian from setting in the west like it did for Lu Yang.
We do not know the year Lu Yang pointed his spear and the sun rose in the west.
We do know Lu Yang was the grandson of Chu Ping Wang who died in 515 BC. Lu Yang lived before 450 BC.
We do know Purim in Esther was in the 12th year of Xerxes from 478 BC = 467 BC to 465 BC.
"In his 1st year, which was kwei-yew (10th of cycle 60 from 2636 BC = 467 BC), Yu-yueh removed its capital to Lang-ya."
The Chinese Classics. p.167.
King Ching-Ting's first year in March of 467 BC, and like so many Chinese emperors, began in a year X68BC: 869 BC, 769 BC, 570 BC, 467 BC, 367 BC = even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From this 467 BC, the first month Nissan, first day, one year later to the day is Adar 13, second Adar. A sun miracle on Nissan one, one year later, 365 days later, would be on second Adar 13, in 466 BC.
A sun miracle on the first day of the Passover month, March 17, 467 BC followed by a sun miracle on the 13th of second Adar one year later, March 18, 466 BC:
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had lightH219 and gladness, and joy, and honour."
H219 אוֹרָה 'ôrâh o-raw' Feminine of H216; luminousness, that is, (figuratively) prosperity; also a plant (as being bright): - herb light. Total KJV occurrences: 4
One other place is light H219:
Psalm 139:12 "Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the lightH219 are both alike to thee."
"Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan period, summer, 4th month, day wushen 45. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.189.
Thus, possibly the sun, or the glory of God, appeared at night in Esther 8:16.
122 occurances of lightH216:
H216 אוֹר 'ôr ore From H215; illumination or (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.): - bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun. Total KJV occurrences: 122
"light H219" = the noon sun retreated to the dawn = the setting sun on Lu Yang retreated to the noon, the meridian. Therefore, the book of Esther is fact.
From the Greek Septuagint and the Codex Sinaiticus:
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light and gladness."
The Greek word light, phos:
From the Latin Vulgate:
"But to the Jews a new light seemed to rise, joy, honour and dancing."
"new light" = "nova lux"
"a new light' = the noon sun retreat to set in the east, and rise again a new, a new light.
"According to ancient Chinese astronomy, there are 12 Ci, each of them consists of different Xiu (constellation, mansion). Therefore, even in Han dynasty, the annotator did not know She meant Ci or Xiu. Should Ci be translated as "group of constellations"? I am not sure." -- Translation by Xueshun Liu.
3 groups of 2 = 6 or 90°. 3 out of 12 is 90°. You can easily see again below, depicted at the bottom "3 stalls". Three solar mansions could simply mean the sun moved 3 X 360°. In this scenario a few hundred years before king Hezekiah would see the sun retreat from the dawn position to rise in the west and retreat to the dawn position and the illness having remitted, gone up that day perhaps as the sun suddenly ascended as it may have for Jesus on the resurrection Sunday; and gone up the third day into the temple.
Nevertheless, three solar mansions = 3 X 2 hours = 6 hours of 24 hours = 90° = the sun rose from the western horizon to the meridian, noon, position in China:
The character on the top right is "Lu" = a bird grasping the sun = the phoenix:
Here you can see three shi means six hours:
| shi | local time | shi | local time |
| zi | 23-01h | wu | 11-03h |
| chou | 01-03h | wei | 13-15h |
| yin | 03-05h | shen | 15-17h |
| mao | 05-07 | you | 17-19h |
| chen | 07-09h | xu | 19-21h |
| si | 09-11h | hai | 21-23h |
Lu Yang being the grandson of Chu Ping Wang who died in 515 BC. Lu Yang lived before 450 BC.
There was an earthquake in Sparta dated to 463 BC, about the time Esther delivered the Jews = the 13th day of the 12th month - perhaps the 13th day was Friday, January 27, 464 BC and they rested on Adar 14 on the Saturday the Sabbath day = the time Lu Yang recorded the sun rose in the west and passed through three solar mansions on the 11th Chinese month, the fourth year of King Ching-Ting, from spring in February in 467 BC = 464 BC, - counting from Spring in March = the spring equinox March 23, 464 BC and the first lunar month of spring from March 10, 464 BC.
Then Purim of Esther is this Adar 13 in the 11th month is Friday January 27, 464 BC, or the next year in 463 BC = Adar 13 is Tuesday January 16, 463 BC.
Or Adar 13 on Saturday/Sunday February 25, 464 BC.
You will see a variety of dates for this Purim in Esther.
The end of the fourth year from 467 BC = January 463 BC. The 12th year of Xerxes from 477 BC is 465 BC or February 26, 464 BC / January 27, 464 BC = the same 12th year from 477 BC continuing into the new year, the 12th month of Adar = an added second month of Adar in the 12th year of Xerxes.
There was an added second month of Adar in Xerxes' 12th year = Purim of Esther.
God may have moved the sun in the 12th year of Xerxes, from 477 BC = 466 BC, on the first day of Nissan, March 7, 466 BC.
Then one year later equal the 13th day of the 12th month = Purim, March 7, 465 BC:
The sun must return one year later on the same date.
The 12th month may be in January / February. Thus sun miracles on the same date one year later: January 27, 464 BC to January 27, 463 BC.
The most likely date would be Sunday, February 26, 464 BC = 12 years from Xerxes becoming King in about October 478 BC / 477 BC, 477 BC - 12 years = in October 465 BC = the 12th month of Adar the same 12th year = February 26, 464 BC = the 13th day of Adar = the fourth year (467 BC - 3 years = 464 BC) of King Ching-Ting from 467 BC:
Perhaps God move the sun back on Adar 13, Purim, the 13th day of the 12th month, one year after Nissan one, one year to the exact date and earth flowed out of a reverse orbit of the sun.
February 26, 464 BC:
Perhaps God moved the sun to the other side of earth on the first day of the first month, Nissan one, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun:
February 26, 465 BC:
This is a pattern of Jesus going to the cross on Friday and rising from the dead on Sunday.
Artaxerxes I reigned from 458 BC when his father Xerxes died. Thus, Artaxerxes I's fourth year from 458 BC would be this solar eclipse in 455 BC instead of his fourth year from 466 BC, 463 BC; be Artaxerxes fourth year from 458 BC = 454 BBC.
You can see the solar eclipse for April 30, 463 BC - that was mistaken:
You can see the actual solar eclipse record, and the earthquake, that day, for May 31, 455 BC = 8 years more recent than 463 BC when the date, both lunar and the Egyptian 30 day month, match. You can see the partial solar eclipse was visible from Sparta. Ancient people noticed even the smallest edge of the moon grazing the sun.
May 31, 455 BC is the same day of the 30 day month as April 30, 463 BC, only one month more recent = the same day in the Egyptian calendar.
Nevertheless, the eclipse the Spartans took as an omen to let Xerxes go at the battle of Salamis, September 26, 472 BC, must have been God suddenly moving the sun = the sun removed and sudden darkness.
This earthquake in Sparta would be 8 years more recent on May 31, 455 BC. April 30 and May 30, about the same month of the year. Thus, May 31, 455 BC be the correct date.
This April solar eclipse may be a sun miracle at noon at the Passover, like the darkness when Jesus was on the cross.
The full moon Sunday, March 30, 456 BC and Thursday, March 19, 455 BC, Wednesday, April 7, 454 BC, may have been the Passover. 454 BC / 128 = 4 days. Thus April 7, 454 BC = April 3, 33 AD.
2 Kings 20:5 "Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD."
2 Kings 20:8b "What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?"
The third day was a type of Jesus' resurrection the third day from Friday, that is, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
The Passover was Sunday, March 31, 703 BC. The third day was April 2, 703 BC.
The word for healH7495:
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leningrad Codex, Volume 6, 2 Kings, p.315.
The word for healingH7495 is only used one more time in the same spelling in Isaiah 30:26. Both times healing is associated with the sun:
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healethH7495 the stroke of their wound."
H7495 רָפָה רָפָא râphâ' râphâh raw-faw', raw-faw' A primitive root; properly to mend (by stitching), that is, (figuratively) to cure: - cure, (cause to) heal, physician, repair, X thoroughly, make whole. See H7503. Total KJV occurrences: 67
2 Kings 20:9 "And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degreesH4609, or go back ten degrees?"
The only other place the same word degreesH4609 is used is in the same account in Isaiah 38:8.
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leningrad Codex, Volume 6, 2 Kings, p.316.
H4609 מַעֲלָה ma‛ălâh mah-al-aw' Feminine of H4608; elevation, that is, the act (literally a journey to a higher place, figuratively a thought arising), or (concretely) the condition (literally a step or grade mark, figuratively a superiority of station); specifically a climactic progression (in certain Psalms): - things that come up, (high) degree, dial, go up, stair, step, story. Total KJV occurrences: 46
2 Kings 20:9 "And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go backH7725 ten degrees?"
The word for turn backH7725 is also in Jeremiah 8:4.
Jeremiah 8:4 "Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn awayH7725, and not returnH7725?"
H7725 שׁוּב shûb shoob A primitive root; to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbially again: - ([break, build, circumcise, dig, do anything, do evil, feed, lay down, lie down, lodge, make, rejoice, send, take, weep]) X again, (cause to) answer (+ again), X in any case (wise), X at all, averse, bring (again, back, home again), call [to mind], carry again (back), cease, X certainly, come again (back) X consider, + continually, convert, deliver (again), + deny, draw back, fetch home again, X fro, get [oneself] (back) again, X give (again), go again (back, home), [go] out, hinder, let, [see] more, X needs, be past, X pay, pervert, pull in again, put (again, up again), recall, recompense, recover, refresh, relieve, render (again), X repent, requite, rescue, restore, retrieve, (cause to, make to) return, reverse, reward, + say nay, send back, set again, slide back, still, X surely, take back (off), (cause to, make to) turn (again, self again, away, back, back again, backward, from, off), withdraw.

The sun may have been at the meridian, at noon in Israel. God may have been asked if the noon sun should presently set in the west or the east. Just like Lu Yang, the setting sun in China = the noon sun in Israel. The sun rising in the west on China to the meridian = the noon day sun setting in the east.
Thus, this account by Lu Yang in 464 BC = the account by Hezekiah in 703 BC.
703 BC - 464 BC = 239 years = 200 + 39 years, the 39 years of Jesus' perfect life.
Ten steps on the sun dial of Ahaz may be from sunrise to midday. Thus, the noon day sun be moved either forward or backward.
The ten steps may be ten decans. That is, from noon to sunrise is 90° of a 360° circle = 9 decans = about this same 10 decans, 10 steps.
Then ten degrees is correct. Only 10 X 10 degrees. Ten decans. 100°.
God moving the sun from noon to the east to dawn at the same rate the sun passes east west each day, would mean in this six hours the sun would have passed 180°, and earth may flow into or out of a reverse orbit of the sun.
This would mean the noon sun in Israel be the setting sun in China. The sun moved from noon to dawn = the setting sun in China moved from sunset in the west to pass to the meridian, noon, in China = all these many records of these events in China.
In Esther Purim was the 13th day of the 12th month of Adar in the 12th year of Xerxes. Counting the 12th year from 477 BC into the new year January of 464 BC, the 13th of Adar should be Friday, January 27, 464 BC thus the sabbath Saturday, the next day 14 of Adar.
That is, counting from the spring of 476 BC, the 12th year from the spring of 465 BC (476 BC - 11 years = 465 BC) = second month of Adar 13 = Sunday, February 26, 464 BC.
Thus, Sunday was the first day of the casting of lots, the first day of the week.
One year before was the first month Nissan, on day one of the month, Friday, February 26, 465 BC. The sun may have moved to the other side of earth the first day of the first month and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, then the sun may return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit on the same date one year later, on the second month of Adar 13, = February 26, 464 BC = the feast of Purim.
"In his 12th year (of emperor Wu = his father's death, king Wan in 1186 BC), which is sin-maou (28th of cycle, = 1049 BC corrected 1174 BC), the king led the tribes of the west and princes to attack Yin, and defeated Show in the wilderness of Muh. He took with his own hand Show prisoner in the tower of Nan-tan; and entered into the participation of the bright appointment of Heaven, setting up to continue the sacrifices of his ancestors"
Here you see the characters for sun and moon together = the bright appointment of Heaven, like above, the sixth character from the top left:
"In his (Te-sin) 42nd year (from 1227 BC), (the first year of king Woo of Chow)" 1186 BC, when his father king Wan died.
"Reckoning from the 42nd year of Show, when Woo succeeded his father as Duke of Chow." King Wan from his first year, February 5, 1239 BC = his death in this 1186 BC, and his sun succeeded him. 12 years to Wu becoming emperor in 1174 BC, six years to Ching becoming emperor in 1168 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Ching reigned 37 years, like the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Wu reigned 18 years, from his father king Wan's death in 1186 BC to the first year of King Ching in 1168 BC. Wu reinged six years as emperor of China from 1174 BC to 1168 BC.
The Chinese have 12 signs, 12 months, a year. Thus three signs, three mansions, = the sun rising in the west to the noon position = the bright appointment of Heaven.
Joshua 11:6 "And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."
"about this time" may have been noon the day before. The sun may stand still at noon for 24 hours = 360° February 4, 1240 BC. Thus the Assyrian omen: "If in Adar (February) the sun stands still in the middle of noontime: the land will experience siege (and) misery."
Joshua 11:11 "And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire."
The Tel Hazor ruins show the city capitol was burned by fire, "a scorched palace in the 13th century BC" probably February 4, 1240 BC = the battle of Merom six months after Joshua's long day.
The most likely date for the battle of Merom is the 21st day of the first month = last day of the seven days of unleavened bread of the Passover of the first month, Tuesday, February 4, 1240 BC or Wednesday, February 5, 1240 BC.
February 5, 1238 BC may have been the Passover, possibly another sun miracle on the same date.
"King Wan is like the sun and the moon, he lighted the western regions" not only describes the sun standing still at sunset in the west for 12 hours, Thursday February 5, 1239 BC or Friday February 6, 1239 BC, but also may describe the sun standing still at sunset in the west in China = noon in Israel, for 24 hours one and a half years earlier on this Joshua's Long Day, August 10, 1241 BC.
February 6, 1239 BC you can see is both the six day moon, and the sixth day of the week:
Joshua's long day may have been on a normal day and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
We know the sun moved back on king Wan's dream exactly one and a half orbits later.
There should be whole years of reverse orbit.
The sun must move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit.
The sun probably moved back on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
The sun may be moved east or west 180°:, and earth flow into or out of a reverse orbit.
So, was Joshua's long day on a normal orbit and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. Or was Joshua's long day for 24 extra hours at the exact half orbit point from the crossing of the Jordan River?
The sun did rise in the west and set in the east for Hezekiah.
Gideon's battle may have been Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. The next day the "sun ascended" in Judges 8:13 may be a parallel to Jesus' resurrection Sunday morning, April 5, 33 AD.
For the sun and moon to be visible when the sun was in the middle of the sky at the same time, the moon must be either the six day or first quarter moon = the first quarter moon on Joshua's long day August 24, 1241 BC or the last quarter moon August 10, 1241 BC, and king Wan's dream, February 15, 1240 BC or more likely king Wan's dream was February 5, 1239 BC. From the lunar day in autumn an half orbit later is on about the same lunar day, 178 days = 6 X 29.5 days. From August 10, 1241 BC to February 5, 1239 BC is 365 days + this half orbit of 178 days.
Nevertheless, king Wan's dream most likely was one and a half orbits later, February 5, 1239 BC, from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
Most likely this was a normal day and Joshua see the moon rise at midnight when he and his soldiers climbed up to Gibeon all night, the moon now almost setting in the west, the sun above at noon, when Joshua made his request to God to stop the sun and the moon in the sky.
The Jewish people only had three watches at night. Thus, the middle watch at midnight.
Joshua may have asked God to stop the sun because the sun was already moving.
Or, simply this was a normal day, and Joshua asked God to make the sun stand stll in the sky = to stop in the sky, by moving the sun 360° with earth's rotation for 24 hours.
Then this Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC on the 21st day of the seventh lunar month = the moon setting in the west, and the sun at noon; was the half orbit from the children of Israel crossing the Jordan River, when there may have been a long day for two million people to both cross the Jordan and assemble at Shechem to hear the law spoken by Joshua.
Thus, this may be a normal day, only this be the half orbit point when it is easiest to move the sun, moon, and planets back and forth.
Or, this was a normal day and earth in a normal orbit, and God answered Joshua by moving the sun to the other side of the earth, by moving the sun 180° with earth's rotation for 12 hours.
Then one and a half orbits later God moved the sun back on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC = 5 X 12 hours = 60 hours, long days in one and a half years to counter the 48 hour + 12 hours to exit; and another + 12 hours to begin = adds to 72 hours = one and a half sped up earth orbit a year and a half in the reverse orbit. 1.5 X 48 hours = 72 hours.
Possibly there was 2 X 12 hours = 24 hours, long day on February 4, 1240 BC and August 10, 1240 BC. Thus, there needs to be a long day of 24 hours as well as for 12 hours. Joshua's long day of 24 hours at the half orbit point from February 4, 1241 BC counters the half orbit point of sped up earth of 24 hours, half of 48 hours.
You can use a globe of the earth, move an object "the sun" to the other side and see earth is in a different season than it was. Then you can rotate the base of the globe to put earth in the same season. Only, God must have moved the sun up or down instead to keep earth in the same season. Then at the half orbit point you can rotate the base of the globe again by as much again = the sun may move back 180° and earth flow out of the reverse orbit as if it never was in a reverse orbit.
Earth is kept in the same season all the time, the seasons continue as normal in the reverse orbit and after the reverse orbit.
Thus, the day at the half orbit point is important, for this is the day God may move the sun, moon, and planets 180° back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit without a trace.
Thus, Joshua may have made his request on the right day, August 10, 1241 BC, half an orbit after the crossing of the River Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC.
Thus, the day "that the LORD hearkened".
Joshua 10:14 "And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."
Exodus 33:11 "And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle."
Thus, God heard Joshua that day.
Likewise, half an orbit after the crossing of the river Jordan, a long day, and the same day to hike up to Shechem for Joshua to speak all the law = a very long day February 4, 1241 BC. Half an orbit later may be a normal day, the sun at noon. Then likewise the moon would be seen all day six hours ahead of the sun to the west, the sun at noon and the last quarter moon setting in the west when Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still and the moon stand still.
The moon visible all day, the 21 day moon, the last quarter moon, is easier to follow than to see the moon just when it rises in the east.
Here you see the first quarter moon, the eight day moon = 55% rise on the Okanagan Valley, 4 PM Pacific Daylight Saving Time July 28, 2020 or 3 PM Pacific Standard Time. Thus, the moon's crown would rise on a flat horizon about 1 PM Pacific Standard Time = the sun at the half of heaven. Again, you can see how hard it is to spot the moon on the eastern horizon as it first appears:
Here you see the last quarter moon, the 21 day moon, at 10:30 AM, in Taurus on August 10, 1241 BC. Both the sun and the moon are visible.
Joshua was pointing both to the noon day sun over Gibeon, and to the setting moon in the west over Ajalon = both in his vision when he made his request to God to make both the sun stand still and the moon stand still.
Here you can see the moon sets at 12:27 PM = the sun is exactly at the noon position when Joshua made his request.
The moon would be over the Mediterranean = the horizon and the moon setting at 12:27 PM = both the moon and the sun was seen by Joshua at the same time.
Because Saturn and Jupiter are so far away from the sun, the light from the sun as it moved would reach earth in eight minutes, and light from Saturn to earth would take over 80 minutes and light from Jupiter would take over 46 minutes; and thus they would appear to still be there in Scorpius more than one hour later.
Thus, the picture of king Wan's dream is the sun had set in the west = noon in Israel, and the stars came out, and Saturn and the first quarter moon, both at first appearing in Scorpius/Fang, shone directly above for 12 hours as they all moved 180° with earth's rotation to Taurus, then earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Simply, God must have moved the planets ahead before he moved the sun = counterclockwise with earth's rotation. Then all five planets would appear after sunset in China in Scorpius/Fang.
For Saturn to move 180° with the sun, Saturn would travel one third of the speed of light. Over one tenth of the speed of light, time on Saturn would slow and light from Saturn would dim.
When the sun set, February 5, 1239 BC: Saturn would appear in Scorpius/Fang, and the other four planets could be moved ahead of the sun as well, then all five planets would appear in Scorpius/Fang = from Virgo, by the sun, to Scorpius. Saturn have a 70 minute time delay = all five planets appear in Scorpius.
Thus, the sun would set on China, and the stars appear, the stars of the zodiac constellation Scorpius appear, the planets being moved ahead of the sun also then would appear in Scorpius above, even all five planets from sunset in the west to Scorpius just west of the Meridian. That is, Mercury would appear at sunset, and Venus, then also Mars, Jupiter too would be moved ahead of the sun and the light from Jupiter reach earth when Jupiter was in Scorpius.
Then Saturn that was already in Scorpius, because Saturn is so much further off = some 80 minutes for light to come from Saturn to earth, light from Saturn appear in Scorpius after sunset. Thus the planets to the east of sunset.
The five planets in the west in Scorpius at sunset means the sun was in Virgo in this first month of China spring February 16, 1240 BC = the sun must move back 180° to Pisces that night in China.
The new moon was the solar eclipse below India 14 TD August 17, 1241 BC. Jerusalem is about 19 TD. So, four hours from India to Jerusalem, and the new moon event should be 4 hours earlier than 12 PM = 8 AM August 17, 1241 BC. Then Joshua's long day be Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC the first quarter moon, or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, the last quarter moon. Thus, the moon should be almost 50% at the first quarter moon, and again about 50% at the last quarter moon.
Then Joshua could see the moon barely above the eastern hills at noon at Gibeon when he asked God to make the sun and moon stand still.
Or Joshua's long day be August 10, 1241 BC and Joshua would see the moon pass east to west from 12 AM to 12 PM and know the third quarter moon was almost setting at noon time, when God made the sun stand still at noon for 12 or 24 hours, and the moon stand still over the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and not set for 12 or 24 hours.
The moon would be setting in the west on August 10, 1241 BC at noon when Joshua made his request.
Likewise, Joshua's long day, the 21st day of the seventh month, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC is seven days before the new moon August 17, 1241 BC.
Likewise, the seventh month in China:
"Scorpio, the Ho of Yaou, was considered, even to the end of the Chow dynasty, as an important guide to the knowledge of the seasons, as is evident from the frequent references to it in the writings of that time. An ode in the Book of Poetry, attributed to Chow-Kung, begins with the words "in the seventh month Ho passes on" - that is to say, passes to the westward at the meridian at night fall. From which it would follow that in the sixth month it was in the meridian at the same hour. This would have been the case if the seventh month had coincided with ours, or with the end of July or part of August, but not if the year had commenced with our December, as the Chinese say the year of the Chow dynasty always did."
"Here therefore is an argument against the prevailing opinion, which there are other strong reasons for setting aside, that king Woo, when he became emperor, ordered that the year should begin before the winter solstice, while the first month was still absurdly styled the first of spring...the months of the year fell into great disorder.."
The new moon in 1174 BC was January 3. The winter solstice in 1174 BC was December 31 / January 1. 1174 BC / 128 = 9. December 22 + 9 = December 31.
"The first mention of the cyclical name of a day is found in the Shoo, Pt IV. Bk.IV.p1. It is said to have been the 12th month of the first year of the emperor T'ae-kea."
"This is the only instance of the use of the cycle which occurs before 1121 BC."
The decisive battle was the disappearing of the moon, just before the new moon, on day 29 of cycle 60 January 1, 1174 BC. The new moon was January 3, 1174 BC. January 1, 1174 BC was day 29 of cycle 60 and was the last waning moon.
Day 29 of cycle 60, January 22, 1121 BC was the fifth lunar day and does not work:
The Chinese Classics. p.97.
"In the first month, the day jin-shin, day 29 of cycle 60, immediately followed the end of the moon's waning. The next day was Kwei-ke, day 30 of cycle 60, when the king in the morning marched from Chow to attack and punish Shang."
The Chinese Classics. Books of Chow, Book III. p.306.
Here you can see the new moon was January 3, 1174 BC. The end of the moon's waning was on January 1, 1174 BC = day 29 of cycle 60.
Like king Wan's dream in spring when the sun was in Virgo 180° from Pisces = the sun on the other side of the earth and earth in a reverse orbit.
God moving the sun to the other side of earth means the constellations marking the seasons would move 180° moving in reverse. Thus,"the months of the year fell into great disorder".
"The passage in the Tso Chuen, in which Confucius is made to say that in the 12th month of the year, Scorpio was still visible in the west, is not intelligible, for the sun must have passed through Scorpio in October, and the 12th month was certainly not our September."
The Chinese Classics, p92 - 93.
All these points are solved by God moving the sun to the other side of the earth.
"ordered that the year should begin before the winter solstice, while the first month was still absurdly styled the first of spring...the months of the year fell into great disorder" = the sun on the other side of earth = the sun in Virgo in the first month of spring and earth in a reverse orbit of the sun.
"In the seventh month Ho passes on" Counting from December seven months is June. Ho, Antares, transits at 4 PM, sets at 9 PM August 20, 1241 BC = Ho is setting at 8 PM. Ho is transiting at 10 PM May 20, 1241 BC. So how is Ho transiting in April / May be in the seventh month counting from December?
"The 12th month Scorpio visible in the west" The sun is in Scorpio in the fall in Yao's time - Scorpio has already set in the west. In king Wan's time the sun was in Virgo and was setting with Scorpio above = the sun on the other side of the earth and earth in a reverse orbit. Normally, the sun would be in Scorpio in the 12th month - so how is Scorpio visible?
From Ramah above Gibeon, the place of Joshua's battle, possibly, the first quarter moon be visible at noon, above the Jordan hills at about the same elevation. Then, again, after Joshua chased the Amorites down Bethoron and into the Ajalon valley and take Makkedah.
Or, this was the last quarter moon, the sun at the noon position in the middle of the sky and the moon setting over Ajalon in the west.
From Ramah, Joshua would point to the sun on his right above Gibeon and with his left hand to the Ajalon valley in the west.
Makkedah was near Lachish. For Joshua to take Makkedah on Joshua's long day he would have to travel more than 35 miles from Gibeon and need at least 12 more hours of daylight, probably 24 more hours of daylight.
There are more than ten more miles from Azekah to Makkedah.
Then the eastern horizon would again be nearly flat, and the first quarter moon again visible at noon when the sun stood still in the middle of the sky.
The first quarter moon can be seen from this Ramah, above Gibeon, to the north east where Ajloun is in Jordan and where Aijalon is in Zebulun, towards Galilee. A third Ajloun is in Jordan where Gideon went pursuing the Midianites, perhaps the same day as Joshua's long day.
Nevertheless, Joshua's long day may have been the last quarter moon = the moon on the western horizon. Also, Makkedah is about ten miles east of Lachish, meaning the hillside block the view east, just as it did from the picture from Bethshemesh.
There are five towns by the name of Ajalon in the Bible. So, either of these two towns north of Gibeon could be the Ajalon Joshua spoke of instead of the descent of Bethoron below Gibeon.
Judges 12:12 "And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun."
Habakukk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation:"
The Hebrew for "habitation" is the word "zebulun". The tribe of Zebulun is where Nazareth is. Aijalon is to the north east of Gibeon in Galilee.
Then this same day Gideon in Judges 6, 7, 8, may have fought the Midianites about where this Ajloun was. Then Joshua's prayer may have included his prayer for the battle of Gideon to the north east the same day.
Hebrews 11:32 "And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:"
Thus, Gideon was mentioned before Barak, the battle of Gideon be Joshua's long day and the battle of Barak and Deborah be six months later = the battle at Merom February 5, 1240 BC.
Judges 8:4 "And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them."
The River Jordan would be at its lowest August 24, 1241 BC or August 10, 1241 BC, and thus Gideon and his 300 men could cross over.
Or, the battle of Gideon in Judges 6, 7, 8, be on Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC when God heaped up the flood waters of the river Jordan 30 miles north of Jericho at Adam and Zeratan. Thus, Gideon could cross the dry river bed of Jordan to slay the Midianites and catch the kings Zeba and Zulmunna.
More likely, there was a high wall of water to the right of the children of Israel when they crossed the Jordan on dry land. Then, the water backed up all the way to Zeratan and above Adam. Then, Gideon may have crossed the damed and still water south, and the Midianites be caught before the rushing flood waters of Jordan north.
Judges 7:24 "And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan."
And thus also, "and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan." because the heap of the waters of Jordan just north of Adam and Zeratan.
Or the heap of waters was at the crossing of the river Jordan by Israel at Jericho. Then there be rushing flood waters north of Adam, and calm but deep waters backed up, yet less deep, south of Adam.
Thus, the rushing flood waters above Adam, and calm flood waters, below Adam, where the Jordan river may be easily crossed.
Likewise, the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan for Jephthah:
Judges 12:5 "And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;"
If this was the day Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan, the flood fast moving river above, and the wide but still waters backed up. "to take the waters" = to stop the Midianites from crossing the flood waters of Jordan at the point easiest to cross. The still waters would be that point easiest to cross.
John 1:28 "These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
Bethbarah and Bethabara may be the same place.
Perhaps king Wan's battle with emperor Wending was the six day moon, the battle of Joshua, August 24, 1241 BC = the phoenixes on mount K'e, and king Wan's dream, another sun miracle, February 15, 1240 BC.
However, the Chinese record of king Wan's dream and his battle is one and the same day, the sixth day of the first month of spring, the first year of king Wan = his 35th year September 23, 1205 BC = his first year, February 5, 1239 BC = the long sunset, when the sun moved 180° back, the sun standing still at sunset in China for 12 hours, when king Wan was clothed in the sun and moon = king Wan's night clothes.
Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
The light is Jesus.
Acts 26:13 "At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me."
Acts 26:15 "And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Genesis 1:18 "And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
Psalm 74:16 "The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter."
The sun and moon were created on the fourth day. Creation began with light, with Jesus.
On the fourth day you openned a great luminary in the domain of
forty-nine portions of light, seven
for three ages of darkness, seventy
in all the days of its domain
eternal to give light sevenfold
My God
Glorious festivals
Festival. Blessed be the God of
and judgement of righteousness
in the depths of darkness."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 4Q440.
There was a gap of seventy years in Captivity, from 591 BC to 521 BC.
"eternal to give light sevenfold"
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
This may speak of the resurrection morning.
Colossians 1:26 "the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints."
"the mystery hidden" yet these many sun miracles from the past pointed to Jesus' coming, and that from the beginning.
Romans 16:25 "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen."
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:4 "In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
28:5 "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
Matthew 28:1 "Now late on the Sabbath, as it was getting dusk toward the first day of the week"
Job 12:22 "He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death."
From the Darby English Bible:
Matthew 28:1 "Now late on the sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after the sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre."
The sabbath ended and the first day of the week began when it became dark. Mary came to the tomb at the end of the sabbath at evening, "the evening and the morning were the first day" - for the sun to rise when Mary came to the tomb, the sun must rise about 11 PM. Gideon attacked at the beginning of the middle watch, about 11 PM.
The sun rising in the west, then Joshua's long day, then the sun setting in the east, then a sudden sunrise Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC = the resurrection sunrise, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
"139 BC June 11 China. "Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan reign period, summer, 4th month, day wushen [45]. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.89.
"the three Miao tribes were in great disorder and Heaven decreed their destruction. The sun came out at night and for three days it rained blood. A dragon appeared in the ancestral temple and dogs howled in the market place..." The Chinese Classics, Shun's 32nd year 2191 BC.
"The horses of the Sun..May the sun with its seven horses arrive..Elsewhere it is said to be drawn by a dragon"
The Myths and Gods of India. p.95
Psalm 139:12 "Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."
Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."
Joshua 10:32 "And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah."
Lachish was destroyed on the second day, the second day of the week, Monday, from Joshua's long day, Saturday August 10, 1241 BC. Monday the second day of the week, August 12, 1241 BC.
Next Hazor was burned that year, perhaps February 16, 1240 BC or February 4, 1240 BC. The date given by Wikipedia is 1150 BC. With the Egyptian chronology 76 years too recent, the real date of its destruction should match the Bible account 91 years earlier = 1150 BC + 76 + 15 = 1241 BC.
Then 650 years later, 13 X 50 years later, Jerusalem was burned September 9 = the ninth of Av, in 591 BC. 500 years from the 50 year jubile in 1091 BC to 591 BC. 1091 BC = the 14th year of emperor Ch'aou in China:
From 1091 BC are seven years to the reign of David from 1084 BC.
"In his (King K'ang) 26th year, in the autumn, in the 9th month, on day ke-wei (56th of cycle 60), the king died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books. p.149.
Thus, King K'ang died after the seventh month of 1107 BC, in the 9th month. A sun miracle in autumn of 1107 BC may be an omen of Jesus' birth that the Chinese took to change emperors, in the seventh month, about September 12, 7 BC.
Day 56 = October 2, 1107 BC = the new moon; or the new moon, December 1, 1107 BC.
From King K'ang's death in 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC; less 120 years = two 60 year cycles to 987 BC; less 19 years for emperor Ch'aou to 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice = this sun miracle in Ch'aou's 19th year:
Then there is a 3 year gap between 968 BC and emperor Muh in 965 BC.
"In his, Ch'aou's, 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible.".."In his 19th year, in the spring, a comet appeared in the space Tsze-mei (including the stars around the north pole). The duke of Tse and the baron of Sin followed the king against Ts'oo. The heavens were dark and temptestuous. Pheasants and hares were terrified. The king's armies perished in the Han. The king died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books. p.149.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa."
This 15th year of Asa = the 14th year of emperor Ch'aou. Perhaps there was this sun miracle that "the regular stars were invisible." in the 4th month in China = in the 3rd month in Israel.
"In his (Ch'aou) 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible. In autumn, in the 7th month, the people of Loo killed their ruler Tsae."
The Chinese Classics. p.149.
Ch'aou died in his 19th year. If this was 965 BC, the first year of emperor Muh, his 14th year would be 970 BC = the 15th year of Asa from 984 BC.
The fourth month in China = the third month in Israel.
The 15th year from 984 BC = 969 BC; about the 971 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking in Luke 4 from Isaiah 16. From 968 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
The first year of emperor Ch'aou may be 984 BC = 19 years back from King Muh in 965 BC. Thus, a sun miracle in this 15th year of Asa, King of Judah, that prompted the Chinese to have a new emperor.
Thus, this must be the correct date. The same date in Israel and in China.
A sun miracle to begin the reign of Asa in 985 BC and emperor Ch'aou in 984 BC. The 15th year of Asa = the 14th year of Ch'aou. The 3rd month in Israel = the 4th month in China.
Sun miracles have to be for at least one year. Thus, a sun miracle to begin Asa's reign in 985 BC may be followed with a sun miracle the same date for 984 BC. Then, 19 years from 984 BC = 965 BC; the 59 years of emperor Muh to 906 BC. A sun miracle in 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth be the omen for a new emperor.
There are 120 years missing = 2 X 60 year cycles. From King K'ang's death in 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth. Then this 120 years to 987 BC - 19 years of emperor Ch'aou to emperor Muh in 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Only there may be three years gap from 968 BC and 965 BC.
The 14th year from 984 BC = Pentecost, the third month, May 13, 971 BC.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa."
Acts 2:5 "And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven."
1 Kings 15:9 "And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah."
The last year of Solomon in 1005 BC less 20 years = 985 BC.
Jeremiah 52:12 "Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
52:13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:"
Jerusalem was taken at the darkness at noon on the seventh day of the lunar month and the seventh day of the week, September 7, 591 BC. Three days later Nebuchadrezzar burned down the temple at Jerusalem, September 10, 591 BC.
19 years earlier than Zedekiah's 10th year - Zedekiah reigned 11 years to his 12th year in 591 BC, equals 611 BC, the 30th year from the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire."
September 7, 591 BC was both Saturday, the seventh day of the week, and the seventh day of the month.
Jeremiah 34:14 "At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear."
Jeremiah 34:16 "But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
34:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth."
The 49 year jubile was in 605 BC from 1242 BC. 7 years to 598 BC and 7 more years to the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC in 591 BC.
Jeremiah 52:31 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison."
Ezekiel 30:25 "But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt."
The battle between Nebuchadnezzar and Pharaoh Amasis was in Nebuchadnezzar's 37th year. Counting from this 610 BC - 37 years = 573 BC. His 38th year 572 BC = 600 years = 12 X 50 years, to the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
If Nebuchadnezzar began his reign in 611 BC, and died 43 years later, is this 568 BC.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:"
The destruction of Jerusalem was September 7, 591 BC. Back this 19 years is 611 BC / 610 BC.
This battle was mostly between the Greeks and the Babylonians. The Greeks had a large presence in Egypt and Lybia. There may have been a sun miracle that year that God gave to aid Nebuchadnezzar to win the battle.
There are 154 matches to Egypt between Isaiah and Daniel:
| Isaiah | 35 verses found | 41 matches |
| Jeremiah | 54 verses found | 61 matches |
| Ezekiel | 43 verses found | 48 matches |
| Daniel | 4 verses found | 4 matches |
"In his 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible. In the Autumn, in the 7th month, the people of Loo killed their ruler Tsae"
The Chinese Classics, the Bamboo Books. p.149..
Thus a sun miracle in this 1091 BC, even a sun miracle in the seventh month, Yom Kippur, of the jubile in this 1091 BC year of the jubile from the crossing of the river Jordan in 1241 BC.
Or, 19 years back from the first year of King Muh of China in 967 BC = 986 BC; the 14th year of emperor Ch'aou = 972 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking on Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD.
This Yom Kippur, this 50th jubile, 1091 BC, may have been the last year the children of Israel let their land be fallow. The captivity September 7, 591 BC began the 70 years to equal all the years the children of Israel did not let the land lay fallow, all the seventh years and jubile years, 490 years.
Likewise, Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC (September means seventh) was also a jubile counting 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry in Nazareth, speaking in Luke 4 reading from Isaiah 61.
Then 13 X 49 years after 1241 BC was the first captivity of Jerusalem in 605 BC and the second captivity of Jerusalem in 591 BC = 13 X 50 years after 1241 BC in 591 BC.
2 Kings 24:1 "In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him."
From the death of Manessah in 646 BC/645 BC, two years of Amon, then from Josiah in 644 BC, 31 years to 613 BC, 11 years of Jehoiakim to 603 BC. From 611 BC - 3 years 607 BC = 600 years = 12 X 50 years, to the birth of Jesus. The first captivity in 607 BC or 605 BC. If Daniel was twenty, Daniel may have been born in 627 BC.
There was recorded the destruction of the first Temple was in the 14th year from the jubile. Then, 14 years from this 49 year jubile in 605 BC to the fall of Jerusalem in 591 BC at the 50 year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
591 BC was a 50 year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC 650 years to 591 BC. 7 X 70 = 490 years is 490 years from 1081 BC to 591 BC. Only, 591 BC was a 50 year jubile = 1091 BC 500 years to 591 BC. That is 10 X 50 = 500 years = 70 sabbaths = 70 X 7 = 490 years + 10 years = 500 years.
Daniel 1:1 "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it."
Nebuchadnezzar's first year was not 605 BC, but is 6 years further back in 611 BC. Nebuchadnezzar's third year = 607 BC.
Likewise, the fall of Jerusalem was not in 587 BC, but 4 years further back in 591 BC. Although there is no record of Nebuchadnezzar's destruction of Jerusalem. So the 4 years difference is not counted.
Nebuchadnezzar's 8th year was in 603 BC, his first year in 611 BC, his fourth year in 607 BC = 600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The destruction of Jerusalem is not recorded in Babylon cuniform tablets.
Nebuchadnezzar reigned 43 years from 611 BC to 568 BC = 600 years to Jesus' sacrifice and a possible sun miracle taken as an omen to end his reign. About that time King Ling became emperor of China in 570 BC.
2 Chronicles 33:1 "Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:"
That is, Manasseh was born in 700 BC, was 12 when his father Hezekiah died on the new moon on March 28, 688 BC and reigned to his 55th year of life, to 645 BC. Sun miracles in China were recorded both on March 28, 688 BC and a solar eclipse, that was hardly visible in China, recorded in 645 BC.
"Nothing can be surprising any more or impossible or miraculous, now that, Zeus father of the Olympians has made night out of noon day, hiding the light of the gleaming sun, and ..fear has come upon mankind. After this man can believe anything."
Archilochus, fragment 122. Translation Barron and Easterling, 1985. 127.
The date April 6, 648 BC is given for the location of Olympia. Nevertheless, this total darkness may be the sun miracle at the death of King Manasseh about the Passover in 645 BC.
The Passover in Israel, Friday, March 19, 645 BC = Jesus on the cross, Friday, April 3, 33 AD:
There was a partial solar eclipse visible from northern China, August 28, 645 BC:
Thus, this record for 644 BC = not visible, year 13 of cycle 60 = 644 BC, the fifth lunar month from April = possibly August, but is year 13 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC = 644 BC, not year 12 of cycle 60 = 645 BC. Thus, the solar eclipse record may be from a sun miracle, not a solar eclipse.
There was no solar eclipse visible from China in this year 13 of cycle 60 = 644 BC or any nearby year.
| Emperor | Year of Reign | Year of Cycle | Moon | Day of Cycle | Year BC | Month and Day | Chinese Moon | Day of Cycle | Visible |
| Seang | 7 | 13 | V | 644 BC | January 28 | III | 21 | Not Visible |
See the second line of King Seang:
The Chinese Classics. p.103.
Moon V, the fifth moon, 5, counting from November is April = the Passover in Israel when King Manasseh of Judah died.
The Passover month. Day 21 of cycle 60 March 31, 644 BC. The Passover, April 7, 644 BC. 644 / 128 = 5. April 7, 644 BC Julian - 5 days = April 2 Gregorian. Thus, the full moon, Thursday / Friday April 7, 644 BC = Jesus' sacrifice, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The new moon when a solar eclipse can occur, on day 21 of cycle 60, February 4, 645 BC:
The next 60 days to the new moon, on day 21 of cycle 60, April 4, 645 BC:
The day of cycle 60 is not given. The Passover, Friday, March 19, 645 BC may have been darkness at noon = the solar eclipse record in China in the fifth month from November. Both the day Friday, and the year 645 BC = X45 BC = 38 years backwards to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. Both the day and the year point to Jesus.
2 Chronicles 33:16 "And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel."
King Manasseh sacrificed. Thus, King Manasseh must have sacrificed on the Passover. The darkness that China recorded may have been the darkness the first day of the Passover month, or the darkness at noon on the day of the Passover, April 7, 644 BC.
2 Chronicles 33:21 "Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 34:1 "Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years."
From the death of Manasseh in 645 BC, Amon two years to 643 BC, Josiah 31 years to 612 BC to King Jehoiakim. 11 years to King Zedekiah in 602 BC. 11 years of Zedekiah to the destruction of Jerusalem in 591 BC. Thus, these years must overlap at the year's end.
Manasseh must have been born in 700 BC to be 12 in 688 BC when King Hezekiah died. Then Manasseh lived 55 years from this 700 BC to 645 BC. Then Amon reigned two years and Josiah 31 years from 643 BC to this 612 BC.
"Proof of biblical kings of Israel, Judah deciphered on Jerusalem rock inscriptions".
This inscription in Hezekiah's 17th year, second day of the fourth month - Tammuz, Monday, June 13, 700 BC = Monday the second day of the week and the second Hebrew lunar day. Hezekiah reigned 12 more years to March 28, 688 BC, 29 years in all.
2 Kings 18:2 "Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah."
2 Kings 18:13 "Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them."
2 Kings 20:6 "And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake."
2 Chronicles 36:5 "Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
36:6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon."
The 11th year of Jehoiakim should be 603 BC, about the 49 year jubile in 605 BC.
Josiah may have reigned 31 years from 645 BC to 614 BC.
Then Jehoiakim's first year be 614 BC, and his third year be 612 BC and his fifth year be 611 BC/610 BC; 611 BC = the 30th year of the fifty year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, and the fifth year of Jehoiakim.
Or the 30th year be 30 years and be 610 BC.
Jeremiah 25:1 "The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;"
This fourth year of Jehoiakim is wrongly dated to 605 BC. Jehoiakim's first year not 608 BC but four years further back in 612 BC, and Jehoiakim's fourth year 609 BC.
Jeremiah 25:1 "The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon"
Jeremiah 36:1 "And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying"
Jeremiah 45:1 "The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,"
Jeremiah 46:2 "Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah."
The first year of Nebuchadnezzar = the fourth year of Jehoiakim = 610 BC, instead of 605 BC = four or five years further back.
Ezekiel 20:1 "And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me."
The seventh year of Jehoiakim from 612 BC should be 605 BC = the 49 year jubile.
"King K'ing His first year was kwei-maou (40th of cycle 60 = 617 BC)"
The battle of Nineveh was not in 612 BC, but 4 years earlier, in 617 BC/616 BC.
"This collection..by Ashurbanipal (reigned 668 BC-631 BC)"
"The majority of the material there has to do with the predicting the future."
Archaeology, Age of Assyrian Kings, magazine, July/August 2024. p.40.
From 668 BC are 700 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From 631 BC are 38 years after 668 BC, the 38 years of Jesus' life. Portents of the sun, just like in China, were used to predict the future.
"King K'wang His first year was ke-yew (46th of cycle 60 = 611 BC)"
The first year of Jehoiakim may be in 612 BC.
King Ting His first year was yih-maou (52nd of cycle 60 = 605 BC)"
605 BC was a 49 year jubile and seventh year of Jehoiakim, both his seventh year from 611 BC, and the seventh year and the 49 jubile year.
Thus, all these dates, 617 BC, 611 BC and 605 BC match these dates in the Bible and may match dates of sun miracles that in China were taken as omens to make a new King.
Jeremiah 46:2 "Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah."
The fourth year of Jehoiakim may be 610 BC = the 30th year from the 50 year jubile in 641 BC.
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
1:2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,"
This should be Sunday, June 20, 611 BC:
The fifth year of Jehoiachin's captivity may count from this thirtieth year 611 BC, four years later, and be in 607 BC.
Or Jehoiachin's first year be in 616 BC = King K'ing's first year; the thirtieth year and fifth year be 611 BC.
The 30th year of Josiah from 644 BC would be 615 BC. Josiah reigned 31 years.
Pentecost is the fifth day of the third month.
King Jehoiachin's captivity from his first year in 611 BC is his fifth year in 606 BC.
Or 30 years of 50 years from 1241 BC, 50 year jubile from 1241 BC be 641 BC, the 30th year be 610 BC, Jehoichin's fifth year from 614 BC.
609 BC = the first year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Thus, Nebuchadnezzar II, and the reigns of his three immediate successors are in question. Nebuchadnezzar II may have reigned from 611 BC, not 605 BC. Cyrus the Great may have reigned to 517 BC not 530 BC. 4 years + 13 years = 17 missing years in between Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus.
2 Kings 24:12 "And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. "
Zedekiah reigned 11 years to 591 BC from 602 BC.
The eighth year of Jehoiachin from 614 BC is 607 BC. 611 BC would be the first year of Nebuchadnezzar II.
The 11th year of emperor Hwan in China from 617 BC was in 607 BC when was rebellion often seen from the omen of a sun miracle. 607 BC= 600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
A sun miracle may have been an omen to change the Chinese emperor both in 617 BC and in 517 BC. Cyrus died 100 years later in 517 BC.
Jeremiah 36:9 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem."
Again the fifth year of Jehoiakim should be 610 BC but may be 607 BC. The ninth month day may be the first day of the ninth month = 41 days after Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC, is the last day of the eighth month and the first day of the ninth month.
Leviticus 12:3 "And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled."
Luke 2:22 "And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;"
From the 17th day of the seventh month, Jesus was circumcised the 8th day, then 33 more days to the completion of purification of Mary, is the end of the 8th month and the beginning of the ninth month, when Simeon entered that instant. From 607 BC to 7 BC are 600 years.
Luke 2:27 "And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,"
The 30th year from the 50 year jubile, from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, in 641 BC = 611 BC.
The captivity not in 586 BC but 5 years further back in 591 BC.
Nebucadnezzar reigned not from 605 BC, but from this 611 BC. The temple at Jerusalem was destroyed not in 587 BC or 586 BC or the solar eclipse of Hallys of 585 BC, but in 591 BC. From 586 BC back to 591 BC are five years. Back from 605 BC to 611 BC are 6 years to Nebuchadnezzar's first year in 611 BC.
Dates for the chronology of Nebucadnezzar should be corrected.
"Challenging assumptions: The 8.5-year rhythm of Earth's inner core"
Daniel 4:25 "That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."
There are about seven year missing from Nebucadnezzar's reign, and a further 13 years missing to the reign of Cyrus the great.
7 + 13 = 20 years, or 4 + 12 = 16 years, gap between Nebucadnezzar to Cyrus.
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
1:2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,"
611 BC = the 30th year of the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
610 BC was the fifth year of Jehoiachin from 614 BC.
This eclipse in the period of Odes from 493 BC. The total solar eclipse of November 24, 493 BC was 20% uncovered at Thebes, and thus not dark.
The total solar eclipse of August 3, 431 BC is the best match. Otherwise, this darkness record must be a sun miracle. God darkening the sun by moving the sun at the speed of light would be seen from the whole earth.
"Beam of the sun!
O thou that seest from afar, what will thou be devising?
O Mother of mine eyes!
O star supreme. Reft from us in the daytime!
Why hast thou perplexed the power of man and the way of wisdom?
By rushing forth in a darksome track?
Change this worldwide portent into some painless blessing for Thebes."
Pindar, Paean ix, translation Sandys. 1915. p.547-549.
"O star supreme." Venus?
"By rushing forth in a darksome track?" God moving the sun at the speed of light.
The solar eclipse of November 24, 493 BC:
"This can be easily eliminated because our calculations show at least 20% of the sun's disc remained uncovered at Thebes, and the sky would not have been darkened noticeably"
The Dating of Seven Classical Greek Eclipses. Harvard.edu
Thus, many of these solar eclipse records do not match the dates and may be dated several years more recent or be when God moved the sun, even when God moved the sun at the speed of light for the sun to appear dark, such as on the Passover.
Daniel 1:21 "And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus."
Daniel may have been born in 620 BC and be 18 years old when he had been taken captive with King Jehoiachin in 602 BC in Nebuchadnezzar's 9th year from 611 BC. Then 611 BC = "the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,"
From when Daniel was born to the first year of Cyrus the Great of Babylon in 527 BC = Daniel was almost 100 years old, and Daniel be 100 years old, when Cyrus died in 518 BC.
Daniel lived to the first year of Darius. This could be Darius I in 509 BC. So, from 620 BC to 507 BC means Daniel may haved lived to 113 years.
The death of Darius II's father Artaxerxes was supposed to be in 424 BC, but must be 9 years more recent and be September 19, 415 BC.
Daniel may have lived to Darius II, from 620 BC to 415 BC = 205 years.
Or, Daniel lived to the first year of Cyrus the younger about 400 BC.
"eclipses of the sun occurred with a frequency unrecorded"
The Landmark Thucydides, 1.23.3 - p.16.
This record during the Peloponnesian war, was not in 435 BC, but six years more recent from 429 BC and may include sun miracles as well as eclipses.
Artaxerxes I died just before a partial solar eclipse.
The solar eclipse on March 21, 424 BC was mistaken for the solar eclipse June 11, 418 BC = 40 years from 458 BC to 418 BC:
The solar eclipse for the last year of Artaxerxes. "In the first days of the next summer there was an eclipse of the sun, at the time of the new moon, and in the early part of the same month an earthquake."
The Landmark Thucydides. 4.52.1
June is the beginning of summer, not March.
The solar eclipse June 11, 418 BC = 6 years more recent than March 21, 424 BC:
Artaxerxes I may have reigned 41 years from 458 BC to 418 BC / 417 BC.
If this same year is Darius II in his first year - not 424 BC, but 7 years more recent, in 417 BC, Daniel may have lived 210 years, from 627 BC to 417 BC.
Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
The book of Daniel may have been written down at the time of Darius II. Thus, both Darius I and Darius II are recorded. Darius I was only 20 when he became king, not 62.
Daniel 6:3 "Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
6:4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him."
After Darius II took the kingdom Daniel was envied. After 413 BC several years is 407 BC.
The "Passover letter" written in Elephantine in the fifth year of Darius II, from 412 BC, not 419 BC from the fifth year of Darius II 423 BC, but the fifth year from 412 BC is 407 BC = 400 years to Jesus' birth.
Or, the fifth year of Darius II may be from 413 BC, Saturday, March 19, 409 BC = 9 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Daniel 6:28 "So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."
Or Daniel lived to the first year of Cyrus the younger, not 408 BC but 9 years more recent, in 399 BC and Daniel lived 230 years from 630 BC to 400 BC = the 230 years of Adam.
Daniel 12:13 "But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."
From 627 BC are 620 years to Jesus' birth. Back 40 years from 627 BC is 667 BC = 700 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Adam lived 230 years, from year 700 = 4668 BC to year 930 BC = 4438 BC.
Ezra 8:1 "These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
8:2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush."
Artaxerxes was the son of Xerxes, and was King 41 years from 458 BC to 417 BC. From 458 BC are 70 weeks of years, 490 years, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From the first jubile from 5358 BC are 100 X 49 year jubiles to 458 BC. From 458 BC = X 49 years = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From 5358 BC are 110 jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Counting from building the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD, Jerusalem should have known.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
"seventy weeks" = 70 X 7 = 490 years. 490 years from the building of the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC.
From the desacration of the Temple in 167 BC = 200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From the consecration of the temple at Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC are 4 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
Luke 19:41 "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."
There was a major earthquake in Greece, not in 465 BC, but 7 years more recent, in 458 BC. Thus, possibly there was a sun miracle in 458 BC.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
490 years back from 591 BC = the sabbath of the land, land not left fallow = 70 X 7 back is 1081 BC when David was king = the seventy years of captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC = 550 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. Then 490 years ahead from the building of the wall of Jerusalem from 458 BC is Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
"In the neighbouring province of Across-the-River, in Judah, there was discontent too, and the building of the Temple of Yahweh was delayed by a series of uprisings which were not really settled until the 440's BC."
Persians, Lloyd Llowellyn-Jones, The Age of the Great Kings. p.241.
440's BC is ten years too recent. The building of the wall of Jerusalem was in the 450's BC, in 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
"seven weeks" 7 X 7 = 49 years, one jubile, from seventy weeks = 458 BC. 458 BC - 49 years = 409 BC.
The Captivity was 70 years from 591 BC to 521 BC.
"In his 10th year, Luh-ch'ing, the viscount of Yu-yeuh died, and was succeeded by Puh-show."
The Chinese Classics
King Ching-Ting's first year was 467 BC (500 years to Jesus' sacrifice), his 10th year was 458 BC (490 years to Jesus' sacrifice). Jerusalem was walled in 458 BC.
Often a ruler died when there was a sun miracle. Thus a sun miracle in 468 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In his 7th year (from 467 BC = 461 BC), Seun Yaou of Tsin walled Nan-Leang."
Note. One copy adds: - "In the 20th year of Ch'uh of Tsin." (from 473 BC = 454 BC)
"His 2nd year (from 474 BC = 473 BC = the year before the battle of Salamis in 472 BC) was ting-maou, the first year of duke Ch'uh of Tsin."
"In his 4th year (from 474 BC = 471 BC = the year after the battle of Salamis), the State of Yuh-yueh extinguished that of Woo."
"His 16th year (from 467 BC = 452 BC) was the the 22nd year (from 474 BC) of duke Ch'uh of Tsin. In his 17th year (451 BC) the duke of Ch'uh of Tsin died.'"
The Chinese Classics, p.167.
458 BC was also the 20th year of Xerxes when Nehemiah walled Jerusalem.
From 468 BC and 467 BC is 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Nehemiah 2:1 "And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence."
12 years from this 458 BC = the first year of King Artaxerxes = the son of Xerxes = Xerxes died in his 21st year, the 14th lunar day = the full moon, the fifth lunar month, the 21st year of his reign, September 15, 458 BC. 12 years from 458 BC is 445 BC. 32 years from 458 BC is 426 BC.
"His first year (424 BC) was ping-shin (53d of cycle 60)"
Perhaps there was a sun miracle in Arxtaxerxes' 32nd year in 426 BC. Then China changed emperors in 424 BC.
Or from the first year of King Xerxes in 477 BC - 32 years also = 445 BC.
Xerxes died in his 21st year, 458 BC. The same year his son Artaxerxes became emperor. 458 BC to Jesus' sacrfifice April 3, 33 AD is 490 years. 458 BC wa a 49 year jubile.
The 20th year of Artaxerxes I from 458 BC would be 437 BC. 67 weeks, 67 X 7 = 469 years. 437 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is 469 years.
Nehemiah 2:13 "And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire."
Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."
Nehemiah 13:6 "But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:"
The 32nd year of Artaxerxes would be 426 BC. King K'aou of China died in his 15th year from 439 BC, in 425 BC.
Nehemiah 5:14 "Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor."
The twentieh year must be the twentieth year of Xerxes, the first year of Artaxerxes = 458 BC.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Seventy weeks = 70 X 7 = 490 years. From this 458 BC the wall was completed to Jesus' sacrifice is 490 years to April 3, 33 AD.
The two and thirtieth year may count from Xerxes and be this twelfth year of Artaxerxes. 458 - 12 = 446 BC. Often there was a sun miracle on years ending 45 BC = 38 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. The 38 years of Jesus' perfect life. Thus, this 446 BC and 445 BC.
The battle of Marathon in Darius I 31st year Friday, September 21, 480 BC = Jesus' birth Saturday, September 12, 7 BC = 35 years to this 445 BC. Jesus began his three and a half year ministry when he was 35 years old September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off.
9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,"
63 X 7 = 441 years. 441 - 32 = 409 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 49 years from 458 BC. 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Darius II reigned in 409 BC.
Sixty-two weeks is 434 years from the full moon and Passover, Sunday, April 2, 402 BC to Jesus' sacrifice on April 3, 33 AD.
There are 430 years from this 402 BC and the beginning of Jesus' ministry in September of 29 AD.
This should point to the desecration of the temple in 168 BC = half way from the seventh year, the year of release, 171 BC to the restoration of the temple in 164 BC = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
171 BC was a 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. 168 BC was 200 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 164 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
The midst of the week may be 423 BC. 70 weeks from 458 BC. 62 weeks and one week is 69 weeks, from 451 BC. Half way from 451 BC to 402 BC is 65 weeks, 423 BC.
The full moon on June 9, 411 BC, should be 11 years more recent the full moon on June 7, 400 BC.
Darius II reigned not from 423 BC, but 7 or 11 years more recent, from 416 BC or from 412 BC.
"the Four Hundred had managed to seize control of the Anthenian government.."
The History of the Peloponnesian War,
The full moon, the fifteenth lunar day, September 26, 402 BC would begin the feast of tabernacles. The blood moon of September 16, 5 BC, represented the blood of the priests Herod killed a few days before after the High Priest failed to perform the duty of Yom Kippur, the tenth lunar day, according to Josephus.
There was a lunar eclipse on July 29, 402 BC and on August 18, 404 BC:
"And this year ended.. Carthaginians..took Akragas (Sicily)..2 The following year during which there was an eclipse of the moon.one evening and the ancient temple of Athena caught fire.."
1.6.1b this eclipse took place on April 15, 406 BC.
The Landmark's Xenophon's Hellenika. 1.6.1 p.26.
Here are two likely prospects 9 years or 11 years more recent:
"His King Wei-leeh, first year was ping-shin (53d of cycle 60), 424 BC."
"His, King Ngan, first year was kang-shin (17th of cycle 60), 400 BC."
The Chinese often changed emperors when there was a sun miracle.
"Tensions came to a head, and, in 410 BC, on a day when a papyrus says the Persian governor was away, Egyptians demolished the Judean's temple (at Elephantine)"
Archaeology, September/October 2024. p.40.
410 BC must be about 400 BC. There may have been an omen in 400 BC of a sun miracle the Egyptians observed.
Jeremiah 39:8 "And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem."
Jerusalem was taken on September 7, 591 BC, and burned September 9, the 9th of Av. The walls rebuilt in 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice, 133 years later.
The first day of the week was Sunday = the resurrection Sunday after Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
However, more likely Joshua's long day was Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, and there possibly be a sudden sunrise on Sunday August 11, 1241 BC.
Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 may have resulted in the sun being moved 360° around the sun. Then there would be no need for a second sun miracle because earth would still be in a reverse orbit.
The second day, "which took it on the second day" followed was Monday = the second day of the week, probaby August 12, 1241 BC.
The sun may have rose in the east early and suddenly on the sabbath when Jericho fell, February 17, 1241 BC. May have, but more likely the sun moved two weeks earlier, February 4, 1241 BC. February 17 was 9 days from the Passover, Thursday, February 8, 1241 BC. Half an orbit after Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC was also on the sabbath, the sun and moon stood still at noon for 24 hours when the first quarter moon was in the east August 24, 1241 BC.
However, more likely the moon on Joshua's long day, was in the last quarter, 21 day moon, August 10, 1241 BC. The moon must be visible at noon, both the sun and moon in the eye of Joshua when he made his request to God, either the six day moon in the east or the 21 day moon in the west, when the sun stood in the middle of the sky at noon.
Then the sun may have returned one year later and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun, February 4, 1240 BC two years later, February 5, 1239 BC, on the first quarter moon = the sun on China on this western horizon and first quarter moon directly above.
Very likely there was two or three years of reverse orbit from February 4, 1242 BC to February 5, 1239 BC.
Joshua's long day either Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC day 33 of cycle 60, or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC day 19 of cycle 60 in China. Jesus went to the cross Friday, April 3, 33 AD on day 34 of cycle 60. Perhaps another parallel of Jesus' resurrection.
"Crack-making on day bingshen [33], in the evening: (Charge:) on the next ding [34] day we should perform a bi-sacrifice to the [Northern} Dipper (dou)."
[Heji, 21348
"Divined on day [18]: (Charge:) the Sun will have a blemish. (Verification:) Indeed there was a blemish. [Heji, 33700]
"Divined on day [18]: (Charge:) the Sun will have a blemish on the west. This is a calamity. (Verification:) Indeed there was a blemish. [Heji, 33704]
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.20.
Joshua's long day was day 19 of cycle 60 August 10, 1241 BC. This day 18 of cycle 60 may be the same day, and the noon day sun on Israel = the setting sun in the west on China. The sun standing still could give opportunity to look at the western setting sun in China, and perhaps the sun would look different when the sun stood still.
Here you can see the sun looking through obsidian. The ancient Greeks used obsidian both as a mirror and to look through the sun. Thus, the Chinese may look through obsidian to look at the sun. But do not look at the sun! It is very dangerous.
Here you can see the sun looking through a chelcedony stone:
1 Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
This glass could be looking at the sun through obsidian. The change to mirror from lens started with the Strong's concordance published in 1890.
1 Corinthians 13:12 "Now we see through a glass darkly (ev anigmati, in a riddle), then face to face; now we know in part, but then shall we know as we are known."
"Now we can only discern things at a great distance, as through a telescope, and that involved in clouds an obscurity."
Matthew Henry, 1 Corinthians 13
To see the sun in its glory, darkly, as through a glass of obsidian.
Most oracle bones were made during the reign of emperor Wuding from 1393 BC to 1343 BC. Although there were some oracle bone inscriptions later.
Nevertheless Joshua's long day most likely was the last quarter moon = moon over the Ajalon Valley in the west, the sun at noon above Gibeon, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC on day 19 of cycle 60.
When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, the Big Dipper would point up instead of down, or down instead of up.
The sun may have risen in the west about midnight 12 AM Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or 12 AM Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Joshua saw the enemy might get away. So when Joshua asked God to stop the sun, he did not refer to the perceived sun travels around the earth each day.
Job 38:13 "That it might take hold of the wings of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"
In the Dead Sea Scrolls from 100 BC this verse, "the wings of the earth" is preserved, The Targum of Job, (11Q10, 4Q157)
Job 26:7 "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."
No, Joshua knew earth orbited the sun.
How did Joshua know this day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC was at the half orbit point from February 4, 1241 BC when he and Israel crossed the river Jordan, when God may move the sun back, or around the earth for 24 hours to make up the 48 hours of sped up reverse orbit?
Perhaps Joshua did know. If there was a long day at the crossing of the river Jordan, Joshua would be very aware of a sun miracle. Joshua may be aware of sun miracles every six months during a reverse orbit.
Joshua may have known, this August 10, 1241 BC was the day.
People knew the earth was round by the time of Plato in the dialogue by Plato (427–347 BC) called the Phaedo (108e). Simply looking at a lunar eclipse, the earth's shadow from the sun on the moon is round = earth is round.
Aristarchus developed the sun centered theory in 310 BC.
Or this was a normal day, and Joshua saw the enemy might get away and asked God to move the sun with earth's rotation = to stand still from the half of heaven = the sun move from the one half of heaven back to the half of heaven. Earth already in a reverse orbit and Joshua chose the right day, or earth not in a reverse orbit, and this day August 10, 1241 BC be one and a half orbits, reverse orbits - to begin the reverse orbit and to continue in the reverse orbit to king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC when God would move the sun back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit.
Joshua's long day was in the summer of 1241 BC both because of the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and because of the 50 year jubile to 591 BC, 70 year captivity, 50 year jubiles again from 521 BC to 29 AD when Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur to fulfill Isaiah 61. And 49 year jubiles from the end of 1242 BC when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the River Jordan February 4, 1241 BC.
Frag. 12 .1 [the waters] which come down... 2 [...the waters] which come down stood piled up 3 [...the sons of Israel cr]ossed over when it was dry, in the 4[fi]rst month of the forty-fi[rst] year of their departure from the la[nd of] 5 Egypt; it was the year of the Jubilees at the start of their entry into the land of 6 Canaan; and Jordan was full with wat[er] towards all its banks and it flooded 7 [with] its water from the month... [...] until the month of the wheat harvest 8.......Israel"
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume 2. p.750
"the day they crossed the Jordan is the [x]th jubilee" = 1241 BC both the beginning of the 49 year jubile and the 50 year jubile.
That is, 1242 BC was the 49 year jubile, and 1241 BC was the 50 year jubile. The 49 year jubile would go on to Jesus' sacrifice. The 50 year jubile, with a 70 year correction at the captivity, would go on to the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
The 49 year jubile is to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. The 50 year jubile is on Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month, to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
From Adam in year 700, from 4672 BC to the crossing of the Jordan River February 4, 1241 BC is 70 X 49 year jubiles = 3430 years. 3430 years from 4672 BC = 1242 BC = the [x]th jubile = the 70th jubile. From 4672 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April, 3, 33 AD are 96 X 49 year jubiles.
The River Jordan flooded until the month of the wheat harvest in May. The text may refer to Barley harvest = the Passover and the seven days of unleavened Barley bread. The crossing of the Jordan was the 10th day of the first month, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC when was the highest flood. May was not the month they crossed the Jordan.
Joshua 3:16 "That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heapH5067 very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."
The word for heap, H5067 = mass of water, dam; heap of waters.
The word for very H3966 far away H7368 = be separated by a paticular interval, far away, at a distance.
To see a wall of water thirty miles away, thirty miles north of Jericho, that wall or dam of water would have to be some considerable height.
More likely that wall of water was at Jericho/Gilgal and the dam extended up to Zaretan and Adam.
Like the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea:
Exodus 14:22 "And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."
Half way up from Jericho to the sea of Galilee may have been Zaretan. The water may have formed a dam there at Jericho. The Jordan drops about 700 feet from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. The WAC Bennett Dam below is 600 feet high.
Psalm 89:25 "I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers."
"in the rivers" both the Reed Sea = the eastern fork of the Nile River, and the Jordan River.
Psalm 114:3 "The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
114:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?"
"The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs" This may be the day Gideon attacked the Midianites, chasing them down hill to cross the river Jordan = "the mountains skipped like rams"
Joshua 2:10 "For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed."
"the water of the Red sea" was the Reed Sea = the most eastern fork of the Nile river. Thus, the comparison the LORD dried up the river, the Reed Sea, and would dry up the river Jordan also for his people to cross.
Psalm 33:7 "He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses."
Joshua 2:24 "And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us."
Judges 7:14 "And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host."
Habakkuk 3:7 "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
3:8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?"
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
Habakkuk 3:15 "Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters."
Note the words Midian = Gideon fighting the Midianites, and the heap of waters = Israel crossing the Jordan = February 4, 1241 BC.
The earth may tremble when God moved the sun around the earth, as on Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC, this day Jonathon got the victory:
Here are many verses with the word tremble:
Deuteronomy 2:25 "This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee."

Jeremiah 51:29 "And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant."

Daniel 6:26 "I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end."
Hoseah 11:10 "They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west."
Hoseah 11:11 "They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD."

Amos 8:8 "Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
Habakkuk 3:7 "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble."
There may have been a sun miracle on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, on the fast Saul called for = the same sun seen in China the same day, September 4, 1122 BC.
1 Samuel 14:15 "And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling."
"12th year of Kang (from 1134 BC = 1122 BC), in the summer, in the sixth month, on the jin-shin day, 9th day of 60, in China, the king went to Fung. and gave his Charge to the duke of Peih. In Autumn duke E of Maou died."
The Chinese Classics. p. 148
"And as the report of Gideon's victory came to the Israelites, they took their weapons and pursued their enemies, and overtook them in a certain valley encompassed with torrents, a place where these could not get over; so they encompassed them, and slew them all, with their kings, Oreb and Zeeb."
Josephus
The Jordan River at full flood this February 4, 1241 BC. The dam and wall of water at Jericho. This still dam water rise up to Zeratan half way up the Jordan River. The torrent of the spring run off above this Zeratan. Thus, Gideon was able to trap the Midianites at the torrent and then cross at the still water further south, from the wall and dam of water backed up from Jericho.
Psalm 83:11 "MakeH7896 their noblesH5081 like Oreb,H6159 and like Zeeb:H2062 yea, allH3605 their princesH5257 as Zebah,H2078 and as Zalmunna:H6759"
Oreb is from H6150 meaning"dusky at sundown". Zeeb is from H2061 meaning "to be yellow". Zebah is from H2078 and H2076 meaning "to slaughter, to sacrifice." Zalmunna is from H6759 meaning "shade has been denied".
Thus, the names of these four kings speak of day and night, a battle at day and night.
January/February was the season of heavy rain. The Jordan would be in full flood in January/February. From this 1241 BC the caledar backs up one day every 128 years = 10 days in the Julian calendar. Then February 4, 1241 BC would be January 25 in our Gregorian calendar = the highest flood of the river Jordan.
Judges 7:22 "And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath."
Judges 7:24 "And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan."
Thus, the heap of the water of Jordan above Zererath "the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan" Ephraim cornered the Midianites in the flood waters that were backed up above Zererath, and Gideon and his men crossed the dry river bed of Jordan below Zererath.
More likely, the heap of water piled up on the right of the children of Israel as they crossed the Jordan river. Then, the water reservoir pushed far up to this Zererath. Then Gideon could cross on the still water from the dam. And the Midianites tried to cross further upstream and were caught in the mighty torrent of the flooding Jordan river.
Joshua 18:1 "And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
18:2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance."
Thus, Gideon and northern Israel may have been already in the north of Israel when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the dry river bed of Jordan = Gideon and his men may have crossed the dry river bed of Jordan, the heap of water above Zererath = Zaretan 35 miles north of Jericho.
Gideon lay in wait at the fjords. The Jordan may have been dry at the crossing of the river against Jericho. Then, there be a dam of water 100's of feet high there against Jericho that reached to Zarethan. For the dam of water to reach Zarethan the wall of water must be more than 100 feet tall. Then the Jordan below Adam and Zererath would be very wide, yet still.
The rushing flood torrent above the still waters that were damed would be harder to cross.
Zaretan and Zererath may be the same place mentioned the same time, meaning Joshua crossing the Jordan may be the same time Gideon crossed the river Jordan.
Exodus 17:5 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go."
Israel crossed the Reed Sea, not the Red Sea, part of the Nile River, as Israel also crossed the river Jordan.
"I continued walking along the shore of the Red Sea untill arriving at the branch of the Sea of Reeds which issues from the Red Sea,"
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume I, p.45.
Thus, the Reed Sea, a fresh water river to the north west of where is the Suez Canal.
"smotest the river" may refer to the river Nile in Exodus 4:9 or Exodus 14:21.
From the NASB Bible:
Exodus 15:8 "At the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up, The flowing waters stood up like a heap; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea."
Joshua 3:16b "rose up upon a heap very far above the city of Adam"
Probably, the river Jordan stood as a heap at the crossing of the Jordan against Jericho and Gilgal.
Thus, the children of Israel would see a great and high wall of water right beside them as the water rose, and they even be fearful to see such a high wall of water.
Joshua 3:16 may refer to the flood level rising so far up stream, 30 miles up stream. That is, at Adam and Zeratan at 30 miles north of Jericho water would back up.
Possibly for 30 miles the Jordan river be dry from the Dead Sea to Adam. Then the wall of water at Adam may have been seen from Mount Nebo.
However much more likely the waters piled up right beside the children of Israel as they crossed the Jordan on their right, and the backed up waters reach 30 miles upstream, and the height of the water be hundreds of feet high = 700 feet up from the Dead Sea to the sea of Galilee; half way up at Adam = 300 feet high. The words "a heap very far above the city of Adam" means the river may have been backed up even very much further up, even above the city of Adam. Then this wall of water at Gilgal, on the eastern edge of Jericho, may be higher than 300 feet.
"the waters which came down..stood piled up..the children of Israel crossed over when it was dry..in the first month of the forty-first year..of their departure from the land of Egypt; it was the year of Jubilees at the start of their entry of the land of Canaan; and the Jordan was full with water towards all its banks..and it flooded with its waters from the month..until the month of wheat harvest."
Dead Sea Scroll, 4Q379
That is, until the Barley harvest, four days after Israel crossed the river Jordan in full flood, February 4, 1241 BC, which was already at the Passover, February 8, 1241 BC.
The children of the tribe of Rueben would see the Jordan piled up in a heap 30 miles north of Jericho from mount Nebo.
Most likely the water made a wall of water beside the children of Israel when they crossed over Jordan, and that dam of water would be backed up to Adam and Zeratan 30 miles north.
North from Mount Nebo was where the children of Ammon lived in Judges 11:26. "twenty cities" Judges 11:33.
The green area is the Jordan river bottom, the flood plains, the area towards this Adam and Zeratan:
Joshua 4:12 "And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over by fifties, armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:"
Crossing the Jordan 50 at a time, one second at a time, 600,000 men = 2,000,000 people, would take eleven hours = all day. Eleven hours means the river rose to a very high heap. The river was already overflowing its banks.
Judges 7:22 "And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath."
Joshua 13:19 "And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,"
Zaretan, Zererath and Zarethshahar may be the same place. Then the flood would back up all the way to the Jabbok River three miles from Bethshean just below the sea of Galilee.
The settlements of the tribes of Rueben. Gad and the half tribe of Manessah, above the crossing of Jordan would be flooded. Jericho would not be flooded as Israel crossed directly towards Jericho. Gilgal, where Joshua and Israel would settle, most likely was flooded - possibly not too far north from Jericho.
Either the water piled up on their right as they crossed on dry ground and the water backed up 30 miles to Adam and Zeratan.
Or this heap of water was 30 miles north and dry ground all the way to Adam and Zeratan.
If you look 30 miles away you will know the heap of water had to be very high inorder to even see it.
Much more likely the wall of water began to build up right there opposite Jericho, and the children of Israel walked across on dry ground with a hundred or more feet of a wall of water on their right hand.
From Adam in year 700, 4672 BC is 70 X 49 year jubiles [x]th to Joshua crossing the Jordan in 1241 BC. Also, from 4672 BC are 94 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus fulfilling Isaiah 61 when he spoke in Luke 4 on September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
The Exodus was the full moon, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC because that was the end of the sothis cycle of 1456 years from 2737 BC. 40 years in the wilderness to 1241 BC.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years = no February 29. Then 4 X 365 = 1460 years to the reappearing of Sirius July 16, at 4:15 AM before sunrise. Then, the calendar at July 17, one day before July 16, is the end of the calendar four years early. Thus, from July 16, 2637 BC to July 17, 1281 BC is 1456 years, four years less than 1460. years.
Exodus 13:4 "This day came ye out in the month Abib."
"Abib" means green, spring. The spring equinox was March 30, 1281 BC Julian. Spring today is March 20. This Julian calendar backs up one day every 128 years. So from March 30 to March 20 is 10 days, 1281 years / 128 = 10 days. Thus, the Exodus on the spring equinox.
Also, the equinox makes an ideal time to move the sun to the other side of the earth. At the equinox God would not have to move the sun up or down when he moved the sun to the other side of the earth - to keep earth in the same season.
The full moon or the new moon on the spring equinox will produce the highest tides.
Likewise Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD was the 14th day of the month that started on spring, March 20, 33 AD.
"And in the sixth year of the third week of the forty-ninth jubilee thou didst depart and dwell in the land of Midian five weeks and one year. And thou didst return into Egypt in the second week in the second year in the fiftieth jubilee."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.158.
48 X 49 + 8 + 1 = 2361 years. 2307 BC + 2361 years = 4668 BC = year 700 of Adam from 5368 BC = the counting of the 49 year jubile in 4668 BC.
Moses at 40 years old fled from Pharaoh in 1321 BC = 1350 years to Jesus beginning his ministry reading Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. Jesus would be thirty-eight and a half years old when he gave his life, his sacrifiec.
Thus, Moses at 40 was about the same age as Jesus 38.5 years old.
68 X 49 = 3332 years from 4672 BC = 1340 BC = 19 more years to 1321 BC. Third week = 14, sixth year = 5; 14 + 5 = 19 more years to 1321 BC. The 49th jubile should be the 68th jubile. The third week starts after 14, then plus 5 = 19 more years; 3351 years from 4672 BC = 1321 BC exactly.
Ramses II held a jubilee in his 30th year from 1357 BC in 1327 BC, from then on every three years. His third jubilee would be this 1321 BC that would be 50 year jubiles to Jesus' begining his ministry September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
The battle of Kadesh, in Ramses II' 5th year, was supposed to be May 27, 1274 BC, but must be 76 years further back, on the new moon, May 27, 1350 BC. This battle is the most recorded of any ancient battle.
That year in 1321 BC, 76 years back from 1245 BC, Ramses II married a Hittite woman to make peace wth the Hitttites.
40 years later Moses returned to Egypt. Then was the Exodus in 1281 BC.
Then the fiftieth = 49 (fiftieth from 49 to 50) X 49.
This should be 69 jubiles, not 49 jubiles, a missing 20 jubiles. 49 + 20 = 60.
69 X 49 = 3381 years; 4668 BC - 3381 years = 1287 BC; second week = from 7 years, second year = 2 year = 1281 BC. To be exact from 4672 BC - 3381 years - 7 years - 2 year = 1282 BC - just before 1281 BC began in January that year.
From Yao in 2315 BC - 1029 years (21 X 49) = 1286 BC.
Chinese emperor Woo-Yih began about the spring of 1285 BC = 7 years back from 1278 BC, or at the total solar eclipse of June 15, 1284 BC.
About the same time in Egypt, Pharaoh Merneptah, at the dawn of a spring day, not 1209 BC but 76 years back, in about 1285 BC, unleashed his archers against the Libyans for six hours and routed the demoralized enemy.
A sun miracle in spring may be the Passover and be a noteable event in this 1285 BC.
The June 15, 1284 BC total solar eclipse you can see covered both China and Egypt:
However, there is nothing to say this battle had anything to do with a sun miracle. Nevertheless, Woo-Yih became emperor of China about this spring of 1285 BC.
The first year of Pharaoh Merneptah in 1291 BC would be a jubile year = both a 49 year jubile and a 50 year jubile as was the year of Joshua's long day 1241 BC. Thus 50 and 49 years later Joshua's conquest and Joshua's long day were in the Jubile year 1241 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrfice = the jubile recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls at the crossing of the Jordan river, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
Sun miracles were often in the spring often when there would be a new Chinese emperor. Emperors of China were often made when there was the omen of a sun miracle. This could be the dawn of a sun miracle, 1287 BC = 1280 years to Jesus' birth. Merneptah had a stele made about the same year:
Many, if not almost all, Chinese emperors began their reign in the spring. Many many emperors began their reign in a year X68 BC = a 50 year jubile, a 100 year cycle, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Sun miracles in year X68 BC pointed to Jesus' sacrifice.
The Merneptah Stele:
"The princes are prostrate, saying, "Peace!"
Not one is raising his head among the Nine Bows.
Now that Tehenu (Libya) has come to ruin,
Hatti is pacified;
The Canaan has been plundered into every sort of woe:
Ashkelon has been overcome;
Gezer has been captured;
Yano'am is made non-existent.
Israel is laid waste and his seed is not;
Hurru is become a widow because of Egypt."
"Israel is laid waste and his seed is not" Thus, there were Israelites in southern Israel that Pharaoh Merneptah destroyed. Then 46 years later, on Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, Joshua reclaimed the land, the south lands, for Israel.
The Merneptah Stele describes southern Israel as a rural community, not the conquerers from Joshua's long day.
This total solar eclipse of October 30, 1207 BC according to the false chronology would be just after this Merneptah stele in Merneptah's fifth year, which would be in 1210 BC.
However, Merneptah died not in 1205 BC, but 76 years earlier at the Exodus in 1281 BC.
There were Israelites already in the land in 1286 BC according to this stele.
Then, there also be Israelites in northern Israel.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
The Samaritans worshiped on mount Gerizim as in the Samaritan Pentacheuch, possibly from earliest times, before 1286 BC.
Joshua 10:13 "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
Joshua's long day is not a solar eclipse.
The solar eclipse is total in Israel just before sunset.
The sun stood still at noon, not sunset. The moon was visible - in a solar eclipse the moon is not visible but right infront of the sun, October 30, 1207 BC.
"35th year of king Wen of Zhou, 1st month, day bingzi 13, (September 23, 1205 BC) during worship of the full moon the king announced, 'The many...eclipses are untimely, you should begin planning for the succession.'"
Yi Zhou shu. Xiao kai jie. ch.17
Thus, there may have been sun miracles as well as eclipses, such as September 18, 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
This lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC would be easy to reproduce in a reverse orbit.
The solar eclipse of October 30, 1207 BC would be hard to reproduce if God had just moved the sun a month earlier, on September 18, 1207 BC.
If there were a sun miracle on what would be Jesus' birthday, the 17th day of the 7th month, September 19, 1207 BC, then there may not have been a solar eclipse October 30, 1207 BC because earth in a reverse orbit is hard to reproduce the solar eclipse that would have been.
From 4670 BC - 3381 years = 1289 BC, second week 1289 - 7; from 1282 BC, second year = 1281 BC.
From 4672 BC are 96 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus's sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD. The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. So counting the years by the sothis day is a difference of one day for 4672 BC and 4668 BC.
The life of Jesus back 38 years from this 4670 BC is 4707 BC = 4700 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Friday, May 17, 4707 BC was ten days after the spring equinox and the full moon. Jesus was crucified Friday, April 3, 33 AD 14 days after the spring equinox on the full moon. October 12, 4707 BC was the full moon = the 14th day, then the 17th day be Tuesday the third day of the week, October 15, 4707 BC. 4707 / 128 = 37 days back from our September 22 = October 28, 4707 BC was the fall equinox = about the same 10 days before the fall equinox, that is 13 days to October 28, 4707 BC; Jesus born September 12, 7 BC and the equinox 10 days later September 22, 7 BC.
Galatians 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"
Thus, Jesus' perfect life of 38 and a half years that redeems us.
From 5372 BC to 4672 BC are 700 years.
The 700 years, not 800 years, in the Septuagint:
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were seven hundred yearsG2094: and he begat sons and daughters:"
The word 700 is the same in Greek today. The word for year, G2094, Strong's definition is "a year".
G2094 ἔτος etos et'-os Apparently a primary word; a year: - year. Total KJV occurrences: 49
From 4568 BC are even 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, from 4572 BC are even 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry.
From Adam at year 700 is 4668 BC 700 years from 5368 BC.
Most of the jubiles of the Bible count from Adam in year 700 = 4668 BC = 4700 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. Thus, 4672 BC and 4668 BC may count for the same date for Adam in year 700. Then from 4672 BC are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD and 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry in October 7, 29 AD.
The model of moving the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit means - the earth must speed up 48 hours a reverse orbit year to keep 365 days in a year. The sun and planets can move back at the half orbit point and earth flow out of the reverse orbit as if nothing had happened. The planets appearing in the same night time hour in the reverse orbit would move back exactly 180° with the sun to be in their normal orbit. Thus, the half orbit, the 188 days / 365.24 days X 48 hours = 24:40 hours just like the Missing Day Story.
The same numbers and context: a missing 23 hours 20 minutes and the missing 40 minutes found.
From NASA's web site: "Most scientists draw a clear distinction between things that are taken on faith, and those that are testable and therefore falsifiable. Science deals with the latter, religion with the former." God leaves no evidence so we have to have faith. Nevertheless, lest sincere people should be deceived, this web page gives evidence of faith.
"The validity and predictive power of this equation are well documented and can be seen every day: a recent example was a lunar eclipse that was visible to much of the world last Sunday (March 24, 1997 AD). This calculation would not cover any time before the present."
Even if these calculations have been discovered here for the first time, they have as of now "occurred" and NASA's statement "(2) the Sun would have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still. There is no evidence of this occurring either." Yes, is truly what happened and there is much evidence of "this occurring" here on this webpage.
Religion or rather Christianity is not the former. There is faith on earth today. Christ offers hope now and for all eternity.
NASA also states on their web site:
"The major dynamic component of any planets orbital motion is determined by solving an equation (force is equal to the mass times acceleration). The validity and predictive power of this equation are well documented and can be seen every day."
God could easily predict where the planets should be for any date in the future. Thus, all God has to do is put the sun and the other planets back to where they would have been, at the half orbit or full orbit point, with one simple 180° movement, around the earth = earth is untouched, without a trace.
God may move Jupiter and Saturn almost two times around the earth for them to appear at the same part of the sky as they normally would through the year. This also means, that God may move them exactly 180° back at the half orbit and full year point, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit without a trace.
Then also, Jupiter and Saturn are so far away, God may leave them in their orbit - but guide them, and when God moved the sun back, Jupiter and Saturn would be where they would normally be.
God must move the moon to the other side of earth, then we would see the far side during earth's reverse orbit. Then God must move the moon 180° back and we see the same side we always see. Thus, God would not need to rotate the moon, which would be very difficult to do without disturbing the moon dust on the surface.
The real credit goes to Jesus who has guided me in all truth, and to God who gives the victory.
There is lots of work to be done as a Christian for those who do not mind who takes the credit.
The following article was copied from the "Evening Star", a newspaper located in Spencer, Indiana.
Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called myth in the bible is true?
Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development:
"I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now. We have to know this so we don't send a satellite up and have it bump into something later on in its orbit. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down. They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards.
They called in the service department to check it out and they said, "It's perfect." The head of operations said, "What's wrong?" "Well, we have found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time." They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. One religious fellow on the team said, "You know, one time when I was in Sunday School they talked about the sun standing still."
They didn't believe him, but they didn't have any other answer, so they said, "show us." He got a Bible and went back to the Book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for anybody who has "common sense." (Joshua 10: 8-14).
There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, for I have delivered them into your hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you." Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the sun to stand still. That's right- - - "The sun stood still and the moon stayed and hastened not to go down about a whole day."
The space men said, "There is the missing day."
They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close, but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes - not a whole day. They read the Bible and there it was "about" (approximately a day).
"These little words in the Bible are important. But they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits.
This religious fellow also remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The space men told him he was out of his mind. But, they got out the Book and read these words in II Kings. Hezekiah, on his death-bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for the sign of proof. Isaiah said, "Do you want the sun to go ahead ten degrees? Hezekiah said, "It's nothing for the sun to go ahead ten degrees, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees."
Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD. Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes. Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in II Kings (II Kings 20:1-11) make the missing 24 hours the space travelers had to log in the logbook as being the missing day in the universe.
Isn't that amazing!!

Harold Hill who wrote the Missing Day Story may have heard of NASA scientists discovering such a reverse orbit. He used Totten's book, published in 1890, instead. These may be the original NASA calculations in the Missing Day Story: If the sun moved 180° east to stand still in the sky for Joshua, that means the sun moved to the other side of the earth, which takes 12 hours, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit.
However, this 12 hours may be the battle of Merom February 4, 1240 BC and one year later on the same date be king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. King Wan's dream describes the sun in Virgo in Spring. The sun normally is in Virgo in August/September, 1239 BC. This is a detection of being 180° out, half a year out, not just a day out.
King Wan's dream probably was February 5, 1239 BC. Then the battle of Merom would be one year earlier, February 4, 1240 BC. The sun can move back and forth at each half orbit point.
However, the battle of Merom must be six months after Joshua's long day in August 10, 1241 BC six months later is February 5, 1240 BC. Then king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC would be a year later than the battle of Merom, perhaps on the day of another battle.
Some people in the south eastern states with the Hill last name are J1 Jewish ancestry from Abraham.
For the sun to be 180° out, a spring sun in the fall, the truth is blatant. Earth was in a reverse orbit, caused by the sun being moved to the other side of the earth. You will see earth sped up 48 hours a reverse orbit year. At the halfway mark, when the sun may move back as if nothing happened, and when the planets can move exactly 180° back as if nothing happened, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit, half of the 48 hours is about 24 hours. If you look at the details of the missing time of 23:20 hours that equal the sped up first half reverse orbit, then the missing 40 minutes in the sped up second half reverse orbit of 24:40 hours, you will see the Missing Day Story matches this model exactly, and thus is more likely, than not, a true story.
Upon reading the Chinese Classics it was easy for me to soon see God had moved the sun to the other side of earth, and earth had flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. In 2006 I began to doubt the Missing Day Story. Then said, wait a minute! If the sun moved back at the half orbit point, that half orbit should correspond to 23:20 hours of the 48 hour sped up reverse orbit.
When God wants to hide something, you can be looking right at it and not see it!
Very probably NASA discovered the same missing 23 hours and 20 minutes, the same elapsed 24 hours, elapsed time and missing time. Many people do not believe the Missing Day Story. But most probably the Missing Day Story is true.
Jesus' birth most likely was September 12, 7 BC, when the sun was in Virgo. Jesus was born of a virgin, Mary. Thus, also, on Joshua's long day perhaps August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, the sun would appear in Virgo. Jesus would be born in the month sheep are bred in Bethlehem in September. Thus, the significance of Virgo, Jesus born of a virgin. Thus, all these sun miracles point to Jesus.

Simply overhearing some gossip, he could quickly jump to conclusions. Hearing the right measurements given here, he may have mistakenly connected the 23:20 hours and 24:40 hours of Joshua with Charles Totten and Harry Rimmer.

Matthew 28:12 "And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
28:14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day."
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."
Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
Thus, the sun must have suddenly rose in the east a few hours after the sun set on Saturday. That is, the sun must have set in the east, then shortly rose in the east.
From the King James Version:
Matthew 28:8 "And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him."
From the English Standard Version:
Matthew 28:9 "And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him."
From the New American Standard Bible:
Matthew 28:9 "And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Rejoice!". And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him."
Thus, there must be a sun miracle on the resurrection morning, when also Jesus' disciples met Jesus after he rose from the dead. Then also Jesus' disciples saw Jesus long before the soldiers gave their false story.
Psalm 30:5 "For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
Acts 26:23 "That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles."
The phoenix was the angel that moved the sun. The phoenix never dies but is reborn from the ashes of the sun. Thus, the sun rose on Jesus' resurrection morning.
Job 29:18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the phoenix."
Obadiah 1:4 "Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD."
Again, the phoenix has its nest in the stars.
Thus, Christians now know the truth about the Missing Day Story. Even if NASA did not find it, the model here stands on its own. Simply, if God moved the sun to the other side of earth, earth's reverse orbit has to be sped up 48 hours or we would have 367 days that year. To counter the missing 48 hours, the sun has to stand still in the sky for a total of 48 hours that year.
The sun should stand still for 24 hours of elapsed time at the half orbit point. The same missing time of 23:20 hours at the half orbit point.
In 1917 it was noticed Mercury's orbit could not be explained without Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Mercury has an elliptical orbit that shifts each Mercury year. In 1917 it was noticed that Newton's laws of gravity from other planets affecting Mercury could not explain this shift of Mercury's orbit.
Perihelion precession for Mercury takes 250,000 years.
Satellites that give us GPS coordinates must have a clock adjusted to Relativity or the locations on earth would be out many hundreds of meters.
"We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down."
Einstein's theory of Relativity had to be tested. Thus the words "so the whole thing will not bog down". Satellites usually do not go very far from earth. Nevertheless, we have to adjust the clocks of GPS satellites or their GPS readings will be many hundreds of meters out. And some satellites are sent far out into the solar system.
Gravity Probe B satellite was sent up in 2004 to test Einstein's theory of relativity. From the Missing Day Story: "We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down."
"Total cost of the Gravity Probe B satellite project was about $750 million".
Largest ever dark matter map suggests Einstein theory may have been wrong.
Thus the reason "We have to lay out the orbits".

One religious fellow on the team said, "You know, one time when I was in Sunday School.."
The service department may say "It's perfect" because earth in a reverse orbit was guided perfectly as if it was in a normal orbit.
"They were checking the position of the sun, moon and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now." All these dates of changes of Chinese emperors and dates of sun miracles ending in years X68 BC and X07 BC in even 100 years point to Jesus' birth and death.
On February 5, 1239 BC Jupiter would be visible in the west above the setting sun. Jupiter would not be visible behind the sun February 16, 1240 BC. Thus, king Wan's dream again more likely was February 5, 1239 BC.

See "The Harmony of Science and Scripture" by Harry Rimmer, Modern Science and the Long Day of Joshua:
The date given, July 22, 1475 BC was a Tuesday, the last quarter of the lunar month. Reckoning back the day Wednesday the day of battle. Thus, a missing day. These dates are accurate on any planetarium software, but were only a calculated guess. The real Joshua's Long Day, backed up by many records and chronology, was in the summer of 1241 BC, probably August 10, 1241 BC.
The right year of Joshua's conquest was 1241 BC. Using the same method as the above estimation, the last quarter moon = the moon over the Ajalon Valley when the sun was above Gibeon at noon, July 22, 1475 BC is this same August 10, 1241 BC.
Joshua's long day may have been on the last quarter moon, but in 1241 BC not 1475 BC, not July 22 but August 10; = the moon in the west over the valley of Ajalon when the sun was standing still at noon above Gibeon, and be Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Joshua chose the 21st day of the seventh month. Joshua probably knew there are 186.6 days from the spring equinox to the fall equinox.
Joshua probably knew about past sun miracles from Egypt. Then Joshua would know there be sun miracles every six months, even to the day expected, and know on this, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC was half an orbit after Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan, possibly on a long day - a sun miracle, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
Joshua was already prepared to ask God to make the sun stand still = their shade is taken away, at the first attempt to conquer the promised land in 1280 BC.
Then Joshua may be very familiar with sun miracles.
The sun be at noon and the moon on the western horizon above the Ajalon valley and the Mediterranean Sea, when Joshua made his request. Thus, they would see the moon pass westward all day long. Thus, the picture of the moon in the west and the sun at noon.
"There is a book by Prof. C. A. Totten of Yale, written in 1890, which establishes the case beyond the shadow of doubt. The condensed account of his book, briefly summarized, is as follows:
Professor Totten wrote of a fellow-professor, an accomplished astronomer, who made the strange discovery that the earth was twenty-four hours out of schedule! That is to say, there had been twenty-four hours lost out of time. In discussing this point with his fellow professors, Professor Totten challenged this man to investigate the question of the inspiration of the Bible. He said, "You do not believe the Bible to be the Word of God, and I do. Now here is a fine opportunity to prove whether or not the Bible is inspired. You begin to read at the very beginning and read as far as need be, and see if the Bible can account for your missing time."
The astronomer accepted the challenge and began to read. Some time later, when the two men chanced to meet on campus, Professor Totten asked his friend if he had proved the question to his satisfaction. His colleague replied, "I believe I have definitely proved that the Bible is not the Word of God. In the tenth chapter of Joshua, I found the missing twenty-four hours accounted for. Then I went back and checked up on my figures, and found that at the time of Joshua there were only twenty-three hours and twenty minutes lost. If the Bible made a mistake of forty minutes, it is not the Book of God!"
Professor Totten said, "You are right, in part at least. But does the Bible say that a whole day was lost at the time of Joshua?" So they looked and saw that the text said, "about the space of a whole day."
The word "about" changed the whole situation, and the astronomer took up his reading again. He read on until he came to the twenty-eighth chapter of the prophet Isaiah. In this chapter, Isaiah has left us the thrilling story of the king, Hezekiah, who was sick unto death. In response to his prayer, God promised to add fifteen more years to his life. To confirm the truth of His promise, God offered a sign.
He said, "Go out in the court and look at the sundial of Ahaz. I will make the shadow on the sundial back up ten degrees!" Isaiah recounts that the king looked, and while he looked, the shadow turned backward ten degrees, by which degrees it had already gone down! This settles the case, for ten degrees on the sundial is forty minutes on the face of the clock! So the accuracy of the Bible was established to the satisfaction of this exacting critic."
The Harmony of Science and Scripture" by Harry Rimmer, Modern Science and the Long Day of Joshua
The Missing Day Story uses the same 23 hours and 20 minutes as Rimmer and Totten. However, the elapsed time and the missing time lead me to suspect a grain of truth. Sure, Joshua's long day would be described as 24 hours of elapsed time. But to know there would be missing time, such as from a sped up reverse orbit to counter the elapsed time, would require one to uncover this basic model presented here.
The twenty-eighth chapter of Isaiah should be the thirty-eighth chapter of Isaiah.
Nevertheless, the reference to Gibeon is a reference to Joshua's long day, and to David's battle at Perazim and Gibeon.
2 Samuel 5:20 "And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim."
Isaiah 28:21 "For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act."
Isaiah 38:8 "Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down."
The ten degrees of Hezekiah is a King James misprint. This is not 40 minutes back into another time zone, not 40 minutes east into the 60 minutes of a time zone. In no way did the sun only back up 10 degrees of a 360 degree circle. The Hebrew states the shadow retreated ten steps of the sundial to the eastern horizon, either 90° or 180°. Ten steps probably means ten hours. The sundial at Jerusalem would only make a shadow an hour after sun rise and an hour before sunset. Thus, 10 steps is ten hours = the whole sky.
The ten degrees of Hezekiah may mean ten decans of a 360° circle = 90° - the sun retreat from the noon position ten decans to the eastern horizon.
Hezekiah Bulla Found The King's seal, a sun with wings. The rays may be lines on Ahaz's sun dial.
Then the ten steps of Hezekiah connected to Joshua's long day in the Missing Day Story are accurate. Both because the day of Joshua's long day the sun must rise in the west and set in the east = the shadow retreat ten steps= the whole sky, and because, Joshua's long day must be short 40 minutes = ten degrees, that is regained when the sun moved back 190°, that is ten degrees more than 180° not six months later = the next chapter of Joshua 11 = the battle of Merom = but one and a half orbits later, February 5, 1239 BC the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Nevertheless, Joshua's long day may have been a normal day. (1) Joshua may have picked the right day half an orbit after the crossing of the river Jordan. (2) Or the day Joshua chose to ask God to make the sun stand still in the sky may have been the first sun miracle when the sun was moved to the other side of the earth in 12 hours and one and a half years later God moved the sun back on king Wan's dream.
Even king Wan's dream one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day may have been this extra 10° = this same 40 missing minutes.
Isaiah 38:8 "Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down."
John 1:39 "He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour."
There may be 12 hours on a sundial of 180°.
John 11:9 "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world."
Psalm 125:2 "As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever."
The hills around Jerusalem mean a sundial at the temple would only show a shadow after the first hour of sun rise at the horizon in the east. Likewise the sundial would not show a shadow an hour before the sun set on the horizon in the west. Thus, ten steps on the upper sundial of Ahaz should be ten hours.
Totten wrote: "Now here is a fine opportunity to prove whether or not the Bible is inspired"
John 7:23 "If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?"
John 10:35 "If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;"
Psalm 82:5 "They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."
"all the foundations of the earth are out of course" may refer to earth in a reverse orbit.
Rimmer's reference to Isaiah 28 instead of Isaiah 38 may not be a misprint:
Isaiah 28:21 "For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act."
Isaiah 28:21 "For the LORD will arise as on the hill of Perazim, He will rouse Himself as in the vale of Gibeon, To do his work - Strange is his work! And to perform His task - Astounding is his task!"
"wroth" means to quake shake or tremble. Thus, when God moved the sun the earth would quake.
Isaiah 38:8 "Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down."
Isaiah twenty-eight refers to Joshua's long day and a sun miracle of David when David became King. Isaiah thirty-eight refers to Hezekiah's sign. Thus, there may be parallels with Joshua's long day and Hezekiah's sign in the writings of Isaiah. Thus, it is not unreasonable to complete Joshua's long day with the writings of Isaiah.
Joshua 9:27 "And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose."
The altar was to be at Gibeon.
2 Samuel 5:20 "And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim."
2 Samuel 6:6 "And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day."
1 Chronicles 15:2 "Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever."
Deuteronomy 31:9 "And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel."
The ark was meant to be carried by two priests, two and two.
1 Kings 8:1 "Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
8:2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
8:3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
8:4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up."
Luke 10:1 "After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come."
Perez means breach. Baalperazim = sun breaches, the two times David fought against the Philistines there that year. The ark may have been brought from Gibeon, the same place as Joshua's long day = Joshua 10:12b "Sun stand thou upon Gibeon".
1 Kings 3:4 "And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar"
1 Kings 9:2 "That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon."
1 Chronicles 21:29 "For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon."
"as in the valley of Gibeon"
If NASA used the data used here, they would get the same missing 23 hours and 20 minutes. Thus, even though the 40 minutes accrued to Isaiah are in error, there are still 40 minutes missing at Joshua's long day that are not regained till king Wan's dream half an orbit later February 16, 1240 BC or one and a half orbits later February 5, 1239 BC.
All depending on king Wan's dream February 16, 1240 BC or February 5, 1239 BC = and again on king Wan's 35th year, or 35 years to, the lunar eclipse, on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC = his first year six day moon in the first month of spring in February 16, 1240 BC or February 5, 1239 BC.
At a local astronomy presentation for ocrasc.ca in Kelowna by Richard Federley, who was a candidate to become a Canadian astronaut, Richard stated astronauts are selected out of thousands of applicants, based partly on their ability to solve problems quickly. He said the astronauts and space scientists can solve any problem easily. They can communicate well. So, they can tackle any problem together. They have to be. The demands of an astronaut are tremendous.
Thus, the same 23 hours and 20 minutes, 24 hours and 40 minutes, thus the missing ten degrees = this same 40 minutes. The sun stand still for 12 hours at noon Israel = 180°, then the sun retreat 10° to the east = from the 12 PM position to the 11:20 AM position in Israel, (and rise 10° from the western horizon in China on king Wan) = the missing 40 minutes!
So, if I can solve this same missing day over a period of many years, the spacemen at NASA could do the same in a very short time.
The NASA astronauts and spacemen would need to see a record pointing to a reverse zodiac, reverse orbit. Shortly they would realize a half reverse orbit must be sped up 24 hours. Then they would realize they were missing this same 24 hours.
A whole year of a reverse orbit must have 48 hours of missing time to still have 365 days in a year because rotation was against orbit. From the spring equinox to the fall equinox are 187 days, from the fall equinox to the spring equinox are 178 days. The sped up spring/summer orbit = 23 hours and 20 minutes! Then they would see they were still missing 40 minutes.
Then they would see the missing ten degrees, 40 minutes, when the sun returned one year later, in the second half reverse orbit when the sun returned in king Wan's dream.
"The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards."
According to king Wan's dream: If straight up at sunset is Fang/Scorpius, then the sun is in Virgo. If this is the first month of spring, this cannot be! If the prevailing notion is that spring is in the east, like a clock, when earth normally orbits the sun counterclockwise = spring in the west, this again cannot be! Either record entered into a computer cannot work.
Picture a clock, the third hour is like the third month March. But earth orbits the sun counterclockwise. So the third month is the opposite side = the west.
If the sun was moved to the other side of earth in March, earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Spring would be to the east of "the clock". Normally spring is in the west. The day progresses from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west. But the zodiac progresses from the west to the east because earth orbits the sun counterclockwise. So for the zodiac to progress like the day, the sun must be moved to the other side of the earth and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
They called in the service department to check it out and they said, "It's perfect." The head of operations said, "What's wrong?" "Well, we have found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time." They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. One religious fellow on the team said, "You know, one time when I was in Sunday School they talked about the sun standing still."
If only a few words of gossip from NASA were overheard by Harold Hill, they may have been repeated from the discovery of the reverse orbit and king Wan's dream in the Chinese Classics. The reverse orbit in the Chinese Classics would have to be thoroughly investigated till all the details were accounted for. An example complete reverse orbit of Joshua's long day and king Wan's dream the same year would complete the details of a one year reverse orbit.
King Wan's dream one and a half years, one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day, would also complete the details of a two or three year reverse orbit. And thus satisfy the concerns of the space mission.
Paul in Hebrews stated Joshua did not give Israel rest on the Sabbath day.
Hebrews 4:4 "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works."
Hebrews 4:8 "For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
That is, "if Joshua had given them complete rest,"
Jesus is a misprint. This verse is speaking about Joshua who wrote the book of Joshua. The day Paul is speaking about was a Sabbath = Saturday when Israel should have rest but was in battle, and Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still = even less rest to battle for 24 more hours than a normal 12 hour day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Acts 7:45 "Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;"
Again, Jesus is a misprint. This was Joshua who brought the children of Israel into the promised land.
The day of rest was Saturday.
A long day at the crossing of the river Jordan, on the 10th day of the first month, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC is 188 days to Joshua's long day, the Sabbath, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, on the 21st day of the seventh month. 188/365 X 48 hours = 24 hours and 40 minutes.
Nevertheless, a sun miracle at the crossing of the Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day half an orbit later, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. And the sun return Februrary 5, 1239 BC.
Only this spring to fall reverse orbit was the slow half year reverse orbit and would be 23 hours and 20 minutes. Thus, the spacemen would get to Joshua's long day and still be missing 40 minutes. The second half orbit to February 4, 1240 BC, and one and a half orbits later, to February 5, 1239 BC: 178/365 X 48 hours = 23 hours and 20 minutes. The second half reverse orbit is the faster half. The missing time, sped up half reverse orbit, would be 24 hours and 40 minutes.
Joshua's long day on the Sabbath, Saturday, August 10, 1241 was the major battle.
Gideon's battle may have started at the middle watch at night, Saturday February 3, 1241 BC = the dawning of the day the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
NASA cannot even answer the record of king Wan's dream one and a half years after Joshua's long day, on February 5, 1239 BC, when the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit.
I emailed NASA the following question, July 29, 2014:
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow p.143, The Chinese Classics.
The male phoenix is the sun phoenix the yang. The female phoenix is the moon phoenix the yin.
The sun in Spring/February is in Pisces, the western sky at sunset is in Taurus not Scorpius/Fang. Did God move the sun to the other side of earth? http://sunnyokanagan.com/joshua/long.html

Hi, and thanks for your question.
I'm afraid while you selected "Relativity" as a category on our web page, this question is a closer fit to the category "Night Sky".
Nevertheless, since we're not familiar with the text you refer to --- and since it appears that the astronomical statement is part of a dream rather than an actual documented observation --- we can't give you a useful answer.
Bernard & Ira
for Ask an Astrophysicist
The first quarter moon, the six day moon, is straight above at sunset. If Fang/Scorpius is straight above at sunset - in spring! the sun is in Virgo at sunset!
The sun has to be in Pisces in spring - 180° away from Virgo!
February 5, 1239 BC was the six day moon in China and the first of the 35th year of king Wan it the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC. Thus, Joshua's long day most likely would be Saturday August 10, 1241 BC. Thus king Wan's dream and Joshua's long day are connected and these be the real dates in NASA's Missing Day Story.
All NASA would need was the date of king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC and the year of Joshua's long day 1241 BC. The assumption the death of Seti I in 1281 BC at the Exodus, or the right calculations here the death of Merneptah in 1281 BC, 40 years in the wilderness to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC. Sun miracles at the half orbit points and NASA could figure out Joshua's long day.
This is the real thing. I cannot get a reasonable answer from NASA. At least I can please God!
John 5:44 "How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?"
God moving the sun is high energy = Relativity. Further if God moved the sun around the earth near the speed of light, 670,616,629 miles per hour, to make the sun dark when Jesus was on the cross, this is relativity!
One circle around the earth would be 580,000,000 miles compared to the speed of light, 670,616,629 miles per hour. The difference, the sun completing 360° five minutes sooner, equals the sun's shadow at noon when Jesus was on the cross, the sun revolve around the earth at the speed of light, then the sun appear again at the 3 PM shadow on the sundial, 5 minutes of 60 equals two hours of 24, plus the current hour = 3 PM, darkness from the sixth hour was darkness to the ninth hour = 3 PM.
Luke 23:44 "And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."
The sixth hour of the day was noon. The ninth hour of the day was 3 PM.
Moreover, God must move the sun 99.999% of the speed of light = very near the speed of light, to make the sun totally dark.
At 99.999% of the speed of light only 15 seconds would pass moving the sun 360° around the earth for one hour. The sun would be dimmed 1/224 = dividing by 224. Approaching the speed of light the sun would be dark.
The sun is about magnitude 25. Every 5 magnitudes is 100%. Divide 25 by 5 is dividing by 500. Then to move the sun at 99.9999% of the speed of light. Then the sun would appear about as bright as the star Arcturus, only redder, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere.
Because of dilation, the sun at the brightness of the star Arcturus would also appear the size of Arcturus, only dilation in the direction of travel would mean the sun would appear like a red line. The noon day sun setting suddenly in the west at the speed of light would take about 16 minutes = 16 minutes to set, and passing over China in 360° to set in the west on China one hour later = the 3 PM position on Israel, when the sun would appear as bright as normal.
Here you can see the sun would appear as a red line, perhaps matching the Chinese record "with red lines on its back,"
By Prokaryotic Caspase Homolog - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=73559502 - does not mean he endorses this page.
Here you see a Hubble Space Telescope image towards the beginning of the universe. You can see the lens affect from a background galaxy, like the letter C or the letter O. This is different than dilation above, yet it demonstrates extreme relativity.
Thus you can see what the sun would look like if moved very fast around the earth = red. Thus, you can see what the sun would look like if earth was moved very fast around the sun = blue.
NASA, Sean Scully, emailed me in 1996 if earth was moved very fast around the earth to make the sun stand still in the sky we would see something very different. Perhaps we would see a blue sun.
"On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213.
"Einstein was right. Flying clocks around the world in opposite directions proved it."
The sun appearing purple may also appear blue. The sun would appear blue if the earth were moved around the sun at 20 million miles per hour with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky.
Also, there is a difference moving the sun east or west around the earth. Moving the sun east God may need to dim the sun. Moving the sun west God may need to brighten the sun.
"On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213.
As the earth passes the planets they appear to move back about 10°, and is taken to explain "planets moved in retrograde".
With the earth in a reverse orbit of the sun the orbits of the five planets would appear in reverse too. Either the outer planets, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were moved two times around the earth yearly to appear above as normal in their seasons, or like Jupiter in 103 BC, were left in place, only Jupiter falling back one zodiacal sign a year as earth orbited the sun in reverse.
The planets move in retrograde all the time.
For the scribe to bother to record that "Five planets moved in retrograde" must mean God moved the sun to the other side of earth, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. With earth in revese, everything else would appear in reverse too.
For it to be stated: "Five planets moved in retrograde" must refer to earth in a reverse orbit, whether the planets were moved or not.
If the last day of the 12th month was December 13, 142 BC, then two and a half an orbits later, 2 X 365 + 180 days later, is Sunday, June 11, 139 BC when the sun came out at night, is when the sun may move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
One and a half years later was the 18th day of the seventh month, August 15, 140 BC, the 172nd Seleucid year from 312 BC. "The Jews and the priests have resolved that Simon should be their leader and high priest forever, until a trust worthy prophet arise"
1 Maccabees 14:27-45, NRSV
164 BC was a 49 year jubile. 140 BC was a seven year fallow year, 14 years later.
The 18th of Elul, the sixth lunar month, may be like the 17th day of the seventh month September 12, 7 BC when Jesus may have been born.
I asked NASA in about January of 1996 if earth was moved around the sun would the sun stand still in the sky? The answer by Sean Scully was earth would have seen something very different but did not say what would be different.
If God moved the earth around the sun in 24 hours, one side would face the sun for 24 hours = the sun standing still in the sky for 24 hours and earth's rotation unaffected.
God could speed up earth's orbit instantly to 20 million miles per hour from its orbit of 60,000 miles per hour in the same direction of orbit, then 24 hours later, 360° later, slow earth's orbit instantly to 60,000 miles per hour again, and the sun would stand at the noon position for 24 hours.
Earth travels around the sun at 30 kilometers, 18 miles, per second.
However, God moving the sun with earth's rotation would not affect the earth. Moving the earth instantly at 20 million miles per hour would affect the earth.
Likewise, stopping earth's rotation would endanger a fragile earth.
The sun is one million times bigger than the earth. So, asteroid impacts to the sun moving at 20 million miles per hour would easily be absorbed by the sun. Even God moving the sun near the speed of light around the earth, the sun could absorb small asteroid impacts.
Moving the earth at 20 million miles per hour to keep the sun at the noon position for 24 hours, the earth would collide with asteriods at 20 million miles per hour too. Earthquakes would likely be very severe. The risk to life on earth would be very great. The immediate acceleration may also be felt.
An object as small as a needle or a large grain of sand traveling near the speed of light would hit the earth with the magnitude of two times the force of the nuclear bomb of Nagasaki Japan.
The sun being moved at the speed of light would hit the grains of asteroids with a big impact. Yet the sun is one million times larger than the earth, and impacts may have been absorbed, or God moved everything out of the way of the sun.
Moving the sun would hardly affect the earth at all. Only there would be small earthquakes that were hardly more severe than normal. And small earthquakes at times of sun movements were recorded.
Thus, "earth would see something very different." And thus, there are only two possibilities, earth stopped rotating for 24 hours or God moved the sun around the earth 360° for 24 hours.
Thus NASA said there are only two possibilities, stopping earth's rotation or moving the sun in a specific way = only one possibility - moving the sun around the earth in a very specific way so as the sun would appear to stand still in the sky as seen from a spinning earth.
This is not stopping earth's orbit and reversing earth's orbit.
Move the sun to the other side of earth, and earth will flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
The many times earth was recorded in a reverse zodiak appear to mean the sun was moved to the other side of the earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
This means God must have moved the sun, and half an orbit later, and one year later, moved the sun back again.
With earth's rotation opposite the direction of its orbit in the reverse orbit, earth would tend to draw nearer to the sun each year. Earth's reverse orbit must be controled exactly as it would orbit normally.
Neverthless, earth may not have been moved at all. Yes, earth's reverse orbit must be guided, but earth not be moved. Every sun miracle may simply involve God moving the sun to the other side of the earth, and earth flowing into, and the sun back and earth flowing out of the reverse orbit of the sun. God may have moved the sun 360° around the earth at any time - only there should be sped up time in a reverse orbit to counter the elapsed time.
"In his 70th year, in spring, the first month, he caused the chief of the four mountains to convey to Shun of Yu his charge to succeed to the throne.
Note: when the emperor had been on the throne for 70 years, a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih, and phoenixes appeared in the courtyards of the palace; the pearl grass grew..the sun and moon appeared like a pair of gems, and the five planets looked like threaded pearls..when the flooded waters were assuaged, the emperor, attributing the merit of that to Shun, wished to resign in his favour..Among the islets of the Ho, there were five old men walking about, who were the spirits of the five planets. They said to one another, 'The river scheme will come and tell the emperor of the time. He who knows us is the doubled pupil yellow Yaou.'
The five old men on this flew away like flowing stars and ascended in the constellation Maou (Taurus). On the 2nd month, in the sin-chow day, between the dark and the light, the ceremonies were all prepared; and when the day began to decline, a gorgeous light came forth from the Ho, and 'beautiful vapours filled all the horizon; white clouds rose up, and returning winds blew all about. Then a dragon horse appeared, bearing in his mouth a scaly cuirass, with red lines on a green ground, ascended the altar, laid down the scheme and went away. The cuirass was like a tortoise shell, nine cubits broad. The scheme contained a tally of white gem, in a casket of a red gem, covered with yellow gold, and bound with a green string. On the tally were the words, 'With pleased countenance given to the emperor Shun.'
It said also that Yu and Hea should receive the appointment of Heaven... Two years afterwards, in the 2nd month, he led out all his ministers, and dropped a peih in the Lo. The ceremony over, he retired, and waited for the decline of the day, Then a red light appeared; a tortoise rose from the waters, with writing with red lines on its back, and rested on the altar. The writing said that he should resign the throne to Shun, which accordingly the emperor did."
The Chinese Classics. p.113.
The five old men were the five planets. They flowed away because when God moved the sun He had to move the planets also.
"In his (Shun's) 14th year auspicious clouds appeared; and he ordered Yu to consult about affairs for him."
Note: "In the 14th year of Shun's reign, 2207 BC, at a grand performance with bells, musical stones, organs and flutes, before the service was concluded, there came a great strorm of thunder and rain. A violent wind overthrew houses, and tore up trees. The drumsticks and drums were scattered on the ground, and the bells and stones cast about confusedly. The dancers fell prostrate and the director of the music ran madly away; but Shun keeping hold of the frames from which the bells and stones were suspended, laughed and said, 'How clear it is that the empire is not one man's empire! It is signified by these bells, stones, organs, and flutes.'
On this he presented Yu to Heaven, and made him perform actions proper to the emperor; whereupon harmonious vapours responded on all sides, and felicitous clouds were seen. They were like smoke, and yet not smoke; like clouds and yet not clouds; brilliantly confused; twisting and whirling. The officers in mutual harmony sang of those felicitous clouds, the emperor thus leading them on: - How bright are ye, felicitous clouds! In what order are ye gathered together!
The brightness of the sun and moon is repeated from morn to morn. All the ministers then advanced, and bowing low, said: - 'Brilliant are the heavens above. Whereupon the shining stars are arranged. The brightness of the sun and moon enlarge our one man.' The emperor sang again 'The sun and moon are constant; the stars and the other heavenly bodies have their motions. The four seasons observe their rule.
The people are sincere in all their services. When I think of music, The intelligences that respond to Heaven Seem to be transferred to the sages and worthies. All things listen to it. How do its rolling sounds thrill! How does it inspire the dance!'
When the essential brightness was exhausted, the clouds shriveled up and disappeared. Thereupon the eight winds all blew genially, and other felicitious clouds collected in masses. The crouching dragons came hurridly out of their dens; iguanadons and fishes leaped up from their deeps. Tortoises and turtles came out from their holes, removing from Yu to serve Hea. Shun then raised an altar to the Ho, as Yaou had done before.
When the day declined there came a fine and glorious light; and a yellow dragon issued and came to the altar, bearing a scheme on its back, 32 cubits long and 9 cubits broad, in lines of red and green intermingled. The words of which were that he should resign in favour of Yu."
The Chinese Classics. p.116.
The word Peih occurs lots in Chinese history.
"dropped a peih in Lo" The character for peih is in the middle:
Here you can see several peihs, between 14 inches and six inches across:
Here you can see a small jade peih. The King of China would covet the largest jade peih, about six inches across.
"T'ang came east to Lo, to see the altar of Yaou. He dropped a gem in the water, and stood at some distance. Lo! yellow fishes leaped up in pairs; a black bird followed him, and stood on the altar, where it changed into a black gem. There was also a black tortoise, with red lines forming characters, which said that Kee of Hea was unprincipled, and that T'ang should supersede him...When T'ang was about to put Kee away, in reverence of the command of Heaven, he dreamed he went to the sky, and licked it. After this he became possessor of the empire. The people of Shang afterwards changed the title of the dynasty into Yin."
The Chinese Classics, Part IV, The Dynasty of Shang.
The character Peih is common in the Chinese Classics, and may indicate a sun miracle:
"In his 14th year (from 965 BC = 951 BC or from 961 BC = 947 BC = the first year of king Ahab),..in autumn, in the 9th month, the people of Teih invaded Peih..In his 15th year, in the spring, in the first month the chief of Lew-keun came to make his submission. The king made the tower of Chung-peih."
The Chinese Classics, p.150.
Anything that will travel at the speed of light will lose its existance = it will be converted to light.
The sun being moved at the speed of light would appear dark with a red vertical line, the light of the sun being dilated.
The black bird, the black gem and the black cuirass may describe the sun being moved at the speed of light = time stopped and the sun is black.
A cuirass is an armour, like a tortoise shell. Thus, the scally cuirass may describe the sun dilated to a red line or red lines.
"a scaly cuirass, with red lines on a green ground" The sun may appear as if covered in sackcloth. The red lines may be the dilated sun at very near the speed of light, already the red end of the spectrum of light.
The "red gem" may describe the sun becoming red and oval in its dilation near the speed of light. Isaiah 54:12 "I will make thy suns rubies"
The "black gem" may describe the sun becoming black as it reaches the speed of light.
"He dropped a gem in the water" describes dropping a jade disc, a peih, in the water. The universal symbol of the sun is a disc with a hole in the middle.
An impact from an object as large as the great pyramid travelling 99.9% the speed of light would destroy life on the earth. Moving the sun at 99.9% of the speed of light into asteroids is similar. The sun is one million times larger than the earth, and anything large could easily be moved out of the way of the sun.
Thus, the sun would have to be moved at 99.999% of the speed of light to be darkened 1/224. For the sun to appear as bright as, or as dim as, the star Arcturus, the sun would have to be moved at 99.9999% of the speed of light.
Further infinite energy is required. This is possible because this is exactly God's power. God created the universe, he can move the sun near the speed of light.
Isaiah 66:1 "Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"
"If an object tries to travel 186,000 miles per second, its mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it. For this reason, no normal object can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light"
Google speed of light, people also ask is there anything faster than the speed of light?
Also in this record of king Wan; the phoenixes moved the sun and moon! The planets were moved out of the way of the sun, to Scorpius!
No light from the sun, no gravity from the sun. This means eight minutes after the sun moved around the earth at the speed of light, earth would continue in a straight line, and not in an orbit of the sun. Likewise, when light stopped arriving at the other planets, they too would continue in a straigth line and not in orbit, and also in all directions. As God guided earth in a reverse orbit of the sun, God would have to guide the other planets as well.
No gravity from the sun, yet the moon can stay and leave the same gravity tide.
King Wan was clothed in night clothes of the sun and moon! There was a decree for a new dynasty because of the omen!
Thus, the sun darkened = Matthew 27:45, the sun dimmed = Joshua 10:12, and the sun brightened = Isaiah 30:26.
Isaiah 8:22 "And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."
Joshua 11:6 "And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
11:7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
11:9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms."
Joshua 11:1 "And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
Judges 4:24 "And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan."
King Wan's dream must be one year after this battle of Merom. Israel chased the Midianites 40 miles to Zidon. That is not possible in the six hours from noon to sunset. Joshua had 24 extra hours in the battle of Gibeon, then Joshua would have 12 extra hours in the battle of Merom. This battle of Merom appears to be six months after Joshua's long day. The sun may move 180° back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit.
Thus, the battle of Merom February 5, 1240 BC and king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Even if NASA did not discover the Missing Day, the calculations here stand on their own.
In the 1980's I managed the inventory of lumber sales to the U.S. east coast for Doman. In those years Doman shipped more lumber there than any other lumber company. 10 ships of 20 million board feet = 200 million board feet, a year to several ports on the US east coast. Baltimore, Maryland, - where Harold Hill heard the missing day story at NASA - was one of our ports and one of our smallest ports. My job was to count lumber packages cubic feet like 2 X 4 8 foot = 1024 cubic feet or 2 X 4 12 foot = 1280 cubit feet.
These are the same numbers - Exodus in 1281 BC and from Jacob entering Egypt 1026 years from 2307 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
This observation from James Legge in the Chinese Classics can only be true if the sun moved to the other side of the earth:
"But the vernal mansions go to the west and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous directions of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east, etc. This discrepancy does not seem however to trouble their minds at all, and we may safely leave it unexplained."
The Chinese Classics III p.95
The only explanation is God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. To "safely leave it unexplained" is meaningless. There has to be an explanation. And God moving the sun is this only explanation.
Soon after reading this description I discovered God must have moved the sun to the other side of the earth, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. Thus, not only is this possible the spacemen at NASA could have discovered this reverse orbit, it is most necessarily probable.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
Sure, we need to be careful in accepting evidence that support our belief in God. But we do not want to reject the truth either. The sword is not broken!
Matthew 10:27 "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops."
The research on this page has never been debunked! And never will be! There is no shame in telling the truth! Christ be magnified!
Philippians 1:15 "Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel."
This is the sincere truth!
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow p.143, The Chinese Classics.
Many discredit this record as a dream and not a documented astronomical observation. However, here the sun was setting in the west, and stood still just above and just below the western horizon for 12 hours while the sun moved back 180° from Virgo to Pisces. Thus, king Wan would be weary and feel like he was dreaming. The first quarter moon stood still directly above and the sun on the western horizon, thus king Wan dreamt he was clothed in the sun and moon.
In this 12 hours, king Wan would grow weary and sleep after a normal 12 hour day, only to wake and see the moon still overhead and the sun still in the west 12 more hours later. NASA replied they are not familiar with this text. In 1968 NASA could easily have followed the lunar eclipse records in the Chinese Classics.
That is, the lunar eclipse day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC in king Wan's 35th year = his first year = king Wan's dream! February 16, 1240 BC or more likely, February 5, 1239 BC.
From the list of solar eclipse records on page 103 of the Chinese Classics to king Wan's dream on page 143 are only 40 pages! Upon reading king Wan's dream they would immediately note the western sky in Scorpius meant the sun was in Virgo - in the first month of Spring! Someone stated they began their year in the fall and had mistakenly recorded the first month with spring. Nevertheless, the truth is king Wan's dream was recorded correctly. At sunset in China they would see the five planets gather directly above in Scorpius as God moved the planets out of the way of the sun in Virgo.
Then the sun would stand still just below the western horizon for 12 hours as the sun passed 180° from Virgo to Pisces.
King Wan's dream would give the NASA scientists the reverse orbit. Because orbit is against rotation, in half an orbit earth must be sped up 24 hours around the sun. The sun would need to stand still in the sky for 24 hours to counter the sped up 24 hours. Thus, the elapsed time of 24 hours and the missing time of 23 hours and 20 minutes. Because earth's orbit is eccentric, the sped up time must be 23 hours and 20 minutes at the half orbit point when the sun can move back without any effect to earth's orbit.
They were still missing 40 minutes to complete 24 hours! Where was there an example of the sun standing still for 24 hours? Joshua 10:12 of course!
Looking into the time of king Wan's dream, February 15, 1240 BC, or counting the current year the 35th year as the Chinese do, more likely king Wan's dream was February 5, 1239 BC because of the lunar eclipse in his 35th year, September 23, 1205 BC. Looking into the time of Joshua's long day = 1241 BC also because the Exodus was in 1281 BC. Then looking into the time, the same year, the spacemen needed to find the missing 40 minutes. Then the sped up time of the second half reverse orbit would be 24 hours and 40 minutes.
The sun would have to move 10° more than 180° when the sun returned February 4, 1240 BC or February 5, 1239 BC. 10 degrees = 40 minutes - Now it all adds up: the sped up time of the two halves of the reverse orbit year = 23 hours and 20 minutes and 24 hours and 40 minutes = 48 hours.
The solar eclipses on page 103 of the Chinese Classics would give NASA the exact moon movements to predict lunar eclipses as well; such as September 23, 1205 BC. Saturn's orbit position could also be easily calculated because it is the furthest planet from the sun, and the slowest moving planet.
Long days must be in multiples of 180° = 12 hours. The net total of long days = 48 hours. The sped up time = 48 hours. A continuous watch needs 48 hours of long days by year end to fill in the sped up time of 48 hours. A watch before the sun miracles that year would tell the exact same time when the sun moved back one year later.
There must be 48 hours of sped up reverse orbit. There must be 48 hours long days. In Hezekiah's sign the sun backed up ten steps. So instead of a long day of 12 hours, Hezekiah's sign may be a 24 hours long day, for the sundial to back up ten hours, that is the sun recede to the east the same rate the sun progresses to the west = 12 + 12 = 24 hours.
Nevertheless, for God to start a reverse orbit, the sun must move to the other side of earth. Then, God may move the sun east presently. For God to move the sun east at the speed of light, the sun would be darkened and black and take less than 30 minutes.
To see the sun reverse in the sky, God must move the sun under the speed of light. At 90% of the speed of light the sun may be dimmed 80%, and the sun pass ten hours on the sundial east, completing 180°. For the sun to be dimmed 80% would not be that noticeable, the sun is so bright. .85 X 12 = 10 hours.
The sun travelling at 80% of the speed of light is dimmed by 60%.
The falling/reverse zodiac in the Chinese Classics = earth in a reverse orbit, and this record of the sun in Virgo in Spring instead of in Pisces would be all NASA scientists would need in 1968 to uncover the Missing Day calculations I give here.
The following is an example but not Joshua's long day: first the sun moving 180° with earth's rotation to stand in the sky for 12 hours. The earth in a reverse orbit, rotation is against orbit, so the year must be sped up 48 hours or else there would be 367 days instead of 365 in the year. At the half orbit point, six months later, the sun and planets can move 180° back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit.
Then again the sun could stand still in the sky as the sun moved 180° for 12 hours, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Then the next day the sun move back 180° for 12 hours and earth flow into the reverse orbit of the sun.
Because rotation is against orbit, friction from the sun on earth's rotation would be double.
Then one year, or two years, after the first sun movement the sun move 180° again with earth's rotation to stand still in the sky for 12 hours and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus 4 X 12 hours of longer days = 48 hours of a sped up reverse orbit = zero. Thus, when God moved the sun in many different variations of this model in plus or minus 12 hour motions of the sun, there would be no net missing time.
If God sped up the earth 48 hours in reverse around the sun, God would have to completely control earth from going into a higher orbit. Thus, earth's reverse orbit would have to be meticulously controlled as if it were in a normal orbit.
Some people say it is impossible to stop the earth, or move the sun, because there is nothing out there. God did not stop the earth, but God did move the sun. God is there, and there is the hiding of his power.
Both sun miracles that are hidden, and the actual solar and lunar eclipse records that are hidden. Eclipse records match, such as 76 years further back for Pharaoh Akhenaten in 1414 BC to 1407 BC, and 13 or 8 years more recent for King Darius, and King Xerxes, and Alexander the Great.
The wrong dates match the correct dates. The correct dates are hidden. Dates 8 years or 11 years more recent match the same day of the month and sometimes the same day of the week.
Habakkuk 1:5 "Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you."
Habakkuk 3:4 "And his brightness was as the light; rays flashed from his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
3:5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet."
There are 19 verses with the word brightnessH5051 refering to God.
Matthew 24:7 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Pestilence may be like the covid-19 today.
Deuteronomy 33:2 "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them."
Galatians 4:25 "For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children."
The Sinai is the home of the phoenix.
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
Joshua's long day the last quater moon and king Wan's dream the first quarter moon.
The sword and spear is glittering, perhaps because of a sun miracle the sun standing still at noon for 12 or 24 hours.
Also the noon sun = double light H6672, the brightest part of the day. To see the sun in the east or the west you are seeing through two atmospheres. To see the sun above you are only seeing through one atmosphere.
Joshua's long day = the sun standing still at noon. If sun miracles are often the sun standing still at noon, that may be reason to call the noon sun "double ligjht'.
Deuteronomy 32:41 "If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me."
Job 20:25 "It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him."
Job 39:23 "The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield."
Ezekiel 21:28 "And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:"
Nahum 3:3 "The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:"
John 19:34 "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."
1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
Joshua's army at Gibeon was unmoveable, the sun stood still. The sun stood still in the sky. Nevertheless, God moved the sun with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky.
Gideon, perhaps on the same day = midnight the second watch and the sun rising in the west, began the battle from mount Tabor. Tabor was in the tribe of Zebulun meaning "habitation". Then the sun standing still from Zebulun, may also mean the sun stood still that day the battle began in Zebulun. Jesus' habitation was at Nazareth about Zebulun.
Gideon's battle, Judges 6,7,8 probably was February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day, Joshua 10:12 August 10, 1241 BC, Deborah and Barak Judges 4, 5, = Merom, Joshua 11, February 4, 1240 BC.
Judges 8:18 "Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king."
The following four verses, Judges 6:7 - 6:10, are not found in the oldest Hebrew. Gideon who must have fought the same day as Joshua, or six months - half an orbit earlier in February of 1241 BC, must have already been in the land before the Israelites of Moses and Joshua settled northern Israel.
The battle of Merom and Barak and Deborah, February 4, 1240 BC, was the 21st day of the first month = the last day of unleavend bread of the Passover. From Joshua's long day the 21st day of the seventh month half an orbit later is also the 21st day = the last day of the seven day Passover feast of unleavened bread, of the first month.
Exodus 23:15 "Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)"
The Merneptah Stele describes the destruction of southern Israel: "Israel is laid waste and his seed is not; Hurru is become a widow because of Egypt." in Merneptah's fifth year, five years before the Exodus, and not the destruction of northern Israel, when some Jewish people had already settled in the land before Moses. Joshua had just crossed the river Jordan six months before this Joshua's long day from Gilgal:
The same year in 1286 BC, or 1284 BC, there was a new emperor, Woo-Yih, in China. Possibly the Chinese took a sun miracle for the omen to make a new emperor. Possibly there was a sun miracle at the time of this battle in Israel.
Joshua 10:7 "So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour."
Judges 6:7 "And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
6:8 That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
6:9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
6:10 And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice."
"The surprizing omission of four verses (Judges 6:7-10) in 4QJud a.." (Dead Sea Scroll from Qumran)
The Earliest Text of the Hebrew Bible, The Hebrew and Greek Texts of Judges, p.2.
Hebrews 3:16 "For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses."
Israel must have already been in the northern parts, and were in the southern parts until Pharaoh Merneptah destroyed them in his fifth year 1286 BC as recorded on the Merneptah Stele: "Israel is laid waste and his seed is not." "not all that came out of Egypt by Moses." Then Gideon's battle in Judges 6, 7, 8, may either have been the same day as Joshua's long day or Gideon's battle may be February 4, 1241 BC when Israel crossed the river Jordan.
If the wall of water was at Zarera, Gideon could cross on dry ground. However, the dam of water most likely was right there opposite Jericho. Then Gideon may cross on the still water of the backed up dam water. Then, the Midianites be caught upstream where the Jordan was rushing down in a torrent of the spring flood.
Judges 7:22 "And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
7:23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
7:25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan."
Judges 8:4 "And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them."
Joshua 3:16 "That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."
Zaretan and Zarerath must be the same place and be the same time = how far the waters were backed up the river Jordan.
The sun would be in Pisces the night before Joshua's long day. The sun would again be in Pisces when the sun returned the next day at sunrise on Sunday. Thus the sun still in its habitation. Yet, this was August the sun in Pisces, the sun normally would be in Virgo 180° from Pisces. Thus the sun on the other side of earth for this season, and in the reverse orbit. When the English Bible was written, even the Geneva Bible in print, before Galileo's discovery in 1610, the language described the sun revolving around the earth each day. Even the King James version was published the same year as Galilieo's discoverey, 1611, the Bible verses remained unchanged.
John Wycliffe's first English translation of the Bible in 1382 may not have any exclamation mark after Joshua 10:12, probably because before Galileo people thought the sun revolved around the earth each day.
Joshua 11:7 "So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them."
Merom means height. The waters near the heights. The sun also standing still six months later at noon.
Joshua 10:13 "And the sunH8121 stood still,H1826 and the moonH3394 stayed,H5975 untilH5704 the peopleH1471 had avengedH5358 themselves upon their enemies.H341 Is notH3808 thisH1931 writtenH3789 inH5921 the bookH5612 of Jasher?H3477 So the sunH8121 stoodH5975 still in the midstH2677 of heaven,H8064 and hastedH213 notH3808 to go downH935 about a wholeH8549 day.H3117"
To stand still, Amad = H5975, is the same word used both in Joshua and Habakkuk.
H1826 דָּמַם dâmam daw-mam' A primitive root (compare H1724, H1820); to be dumb; by implication to be astonished, to stop; also to perish: - cease, be cut down (off), forbear, hold peace, quiet self, rest, be silent, keep (put to) silence, be (stand), still, tarry, wait. Total KJV occurrences: 30
"and the moon stayedH5975"
H5975 עָמַד ‛âmad aw-mad' A primitive root; to stand, in various relations (literally and figuratively, intransitively and transitively): - abide (behind), appoint, arise, cease, confirm, continue, dwell, be employed, endure, establish, leave, make, ordain, be [over], place, (be) present (self), raise up, remain, repair, + serve, set (forth, over, -tle, up), (make to, make to be at a, with-) stand (by, fast, firm, still, up), (be at a) stay (up), tarry. Total KJV occurrences: 521
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sunH8121 and moonH3394 stood stillH5975 in their habitation:H2073 at the lightH216 of thine arrowsH2671 they went,H1980 and at the shiningH5051 of thy glitteringH1300 spear.H2595"
John 8:12 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
"Thine arrows walked in light" - in the noon day light that the sun stood in for a whole day of 24 hours.
1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
Joshua 10:26 "And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
The five kings were hung on crosses. Three were hung on crosses when Jesus was hung on the cross. There are 49 year jubilees from this 1241 BC to Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD. The five kings were put in a cave that Saturday the Sabbath. Jesus was laid in the tomb on the Sabbath. Thus, the connection of walking in the light as the arrows walked in light on Joshua's long day, and the connection to the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. Jesus rose from the dead the next day, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Israel should know God was moving the sun with earth's rotation, 360° through the zodiac to stand still in the sky for 24 hours. Just because the catholic church believed the sun went around the earth each day in Galileo's day does not mean Joshua believed the sun went around the earth each day. Psalm 19 was not a misunderstanding. The psalmist was writing about God moving the sun around the earth. To say the psalmist was writing about a primitive belief the sun went around the earth each day is just an uneducated assumption.
Israel also may know the sun was so far away that for the sun to stand still in the sky with earth's rotation, the sun must travel near the speed of light.
Habakkuk 3:11b "at the light of thine arrows they (the sun and moon) went".
That is, God must move the sun at 1/30th the speed of light = "at the light of thine arrows they went".
God moving the sun at 1/30th the speed of ligth to stand still in the sky for 24 hours.
An object traveling one tenth the speed of light for 24 hours is seven minutes younger.
Thus, if God moved the sun around the earth three times in 24 hours at one tenth the speed of light, and the day would be one third of a day, the sun would be seven minutes younger.
Thus, the day God moved the sun, giving Joshua a clue this was a good day to ask God to continue to move the sun.
Possibly God was moving the sun from west to east that day, then 360° around the earth to make the sun stand still at noon for 24 hours.
Time slowed on the sun that day, Joshua's long day, time slowed on the sun by about one minute.
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
Relativity means time is slower at the sun when the sun is traveling near the speed of light.
When God moved the sun at 20 million miles per hour to make it stand still in the sky, time on the sun only slowed by less than a minute. Over many sun miracles time would slow many minutes.
Time starts to slow noticeably at 1/10th the speed of light. If the sun were to rise in the west, west to east in the same time as the usual east to west, the sun would travel 1/15th the speed of light. This is about the 1/10th the speed of light that time begins to slow noticeably.
"The earth which moves at 30 kilometers a second around the sun, would appear to an observer at rest relative to the sun, shortened only by a few inches... in addition to apparent changes in length, there are also apparent changes in time..gravity clocks, such as pendulum clocks and sand glasses, would be useless. (because outer space is weightless)."
Relativity Simply Explained, p.40.
"it would take about 36 million years (for earth) to drag a full circle." There are 32 million seconds a year.
Twisting Space Time, Ken Tapping.
That is 15 miles per earth orbit of 540 million miles or one second per year. That is, time would slow and earth would be one second younger than the sun in one year.
"Thus, the whole number of years [of early Egyptian history] is 341 Pharaohs, in which entire space, they said, no god had ever appeared in a human form; nothing of this kind had happened either under the former or under the later Egyptian kings. The sun, however, had within this period of time, on four several occasions, moved from his wonted course, twice rising where he now sets, and twice setting where he now rises. Egypt was in no degree affected by these changes; the productions of the land, and of the river, remained the same; nor was there anything unusual in the diseases or the deaths."
The History of Herodotus, chapter 2
When God moved the sun around the earth 360° very near the speed of light - time stops at the speed of light, time would slow down by one hour = time would stop for one hour at the sun, on the surface of the sun. Over many darkened, 360° movements, of the sun, time would slow many hours. Time, a watch, on earth would remain untouched.
"If an object tries to travel 186,000 miles per second, its mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it. For this reason, no normal object can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light"
Google speed of light, people also ask is there anything faster than the speed of light?
Thus, God moving the sun near the speed of light would take almost infinite energy.
God may keep the moon at the same position = the same daily tide that day. Then God must put a gravity where the sun was to keep the same solar tide that day.
Job 26:10 "He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end."
Thus, when God moved the sun east to set in the east, and then to rise suddenly in the east, the tide would match: "until the day and night come to an end."
The sun very near the speed of light would leave no tide. No light and no gravity when travelling at or very near the speed of light. Then also, this was for only one hour. So the lack of a solar tide for one hour may be hard to detect.
This means the spectrum of light will be red, simply time is slower only the red end of the spectrum leaves the sun's surface. The sun is a green star. Because of the atmosphere the sun appears yellow. Even so, the sun we see is really white not yellow. So relativity means the sun should appear reddish when it was moved around the earth. And especially reddish if the sun was moved near the speed of light.
Matthew 17:2 "And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light."
The sun is really white, although we paint it yellow.
If the sun travelled at 99.5% of the speed of light, the sun would be dimmed 90%, and time slowed 90%.
The sun at 99.5% of the speed of light, in the one hour to complete 360° around the earth, one tenth of that time passed on the sun. Thus, time on the sun would pass 6 minutes while time on earth pass 60 minutes. Then the sun would be darkened 90%.
If that does not make the sun dark enough, God may have moved the sun 99.9999% of the speed of light.
Thus the sun travelling 360° in one hour at very near the speed of light may leave just seconds had passed on the sun as it was moved 360°.
Just seconds would pass in that one hour, and the sun be darkened 99.99%, or more like 99.9999%, like a total eclipse.
Then for all intents and purposes God must have moved the sun very near the speed of light to make the sun totally dark.
Psalm 19:3 "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
"Ra hath a fair wind..the gods of the south..praise thee, O, thou divine substance, from whom all forms of life come into being. Thou sendest forth the word, and the earth is flooded with silence, O thou only One, who didst dwell in Heaven before ever the earth and the mountains came into existence. O Runner, O Lord, O only One, thou maker of things which are.."
The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. Prayers, Incantations and other texts from the Book of the Dead. p.58.
There were at least two times the sun must have traveled around the earth near the speed of light; the sun darkened at noon at the fall of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC = the 7th day of the moon; and when the sun was darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD = the 15th day of the moon. So neither could be a solar eclipse.
One year after the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC is the 17th day of the seventh month, Sunday, September 7, 590 BC = Jesus' birth on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
The "solar eclipse" record in China on day 40 of cycle, is a record of darkness. Even if there is no record of the darkness when Jesus was on the cross outside of the Gospels, there is this record of darkness at the fall of Jerusalem that may be identical. There is also evidence of the most massive solar storm in the sun in this 591 BC as well.
There appears to be no record of Joshua's long day or Hezekiah's sun dial reverse out side of the Bible. But there is king Wan's dream one and a half years after Joshua's long day. There is a record of a solar eclipse recorded in China about when Hezekiah's father King Ahaz died on day 42 in 718 BC that cannot be a solar eclipse. The death of King Ahaz in 718 BC is 15 X 50 year cycles to Jesus' sacrifice. There is a sun miracle on day 28, March 28, in 688 BC recorded in China when King Hezekiah died as well.
688 BC and 868 BC are on a sin-maou year 28 of cycle 60, and the year begins in spring on a new moon on a day 28 of cycle 60.
There was a massive sun storm 2610 years ago, from 2019 AD = 591 BC, that was ten times stronger than any event in the last 70 years. Ice samples reveal three massive sun storms in the last 3000 years, March 11, 2019.
The fall of Jerusalem, the sun moved around the earth near the speed of light, the seventh day - not a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse, September 7, 591 BC, may have caused this solar storm.
December 10, 2020 - B.C. Hydro prepares for strong geomagnetic storm.
This means the sun must be at least two hours younger than the earth. That is, the sun must have revolved around the earth very near the speed of light both September 7, 591 BC and April 3, 33 AD.
There were many other sun miracles in history that could involve the sun traveling around the earth near the speed of light, such as the day Julius Caesar was assassinated, perhaps taken as an omen to assassinate Julius, March 15, 45 BC, to point to Jesus' perfect life of 38 years in reverse to 7 BC when Jesus would be born.
You can see the full moon on March 15, 45 BC:
Jeremiah 1:3 "It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month"
Thus the solar eclipse of Jerusalem in the fifth month = the solar eclipse of Halys in the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC, not May 28, 585 BC.
That year in 591 BC the fifth month was September. The months were counted from spring, not January.
Likewise, September 15, 458 BC was the 14th day of the fifth month when Xerxes died.
Wired.com: "The most likely candidate for Thales' eclipse took place on May 28, 585 BC, though some authorities believe it may have been 25 years earlier in 610 BC."
"war broke out between Lydia and Media. It lasted five years, with victory going first to one side, then to the other. After all this indecisive fighting, in the sixth year, there was a battle in which day turned into night"
The Greek Histories.p.21.
"In 585 BC a solar eclipse so terrified the Medians and Lydians that they forgot about the vicious battle they were fighting and fled the battlefield."
Morelikely, the sun was darkened for an hour at noon, at the fall of Jerusalem, than a solar eclipse of a few minutes. Thus, the Medians and Lydians were so terrified they forgot about the battle.
Thus, the date September 7, 591 BC, the same fifth month as the Thale's eclipse, is six years more recent - not 25 years more recent, is most likely the actual solar eclipse record = a sun miracle at the fall of Jerusalem.
"Dio goes so far as to claim that Caesar was now to be worshipped as Jupiter Julius..Julius Caesar's family boasted of their descent from Venus."
Caesar, Adrian Goldsworthy, the Ides of March, p.601.
"on the night of 14 March Calpurnia (Caesar's wife) suffered a nightmare in which she variously claimed to have seen either the pediment of the house collapsing or that she was holding his murdered body in her arms"
"Then the morning sacrifices on the 15th were repeated several times, but the omens were always unfavorable."
"It was late morning by the time Caesar had arrived and the time had passed nervously for the conspirators"
Caesar, Adrian Goldsworthy, the Ides of March, p.616.
Thus, if there was darkness at this exact 11 AM (12 PM Israel time = the darkness at the sixth hour of the day when Jesus was on the cross) meeting at the Roman Senate, this astronomical sign could be taken as the omen to assassinate Julius Caesar.
Brutus and his co-conspirators never met openly to discuss the assassination of Julius Ceasar for the obvious fear of being found out. All the more reason there may have been this omen of darkness that they all acted on immediately.
From the full moon March 15, 45 BC is to the full moon September 9, 45 BC. Jesus fulfilled the jubile on September 9, 29 AD, (or October 7, 29 AD) = the same day of the tropical year.
There was a massive sun storm 2610 years ago, from 2019 AD = 591 BC, that was ten times stronger than any event in the last 70 years. Ice samples reveal three massive sun storms in the last 3000 years, March 11, 2019.
"dated to 567 BC" if this 567 BC is a correct astronomical date, then this aurora may be a magnetic storm caused by God moving the sun. 567 BC = 600 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Ezekiel 40:1 "In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither."
The tenth day of the first month should be the day the children of Israel took in their lamb unto the 14th day when they sacrificed the lamb on the Passover. The tenth day was Palm Sunday when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey.
The anniversary of the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC should be the 17th day of the seventh month, September 7, 590 BC. The lunar month backs up 11 days a year. Day 7 + 11 = 18. Jesus probably was born on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
"the selfsame day" Saturday the 7th day of the 5th month, September 7, 591 BC may be the selfsame day, Friday, September 18, 578 BC, the 10th day of the seventh month.
The tenth day of the first month is equal to the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC. Thus, there may be a sun miracle also in the 14th year from 591 BC, perhaps 577 BC. Sunday, March 13, 577 BC was the tenth day of the first month. Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, March 29, 33 AD.
24 years back from 577 BC is the first captivity in 601 BC is the first year of Zedekiah. 577 BC is 570 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 577 BC is 70 years to the foundation of the temple being laid in 507 BC in King Darius second year. From 577 BC is 605 years to Jesus' ministry beginning in 29 AD. From the 30th year of 50 is 612 BC and the death of Josiah = 605 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
577 BC to 7 BC; 570 = 5 X 114. 577 BC to 29 AD; 605 = 5 X 121.

From July 29, 595 BC to January 29, 592 BC is exactly two and a half years = two and a half orbits - are possible sun miracles.
Ezekiel 32:1 "And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
Ezekiel 26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:"
March 8, 591 BC is half an orbit before September 7, 591 BC when Jerusalem fell at darkness at noon.
March 8, 591 BC - the month is not given, but was assumed the end of the year before April - the 11th month or the 12th month. The year was assumed either 587 BC or 586 BC. Thus, four years back is 591 BC. Thus, the 11th year, the 11th month, the first day = March 8, 591 BC.
Then this 11h month first day be Friday, March 8, 591 BC, the 12th month first day be April 8, 591 BC, The first month be May 7, 591 BC, June, July, August = 1, 2, 3, 4 and the fifth month September 1, 591 BC.
Then the solar eclipse record for September 7, 591 BC be the fifth month = the solar eclipse on day 40, 591 BC in China and the solar eclipse of Halys, not a solar eclipse in the same fifth month, but the seventh day of the fifth lunar month and thus be also the sun miracle at the fall of Jerusalem, Saturday, September 7, 591 BC.
Ezekiel 40:1 "In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither."
This 567 BC may be the 25th year from the destruction of Jerusalem, the fifth month the seventh day, September 7, 591 BC - the 10th day of the 1st month may be the 10th day to the Passover the 14th day, or it may mean the 1st month, the 10th day of Yom Kippur in 567 BC = 600 years to Jesus' sacrifice; or this same September 7 in the 14th year from the destruction of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC. That is Yom Kippur, September 7, 577 BC.
The crossing of Israel through the Jordan dry river bed, with Jordan in full flood, on the tenth day of the first month = Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC may have been a long day.
The entering into the Holiest once a year on the tenth day of the seventh month = first month of the civil year. Jesus fulfilled this jubile on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, when he spoke from Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me".
568 BC, like many sun miracles ending in X68 BC, is 600 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
More likely, the 14th year is from the destruction of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC. The 25th year of captivity date from Zedekiah's first year of eleven years in 602 BC. 577 BC therefore is this date. 577 BC is 70 years to when the foundation of the temple was laid in Darius' second year in 507 BC = 500 years to the birth of Christ about September 12, 7 BC.
Wikipedia "The tenth of Tishri 574 BC is precisely as stated in Ezekiel 40:1, both in the 14th year of the temple's destruction in 587 BC and the 25th year of Jeconiah's exile in 597 BC."
The destruction of Jerusalem was September 7, 591 BC, four years further back than 587 BC. The 14th year = 578 BC, the 25th year from 602 BC. The 49 jubile year was in 605 BC. 578 BC was 71 years to the 49 year jubile in 507 BC.
Friday, September 18, 578 BC was this 14th and 25th year, the 10th day of the 7th month.
A jubile year may be 572 BC continuing to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, beginning on the 10th day of the 7th month, Friday, September 10, 572 BC. The return from the captivity was in 521 BC after 70 years from 591 BC = 50 years from 571 BC to 521 BC.
"In his 5th year (580 BC from 584 BC) the duke, King of Tsin died..in his 13th year (572 BC from 584 BC) the duke Le of T'sin died."
The Chinese Classics
Jeconiah Wikipedia: "The Talmud (tractate Arakin 12a,b) and the Seder Olam (chapter 11) also say that Ezekiel saw his vision at the beginning of a Jubilee year, the 17th, consistent with this interpretation of Ezekiel 40:1."
605 BC was a 49 year jubile year. Jeconiah was taken into captivity in 602 BC.
From 608 BC - 17 years = 591 BC and the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
The seventh month, the 17th day, Tuesday September 13, 577 BC = 570 years to Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month, perhaps Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. 577 BC is 70 years to the foundation of the temple being laid in 507 BC..
"The Dawenkou culture was a Chinese Neolithic culture primarily located in the eastern province of Shandong, but also appearing in Anhui, Henan and Jiangsu. The culture existed from 4300 to 2600 BC" = 250 years before emperor Huangdi in 2356 BC.
This Chinese astronomical record 2000 years earlier may also describe an aura, and a connection to a solar storm = aura, and a sun miracle:
"In his, Huangdi, 20th year, (2636 BC), brilliant clouds appeared. Note: The auspicious clouds was in this way: The vapours of the red quarter [the south] extended so as to join those of the green [the east]. In the red quarter were two stars, and the green, one; all of a yellow colour, which appeared when the heavens were clear and bright.. When the emperor was sitting in a boat on the Yuen-hoo, above its junction with the Lo, there came together phoenixes, male and female."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p. 109.
The new moon, January 26, 2636 BC to begin the days of 60 and the years of 60, the 20th year from 2657 BC:
Half an orbit earlier, 179 days earlier, the first day of the 6th month, August 1, 2637 BC:
One year earlier, the 17th day of the 12th month, January 26, 2637 BC:
Half and orbit after, 186 days after January 26, 2636 BC is the 7th day of the sixth month, July 31, 2636 BC:
One year later is the 10th day of the 12th month, January 26, 2635 BC:
There must be at least one year of a reverse orbit. So, sun miracles in this year before January 26, 2636 BC, or the year after January 26, 2636 BC.
The sun may move 180° to stand still in the sky for 12 hours, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. The sun may move back at the half way point by again moving 180°, for a 12 hours longer day, to the other side of the earth, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The sun move 180° to stand still in the sky for 12 hours and earth flow into a reverse orbit. The sun move back 180° to stand still in the sky for 12 hours and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. +12 hours + 12 hours = 24 hours = the sped up half orbit of 24 hours = no net missing time.
Thus, a sun miracle at the half orbit point is to be expected.
A typical reverse orbit has the sun move 180° and half an orbit later the sun move 360°, and another half orbit later = one year to the date of the first movement, the sun move back 180° and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. 12 hour longer day + 24 hour longer day + 12 hour longer day = 48 hours longer days = 48 hours sped up reverse orbit = no net missing time.
The record of this 20th year of Huangdi, the new moon, January 26, 2636 BC, in the Chinese Classics:
"Lo, there came together phoenixes, male and female." means the sun and moon were together in this first month and twentieth year from 2657 BC = January 26, 2636 BC = the beginning of the counting 60 years and counting 60 days.
Half an orbit after Saturday January 26, 2657 BC should be about 186.5 days to the full moon on July 31, 2657 BC. If from Saturday to Saturday, 189 days later, is Saturday, August 2, 2657 BC = the 17th lunar day, of the fifth month or the sixth month or the seventh month.
2657 BC is in 50 year jubiles, 53 X 50 years, to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
Phoenixes were recorded again 50 years later, on day 57 of cycle 60, the seventh month, October 18, 2607 BC = the autumn equinox = the 17th day of the 7th month = Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month September 12, 7 BC.
The counting not from 2696 BC, but 60 years more recent from 2636 BC. Yao's long day not 2356 BC but 40 years more recent in 2315 BC = Joseph's dream of the sun and moon obeying him, to begin the seven years of plenty. The Kelin in his seventh year to begin the seven years of famine, 2308 BC = Israel sojourning in Egypt in 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
"Kwang's standard tables place Yaou's first year in 2357 BC, or 2356 BC"
The Chinese Classics, p.88.
In counting from Huangdi in 2696 BC to emperor Yao in 2356 BC is 340 years.
The correct date is counting from emperor Huangdi's first year in 2656 BC 340 years to emperor Yao in 2315 BC. The first year of Huangdi was in 2656 BC = Yao's long day in 2316 BC or 2315 BC = the first year of Joseph in Egypt = the first year of the seven years of plenty in Egypt.
The full moon = the Passover, on April 2, 2315 BC = the full moon on the first Passover, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = the Passover on Jesus' sacrifice, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The counting of years of sixty, and days of sixty, not from 2696 BC, but in Huangdi's 20th year = 2356 BC - 20 = 2636 BC. Counting from January 26, 2636 BC = the new moon and phoenixes = a sun miracle.
This means when God moves the sun again there probably will be a massive solar storm. Only, this time the storm will probably knock out satellites.
This new moon January 26, 2636 BC may be like the new moon January 25, 1241 BC the crossing the River Jordan the tenth day Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC and perhaps a sudden sunrise.
Exodus 16:1 "And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt."
Exodus 16:22 "And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses."
Sunday, April 29, 1281 BC was the first day of the week, the first day of manna, the 15th day of the second month.
Joshua 5:10 "And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year."
Thus, the Passover, the 14th day of the first month, Thursday, February 8, 1241 BC, and the morrow be Friday, February 9, 1241 BC.
"The Jewish (or Hebrew) calendar is luni-solar, being ruled by both the lunation (the synodic lunar month) and the tropical year. The Jewish month has 29 or 30 days, and the year has 12 or 13 months. Moreover, both types of years can vary in three ways, so a Jewish common year may contain 353, 354, or 355 days, and an embolismic or leap year 383, 384, or 385 days. The names and months and their lengths are given in Table 9.A."
Let A be the year number in the Jewish calendar, and X be the year in the Julian or Gregorian, calendar. Then the date in the year X on which 15 Nissan occurs can be found by the following formulae due to Gauss."
C = INT (X/100) S
S = INT (3C - 5)/4
A = X + 3760

"Tishri 5752 corresponds to 1991 September 9, Gregorian."
Astronomical Algorithims, The Jewish and Moslem Calendars, p.72.February 8, 1241 BC is a little early for the Passover and the fall of Jerusalem in the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC is a little late for the fifth month = the solar eclipse of Halys in the fifth month.
It is easy for the lunar calendar to fall back a month without a second month of Adar every three years.
Likewise, and adjustment forward one or two months is possible too.
Exodus 16:22 "And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses."
The sixth day was Friday.
Joshua 6:3 "And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days."
Joshua 6:15 "And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city."
Joshua 6:25 "And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho."
"unto this day" should mean the Book of Joshua was written before Rahab died.
The fall of Jericho was on the seventh day, Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC.
"above its junction with the Lo, there came together phoenixes, male and female." means the new moon that began the counting of 60 days and 60 years was also a sun miracle, the phoenixes moving both the sun and the moon. 100 years earlier was the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC.
Here you can see the 60 day and 60 year cycle names, beginning from this new moon in Huangdi's 20th year from 2656 BC = January 26, 2636 BC"

Here you see the 60 cycles again. These cycles of sixty days and sixty years must have begun on the new moon and sun miracle January 26, 2636 BC in Huangdi's 20th year from 2657 BC.
The Chinese Classics. p.96.
"The first mention of the cyclical name of a day is found in the Shoo, Pt IV. Bk.IV.p1. It is said to have been the 12th month of the first year of the emperor T'ae-kea."
"This is the only instance of the use of the cycle which occurs before 1121 BC." The decisive battle was the disappearing of the moon, just before the new moon, on day 29 of cycle 60 January 1, 1174 BC. The new moon was January 3, 1174 BC. Day 29 of cycle 60, January 22, 1121 BC was the fifth lunar day and does not work.
"In the first month, the day jin-shin, day 29 of cycle 60, immediately followed the end of the moon's waning. The next day was Kwei-ke, day 30 of cycle 60, when the king in the morning marched from Chow to attack and punish Shang."
The Chinese Classics. Books of Chow, Book III. p.306.
January 1, 1174 BC was the new moon and this day 29 of cycle 60 and battle of Chow against Shang:
The date 1539 BC + 120 years = 1659 BC. The 12th month February 26, 1658 BC is day 5 of cycle 60 and is the new moon.
The common dating is from the new moon January 7, 1500 BC is day 5 of cycle 60.
The real date for counting days of 60 is day 5 on the new moon February 26, 1658 BC.
Even earlier, the real date for the counting of 60 days and years was the new moon, January 26, 2636 BC in Huangdi's 20th year.
March 17, 46 BC = "Slaves deserted and brought news that beginning on March 5 (March 17, the fifth lunar day), which was when the battle at Soricaria had happened, great fear prevailed; moreover, Attius Varus was in command of the forts all around. That day Pompey moved camp and occupied a position opposite Spalis in an olive grove. Before Caesar set out for the same place, the moon was visible about the sixth hour of the day."
The Landmark Julius Caesar, Spanish War, p.624
This five lunar day = the moon at the eastern horizon and the sun in the middle of the sky = the position of the sun and moon on Joshua's long day. Then the possibility this too was a long day.
Nevertheless, king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC at sunset on China = the sun at noon in Israel and the sun standing still for 12 hours at noon while the sun was moved 180° to the other side of earth and earth flow out of the reverse orbit began with the crossing of the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC. The five day moon rising then standing still in the east in Israel. Thus, the Romans may have seen an omen in a similar sun miracle that day.
August 10, 1241 BC in the Julian calendar was equal to July 30th in our Gregorian calendar = 31 days to September + 22 days to the equinox = 54 days or about half way, half way is 45 days, from the summer solstice to the autumn equinox. Gibeon was at the 33rd latitude, the sun at the 11th latitude = 90° less 20° = the sun at 70° at noon on August 10, 1241 BC.
Thus, Joshua's long day be 40 days after the summer solstice. Autumn in China would begin 45 days after the summer solstice.
The sixth lunar day of king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC, one and a half orbits earlier would be Joshua's long day on the 21st day of the seventh month = the moon in the Ajalon valley when the sun was at the noon day and stood there for 24 hours. Thus, Joshua's long dya may be August 10, 1241 BC.
If God moved the sun March 17, 46 BC then one year later he may move the sun back March 15, 45 BC. Just like the crossing of Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, the battle of Merom, February 4, 1240 BC and God move the sun back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, February 5, 1239 BC.
Caesar's comet: "the bright day-light visible comet appeared suddenly during Ludi Victoriae Caesaris, shone for seven successive days", held in the month of September.
Thus, also this comet may point to Jesus' birth 38 years later, September 12, 7 BC.
Here you can see the comet Neowise is visible in the day, picture taken 11 PM PDT July 15, 2020, just below the Big Dipper:
Friday night, February 10, 2023 I saw comet E3 (ZTF) a fuzzy area, to the upper left of Mars through a spotting telescope. By this time the comet can hardly be seen by the naked eye.
"When the tug-of-war is won by the gravity of our solar system, an object may start moving inwards, accelerating as it gets closer to the sun," Leonard explained. - Comet Leonard.
Thus, God moving the sun may be felt out in the Oort Cloud, and draw comets to the earth.
"In his (King K'ing) sixth year (611 BC), a comet entered the Great Bear (the Big Dipper) and the King died."
The Chinese Classics, p.164,
Here you see comet Hale-Bopp from February 24, 1997:
There was a partial solar eclipse visible from China in the early morning of April 28, 612 BC. The partial solar eclipse, the comet, or a sun miracle in 611 BC may have been the omen for the Chinese to make a new emperor.
King Josiah died about 612 BC.
Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction December 22, 2020:
The moon is higher in the sky in winter = February = the first quarter moon and planets above in Fang/Scorpius February 5, 1239 BC at sunset in China, and lower in the sky in summer = the last quarter moon in Ajalon in the west at noon on Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction, but not directly above Bethlehem = 42° above, at midnight = earth's shadow, in September 12, 7 BC:
God may have left Jupiter and Saturn in their normal orbit when he moved the sun around the earth, Jupiter and Saturn being so much further away. Jupiter is 5 astronomical units from the sun, and Saturn is 9 astronomical units from the sun. The distance from the earth to the sun is one astronomical unit.
The conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter was in Pisces in September of 7 BC. When God moved the sun to the other side of earth on that date about September 12, 7 BC, then Jupiter and Saturn would not appear above at midnight after September 12, 7 BC, but would appear beside the sun.
If the sun is the colour red, then the moon and planets and comets must be red too.
This means the planets, comets, and moon, would reflect this reddish sunlight and also appear red. This record was taken as an omen at the death of Caesar:
"Thus, the sun suffered a total eclipse and most of the sky seemed to be on fire; glowing embers appeared to be falling from it and blood-red comets were seen."
Dio Cassius, Book LVI p.67
A lunar eclipse record may have actually been a sun miracle, the red sun reflecting onto the moon. Thus, the lunar eclipse of September 15, 5 BC that was recorded as a blood moon by Josephus, may have actually been the colour red reflected from a red sun.
Leviticus 23:34 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
23:35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
The 15th day was on Sunday the first day, September 17, 5 BC.
Nevertheless, the full moon and lunar eclipse were on September 15, 5 BC.
Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC or September 13, 7 BC; the sun move and return two years later September 15, 5 BC. Two years of sped up orbit 2 X 48 hours = 4 X 24 hours. Thus, the sun may return two days after two whole years of reverse orbit.
Astronomers Think They Know Why This Black Hole Is Flashing Red Light
"The most distant galaxies have red shifts so big that they must be moving away from us at speeds approaching the speed of light!"
Earth and Space, p.189
The sun travelling near the speed of light is equal to light coming from a black hole. Time is almost stopped in both situations. Therefore, only light at the red end of the spectrum can escape. This is proven with relativity.
God is light. God can and has hidden his power. A classic method is this reverse orbit that leaves no net missing time.
Then there would be 48 hours sped up time and 4 X 12 hours long days. 48 hours - 48 hours = no net time difference.
Isaiah 40:12 "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?"
God would need to know the exact weight of the earth to speed up earth's orbit in reverse so perfectly to appear from earth to be normal and to leave no physical evidence behind - not even any missing seconds or minutes in order for lunar and solar eclipse paths to exactly match what they would have been had not God moved the sun.
Isaiah 43:13 "Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall reverseH7725 it?"
Jeremiah 4:28 "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn backH7725 from it."
H7725 שׁוּב shûb shoob A primitive root; to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbially again: - ([break, build, circumcise, dig, do anything, do evil, feed, lay down, lie down, lodge, make, rejoice, send, take, weep]) X again, (cause to) answer (+ again), X in any case (wise), X at all, averse, bring (again, back, home again), call [to mind], carry again (back), cease, X certainly, come again (back) X consider, + continually, convert, deliver (again), + deny, draw back, fetch home again, X fro, get [oneself] (back) again, X give (again), go again (back, home), [go] out, hinder, let, [see] more, X needs, be past, X pay, pervert, pull in again, put (again, up again), recall, recompense, recover, refresh, relieve, render (again), X repent, requite, rescue, restore, retrieve, (cause to, make to) return, reverse, reward, + say nay, send back, set again, slide back, still, X surely, take back (off), (cause to, make to) turn (again, self again, away, back, back again, backward, from, off), withdraw. Total KJV occurrences: 1058
The word shoob H7725 "turned back" is used again when God moved the sun "back" ten steps = ten hours on a sun dial for a sign to King Hezekiah.
This is only true if the sun had moved 180° and earth had flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. You can see Fang/Scorpius in the east when the sun is in September. For Spring to be in Scorpius, the sun must have moved 180°. This diagram is from 2300 BC from Chinese emperor Yao, in 1240 BC the eastern constellation at the Fall equinox was Virgo, a month later followed Scorpius.
Here again you see the 28 mansions of the lunar zodiac, on page 94 of the Chinese Classics. Notice the spring equinox in 2300 BC is in the west in Taurus. For spring to be in the east, the sun must be moved to the other side of earth and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
You see Fang/Scorpius, where the sun is in at autumn, by the E for east. However, the Chinese depicted spring in the east. The year progressing as the day the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Normally the sun travels more and more toward the east through the year.
Earth normally passes, that is the sun passes, from Aquarius in the north in winter to Taurus in the west in spring to Leo in the south in summer to Scorpius/Fang in the east in autumn. In a reverse orbit earth, that is the sun in the zodiac, passes from Aquarius in the North in winter to Scorpius/Fang in the east in spring, to Leo in the south in summer and to Taurus in the west in autumn.
That is why you see the stars set at sunset then they disappear. That is, the star you see appear at dusk on the western horizon will in a few days or a week already have set in the west before dusk, and not appear. Thus, as earth orbits normally counter clockwise the sun moves from the west to the east through the zodiac. In a reverse orbit, the sun would travel more and more towards the west, like sunrise and sunset. Thus, in a reverse clockwise orbit, the sun passes from the east to the west throughout the year. If there was a sun miracle in spring in 2300 BC the sun would be in this Fang/Scorpius in the east of this zodiac. Thus, spring would be in the east. Thus, the Chinese belief Spring is in the East.
Stars setting in the west would rise above from the west a little each day. Through the year in a reverse orbit the stars would pass from the west at sunset east and across the sky through the year.
Earth would continue to rotate the same way = the stars move east to west each night. Only, the stars would appear 1° up from the east through 360° in each of 365 days.
If the sun moved 180° in spring, the sun would be, end up, to the east of the zodiac by Fang/Scorpius. Earth precesses one sign every 1000 years. So this diagram of the Chinese zodiac is from 2300 BC. 1000 years later, in the time of Joshua, where you see Scorpius would equal the six day moon directly above, and the sun in Leo/Virgo. Yao became emperor after a long day, Joseph's sun miracle, 1000 years before Joshua. Joshua was a direct descendent of Joseph. Yao recorded spring in the east after the long day. Spring can only be in the east of the zodiac in a reverse orbit.
From Joseph becoming governor over all of Egypt April 1, 2315 BC to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC is 1074 years. Likewise, Yao's 70th year and sun miracle 2245 BC and Joseph becoming 100 years old (2245 BC to Shun's 14th year in 2207 BC is the 38 years life span of Jesus) to Joshua's long day is 1004 years. 2245 BC - 1004 years = Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
For Joshua's long day, and king Wan's dream 1000 years later, you can picture the first quarter moon above in Scorpius and the sun setting in Leo/Virgo in spring! The sun in spring in February should be in Aquarius, the six day moon of king Wan in Taurus!
"But the vernal mansions go to the west and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous directions of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east, etc. This discrepancy does not seem however to trouble their minds at all, and we may safely leave it unexplained."
The Chinese Classics III p.95
The sun must be near Pisces in Spring, that is just a fact. This zodiac from Yao has spring in Taurus in 2300 BC. By Joshua's time spring was in Aries/Pisces, not Taurus. By Jesus' time spring was in Pisces. Chinese spring is 45 days before the spring equinox. Thus, February 15 is 45 days before March 31 the spring equinox in 1239 BC. At the time of Joshua's long day and king Wan the spring equinox was March 31, 10 days after March 21.
Saturn takes 29 years to orbit the sun = the 28 lunar mansions above. Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit the sun = the 12 signs of the zodiac = 12 lunar months a year.
Nevertheless, each lunar day would progress forward one sign a day.
Thus, when earth was in a reverse orbit the 28 lunar mansions would appear in the same forward sequence through the 28 stars, only earth would be 180° = 6 of the 12 signs of the 12 month zodiac away = 14 of the 28 lunar mansions away, and the following month the lunar zodiac also would appear one month earlier in earth's reverse orbit.
Thus, there would be quite a change in the 28 lunar mansions for each month in earth's reverse orbit. Thus, spring in China is in the east = the sun in Fang/Scorpius = the sun in this 28 lunar zodiac 180° away = a reverse orbit.
"Instead of each planet being linked only to the sun by a brass arm, it's as if they were linked by gravitational springs as well. The most powerful one linked the two biggest bodies, Jupiter and Saturn..As the planets interacted with plantesimals, their own orbits shifted. Jupiter moved slightly inward; Saturn moved slightly outward - until at a certain point Saturn was completing exactly one orbit for every two of Jupiter's"
National Geographic, Our Wild Wild Solar System, July 2013. p.54
This Julian calendar backs up one day every 128 years. So, from 1241 BC to 1 AD = 10 days the spring equinox backs up to March 21.
Thus, in 1241 BC, the spring equinox was April 1, not March 21.
Chinese spring begins 45 days before the spring equinox. Thus, king Wan's dream, the six day moon, February 5, 1239 BC was the lunar month of spring. From the new moon on February 1, 45 days = March 17 = 14 more days = 59 days, to the spring equinox April 1, 1241 BC. With an adustment of 14 days = 14 more days than 45 days, spring began in China on the new moon, February 1, 1239 BC.
This is because we use the Julian calendar in years Before Christ = BC, and we use the Gregorian Calendar after 1 AD = Anno Domini = Year of our Lord. The Gregorian calendar keeps in step with the seasons.
Julius started the calendar on the new moon = January 1, 45 BC. He died on the full moon = the Passover = March 15, 45 BC. Next the Roman emperor Diocletian started the Diocletian system in his first year = 284 AD. In year 247 the monk Dionysius specifically renamed the calendar Anno Domini Year of our Lord = 532 AD. 532 - 247 = 285 AD. Dionysius named 1 AD, January 1, as the year of Jesus' birth; but not the day, not December 25.
In 248 AD Rome celebrated its 1000th year from 752 BC. From the full moon and Passover, April 21, 751 BC or from the full moon and Passover April 1, 752 BC.
"Philip II, 247–249 AD, Syria, Seleucis and Pieria, Antioch, AR Tetradrachm, struck 248-249 AD" with the phoenix.
"CONSTANS Phoenix FIREBIRD Antique 348AD Ancient Authentic OLD Roman Coin."
Or the Passover, full moon, Sunday, March 21, 751 BC. The spring equinox was March 23, 751 BC.
The sun darkened on the 49 year jubile on the Passover April 1, 752 BC be like the sun darkened when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD, be like the sun darkened on the full moon and Passover, the darkened sun taken as an omen to assassinate Julius Caesar, March 15, 45 BC = 38 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
The full moon April 1, 752 BC is closer to the date of Jesus' sacrifice the full moon, April 3, 33 AD. Also, 752 BC is a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The founding of Rome may have been darkness at noon on the Passover April 21, 751 BC or April 1, 752 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD when the sun was darkened at noon. Amos prophesied the sun would go down at noon.
Isaiah 13:13 "Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger."
Isaiah 24:20 "The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again."
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
The date of the earthquake is reported as 750 BC; at the death of King Uzziah.
'Fake' Seal Impression of Biblical King Jeroboam Is Authentic, New Study Says"
2 Kings 15:27 "In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years."
Azariah and Uzziah are two different kings. Azariah reigned 38 years from 839 BC to 801 BC. Uzziah reigned 52 years from 801 BC to 751 BC. Thus, this Azariah at 52 years is actually Uzziah.
Archaeologists find jar handle bearing the name “Menahem”.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
Ezekiel 30:18 "At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity."
Isaiah 8:10 "And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day."
Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
King Uzziah may have been Isaiah's uncle.
Thus the mourning for king Uzziah.
Or Isaiah was a priest, and thus be in the temple and see the Lord.
From the founding of Rome in 752 BC at the death of King Uzziah, to the founding of Israel in 1948 AD = 2700 years.
King Uzziah may have died in 750 BC, 16 years for King Jotham, 16 years for King Ahaz, Hezekiah became king in 718 BC or 717 BC. From 718 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
The darkness at 11 AM in Rome when Julius Caesar was assassinated on March 15, 45 BC = noon in Israel at the Passover. Thus, a connection with the founding of Rome in 752 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, the darkness then and the darkness in 45 BC.= 38 years in reverse to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The great earthquake was dated to approximately 759 BC. The sun going down at noon = God moving the sun around the earth very near the speed of light, and the resulting earthquake, may be eight years more recent than 759 BC date, and be this same day, April 21, 751 BC or April 1, 752 BC.
Jesus was on the cross and darkness from the sixth hour = 12 PM to the ninth hour = 3 PM.
Mark 15:33 "And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour."
There must have been a sun dial near to the cross where Jesus was crucified. The sun dark = disappearing from noon, and reappearing at 3 PM = the sun moved 360° around the earth at the speed of light in one hour, overshooting by two hours = the sun at the speed of light accomplished 360° in 55 minutes; 5 more minutes = 60 minutes. 5 / 60 X 24 hours = 2 hours; The shadow lengthened 1 + 2 = 3 hours; the sun would then appear on the sundial at the 3 PM position.
The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD was in 752 BC. Hezekiah's sign also in the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, on the Passover Sunday, March 31, 703 BC.
Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
From 751 BC, 16 years for Jonathan, 16 years for Ahaz, to 718 BC and from 717 BC 14 years to Hezekiah's sign in 703 BC.
From 751 BC 52 years of Uzziah's reign back to 801 BC, and all the chronology fits.
Ahaz must have died in 718 BC/717 BC = the death of emperor P'ing his reign from 769 BC = 800 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Cyrus the Great must have died in 518 BC = the death of emperor King King. Herod rebuilt the temple in 18 BC = 46 years to Jesus speaking at the Passover April 7, 30 AD and the 49th year the jubile on Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In his 48th year, - mow-woo, the 1st year of the prince Goh of tsin, - there was thunder without any clouds. The duke Hwuy of Loo died. In his 49th year, ke-wei, the first year of duke Yin of Loo. In this year, the Ch'un-Ts'ew, begins.."
The Chinese Classics. p.160.
From 769 BC the 48th year = 722 BC, the 49th year = 721 BC, the 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking in Luke 4 from Isaiah 61.
"The Ch'un-ch'iu has been translated into English by Legge (1872). The chronicle is largely concerned with the State of Lu (the birthplace of Confucius) and its interaction with other semi-independent states into which China was divided at this period. Only a formal allegiance was paid to the Chou king by the rulers of individual states...36 eclipses of the sun...February 22, 720 BC, is the earliest from any part of the world."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, by F Richard Stephenson. p.222
You can see this solar eclipse is barely visible from China at sun rise:
BC is simply Before Christ. AD is simply Annos Domini meaning Year of the Lord. The year of the Lord January 1, 1 AD began the Gregorian calendar. In the Julian calendar the year is 365.25 days. This means every four years a day is added like February 29. However, our year is really 365.24 days. This adds up to one extra day every 128 years. From 1 AD, theoretically Jesus' birth, we use the Gregorian Calendar that keeps step with the vernal equinox.
The year 2000 AD had no February 29 = not every four years is a leap year, to keep in step with the seasons.
There are 365.24 days a year, not 365.25 days. Thus, not every four years is a leap year.
The monk Dionysius Exiguus determined year one to be 1 AD in 525 AD.
The year 2000 would be a fourth year for February 29, but to adjust for the century there was no February 29, 2000 AD.
In a reverse orbit there had to be long days that added up to 48 hours. The earth sped up in the reverse orbit needed 48 hours long days to equal the same length of time in a year or there would be 367 days a year. Thus, the counting of February 29 as a 48 hour day in the Roman calendar.
February 23 was the double day in the Roman calendar. There were sun miracles on a February such as Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, Thursday, February 5, 1239 BC. And sun miracles in January. Day one, year one = January 26, 2636 BC. Day 29 of cycle 60, the new moon, January 1, 1174 BC, in winter - 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC.
"If in Adar the sun stands still at noon" = a long day in February.
There may have been many sun miracles when the sun stood still at noon in Adar = February, such as on king Wan's dream. There the noon day sun in Israel stood still for 12 hours while at the same time the sun seen from China stood still under the western horizon. This February 5, 1239 BC, day six of the lunar day, may be in the second month of Adar in Israel. A second month of Adar is added every three years because the moon cycle is eleven days short each year. 3 X 11 = 33 days or about one month.
Instead of a sun miracle when Jericho was taken, possibly two weeks earlier there was a sun miracle when the children of Israel crossed the Jordan river, in the first month February, the tenth day of the lunar month, February 4, 1241 BC - one year later, February 4, 1240 BC may be the second month of Adar when the sun may have stood still at noon. Again, one more year later the sun may stand still at noon on Israel, February 5, 1239 BC and be king Wan's dream = sunset in China.
Joshua 2:6 "But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof."
Flax was harvested in the lunar month of Adar = February.
Jericho was the center of worship of the moon. These two messengers that Joshua sent to Jericho would have been let down the window of Rahab at night, probably the crescent moon, the first quarter moon, February 1, 1241 BC.
The last quarter moon, February 17, 1241 BC, may have risen before the sun in the east = the early and sudden sunrise the day Joshua circled Jericho seven times and the walls of Jericho fell down.
Nevertheless, the sun more likely moved to the other side of earth two weeks before the walls of Jericho fell, at the crossing of the river Jordan by the children of Israel = one very long day.
There are many caves behind Jericho:
Joshua 2:22 "And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not."
Julius Ceasar began the Julian calendar with the new moon January 1, 45 BC. Then February 23, 45 BC was the 23d day of the second lunar month = 5 days before the end of the month.
The sun miracle when Shun became emperor after Yao, day 38 of cycle, perhaps, Friday, February 26, 2246 BC, also was the last quarter moon = lunar day 23.
AM is Anno Mundi. That is Latin for the year of the world 5358 BC in 110 X 49 year jubilees to Jesus' sacrifice, or 5368 BC in 108 X 50 year jubilees. 50 year jubiles from Adam in year 700 in 4668 BC = 4700 years = 94 X 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, and 49 year jubiles from Adam in year 700, 4672 BC; 96 X 49 = 4672 BC.
Or from Adam in year 800 Armenian Sothis, 4568 BC = 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice = 92 X 50 years.
The full moon, May 6, 4668 BC is 11 days after the spring equinox, April 26, 4668 BC. Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is 14 days after the spring equinox, March 20, 33 AD. 4668 / 128 = 37 days. From March 20 - 37 days = April 26, 4668 BC.
Cain killed Abel his brother in this 4568 BC, pointing to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"2. And in the first year of the third jubilee, Cain slew Abel."
Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.23.
From 4668 BC - 2 X 49 years + 2 years "in the third jubilee" 4668 BC - 100 = 4568 BC.
The full moon Thursday/Friday May 10, 4568 BC. 4568 / 128 = 35 days to keep the same tropical date. Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 35 days back from May 10.
Genesis 5:4 either 700th year = Greek Septuagint or 800th year = Hebrew Masoretic.
"Lion Gate (Greek: Πύλη των Λεόντων) is the popular modern name for the main entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae in southern Greece. It was erected during the thirteenth century BC, around 1250 BC, in the northwestern side of the acropolis. In modern times, it was named after the relief sculpture of two lionesses in a heraldic pose that stands above the entrance.[1] The gate is the sole surviving monumental piece of Mycenaean sculpture," 1250 BC Greek was established. The written Greek began about 1500 BC. Cuniform began about 2000 BC.
"Linear Elamite was a writing system used in Elam during the Bronze Age between c. 2300–1850 BC,"
The Greek Septuagint was translated from Hebrew in 230 BC. The Hebrew Masoretic text dates from 930 AD. Thus, the Greek Septuagint translation goes back further.
Noah's flood dates 27 X 49 year jubilees 5th week 5th year = 1323 + 35 + 4 = 1363 years from year 700, 4668 BC to 3307 BC.
The Roman calendar, to make the year an even 365 days, counted February 23, and February 24, as one day. When God moved the sun, there were short days and long days that may have motivated this calendar. Today, we just have February 29 every four years.
"On 16 February 423 BC, the 16th day of the month" may be counting lunar days. The 16th day of the lunar month was February 25, 423 BC Julian, is 11 years more recent, is February 24, 412 BC Julian - nevetheless it should be 7 years more recent in 416 BC. These dates of February 23 and 24 were counted as one day. However, February 16, 423 BC may just be February 16 and not the lunar day. Nevertheless, there were sun miracles recorded in the month of Adar = February.
Seven years more recent, February 16, 423 BC is February 16, 416 BC = the 24th lunar day.
Or 11 years more recent, February 16, 423 BC is the full moon, February 23, 412 BC.
4668 BC points to 4700 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Thus, Friday March 8, 4668 BC was the fourteenth day, the full moon. Year 700 means the calendar backed up one day every four years, 700 / 4 = 175 days. Back from July 23 175 days = February 26, 4668 BC.
Counting from 5372 BC 700 years to 4672 BC, 700 / 4 = 175 days, back 175 days from July 23 is the full moon, Friday, February 20, 4672 BC = the Passover.
Likewise, the Passover, the full moon, April 3, 2307 BC was new years backed up 430 years from the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC. Back from July 16. 430 / 4 = 107. April 3, 2307 BC was 104 days back.
The full moon, April 3, 2307 BC = the full moon March 30, 1281 BC = the full moon on Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The full moon when Joseph was made governor over Egypt, April 1, 2315 BC was this 107 days back. April 1 was Pharaoh's birthday.
Jesus went to the cross on April 3, 33 AD.
New years may be July 11 in the Armenian Calendar, like new years in the Egyptian was July 16.
More likely, the Armenian sothis calendar from further north began a few days or several days later on July 23.
New years was when Sirius first appeared before the sun at dawn July 16 at Cairo Egypt, on July 23 in the Aral Sea seven days later.
Then, king Wan's dream on February 5, 1239 BC, would mean the sun would be one sign earlier in the year than Aries, that is, Pisces.
One year before king Wan's dream when the sun moved 180° back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit, in the first sun miracle by Joshua when the sun moved 180° and earth flowed into the reverse orbit, may be the fallen walls of Jericho, perhaps Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC.
Or more likely the sun moved two years before king Wan's dream, at the crossing of the Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Thus, earth be in a reverse orbit for at least two years, and the sun not move at the conquest of Jericho, but two weeks earlier.
27 X 7 = 189 days. Thus, from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, to Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC is 188 days. 188 / 365 X 48 hours = 24:40 hours, exactly as in the Missing Day Story.
Thus, the sun may have stood still at the crossing of the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, and the sun again must have stood still on the third quarter moon half an orbit later for Joshua, August 10, 1241 BC.
Earth nearest the sun is called the perihelion. Earth farthest from the sun is called the aphelion. This means 90 days after the perihelion to 90 days before the perihelion, earth has swung out and that half orbit is 187 days. From equinox to equinox is half an orbit. Thus, the number of days of a sun miracle before the equinox equal the same number of days before the next equinox = half an orbit when the sun must return.
Earth is farthest from the sun July 4, 2025 AD. But the temperature from the sun in summer is from the angle of earth's axis = 2 or 3 times more. In New York, from 145 watts per square meter in winter to 430 watts per square meter in summer. Earth at 3% closer to the sun is 7% warmer.
"The earth is the farthest away from the sun as it ever gets, so why is it so hot?"
The perihelion moves ahead one day every 58 years. So, at the time of Joshua's long day the perihelion would be about November 1, 1241 BC.
In 4100 BC the Aphelion coincided with the spring equinox, meaning the Periphelion coincided with the fall equinox. The fall equinox in 4100 BC was in October 24. Thus 3000 years later in 1241 BC, this nearest earth, the Periphelion, would occur in this November in the Julian calendar.
Today, December 16, 2020, the sun sets one minute later, even though the winter solstice is 4 days away. This is because earth speeds up its orbit as we approach the perihelion, nearest approach of the sun. Earth loses one full day in our counterclockwise orbit of the sun because orbit is with earth's rotation.
That is, there are 366 sidreal days a year. So, our days are 4 minutes longer = one less day a year. Simply we rotate as we orbit = 366 days sideral but is 365 days.
Likewise, earth orbiting the sun in reverse rotation is against orbit. Earth must speed up its orbit by 48 hours or we would have an orbit of 367 days.
24 hours divided by 365 days = 4 minutes a day. 24/365 X 60. Likewise, as earth speeds up this same direction in December 16, the day is one minute longer.
February 4, 1240 BC is a last quarter orbit, day 21 of the first lunar month, about 97 days, from earth's nearest approach to the sun, November 1, 1240 BC. Over the past 7000 years earth's nearest approach of the sun has shifted from September to January. Thus, the half orbit from 12 PM February 4, 1241 BC to 12 PM August 10, 1241 BC is the 188 days.
The perihelion moves forward one day every 58 years = 34 days in 2000 years. Joshua's long day in August 10, 1241 BC = 1241 / 128 = 9 days that the calendar must be moved back to keep in the same season. 1240 years / 58 = 21 days. 34 days + 21 days + 9 days = 64 days. The perihelion in January 4, 2023 in 1241 BC = November 1, 1241 BC.
Then the sun could move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC. For there to be 365 days a reverse orbit year earth must speed up 48 hours in its orbit around the sun. Else there would be 367 days a year because rotation is against orbit.
Then the sun may have stood still at the crossing of the Jordan river February 4, 1241 BC and half an orbit later = 188 days. 188 / 365.25 X 48 hours = 24:42 hours exactly = the same 40 minutes missing from 24 hours in the Missing Day Story.
Earth is nearest the sun in January = the normal sped up half. From February 4, 1241 BC to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC is the slower half = 23:20 hours = 40 more minutes to 24 hours, that are regained when the sun returned one and a half orbits later February 5, 1241 BC = 24:40 hours, adding 48 hours sped up reverse orbit. There must be at least two years of reverse orbit.
February 5, 1239 BC is two weeks earlier, more or less the same quarter orbit from earth's nearest approach to the sun.
The fall of Jericho was on Saturday. This must have been Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC.
However, there need not be a sun miracle at the fall of Jericho.
Joshua did not give the people a Sabbath day of rest. Thus, the day of Joshua's conquest might have been on a Sabbath, Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or more likely, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Then, the sun must return one and a half years after the sun miracle on Joshua's long day - on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
Or a sun miracle at Joshua's crossing of the dried up river bed of the Jordan when Jordan was in full flood, February 4, 1241 BC and the sun return two years later February 5, 1239 BC.
In the book of Enoch a 364 calendar is used of 52 weeks. Thus, if there was a sun miracle on a Sabbath, the sun may return one year later also on a Sabbath. Perhaps the sun miracle of Joshua's long day was noted thus.
Or there were more sun miracles on the Sabbath, thus the 364 day calendar. The Essenes used a 364 day calendar. Even a 364 day calendar from the Book of Jubilees = the truth because of so many accurate dates from Genesis. Only, the fixed calendar was not kept, only the lunar calendar was kept = the Exodus the full moon Friday March 29 1281 BC, Jesus' sacrifice the full moon Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, was on a Friday = October 7, 29 AD. The first day of the feast of Tabernacles was on a Wednesday, the last day of the feast of Tabernacles was on a Wednesday. The 17th day of the feast of Tabernacles, possibly Jesus' birth day, was on a Friday, October 14, 29 AD one week after he spoke on Yom Kippur in Nazareth.
"And I saw six portals in which the sun rises, and six portals in which the sun sets and the moon rises and sets in these portals, and the leaders of the stars and those whom they lead: six in the east and six in the west, and all following each other in accurately corresponding order..."
The Ethiopian Bible. Book of Enoch. p. 1134.
"The six portals" = the sun may move 180° = six months of the 12 month zodiac.
The sun may have moved February 17, 1241 BC and back February 15, 1240 BC and the day of Joshua's long day on the Sabbath day, August 10, 1241 BC.
However, more likely the sun moved back February 5, 1239 BC. Then two years before be the crossing of the river Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. There was leap year February 29, 1241 BC. Thus, 364 days later be Sunday, February 2, 1240 BC. But king Wan's dream be February 5, 1239 BC.
Exodus 23:29 "I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land."
Joshua's conquest = widespread city-destruction.
Joshua 18:1 "And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
18:2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance."
This reverse orbit should span two or three years to king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
There was conquest, but not full conquest, in the first year, from the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC to the battle at Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, to the conquest of Merom in Joshua 11 that includes the battle of Barak and Deborah in Judges 4, 5 = the same day, probably, February 4, 1240 BC. The battle of Gideon in Judges 6, 7, 8.
The same forty years = these battles in the same year:
Judges 3:11 "And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
Judges 8:28 "Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
At the end of the year, people still lived in the villages = Exodus 23:29. So the wild beasts did not multiply.
At a Veterans hospital it was posted "the war is over, all that is left are the personal battles."
I Corinthians 15:57 "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Then we have about 24 hours of missing time in this half orbit unaccounted for. Earth must speed up 24 hours in half a year of 183 days.
One and a half years = 548 days from summer solstice to winter solstice = 183 days + 365 days = 548 days. However. from the spring equinox to the fall equinox is 186.5 days. And 27 X 7 days = 189 days, from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC to Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC is less one day, is 188 days.
But this half orbit from Sabbath to Sabbath is 189 days, but from Sunday February 4, 1241 BC to Sabbath August 10, 1241 BC, is 188 days, 188/365.2422 X 48 hours = 24 hours 40 minutes. But the sped up first reverse half orbit has 23:20 hours sped up time, and the second reverse half orbit has 24:40 hours sped up time.
Earth is nearest the sun in winter = the sped up half of earth's orbit. In Earth's elliptical orbit, earth accelerates near the sun in this January 3. Thus, from the fall equinox to the spring equinox earth's orbit is sped up = 178 days from the fall equinox to the spring equinox and 186.5 days from the spring equinox to the fall equinox.
The two half orbits: 23 hours 20 minutes and 24 hours 40 minutes. The first half from February 4, 1241 BC to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC is 188 days, but is the slower half orbit. Thus, the 23 hours and 20 minutes sped up orbit from the crossing of the River Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC to Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Equally well, moving the sun at the crossing of the Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, 188 days later, Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. From Sunday to Saturday is 188 days, 1241 BC has leap year February 29. 189 days / 7 = 27. - from Sunday to Sunday - one day short - from Sunday to Saturday is 188 days. 188 / 365 X 48 hours gives the 24:40 hours in the Missing Day Story.
We are still missing 40 minutes from 24 hours at the half orbit of Joshua's long day (24 hours - 23:20 hours = 40 minutes), just like in the missing day story. The sun may only revolve 350° around the earth when Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still in the sky. Thus, the elapsed time would match the missing time of that half orbit exactly.
The elapsed time = time the sun stood still in the sky on Joshua's long day should be 23 hours and 20 minutes. Missing time of the sped up earth reverse orbit, 48 hours, must equal elapsed time the sun stood still or moved east or moved west in 12 hours amounts adding up to 48 hours. The sun must move back 190° half an orbit later, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. Thus, the 10° more than 180° = the missing 40 minutes. Thus, king Wan would see the sun stand just below the western horizon for 12 hours, then rise 10° in the west before setting again in the west when the sun returned and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit. Thus, king Wan lightened the western sky. Thus, the Missing Day story adds up.
Then when the sun returned February 4, 1240 BC or February 5, 1239 BC, the sun must move 190° east to match the 24:40 minutes missing time of the second half reverse orbit. Thus, we may have found the missing 10°. The sun must move 180° back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun February 4, 1240 BC or more likely February 5, 1239 BC. The sun must also move a further 10° back that day, 190°, to make up for the 40 minutes. The word "about" a whole day fits. The sun stood still in the sky for 23 hours and 20 minutes for Joshua. Then we may have found the missing 40 minutes in the missing day story.
The sun may move 350° and not 360° almost a circle at noon on Joshua's long day. That day the sun can be pictured rising in the west to noon - standing still at noon for 24 hours = the sun circling the earth, then setting in the east, then suddenly rising in the east. Then, half an orbit later, when the sun moved back, the sun may move 190°. Then king Wan would see the sun stand still in the west at sunset, and also rise 10° before setting.
The shortest half orbit, the next half orbit of 177 days, is also the more sped up half orbit, from 12 PM August 10, 1241 BC to 12 PM February 4, 1240 BC, or more likely one and a half orbits from Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC to February 5, 1239 BC, less 12 hours because the sun is on the other side of the earth = 177 days 12 hours = 365.24/177.5 X 48 / 4 = 24 hours 42 minutes. Or 365 - 188 = 177. There are 363 X 24 hour long days in reverse orbit. Thus, the 360° reverse orbit of earth would end two days earlier than 365 days, the 48 hours of long days will make the reverse orbit 365 days in time.
Frag. 26 (1 Enoch 79) "Through the sixth gate, for its light is completed.. twenty-five weeks and two days."
25 X 7 = 175, + 2 = 177 days in six months.
Rotation is against orbit, so the number of days and nights would still be 365 days. Nevertheless, from Sunday February 4, 1241 BC to Saturday, February 3, 1240 BC is 363 days. Or from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC to Monday February 4, 1240 BC, is 365 days, and one more year of reverse orbit to king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC is 365 days and 366 days. But from Sunday February 4, 1241 BC to Saturday February 3, 1240 BC is 363 normal days because of leap year February 29 and that there are 52 X 7 = 364 days between the same days of the week.
Thus February 4, 1241 BC the year previous and then February 4, 1240 BC one year later are the same day = 365 days. With long days = 48 hours the length of the year is 363 days + 2 days = 365 days in total length = no net missing time.
The Essenes kept a 364 day calendar so all dates fell on the same day of the week.
King Wan's dream may have been February 5, 1239 BC. Then two years earlier be a long day when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Half an orbit later be Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
The moon takes 24:50 hours to reappear at the same location each day. Earth must be sped up 24:40 hours from August 10, 1241 BC to February 4, 1240 BC. This is a ten minute difference. Earth must be sped up eight minutes a day to equal 48 hours a year. The moon must also be managed to keep the same lunar tides a day. The earth must be managed to keep the same solar tides a day.
To move the sun back in 189 days, 2.5 days longer than the half orbit 186.6 days = a sped up half orbit of 24:50 hours matching the lunar tide.
To move the sun in under the speed of light 360° would take more than 55 minutes. Thus, the difference of the high tide of 24:50 hours against 24 hours may be countered by the length of time to move the sun. 50 more minutes than 24 hours in 360° would mean the gravity from the sun would match the lunar phase 24 hours later.
The transit time of the moon is often 55 minutes later each day = the 55 minutes for the sun to travel around the earth at the speed of light.
The rising of the moon is often 55 minutes later each day as well.
18,000 years ago the sea level was 430 feet lower. Thus, finding measurements of the gravity affect on tides from sun miracles thousands of years ago would be very difficult.
Simply, leaving a gravity pull where the sun and moon would be - as if they did not move with earth's rotation, the gravity from the sun is only 46% of the moon's gravity; then 24:40 hours later or 24:50 hours later when the sun and moon have moved 360°, let there be the gravity pull from the sun and moon again. It takes 8 minutes for gravity from the sun to reach the earth, perhaps the difference from 24:40 hours for the missing day and 24:50 hours for the lunar tide.
The tide opposite the moon is 90%, thus there are two tides a day.
The sun and moon pull on the side of the earth nearest them. The tide on the other side of the earth is from inertia, not from gravity. The moon moves around the earth, so the lunar tide changes. So, yes the gravity tide would match the sun and moon from where they are. The speed of gravity is the same as the speed of light.
The ocean tide on the other side of the earth could be produced by a gravity pull on the other side of the earth. The sun pulling on the same side as earth rotates = the sun and moon standing still in the sky for 12 hours or for 24 hours = the tide staying on the same place as the earth rotates, the far side also staying as the earth rotates. God must have a way to do this.
The speed of light and gravity from the sun to the earth is eight minutes. The speed of light and gravity from the moon is one second. Thus, God may delay moving the moon for eight minutes to keep both in sync in that one second.
The moon orbits the earth in 29.5 days. 24 hours divided by 29 = 50 minutes, 50 minutes a day. About 55 minutes a day. The sun may revolve around the earth 360° at the speed of light in 55 minutes.
Gravity from the moon takes about one second to reach earth. High tides are 12:25 hours apart = 24:50 hours a day = the moon's orbit around the earth. Thus, if the sun and moon moved with earth's rotation the tides would also match their location.
However, the "centrifugal" force on the other side of the earth should continue to produce a high tide on the other side of the earth that is moving. So does that tide on the other side moving with "centrifugal" force stand still with the moon and the sun?
There is no centrifugal tide. The ocean's tide is not moving. So for the sun and moon to stop in the sky both the tide near the sun and moon would stop moving and the tide furthest the sun and moon would stop moving as well.
National Geographic Picture Atlas of OUR UNIVERSE, p.116.
"Gavitation, remember, weakens as distance becomes greater. So the Moon tugs with greater force on that side of Earth facing the Moon, with less force on Earth's far side. Because, on our Earth's far side., the outward pull of centrifugal force is stronger than the inward pull of the Moon's gravitation, another bulge of water forms - our second high tide."
Centrifugal force is in italics. They did not yet know in 1986 that the tide opposite the moon was not from centrifugal forces.
Tides 12 hours apart means that God may keep the gravity pull, both of the sun and the moon, where it normally would be. Then 12 hours later when the sun had stood still for 12 hours, the sun been moved 180°, the "centrifugal tide" would be facing the moon, and then the gravity pull of the moon now be applied - on the "centrifugal" side = now the gravity side. Thus, sun movements can be hidden in tides as well.
The sun rising in the west and setting in the east presently may only take 45 minutes. At this 80% the speed of light, time is slowed 60% and light is dimmed 60% on the surface of the sun. Then the sun and moon be moved 180° and God let the gravity pull from the sun and moon now be applied on the side that was the "centrifugal" side, is almost the same as the gravity side. Likewise the sun rising suddenly in the east may take 40 or 45 minutes to complete 180° and the gravity pull from the sun and moon now be applied on the "centrifugal" side of earth, leaving no evidence to science in the historical traces of tides.
The sun dimmed 60% is equal to a 60% solar eclipse. The dimming of the sun is hardly noticeable.
There is a delay of two days after the new moon or full moon for the enormous mass of water to move to produce the spring tide, that has nothing to do with the season of spring.
Thus, if the sun and moon were to stand still in the sky with earth's rotation there would also be a delay of gravity in earth's rotation and the tide may appear almost normal = just 24 hours long.
The spring tide has nothing to do with spring. There are two high tides a lunar month = two spring tides. One when there is a full moon = the sun and moon at either end of the earth. The second on the new moon to begin or end the lunar month, when the moon and the sun are on the same side as the earth. Thus, two high tides, spring tides, a month.
Likewise the Neap tide on the first quarter moon or the last quarter moon, meaning the gravity pull, the gravity tide, counters itself producing a small tide.
The gravity affect of the earth's orbit makes the sun wobble by 10 centimetres a second and is barely perceptable.

Recording the first daily measurements of Earth's rotation shifts
Using a gyroscope to measure variations in Earth's rotation
Thus, only now are we able to measure acurately the differences in earth's rotation and wobble.
The Canadian Press, December 27, 2022: The tide pushed water levels at Point Aktinson in West Vancouver to a record height of 5.70 metres broke the previous record of 5.61 metres set in 1982. "The same King tide is forecasted for tomorrow."
That day off the coast of California the tide levels rose 7 meters.
"So, tides are enhanced when the Earth is closest to the Sun around January 2 of each year." Equals this first quarter moon, five day moon, Friday, January 7, 2022 AD. That is, the King Tide must begin on the new moon when the sun and moon were together, and the tide build in the next four or five days.
The new moon is Monday, January 31, 2022 at 9:46 PM. Both the sun and moon will be in alignment to produce the greatest tide. The tide builds from Monday = 4.8 meters, and 4.9 meters Tuesday to Thursday.
"High tides get higher, and low tides get lower. Global sea-level rise pushes high tides in only one direction – higher. So half of the 18.6-year lunar cycle counteracts the effect of sea-level rise on high tides, and the other half increases the effect,"
July 14, 2022, BC south coast sees lowest tides in years, cbc.ca Johanna Wagstaffe CBC News Senior Meteorologist:
"We are really seeing three different natural cycles all line up at the same time to bring us some of the lowest tides we have seen in a decade at least here on the south coast of British Columbia for the past few days.
The first one is what we call the spring tide, it has nothing to do with the season of spring. It is the most extreme tide in a month and is connected to the full moon which was this morning. The second cycle is a super moon, the moon is on its closest approach to earth this year. And finally we are getting close to the peak of an 18.6 year lunar cycle - also known as a stand still lunar cycle, even though it peaks in 2024 and 2025, but we are already seeing those impacts now. I was already out here for the extreme low tide at 1 PM today and it was dramatic. I have never seen it this low and I have never seen as many birds fight for feasts that were uncovered by the low tide.
"We are seeing these low tides found on the east side of the country. I checked your tide map and the next few days might be record low for some of you in Alantic Canada. You will have to check your local tide, the local phenomenon really plays a role in where we are seeing the records, but if you are by the ocean it will be real cool to check out over the next couple of days"
"because of an abnormally low tide, a phenomena caused by the high sun of the summer solstice aligning with a full moon closest in its orbit to earth, also called a moon in perigee."
"Rare low tides expose rocks that rode glaciers for hundred of kilometres." "the tide has retreated 15 to 20 centimetres below an average low tide-line" said Richard Dewey, associate director of science at Ocean Networks Canada"
"They are rare but not unexpected." Dewey said. "They often come together this time of year and particularily during summer solstice. The phenomena also creates a long tidal cyce. he said."
"Often we think about high tide and low tides being about six hours apart, but on Wednesday, we had one very low tide at midmorning and high tides were at midnight."
The low tide report is by Nina Grossman. Times colonist - July 16, 2022 / 8:00 am.
"the centrifugal force produced at any point in or on the earth will always be directed away from the moon" NOAA
"Low tide in Venice leaves city of canals nearly dry" 4 AM and 4 PM February 17, 2023. Today, February 18, 2023 is two days before the new moon. The moon is at near perigee, the closest part of its orbit from earth.
The long day may be 350° = almost 24 hours, that is 23:20 hours, the 10° = 40 minutes regained when the sun returned half an orbit later.
For the six day moon in Scorpius/Fang to appear above the setting sun in Virgo in spring for king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, means two years before should be a sun miracle on the crossing of the Jordan River February 4, 1241 BC.
Joshua's long day was on the Sabbath, on a Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Thus, Joshua did not give rest to Israel the Saturday of Joshua's long day, the great day of battle when Israel became a nation. And thus there remains a spiritual rest in Heaven.
August 10, 1241 BC be Joshua's long day and the sun revolved around the earth = day 19 of cycle 60. The sun returned on the same date, February 4, 1240 BC, day 18 of cycle 60.
There are 186.5 days from spring to fall, and 178 days from fall to spring = 365.24 days a year.
The widest part of the analemma is from March 1 to November 1 = 16 minutes ahead in late October and over 12 minutes behind in February. This is not from half an orbit to half an orbit. So, from + 16 minutes half an orbit to about 4 minutes = 20 minutes.
Half an orbit from the widest at November 1, = + 16 minutes, six months to May 1, = + 4 minutes.
Here you can see the analemma outline with dates, in a figure 8, on the globe. The winter half, the sun at the nearest earth, December at the bottom, and June at the top. The sun 8 minutes ahead at September, the sun 8 minutes behind at March = 16 minutes = one 24 hour day in one year. Earth must be sped up by 48 hours. Thus, multiply by two, 2 X 24 hours, is 2 X 16 = 32 minutes at the equinoxes. The winter half is the sped up half of the sped up 48 hours of earth in the reverse orbit.
There are two parts to the analemma, earth's eccentric orbit and the angle of earth's axis.
The sped up half orbit = the 23:20 hours and the 24:40 hours. The angle of earth's axis = moving the sun up or down after moving the sun to the other side of earth.
There are 365.24 days a year. Because earth turns 366 days in the sidereal year, but with earth's orbit there are 365 days, one day is lost to earth's rotation = one year for one 24 hour day = the difference. In the reverse orbit earth must be sped up 48 hours, or there would be 367 days a year. Now we have two days to apply to the orbit. In the analemma the time difference from the spring equinox to the fall equinox is 16 minutes, 8 + 8 as you can see on this globe. In the reverse orbit the orbit is sped up two days.
Then the time difference in the analemma in this situation is 2 X 16, two days, = 32 minutes = the sped up time of 186.5 days in one year of 365.24 days multiplied by 48 hours: 23:30 hours and 24:30 hours = 48 hours.
A globe 360° X 180° = 64,800°? No. 41,253° = 4 Pi steradians / 48 = Pi / 12 steradians. 41,253° / 4 = 13,128°.
You can see a square mesh to the bottom left = 1,000 miles by 1,000 miles. You can see the figure 8 analemma over Israel:
Here you can see the analemma again:
You can also see the path from the tropic of Capricorn 23° below the equator in the south, in the orange line from the bottom right to the equator on the left. The line continues to the tropic of Cancer 23° north of the equator.
The sped up earth orbit to make 365 days in a reverse orbit instead of 367 days = 48 hours sped up time, is spread out. Thus, 188 days / 365.24 days X 48 hours is the sped up half orbit = 23:20 hours = the missing time of 40 minutes = 24 hours.
This is similar to the analemma.
Yes, there is the equation of time of 32 minutes. But the sped up orbit of 48 hours in one year is more to do with spreading out that 48 hours evenly over earth's elliptical orbit.
Here you can see the eight minutes behind and the eight minutes ahead at the equinox = 16 minutes. At the widest the analemma is 32 minutes, but 16 minutes at the equinox. In the reverse orbit earth is sped up 48 hours = 2 X 24 hours. Thus, 2 X 16 minutes = 32 minutes: 24:30 hours and 23:30 hours = 48 hours sped up orbit. Thus, 188 days from February 4, 1241 BC to August 10, 1241 BC, there are two more days than 186 days to the equinoxes. Then this first half be 23:20 hours sped up orbit, and from August 10, 1241 BC to February 4, 1240 BC be 24:40 hours sped up orbit.
The sun is nearest the earth on January 3 and furthest from the earth on July 3. Thus, the sped up half orbit.
Moving the sun to the other side of the earth at the equinoxes means the sun does not need to be moved up or down to keep earth in the same season. Meaning also earth's orbit does not need to be tilted either when earth is at the equinoxes.
You will read here of many times the sun must move up or down to keep earth in the same season.
Yet earth's orbit is not tilted. The sun is moved to where the earth would be in six months = 180° = the zodiac. The plane of earth's orbit is the same as always = no tilt to earth's orbit. Only, the sun would appear to be above or below where it would normally be, and would keep earth in the same season, earth now orbiting the sun in reverse. The path of the sun through the constellations is the same, the same zodiac, only six months, 180° away, as earth orbited the sun in reverse.
Moving the sun up or down when moving the sun to the other side of earth, to keep earth in the same season, has the result the path of the sun is through the same stars as normal = the same path of the zodiak, only 180° away and in reverse as earth is in a reverse orbit.
Moving the sun to the other side of the earth at the same elevation in the sky to keep the same season on the earth, has the effect the sun passes through the same path of the zodiac as earth passes around the sun in the reverse orbit as the sun does in a normal orbi. Only the sun is now on the other side of the earth = six months away and earth in a reverse orbit.
The planets can all be moved back 180° each time, at each half orbit point.
Hebrews 4:8 "For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."
Joshua's long day may have been the Sabbath, Saturday, August 11, 1241 BC.
1 Kings 20:29 "And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day."
Earth orbits the sun faster when it is nearer the sun in winter. So if you can picture, this applied to the 24 hours sped up half orbit is also 32 minutes shorter = a 23 hours 30 minutes more sped up first half orbit and a 24 hours 30 minutes more sped up second half orbit = 48 hours. The half orbit is 186.5 days. Thus, 188 days is 1.5 days longer.
Thus, at 8 minutes a day sped up reverse orbit (48 X 60)/365.24 = 8 minutes a day. Thus, the sped up second half reverse orbit has 24 hours 40 minutes missing time = sped up time, and the first half reverse orbit has 23 hours 20 minutes missing time equaling the two extra days in a complete reverse orbit. Thus, the reverse year is 365.24 days and not 367.24 days.
The analemma from a sun dial "It reaches + or - 16 minutes = 32 minutes maximum difference. This is different than spreading out the sped up 48 hours evenly over earth's orbit.
The missing time from earth's sped up orbit that is more than 24 hours, is the missing time of the fall/winter half reverse orbit.
The missing time in the analemma adds up to 32 minutes.
But this is different than the 32 minutes of spreading out 48 hours sped up orbit to 24:30 hours and 23:30 hours to equal 48 hours.
Joshua's long day was an exception because from Sunday to Sabbath is 188 days, from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC to Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. 188 days not 186 days.
For the typical 186 days, this equals 23 hours and 30 minutes, and 24 hours and 30 minutes. Two, half reverse orbits, over fall and winter, together add up to one hour of missing time that must equal one hour of elapsed time. The sun circling earth very near the speed of light, earth in darkness for one hour, would amount to one hour of elapsed time on earth. Together the net result would be no net missing time on earth.
But from February 4, 1241 BC to August 10, 1241 BC is 188 days. 188 / 365.24 X 48 hours = 24:42 hours and 23: 38 hours = the missing day of 24 hours, and also the missing 40 minutes.
The sun and moon create tides. The sun has a tide 46% of the tide of the moon. Simply, if the tides moved with the sun and moon, the tides would match the day time = the sun, and the moon would match the position of the moon. If the sun were moved at or very near the speed of light there would be no gravity pull from the sun as well as no light. If a gravity pull was left at the point the sun started moving, that gravity pull would equal the usual solar tide. God would probably go further and leave solar and lunar tides at their expected times. And thus, there would also be no evidence of sun movements in tides either because the day would match the tide = gravity pull.
"the saros cycle and nodal return are problematic for a number of reasons.."
"Geochemical records from Elk Lake, northwestern Minnesota, showed three peaks of AI accumulation rates at 7740 BP (Sothis year 1038 from 6828 BC = 5790 BC = 1950 AD back 7740 years BP to 5790 BC), 5900 (3950 BC = the Armenian Sothis 3907 BC and 3945 BC is 38 years about this 3950 BC), and 4240 BP (2290 BC when Jacob died) BP (Before Present 1950 AD using radio carbon dating)
researchgate,net
There were 223 lunar months in 18 years 11 days called a Saros cycle. Likewise there were 19 year cycles on the same date every 19 years = less the 11 days in the next year, year 19 = the same date.
When the sun rose in the west and set in the east there may be an affect on tides simply because of the movement of gravity, and that tide could be different pulling west to east. Likewise, when the sun suddenly ascended in the east the tide should be much quicker.
Nevertheless, simply leaving the gravity pull with the sun and moon would equal the day and the tide exactly. There may be no way to tell that the sun and moon stood still for a long time while earth rotated. The daylight and the sun and the lunar and solar tide would match exactly. Even the sun and moon travelling west to east, that is the sun rising in the west and setting in the east, may not leave a trace of anything unusual in the solar and lunar tides.
There are two high tides a day, every 12 hours. Simply the tide nearest the moon and the tide on the far side of the moon, the "centrifugal tide".
There is a lunar tide every 12 hours. The solar tide is the same every 24 hours, but is counted as a variation of the lunar tide.
The lunar tide is one hour thirteen minutes later every day.
The tide nearest the moon is from gravity. The next tide 12 hours later is from "centrifugal" force, not gravity.
The next tide is when the moon is furthest away 12 hours later. This bulge is slightly smaller than the tide nearest the moon.
There are two high tides a month called the spring tide. There is the well known tide, the spring tide, at the full moon. However, there is also the spring tide of the new moon that is even more pronounced. Both take effect 24 hours or 48 hours after the full or new moon. There is also the first quarter moon and the last quarter moon when the moon is at right angles to the sun. These tides cancel out each other and are known as the small tides.
Some sun miracles were on the first quarter moon; the sun returning one and a half an orbits after Joshua's long day, on the six day moon, February 5, 1239 BC and the darkened sun = the sun revolving around the earth at or very near the speed of light, at the fall of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC = the seven day moon. A solar eclipse can only be on a new moon.
There is a prograde tide and a retrograde tide. Thus, when God moved the sun, and moon, west to east, the resulting tide may be like the naturally occurring retrograde tide.
When God moved the sun and the moon, He would also move the sun up or down to keep earth in the same season. This should produce the same effect as if it was a normal day on earth = the gravitational pull should be the same. Likewise, for the moon, moving the moon up or down and the gravitational pull from the moon should be the same.
If God moved the sun to the other side of earth on the spring or fall equinox, He would not need to move the sun up or down.
There are two high tides and two low tides a day, as you can see in this diagram.
There is the prograde lunar tide closest to the moon. Then there is the tide furthest from the moon from the "centrifugal" force. Then there is the retrograde tide of the sun, the side nearest the sun and the "centrifugal" side furthest from the sun. The solar tide is 46% of the lunar tide. Mostly it is the lunar tide that is spoken of.
The moon moves west to east more and more each day. That is, the moon rises 50 minutes later each evening. Thus, the prograde direction of the moon, and the retrograde direction of the day, of the sun.
The sun at the top left appears to travel west each day. The moon at the top right moves gradually the other way, about a hour a day; 24 hours / 29.5 days. = 50 minutes later the moon rises each day. Likewise, the "centrifugal" force opposite the gravity pull = 180° for both the moon and the sun.
Lunar and Solar Torques on the Oceanic Tides, last page.
Here you see a low tide in north California, from Sea Scapes at Trinidad Beach. The high tide goes to the green growth as seen on this rock. There are some millions of daily tides back to Bible times. There must be some way to detect the remnants of each high tide.
The effect of gravity is immediate. However, it takes more than 24 hours to build the high tide of the full moon. On the other side of earth the high tide is not from gravity, but from "centrifugal" force. Then, perhaps the sun rising in the west would produce a west to east "centrifugal" force that would stop immediately east of China. The sun suddenly then would move west to east on Sunday, the resurrection, April 5, 33 AD. Thus, changes in the sun and moon movements would need control to keep the tides in control.
Days equal dates on the calendar of orbital simulations. Tides, including the height they would have been, also must match dates because the moon must move with the sun. The duration of the solar and lunar tides would be shorter or longer or reverse on the day the sun and moon travelled 180° or more west or east. Solar tides in a reverse orbit would be identical to the day and date of course. Days must have been 8 minutes shorter to keep 365 days in the year.
(365 X 8) / 60 = 48.66 hours of sped up time in a reverse orbit year.
That is, 4 minutes less daylight and 4 minutes less night each day. Also, the solar tide would progress 1° east each day instead of west in a reverse orbit, progressing backward.
The orbits of the solar system cannot have matched continuous time even after the counter miracle of a sudden sunset because reverse orbits must have been 48 hours short to keep the 365 day year. Also, if there were 365 days a year in the reverse orbit there would be no trace that there was a reverse orbit.
"The axis wobble has two major cycles with the annual tide circling the planet every twelve months and the Chandler tide about every 14.29 months...Gravitational tides simply add several new cycles into the equation because of the earth's spin rate, moon's elliptical orbit around the earth and earth's elliptical orbit around the sun."
The Earth's Shifting Axis, by Mac B. Strain. p.108
The Chinese wrote that the Yin Yang "was as day emerges from night and as low tide follows high tide".
The Cambridge Encyclopedia of China
Thus when God moved the moon with the sun and the tides followed this stable pattern remained and the Chinese associated this stable pattern with the Yin Yang. All may change but Jesus never. All this can be managed in a reverse orbit of the sun, there is no difference in tides in a reverse orbit.
"While high tide occurs twice each day, the high tide that occurs at the furthest point from the moon is generally less pronounced than when that area faces the moon."
"if the moon were the only thing causing tides, there would be only one high and one low tide per day." "Centrifugal" force "causes the waters to be thrown into a bulge on the other side of the earth as well." "the sun does'nt affect the tide noticeably..but when the moon is aligned with the sun"..during first quarter or last quarter moon the sun and moon are at nearly right angles..and each cancels out the gravitational pull of the other...neap tides are particularily weak tides."
How things Work - the Moon and Tides, by David Young.
Spring tide = the sun and moon either together or opposite each other = the high tide. Neap tide = the first quarter or last quarter moon and the tides are at right angles. Thus, tide records during sun miracles, often during spring tides = full moon and new moon, and neap tides = 7th day moon and 21st day moon, may not show anything very unusual.
The astronomical origin of tides You will see Neap tides, such as a third quarter moon like August 10, 1241 BC, or a first quarter moon, February 5, 1239 BC, cancel eachother.
The expectation that science can detect tides thousands of years ago to the detail of sun miracles may be over rated.
There are 24 verses about waves in the Bible, these six in the New Testament. God controls the wind and the sea. If God can control the waves He can control the tides.
Matthew 8:24 "And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep."
Matthew 14:24 "But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary."
Mark 4:37 "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full."
Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;"
Acts 27:41 "And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves."
Jude 1:13 "Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever."
Today, June 16, 2018, there is a very low tide on the BC west coast. This is the new moon, that means the side nearest the sun and furthest from the sun bulge and between this bulge is a low tide, a flattening effect between the high tides. The moon is also at its most northern point in its orbit and at its nearest point in its orbit this year to produce this effect.
"But if they do agree with his prediction - if it should be discovered and submitted that two revolutions of the lunar apes are necessary, in order that it may advance through all the signs of the zodiac, this position will have been reached, as a result of this crucial test, that apparently incompatible, not to say impossible, conditions are found to coexist - for how can the same relations make simultaneously an entire revolution in space when compared from one point, and only a half revolution when compared from another?"
Astronomical Investigations; the Cosmical Relations of the Revolution of the Lunar Apsides. Oceanic Tides, Introduction, p.21
Wimps = weakly interacting massive particles pass through our solar system, so that for half a year earth's orbit heads into their path, and likewise for half a year earth heads away from their path. When earth had flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun, that would mean the other half orbit would head into the direction of the wimps. Of course we can hardly detect them now, let alone back then. And there is almost no trace once the particles have passed through.
To measure the speed of a spiral galaxy's rotation, the measurement is made on an edge wise galaxy not the face. Like this measurement of Wimps, the speed part of the spiral galaxy moves away from us and toward us gives the speed the galaxy rotates.
Over perhaps a dozen 360° circles of the sun very near the speed of light around the earth over thousands of years, in Old Testament times, of one hour each = 12 hours the sun is younger than the earth. The sun standing still in the sky at 1/30 the speed of light for 24 hours would add up to a few minutes of slowed time on the sun. Although, at 1/30th the speed of light Relativity means only minutes of lost time, over many of these sun miracles even minutes add up.
Thus, the darkness at the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC and the darkness when Jesus was on the cross at noon April 3, 33 AD must both be the sun darkened in its going forth (at or very near the speed of light). It takes almost an hour for the sun to move around the earth at the speed of light. Two events, 2 X 360° = two hours.
Deuteronomy 28:29 "And thou shalt grope at noondayH6672, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee."
Job 5:14 "They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noondayH6672 as in the night."
Dark at noon = darkness at the fall of Jerusalem and darkness when Jesus was on the cross at noon. Dark at the brightest time of day.
H6672 צֹהַר tsôhar tso'-har From H6671; a light (that is, window); dual double light, that is, noon: - midday, noon (-day, -tide), window. Total KJV occurrences: 24
The full tide - the spring tide on the new moon tide at noon would be a full tide.
The full tide - the spring tide on the full moon at noon would be a full tide.
In total, the sun could be about 12 hours younger than earth, 12 times one hour, 12 times the sun was darkened = the sun is 12 hours younger, or the sun is at least 2 hours younger than the earth darkness at noon = September 7, 591 BC and April 3, 33 AD.
From the lunar eclipse, (barely visible in Israel) October 7, 32 AD to the lunar eclipse (partial in Israel) = half an orbit, April 3, 33 AD = at 7:30 PM at sunset on the day of Jesus' crucifixion.
Sun miracles may happen every six months in a reverse orbit year.
Or the sped up earth of 48 hours sped up reverse orbit add up the sped up hours to be countered by the sun standing still on one side of the earth = 48 hours longer days each reverse orbit year.
The sun may be moved on these half orbit dates:
The first sun miracle Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD, followed by the Passover April 7, 30 AD.
The next sun miracle the last day of the feast of tabernacles, on the 22nd day moon, October 7, 30 AD, followed by a sun miracle the 25th day moon, April 7, 31 AD.
The next sun miracle the new moon, October 7, 31 AD, followed by a sun miracle followed by a sun miracle on the 7th day of the first month, April 7, 32 AD.
The next sun miracle the full moon, October 7, 32 AD = the first day of tabernacles, followed by a sun miracle on the Passover, Jesus' crucifixion, April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur, Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
That is, from the first day of the feast of tabernacles, the full moon in the seventh month, this October 7, 32 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is half an orbit. God may moved the sun October 7, 32 AD and earth flow into a reverse orbit, then God may move the sun back April 3, 33 AD and earth flow out of the reverse orbit.
Or, God may move the sun 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, October 7, 29 AD and back again 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, April 3, 33 AD. = 14 X 12 hours = 3.5 X 48 hours = 168 hours total.
Image from TheSky Software Bisque April 3, 7:30PM Jerusalem 33 AD:
Here you can see the lunar eclipse visible in Israel at 7:30 PM, the night of Jesus' crucifixion, at moon rise, would be visible in China:
From lunar eclipse, October 19, 31 AD to lunar eclipse (not visible in Israel) April 14, 32 AD. Sun miracles may have occurred on these lunar eclipse days and be mistaken for just naturally occurring lunar eclipses. From eclipse to eclipse are exactly half orbits.
These two 30 minute segments may be like two ministers of the gospel speaking for 30 minutes each, for a full hour.
However, we are calculating the sped up 48 hours a full year, and the half point portion of that reverse orbit. Thus, two half winter orbits have 30 more minutes sped up time than 24 hours = one full hour = the hour the sun God moved at the speed of light = time stopped on the sun for one hour.
From the day of Atonement, Friday, Yom Kippur, October 3, 32 AD is half an orbit of 182 days to the Passover and Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
John 7:2 "Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand."
The feast of tabernacles was five days after Yom Kippur.
The sped up year is 363.24 days long in time, 365.24 days in sunrises.
The sun would remain at the back of the Israelites as they pursued the enemy to the west into the Ajalon Valley.
Thus, God may have moved the sun from inertia to 40 million miles hour to pass west east as the sun usually passes east west that day, and slowed the movement of the sun at noon to 20 million miles per hour to stand still in the sky for 24 hours.
However, that day may have started out as a normal day. Then God must have moved the sun at 20 million miles an hour to stand still in the sky for Joshua for 24 hours and move the sun 360°.
Possibly God hastened the sun from noon to set in the east at 40 million miles per hour again and stop below the eastern horizon so there be dark for a few hours.
Thus perhaps God stopped the sun from moving at noon, because the sun was moving west to east.
Or, God simply moved the sun, at 20 million miles per hour, to make the sun stand still in the sky. Then the sun would appear to stop in the middle of the sky for 12 or 24 hours. Earth already in a reverse orbit means the sun should stand still at noon over Israel for 24 hours for Joshua's long day.
God may have intended the sun to move 3 X 180° east to stand still at noon for 36 hours when the sun would return February 4, 1240 BC = one year after the sun moved 180° west, to the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit, on the crossing of the Jordan, February, 4, 1241 BC.
Instead, God moved the sun 2 X 180° with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still at noon for 24 hours. There must be 48 hours of net long days in a reverse orbit so there would be 365 days and not 367 days a year = the 24 more hours either on Joshua's long day or one year and six months later on king Wan's dream.
Psalm 19:4 "Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race."
"Psalm 19 imagines the sun racing across the sky like a warriour running on his path, and that mythological imagery is probably behind the verb "hasten" here."
The Hebrew Bible, by Robert Alter, PROPHETS, p.39.
Romans 10:18 "But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."
This is not mythological imagery. Both Psalm 19 and Joshua 10:13 picture the sun as moving.
Nevertheless, Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC may have been a normal day. Only the earth probably was already in a reverse orbit from February 4, 1241 BC.
Even the sun miracle of Joshua's long day, a normal orbit, a normal day when Joshua made his request, one and a half orbits later was king Wan's dream - to start with Joshua's long day.
And also, Hezekiah's sign, the sun passing west to east did mean the sun was moving.
Genesis 37:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
Genesis 41:45 "And Pharaoh turned the name of Joseph, and called him by the Egyptian language, The Saviour of the World; and he gave him to Joseph a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of Heliopolis, that is, The City of the Sun. And so Joseph went out into the land of Egypt."
Isaiah 19:18 "In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction."
"Since the words sun and destruction are very similar in Hebrew, involving the difference of only one letter, it is possible that one of the two readings is an error." More likely Heliopolis was denigraded to city of destructionH2041.
The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible, Isaiah. p.299.
You cand see the one letter changed the word sun with the word destruction:
H2041 הֶרֶס heres heh'-res From H2040; demolition: - destruction. Total KJV occurrences: 1
H2775 חַרְסָה חֶרֶס cheres charsâh kheh'-res, khar'-saw From an unused root meaning to scrape; the itch; also (perhaps from the mediating idea of H2777) the sun: - itch, sun. Total KJV occurrences: 4
That is, "the city of the sun" = Heliopolis.
Thus, this April 1, 2315 BC that was when the sun stood still for nine days when Yao was made emperor of China, equal the sun standing still on Egypt the day Joseph was made governor over the land of Egypt - Potipherah being a priest of the City of the Sun. This Heliopolis be the home of the Bennu bird, the phoenix, that moved the sun to the other side of the earth.
Even Joseph when he was 17 and dreamed in 2328 BC knew God moved the sun at certain times. Joshua too would know God was moving the sun from west to east that day, or that this was half an orbit after a sun miracle when the sun should move back.
Genesis 37:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
His request was understood as to stop the sun, either to slow the sun's west to east movement that day, or to make the sun stand still in the sky at noon that day for 12 or 24 hours.
Most likely, Joshua's long day was at the half orbit point in a reverse orbit from February 4, 1241 BC = August 10, 1241 BC, and God answered Joshua's prayer to make the sun stand still at noon by moving the sun at 20 million miles per hour around the earth for 24 hours and 360°, and earth continue in the reverse orbit of the sun.
Possibly the sun and moon hastened not to go down because the sun was moving west to east that day.
Then the sun would be moved at twice the rate for the sun to stand still in the sky to set in the east.
God must move the sun at 20 million miles per hour to make it stand still in the sky with earth's rotation.
That is, God must move the sun 2 X 20 million miles per hour for the sun to rise in the west, and or, for the sun to set in the east at the same rate = a 12 hour day, as the sun normally passes east to west = the sun would pass west to east.
Then Joshua would know God was moving the sun that day, and ask Him to stop the sun in the sky, because normally as earth rotates, the sun travels east to west, and yet the sun is standing still.
Earth must complete 360° around the sun in reverse in one year less two days, 48 hours, because of the sped up orbit, or we would have 367 days that year.
Thus, the reverse orbit started Sunday February 4, 1241 BC the sun moved back Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC on Joshua's long day, and the sun move either 360°, or back again and earth continue in the reverse orbit to king Wan's dream two years later on February 5, 1239 BC. Thus, from February 4 to February 5 is a 365 day year and a 366 day year.
In Yao's canon and Yao's sun miracle = the fulfillment of Joseph's dream when Joseph was made governor over Egypt, from 2315 BC it was stated a full year is 366 days = the sun standing still for 10 days and returning 366 days later.
There were two days worth, 48 hours, of longer days to give the normal 365.24 days of time of a normal year because of earth's sped up two days, 48 hours to give 365.24 days.
Thus, at the end of the reverse orbit year the sun return. That is while God moved the sun with earth's rotation at noon in Israel for 12 hours, God moved the sun back, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then the sun stand still at noon on Israel for 12 hours while the sun on China stand still at sunset below the western horizon for 12 hours on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC..
From sudden sunrise Saturday, February 4, 1241 BC = leap year and a February 29, to one full year to February 4, 1240 BC, and one full year more plus one day to February 5, 1239 BC.
"Crack making on day xinmao, 28, Ji divined: The King should host Jupiter. It will not rain. Divined: It should be 2 penned up sheep. 2nd month."
Heji, 25148
February 5, 1239 BC is day 24 of cycle 60, one more year later February 5, 1238 BC, is day 28 of cycle 60. Jupiter was to be beside the sun that day. King Wan records the sun miracle in the first month. The emperor of China may have recorded the sun miracle the same date, February 5, 1238 BC as the 2nd month.
Nevertheless, king Wan's dream most likely was the sixth day of the first month, February 5, 1239 BC. Then, there must be a sun miracle February 4, 1240 BC one year earlier and equal the battle of Merom in Joshua 11, and the battle of Deborah and Barak in Judges 4 and 5.
The five planets were in conjunction in Fang/Scorpius above the setting sun, in Virgo, at the beginning of king Wan's dream probably February 5, 1239 BC. Jupiter in its orbit, if Jupiter did not move 180° at the first sun movement, February 4, 1241 BC. Then when the sun moved back 180° February 4, 1240 BC and one year later on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
Then on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, Jupiter would also move 180° and appear just above the sun in its normal position when the sun set, after 12 hours of sunset, just above the sun. Thus, Jupiter would move 180° from Scorpius to Aries, February 5, 1239 BC.
February 5, 1239 BC Jupiter was not as near to the sun, as seen from earth, but was near Saturn = both in Scorpius / Fang. Thus, perhaps the reason for the Chinese to feel moved to sacrifice to Jupiter.
Then the sun returned 365 days after it first moved perhaps at midnight February 16, 1241 BC, or more likely February 4, 1241 BC and the sun move back two years later February 5, 1239 BC.
Thus, there is no net missing time and solar eclipse paths recorded are as we would expect them to be working backwards in physics before and after sun movements.
"In the time of Hwang-te (2656 BC), there had been a prophesy to the effect that 'the chief of the west should become king in a certain kea-tze year'."
The Chinese Classics. p.142.
Abraham born, day 57 of cycle 60, the 50th year of Huangdi from 2656 BC; phoenixes appeared = October 18, 2607 BC. 2607 BC / 128 = 20 days difference from our Gregorian calendar to the Julian calendar. Autumn in 2607 BC was October 13. Autumn in 7 BC was September 22. Jesus born September 12, 7 BC. Both Abraham and Jesus were born in Autumn.
There were sun miracles on a keatze year, such as the first year of emperor Chuen-heuh in 2515 BC, and 1195 BC when king Wan received the bright appointment of Heaven, There were sun miracles on a keatze day, such as on May 8, 1174 BC.
Day 1 of 60, a keatze day, is the new moon, May 22, 1195 BC, the 32nd year of Te-sin, Di Xin, from 1126 BC is a planetary gathering that must be a sun miracle = the planets moved out of the way of the sun..
East Asian Astronomy. p.240:
BC ~25th century China. The 13th year from 2515 BC = 2503 BC:
"The Hong fan zhuan says: 'Calendrical records began with Emperor Zhuan Xu' Superior Epoch of Grand Commencement in the year yanmeng shetige, in the month bizou, on the new moon day jisi [6], the Beginning of Spring. when the seven luminaries gathered at the fifth du of YINGSHI [LM[."
[Xin Tang shu] ch. 27.
Here you see the month Bizou, about day 6 of cycle 60, December 27, 2504 BC:
Here you see a three planet conjunction recorded by Chuen-Heuh in his 13th year, on the new moon, day 7 of cycle 60, the beginning of Spring, February 25, 2503 BC. Venus is a little to the right of the sun:
This February 25, 2503 BC, day jisi, day 6 of cycle 60, is a five planet conjunction in February = the five planet conjunction of king Wan also in February, February 5, 1239 BC when God moved the sun and the five planets back 180° and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Here you also see a three out of five planet conjunction recorded by Chuen-Heuh in his 13th year, on the day 6 of cycle 60, April 25, 2503 BC. 2503 BC / 128 = 20 days correction = April 5 = spring. Venus is a little to the right of the sun:
Because none of these dates work - February 25, 2503 BC is the best match, but not all five planets are in alignment - Venus is to the right of the sun. Today, February 18, 2025, all five planets are to the left of the sun in alignment - is rare enough.
The next time the planets will be in aligment will be in 2040 AD.
Because none of these dates work, the planetary alignment may be a result of the planets being moved out of the way of the sun, when the sun was moved 180° back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
God moving the inner planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars out of the way of the sun, and the five planets appear in alignment in the night sky, in the month Bizou about January, in the first month of spring = February, on the new moon, on day 6 of cycle 60 = February 25, 2503 BC.
King Wan's dream is very similar, the five planets moved out of the way of the sun on February 5, 1239 BC, as God moved the sun 180° back for a 12 hour sunset, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Here you will read of several times the planets were moved out of the way of the sun when the sun was being moved back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun:
BC ~ 25th century [China] "The Hong fan zhuan says: 'Calendrical records began with Emperor Zhuan Xu's Superoir Epoch of Grand Commencement in the year yangmeng shetige, in the month bizou, on the new moon day jisi [6], in the Beginning of Spring, when the seven luminaries gathered at the fifth du of YINGSHI [LM 13]."
[Xin Tang shu] ch. 27.
This is the sping of 2503 BC the 13th year from 2515 BC.
From 2515 BC = 52 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 52 X 49 years = 2548 years = 2515 + 32 years.
From the first year of Zhuan Xu in 2515 BC are 200 years to the first year of Yao in 2315 BC. From 2315 BC are 95 years to the first year of Shun in 2220 BC. From 2220 BC are 14 years to a sun miracle in 2207 BC = 2200 years to Jesus' birth. From 2222 BC are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
In Shun's 14th year a sun miracle:
"When the day declined there came a fine and glorious light; and a yellow dragon issued and came to the altar, bearing a scheme on its back, 32 cubits long and 9 cubits broad, in lines of red and green intermingled. The words of which were that he should resign in favour of Yu."
The Chinese Classics. p.116.
From 2636 BC to 2516 BC = 120 years, 2515 BC year one of cycle 60.
Note: "When the emperor, Yao, had been on the throne 70 years, (from 2315 BC = 2245 BC = 38 years to 2207 BC (In his, Shun's, 14th year) = 2200 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.) a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih, and phoenixes appeared in the courtyards of the palace; the pearl grass grew and the admirable grain flourished...the sun and the moon appeared like a pair of gems, and the five planest looked like threaded pearls."
The Chinese Classics, p.113.
BC 1953 (2169 BC) [China]:
"In the time of Yu [the Great, Xia dynasty founder,] the five planets piled up like strung pearls and [Sun and Moon] shone like linked jade annuluses"
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.240. [Gu weishu] ch.30; [Xiaojing gou ming jue; [Taiping yulan] ch, 7.
"the five planets piled up" the planets were moved out of the way of the sun.
1953 BC, corrected to 2169 BC. There is a 180 year correction = 3 X 60 year cycles + 35 years.
"In the 10th year (1699 BC) of emperor Gui [of Xia] the five planets moved in criss-cross fashion, in the middle of the night stars fell like rain and the earth quaked. The E and Loh became dry."
Emperor Gui or Kwei's first year was 1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth. "the earth shook" = the sun being moved around the earth. "the E and Loh became dry" = a change in the weather patterns with the sun movement and earth in a reverse orbit.
Emperor Gui or Kwei, 29th year from 1708 BC = 1679 BC "Three suns appeared together". 1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth. "the earth shook" = the sun being moved around the earth. "the E and Loh became dry" = a change in the weather patterns with the sun movement and earth in a reverse orbit.
The 10th year of emperor Gui / Kwei 1576 BC in East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.241, is corrected.
In the Chinese Classics, Kwei's first year was 1588 BC in the Chinese Classics, corrected by 120 year to 1708 BC, his 10th year 1699 BC. "In the 10th year" from 1708 BC:
"In the 10th year of emperor Gui [of Xia] the five planets moved in criss-cross fashion, in the middle of the night stars fell like rain and the earth quaked. The E and Loh became dry."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.241
The date being wrong, not 1576 BC, but 1699 BC = 123 years = 2 X 60 years = 120 years + 3 years.
The planets do not normally move in a criss-cross fashion = the planets moved out of the way of the sun would make them move in a criss-cross fashion. "stars fell like rain" = meteors would be seen after sunset more readily than after midnight in the reverse orbit = earth in a reverse orbit against the asteroids swirling the other way.
Here you see four of the five planets visible after sunset in December 23, 1699 BC = the tenth month = December, the tenth year from 1708 BC = 1699 BC, of emperor Gui / Kwei:
For a comparison of the planets in July of 1699 BC. The planets criss-cross, but this is not unusual or noteworthy unless there was a sun miracle.
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
"In his, (Wanting/Wending from 1250 BC) 12th year (February 5, 1239 BC), phoenixes collected on mount K'e."
"Note: This was the 1st year of king Wan of Chow. The Chinese Classics."
"In his (Te-sin, Di Xin) 32nd year (May 22, 1195 BC), there was a conjunction of the five planets in Fang. A red crow lighted on the altar to the spirits in the land to Chow"
The Chinese Classics. p.149.
This conjunction in 1195 BC was just like king Wan's dream in 1239 BC when there was a five planet conjunction in Fang/Scorpius. This means the sun was in Virgo in spring, the planets above and setting in the west, as the planets were being moved out of the way of the sun as the sun was being moved 180° from Virgo to Pisces, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, February 1195 BC = king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
A red crow = the phoenix. The ark was taken from Shiloh in Israel in 1200 BC for 20 years to 1179 BC.
The 32nd year of Di Xin from 1226 BC = 1195 BC.
King Wan received the appointment of Heaven in 1195 BC for 9 yeas to 1186 BC = 7 more years to 1179 BC when two suns appeared together and the qilin appeared.
"In the 10th year, (from 1708 BC = 1699 BC), of emperor Gui [of Xia], Kwei, the five planets moved in criss-cross fashion, in the middle of the night stars fell like rain and the earth quaked. The E and Loh became dry."
The Chinese Classics. p.125.
Here you can see Jupiter, Saturn and Venus in conjunction, just before dawn, on day gengzi, in the fourth month, on day 37 of cycle 60, May 8, 1174 BC = the day of Pentecost in Israel:
BC 1059 BC May 28 [China] corrected to May 22, 1195 BC:
1. "In the 32nd year of Di Xin, the five planets gathered in FANG [LM 4]."
[Zhou shuji nian] ch shang.
2. "Present opinion is that there are three gatherings of the five planets in the transmitted records: by this means Zhou and Han [gained] the king ship and Q [acheived the status of] Hegemon. When Zhou was about to attack Yin, the five planets gathered in FANG [LM. 4]
[Song shu - Taiwan zhi] ch. 25
3. "When Zhou was about to attack Yin, the five planets gathered together in FANG [LM 4]"
[wenxian tongkoa] ch. 293 xia
4. "On day jiazi, [1], the sun and moon were like linked jade annuluses and the five planets were like linked pearls. In the morning twilight at dawn Kang Wu reached Muye on the outskirts of Shang and followed Heaven's [command] in punishing [King] Zhou [of Shang]. Hence the blades of the weapons were not bloodied and all under Heaven was pacified".
[Xin lun] zhong. East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Clusters of Multiple Planets, p.241.
Here you see a planetary conjunction on day 1 of cycle 60. But this is a six day moon, not a new moon:
Day 1 of 60 is the new moon, May 22, 1195 BC is the correct date because the chronology the 32nd year of Te-sin, Di Xin, from 1126 BC and is day 1 of cycle 60 is the new moon. All the planets are depicted in a screen shot of the sky. They are not in Fang/Scorpius and they are not in conjunction.
When God moved the sun, he must also move the five planets out of the way of the sun. For the five planets to be in conjunction in Fang/Scorpius, the sun has to be in Virgo. But the month is May when the sun is in Airies. Thus the sun on the other side of the earth would be in Fang/Scorpius, the five planet conjunction setting just above the sun in the west, as it was on king Wan's dream when there was a five planet conjunction in Fang/Sorpius, the six day moon, February 5, 1239 BC.
The 49 year jubile would be in 1193 BC, two years later.
BC 7th century [China]:
1. "When [Duke] Huan of Qi was about to [become] Hegemon, the five planets gathered together in Ji".
[LM 7]. Song Shu, Taiwen zhi] ch.25
2. "When Duke Huan of Qi was about to [become] Hegemon, the five planets gathered in Ji [LM 7]."
[Wenxian tongkao] ch. 293 xia
Huan became emperor on a sun miracle in 718 BC = the death of King Ahaz of Judah. The planets may have been moved to make way for the sun to move around the earth. Thus, the planetary conjunction.
"Present opinion is that there are three gatherings of the five planets in the transmitted records (in 207 BC):"
East Asian Archeeoastronomy, p.241
That is, three gatherings of the five planets from 207 BC to 205 BC; = 200 years to Jesus' birth = sun miracles in 207 BC. The planets were moved out of the way of the sun.
BC 206 November 14-December [China]:
(1) "1st year emperor Gaozu of Han, 10th month, the five planets gathered in DONGJING [LM22]. Extrapolation based on the calendar, [indicates] they followed [the lead of] Jupiter. This was the sign that August emperor Gao received the mandate [of Heaven]. Therefore a retainer said to Zhang Er: DONG[JING] is the territory of Qin. When the King of Han entered Qin the five planets followed Jupiter and gathered together, meaning [he] ought to gain all under Heaven by means of righteousness."
[Han shu . Tianwen zhi] ch. 26
(2) "1st year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, winter, 10th month, the five planets gathered in DONGJING [LM 22], the Duke of Pei reached Bashang."
[Han shu . Gaodi ji] ch.1
(3) "The current judgement is that there are three gatherings of the five planets in the transmitted records:...when Emperor Gao[zu] of Han entered Qin, the five planets gathered in DONGJING [LM 22]."
[Song shu . Tianwen zhi] ch. 25 [Note: the date should be May, 205 BC.]
The date of 206 BC is one year after 207 BC = 200 years before Jesus would be born September 12, 7 BC. Likewise, this was the year Lui P'ang won the war and began the Han dynasty - possibly with the help of an omen of a sun miracle.
May 19, 158 BC:
1. "Emperor Wen of Han, 6th year of the Houyan reign period, 4th month, day yisi [42], the three [planets] Mercury, Jupiter and Mars joined in DONGJING [LM 22]."
[Wenxian tongkao] ch. 293 xia
2. "Emperor Wen of Han, 2nd year (should be the 6th year) of Houyuan reign period, 4th month, day yisi [42], the three [planets] Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars joined in DONGJING [LM 22]."
[Han shu . Tianwen zhi] ch. 26
October 2, 156 BC:
"Emperor Jing of Han, 1st year of the Quinyuan reign period, 7th Month, day yichou [2], the three planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury joined in ZHANG [LM 26]."
[Han shu . Tianwen zhi] ch. 26; [Wenxian tongkao] ch. 293 xia
The seventh month, day 2 of cycle 60, on October 2, 156 BC the planets do not match:
Day 2 of cycle 60 on August 3, 156 BC the planets in ZHANG = Hydra, do match:
Many records of sun miracles record the five planets in conjunction and moving in reverse as they were moved out of the path of the sun.
"In his, emperor Kin, 4th year, 1736 BC, he made the music of the West. The cheif of Keun-woo moved to Heu."
The Chinese Classics. p.123.
1736 BC was a keatze year from 2636 BC. The emperor sometimes moved his capitol when there was the omen of a sun miracle. This was four years before his 8th year when the sun stood still for 10 days.
For a sun miracle to fall on a keatze day the chances are 4 times a reverse orbit year, the first 180° movement of the sun, half an orbit later the sun may move 180° and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Then probably the sun move 180° the next day and earth flow into the reverse orbit of the sun. Then a half orbit later, one year after the first sun movement, the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The half orbit from the fall to the spring equals about 180 days, thus two days may be the same keatze day. Then, with many sun miracles the chances there would be some on a keatze day is pretty good.
In Huangdi's 20th year 2636 BC: "When he was sitting in a boat in the Yuen-hoo, above its junction with the Lo, there came together phoenixes, male and female."
This union of the sun and moon was the first kea-tze year and the first kea-tze day, kea-tze means number one, on the new moon when the sun and moon moved 180° back to Pisces and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit, January 26, 2636 BC. This prophesy was for the new moon to occur on day one of sixty when the sun and moon should move back 180° carried by the red phoenix. Thus all Chinese dates of year 60 and day 60 date from January 26, 2636 BC.
Jesus would be 12 years old on a keatze year from 2636 BC to 5 AD. Jesus born in 7 BC would be 12 in 5 AD.
The year was to begin on a keatze day, to try and make this day one of cycle 60 the first day of the year.
The number 37 occurrs often in the Chinese records. So a keatze year of one, and a sun miracle 37 years later on a gengzi year 37 may mark sun miracles 37 years apart, perhaps pointing to the 38.5 years of Jesus' life.
Luke 2:42 "And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast."
Luke 2:46 "And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers."
Luke 2:49 "And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?"
2 Kings 21:1 "Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah."
Manasseh born in 700 BC, reigned from 688 BC, lived from 700 BC 55 years to 645 BC. There was a solar eclipse in China in 645 BC that does not match any eclipse date. 645 BC equals darkness in China, perhaps the darkness like when Jesus was on the cross. There was recorded a solar eclipse for about 645 BC when there was none for that year, or years previous or years after. The full moon, and Passover, Friday, March 19, 645 BC = 38 years in reverse to 607 BC.
Meteor showers may be expected when God moved the sun to the other side of the earth because earth was going in a new direction and hitting asteroids head on, before midnight rather than after midnight = more observable.
The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is between 2.2 and 3.2 astronomical units from the sun = between 1.2 and 2.2 astronomical units from earth.
This means when God moved the sun around the earth, these asteroids would be in the way of the sun and there may be meteor showers.
"In his (King Seang) 3d year (647 BC), it rained gold in Tsin."
The Chinese Classics. p.163.
"In his (King Ching) 34th year (1135 BC) it rained gold in Heen-yang." Note the character for Heen-yang on the upper left is like the character for Lu Yang (about 464 BC); who motioned with his spear and the sun rose in the west three solar mansions:"
The Chinese Classics. p.148.
"In his 8th year (2162 BC)..In the summer, in the 6th month, it rained gold in the capitol city of Hea."
The Chinese Classics. p. 118.
Earth was salted with meteorite debris that brought metals with it including gold.
All the gold we mine today came from meteorites. Many Chinese men came to British Columbia, Canada, in the 1900's to mine the placer gold in creeks.
"As this meteorite is composed mostly of iron, care must be taken to prevent the piece from rusting."
This piece is 15 mm long, from Argentina, from 4000 to 6000 years ago.
"rained gold" in China in 647 BC and in 1135 BC and in 2162 BC.
Iron meteorites have the greatest consentration of gold.
Here you see the character for Lu Yang, the character for yang is the same - upper left:
Meteor showers were commonly recorded with sun movements. The earth flowing into a reverse orbit against meteors would cause meteor showers visible after sunset instead of typically being mostly visible after midnight.
"In the 10th year of emperor Gui [of Xia] the five planets moved in criss-cross fashion, in the middle of the night stars fell like rain and the earth quaked. The E and Loh became dry."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.241
"Annees aveant JC 687. Enete, a la 4e lune, jour sin mao (23 mars), pendent la nuit, les etoiles fixes ne parurent pas, quoique la nuit fut claire. Au milieu de la nuit, les etoiles tomberent comme une pluie."
"The Year 687 BC (688 BC), in the summer, in the fourth moon, in the day sin mao (day 28 of cycle 60) (23 March according to the Chinese reference book on sexagesimal dates), during the night, the fixed stars did not appear, though the night was clear (cloudless). In the middle of the night stars fell like rain."
"..meteors observes en Chine apres le VIIe siecle" E. Biot:
The new moon, day 28 of cycle 60, March 28, 688 BC:
"In the seventh year, in the summer, in the fourth moon, in the day sin mao (day 28 of cycle 60), during the night, the fixed stars did not appear, though the night was clear (cloudless). In the middle of the night stars fell like rain."
King Ching's first year 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. "his 34th year" is like Jesus beginning his ministry when he began to be about 35 years old.
There are Chinese solar eclipse records on oracle bones - the day is given but not the year: day 53 of cycle 60 = March 4, 1250 BC and day 10 of cycle 60 = May 26, 1217 BC are on the same day of 60 from January 26, 2636 BC, no days missing, and are exactly as we would have predicted them to be back from the present to any time in the past.
However, the year is not given.
The solar eclipse records in the Chinese Classics from day 28 of cycle 60, on September 6, 776 BC, match to the day of 60 and the year of 60.
The solar eclipse records in Egypt from 1417 BC to 1407 BC on match the day and year in the sothis cycle. Thus, the Egyptian solar eclipse records predate Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
"In his, Seaou Sin, first year, which was Keah-woo (31st of cycle 60), when he came to the throne, he dwelt in Yin."
The Chinese Classics, p135.
Not 1286 BC, but 120 years further back = 1406 BC. Thus a sun miracle in 1407 BC may have been an omen for the Chinese to kill their emperor, Pwan-Kang.
The fact the days of 60 have no days missing means God had to have guided the Chinese to record days, partial days and long days. The sun miracles would be sometimes confusing how to count the day.
Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
Earth in a reverse orbit the seasons progress spring, summer, fall, winter the same way as they do now.
Psalm 74:9 "We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long."
The signs must be sun miracles.
Psalm 84:11 "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
Daniel 4:2 "I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
4:3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation."
Daniel 6:27 "He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
Psalm 74:16 "The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter."
The year of Noah's flood, 3307 BC, most likely the sun moved and earth was in a reverse orbit. Thus, the promise in this Genesis 8:22 after Noah's flood was necessary.
With earth in a reverse orbit, and the sun up or down = a shift in orbit not a shift of the earth, the seasons continue just the same as they normally would. The sun may rise in the west and set in the east and the sun may stay in the sky for even nine days = 9 X 12 hours, yet day and night would not cease. Earth continued to rotate, there was still day and night.
Chinese solar eclipse records are usually dependable. Often the day is right but the year is misplaced one year before or one year after.
Oracle bone records give the day of cycle 60, but not the year. Most oracle bones were recorded in the 50 year reign of Wuding, 1393 BC to 1344 BC.
Some oracle bones were made up to emperor Wanting = Wending who reigned from the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC 15 years to 1235 BC. That is from 1393 BC to 1235 BC.
Given King Tut's first year in 1407 BC = the death of his father Akhenaten and Wuding's first year not 1273 BC but 120 years further back in 1393 BC:
Caleb in this 45 years from Moses and the Exodus in 1281 BC = 1235 BC, there may have been a sun miracle the Chinese took to depose emperor Wanting/Wending.
Joshua 14:10 "And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old."
King Tut reigned 9 years from 1407 BC to 1398 BC. Pharaoh Ay reigned 4 years to 1393 BC.
Then Pharaoh Horemheb's first year equal China emperor Wuting's first year 1393 BC.
The last year of Pharaoh Ay should be 1393 BC = the first year of Pharaoh Horemheb and the first year of emperor Wuding.
Ramses II reigned 66 years from 1357 BC to 1291 BC.
Sun miracles 38 years apart, pointing to Jesus' perfect life of 38 years, may have been an omen to change emperors and Pharaohs.
Then Pharaoh Seti I reigned 11 years from 1368 BC to 1357 BC. From 1368 BC to Jesus' sacrifice is 1400 years.
Pharaoh Horemheb may have reigned 23 years from this 1393 BC to Ramses I in 1370 BC.
Merneptah's 10 year reign from 1281 BC back 1291 BC, Ramses II 66 year reign to 1291 BC back to 1357 BC.
Ramses II is recorded to have reigned to his 67th year = 66 years, from 1357 BC to 1291 BC.
Ramses II's 52nd year possibly in 1306 BC; 1307 BC is 1300 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Moses was 80 at the Exodus in 1281 BC = Moses born in 1361 BC when Pharaoh Seti I had all Hebrew boys born to be killed. 4 years later Ramses II became Pharaoh in 1357 BC and most likely the practice ended.
Seti I accession date III Shemu 24 and Ramses II accession date III Shemu 27 = either a complete 11 years or 12 years for the reign of Seti I within these three days.
Ramses II accession date of III Season of the harvest, day 27 - May 31, 1279 BC. Putting dates 76 years further back = May 31, 1355 BC. Rather 76 years further back than 1281 BC = 1357 BC. Ramses II may have reigned from 1357 BC - a 66 year reign - to 1291 BC.
Nevertheless, the date 1279 BC for the death of Seti I lead to the error of 1203 BC for the death of Merneptah = 10 years back to 1213 BC and 66 years of Ramses II back to 1279 BC = mistaken dates = Merneptah died at the Exodus in April of 1281 BC = 76 years back to Ramses II first year in 1357 BC.
Ramses II may have reigned into his 67th year, from 1357 BC to 1291 BC. Then his father Seti I may have reigned 11 years from 1368 BC to 1357 BC. Perhaps there was a sun miracle, an omen, for Seti I to become Pharaoh in 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The assumed dates:
Ramses II accession date of III Shemu 27:
Seti I accession date III Shemu 24:
Ramses II must have reigned 66 years to 1291 BC. The mistake of the death of Merneptah in 1203 BC, rather 1205 BC, his 10 years, Ramses II 66 years is this 1279 BC.
Pharaoh Merneptah died about April 3, 1281 BC. Ten years back to the death of Ramses II, 1291 BC, 66 years back to the death of Seti I in 1357 BC.
The father of Ramses II may have had a reign of 11 years, from 1368 BC to 1357 BC. A sun miracle in 1368 BC may have been an omen to end the reign of his father Ramese I = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
This would mean Ramses II began his reign in 1357 BC.
There were 38 year cycles = Jesus' perfect life of 38 years. Perhaps from 1282 BC to 1244 BC; from 1245 BC to 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 1207 BC was a seven year sabbath year. The 49 year jubile was in 1242 BC and 5 X 7 = 35 years, 1242 BC - 35 = 1207 BC.
Days and years of cycle 60 from January 26, 2636 BC are consistent for all Chinese solar eclipse records. Only a few solar eclipse records in the Chinese Classics are missing the year of cycle 60.
There in the Chinese Classics in the list of solar eclipse records, there are some that were not visible in China. These could be sun miracles instead.
Sometimes the eclipse record is out one year, such as February 16, 505 BC, should be the year 504 BC, February 10 = the third day of the month Adar when the temple was finished. The correct year given in the Chinese Classics was 504 BC.
From January 26, 2636 BC, are 60 day cycles and 60 year cycles. This February 10, 504 BC is the 33d year of cycle 60 = 2636 BC - 32 years = the current year of the solar eclipse that was not a solar eclipse February 10, 504 BC. 504 BC + 32 = 536 BC = the 60 year cycle from 2636 BC. The solar eclipse for February 16, 505 BC would be the 32nd year of cycle 60 and there is no way to make 505 BC the 33d year of cycle 60.
Year 33 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC = 504 BC not 505 BC, the third day of Adar not a new moon, February 10, 504 BC:
To say there are no records of solar eclipses before 1217 BC is wrong. Even the 1217 BC eclipse on day 9 of 60 is just a guess by amateurs.
You will see below eclipse records of June 14, 1414 BC, April 11, 1411 BC, April 1, 1410 BC, January 29, 1407 BC and lunar eclipse December 26, 1409 BC, in Egypt.
There was a solar eclipse October 22, 2137 BC that may not have been recorded.
The next oldest eclipses are:
Ugarit eclipse: "On the day of the new moon, in the month Hiyar, the sun was put to shame, and went down in the daytime, with Mars in attendance,"
The month Hiyaru is in March. Then the possibility this is a sun miracle at the time of the three days of darkness before the Passover, on the new moon, March 15, 1281 BC when Mars is near the sun.
Mistaken eclipse May 3, 1375 BC:
Rather the path of the annular solar eclipse passes through Syria, August 23, 1464 BC:
You can see the solar eclipse path goes through Urgarit Syria where the solar eclipse was recorded along with Mars appearing. Mars was setting at 12 PM and should have been visible at the solar eclipse about 10 AM.
Mars is in Scorpius, and the moon in Castor Pollux 180° away. Perhaps the sun had been moved to the other side of earth for Mars to appear with the moon, also 180° away, in this lunar eclipse.
Or 70 years back from 1375 BC is in March of 1445 BC = sun darkened at Julius Caesar's assassination at the full moon in March 15, 45 BC = a sun miracle in this month of March in 1445 BC. Mars was recorded visible, Mars would be by the sun in March of 1445 BC and may have been visible if the sun moved 360° at the speed of light at noon.
Mars would be on the other side of the sun from the earth. Thus, God could move the sun around the earth without having to move Mars. Mars would appear at noon in the middle of the sky where the sun was.
Amenhotep III reigned 76 years further back than 1391 BC = 1467 BC. He reigned 39 years, probably from 1467 BC to 1428 BC. 1468 BC is 1500 years to Jesus' sacrifice at the age of 38 and a half years old.
This 1375 BC should be 76 years further back in 1451 BC, in the 17th year of Amenhotep III.
Mistaken eclipse June 24, 1312 BC:
Rather September 15, 1382 BC.
You can see the path of the annular solar eclipse passes through Turkey = Anatolia, at noon = early afternoon = when the eclipse was recorded.
The Egyptian chronology must be moved back 76 years. 1464 BC is 89 years earlier than 1375 BC. 1382 BC is 70 years earlier than 1312 BC.
"In his, Chung-K'ang's, first year, which was Ke-ch'ow (26th of cycle 60 = 1951 BC + 180 years = 2131 BC) ..In his fifth year, in the autumn, on the 9th month, on the day kang-seuh (47th of cycle 60), which was the first day of the month, there was an eclipse of the sun, when he ordered the prince of Yin to lead the imperial forces to punish He and Ho..in his 7th year he died."
The Chinese Classics. p. 119.
The solar eclipse record for day 47th of cycle 60 for 2127 BC, or any other date, does not match any solar eclipse, and may be a sun miracle instead.
The solar eclipse on day 9 of cycle 60, October 22, 2137 BC is not on day 47, and is not on year 2127 BC either.
Nevertheless, the solar eclipse October 22, 2137 BC may have been the omen for the Chinese to choose a new emperor, T'ae-k'ang in 2137 BC. 2131 BC is 38 years from Yu's first year in 2169 BC.
The death of Chung-K'ang in his 7th year, in 2124 BC, was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
The last month of Autumn in 2127 BC = 2127 / 128 = 16. The tropical calendar in 2127 BC was 16 days later than today = the Autumn equinox September 22, +16 more days is October 8, 2127 BC. Day 47 of cycle 60 is October 8, 2127 BC = lunar day 7. Jerusalem fell on darkness at noon September 7, 591 BC, day 40 of cycle 60, lunar day 7 of the fifth lunar month.
Ezekiel 45:18 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
45:19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
45:20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house."
The first day and the 7th day of the first month may count from the civil new year in the seventh month in September.
The new moon, December 11, 2128 BC, was the ninth month, day 47 of cycle 60. Only this was not a solar eclipse. Nevertheless, day 47 of cycle 60 was the new moon of the ninth month and likely a sun miracle in 2128 BC. The 49 year jubile was in 2124 BC, 2128 BC would be the third year from 2131 BC. There appear sun miracles in the second year, after the seventh year fallow year from the jubile in 164 BC, in years 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC.
Jeremiah 36:9 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem."
The fifth year of Jehoiakim, from 611 BC, should be 607 BC, 600 years to Jesus' birth.
Jesus' birth Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. The first day of the ninth month would be 8 + 33 days = 41 days = one day before 42 days = 6 X 7; 41 days = a Friday a day before the sabbath. Jesus was presented to the temple 41 days after his birth about the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC + 41 days is the first day of the ninth month, October 23, 7 BC.
The cycle of 60 years in China may be 60 years more recent. The fifth year may count from 2072 BC = 2068 BC. Then this date may be, day 47 of cycle 60, September 28, 2068 BC = the 17th lunar day of the seventh month. Jesus may have been born September 12, 7 BC, the 17th day of the seventh month. 2068 BC is 2100 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Likewise, Friday, November 27, 2068 BC is day 47 of cycle 60 = the 17th day of the ninth month.
Possibly the year was this 2138 BC and not 60 years more recent.
October 5, 2138 BC was the new moon and day 47 of cycle 60. There was no solar eclipse on this date and a sun miracle may have been recorded instead.
Nevertheless, 2127 BC makes the most sense.
Every point on earth should expect a total solar eclipse every 375 years to 460 years. The maximum length is about seven minutes. However, the solar eclipse is a dark circle passing over earth's surface meaning the upper and lower part would have a much shorter total eclipse.
Day 10 of cycle 60 could be the full moon = Passover Friday/Saturday March 19, 1204 BC. There was a lunar eclipse visible from Israel March 19, 1204 BC just as there was a lunar eclipse visible from Israel March 13, 4 BC. Herod died March 31, 4 BC or at the end of the lunar month March 27, 4 BC.
Some suggest Jesus was born in 4 BC just before Herod died and was crucified April 7, 30 AD at the age of thirty-three.
However, all the history of sun miracles point to Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC and his crucifixion April 3, 33 AD. This means Jesus was 35 years old, not 30 years old, = in the thirtieth decade of his life, when he began his ministry. Thus this verse may be interpreted: Jesus began his ministry in his 30th decade = 35, not began to be 30.
Many of the Kings of Israel and Judah are given ages and reigns like this 35 years and 38 years of Jesus' life:
2 Kings 15:13 "Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria."
2 Kings 15:17 "In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria."
2 Kings 25:27 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;"
2 Chronicles 15:19 "And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa."
2 Chronicles 16:1 "In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah."
Nehemiah 5:14 "Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor."
Nehemiah 13:6 "But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:"
Jeremiah 52:31 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison."
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
Here you see the 19 year lunar cycle, 2 X 19 years = 38 years. Thus, the moon cycle date is the same when Jesus was 38 years old as on Jesus' birth:
Even on the same day of the week.
"1. The sun goes in the seven circles of the heavens, and I gave him 182 thrones when he goes on a short day, and 182 thrones when he goes on a long day.
2. And he has two great thrones on which he rests, returning hither and thither above the monthly thrones. From the month Tsivan after seventeen days he descends to the month Thevan, and from the seventeenth day of Thevad he ascends. And so the sun goes through all the courses of the heaven."
Secrets of Enoch, Chapter XLVIII, p.63.
The month Tsivan must be the seventh month in September.
"The sun goes in the seven circles of the heavens" may refer to the seven divisions of day and night, like the 28 divisions in the Dead Sea Scrolls and like the 28 lunar divisions in Yao's zodiac. Sun miracles in 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC may indicate sun miracles as often as every seven years.
164 BC was a 49 year jubile. Then 155 BC 9 years later would be the second year of sowing the land = the first year the ground bare fruit, the grain to ripen after the fallow year. These all in sequence of seven years: 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC.
James 5:7 "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain."
Half of an orbit from the summer solstice or the winter solstice is about 182 days.
The 17th day of the 7th month was a sun miracle, a short day or a long day. And there was a sun miracle 182 days later, or before; = a half orbit where the sun may move to the other side of earth and earth flow out of, or into, a reverse orbit.
182 days back from September 12, 7 BC is Passover, the full moon, March 16, 7 BC. Thus, perhaps sun miracles on the Passover and Jesus' birth. March 16, 7 BC may have been John the Baptist's birth. Nevertheless, the wisemen saw the star in the east at Jesus' birth, probably September 12, 7 BC.
Matthew 2:1 "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him."
Arcturus would pass directly over Jerusalem in March in about 18 BC some 13 years before this 5 BC. The temple was being rebuilt by Herod in 18 BC = 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice. There are many 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. A plumb line used to build the temple could also be used to site Arcturus passing directly overhead in 18 BC.
The wise men may have had several plumb lines as they traveled to Bethlehem from Jerusalem. Thus, spaced 200 feet ahead of eachother, the first one to line up directly above as Arcturus passed overhead would know to stop because they would then be at the house of Joseph and Mary.
Amos 7:7 "Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
7:8 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:"
Zechariah 4:9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."
English Standard Version "when it rose" = The sun moving to the other side of earth on Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC. Then, Arcturus that normally would set just after the sun, would then rise at sunset and be directly above Bethlehem at midnight.
Psalm 148:4 "Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens."
Arcturus passes 2,000 feet south a year. So when the wisemen followed the star, the star would not only pass over Bethlehem, the star would pass directly above the house of Joseph and Mary when Jesus was two years old in September of 5 BC.
Our earliest memories start when we are two and a half years old, even two years old.
Bethlehem is directly a little more than four miles south of Jerusalem, or about five miles walking distance by road south of Jerusalem.
Luke 2:16 "And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger."
According to the Samaritan Pentateuch Moses was born on the seventh month, the seventh day and the seventh hour.
Two years later the wise men came to the house of Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem:
Matthew 2:9 "When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."
At the feast of tabernacles, of booths, the children of Israel were to be outside. They were supposed to look up to the stars. The night Jesus was born they should have seen Arcturus pass directly overhead.
The Hebrew New Testament uses the letter "bet" the word for "from" for in the east. Matthew probably was written in Hebrew first. "bet" often means from in Hebrew. The wise men came "from" the east. So a double meaning for seeing the star "in" the east.
Simply, the sun may have first moved to the other side of earth on Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC. Then the wisemen would see Arcturus above at midnight. If the wisemen were at the same latitude as Bethlehem, they would see Arcturus pass directly overhead at midnight in September.
Arcturus is now at the 19° latitude, 900 miles south of Bethlehem, at the 32° latitude. Arcturus at 37 light years from earth moves quite a bit, 2000 feet a year. Then the wisemen must have come seeking the star of the King of the Jews at the exact time God planned for them for the wisemen to travel four miles south of Jerusalem and arrive at the house of Joseph and Mary and Jesus with Arcturus passing directly overhead.
The wisemen rejoiced to see the star in the east. That is, earth was still in a reverse orbit and the sun was still on the other side of the earth = opposite. Arcturus would normally be right beside the sun in September, Arcturus setting with the sun in the west in September.
Seeing Arcturus rise in the east at sunset would give the wisemen six hours to reach Bethlehem four miles south of Jerusalem = to midnight when Arcturus would pass directly above Bethlehem, as observed with a plumbline, to the house where Joseph and Mary and Jesus were. Jesus would be almost two years old in September of 5 BC.
The wisemen would get to Bethlehem before midnight. Then looking straight up a plumb line walking south, they would get to a point Arcturus was and would pass overhead. And thus being on the one road through Bethlehem, would stop at the house of Joseph and Mary = no need to travel any further.
Luke 19:40 "And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."
The star Arcturus pointed to Jesus. The sun pointed to Jesus.
The 49 year jubile can only match if Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD. And the 50 year jubile can only match if Jesus began his ministry September of 29 AD.
If this solar eclipse record was a type of Jesus' sacrifice and three hours of darkness at noon = the evening sun in China darkened at sunset. Thus, the sun would appear to be eclipsed, but would rather be darkened in a sun miracle.
177 days before would be September 23, 1205 BC, day 13 of cycle 60 = 177 days ahead = day 10 of cycle 60 March 19, 1205 BC. King Wan stated this lunar eclipse on a day 13 instead of a day 15 was an omen for a change in emperor of China. This September 23 was day 15 of the lunar month = time of a lunar eclipse, by coincidence was day 13 of cycle 60. Nevertheless, this day appears it may be a sun miracle rather than a typical lunar eclipse to foretell Jesus' birth.
The first sun miracle of a two or three year reverse orbit be September 23, 1207 BC = the 22nd day of the seventh month is the last great day of the feast of tabernacles. From 1207 BC is 1200 years to 7 BC, to foretell Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
The 17th day of the seventh month Thursday September 19, 1207 BC is day 58 of cycle 60, a few more days to a keatze day Sunday September 21, 1207 BC = Jesus on a Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. The tropical calendar September 19, 1207 BC; 1207 / 128 = 9 days = September 12, 7 BC.
The Gregorian calendar is the tropical calendar. Before Christ, BC, the Julian calendar is used. After 1 AD, Annos Deos, the year of our Lord, the Gregorian calendar is used. The Julian calendar uses a 365.25 year. The Gregorian calendar uses a 365.24 day year. That difference of a .24 day and not a .25 day, makes a big difference over thousands of years.
The Julian calendar works perfectly with the sothis calendars of Armenia and Egypt in years BC Before Christ. The Julian calendar backs up one day ever four years, much like our February 29 ever four years and uses a 365.25 day year. The Egyptians did not have a February 29, yet their fixed calendar tied to July 16 added one day every four years.
The difference in the Gregorian calendar we use now is some years, years divided by four, like the year 2000 AD, do not have a February 29. That way our Gregorian calendar is fixed to make the same dates for the equinoxes and solstices match the seasons no matter how long the calendar goes.
The Chinese had four seasons. Each season began 45 days before the sostice, or the equinox, and lasted 45 more days = four seasons of 90 days = 360 days or a year of 365 days.
This keatze day, day one of cycle 60, should be the last quarter moon, November 20, 1207 BC to be the last day of the month of autumn.
Nevertheless, the record states it was in winter = November to February. The year before:
"In his 21st year, in the spring, in the first month, the princes went to Chow to do homage."
The Chinese Classics. p. 139.
The lunar month moves back 11 days each year. What was spring, on the same date the next year may be winter. January 24, 1207 BC = the 21st year.
March 23, 1207 BC was the full moon and Passover. Two and a half orbits later, September 23, 1205 BC was the full moon also.
March 25, 1207 BC was a keatze day.
March 27, 1206 BC was a new moon. Add a second month of Adar, and March 25, 1206 BC becomes the last month of winter.
September 26, 1208 BC was a full moon and was a keatze day one of cycle 60. Three years almost to the day September 23, 1205 BC was a lunar eclipse in China. The sun may return three years later to the date, from September 26, 1208 BC to September 23, 1205 BC.
The next year 1206 BC, day one of cycle 60, should be the 28 day moon, November 16, 1206 BC. The 22nd year of Te-sin from 1227 BC should be 1206 BC because 1205 BC was his 23rd year the year he captured king Wan at his declaration at the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC. Thus, a new moon and a new day one of cycle 60 in the last month of autumn should be this November 16, 1206 BC.
The next year 1205 BC, day one of cycle 60, should be the two day moon, November 9, 1205 BC. A sun miracle either on the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC day 13 of cycle 60; or a sun miralce on a keatze day on November 16, 1206 BC or November 9, 1205 BC.
Thus, God must move the sun to the other side of earth on Jesus' birth, perhaps September 12, 7 BC, and then move the sun back September 12, 5 BC or at the lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC. Thus, the wise men must have come just before September 12, 5 BC = just before two years since Arcturus appeared directly above at midnight about September 12, 7 BC.
September 12, 5 BC was a keatze day, day one of cycle sixty. Thus if the wisemen were Chinese they would be very aware of the keatze day. Also, the Chinese prophesy, from the time of Huangdi = the sun miracle on day 57 of cycle 60, 20th of cycle 60 from January 26, 2636 BC = October 18, 2607 BC = the birth of Abraham = 2600 years before Jesus' birth on September 12, 7 BC, of a great King born in the Fall on a keatze, day or year.
September 12, 5 BC would be Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh lunar month. September 15 the full moon = lunar day 13, three days back, is lunar day 10, September 12, 5 BC.
The next day, September 16, 5 BC would begin the seven day feast of tabernacles, the 15th Hebrew day of the seventh month.
"Divined on day guiyou [10]: (Charge:) The Sun was eclipsed in the evening: we should report it to [ancestor] Shang Jia."
[Heji, 33695]
Most of the oracle bones were made during the reign of Wuding 1393 BC to his 50th year 1344 BC. His first year was 44th of cycle 60 from 2636 BC = 1393 BC. Thus, this 1369 BC was in Wuding's 24th year. "In his 25th year, (1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice) his son Heaou-e died when he was banished to the wilderness."
Pharaoh Horemheb reigned 25 years from 1393 BC to Ramses I in 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. There may have been a sun miracle in 1368 BC and be the omen to remove Pharaoh Horemheb. Ramses I reigned for two years, from 1370 BC to 1368 BC. Then Pharaoh Seti I reigned 11 years from 1368 BC to 1357 BC. Pharaoh Ramses II reigned 66 years to 1291 BC. Pharaoh Merneptah reigned 10 years to the Exodus and his death at the Reed Sea about April 3, 1281 BC.
"In his, Wuding, 12th year, (from 1393 BC = 1381 BC = 100 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC) he offered sacrifice of thanksgiving to Shang-keah Wei." A sun miracle in 1381 BC may have prompted Wuding to give sacrifice. Ancestor Shang was from this same Shang dynasty.
Wuding reigned till 1344 BC; a sun miracle in 1345 BC may have been the omen for a new emperor. 1345 BC to 1307 BC are 38 years in reverse, such as the 38 years of Jesus' life in reverse from 45 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Ramses II reigned from 1357 BC. His 50th year would be 1307 BC.
Ramesses II's tenth year was 1347 BC. He may not have had to fight in this battle because there may have been the omen of a sun miracle in this 1345 BC = 38 years, Jesus' age was 38 years, to 1307 BC = 1300 years to Jesus' birth.
February 14, 1369 BC was day 10 of cycle 60 and the full moon = what would be the Passover March 30, 1281 BC. Solar eclipse records in the evening are rare. The sun darkened at noon on the Passover, like the sun was darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross, would be setting on China.
Nevertheless, this day/night of darkness may have been the new moon March 15, 1281 BC two weeks before the Exodus out of Egypt.
Possibly February 14, 1281 BC may have been the day that turned to night that lasted three days Exodus 10:21. February 14, 1369 BC may have been the day 10 of cycle 60 that was a solar eclipse in the evening on China = noon and the Passover in Israel; may have been like the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross at noon, April 3, 33 AD.
Again, probably the three days of darkness in Exodus was the new moon March 15, 1281 BC and two weeks later was the Exodus, Friday, March 15, 1281 BC.
1369 BC would be about the fourth year, or first year, of Pharaoh Seti I. Moses brother Aaron was about three years older; Moses born 1361 BC and Aaron about 1364 BC - just after this 1369 BC. Thus Moses was born about 1361 BC, about two years before Pharaoh Seti I died. Then Ramses II may have discontinued the practice of killing the Hebrew male newborns.
According to the Samaritan Penteuch Moses was born in the seventh month on the seventh day. This is like Jesus, born perhaps on the seventh month on the seventeenth day.
Ramses II reigned from 1357 BC, back 11 years, Seti I reigned from 1368 BC, back two years, Ramses I reigned from 1370 BC. If there was a sun miracle in 1369 BC, the sun may move back and the earth must flow out of the reverse orbit one year later, in 1368 BC; 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From 1369 BC 3 X 49 years = 1222 BC = 25 X 50 years to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18 = the fulfillment of the jubile.
Likewise, Joseph in Egypt in 2322 BC, seven years to 2315 BC to begin the seven years of plenty, the second year of famine 2307 BC.
2322 BC = 47 X 50 to Jesus' fulfillment September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
2307 BC is also a seventh year; 2369 BC - 49 - 7 - 7 = 2307 BC the seventh year.
Shun became emperor of China in 2222 BC, year 56 of cycle 60, probably on a sun miracle taken as an omen for a new emperor. 45 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus on Yom Kippur speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4:18 in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. There are also 46 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice from 2222 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
Or Shun becomes emperor 50 years before Yu in 2169 BC = 2219 BC. Yao died at 100 years of reign in 2216 BC. From Yao in 2315 BC 100 years to Shun is 2216 BC = a keatze, year one of cycle sixty, from 2636 BC.
Likewise Yu succeeded Shun in 2169 BC, year 49 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC. 2169 BC is 2200 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Jesus' birth in 7 BC was year 49 of cycle 60.
"In his (King Te-sin) 5th year...there was a shower of earth in Poh." "In his 6th year, the cheif of the west (king Wan) offered sacrifice for the first time to his ancestors at Peih." (A peih is a jade disk with a hole = the symbol of the sun. The emperor dropped a peih in the river when there was a sun miracle).
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.139
Joshua 9:10 "And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth."
Likewise, at Peih = a sun miracle, at Ashtaroth may have to do with Arcturus = the handle of the Big Dipper revolving in reverse through the year while earth was in a reverse orbit.
There may have been a long day when Moses conquered the Amorites; possibly February 5, 1242 BC or August 10, 1242 BC.
The 40th year, 11th month, the 1st day, Tuesday November 28, 1242 BC. The battle may have been before that, perhaps August 10, 1242 BC.
Deuteronomy 1:3 "And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
1:4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:"
Te-sin reigned from 1226 BC, his 5th year was 1222 BC. "a shower of earth" is a meteor shower such as when God moved the sun to the other side of earth and earth in this reverse orbit hit head on the asteroids that normally travelled with the earth.
Meteors are mostly observed after midnight = the side of earth facing forwards. But in a reverse orbit meteors would appear after sunset = the side of earth facing forwards = more likely people were up to observe them.
Earth in the reverse orbit is going against the grain, against the grains of asteroids. The cross of Jesus teaches us to go against the grain of nature.
The sacrifice of king Wan the next year would be in recognition of this sun miracle. This king Wan made note of all the omens of sun miracles and eclipses as a sign for a new dynasty at the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC whereupon he was imprisoned.
Josephus wrote that Joshua died in the 25th year of the conquest. And that he spoke to the people in Joshua 24 in the 20th year from the conquest of 1241 BC. From 1241 BC the 20th year is this same 1222 BC. Another reason there may have been a sun miracle that year.
This solar eclipse record in Egypt is true: The new moon for II Aket 1 is September 7, 1365 BC. As are five more eclipse records from the same period in Egypt:
Total solar eclipse June 14, 1414 BC.
Annular eclipse April 11, 1411 BC.
Solar eclipse April 1, 1410 BC.
Lunar eclipse December 26, 1409 BC.
Total solar eclipse January 29, 1407 BC.
Thus, all dates work going back before Joshua's long day, both backwards and forwards.
The main part is Joshua's long day is hidden. The sun was moved to the other side of earth, and earth's orbit sped up 48 hours so there were the same 365 days a year because orbit was against rotation. These are real events, but hidden.
The sun should return 365 days, exactly one year, later. Yao recorded the reverse zodiac in his first year was 366 days, be from April 1, 2315 BC to April 2, 2314 BC.
If only one year of reverse orbit, this would make king Wan's dream Monday at sunset in China, February 17, 1240 BC = 366 days from Saturday February 17, 1241 BC the same day of the year because of leap year February 29, 1241 BC = 366 days to February 17, 1240 BC.
Nevertheless, from February 4, 1241 BC, and from February 4, 1240 BC are 366 days to king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Again, if only one year of reverse orbit, means the sun returned one year later, 365 days, after Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC = Sunday, February 16, 1240 BC.
However, the sixth day of the moon, and the sixth day of the lunar zodiac in Scorpius, would match king Wan's dream February 5, 1241 BC much better.
The sun must have been in Virgo that February 5, 1239 BC, and the moon six lunar mansions away in Scorpius. The first lunar mansion in the 28 lunar mansion chart starts at Corvus/Virgo. Thus, the six day moon was six days old and in the sixth day of the lunar zodiac. Even, Friday, February 6, 1239 BC was on day six of the seven day week and certainly on day six of the 29 days of the lunar month, or six of this 28 day lunar zodiac = even counting days in the lunar zodiac and days of the lunar month = both.
Here you see the first sign in red = 180° from the blue sign. Thus, you can count six signs from the red to king Wan's dream on the sixth day moon. The Chinese count from the exact new moon when the moon passes by the sun. From February 1, 1239 BC are six days to February 5, 1239 BC. The battle of Deborah in Judges 4 and 5 should be February 1240 BC six months after Joshua's long day, most likely February 5, 1240 BC. King Wan's dream may be one year later. From the new moon February 1, 1239 BC to February 5, 1239 BC is the six day moon = king Wan's dream.
From the first sign Jue in a red circle is in Leo/Virgo is 180° to the fourteenth sign Dongbi in a blue circle is in Taurus/Pegasus. Thus the sun move 180° from Virgo to Taurus. Thus six signs = the sixth day moon of king Wan's dream, from Jue in Virgo is Wei of Scorpius.
Here you see the zodiac progress in the normal direction:
Here you see the zodiac progress in reverse:
Here counting from the first sign to the sixth sign in Scorpius. Thus, the moon and Saturn appeared together in the sixth sign in Scorpius, the six day moon, of king Wan's dream. Thus, the six day moon may mean the sixth lunar mansion and also the sixth lunar day. Also, the first lunar mansion in Virgo = where the sun was before the sun moved back. Then also, when the sun moved 180° back from Virgo it would be in the 14th lunar mansion = dongbi - Pegasus - Pisces.
Here you can see the size of each of the 28 divisions is very uneven.
Historical Supernovae and their Remnants, p.18.
Here you see the 28 lunar mansion zodiac again:
At my first attempt to uncover Joshua's long day, at a presentation at the Penticton astronomy club, October 13, 2005, Joshua's Long Day presented to Okanagan Astronomy Society (now part of ocrasc.ca) on October 13, 2005. I started with a sun miracle in February and 186 days later, half an orbit later, the sun move back in August, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun on Joshua's long day. The thought was a 12 hour long day in February and a 12 hour long Joshua's long day in August = 24 hours.
Soon after this I discovered there were 186.5 days from the spring equinox to the fall equinox, and 179 days from the fall equinox to the spring equinox. Thus, this 187 days of 365 days meant 24 hours and 30 minutes. A half orbit means 24 hours and 30 minutes of sped up orbit, not just 24 hours.
In this presentation I assumed 12 hours long day in February for king Wan and 12 hours long day in August for Joshua's long day. Because the sun moved 180° each time = 12 hours each time X 2 = 24 hours.
It was not to be so simple. Earth's elliptical orbit would not let it be so simple.
The sun must move back at the half orbit point = 186.5 days is a half orbit. One and a half more days is 188 days; from February 4, 1241 BC to August 24, 1241 BC. In 186.5 days/ 365.24 days; multiplied by 48 hours, there are 24 hours and 30 minutes. From February 4, 1241 BC to August 10, 1241 BC is 188 days / 365.24 days; multiplied by 48 hours, there are 24 hours and 40 minutes. However, this longer first half orbit is the slower, so the sped up time of the more than 40 minutes is the fall/winter half orbit.
So the sped up time from the crossing of the river Jordan to Joshua's long day, is the slower half = 23 hours and 20 minutes sped up time. The next half reverse orbit sped up time from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC to February 4, 1240 BC is 24 hours and 40 minutes = 48 hours in total sped up time.
The sun revolving around the earth to stand still in the sky with earth's rotation would be 24 hours. Thus, there are 40 minutes missing.
Because rotation was against orbit in the reverse orbit, earth must be sped up around the sun about 24 hours in that half orbit. However, that half orbit is longer than half the year. Thus, earth must be sped up 24 hours and 40 minutes over 188 days, and not just 24 hours.
This 40 minutes may be multiplied many times, every time, every year, God moved the sun. One becomes very aware very soon that there was not one but many sun miracles and many reverse orbits. Thus, the missing 40 minutes had to be found.
Thus, there would be 24 hours of the sun standing still at noon, of long days, in total. This left 40 minutes.
At that point in my presentation at Penticton I was at the same place as these NASA scientists. 40 minutes had to be found.
Some time after this I discovered the whole year of 48 hours sped up time.
That is, at earth's present speed there would be 367 days a year in a reverse orbit, not the 365 days a year we have now. Earth has to be sped up 48 hours a reverse orbit for there to be 365 days a year.
Then also, there would be 23 hours 20 minutes plus 24 hours 40 minutes = 48 hours. And no net missing time, of even a minute.
"40 minutes had to be found because you are still in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits.." - This reference to 40 minutes in orbit is key to identifying the above model with the missing day story. Thus, the Missing Day Story, though adapted to Totten's work, rings true. Totten's book on Joshua's long day was reprinted in December of 1968. The forty missing minutes is there.
But there is no mention of the forty minutes being multiplied many times over in orbits. Harold Hill may have heard of NASA discovering the missing 24 hours, and a missing 40 minutes, like I have done and not understanding it, he used Totten's book instead.
"They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now." - When the sun moved to the other side of the earth, the planets must move 180° also. They must revolve around the sun so to appear in the same position at the same time of night as they normally would have in their seasons.
Then half a reverse orbit later the sun may move back 180° and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. The planets would move exactly 180° from where they were appearing in their seasons to appear in their normal position when the sun moved 180° back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. This exact mechanics could also tell the space scientists to look at the half orbit point and discover they were missing 24 hours in earth's sped up orbit at that point.
Only there would be some 40 minutes left over in missing time that had to be countered by a second half reverse orbit beginning right after the first half reverse orbit ended. After the sun and planets moved back exactly 180° one year later there would be no net missing time at all.
From the Chinese reckoning the day began at sunset. Thus, king Wan's dream, Thursday, February 5, 1239 BC, may be counted the sixth day of the seven day week, February 6, 1239 BC as well as the six day moon.
From the Babylonian reckoning the day began at sunset, like wise in Israel. From the Egyptian reckoning the day began at sun rise.
The major battle was Joshua's long day, probably on the Sabbath, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Hebrews 4:8 "For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his."
God's day of rest in Genesis was on the seventh day. Thus, if Joshua did not give Israel rest, the battles of conquest should have occurred on Saturday, the day of rest. The battle of Jericho on Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC and Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
In the Dead Sea Scroll, 4QJosha: Joshua 8:30 - 35 appears right after Israel crossed the river Jordan, before Joshua 5:1.
Joshua 8:30 "Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,"
Joshua 8:34 "And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law."
Deuteronomy 31:10 "And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
The last day of the feast of tabernacles would be Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. If there was a sun miracle when the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan, February 5, 1241 BC - half an orbit later is the great day of the feast of tabernacles, day 21 of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC. Joshua would read the law in Deuteronomy from the 15th day, the first day of the feast of tabernacles, Saturday, August 3, 1241 BC.
"every seven years" = Joshua speaking in Joshua 24 in the 21st year according to Josephus. 1221 BC = even 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Joshua may have died that 1221 BC, if on the 26th day of Nissan, this would be Friday, April 8, 1221 BC = April 1 in the Gregorian calendar today, or about the time of Jesus' sacrifice, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The first year of emperor Te-sin of China was not in 1221 BC but in 1227 BC, because he imprisoned king Wan in his 23rd year in the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC.
"In his fifth year there was a shower of earth in Poh..In his sixth year, the cheif of the west offered sacrifice for the first time to his ancestors in Peih."
The Chinese Classics.p.138.
Te-sin from 1227 BC his sixth year = 1222 BC = the twentieth year, from 1241 BC, of Joshua's conquest when Joshua spoke in Joshua 24 according to Josephus. The Peih was a jade disc that the Chinese dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle. Also, the shower of earh from a meteor shower in earth's reverse orbit that year.
In Te-sin's 23d year he imprisoned king Wan, 1205 BC. There was a five planet conjunction in fang in 1195 BC = 46 years from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
The land of Israel had rest for forty years from 1241 BC. 1198 BC may also have been when the ark was taken and the High Priest Eli died after forty years. Josephus wrote there were 25 years of Joshua from the conquest of Palestine in 1241 BC, and a further 18 years to Samuel = 1198 BC - perhaps when the high priest Eli died and Samuel began his service to become high priest.
From Te-sin's 33d year = 1194 BC king Wan had the appointment of Heaven for nine years, that may also equal a sun miracle when Ruth returned to Bethlehem after the same ten years, ten years of famine in Israel from 1198 BC to about 1189 BC.
In Te-sin's 48th year = 1179 BC an E-goat appeared, an amazing wonder!
7 year cycles: Joshua's long day 1241 BC, just after the 49 year jubile in 1242 BC. 40 years later, 1200 BC, 7 years to the 49 year jubile in 1193 BC, 7 years to 1186 BC = the death of king Wan, 7 years to 1179 BC = the qilin seen in China.
King Wan had the bright appointment of Heaven 9 years from 1195 BC to 1186 BC.
1 Samuel 4:18 "And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
1 Samuel 7:2 "And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD."
The ark was taken 40 years after Joshua's long day, 1241 BC - 40 = 1200 BC = Eli at 98 years. 20 years later is this 1179 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle when the ark of the covenant was returned.
1 Samuel 7:8 "And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
7:9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel."
"the Lord thundered" may be a sun miracle, the thunder bird = the phoenix = the qilin = the kelin.
King Ching's first year was in spring in 1168 BC. In King Ching's 18th year, 1150 BC, phoenixes appeared.
"Long ago, when King Ch'eng (King Ching) of Chou (1067 BC-1031 BC) (corrected by 100 years; 1168 BC- 1133 BC) was first enthroned, he was still in swaddling clothes."
The Grand Scribes records, Volume VII. p.363.
"In his 7th year, from 1168 BC, the duke of Chow restored the government to the King. In the spring, in the 2nd month, the king went to Fung. In the 3d month, duke K'ang of Shaou went to Loh, to measure the ground for the city. On the day Keah-tsze, 1st of cycle 60, the duke Wan of Chow made an anouncement to the numerous officers in Ching-chow, and theron they walled the eastern capital. The king then went to it, and the princes came to do him homage."
The Chinese Classics, the Annals of the Bamboo Books. p.146.
Keah-tsze day 1 of cycle 60 was March 24, 1161 BC, the full moon and Passover in Israel. Perhaps there was a sun miracle at the Passover.
Ezra 7:1 "Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,"
Nehemiah 8:2 "And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month."
Nehemiah 12:26 "These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe."
Ezra and Nehemiah must have lived in the reign of Artaxerxes, from 458 BC, at the same time.
This altar may have been built on Yom Kippur, the 10th day of the 7th month. Then Joshua's long day may have been the 21 day of the seventh month. The feast of tabernacles went from the 15th day of the seventh month to the 21 day of the seventh month. Joshua's long day be on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, August 10, 1241 BC.
Thus, the nationhood of Israel in the beginning of their civil calendar in the seventh month.
Then Joshua's long day be either the last quarter moon, the 21st day, of the seventh month = three weeks later, three weeks after the first day, Rosh Hashanah on July 20, 1241 BC, of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC.
Or Joshua's long day be the first quarter moon of the eighth month August 24, 1241 BC, five weeks after Rosh Hashanah.
Most likely there were sun miracles from the crossing of the Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC and Joshua's long day half an orbit later, the 21st day of the seventh month, Saturday, August 10. 1241 BC, the battle of Merom, February 5, 1240 BC and one more year later the sun returned on king Wan's dream, the six day moon, the sixth day of the week, February 5, 1239 BC.
The Chinese counted the day from sunset, like the Hebrews, and from the moment the moon passed by the sun, not the first visibility of the moon. Thus, the moon passed the sun at noon, February 1, 1239 BC in China. The day in China, like in Israel, begins at sunset, at evening. Then on February 5, 1239 BC would begin the six day moon in China = king Wan's dream.
The Hebrews counted the beginning of the lunar month from the first visibility of the moon one or two days later = after the Chinese new moon.
The sun half an orbit before August 10, 1241 BC, in the reverse orbit, was in Virgo and the six day moon between Libra and Scorpius in Fang as was recorded in king Wan's dream = both the sixth day of the 28 day lunar zodiac and the sixth day of the first lunar month of spring, and beginning Friday at sunset = also, the sixth day of the Hebrew week.
Simply, the sun was in Virgo, and earth still in the reverse orbit, just before king Wan's dream, and the sun moved 180° with earth's rotation to Pisces, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
King Wan's dream most likely was February 5, 1239 BC, even the six day moon.
1 Kings 6:37 "In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
1 Kings 8:1 "Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
8:2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month."
1 Kings 8:65 "And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days."
This seventh month should be Jesus' birthday. This eleventh year from Solomon's first year in 1044 BC = the seventh year of building from 1041 BC = 1033 BC.
Back 37 years from 1033 BC is 1070 BC. Jesus lived 38 years. From 1068 BC to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD is 1100 years.
Back 38 years from 1033 BC is 1071 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry about September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD. From 1033 BC 13 years till Solomon finished his house is 1021 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
"The Seder Olam shows Solomon's Temple stood for exactly 403 years."
From 1034 BC to 591 BC is 443 years, forty years left out.
Thus, Solomon's temple was finished in the eighth month of 1034 BC.
Joshua's long day was probably the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC, and the southern conquest of Palestine that followed.
Joshua's continued campaign to the south from Gibeon continued from the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC, into the eighth month. The temple was seven years in building from Solomon's fourth year in 1041 BC = 240th year from the Exodus in 1281 BC.
Solomon's first year be in 1045 BC = the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice. The 50th jubile would begin that 1041 BC from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC. Thus, the first year of Solomon be 1044 BC, just after the 49 year jubile 1045 BC from 1241 BC.
Thus, from the finish of the temple in the seventh year, that is seven and half years, Solomon's 11th year, 1034 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC = 1026 years. From Jacob and his family sojourning in Egypt, from the full moon, Sunday, April 3, 2307 BC to the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = the same 1026 years. And the same full moon April 3, 2307 BC as Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The full moon Sunday, April 3, 2307 is like the full moon when Jesus went to the cross, Friday, April 3, 33 AD and Jesus rose from the dead Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
The selfsame day could also be the day of the week, that is Friday. the Sojourn into Egypt Friday, April 1, 2307 BC to the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Back from Egyptian Sothis new year, July 16, from new years in year 430 from 2737 BC. 2307 BC is 430 / 4 = 107 days is March 31 = both Friday, April 1, 2307 BC and Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Exodus 12:41 "And 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."
The Babylonian number base was 60. So to write 240 years would look like 4 X 60, like our 4 X 100 years. So, when the Bible was recorded after the captivity the 240 years may have been misprinted 400 years.
Then in the Septuagint 40 less years appear than 480 years = 440 years; = probably 240 years that became 440 years; should be 240 years. After the Hebrew version, that is more recent than the Greek Septuagint, was changed 40 more years to 480 years. From the Exodus in 1281 BC to Solomon's fourth year 1041 BC are 240 years.
Likewise Adam in year 700 in the Septuagint, Genesis 5:4, 4668 BC = 1362 years to Noah's flood, Ancient Book of the Jubilees, page 30; = the 27 jubiles and five weeks, fifth day (27 X 49) + 35 + 5 = 1362 years + 3307 BC = 4670 BC; in the book of jubilees, to Noah's flood in year 600 = 3307 BC.
Thus, from the first tabernacle after the Exodus out of Egypt to the building of the temple are 240 years.
From this eleventh year = 1033 BC in the eighth month, to Jesus' birth 7 BC in the seventh month, are 1026 years. From the Sojourn of Jacob in year 430 Egyptian Sothis, 2307 BC to the Exodus at the end of the Egyptian Sothis cycle, 1281 BC, are also 1026 years.
Thus, was the ark of the covenant moved into the Temple in the seventh month, about the day of Atonement when the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies where the ark was, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
The ark of the covenant was last seen at the destruction of Jerusalem, on the seventh day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC.
"The signs of the second Jubilee are 17 signs..the signs of the third Jubilee are 16 signs"
4QRule of the Community. Col.V
Thus 3 X 16 + 3 X 17 + 3 X 16 + 3 X 17 + 3 X 17 + 3 X 16 + 3 X 17 + 2 = 350 years.
Genesis 9:28 "And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years."
Or 20 years they wandered from this 591 BC to 571 BC, then 350 years in jubile to 221 BC, then 250 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
The end of the warring states period in China was in 221 BC.
There are 350 years from 322 BC to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 to fulfill the 50 year Jubilee. Alexander the Great died not in 323 BC, but in 312 BC = the omen of the sun miracle in China = the shadow from the sundial lengthened by 10 cubits and rose one cubit.
"The solar eclipse, Year 2 of (king) Philip, (month VI). The 28th, around 3 deg before sunset, solar eclipse...It set eclipsed."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation. F. Richard Stephenson. p.79
Here you see the correct date for the solar eclipse, also for before sunset. Philip III reigned not from 323 BC, his 2nd year not 322 BC. But his 2nd year and this solar eclipse 12 years more recent, in August 15, 310 BC. The first month in February of 310 BC = the 6th month August 15, 310 BC. 12 years more recent than 322 BC.
"In his 3rd year, Hang Ming lead a force against Sean-k'ew. The king of Ts'in came, and had an interview with our king at the pass of P'oo-fan. In the 4th month, the king of Yueh sent Kung-sze Yu to present 300 boats, 5,000,000 arrows, with rhinoceros horns, and elephants teeth. In the fifth month, Chang E died. In his 4th year, Teih Chang attacked Wei. Wei defeated Han Keu, the general of Chaou."
This 3rd or 4th year would be the year of this solar eclipse August 15, 310 BC visible in China. This fourth or fifth month may be this August. The solar eclipse may have been taken as an omen to the king to act.
Here you see the same month VI counting from the first month March/April, 12 years more recent than 322 BC. Alexander the Great died not in 323 BC but 12 years more recent in 312 BC. Thus, Philip's first year not 323 BC but 311 BC, his 2nd year 310 BC, = the 49 year jubile, and his second year and this solar eclipse August 15, 310 BC.
The solar eclipse was total, thus the statement the sun set.
Or God moved the sun around the earth at the speed of light, and the sun greatly dimmed set while traveling at the speed of light.
"Until the late fourth century BC, years were counted from the accession of each ruler, but from 311 BC, the start of the reign of Seleucus I a continuous system of numbering was adopted."
"The precise date of the Seleucid era adopted in Babylon was 1 Nisannu (i.e. April 3) in 311 BC."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, F Richard Stephenson. p.115.
Either this is the correct date, and the year of the sun miracle of the shadow of the sun suddenly lengthening ten cubits in China, or this is 11 years more recent.
Wednesday, April 3, 311 BC was the first visibility of the new moon. Tuesday, April 2, 300 BC was the first visibility of the moon. Thus, this date chronology 11 years more recent works perfectly.
Here you can see the two records are almost identicle = the April 2, 300 BC = the chronology must be moved forward 11 years = the precise date of the Seleucid era:
Note: April 3, 311 BC and April 4, 310 BC. April 3, 311 BC is the first day of the month Nissan, and Friday, April 4, 310 BC is the full moon and Passover:
Here you see the correct date 11 years more recent April 2, 300 BC:
The new moon, Wednesday, April 3, 311 BC = tghe new moon, Wednesday, April 3, 300 BC.
The sun miracle in 312 BC when the shadow of the sun was lengthened ten cubits = the sun on the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit, and on the anniversary of the event the sun may move back in this 310 BC.
This 11 years, is very like the solar eclipse in Philip III 2nd year, 12 years, more recent August 15, 310 BC.
Alexander the Great may have died on the new moon, Saturday, June 9, 312 BC:
This solar eclipse was not in 323 BC, but 11 years more recent on this lunar day 28 = the new moon, the VI month may be a sun miracle June 9, 312 BC.
Only Alexander the Great died the first year of Philip. So, this solar eclipse in Philip's second year should be in 311 BC or 310 BC.
The eclipse record was for the VI month = August. 12 years more recent than 322 BC = August 15, 310 BC.
Alexander the Great must have died in 312 BC on the sun miracle in China, where the shadow from the gnomon lengthened more than ten cubits and rose one cubit.
Thus, Alexander the Great died not on the new moon, Sunday, June 10, 323 BC, but on the new moon, Saturday, June 9, 312 BC. Thus, the cuniform record would appear identical for 312 BC, even the day of the week, Saturday or Sunday would be the same date.
"In his (King Yin's) second year, 312 BC, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit. Wei made Chang E its prime minister...In his 3d year,..in the 5th month, Chang E died...In the 6th year, there were great rains and violent winds. The waters of the Ho overflowed Swan-tsaou. Shoo-chang of Ts'oo came with a force to have a meeting with us, and encamped at Seang-k'ew. In his 7th year (307 BC), Teih Chang came to the rescue of Ch'ing, and encamped at Nan-keuh."
The Chineses Classics. p.176.
"Note: We have had the account of a similar phenomenon before, tho' (the characters for lengthened) here occasions difficulty."
That is, the sudden movement of the sun to lengthen the shadow is difficult to explain.
You can see the goat character beneath "one cubit" inside the name Chang E. The words "Wei made Chang E its prime minister."
Chang E was the princess that ascended to the far side of the moon when the sun stood still for nine days when Yao was made emperor in the spring of 2315 BC.
The E goat:
Some sun dials in China are very large. Some are several feet tall and some twenty feet long. Other sun dials in China are some thirty feet tall = the shadow lengthened by 100 cubits. See Science and Civilization in China, Astronomy, page 301.
The Chinese Classics, The Bamboo Books. p.175.
You can see the same characters below. The six cubits may mean the shadow lengthened six cubits and rose one inch, like above.
"He had a dragon contenance, a large mouth, and a black body, six cubits, one inch long."
The Chinese Classics, Shun. p.114.
This description is of Shun who took over from Yao.
"In his 70th year, in the spring, in the 1st month, he caused the chief of the four mountains to convey to Shun of Yu his charge to succeed to the throne."
The Chinese Classics, p.113.
Shun appears in Yao's 70th year from spring of 2245 BC = what would become the Passover = the 38 years of Jesus' life backwards to 2207 BC. Shun ruled for 50 years from 2219 BC to 2169 BC. This depiction may be of his shadow = "the black body" or a shadow from a sun dial = a sudden movement of the sun, such as was described in in the Chinese Classics in 362 BC and 311 BC on 49 year jubiles.
A sudden movement of the sun east is in 2 Kings 20:8.
2 Kings 20:8 "And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
20:9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?"
Ten degrees is like this ten cubits = ten steps = ten degrees,H4609 = ten hours.
H4609 מַעֲלָה ma‛ălâh mah-al-aw' Feminine of H4608; elevation, that is, the act (literally a journey to a higher place, figuratively a thought arising), or (concretely) the condition (literally a step or grade mark, figuratively a superiority of station); specifically a climactic progression (in certain Psalms): - things that come up, (high) degree, deal, go up, stair, step, story. Total KJV occurrences: 46
Here you see 2 Kings 20 in the Masoretic text:
Here you see 2 Kings 20 in the Leningrad Codex. You will notice the Hebrew letters both in the Aleppo Codex and the Leningrad Codex compared to the Hebrew Masoretic text. The third day shelosh in the third line:
Line by line comparison:
Here you can see the Hebrew interlinear 2 Kings 20:
The Leningrad Codex "letter-text is not perfect, however, and contradicts its own masoretic apparatus in hundreds of places."
Line by line the third day in the Aleppo Codex:
Here you see 2 Kings 20 in the Aleppo Codex. The third day shelosh in the eighth line:
The word for returned = H7725 שׁוּב shûb shoob
There is the letter "bet" after "return" H7725 in the Leningrad Codex. Then "it shall return ten steps" reads "it shall return from ten steps." = like the Dead Sea Scrolls of Isaiah 38:8 "degrees from degrees." 2 Kings 20:9 - There is no letter "bet" in the modern Hebrew Bible. The verse in 2 Kings 20:9: "or it shall return ten steps" should be "it shall return from ten steps"
"by the steps" "on the steps" = should be "from" the steps.
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leningrad Codex, Volume 6, 2 Kings. p.316.
Jeremiah 8:4 "Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?"
Thus the connection to the shadow of the sun returning.
Isaiah 38:8 "Behold,H2009 I will bring againH7725 (H853) the shadowH6738 of the degrees,H4609 whichH834 is gone downH3381 in the sunH8121 dialH4609 of Ahaz,H271 tenH6235 degreesH4609 backward.H322 So the sunH8121 returnedH7725 tenH6235 degrees,H4609 by whichH834 degreesH4609 it was gone down.H3381"
Thus, the same thing for King Yin as for Hezekiah, either the shadow was lengthened by ten cubits, or the shadow retreated ten cubits.
A sun miracle in 360 BC and 312 BC (311 BC) are in 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. The sun miracle for Hezekiah the third day from Friday, on Sunday March 31, 703 BC, Hezekiah healed on the Sunday like the resurrection Sunday, is also on a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD. Likewise for Hezekiah the sun's shadow retreated or lengthened 10 cubits.
Moving the sun to the other side of earth means moving the sun up or down simply because earth's axis is tilted 23°. Either move the sun 180° and then up or down to keep earth in the same season or move the sun to the path of the ecliptic = the zodiac. Either way the sun should appear to rise or fall. Nevertheless, the sun would appear at the same height as it did some hours before keeping earth in the same season.
There was a total solar eclipse in Sicily recorded in 310 BC August 15, the eclipse of Agathocles, that probably is right, and the stars came out.
"Agathocles, however, escaped under the darkness of the night, and made the African coast after a six-day's voyage. On the next morning after he left Syracuse we are told, both by Diodorus, Siculus and Justin, that an eclipse of the sun over shadowed them in such a way that the stars appeared as if it had been night"
Possibly this sudden darkness may have been from this sun miracle recorded in China about the same year. There should be a set of three sun miracles that year of 312 BC. Any one of those may have made the sun dark.
The total solar eclipse would make it so dark the stars came out for a few minutes. But moving the sun near the speed of light would make the stars come out, not for a minute or for the maximum totality of seven minutes, but for almost one hour.
Nevertheless, this total solar eclipse = the stars appeared, you can see passes directly over Sicily:
This is the account of the similar phenomenon of the shadow of the sundial being suddenly lengthened in 312 BC = we have seen this before, 360 BC, a 49 year jubile to 311 BC:
King Heen's first year, 50th of cycle 60, in 367 BC = 400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In his (King Heen) 5th year (362 BC), it rained peih stones in Ch'ing. Some ground there suddenly became longer by 100 cubits and more, and higher by a cubit and a half."
The Chinese Classics. p.171.
'Some ground suddenly became longer than 100 cubits and higher by a cubit and a half" means God must have moved the sun at about 90% of the speed of light = suddenly, so that the shadow of the sundial lengthened 100 cubits, very like when God moved the sun 10 steps backwards in the sun dial of Ahaz for Hezekiah.
The character for "rained" is on the top left.
360 BC was a 49 year jubile. 311 BC was a 49 year jubile.
A sun miracle in 361 BC and the sun move back one year later in 360 BC. A sun miracle in 312 BC and the sun move back on 311 BC.
Thus, perhaps a similar sun miracle 49 years before 312 BC. Peih stones were a disc of jade that was dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle.
318 BC would be Alexander the Great's first year of six. Alexander the great ruled from 318 BC to 312 BC. From 318 BC + 32 = 350 years, 7 X 50 years, to Jesus' sacrifice. From 311 BC + 32(33 AD) = 343 years = 7 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In his (King Shin-Tsing) 1st year, which was sin-chow (38th of cycle 60 = 319 BC)"
The Chinese Classics. p.175.
There may have been a sun miracle that year in 319 BC the Chinese took for an omen for a new emperor. The same sun miracle may mark the beginning of the reign of Alexander the Great.
Here are 49 year jubile dates that match sun miracles and events: Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD, 17 BC, 66 BC, 115 BC, 164 BC, 311 BC, 458 BC, 507 BC, 556 BC, 605 BC, 654 BC, 703 BC, 752 BC, 801 BC, 850 BC, 899 BC, 948 BC, 997 BC, 1046 BC, 1095 BC, 1193 BC, 1242 BC, 1732 BC, 2368 BC, 2467 BC.
"In his 18th year, (from 965 BC = 948 BC) in the spring, in the 1st month, he dwelt in the palace of Che, where the princes came and did homage"
The Chinese Classics, p. 151.
Thus, a 49 year jubile at the time of the Passover, the first month, are even 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice at the Passover.
2 Chronicles 8:1 "And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,"
Thus, at the end of twenty years counting from Solomon's fourth year would be 1021 BC. The fifty year jubile from 1241 BC to 22 BC to 29 AD when Jesus began his ministry.
2 Chronicles 8:16 "Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected."
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
This seventh year from 1041 BC would be 1034 BC. From 1034 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC is 1027 years. 21 X 49 = 1029 years. From the Sojourn into Egypt in 2307 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC is the same 1026 years. From Noah's flood in 3307 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC is 2026 years.
1 Kings 7:1 "But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."
11 years + 13 years = 24 years. From 1045 BC - 24 years = 1021 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
This 20th year from 1041 BC = 1021 BC = 1000 years to 21 BC which began the last 50 year jubile which Jesus fulfilled when he read Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18 Friday September 9, 29 AD or Saturday October 7, 29 AD.
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
Herod began to rebuild the temple in 18 BC. Thus, 46 years later is the spring of 30 AD. Three years later was Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD , 46 + 3 = 49 = the 49 year jubile from the beginning of time, from Adam in 4672 BC in the year of the world, Annos Mundi, 700 from 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
This 5400 BC was the time early farmers migrated into Europe from this same area of Turkey and Armenia.
The city of Eridu in southern Iraq was founded in 5400 BC.
The Çatalhöyük people in Turkey settled in 7500 BC.
Likewise, according to Josephus, Joshua spoke in Joshua 24 in the 20th year of conquest in 1221 BC.
Genesis 14:5 "And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,"
Genesis 14:14 "And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
14:15 "And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all."
Abraham entered Canaan in his 75th year from 2607 BC = 2532 BC; 14 years to this 49 year jubile in 2516 BC = this battle and the coming of Melchizedek.
The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice was on the full moon, Saturday, April 4, 2516 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"for the final days concerns the captives whose teachers have been hidden and kept secret from the inheritance of Melchizedek, for they are the inheritance who will make them return. And liberty shall be proclaimed to them to free them from the debt of all their iniquities. And this will happen in the first week of the jubilee that occurs after the nine jubilees. And the Day of Atonement is the end of the tenth jubilee, in which Atonement shall be made for all the sons of light, and for the men of the lot of Melchizedek.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls. 11QMelch.
This 14th year may have counted just before Abraham came to the Promised Land. Then Abraham should be about 87 years old, 12 years + 75 years old, 2520 BC. Then in 50 year jubiles to Jesus fulfillment, the release from captivity, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD. Or 2516 BC and 52 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
This battle of Abraham is like the battle of Gideon. Both battles were fought at night, both battles were fought by about 300 men, and in both battles they were divided against the enemy. There may have been a sun miracle also. Both battles may have been fought on the 49 year jubile, 2516 BC and 1241 BC.
Ten jubiles back from 2516 BC = 3006 BC = 300 years after Noah's flood in 3307 BC. 52 X 49 = 2548 years = from 2516 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Genesis 16:16 "And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram."
The 50 year jubile in 2521 BC = Abraham 85 years old = 51 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 = the release of the jubile on Yom Kippur.
"the sons of light" may refer to a sun miracle on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Nevertheless, the bread and the wine Melchizedek offered is a parallel to Jesus' sacrifice.
Genesis 14:14 "And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
14:15 "And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus."
Judges 7:16 "And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers."
Judges 7:19 "So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon."
Leviticus 25:9 "Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
Genesis 14:16 "And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people."
Thus, this 2515 BC would be the 50th year, the jubile year to return the goods.
52 X 49 year jubiles from this 2516 BC = Jesus gave his life at the final jubile, April 3, 33 AD.
"In his, Seang, 28th year (1914 BC, rather 2094 BC), Han-tshu made his son Keaou murder the emperor."
A sun miracle may have been the omen to slay the emperor.
"the heir to the line of Hea, Shaou K'ang, was born in the year ping-yin, (1914 BC + 180 = 2094 BC). He fled from Yew-jing to Yu. In the year yih-yew (1895 BC + 180 = 2075 BC) in emperor Seang's 47th year. There is a 20 year gap to emperor Shaou-K'ang in 1874 BC (2054 BC).
The Chinese Classics
There are 38 years after this 28th year of emperor Seang in 1914 BC (2094 BC) to emperor Shaou-K'ang in 1874 BC (2054 BC), that may indicate sun miracles 38 years apart.
9 X 49 = 441. 2516 BC - 441 = 2075 BC. A sun miracle in this 2075 BC, ninth jubile, may have been the omen for a new emperor. There would be 43 X 49 years from 2075 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"in his 5th year (2026 BC), he removed from Yuen to Laou-k'ew."
The Chinese Classics
490 years from Melchizedek in 2516 BC is this 2026 BC when there may be a sun miracle that was taken as an omen to move, again.
Genesis 14:18 "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God."
The bread and wine represented Jesus' sacrifice.
Matthew 4:17 "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Yom Kippur was a 24 hour fast of repentence.
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
Isaiah 61:1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,"
Seven more days was the 17th day of the seventh month, and probably was Jesus' birthday, September 16, 29 AD or October 14, 29 AD.
Then that year before the 50th year = jubile = September 10, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, was the 49th year = fallow year. Then the Gospels begin with Jesus' ministry in the 49th year about the Passover six month before this Saturday, September 10, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. People would be free to hear the gospel because they would not be sowing their land in these two fallow years.
Isaiah 61 must have been written about the time of Cyrus. And probably on the 50 year jubile, from 522 BC = 70 years from the captivity September 7, 591 BC, at the first attempt to rebuild the temple, to foretell the final Yom Kippur and jubile spoken by Jesus September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Josiah's eighth year from 643 BC; is 635 BC, his 12th year is 631 BC, his 18th year is 625 BC, his 31st year is 612 BC when he died at 38 years of age.
In Ezekiel 1:1 The fifth year of Jehoiakim was the 30th year in 610 BC in 50 year jubiles from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, and again the count of the 50 year jubile in the time of Cyrus in the return from the 70 year captivity in 521 BC.
"In 538 BC he (Cyrus) decreed that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt at his own expense and that the treasures should be returned to the house of God. In 537 BC more than 40,000 of them undertook what they declared to be the 'Second Exodus' and joyfully trekked back to Jerusalem and to the land flowing with milk and honey."
Persians, Lloyd Llowellyn-Jones, The Age of the Great Kings. p.71.
537 BC should be 13 years more recent, and be 524 BC, and the return be 521 BC.
Friday, June 1, 631 BC was both the fifth day of the week and the fifth lunar day of the fourth lunar month.
Zephaniah 1:1 "The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
1:2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD."
Zephaniah 3:20 "At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD."
Ezra 3:1 "And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem."
Thus, the seventh month, tenth day, Yom Kippur, was kept on the 50 year jubile about 521 BC = 11 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus fulfillment, on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
August 10, 1241 BC was 1234 years before Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
There was 1026 years from Jacob entering Egypt in 2307 BC, year 430 Egyptian sothis from 2737 BC, to the Exodus of Moses at the end of the 1456 year Egyptian calendar in 1281 BC.
There was 2026 years from Noah's flood in 3307 BC to Moses crossing the Red/Reed Sea in 1281 BC.
2 Peter 2:5 "And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;"
There were eight people saved on the ark, perhaps out of 8 million or 80 million on earth = one in a million = about the same ratio today. Not only men, but woman, such as I3, H1g1, H2a2, were descended from Israel as well.
The Chinese Bible depicts fellowship used in Noah's flood, Genesis 6, 7, and 8; as 8 people in a boat, simply a picture of a boat with eight heads:
Genesis 7:13 "In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;"
Genesis 8:18 "And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
8:19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark."
Between the Caspian and Black Sea there were many people at the time of Noah's flood.
There are about 80 million people descended from Israel.
Romans 11:4 "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."
1 Kings 20:15 "Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand."
Even now there are about 7,000 Christians from distant Jewish ancestry, mostly R1b1 Jewish ancestry from Scotland. Nevertheless, some of our most excellent ministers are J2 and J1 Jewish ancestry. And many are R1b1 Jewish ancestry.
In one study about 20% of Spanish people are descended from Sephardic Jewish people. Most of Spain is R1b1. Of people from Jewish communities in Portuagal 12% are J1 from Abraham, 24% are J2 - probably from Israel in Egypt from about 2000 BC, 28% are R1b1.
Only three percent in parts of the south of Spain is J1 from Abraham or eight percent in Syracuse Sicily. That means many Sephardic Jewish people must be, and are, R1b1 too. R1b1 Jewish came from the Netherlands to Scotland to Spain and to Latin America. Even the Ivan Hoe cluster migrated east up the Mediterranean and into the Balkans.
J1 19% ancestry from Adam from 4672 BC and Abraham from 2607 BC. J2a* 6%, or J21b 14%, ancestry from the Sojourn in Egypt from 2150 BC, 150 years after Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC. R1b1 Jewish ancestry and Cohen ancestry from 80 generations ago, or even 125 generations ago in 1750 BC. The first Jewish ancestor in the Netherlands was possibly from 100 BC, or more likely, after the captivity of Jerusalem in 85 AD at Cologne and in the Netherlands The 10% Ashkenazi R1b1 may be from one individual in 1750 BC.
FamilyTreeDNA.com told me my common ancestor to "Polhill 1", Kent, England, who lived in 605 AD, and shares a common ancestor from 1750 BC. 150 X 25 years = 3750 years. Or 125 X 30 years = 3750 years. 150 generations or 125 generations to 1750 BC. Then, J1 from Jacob in Egypt in 2307 BC, J2 in Egypt from 2150 BC, E1b1b1a from about 1500 BC in Egypt and then R1b1.
"Polhill 1" lived from 605 - 658 AD shares a common Y-DNA ancestor 1700 BC. His mother was J1c3f. A member of the Cohen Y-DNA page stated his mother was this J1c3f, possibly from a daughter of the tribe of Levi and possibly a descendant of Moses' sister Miriam. Abraham is J1, so J1c3f may be a Jewish daughter because the Y-DNA J1 is Jewish. Thus Pholhill may have been Jewish and thus had a Jewsih mother. Then by extension this common R1b1 Y-DNA ancestor in 1750 BC may have become Jewish.
"Lubeck", Germany, lived between 1295 AD - 1399 AD and shares a common ancestor who lived in 1850 BC. His mother's mtDNA was J1, probably from Israel.
"Santok", Poland, lived between 1000 AD to 1200 AD and shares a common ancestor who lived in 1850 BC. His mother's mtDNA was J1ca1, also probably from Israel.
The small Scottish cluster puts Bennett by Cochrane and Wilson. This is one big tree with one R1b1 Jewish ancestor. L48 began about 500 BC. The numbers for L48 are highest in the Netherlands and the most diversity in Eastern Europe = the origin probably in Eastern Europe.
Nevertheless, Family Tree DNA tells me there are few that have tested from about 400 BC. There are many that match the Y-DNA from 1850 BC. Thus, the common ancestor to this huge family tree from Scotland may be from this 1850 BC.
Y-chromosomal Aaron from Wikipedia: Dating:
"Subsequent calculations under the coalescent model for J1 haplotypes bearing the Cohanim motif gave time estimates that place the origin of this genealogy around 6,200 years ago (95% CI: 4.5–8.6 Kybp), earlier than previously thought, and well before the origin of Judaism (David Kingdom, ∼2.9 ybp).[14] The latest studies on the other hand have proposed coalescence estimates ranging between ~3,200 and ~2,570 years before present, which are in broad agreement with a progenitor who lived during the First Temple period.[3][4]"
Thus, Y-DNA Adam should be this same 4,500 BC. Y-DNA Aaron should be this same 1,300 BC.
This is the same 80 generations of R1b1 Jewish from the Netherlands. 23 years to a generation, and these people could have fled Israel from the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 70 AD. However, over all descendants a generation is closer to 30 years, adding up to some time Before Christ.
The Romans, with their general Titus and with 60,000 soldiers, captured Jerusalem in 70 AD. And killed more than one million Jewish people there for the Passover. And took 90,000 Jewish people for slaves.
"Romans founded the old Cologne community in Germany in 85 AD. They imported Jewish people which knew arithmetic, reading, and writing to assist in its administration, either as captive slaves brought from the rebellion in Judea or as a paid workforce."
The Signs language of Adam
The 83 generations back to the first R1b1 L48 ancestor in the Netherlands may be to a family. Then the Jewish family may have arrived in 85 AD, but the common ancestor may be born some 100 years earlier.
There were very few Jewish people in the Netherlands before the first century AD.
William the Conqueror in 1066 AD imported Jewish people into England for their skill at accounting, for the King's business, and for this same reason.
A prayer of Moses:
Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up."
1000 years before Noah's flood was 4307 BC, 130 years after Adam died in 4437 BC. From Noah's flood in 3307 BC to the end of the Nile River flood, after seven years of plenty, the second year of famine, is Jacob entering Egypt in 2307 BC.
Thus, Solomon would be in his 38th year of reign in 1007 BC. Jesus was born in 7 BC and Jesus lived 38 years to 33 AD.
From David's birth in 1114 BC to the first captivity in 601 BC (the second in 591 BC) = 513 years = half of 1026 years.
Likewise, Joash's birth 100 years later in 914 BC Joash was made King in 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth and his death 40 years later in 868 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Joash's birth seven years before he became king in 907 BC may be like the year Annos Domini AD counting from 1 AD seven years after Jesus was born.
Likewise, David born 1114 BC and died at 70 in 1044 BC. The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice was in 1045 BC = 38 years to 1007 BC.
Adam died in year 930 Armenian Sothis, probably born in year 700 or year 800 = more likely Adam was born in year 700, and his life to almost the year 1000 was compared to a day.
19 X 49 = 931 years = the year Adam died = counting 931 years from 5358 BC.
Adam was in year 700, not 800, in the Septuagint. Next the jubiles were counted from this year 700 = 4672 BC.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. In 1460 years the sothis calendar backs up a whole year. Thus, a day is like a thousand years in the sothis calendar. In duodecimal - the number 1000 is 1440 years (12 X 12 X 10) with 5 days; 5 X 4 = 20 years, left over.
Thus, this 1460 years is really 1461 years including this 365 days back to the beginning, July 16. From the first year in the Armenian Sothis calendar 5368 BC are 1461 years to the end of the calendar in 3907 BC = 3900 years = 78 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth and 5400 years = 108 X 50 year jubiles from 5368 BC to Jesus' sacrifice.
Thus, 1000 duodecimal years equals one day.
From the beginning of the Armenian Sothis calendar in 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD - to the end of the Armenian Sothis cycle in 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth, about September 12, 7 BC. Thus, the Sothis cycle of 1460 years is like the life time of Jesus, from his crucifixion backwards to Jesus' birth.
The solar eclipse record was for this year 601 BC was on day 11 of cycle 60, when the solar eclipse took place on day 60 of cycle 60. Day 11 would be the Day of Atonement in Israel, the 10th day of the seventh Hebrew lunar month October 1, 601 BC. This was about the time Jehoiakim was taken into Babylon. He was 37 years in prison in Babylon till the death of Nebuchadezzar = the 38 years of Jesus' life.
From the first attempt to rebuild the temple in 520 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC = 513 years. From Solomon's completion of the temple in seven years from 1041 BC = 1034 BC = 513 years to the return after 70 years from 591 BC, and to begin building the temple again = 521 BC, from 521 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC is 513 years also. From Solomon's completion of the temple and of his own house 20 years from 1041 BC is also this 1021 BC. 1021 BC is 21 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' reading Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 = the fulfillment of the 50 year jubile.
The second attempt began in Darius' second year, 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The first quarter moon as recorded in king Wan's dream is the same position the sun and moon were in one year after the fall of Jericho when the sun moved back by moving with earth's rotation and standing still at noon 12 hours for the battle of Merom. Thus, the sun move back 180° in those 12 hours February 4, 1240 BC, or February 5, 1239 BC, on the sixth lunar day and also the sixth lunar zodiac position of 28 divisions in Scorpius.
More likely, king Wan's dream was February 5, 1239 BC, the sixth day of the moon, the sixth lunar zodiac from the first of the 28 signs of the lunar zodiac = from Corvus to Scorpius.
"While the beginning of a day is dawn, a five-planet conjunction occurring at dawn, with a new moon, and the start of spring would truly be the beginning of all cycles, he said. For calendar makers, such a moment would also be an ideal starting point for counting days, months, years and planetary periods."
http://manetheren.cl.msu.edu/~vanhoose/astro/0001.html
The sun returning one year after the fall of Jericho would see a six day moon, a five planet conjunction as the planets moved out of the way of the moving sun at sunset, in year 36 of cycle 60 day 30 of cycle 60, and year 1 of king Wan. Or year 37 of cycle 60, day 24 of cycle 60, February 5, 1239 BC.
The day began at evening. So, after sunset on February 5, 1239 BC would begin day 5 of cycle 60. One more day is day 6 of cycle 60.
This conjunction in Libra/Fang/Scorpius the sixth day lunar day of the moon of the first month would give the incentive to find just this ideal line up = a conjunction at dawn of the first month.
A conjunction in this Libra/Fang/Scorpius above at dawn in the first month of spring could naturally occur in a normal orbit. The conjunction above at sunset in Scorpius/Fang/Libra in the first month of spring was only because of a reverse orbit and not normal. It is impossible for the sun to be in Virgo in spring.
After thousands of years it was determined such and ideal conjunction to begin the calendar never did happen.
Such a conjunction in 104 BC could not happen without a sun miracle.
Nevertheless, the sun miracle of Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC so impressed the Chinese emperor Wen - the sun rose in the west to the meridian on China, he began his regnal count of 17 years, to year one. The meridian is the north - south line through the middle of the sky.
"Shih chi, 28.1383 records another "magic performance" by Hsin-yuan P'ing. After the sun had risen to the meridian once, he told the emperor, "I expect the sun to rise to the meridian twice [in one day]" After a while, the sun really rose to the meridian again. Liang Yu-sheng argues it was this incident that made Emperor Wen change the calendar."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II. p.176
"In his (Te-sin) 22nd year, in winter, he had great hunting along the Wei." "On the kea-tsze day, in the last month of Autumn, a red bird came to Fung..My ancestor, the recorder Ch'ow, divined once for Yu about hunting; and then he met with Kaou-yaou, - from an omen like that which has now occurred."
The Chinese Classics. p.139
"He burned the fish in sacrifice, and announced the event to Heaven. Lo! fire came down from heaven, and rested over Wang uh, gradually floating away into a red bird, with a stalk of grain in its beak. The grain was in commemoration of the virtue of the prince Tseih; the fire was an auspicious response from heaven to the burnt offering of the fish.
The Chinese Classics. p.144
This sun miracle in Te-sin's 22nd year may have occurred on November 16, 1207 BC on day one of cycle 60.
Or this may be day one of cycle 60 September 21, 1207 BC on day 17 of the lunar month - only September was the second month of Chinese Autumn, not the last month.
Most likely winter began 45 days before the winter solstice December 30, in 1207 BC, and winter began in November.
The sun must return on the same date either one or two or more years later, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then the sun may return two years later on the lunar eclipse, September 23, 1205 BC.
Likewise, a sun miracle on Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC, the 17th day of the 7th month = two years later the sun return, on the full moon and lunar eclipse, September 15, 5 BC. In both cases the sun return three days later.
This may have been a prophesy of Jesus' birth in September 13, 7 BC also on day 17 of the lunar month. The ark of Noah rested on the mountains on the 17th day of the 7th month. The five planets were in conjunction. Only this was fall and not spring. Even king Wan's dream was spring but not a new moon. Thus, the desire to find a grand epoch, a beginning of cycles. The beginning of cycles would also include the sun moving 180° in spring to Virgo and the sun passing from east to west through the year in the reverse orbit. Thus, spring would be in the east.
Back from the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC, back two years and half an orbit 365 + 365 + 186 = the full moon Friday, March 22, 1207 BC.
"In his, Te-sin, 21st year, in the spring, in the first month, the princes went to Chow to do homage."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.139
The first month = the full moon, Friday, March 22, 1207 BC = the Passover in Israel. An omen of a sun miracle, such as the sun being darkened like it was when Jesus was on the cross, may cause "the princes to do homage."
September 24, 1207 BC is equal to September 12, 7 BC because the Julian calendar adds one day every 128 years. 1207 / 128 = 10 days, September 23 - 10 days = September 13, 7 BC. Likewise, Jesus' sacrifice also on a Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
No solar eclipses occur in China in Te-sin's 22nd year = 1206 BC or his 21st year = 1207 BC, or within plus or minus three years. There is one for January 21, 1210 BC for day 31 of cycle 60 but this is not day one of cycle sixty. The red bird can only mean the phoenix, and thus this 22nd year of Te-sin on day one can only mean a sun miracle.
The total solar eclipse of October 30, 1207 BC in Israel was not just before Merneptah's stele that stated Israel was a widow and wasted, because Merneptah died about April 5, 1281 BC. Thus, the total solar eclipse of October 30, 1207 BC had nothing to do with Joshua's long day of August 10, 1241 BC. Joshua's long day states a Hebrew word the sun was silent or dimmed.
The meaning of the word in the context means to stand still in the sky. And to leave the same daily coral layer in the sea the sun may have been dimmed also. The same day should be the battle by Gideon, and Isaiah 8 and Isaiah 9 describe that day as a day of dimness.
Nevertheless, there was a lunar eclipse king Wan recorded in China on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC and there may have been a sun miracle in 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Pharaoh Merneptah died in April 3, 1281 BC not May 2, 1205 BC = Israel already in Palestine in 1285 BC and Merneptah destroyed those in southern Israel in Merneptah's 5th year recorded in Merneptha's stela. Pharaoh Ramses died in 1291 BC = the king of Egypt that died:
Exodus 2:23 "And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died:"
Merneptah reigned from this 1291 BC ten years = the Exodus in 1281 BC.
The 50 year jubile was in 1291 BC to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC. The 49 year jubile in 1242 BC.
Isaiah 8:22 "And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
9:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian."
The sun angel, the phoenix and the dragon, seen moving the sun in China were recorded as being too bright to look at.
Ezekiel 1:14 "And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning."
God used miracles so people would know this was the Messiah, his Son.
John 10:38 "But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him."
For Galilee to be in the shadow of death the sun may have stood still on the western horizon or the eastern horizon. Then there may be darkness for three days like there was darkness in Egypt for three days.
Joshua asked God to "damam" the sun = dim and stop the sun. On a dim and cloudy day one can easily see, and fight a battle. This day of dimness at this battle with Midian by Gideon may be the same dim sun of Joshua's long day. To leave the same daily coral layer as on a normal day the sun may have been needed to be dimmed.
Thus the sun stopped over Gibeon = the sun was motionless over Gibeon, and the moon stayed stuck over Ajalon.
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun ascended"
In the Septuagint: "returned from the ascent of Chares". Chares = heres = the crimson sun = the same as shining = a great light. Also, sun burn, sun itch. Thus, the sun may have been seven times brighter when the sun rose suddenly in the east causing sun burn.
H8438 תֹּלַעַת תּוֹלַעַת תּוֹלֵעָה תּוֹלָע tôlâ‛ tôlê‛âh tôla‛ath tôla‛ath to-law', to-lay-aw', (3,4) to-lah'-ath From H3216; a maggot (as voracious); specifically (often with ellipsis of H8144) the crimson grub, but used only (in this connection) of the color from it, and cloths dyed therewith: - crimson, scarlet, worm. Total KJV occurrences: 43
"Tiny 3,800-year old textile found in Israel was dyed with biblical ‘scarlet worm’"
The phoenix was reborn from a worm.
Psalm 22:6 "But I am a worm,H8438 and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people."
The phoenix name means purple/red bird. Thus, the word "Chares" may refer to the phoenix as well as the sun.
Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet,H8144 they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson,H8438 they shall be as wool."
Deuteronomy 14:11 "Of all clean birds ye shall eat."
Thus, the phoenix would be a clean "bird"
Judges 1:35 "But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries."
Mount Heres by the Ajalon Valley may refer to the sun = Heres.
Mount = ascent.
Heres = sun.
Judges 1:35 may equal Juges 8:13 "And Gideon returned before the sun, Heres, ascended".
Possibly the sun set in the east on Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Then Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC the sun may suddenly rise in the east. Thus, both Joshua and Gideon would see the sun suddenly ascend on a Sunday. Perhaps, on Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC and on Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Thus both times the sun would be called "Heres" = ascending sun.
Or, Gideon's battle, Israelites already in the land in the north, be the day of the crossing the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, and the sun ascended suddenly in the east February 5, 1241 BC.
Gideon's battle may be Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = the next day be Joshua 8:13 when the sun suddenly ascended. Then Joshua's long day be the 21st day of the seventh month at the last great day of the feast of the fruits, the feast of tabernacles, the in gathering, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
The borders in Joshua 19 seem to describe the area south of Joshua's battle in Gibeon with the valley of Ajalon. Nevertheless, the ascent of the sun may be associated with Joshua's battle, Joshua's long day. The ascent of the sun from the west = Dan to the west of Benjamin, on Joshua's long day may be the meaning of the mount of Heres.
Here again Aijalon in Zebulun is connected to Heres the sun (Timnathheres)= "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
Timnath-serah = abundant portion, was renamed Timnath-heres = portion of the sun, to commemorate the sun standing still for Joshua.
Judges 2:8 "And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
2:9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash."
Thus, you see also Timnathheres. Joshua may have chosen the name Heres, a place nearby the battle of Gibeon, after the sun miracle on Joshua's long day. Also, the next day, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or the next day from Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, be Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, should be a sudden ascent of the sun in the east when the sun moved back and earth flowed back into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Joshua 24:30 "And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash."
"mount Heres" could mean "the ascent of the sun." = the sun ascending from the west or the east. Most likely mount Heres equals Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before Heres ascended."
Sera is the reverse of the spelling heres.
H8556 תִּמְנַת סֶרַח תִּמְנַת חֶרֶס timnath cheres timnath serach tim-nath kheh'-res, tim-nath seh'-rakh From H8553 and H2775; portion of (the sun; Timnath Cheres, a place in Palestine: - Timnath-heres, Timnath-serah.
Thus, Timnathserah and Timnathsera may point to earth in a revese orbit around the sun = a reverse zodiac.
Timnathheres = portion of the sun. Timnathserah = abundant portion.
Ephesians 3:19 "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
God answered Joshua's prayer. He moved the sun around the earth for 12 hours, or more likely for 24 hours, with earth's rotation for a whole day, above all that Joshua asked. Thus, Joshua called his inheritance "portion of the sun" and "abundant portion".
Judges 14:18 "And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun (heres) went down,"
The seventh day Jesus was in the tomb. Shortly after the sun went down, probably in the east, the sun would suddenly rise in the east.
Job 9:7 "Which commandeth the sun (heres), and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
Amos 4:12 "Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
4:13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name."
The Friday night Jesus was in the tomb may have been a very long night, the sun not rising.
Psalm 112:4 "Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."
"ariseth light" points to the resurrection sunrise.
"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:" may equal "the sun ascended" brilliantly in the east = Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC = the resurrection Sunday sunrise when Jesus rose from the dead, April 5, 33 AD.
The fiftieth jubile, that is of cycle 50 years, must have been marked by a sun miracle about Yom Kippur when Jesus started his ministry, Friday, September 9, 29 AD. Or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
Matthew 4:13 "And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Thus, fifty year jubiles from this August 10, 1241 BC to the captivity September 7, 591 BC, 70 year captivity to August 521 BC, fifty year jubiles to September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
1 John 2:8 "Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth."
Chinese emperor Wending reigned 15 years from 1251 BC or 1250 BC = the solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC. Emperor Wending's 12th year was king Wan's first year, king Wan's dream, either February 5, 1239 BC or February 15, 1240 BC.
His 12th year 1239 BC, his 15th year would be 1235 BC. 1239 BC - 70 years = 1168 BC = the sun miracle in King Ching's first year = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Te-sin's 22nd year must be 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth.
There would be a lunar eclipse recorded in September 23, 1205 BC, in year 35 of king Wan. The sun would move from the first lunar zodiac in Virgo to the 14th lunar zodiac in Pisces. Thus, the Chinese would be encouraged to look for a beginning epoch.
Perhaps encouraged by these miracles in the 13th century BC, that nearly match this epoch, their search continued till 1280 AD when they concluded such a magical event never did occur.
Possibly the children of Israel would pass through the river Jordan on dry land Sunday, March 3, 1241 BC and keep the Passover Friday, March 9, 1241 BC. But most likely the crossing of the Jordan river was one month earlier.
Joshua's long day may have been almost the same date, the 21st day and Jesus' birth the 17th day of the seventh month - a difference of only four days.
Joshua's long day the 21st of the seventh month, and Jesus' birth the 17th of the seventh month.
King Wan's dream was on the sixth day of the first lunar month of spring. However, the sun was 180° away from the spring constellation of Pisces. So before the sun moved back the Chinese would need to keep track of the calendar because they would not be able to tell what season they were in by the position of the sun in the zodiac. If king Wan's dream was March 18, 1240 BC there must be an example of the Chinese beginning their year in March and not January/February.
Nevertheless king Wan's dream must be his first year, in the spring of 1239 BC = February 5, 1239 BC = the 35th year at the lunar eclipse day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC.
An example may be the sixth lunar month in China were in there was darkness in 591 BC September 7. September 1 began the sixth lunar month in China. The sixth day be September 7, 591 BC = the fifth lunar month in Israel = the total eclipse record of Halys in the same fifth month = was a sun miracle not an eclipse.
May 28 is not the fifth month from spring. Jerusalem fell on the fifth month, the eclipse was on the fifth month. The darkness at noon at Jerusalem = darkness at Halys Turkey at noon = the sun fell from the sky at noon.
The darkness and not an eclipse was on the seventh day of the sixth Chinese lunar month on day 40 of cycle 60 = the seventh day, and sabbath day, of the fifth Hebrew lunar month. Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 should be either September 9, 29 AD = day 11 of cycle 60. Or was October 7, 29 AD = this same day 40 of cycle 60 in China and exaclty three and a half years of Jesus' ministry to his crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
There was 40 days from Jesus' birth: 8 days to his circumcision, 33 more days of purifying, till his parents presented him to the temple.
The solar eclipse of October 10, 592 BC was not visible from China and was day 8 of cycle 60, not day 40 of cycle 60. Also the year was 591 BC not 592 BC. Then, this record was not an eclipse.
Jeremiah 6:3 "The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
6:4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
6:5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
The shepherds with their flocks = the birth of Jesus, September 12, 7 BC, when the shepherds were watching the sheep during breeding season in Bethlehem.
The same date September 12, 6 BC was on the new moon. The same date September 12, 5 BC was just before the full moon and lunar eclipse and blood moon = sun miracle described by Josephus.
The "let us go by night" may equal one hour of darkness at noon = the darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross.
Thus, the solar eclipse recorded at sunset in China = noon in israel, on day 40 of cycle 60, September 7, 591 BC. No day of 40 of cycle 60 matches any solar eclipse for many years before and after this 591 BC. This same darkness is described when Jesus was on the cross from the sixth hour of the day = noon.
Then April 7, 591 BC began the first month of Spring and the darkness at the fall of Jerusalem was in the sixth month in China, day 40 of cycle 60, September 7, 591 BC as the Chinese recorded the "eclipse". However, there is the possibililty the sun returned one year later Sunday, September 7, 590 BC after the fall of Jerusalem. September 7, 590 BC was the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month = Jesus' birth on the 17th day of the 7th month September 12, 7 BC.
Nevertheless, September 7, 591 BC was the lunar day 7 = no solar eclipse, and the solar eclipse record on day 40 of cycle 60 in China.
The solar eclipse of Halys not May 28, 585 BC, but in the fifth month, the same fifth month, in Israel, the same seventh day of the month Jeruslem fell = the sun darkened at noon in Israel = darkened at sunset in China, September 7, 591 BC.
The sun was darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Jesus' birthday may have been Sunday, September 13, 7 BC the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month. Exactly one week earlier, Sunday, September 6, 7 BC was Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement. There may have been a sun miracle half an orbit back from September 7, 591, being the new moon, March 7, 591 BC.
Nevertheless, the fall of Jerusalem on the seventh day of the fifth month as recorded in the Bible, day 40 of cycle 60 in China, should be September 7, 591 BC.
Ezekiel 32:1 "And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
This first day of the 12th month may be the first day of the week, and allowing for the new moon not visible behind clouds till Sunday, March 2, 590 BC. Thus, this 12th year be the destruction of Jerusalem. The first month would begin on the new moon March 7, 591 BC. Then a sun miracle half an orbit later, the "eclipse" of September 7, 591 BC.
Ezekiel 32:17 "It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
One year after September 7, 591 BC, is the 15th day of the month, September 7, 590 BC. The sun may have returned one year later, September 7, 590 BC. Thus, the fall of Jerusalem may have been about September 7, 590 BC, but probably was September 7, 591 BC = the solar eclipse day 40 of cycle 60 in China in the sixth month in 591 BC that cannot be a solar eclipse.
Ezekiel 30:20 "And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
The first month may be the civil calendar = September. Thus, the solar eclipse record, that was not an eclipse but a sun miracle = the sun was darkened, in China, September 7, 591 BC, may have occurred in this eleventh year. Then the destruction of Jerusalem follow September 7, 590 BC or more likely the destruction of Jerusalem at darkness at noon was September 7, 591 BC.
Or the first month of spring. March 6, 590 BC is the seventh day of the first month, counting from the Passover month in spring, half an orbit after the fall of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC.
The same lunar date the seventh day of the seventh month is also half an orbit later, the seventh day of the first month. 29.5 days a lunar month, X 6 = 178 days, 178 days after September 7, 591 BC is September 7, 590 BC.
From Fall to Spring are 178.64 days. From Spring to Fall are 186.6 days. 178.64 + 186.6 = 365.24.
Jeremiah 39:2 "And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up."
You will read of many sun miracles here on the fourth month, the fourth month of summer.
Ezekiel 33:21 "And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten."
This eleventh year and twelfth year must be the same. A sun miracle, Sunday, August 11, 591 BC on the ninth of Tammuz, the fourth month, and a sun miracle 177 days later, half an orbit later on the 5th of the tenth month, Sunday, February 2, 590 BC and the sun may return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. Then the sun miracle of darkness September 7, 591 BC may be the sun revolving around earth at or very near the speed of light for one hour at noon Israel time and at sunset China day 40 of cycle and the seventh day of the fifth month in Israel the same day.
Gravity travels at the speed of light, as does light. Thus, if God moved the sun around the earth, not only would the sun be dark for about one hour, but the gravity pull on tides would not be felt as well. No light no gravity pull either. Solar tides are 40% of lunar tides.
There are two tides about 12 hours apart every day. The tide closest to the moon and the tide furthest from the moon.
The gravity pull from the sun and moon would equal day and night exactly. The sun moving west to east may leave an unusual tide, but still that tide would be tied to the sun. The sun revolving around the earth at or very near the speed of light for one hour would leave no solar tide at all. Nevertheless, an equal gravity pull may be created. Just look at dark matter and dark energy. They are called dark because we do not know what they are. Dark energy repels matter, dark matter acts with gravity.
God having gone to these great lengths to hide his power would go even further to hide his power, to produce the same tides as normal to leave the same tide sediment as normal.
No light from the sun and the moon would be dark. Even almost the second light from the sun in the eight minutes it travelled from the sun, stopped on the earth, in two seconds light from the moon would stop as well. If the sun was moved 360° the moon may be moved 360° as well. But probably the moon remained leaving the same tidal bulge. Nevertheless, for the full moon to even appear at noon would mean the moon was moved also. Thus, sometimes the sun goes around the moon. Thus, a very darkened moon may appear at noon when Jesus was on the cross.
Nevertheless, the moon must have been left alone = the same lunar tide as normal. No gravity from the sun means a gravity pull where the sun was must be made to leave the same solar tide that day.
No light from the sun and the two innermost planets, Mercury, Venus, would stop reflecting light from the sun in minutes, Mars in 16 minutes and 16 more minutes till light from Mars stopped reaching earth. If Earth is on the other side of Mars from the sun, light from Mars will take another 32 minutes, thus 40 minutes after light stopped coming from the sun. Light from the sun takes 46 minutes to reach Jupiter and another 46 minutes till the light from Jupiter stopped. Likewise 80 minutes to Saturn and 80 minutes back to earth.
If the sun disappeared it would take 8 minutes = the time for light or gravity to reach the earth, for earth to not feel the gravity pull of the sun and continue in a straight line not an orbit. If the sun was moved around the earth, the gravity pull would still be there, earth would continue forward. However, this forward momentum would have to be carefully controlled so as to not draw closer to the sun. After the sun had moved 180° earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. In this reverse orbit earth must be carefully controlled to keep the same orbit as it normally would have for the duration of the one or more years of reverse orbit.
It would be about half an hour for Mars to appear dark because it would take 16 minutes for light to get to Mars from the sun and 8 minutes to 32 minutes for light to get to earth from Mars. It would take more than an hour for light to stop coming from Jupiter and almost three hours for light to stop coming from Saturn. 80 minutes for light from the sun to reach Saturn, and about the same 80 minutes for light from Saturn to reach earth = 3 hours. Thus, these two outermost planets could still be visible on earth within the one hour 360° circuit of the sun. Although Jupiter and Saturn would have a delayed one hour of darkness.
Then for the five planets to appear in Fang/Scorpius in king Wan's dream, the time delay for light from Saturn to earth would mean Saturn appear in Scorpius for an hour and a half before light from Saturn came to earth to show Saturn had moved.
Studies of ancient lunar and solar tides are only now being researched in depth. Eventually, the truth will be known God moved the sun. But the results will not be what man wants. God has left no evidence so we need faith.
Psalm 53:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
If God moved the sun at or very near the speed of light and moved with the sun, time would stop on the sun while continuing on earth. On other times the half hour of left over time of an half reverse orbit may be countered by the sun moving 180°. Thus, the sun could appear dark in Israel while the sun revolved 180° around the earth from horizon to horizon. Because time would stop on the sun, the sun would appear dark. Rather then the almost one hour to complete 360° to counter two sped up half reverse orbits.
From September to March is the sped up orbit as earth's closest approach to the sun about January 3. 179 days and 186.5 days from equinox to equinox = 365.24 days. This sped up half orbit is a sped up 24:30 hours that equals 360° in 24 hours, leaving sped up time of 30 minutes. Two winter half orbits in reverse leave 30 + 30 = 60 minutes. For time to match, the sun moved around the earth so fast that time stops on the sun for almost one hour = this also sped up two half earth orbits for also a total of one hour left over.
Thus, a clock on the earth before and after would tell the same exact time, matching the day and the hour and the minute and the second of the day.
Two reverse orbits to Jesus' sacrifice gives 84 hours longer day/night April 3, 33 AD from April 3, 31 AD to April 3, 33 AD. Two sped up winter half orbits before this, October 7, 29 AD to April 3, 30 AD and October 3, 30 AD to April 3, 31 AD.
Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Mark 15:33 "And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Luke 23:44 "Now it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness fell upon the whole earth and lasted until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was obscured, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."
"already" may refer to it being already dark at the sixth hour = noon, and may refer to the sun moved west from the third hour = 9 AM presently to the sixth hour 12 PM, and then the sun accelerated to the speed of light and sudden darkness at noon for one or three hours.
The sun may have been darkened for three hours. Just the model of moving the sun around the earth in under one hour at or very near the speed of light.
The only clock was a sundial. Darkness at 12 PM on the sundial to the 3 PM shadow when the sun appears again. However, The sun's shadow at the 3 PM position may have been produced by the sun travelling at or very near the speed of light which should take 55 minutes. Two sped up half reverse orbits should have 30 minutes of sped up orbit. Thus, the winter sped up half orbit of 24:30 hours = 30 minutes extra.
The sun standing still for a total of 24 hours = 2 X 12 hours; perhaps the sun standing still in the sky while moving 180° to the other side of earth in 12 hours to the other side of earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then half an orbit later the sun standing still for 12 hours and moving 180° back and earth flowing out of the reverse orbit = 24 hours of long day that counter 24 hours of earth's sped up orbit, leaves 30 minutes of sped up time left over.
A sped up winter half orbit of 24:30 hours after the sun moves back; 12 hours to begin the reverse orbit and 12 hours to end the reverse orbit = 2 X 180° is 2 X 12 hours = 24 hours, with 30 minutes left over.
Then 30 minutes X 2 half reverse orbits = 60 minutes extra sped up time on earth. Making the sun move around the earth at or very near the speed of light matches the one hour of sped up time on earth leaving no missing minutes on the clock. The sun may have been darkened for 60 minutes. The sun travelling at or very near the speed of light around the earth completing 360° in 55 minutes and traveling an extra 5 minutes west to 60 minutes, of darkness, is 5 more minutes; 60 minutes in one hour means 5 minutes equals 1/12 X 24 hours = two hours.
Then there be one hour of darkness then the sun's shadow would appear two hours further west + the one hour passing = the sun's shadow appear again at the 9th hour = 3 PM.
Mark 15:44 "And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead."
From the third hour to sunset on the 12th hour to be on the cross would be a very long time.
Acts 2:19 "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:"
The darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross was 50 days previous at April 3, 33 AD, and Pentecost, Sunday, May 24, 33 AD.
"wonders in heaven" or Omens, Portents, sun miracles.
Joel 2:1 "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2:2 A day of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
H2822 חֹשֶׁךְ chôshek kho-shek' From H2821; the dark; hence (literally) darkness; figuratively misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness: - dark (-ness), night, obscurity. Total KJV occurrences: 79
H653 אֲפֵלָה 'ăphêlâh af-ay-law' Feminine of H651; duskiness, figuratively misfortune; concretely concealment: - dark, darkness, gloominess, X thick. Total KJV occurrences: 10
Joel 2:10 "The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:"
Acts 2:16 "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
2::21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Joel 2 and Acts 2 both speak of Jesus coming again.
Both the sun and moon dark - is not a solar or lunar eclipse.
On a solar eclipse the sun is dark, and the moon infront is dark. But what is being described is the sun being darkened, and the moon not receiving light from the sun.
Likewise, a lunar eclipse the moon is dark and the sun on the other side of the earth to cast its shadow on the moon.
Again, what is described is sun miracle = the sun being moved at the speed of light and becoming dark, not a naturally occuring lunar or solar eclipse.
If God moved the sun around the earth near the speed of light, the sun would be darkened because time on the sun would stop, and also the moon would not receive light from the sun.
The full moon to be dark must count from sunset when the moon rise in the east = Friday night, April 3, 33 AD when Jesus was taken down from the cross by Joseph of Arimathaea.
Joel 2:10 "The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall tremble:H7493 the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be dark,H6937 and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shining:H5051"
Joel 2:10 in the Aleppo Codex, the last two lines and the next line below:
Here you see the same verses in the Interlinear Bible with Strongs numbers, Joel 2:10.
H6937 קָדַר qâdar kaw-dar' A primitive root; to be ashy, that is, dark colored; by implication to mourn (in sackcloth or sordid garments): - be black (-ish), be (make) dark (-en), X heavily, (cause to) mourn. Total KJV occurrences: 17
Here you see the word for Heavens is like the root word for sun, shem, in plural. The word for dark is similar to the words used for dark in Zechariah 14:6 beginning with the letter Qof. The day was neither dark nor light.
Zechariah 14:6 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor darkH7087:"
H7087 קָפָא qâphâ' kaw-faw' A primitive root; to shrink, that is, thicken (as unracked wine, curdled milk, clouded sky, frozen water): - congeal, curdle, dark`, settle.
Gideon attacked at the beginning of the middle watch and fought a battle at night. Perhaps Gideon had twilight in which to fight the battle. The earth quake because of the gravity pull of the sun being moved around the earth. The heavens shake may be a shower of meteorites as earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
H7264 רָגַז râgaz raw-gaz' A primitive root; to quiver (with any violent emotion, especially anger or fear): - be afraid, stand in awe, disquiet, fall out, fret, move, provoke, quake, rage, shake, tremble, trouble, be wroth. Total KJV occurrences: 41
H7493 רָעַשׁ râ‛ash raw-ash A primitive root; to undulate (as the earth, the sky, etc.; also a field of grain), particularly through fear; specifically to spring (as a locust): - make afraid, (re-) move, quake, (make to) shake, (make to) tremble. Total KJV occurrences: 30
Moving the sun around the earth and there should be earthquakes; the planets must move also; there should be streaks of meteor showers as asteroids move into earth's path of orbit; stars from the other half of the sky should appear. Meteor showers appear mostly after midnight to 6 AM. In a reverse orbit meteor showers instead would appear mostly from sunset to midnight. Also, the swirl of asteroids that normally travel with earth's orbit would instead hit the earth head on = brighter meteor showers.
Joel 2:31 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come"
Joel 2:31 The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015 into darkness,H2822 and the moonH3394 into blood,H1818 beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and the terribleH3372 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 come.H935 "

The jubile April 3, 33 AD was just 50 days before Pentecost. The many sun miracles on jubiles from Adam and the Armenian Sothis calendar. 5368 BC = 50 year cycles to April 3, 33 AD, 5358 BC = 49 year cycles to April 3, 33 AD, 4672 BC Adam 700th year from 5368 BC = both 49 year cycles to April 3, 33 and 50 year cycles to September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
2369 BC = both 49 year and 50 year cycles to April 3 33 AD, 2222 BC = 49 year cycles to April 3, 33 AD and 50 year cycles to September 9, 29 AD, 1045 BC = 49 year cycles to April 3, 33 AD, 458 BC = 49 year cycles to April 3, 33 AD; all in 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, and 49 year and 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From the birth of Adam in 4668 BC; 4700 years to Jesus' sacrifice, are 2300 years to this 2368 BC; 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The sun was darkened when Jesus was on the cross = this jubile = Jesus' coming again.
There was no record of this darkness outside of the Bible. Then, the sun may have risen in the west and set in the east that Sabbath Jesus was in the grave, and there be no record of that either. Even that Sabbath there may have been a long night/day to equal the three days, 3 X 24 hours, Jesus was in the grave.
Isaiah 16:3 "Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth."
Amos 8:1 "Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit."
Amos 8:8 "Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
Isaiah 13:10b "the sun shall be darkened in his going forth,"
That is, God may have moved the sun at or very near the speed of light = time would stop on the sun and the sun would be completely black. Likewise, Amos - for the sun to go down at noon should also mean God moved the sun at or very near the speed of light.
"If the sun is suddenly swept away, the disturbance in the local spacetime geometry travels for eight minutes (at the speed of light) until it reaches earth, and we feel the change. And in the meanwhile a disturbance in the electromagnetic field travels for the same eight minutes until it reaches the earth, and we see the sun has disappeared. The second effect is 'carried' by the electromagnetic field, the first is 'carried' by spacetime."
Quantum SPACE, by Jim Baggott, p.210
2 Kings 15:13 "Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria."
From Uzziah in 802 BC to his 39th year = 763 BC:
Here you can see the solar eclipse of 763 BC was not total in Israel, but was total in Nineveh, the epicenter, for five minutes.
This 763 BC solar eclipse is the only match for this period.
"This year corresponds approximately to 763 BC. The month Siwan, the third month of the year, was equivelant to May/June. References to the charts of Oppolzer (1887) shows that between 777 and 745 BC only two eclipses could have been large in Assyria: BC 765 February 10 and 763 June 15..the record gives no information regarding magnitude."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, by F Richard Stephenson. p.127.
With the approximation of the date, there is the possibility of this solar eclipse record being rather of a sun miracle as in Amos 8:9.
The summer fruit in Amos 8:1 may refer to the sun darkened in its going forth in this month Siwan, the third month from the Passover.
"the land tremble" may refer to the affect of moving the sun around the earth.
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
There is a suggested date of 759 BC for this great earthquake. So, although there was a solar eclipse about this time in Nineveh for June 15, 763 BC and most likely this solar eclipse is meant, the reading of Amos 8:9 is the sun "was darkened in its going forth" going forth at or very near the speed of light. Also the character for eclipse describes a crescent that could describe the sun being moved near the speed of light - a thin red vertical line.
Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
No light from the sun and no light reflected by the moon. The red line of the sun in dilation at the speed of light, may make the moon a faint blood red colour.
"In his first year which was sin-wei (8th of cycle = B.C. 769) the king removed the capitol to the east, to the city of Loh."
The Chinese Classics, p.158
China removed kings often when there was an omen of a sun miracle. Then, the possibility of a sun miracle and earthquake in 769 BC instead of the estimated geological date of 759 BC. 769 BC is 800 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In (Emperor Fah - his first year not 1595 BC but 1715 BC) his seventh year (1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth), he died. Mount T'ae shook."
The Chinese Classics, p.124
From 1595 BC plus 120 years further back = the missing 2 X 60 year cycles between 1107 BC and 987 BC.
There is a 120 year gap, either between the death of emperor Ch'aou in 1087 BC and the first year of emperor Muh in 965 BC (or 961 BC) or from the death of emperor K'ang in 1107 BC to Ch'aou in 987 BC = the 19 years of Ch'aou to Muh in 967 BC.
That is, "Muh reigned 59 years", to 906 BC, must be from 965 BC, not from 951 BC.
Also, there is a 60 year gap about this same 1708 BC (like 1107 BC = X07 BC) some time after emperor Yu in 2169 BC (2200 years to Jesus' sacrifice).
2 X 60 year cycles, less seven years is 1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Or 60 more years back = 1768 BC = 1800 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In (King Yew) his 2nd year (from 780 BC = 779 BC) sin-yew 58 of cycle 60, the 1st year of prince Wan of Tsin, - the King, Wei, and Loh, all became dry. A part of mount K'e fell down.."
The Chinese Classics, p.157
The solar eclipse records in the Chinese Classics from day 28 of cycle 60, on September 6, 776 BC, match to the day of 60 and the year of 60.
Year of reign of Yew 6, year of cycle 2, moon X, day of cycle 28 = the partial solar eclipse September 6, 776 BC.
This 779 BC record may be an earthquake. Note that mount K'e is referred to. King Wan also mentioned mount K'e the night at sunset in China = noon Israel, when the sun stood still at the western horizon for 12 hours. "a phoenix duck sang on mount K'e"
From the Dead Sea: "Using carbon-14 dating of organic matter in the deformed layers, Kagan dated one quake to 861-705 B.C.E. and the second to 824-667 B.C.E."
Azariah and Uzziah are two different kings. Thus, this reference to the earthquake in Amos may refer to the one before 800 BC, as well as one after 800 BC. Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life. Uzziah reigned 52 years from 802 BC to 750 BC. Josephus wrote the earthquake was a result of King Uzziah offering incense in the temple that only the priests were allowed to offer.
2 Kings 15:13 "Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria."
Again, in the 39th year, of Uzziah = the 38.5 years of Jesus' perfect life. From 802 BC - 39 years = 763 BC = the solar eclipse in Nineveh, June 15, 763 BC.
Isaiah 24:23 "Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously."
Zephaniah 1:15 "That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"
Jeremiah 4:28 "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it."
Jeremiah 15:8 "Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
15:9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 13:15 "Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.
13:16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness."
Jeremiah 31:35 "Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:"
Micah 3:6 "Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them."
Micah 7:8 "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me."
The shadow of death may be the sabbath Jesus was in the tomb before his resurrection.
In both Amos and Isaiah the sun is darkened in his going forth. Then God must have moved the sun around the earth at or very near the speed of light. Time would stop on the sun, thus there would be no light for almost one hour.
Then the sun would reappear in the 3 PM position at 1 PM, the 3 PM shadow on the sundial.
The only clock at that time was the sundial.
The sun arriving at the 3 PM position because the sun has completed 360° in less than one hour at the speed of light.
The sun must move 360° in 53 minutes at least = leaving one minute to accelerate from inertia to the speed of light and one minute to deaccelerate to inertia, to travel at the speed of light and be completely dark = 55 minutes. Or simply the sun was moved to the speed of light in seconds, and the sun travelled very near the speed of light so only a few seconds passed in that one hour travelling 360° around the earth.
The sun must be moved immediately, in a few seconds, from inertia to the speed of light.
Theoretically the sun may have been accelerated slowly taking many hours to get up to speed to appear to stand still in the sky. This would not work because earth would have rotated the sun out of view before standing still in the sky. And also, that theoretically would also mean the sun must decelerate over many hours also into the next day.
Simply moving the sun immediately to 20 million miles per hour to stand still in the sky for Joshua.
Or the sun may have been moved at 40 million miles per hour to rise in the west, pause at 20 million miles per hour to stand still at noon for Joshua, and proceed to set in the east.
For Hezekiah the sun must pass west to east in 12 hours.
Or for Hezekiah the sun pass from sunset in the west presently at about about 90% the speed of light = 600 million miles per hour to retreat from the west to set in the east presently = in about 40 minutes for Hezekiah.
The sun darkened at noon at the fall of Jerusalem and at noon when Jesus was on the cross means the sun must move almost the speed of light to appear almost completely dark.
The speed of light is 670,616,629 miles per hour. So 10% of the speed of light is 67 million miles per hour and 90% is 600 million miles per hour.
God created the universe, this is exactly God's power.
Even more specifically, the angels of God, the phoenix, flew to the sun and moved the sun. In some depictions, both Chinese and Native American, the phoenix carried the sun in its beak = The emperor was given a jade bird holding a red pearl in its beak = Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC = the sun rising in the west and passing the meridian - the noon position in China.
There must be two fall/winter half orbits leaving 30 minutes each in missing time = 60 minutes. From the fall equinox to the spring equinox are 179 days. 179/365.2 X 48 hours = 23 hours and 30 minutes. Conversely the sped up half orbit has 24 hours and 30 minutes sped up half reverse orbit, both totaling 48 hours.
This half orbit should have 30 minutes of more sped up time than 24 hours = 24:30 hours, because the sped up half of fall/winter should have the 30 more minutes of sped up earth = 24 hours and 30 minutes of sped up earth. The exact half orbit must have exactly 30 minutes more than 24 hours of sped up earth. To equal the one hour of the sun moving at or very near the speed of light, two left over minutes of the 24 hours must equal 2 X 30 minutes.
Thus, there would be no net missing time on earth. A clock on earth would not show an hour of elapsed time. A watch from any time before two years before, two years later after the sun returned, would show the exact time of day that would normally be on earth.
Thus, the total of the two fall/winter half reverse orbits must equal 60 minutes, leaving 5 minutes more than the 55 minutes of sun travel at the speed of light after the 360° = a 3 PM sun dial position one hour after the 12 PM darkness start time.
Thus, this five more minutes of 60 minutes = 5/60 X 24 hours = two hours. Then, earth would rotate one hour west over the hour the sun was moved around the earth. And the sun would move a further two more hours west = three hours in total. Thus, a sun dial before would tell the time of noon, 12 PM, and the sun dial after would tell for 3 PM = the ninth hour.
Then there would also be the three more hours on the sun dial before sunset, three hours from the 9th hour at 3 PM to sunset at the 12th hour 6 PM. The sun may move west to east after sunset, rising in the west the following Saturday, Sabbath day, and setting in the east, and it become dark, before suddenly and brilliantly rising in the east. The total net movements would leave no net missing time on earth.
Then Orion that would normally start to appear at 7 PM, after sunset at 6 PM, when Orion would be setting, would instead appear with the stars at 5 PM above. Orion would still set by 8 PM. Earth's rotation has not changed. But the sun would be two hours to the west. Thus, that night when Orion would hardly appear before setting, Orion would be bright in the night sky above when it got dark after sunset, April 3, 33 AD.
Moreover, when the sun was darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross, very likely Orion appeared above when the stars came out. Orion could be a type of Christ.
Orion should appear just to the east of the sun, when the sun was darkened. The stars may not have appeared. But the sun would be darkened so much that the stars, Orion, should appear overhead.
The sun revolving 360° around the earth at noon in a straight line would appear to move up 23° then down 23°. In Hawaii in May my shadow was almost non existent. Thus, this verse of the noon day shadow may describe the movement of the shadow at noon while the sun in its revolution around the earth appears to move up and down.
Likewise for Yao's long day of nine days in 2315 BC or 2325 BC, and emperor Kin's long day of ten days in 1732 BC, the sun may move up and down nine or ten times staying in the same position of the sky for nine or ten days.
This may have been in Azariah's 38th year of his life, in the 18th year of his reign, in 830 BC. Thus, Azariah being 38, the same age as Jesus when he was crucified, the darkness being a type of Christ.
Likewise, Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC. From Joshua's long day in 1241 BC to Azariah in 840 BC are 400 years.
Most likely the battle of Merom was February 4, 1240 BC and king Wans' dream one year later, February 5, 1239 BC.
Also, the lunar days are counted from Virgo day one of the 28 lunar signs. Then, the sun in Virgo in February 5, 1239 BC, and the moon in the sixth lunar mansion, Scorpius. Thus, the six day moon in the first month of spring after sunset. Then, the sun stand still at the sunset position for 12 hours while earth rotates, and now on the other side of earth, earth would flow back into the regular direction of orbit.
King Wan's dream probably was February 5, 1239 BC.
The first lunar day of 28 is Jue in Virgo, Kang in Virgo, Di in Libra, Fang in Scorpius, Xin in Scorpius, and day 6 Wei in Scorpius.
The sixth lunar day is when the moon is above at sunset. If the six day moon is in Scorpius the setting sun is in Virgo. The sun can only be in Virgo in the fall. This was the first month of spring! 180° away.
The best way is to square PI. The area of a quadrant is A X B X PI / 4. For earth's current elliptical orbit: So the shortest distance to the sun is 147,000,000 Kilometers. The longest distance is 153,000,000 K. The distance at the equinox is 149,000,000 K. So 147 X 149 X 3.14159265 / 2 = 34405.151. 153 X 149 X 3.14159265 / 2 = 35809.443. 34405.151 + 35809.443 = 70214.594. 70214.594 / 34405.151 = 2.04081. 2.04081 X 48 / 2 = 24.50 hours = 24:30 hours. The same missing 30 minutes. 48 hours over 365.24 days = 7.9 minutes a day. Then add a day and a half to get to Joshua's Long Day = 1.5 X 8 minutes and we have the missing 40 minutes. 30 + 10 = 40.
The nearest, furthest and half orbit point are not quite the solstices and equinoxes. Thus, the distances above match the dates February 4, 1241 BC, August 10, 1241 BC and February 4, 1240 BC and August 10, 1240 BC and February 5, 1239 BC.
Even so, today the equinoxes match these dates in distances from the sun to what they were on these dates of sun miracles in 1240 BC.
The nearness of the sun is not related to the equinoxes. But the half orbit counts from the equinoxes. Thus, the sun nearest earth on January 3, 2023 = the fall/winter half orbit is the sped up half orbit. Then, the half orbit date from near January 3 or in November / December in 1241 BC are both 182.6 days and are 24 hours and 24 hours both of sped up reverse orbit.
Thus, Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC half orbit starts February 4, 1241 BC = 90 days after the Perihelion of the sun = the nearest of the sun = the sped up 23:30 hours and 24:30 hours = 186.6 days and 178.6 days; if the half orbit is 1.5 days shorter and Joshua's long day August 8, 1241 BC. For Joshua's long day to be on Saturday - 1.5 more days = 188 days from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC to Saturday = Sunday to Saturday are 188 days, August 10, 1241 BC = 23:20 hours and 24:40 hours of sped up orbit = 48 hours total sped up reverse orbit.
Thus, the summer half orbit of 186.5 days today match this first half orbit from the fall of Jericho. Then to add a day and a half give 188 days. "The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes". The long day was 23:20 hours in elapsed time matching the missing time in that half orbit. The long days must add up to 48 hours in both half orbits. Thus, the second half orbit must have 24:40 hours in missing time to add up to 48 hours.
Thus, the 10 degrees added up to 40 minutes and king Wan would see the sunset. the sun stay at sunset and first quarter moon directly overhead, and 12 hours later the sun rise 10 degrees above the western horizon. Thus, king Wan dreamt he was clothed in the sun and the moon.
Possibly these dates may be put forward one month; the fall of Jericho, Saturday, March 16, 1241 BC, Joshua's long day, Friday, September 20, 1241 BC and king Wan's dream on the Chinese six day moon, Tuesday, March 18, 1240 BC.
Then this picture taken noon September 16, 2010 would show the noon day light at the same time of year as at Jesus' birth, about Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC would be our July 31 or August 1.
Nevertheless, Jesus' birth on the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC was the same seventh month as Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, the 21st day of the 7th month, only more than one month later in September.
The six day moon in king Wan's dream could not occur on Saturday March 15 the second day moon unless this was counted from the sixth lunar mansion Scorpius, but lunar day four. Thus, king Wan's dream may be the battle of Merom. But most likely king Wan's dream was one year later, February 5, 1239 BC. The battle of Merom may have been February 4, 1240 BC, and king Wan's dream one year later, on lunar day six, and day six of the seven day week, Friday, February 5, 1239 BC. The day was counted at night fall both in Israel and in China. Thus king Wan's dream, lunar day six, was more likely also week day six, the day in China beginning after dark = Friday, February 5, 1239 BC.
The battle of Merom may have been February 5, 1240 BC and king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Thus, this picture of Gibeon at noon September 16, 2010 AD would equal the sun at noon, September 26, 1241 BC = 47 days earlier = August 1, 2021 AD, near the middle of summer.
Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, day 19 of cycle 60 in China. Normally, the Big Dipper points to Arcturus at 12 PM overhead in August/September.
Nevertheless, Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC and king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC work best.
"Divined on day [18]: (Charge:) the Sun will have a blemish. (Verification:) Indeed there was a blemish. [Heji, 33700]
"Divined on day [18]: (Charge:) the Sun will have a blemish on the west. This is a calamity. (Verification:) Indeed there was a blemish. [Heji, 33704]
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.20.
Joshua's long day on 19 of cycle or 18 of cycle, August 10, 1241 BC = the sun standing still at noon on Israel = on the western horizon on China. Thus, the western sun in China and a calamity of a long sunset of 24 hours.
Also, the sun should return February 4, 1240 BC that is day 18 of cycle 60. The battle of Merom in Joshua 11 and Judges 4, 5, may have been on this date. Perhaps the sun stood still at noon for Joshua and Israel to conquer Jabin and Sisera = the sun standing still at sunset on China for 12 or 24 hours.
Arcturus is bright because it is large and is only 37 light years away. That is, the star burns less brightly than the sun, but because the surface area of Arcturus is so large, the star emits much more light. Arcturus is 115 times larger than the sun, 25 times wider than the sun, and thus would appear brighter than the sun even though the surface of Arcturus is dimmer than the surface of the sun. Arcturus is only 1.5 times the mass of the sun.
Arcturus is the third brightest star seen from earth. Sirius is the brightest star and marked the beginning of the sothis calendar on July 16 for many thousands of years. The new years is on July 16 = 360 days leaving 5 days the dog days of summer from July 16 to July 20. There is no February 29 every four years. The new years the sothis calendar backs up one day every four years.
The Exodus out of Egypt was on the selfsame day as the Sojourn into Egypt. The sojourn in year 430 from 2737 BC, was 430/4 = 107 days back from July 16, on Friday, April 1, 2307 BC, April 3 was the full moon. The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. 365 days - 1460 years. One day shorter July 17 - 1456 years. Back 107 days from July 17 = March 30. The Exodus was at the end of of 1456 years from 2737 BC on the full moon, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = the selfsame day: Friday - April 1 and Friday - March 30.
Joseph became governor over Egypt April 1, 2315 BC at the beginning of the seven years of plenty, 8 years previous of 2307 BC.
Egyptian new years in 2315 BC, 105 days back from July 16, was April 3, the full moon = Jesus' sacrifice on April 3, 33 AD on the full moon. Joseph was 38 years old when Jacob and Israel entered Egypt. Jesus was 38 years old when he went to the cross.
Joseph was 38 when he invited his father and brothers into Egypt in 2307 BC. David was 38 when he became King of all Israel in 1077 BC. Hezekiah was 38 when he was near death and prayed and Isaiah gave him a sign - the sun retreated ten steps, Sunday, March 31, 703 BC, the third day, the day of the Passover - the full moon, = the 49 jubile year to Jesus' sacrifice, the Passover, April 3, 33 AD. Josiah was 38 when he died in battle in 611 BC on year 30 of the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
Jesus was born about September 12, 7 BC and gave his life 38.5 years later April 3, 33 AD.
Normally, Arcturus was near the sun in September 7 BC = setting shortly in the west after the sun, and with the sun being 180° away, Arcturus would be directly overhead Bethlehem in September of 5 BC at midnight when Jesus was two years old.
Arcturus moves 2000 feet south every year. So, when Jesus was born about September 12, 7 BC, Arcturus would pass 4000 feet north of Bethlehem, and in September of 5 BC Arcturus would pass directly over Bethlehem.
Thus, two years later, Arcturus 4000 feet further south, Arcturus would pass directly over Bethlehem at midnight in September, up to September 12 in 5 BC when the wise men followed the star to Joseph and Mary's house where Jesus was at two years old.
You can see Arcturus a little to the upper left of the sun:
Arcturus today is a little to the left of the sun in September 2022:
Arcturus was seen through a telescope in the daytime in 1635; and can be seen with the naked eye at or just before sunset. But Arcturus is invisible beside the noon day sun = September. If the sun is on the other side of earth, Arcturus passes directly overhead at midnight. Thus, the Chinese may have recorded the Big Dipper in this unusual position on Joshua's Long Day in Israel.
he sun may have rose in the west on Joshua's Long Day. Thus, Arcturus would pass over China at midnight as God moved the sun east. Then again during the 24 hours of the longer day China be in darkness and again see Arcturus pass over at night.
Genesis 15:5 "And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."
One of the brightest stars in the sky would be Arcturus.
Genesis 12:4 "So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."
In this 2532 BC when Abraham was 75, Arcturus would be about the 45th latitude. Haran was the 35th latitude. Hebron was the 30th latitude. So, when Abraham at Haran looked up to the north at night, he would see Arcturus. Thousands of years later, about September 12, 7 BC, 2600 years after the birth of Abraham, the wise men would look straight up when they got to Bethlehem and see Arcturus 90° straight up, and then enter the home of Joseph and Mary and worship Jesus when he was two years old.
Noah in Noah's flood in 3307 BC, floating north of the Aral Sea, would see Arcturus directly above at the 50° latitude:
Noah would see Arcturus pass directly above at midnight on the 17th day of the 7th month in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."
The 17th day of the 7th month = August 17, 3307 BC.
Arcturus moves 2,000 feet south a year. The wise men would see the star direclty above, in Persia or China, at midnight in September, when normally Arcturus sets with the sun in September. Thus, these many sun miracles recorded in China for years ending in X07 BC, like the phoenixes that appeared on the Fall equinox, the 17th day of the seventh month, day 57 of cycle 60 October 18, 2607 BC, 50th year from Huangdi's first year in 2756 BC, that this was it, the star of the King of Israel.
Then, in September of 5 BC Arcturus had moved 4000 feet south to exactly the Latitude of the house of Joseph and Mary, and the wise men arriving at the door openned their gifts and fell down and worshiped the child Jesus.
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, beside the mountains of Ararat."
Some of the descendants of Noah may have migrated east to China and told the Chinese about Noah's flood. And again, this 17th day of the seventh month was 3307 BC, again was X07 BC years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 15:12 "And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;"
"when the sun was going down" may refer to a sun miracle. God may have moved the sun around the earth at the speed of light for one hour like the dakness when Jesus was on the cross from the sixth hour = noon time. Thus the sun go down = the sun go around the earth.
Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Mark 15:33 "And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Luke 23:44 "Now it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness fell upon the whole earth and lasted until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was obscured, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."
"an horror of great darkness" may refer to a night X seven = 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, longer night.
Arcturus would pass directly over head in September because the sun would have moved to the other side of earth September 12, 7 BC. The wisemen who saw the star, must have seen Arcturus. Then for the wisemen to know where Jesus would be born, they would need a plumb line. There are drawings of this plumbline used at this time. Jesus is the plumbline because he never touched the earth, and was in line with Heaven.
Emperor Yao employed He and Ho to determine the four seasons after the sun stood still for ten days moving to the other side of earth, and earth in a reverse orbit needed new stars to mark the four seasons for agriculture. Then the four stars that would culminate, appear directly above, on the equinoxes and solstices at the 30th latitude of Hunan, using a jade spotting tube, in 2315 BC.
Then 2308 years later in 7 BC, perhaps Chinese astronomers came to know the King of the Jews would be born in Israel because of all the sun miracles pointing to September of 7 BC.
That is, the 17th day of the seventh month = the phoenixes at the birth of Abraham in October 18, 2607 BC = the 57 day of cycle 60, in Huangdi's 50th year from 2656 BC, in autumn = the fall equinox.
Likewise, the Chinese made a new emperor in 7 BC, possibly at Jesus' birth, and possibly at a sun miracle, and possibly when the wisemen departed for Israel to worship the King of the Jews. And possibly the sun was moved to the other side of earh September 12, 7 BC, and Arcturus rise in the east at sunset instead of set in the west with the sun at sunset. And Arcturus be "we have seen his star in the east" = Arcturus in the east.
"the star in the east" that appeared two years previous cannot be a comet that lasts three or four months, or a supernova that also lasts less than a year, or a planet that would keep over Bethlehem for two years.
The star Arcturus that would appear over Bethlehem at midnight in September after the sun moved to the other side of the earth in September 12, 7 BC = would still pass directly over Bethlehem in September of 5 BC = earth still in a reverse orbit of the sun.
The Chinese astronomers may have started on their journey immediately, arriving in Jerusalem two years later, in early September of 5 BC to ask how much further south to travel. Having received their answer Jesus would be born in Bethlehem, they would journey four more miles south to look for Arcturus to culminate directly above Bethlehem and above Joseph and Mary, in September of 5 BC.
The wisemen were travelling south. They stopped at Jerusalem to ask where the Christ would be born. They then travelled five more miles to Bethlehem. Likewise, Jacob was travelling south from Bethel to Ephrath Bethlehem, where Benjamin was born, and Rachel died.
Rachel died and Benjamin born 2336 BC or 2333 BC. Benjamin would be 8 years old, 9 years younger than his brother Joseph, when his brothers sold Joseph into Egypt. 2336 BC was a keatze year in China, year one of cycle sixty from 2636 BC.
Abraham died in 2432 BC, 100 years later is Benjamin born about 2332 BC.
Back from 2331 BC the 38 years of Jesus' life is 2369 BC. From 2368 BC are 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Likewise, 2369 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice. Likewise, Isaac born in 2507 BC, when Abraham born in 2607 BC, was 138 years old, 100 years + the 38 years of Jesus' life, in 2369 BC.
Likewise, Jacob was 70 years old in 2369 BC.
Benjamin may have been considered for the lineage of Jesus, thus Saul was chosen King.
Matthew 2:7 "Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared."
The time God moved the sun to the other side of the earth in September of 7 BC, the star Arcturus would rise in the east at sunset instead of set in the west with the sun. Arcturus would thus pass overhead at midnight in September. Thus Herod "enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared."
Matthew 2:16 "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."
All scripture points to Jesus.
Job 39:2 "Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?"
Genesis 35:16 "And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour."
Genesis 35:18 "And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin."
Arcturus is at 19° north of the equator. The pole star, Thuban, at the time of Senemut's and Pharaoh Seti I's celestial ceiling, 1400 BC was at the third star in the handle of the Big Dipper. Because of the precession of the equinoxes the pole star = north pole axis, has moved. The pole star now in 2000 AD is more than 10° above the lip of the Big Dipper and has moved more than 20° since 1360 BC. Then, in this September of 5 BC, Arcturus should be more than 10° further north = 13° plus the 19° it is now = 32° and pass directly over Bethlehem.
Earth's axis has moved 30 feet or 10 meters, in the last 120 years.
Every family in Scotland was required to have a Geneva Bible. The puritans and their descendants used the Geneva Bible until the 1700's.
The Geneva Bible:
From the Geneva Bible 1594 AD:
From the Geneva Bible: Bethlehem: Longitude 65:55 Latitude 31:51
The latitude of Bethlehem, Israel is 31.705791, and the longitude is 35.200657. gps coordinates of 31° 42' 20.8476'' N and 35° 12' 2.3652'' E.
Thus from 31:51 to 31:42 is .1 X 70 miles = 7 miles difference. Perhaps Bethlehem was 7 miles further north in 1594 AD, or the measurement in the Geneva Bible in 1594 was not accurate.
Note the longitude was 65° not 35°. The prime meridian did not yet go through Greenwich England at that time. The longitude was counted from the middle of the Atlantic, 30° further west. Thus, 30° in the Atlantic, plus 35° = 65°.
See Prime Meridian - History. Wikipedia.
Thus, the calculation even back in 1594 AD in this Geneva Bible was fairly accurate. Thus, the wisemen in their day could also be very accurate too.
The polar axis shifts about five inches a year.
"Earth has tilted 31.5 inches in less than two decades."
So, this 425 years ago Bethlehem would be at a slightly different latitude, perhaps a hundred meters different. Then 2000 years ago, Bethlehem may have been a kilometer different latitude.
Nevertheless, this shift of five inches may not continue in one direction, and may not be consistent. Our latitudes today may not be all that different than they were 2,000 years ago.
The US/Canadian border on the 49th parallel is not now on the 49th parallel, but the 49th parallel is some 30 feet further south since the map was drawn up one hundred years ago. The melting of the ice sheild of Greenland is one of the causes.
Also, the tectonic plates of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East move, perhaps an inch or more, every year. Over 2000 years, even inches add up. The Arabian plate is moving north. So Bethlehem must have been perhaps a hundred feet further south when Jesus was born. This makes it easier for Arcturus to pass directly overhead of Bethlehem when Jesus was born.
Arcturus is moving 2000 feet south a year as well.
Planetarium software shows Arcturus at 89° or simply 90° above Bethlehem, or 4000 feet north of Bethelehm, at midnight in March of 7 BC. Thus, if God moved the sun to the other side of earth when Jesus was born probably September 12, 7 BC: Arcturus would pass directly, 90°, above Bethlehem two years later. Thus in two years of earth's reverse orbit, Arcturus would pass directly above Bethlehem when the wise men followed the star.
The wise men came to Jerusalem to ask where Jesus would be born. Upon hearing it was in Bethlehem, the wise men may use a quadrant with a plumb line to locate Arcturus directly above, and come to the house of Joseph and Mary when Jesus was almost two years old, about a few weeks before the sun returned again September 15, 5 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit.
Here you see Arcturus where it is now. Note that it is at 19° Dec (Topocentric) = 10° further south than it was 2000 years ago in 5 BC; because of the precession of the equinoxes.
Here you see Arcturus at 29:29 degrees in 5 BC = 29:29° Dec (Topocentric). Bethlehem was at about 30° latitude. Thus, straight up from 30° is 90° is Arcturus at the time of Jesus' birth.
You can see Thuban is just above the handle of the Big Dipper. Thus, in the time of Christ, the polar axis would be between Thuban and Polaris. Below you see Thuban in the center of the circle of the polar axis 1400 BC:
Year zero is today. Here you see the pole position is Thuban at the middle of the circle 3000 years ago in 1000 BC:
Here you can see Thuban, the pole star in 1000 BC:
When god moved the sun to the other side of earth, He can either move the sun up or down to keep earth in the same season, or shift earth's axis to point to any of these stars in this circum polar circle in forward or backward precession.
Here you can see the relative movement of Arcturus over the millenia. You can see Arcturus moved down from 2000 BC = to the present in 4000 years. Arcturus would be directly over Bethlehem 2000 years ago.
Sky and Telescope
Arcturus moving from 32° to 19° = 13°. The sun and moon are 4° across. Thus, Arcturus has moved south 3 times the width of the sun or moon from this 32° latitude in 5 BC.
Job 38:32 "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"
For Arcturus to be foreseen to pass directly over Bethlehem, means the whole galaxy had to have been made with the purpose to point to Jesus. Even sun miracles from the beginning of recorded time, from the Armenian Sothis calendar, from the appearing of the star Sirius at dawn both from 5368 BC 1460 years from 6828 BC 1460 years from 8288 BC; - 39 years of Jesus' life + 32 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 169 X 49 year jubiles.
Creating the galaxy, the near side of our Milky Way galaxy, includes creating the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and Orion, and the seven stars of Pleiades too.
Both Arcturus and Sirius must have been created to point to Jesus.
The Armenian Sothis = Sirius, calendar began the appearing of Sirius at 4 AM 5368 BC = 5400 year to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, and 1461 years later on 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC..
For Arcturus to pass directly over Bethlehem, the house of Joseph and Mary, when Jesus was two years old in September of 5 BC, the star Arcturus must continue to pass 2,000 feet south a year to exactly match the house of Joseph and Mary, and Jesus.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Translated:
Job 38:31 "of the Pleiades, or you open the fence of Orion?
38:32 you undo the Evening Star? with his sons?
38:33 the clouds.."
In September Arcturus sets as the evening star with the sun. To undo the evening star would be to make it rise in the east at sunset, not set in the west at sunset, by moving the sun to the other side of the earth..
For Arcturus to pass directly over Bethlehem at midnight in September of 7 BC or rather 5 BC; the star must be moved to fit earth's precession of the equinoxes. That is Arcturus must move to exactly and timely pass directly over the house of Joseph and Mary and Jesus in September of 5 BC. Arcturus probably was already in motion to match this Bethlehem transit, but God probably guided Arcturus exactly.
Likewise, when earth was in a reverse orbit Arcturus would be the evening star in March/April on the Passover. Perhaps earth was in a reverse orbit during Jesus' ministry. Then Arcturus would have been the evening star that Friday night, April 3, 33 AD when Jesus was on the cross. Normally Arcturus would pass directly above Israel at midnight on the Passover.
And perhaps this specific time of Jesus' birth was planned thousands of years before. Such as from Adam in 4668 BC and the beginning of the Armenian Sothis calendar in 5368 BC = both 4700 years before Jesus' sacrifice, and 5400 years before Jesus' sacrifice. One sothis cycle later, 5368 BC - 1461 years = 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
One sothis cycle back from 5368 BC - 1461 years = 6829 BC. 38.5 years back is 6868 BC that is 6900 years before Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Also, When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, earth would be guided in the reverse orbit and Arcturus pass overhead. The sun must be moved to the other side of the earth for Arcturus to pass directly overhead at midnight in September.
Arcturus is in the constellation of the Herdsman, Bootes. Arcturus is pictured as the loins of the Herdsman. Thus, Jesus born in the sheep's breeding season of September.
Luke 12:35 "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;"
Numbers 24:17 "I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,"
Thus a star out of Jacob the shepherd = Bootes.
Perhaps the 89° given in a old planetarium software, Dance of the Planets, for Arcturus above Bethlehem did not include this small movement of Arcturus. And even if it did, and the movement of Arcturus projected back to the time of Christ, we still do not know where the star was 2000 years ago because there were no accurate measurements made and recorded back then. And if God moved the star, we are no more the wiser.
This movement of Arcturus was in the direction to make the 89° to be 90° above Bethlehem. Thus, either way, by rounding error or inaccurate plotting of Arcturus' movement, Arcturus most probably was directly above Bethlehem when Jesus was born, or rather two years later when the wise men came to Bethlehem to look for the King of the Jews.
Arcturus may have passed directly over Jerusalem when Herod began rebuilding the temple in 18 BC. Then the sun move to the other side of earth September 12, 7 BC, and two years later in September of 5 BC Arcturus pass over Bethlehem where the wise men found Jesus.
Arcturus is 37 light years away. Then, the light that left Arcturus at Jesus' birth would only just reach earth just before Jesus was crucified.
Amos 7:8 "And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:"
2 Kings 21:13 "And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down."
Isaiah 28:17 "Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place."
Zechariah 4:10 "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."
Sun miracles often point to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, life of 38 years, and sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD, many times over many thousands of years. The 49 year jubile from 5358 BC 110 X 49 to 33 AD, and from Adam in year 700, 4672 BC = 96 X 49; all the way to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From 4672 BC are 94 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Matthew 26:53 "Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
Mark 14:49 "I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled."
"historians generally agree the only historical accurate part of the Old Testament comes after the death of Moses, because historians have no historical evidence of Adam, Noah and Abraham, etc, but they do know that a kingdom was established around the time of King David."
The Bible Doesn't Say That, p.41
Creation began when Adam was born. Thus, the counting of the jubiles begin also from when Adam was born.
Romans 15:4 "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
Creation was at the Big Bang 13.8 Billion years ago. The year of the world, Annos Mundi, counted from 5368 BC.
The year of the world, Annos Mundi, began the count to Adam in year 700. Thus, the year of the world, AM, was 5368 BC = 1461 years before the new sothis cycle in 3907 BC; 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacifice, 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth.
49 year jubiles from Adam in year 700 in the Septuagint, 4672 BC or 50 year jubiles from 4668 BC = 4700 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, or from 4672 BC = 4700 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Noah from the 27th jubile 5 weeks sixth year = 1364 years from 4672 BC = 3307 BC = Noah's 600th year from the beginning of the Armenian Sothis cycle in 3907 BC = 3307 BC = 3300 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Abraham born in 2607 BC in Ur = Abraham Y-DNA J1e descendants from Ur from 2607 BC, as is Jacob Y-DNA J1 from 2300 BC Jacob entering into Egypt. Jacob was born in 2437 BC = 130 years old when Pharaoh asked his age, in 2307 BC. Thus, the date + 150 years or - 150 years at 2300 BC was back 137 years. Thus, Jacob was born 13 years within this + 150 year earlier than 2300 BC estimation, and Jacob entered Egypt in this 2307 BC.
The city of Ur began about 3000 BC.
All the ages of the patriarchs, also, are all accurate. Sun miracles from the birth of Abraham in 2607 BC in China = Huangdi's 50th year, accurately back up the Bible. The whole Bible is accurate.
49 year jubiles from 1241 BC - the year of Joshua's long day, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Also, dates ending with 07 point to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC and dates ending 45 point to Jesus' life of 38 years; 45 BC to 7 BC. Years ending in 68 are even 100 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
49 X 49 year jubiles from 2369 BC, 2401 years, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, and 50 year jubiles from Adam in Armenian sothis year 800 = 4568 BC where was the 44th jubile 44 X 50 from 4568 BC = 2368 BC or 44 X 49 + 44 years also = 2368 BC = Jacob at 70; that also equals 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. There are two dates for Adam, year 700 in the Septuagint and year 800 in the Hebrew. Thus, here year 800 for Adam was used.
47 X 49 = 2303 years. From Adam in 4672 BC - 2303 years = 2369 BC. The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. Thus Adam from 4672 BC or from 4668 BC. 4672 BC in 50 year jubiles points to the beginning of Jesus' ministry in September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
4668 BC in 50 year jubiles points to Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD.
From Adam in 4672 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD are 96 X 49 years. Thus, from Adam to Jesus' sacrifice are 96 jubiles.
The King James Version uses the word jubile not jubilee. There is a difference. In Hebrew, the jubile year is called the "yovel year" = a ram = a trumpet. By coincedence the Latin "jubil" sounds like Hebrew "yobel". Thus, the connection is only phonetically to yobel and only means yobel = ram's horn, and not jubilee.
Yobel: a blowing of a trumpet as in a battle cry, rejoicing.
The year of release better matches "yobel" trumpet.
Jobelaeus is a very different word from Jubilo.
This Italian Bible uses the word Giubileo and there also is a Greek word that is pronounced Jubilee too. Thus, phonetically translated Jubilee in Italian and Greek. But the Hebrew Yobel is not the similar sounding Jubilee.
"annus jubileus" for the 100 years by Pope Boniface VIII in 1300 AD. Thus, the Italian word Giubileo for jubilee. The Latin Jobelaeus is different than the Latin Jubileus = the Italian Giubileo.
Jobelaeus and Jubilee are two different words and two different meanings, the yobel year and to be jubilant.
Thus, the Latin Jobelaeus simply sounds phonetically like the Hebrew Yobel for a ram's horn.
Thus, Jobelaeus has no Latin meaning, it is simply the phonetical sound of the Hebrew word Yobel.
Leviticus 25:9 "Then shalt thou cause the trumpetH7782 of the jubileH8643 to soundH5674 on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of AtonementH3725 shall ye make the trumpetH7782 soundH5674 throughout all your land.
25:10 And ye shall hallowH6942 (H853) the fiftiethH2572 year, and proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubileH3104 unto you; and ye shall returnH7725 every man unto his possession, and ye shall returnH7725 every man unto his family."
Thus liberty H1865 is the meaning.
Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken."
Leviticus 25:10 "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim libertyH1865 throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubileH3104 unto you; and ye shall returnH7725 every man unto his possession, and ye shall returnH7725 every man unto his family."
jubileH3104 is Yobel in Hebrew for a ram's horn. Thus, the Latin Jobelaeus is phonetically from the Hebrew word Yobel.
La Bibbia
"Quest' anno portera il nome di Giubileo" = this year will bear, will bring, the name Jubilee.
Acts 2:19 "And I will shew wondersG5059 in heavenG3772 above,G507 and signsG4592 in the earthG1093 beneath;G2736 blood,G129 and fire,G4442 and vapourG822 of smoke:G2586"
wondersG5059 is much the same word as the jubile, portent, omen, and is the actual fulfillmet of the jubile from the beginning of the Bible when Jesus was on the cross and the sun was darkened for three hours.
The note in the Greek Septuagint the Greek word for jubile in Leviticus 25:10 is a "manifestation" "indication" and not the Greek word for jubile that is pronounced jubile.

The modern Greek for jubilee is the modern English meaning and pronounciation.
Leviticus 25:10 "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
Leviticus 25:10 "And ye shall sanctify the year, the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go to each family."
Thus, the word "liberty" in the Greek is jubilee, as is "it shall be a jubilee"
Thus you can see the same Greek word used for the Jubilee in Leviticus 25 is used in the Greek Luke 4:18 when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 and fulfilled the jubile.

Luke 4 in Greek:
The Interlinear Bible
You can see the Greek for Isaiah 61 is almost identical to the Greek for Luke 4:
You can see the footnote above to Luke 4:18.
Jesus would read the Hebrew version of Isaiah 61, the word for liberty H1865:
Here you see the Hebrew version of Isaiah 61 in the Aleppo Codex, 930 AD. The Isaiah Dead Sea Scroll ends with chapter 55.
The Aleppo Codex was written in Tiberius near the village of Nazareth of Jesus by Ben Ashur. Jesus probably read from a scroll in script like the Dead Sea Scrolls. There are three or four complete copies of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but the one copy of Isaiah that is online ends by Isaiah 55.
Thus, you can see the Greek word for release of debt for the Hebrew Yovel that in turn was called the Jubilee.
John Wycliffe, when he wrote the English Bible in 1380, was the first to call the yovel year, the 50th year, a jubilee.
He changed the word "iobeleus" in the Latin Vulgate to be jubilee.
The King James version gives jubile is different from jubilee.
Likewise, the William Tyndale New Testament, the first English printed bible from 1526, the word "liberty" Luke 4:18. "sett att liberte".
The Latin jobelaeus for the Hebrew yovel was changed to jubilaeus due to the similar sounding Latin verb jubilare to shout for joy.
The Latin Vulgate has the word iobeleus = jobeleus = year of the jubilee among Jews; (slaves freed and property reverts); 50th year. Jerome translated the Bible from the Hebrew into Latin in 382 AD.
In the Latin definition, for Jubilee is Jubilo = shout/sing out/joyfully, rejoice, invoke with/let out shouts/whoops, halloo.
Nevertheless, in the Latin Vulgate the word is jobelaeus phonetically from Yobel a ram's horn.
From Josephus:
The fulfillment of the jubile was the beginning of Jesus' ministry, thus the real meaning of the jubile.
Isaiah 61:1 'The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."
Back 110 X 49 year jubiles from Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD, to 5358 BC. Joseph and Joshua lived to 110 years, perhaps a parallel. Thus, there is a ten year gap from the 49 year jubile from the beginning Armenian Sothis calendar from 5368 BC instead ten years more recent from 5358 BC. Both the 49 year jubile and the 50 year jubile work from 4672 BC = Adam in Sothis year 700, in 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. And in 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
From the beginning of the sothis cycle 5368 BC = 5400 years = 108 X 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. So the date year 700 from one day earlier is four years further back; year 700 in 4668 BC may instead be 4672 BC. The sothis calendar may have started one day earlier. Then instead of a sothis cycle of 1460 years, the sothis cylcle from 5372 BC to 3907 BC be 1464 years. A sothis calendar backs up four years every one day = like our February 29 and our 365.25 year.
Noah's flood counting from Adam in year 700; 4672 BC to 3307 BC.
Adam's birth year in Genesis is year 800, 4568 BC from 5368 BC. However, in the Septuagint in Genesis Adam's birth is in year 700 = 4672 BC from 5368 BC.
Adam's death in Armenian Sothis year 930 = the same 930 years in the Hebrew and the Septuagint = (19 X 49) from 5358 BC.
Saturday, April 2, 4437 BC was the full moon. Jesus went to the cross Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Sunday, May 31, 4437 BC was the full moon. 4437 / 128 = 35 days = March 27. The exodus on the Passover was on March 30, 1281 BC; 1281 BC / 128 years = 10 days = the spring equinox March 20 today.
The lunar day matches the calendar every 19 years. 19 X 49 = 931 years. Thus, the Passover in 4437 BC; 5368 BC - 931 years, or 931 years from 5358 BC is 4427 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = when Adam died = the Passover when Jesus gave his sacrifice. Thus, to begin this calendar on the Passover in 5368 BC = 5400 years to the Passover when Jesus gave his life, April 3, 33 AD.
From Adam in year 700 in 4672 BC are 96 X 49 year jubiles. Adam in year 931 from 5368 BC = 4437 BC. Thus, a ten year correction to the 49 year jubile to count not from 5368 BC but from 5358 BC. 931 years back from 5372 BC = 4441 BC = 4400 years to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC. One day sothis baks up in four years, beginning from either 5368 BC or 5372 BC.
Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:"
Genesis 5:5 "And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."
In the Septuagint;
Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:"
Adam lived 230 years from 4668 BC to 4438 BC.
"the first that was buried in the ground. And he was seventy years short of one thousand years. For a thousand years are one day in the testimony of Heaven. Therefore it is written about the tree of knowledge: 'For on the day you eat from it you shall die.' Therefore he did not complete the years of that day because he died during it. At the conclusion of this jubilee."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 11Qjub.
Adam at year 931 from Amenian sothis year 5368 BC. 19 X 49 jubiles = 931 years. Thus Adam died on the 49 year jubile. From 5358 BC are 110 X 49 jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice. From 5368 BC are 108 X 50 jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
Adam died 69 years short of 1000 years. That is, 69 years short of year 1000 from the beginning of the Armenian sothis cycle.
Adam lived 130 years in the Hebrew Masoretic text and 230 in the Greek Septuagint text. Thus, Adam died 70 years short of 200 years or 70 years short of 300 years. From 5368 BC 1000 years are 4568 BC = 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Jacob was born in Isaac's 69th year. Enoch was recorded in year 300 = 3607 BC from 3907 BC.
The calendar backs up one day in the process of backing up one day every four years. 4 X 365 = 1460 years including this cycle is also one day. From 5368 BC 1461 years = 3907 BC.
"And at the close of the 19th jublile, in the seventh week, the sixth year, Adam died."
The Ancient Book of the Jubilees, p.26.
19 X 49 = 931 years; + 7 + 5 from 5372 BC = 4429 BC. 5358 BC - 930 years = 4429 BC also.
1000 years in duodecimal, base 12 not base 10, = 12 X 12 X 10 = 1440 years, 20 more years is 1460 = a sothis cycle.
From Adam's death in 931 AM is 69 years to 1000 years = a 49 year jubile and again 20 more years to 1000 Annos Mundi = year of the world = from 5368 BC.
In this 2023 AD = year of the world 7390 = 5368 BC + 2023.

From 2607 BC - 172 = 2435 BC = 2237 years from 4672 BC = 45 X 49 = 2205 years + 32 years. "the sixth year, seventh week" may equal 32 years. 4 weeks and sixth year = 28 + 5 = 33 years.
From Adam in 4568 BC; 43 X 49 + 3 X 7 + 5(sixth year) 2133 years = 2435 BC.
"Jacob's wife Leah died in the fourth year of the second week in the forty-fifth jubile."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 4Q223-224.
45 X 50 year jubiles = 2250 + 4 + (2 X 7) = 2268 years, from 4568 BC = 2300 BC = the last year of the seven years of famine from 2308 BC.
Counting 46 jubiles instead of 45 jubiles:
From Adam in 4568 BC; 46 X 49 years + 7 + 4 = 2265: 4568 BC - 2265 years = 2303 BC = the last year of famine in Egypt, the seventh year from 2308 BC.
Either there were 45 X 50 year jubiles, or there were 46 X 49 year jubiles or Leah died before Joseph was born in 2345 BC = 38 years of Jesus' life to Jacob and his sons coming into Egypt in the second year of famine, 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
From 5358 BC, continuing to Jesus' sacrifice, are 110 X 49 years to 33 AD.
From 5368 BC, continuing to Jesus' sacrifice, are 108 X 50 years to 33 AD.
A sothis cycle means the calendar backs up one day every four years = 365 days in 1460 years or counting the current cycle of one year, in 1461 years. The Armenian sothis cycle ended not in 552 AD, but was 76 years earlier in 476 AD, or 474 AD, just as the Egyptian sothis calendar was 76 years earlier: Pharaoh Merneptah died, not in 1205 BC but in at the end of the Egyptian Sothis cycle 1281 BC.
The Acacian schizm between Rome and Contantinople was about this 476 AD.
"476 AD was the year of the last Roman Emperor based in Rome itself, Romulus Augustulus. After this, the western half of the Roman world was divided up among barbarian rulers."
Byzantanium, The Surprising LIfe of a Medieval Empire, The East Roman Empire, p.24
Thus, the Armenian Sothis calendar ended in this 476 AD at the division of the Roman Empire.
When Constantine convened the Catholic church to decide on a rule for when Easter would fall, there was a division. Part followed Paul and part followed the Apostles. Thus, Ukranian Christmas is January 7. Then in 552 AD the Roman church split from the eastern church which was supposed to be the end of the Armenian sothis calendar. Like the Egyptian Sothis calendar they too were out by 76 years. Moving both calendars back 76 years matches all recorded dates.
There is a 10 years difference from the beginning of the the Armenian sothis calendar, 49 year jubiles from 5358 BC, but the sothis calendar beginning should be 5372 BC or 5368 BC: Back 1460 years from 474 AD, 988 BC, 2448 BC, 3907 BC = 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Or back 1464 years from 3907 BC to 5372 BC and 5400 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
The 49 years jubilees were counted from 5358 BC, 10 years later.
So a difference from the beginning, from 5368 BC and 5358 BC.
"And Noah made the ark..in the twenty-seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week, in the fifth year" "and entered the ark in the sixth year."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.30.
From the Septuagint three verses:
Genesis 6:3 "And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years and he begat a son after his own form, and after his own image, and he called his name Seth.
6:4 And the days of Adam, which he lived after his begetting of Seth, were seven hundred years; and he begat sons and daughters.
6:5 And all the days of Adam which he lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died."
In 120 years the sothis calendar backs up 30 days = one month.
Counting to Noah's flood from Adam in year 700 Armenian Sothis from 5368 BC = 4668 BC to 3307 BC are 27 jubilees + 5 X 7 + 4 = 3307 BC. To be exact from 4670 BC or 4672 BC - 1323 - 35 - 5 = 3307 BC.
700 years after Adam was 60, about when Seth may be born, in year 760 = 1460 years, a complete sothis cycle from 5368 BC to 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Year 760 of Adam from 4668 BC would be 4608 BC = 100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
(27 X 49) + (5 X 7) = 4 (5th year) = 1323 + 35 + 4; from Adam - this year 700 in the Septuagint - in 4668 BC - 1361 = 3307 BC. Or more accurately from 4671 BC - (27 X 49) + (5 X 7) + 6 = 3307 BC.
From year 700 to the next cycle year 600 (700 - 600 = 100) = 1460 - 100 = 1360. 1323 + 35 = 1358; fourth year = 1361 = 3307 BC.
14 X 49 = 686 years. 5358 BC - 686 - 1323 - 35 - 6 = 3307 BC.
The sothis new year backed up one day every four years. So, in year 600 of Noah entering the ark, the new year had backed up to February 11, 3307 BC from July 11, 3907 BC. This should be the fifth year, only now was February 11 and began the new year and thus the sixth year.
Thus 27 X 49 + 38 = 1323 + 38 = 1361 + 3307 BC = 4668 BC = year 700 with Adam. The 38 more years = the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Lamech was 182 in 3312 BC. Back 38 years from 3307 BC is 3345 BC, the 38 years of Jesus' life in reverse like 45 BC to 7 BC. Then Lamech would be 147 years old in this 3345 BC = the age of Jacob and also = 3 X 49 year jubiles = 147 years. Joseph born in 2345 BC and Jacob entering Egypt in 2307 BC at 130 years of age and living 17 more years to 147 years old.
182 years back from 3312 BC = 3494 BC. 3496 BC was the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice = 72 X 49 years = 3528 years = 3496 BC + 32 years.
Then the 49 year jubile in 3349 BC = 37 more years for Lamech = the 38 years of Jesus' life.
3300 BC was a 49 year jubile. 7 more years from Noah's flood in 3307 BC to this 3300 BC was a 49 year jubile from 5358 BC. 3307 BC was a seventh year sabbath year - year 42 = 6 X 7.
"And in the seventh week (Pentecost) in the first year thereof, in this jubile, 3300 BC, Noah planted vines"
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.37.
Thus, was counted correctly recorded the 49 year jubile from 5358 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"[And Jacob left Beersheba to go] to Haran in the first year [of the second week of the forty-fourth jubilee].[on the first (day) of the first month of this week].. and spent the night there because the sun had set."
10 Jubilees, 1Q 17, Jub 27:19-21, The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition. Volume I. p.25.
"And he went up from thence to the Well of the Oath in the first year of the first week in the forty-fourth jubilee [2108 AM]. And the Lord appeared to him that night, on the new moon of the first month, and said unto him: "I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and shall bless thee and shall surely multiply thy seed as the sand of the earth.."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.93.
4568 BC - 2156 years (44 X 49) = 2412 BC; when Isaac was 95 years old. The first week may = 2407 BC when Isaac was 100. That is, the 44th jubilee is not 2108 years = 43 X 49 but 44 X 49 = 2157 years.
Abraham went to offer up Isaac when Isaac was 38 years old = his mother Sarah 127 years old = Abraham 139 years old from 2607 BC = 2468 BC = the 49 year jubile = 51 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 2500 years from 2468 BC to April 3, 33 AD = 50 X 50 year jubiles to April 3, 33 AD.
You can see the full moon and future Passover, Thursday, April 12, 2468 BC. 2468 BC / 128 = 19. Back 19 days from April 12 = March 26 Gregorian the spring equinox on March 21 Gregorian. The Julian years 365.25. The Gregorian 365.24 years. Before Christ, BC, we use the Julian calendar. After Jesus birth, from the year of our Lord, AD, Annos Deos, we use the Gregorian calendar.
2418 BC was the 49 year jubile when Isaac was 90 years old. Years X18 BC point to Jesus' sacrifice in 50 year jubiles to April 3, 33 AD.
2407 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 25:26 "And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them."
From 2507 BC Isaac was 60 in 2447 BC. There are 40 years to this 2407 BC like the 38.5 years of Jesus' life.
The Armenian Sothis cycle began again in 2447 BC = 1460 years back to 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC and 1460 years ahead to 987 BC = the death of Rehoboam King of Judah.
Most likely Isaac was 69 years old when Jacob was born in 2438 BC, the number 9 being ommitted.
Genesis 28:11 "And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it."
Genesis 28:18 "And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it."
"the sun was set" may mean the sun was set in the east. "rose up early" may mean the sun rose suddenly in the east.
Genesis 28:20 "And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:"
This is the well of the oath.
John 4:12 "Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?"
Luke 24:1 "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them."
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."
Psalm 112:4 "Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."
Psalm 37:6 "And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."
Psalm 27:1 A Psalm of David. "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
The first month = the month of the Passover - the second week = the 14th day of the first month = the day of the Passover. The first day of the week is Sunday. Jesus' resurrection was the first day of the week, just after the Passover.
The 50 year jubile may have been meant, the 44th 50 year jubile from Adam in the Armenian sothis year 800, 4568 BC to 2368 BC when Jacob at 70 left Beersheba to go to Haran.
Or the 49 year jubile; 44 X 49 + 44 years; that is, the 44th year may have been omitted because it was thought to be a typo: 44 44.
Then 44 X 49 + 44 years to 2468 BC. 44 X 50 years to 2468 BC. From 2468 BC are 50 X 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From 2468 BC are 51 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Abraham born 2607 BC, Isaac born 2507 BC, Jacob born when Isaac was 69 (not 60) 2438 BC, Jacob was 70 in 2368 BC. Are all 50 jubiles to Jesus' birth in 7 BC and Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD.
"And in the middle of the sixth month the Lord visited Sarah and did unto her as He had spoken and she conceived. And she bare a son in the third month, and in the middle of the month, at the time of which the Lord had spoken to Abraham, on the festival of the first fruits of the harvest [Pentecoste], Isaac was born."
Ancient Book of Jubilees.p.70.
June 13, 2507 BC, would be the day of Pentecost.
Genesis 17:1 "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect."
Genesis 17:21 "But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."
"this set time" be from Abraham's birthday when he was 99, the 17th day of the 7th month, October 18, 2607 BC; Isaac be born the next year at the in-gathering of fruits the 17th day of the 7th month, or if the following account is true, at Pentecost in 2507 BC.
"And she bare a son in the third month and in the middle of the month, at the time of which the Lord had spoken to Abraham, on the festival of the first-fruits of the harvest [Pentecost], Isaac was born.
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.70.
Thus, both 2368 BC is 50 year jubiles 44 X 50 from Adam in 4668 BC to 2368 BC and from 2368 BC 48 X 50 to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; and from 2369 BC are 49 X 49 year jubiles, 2401 years, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, also there are many 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. The new Armenian sothis cycle in 3907 BC, Noah's flood in 3307 BC, Abraham's birth in 2607 BC, Isaac's birth in 2507 BC, Jacob entering Egypt for the sojourn in 2307 BC to name a few.
From the beginning of the Armenian Sothis calendar in 5368 BC, backing up 10 years to 5358 BC, are 110 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
From Adam's birth in the Armenian Sothis calendar year 700 = 4668 BC: "the 27th jubile, the fifth week, the fifth year = (27 X 49) + (5 X 7) + 4 years = 1365 years to Noah's flood in 3307 BC; the fifth year from Armenian Sothis year 595 = the death of Lamech, to Armenian Sothis year 600 = the flood.
27 X 50 jubiles = 3350 years. 4668 BC - 3350 years = 3307 BC = year 600 Armenian sothis = 3300 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Then, from Jacob's 70th year in 2369 BC, would equal the 45th 49 year jubile, 44th 50 year jubile, from Adam in year 800 = 4568 BC, all the way, 49 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
From Jacob in this his 70th year, 2369 BC, are 49 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. This 44th 49 year jubile plus 44 years is 5 years short 49 years. However, from this 2369 BC are 49 X 49 jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice.
Jacob was 70 when he left Haran = 2368 BC = when Jacob dreamed he saw a ladder from earth to Heaven. Jacob lived to be 147 years old. Then Jacob lived 2 X 38.5 more years from 70 to 147 years. Jesus lived 38.5 years from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD. Or 38 years and 200 days.
2 X 7000 + 12 X 7 + 1 = 14,085 days of Jesus' life from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD. 38.5 years is half of 77 years.
"the sun had set" may refer to a sun miracle to point to this date the second week of the first month = the Passover = from Adam 4568 BC = 4600 years, and from 2368 BC = 2400 years, to Jesus' sacrifice.
"And he went out from him rejoicing.. in the first week of the forty-third jubile in its second year, which is the year Abraham died, Isaac and Ishmael came.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, volume 1. p.469. 4Q219.
Hebrews 11:8 "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:"
Genesis 35:27 "And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
35:28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years."
Joseph was 17 when his grandfather Isaac was 180 years old. Isaac was 69 when he had Jacob, not 60. Thus, Jacob was six, not 15, when Abraham died. Thus, Jacob was 70 when he dreamed of the ladder to Heaven, the same 69 years his father Isaac was when Jacob was born.
From 2345 BC, Joseph at 17 in 2328 BC - seven years to 2322 BC = the 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, seven years to 2315 BC = Joseph made governor over Egypt and seven years of plenty, seven more years is 2308 BC and the seven years of famine begin, the second year 2307 BC Jacob and Joseph's brothers enter Egypt.
Thus, from Adam in 4568 BC = year 800 Armenian Sothis from its beginning in 5368 BC, 43 X 49 years = 2107 years, then 29 more years to Abraham's death in 2432 BC.
"And it came to pass in the first week in the forty-fourth jubilee, in the second year, that is, in the year in which Abraham died.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees. p. 84.
Should be "fourth" week forty-fourth jubile.
4 weeks of years, second year. Then 4 X 7 years to the second year = 28 + 1 years = 29 years to 2432 BC. This 2432 BC is even 50 year jubiles to the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC.
From 4668 BC to 2432 BC = 2236 years. 45 X 49 + 31(4 X 7 + 2 = 30) = 2236 years.
There was a transition from the Armenian sothis calendar to the Egyptian sothis calendar.
Terah died in the Egyptian calendar year 205, from 2737 BC = 2532 BC.
X32 BC = 37 years from X69 BC. X68 BC = 100's years to Jesus' sacrifice. The death of Abraham's father Terah in 2532 BC, the death of Abraham in 2432 BC, points to Jesus' life of 38 years and his sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. The birth of Abraham October 18, 2607 BC points to the birth of Jesus September 12, 7 BC.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls:
"and she gave birth to a son for him in the ninth jubile, in the first week in the third year of this week. In the fourth week of this jubile She gave birth for a son for him, in the fifth week in the fourth year of the Jubile, and called his name Enoch. He was the first. He wrote down in a book the signs of the sky, according to the order of their months, so that the sons of man would know the cycles of the years, according to the orders of all their months. He was the first to write a testimony, and he testified to the sons of men the generations of the earth. The weeks of the Jubiles. The first was buried in the ground. And he was seventy years short of one thousand, for a thousand years are one day in the testimony of heaven. Therefore it is written about the tree of knowlege. For in the day you eat from it you shall die.
Therefore he did not complete the years of that day, because he died during it. At the conclusion of this Jubile.
"And with Terah his father in Haran for two weeks of years. And in the sixth week in its fifth year Abraham sat down during the night of the first day of the seventh month to observe the stars from the evening to the morning to see what would be the nature of the year in relation to the rains. And it happened that while he was sitting alone and observing, a voice came to his heart and said "All the signs....And it happened in the seventh year of the sixth week he spoke with his father and told him that he was leaving Haran to go to the land of Canaan, to see it and he would return to him. And Terah his father said to him "Go in peace. May the eternal God make your way smooth, and may YHWH be with you and protect you from all evil and may no son of man have power over you to do you evil.'
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Frag 1 -9. 11QJub
Two weeks of years back from Abraham at 75 in 2532 BC is 2545 BC = 38 years, the life time of Jesus, to the birth of Isaac in 2507 BC when Abraham was 100.
Back from Abraham, born in Ur in 2607 BC, ahead 75 years of age when Abraham left Haran, back 49 years = sixth week seventh year when Abraham and his father entered Haran = 2581 BC; to the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC = 1300 years. From the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC to Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD are 1313 years.
Adam died in year 931 = 19 X 49 jubiles = 70 years to 1000. There were three 70 year gaps.
Enoch born in the 19th jubile, not the ninth jubile, fourth week, fourth day = 931 + 28 + 3 to Adam from year 800 from 5368 = 4568 BC = Enoch born in year 300 from 3907 BC in 3607 BC = 3600 year to the birth of Jesus in 7 BC. The seventh month = Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
931 + 28 + 3 = 962 years, almost the 969 years of Methuselah.
If there are 21 x 49 year jubiles instead of 19 jubiles, then from Adam in year 4668 BC = 700 years from 5368 BC; 21 X 49 years = 1029 years + 28 years + 3 years = 1060 years. 4668 BC - 1060 years = 3608 BC = the birth of Enoch = 3600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Nevertheless, 19 X 49 instead of 9 X 49 makes sense because the digit 10 was omitted.
The fifth week, the fourth year = 35 + 4 = 39 years = the life of Jesus.
Genesis 12:4 "So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."
Again, Abraham at 75 years old would be 2532 BC = the death of his father Terah.
Abraham at 75 would be approximately 2 X 38 years, two times the life of Jesus.
From the Greek Septuagint:
Genesis 11:13 "And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan, four hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. And Cainan lived an hundred and thirty years and begat Sala; and Canaan lived after he had begotten Sala, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
11:14 And Sala lived an hundred and thirty years, and begot Heber.
11:15 And Sala lived after he had begotten Heber, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
11:16 And Heber lived an hundred and thirty-four years, and begat Phaleg.
11:17 And Heber lived after he had begotten Phaleg two hundred and seventy years, and begat sons and daughters, and died.
11:18 And Phaleg lived a nundred and thirty years, and begat Ragau.
11:19 And Phaleg lived after he had begotten Ragau, two hundred and nine years."
From the Hebrew Old Testament:
Genesis 11:10 "These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters."
Thus, before Abraham was born in 2607 BC in Ur, God's people were using the Egyptian sothis calendar.
Thus, from Noah's flood in 3307 BC and Arphaxad in the 2nd year, 3305 BC, to Abraham born 2607 BC are 700 years. 33 year generations = 21 generations from Arphaxad to Abraham.
"In the 29th jubilee, in the first week, in the beginning thereof Arpachshad took a wife..and he found a writing which former generations carved in the rock, and he read what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it contained the teachings of the Watchers in accordance in which they used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs of heaven."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, by Ken Johnson. p.42.
From Adam in 4668 BC to Jesus in 7 BC are 144 generations of 32 years. 4661 / 144 = 32.
The Egyptian sothis calendar, a new sothis cycle, in 2737 BC.
From Shem 500 years after the flood in 3307 BC is 2807 BC; 70 more years to the Egyptian sothis 2737 BC.
Shem: H8064 שָׁמֶה שָׁמַיִם shâmayim shâmeh shaw-mah'-yim, shaw-meh' The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve): - air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).
Thus, Shem is the root word of Shemesh the sun:
H8121 שֶׁמֶשׁ shemesh sheh'-mesh From an unused root meaning to be brilliant; the sun; by implication the east; figuratively a ray, that is, (architecturally) a notched battlement: - + east side (-ward), sun ([rising]), + west (-ward), window. See also H1053. Total KJV occurrences: 134
From the Greek Septuagint Genesis 11:13 Canaan lived after..330 years. Year 1330 from 4198 BC = 2868 BC. "And Canaan lived 130 years" From this 2868 BC to the Egyptian sothis 2737 BC are 131 years.
The Armenian sothis calendar, a new cycle 3907 BC and 2447 BC.
From the end of the Egyptian sothis cycy in 2737 BC to the end of the Armenian sothis cycle in 2447 BC = 290 years.
Genesis 11:19 "And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters."
Peleg may have lived not 209 years after he begat Reu, but 290 years, possibly from this Egyptian sothis 2737 BC to this Armenian sothis 2447 BC.
Armenian sothis in 3907 BC = year 290 in the Egyptian sothis.
Enoch in year 300 Armenian sothis = year 600 Egyptian sothis.
Noah 300 years later was year 600 Armeniah sothis.
From Noah's flood in 3307 BC less 430 years less 430 years = 2447 BC = the end of the Armenian sothis cycle from 3907 BC.
The Sojourn into Egypt in the Egyptian sothis year 430 from 2737 BC = 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
The Greek Septuagint gives Phaleg 270 years. Both the Greek and the Hebrew give Reu 209 years. So the 290 years could be in this 270 years, or most likely this 209 years be actually 290 years = the gap between the two calendars.
Genesis 10:25 "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan."
Pheleg given 270 years in the Greek Septuagint, and Pheleg given 209 years in the Hebrew, "in his days was the earth divided" may equal was the calendar divided from the Armenian to the Egyptian. And the 270 or 209 years be 290 years = the correction to the new Egyptian calendar.
By the time of Terah who died in the Egyptian sothis year 205; from 2737 BC= 2532 BC, Egyptian dates are used. Arphaxad and Selah lived to year 403 = 1403 years from 4198 BC. One more generation of 30 years to the 1430 year. Even after Pheleg 430 years = 1430 year Egyptian sothis = 2768 BC; 4198 BC - 1430 years = the division after Pheleg.. Then one more generation of thirty years to year 1460 then end of the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC.
Pheleg 30, Reu 32, Serug 30, Nahor 29 = 121 years = Nahor 119 years, from 2737 BC - 119 years = 2618 BC = 86 years to Terah's death in year 205, 2532 BC.
"lived after" may be a correction to the years after the Egyptian calendar ended in 2737 BC 290 years to when the Armenian calendar ended 2447 BC, a correction to the new Egyptian system in those years before 2737 BC. Isaac would be 60 years old in 2447 BC.
Or this 430 years of Eber in Hebrew Genesis 11:17 less 134 years of Heber in Greek Genesis 11:16 = 296 years - completing the transition from the Armenian sothis calendar to the Egyptian sothis calendar as God's people moved closer to Egypt.
Or this 430 years after Eber be Egyptian year 1430 from 4198 BC to 2768 BC, and Peleg lived 30 more years to the end of the Egyptian calendar 2737 BC. There are 1460 years to a sothis cycle.
The 430th year in Exodus was the sojourn from sothis year 430 from this 2737 BC = 2307 BC. This 430 years of Eber also a sothis date, but this time 1000 and 430 years, 1430 Egyptian sothis from 4198 BC = 2767 BC = 2800 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, the year 430 BC = 1430 years to 2767 BC pointing to Jesus' sacrifice. And the Exodus the same date, the full moon, Sunday, April 3, 2307 BC from the Sojourn into Egypt in year 430, 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth, was the end of the calendar of 1456 years the same date = time of year, as April1 is March 30, 1281 BC; point also to Jesus' sacrifice at the Passover. 430 year dates to Jesus' birth and to Jesus' sacrifice.
The Egyptian calendar backed up one year every four years from the first appearing of Sirius at 4:15 AM July 16. Thus, new years had backed up 430 / 4 = 107 years from July 16 = April 1 in this 2307 BC from 2737 BC; and also the end of the sothis cycle 1456 years (1460 years) one day early, on the same date as April 1; is March 30, 1281 BC = the selfsame day Israel entered Egypt as Israel left Egypt.
Sirius rose before the sun on July 16, 1281 BC at 4 AM Cairo Egypt. Sirius rose before the sun on July 16, 1281 BC at 4:30 AM at the southern Caspian Sea = a 30 minutes difference and a seven day difference.
On July 11, 1281 BC Sirius rose before the sun on 4:27 AM Cairo Egypt and on the Armenian south Caspian Sea 4:45 AM = again about a 20 minute difference.
July 16, 1281 BC Sirius rose at 3:52 AM at Cairo. July 16, 2737 BC Sirius rose at 3:46 AM at Cairo. July 16, 4197 BC Sirius rose at 3:46 AM at Cairo. July 16, 4712 BC Sirius rose at 3:52 AM at Cairo.
4712 BC is as far back as the Julian calendar will go. Thus, you can see the appearing of Sirius on July 16 goes back many thousands of years, perhaps even to 8000 BC.
The Egyptian new sothis cycle on July 16, 4197 BC was on a full moon.
Thus, both the Egyptian Sothis and the Armenian Sothis, Sirius, calendars are similar.
From the Greek Septuagint:
Genesis 11:25"And Nachor lived after he had begotten Tharrha, an hundred and twenty-five years, and begat sons and daughters."
From the Hebrew:
Genesis 11:25 "And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters."
Counting 125 years from the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC is 2612 BC. Counting 49 year jubiles is this 2612 BC. The year the shadow from the sundial rose one cubit and lengthened ten cubits in China 312 BC - possibly the death of Alexander, 2300 years later = after this 2612 BC, was also a 49 year jubile. Lamech died in 3312 BC, year 595 from 3907 BC = 3000 years to 312 BC, a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice. Also in 360 BC a 49 year jubile the shadow of the sun: "Some ground there suddenly became longer by 100 cubits and more, and higher by a cubit and a half."
Counting 119 years from the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC is 2618 BC. Counting 50 year jubiles, 53 X 50 years, to Herod rebuilding the temple in 18 BC = 49 more years, the 50th year, to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
From Adam in year 700 from 5368 BC = 4668 BC. 2 X 38.5 years = 77 years. 777 years from 5368 BC = 4591 BC = 3350 years to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC. From 591 BC 70 years captivity to 521 BC. From 521 BC are 550 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry October 7, 29 AD.
From Noah's flood in 3307 BC, 777 years back to 4084 BC. 4084 BC + 32 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 4116 years. 4116 / 49 = 84. Thus, 84 X 49 = 4084 BC = 777 years back from Noah's flood.
Genesis 11:25 "And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters."
Or, counting 119 years from the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC is 2618 BC. From 2618 BC, counting 50 year cycles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
There are many dates and omens ending in 32 BC. Abraham's father Terah died in year 205 from 2737 BC = 2532 BC. Abraham died at 175 years from his birth in 2607 BC in 2432 BC. From Isaac's birth in 2507 BC 38 years to 2469 BC, 38 more years to 2432 BC. The sun stood still for ten days in 1832 BC. The sun stood still for three days in 1732 BC. Tsoo-Keah became emperor in 1332 BC. K'ang became emperor in 1132 BC after Ching had been emperor for 37 years from 1168 BC.
Josiah's 18th year, he was eight when he became King, wherein he held a great Passover, may be his tenth year of reign = 632 BC.
However, Josiah's 18th year should be his 18th year of reign in 626 BC.
2 Chronicles 35:19 "In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept."
"In his (emperor Seang) 24th year (from 650 BC = 626 BC), duke Wan of Tsin died. In his 25th year was kea-woo the first year of Hwan, the duke Sean of Tsin."
"In his (King K'ing) 6th year (612 BC) a comet entered the Great Bear (the Northern Bushel); and the king died."
The Chinese Classics. p.164.
Manasseh died in 645 BC, two more years of Aman, then from 643 BC are 31 years of Josiah to 612 BC, eleven years of Jehoiakim to 601 BC, twelve years of Zedekiah to 591 BC.
There was a broom star = comet seen in 632 BC in China. There may be a connection between the comet and a sun miracle in 632 BC.
Halley's comet has a 77 year orbit. Back from Halley's comet in 12 BC to 632 BC = 620 years. 8 X 77 years = 616 BC = only a 4 year difference.
From the comet, Wu tended his sprear towards the comet, in emperor Wu's first year in 1174 BC back from 632 BC = 542 years. 7 X 77 = 539 years = only a 3 year difference.
Then the pattern of years ending in X32 BC seems to be 38 years from X69 BC that equals even 100's of years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From dates ending in X07 BC in even 100's of years to Jesus' birth, are 38 years to X69 BC. From years ending in X45 BC are 38 years to years ending in X07 BC such as darkness on the Passover on the ides of March 15, 45 BC = the omen to kill Julius Caesar.
This great Passover of Josiah in his 18th year, possibly 632 BC, may point to Jesus' sacrifice.
Nevertheless, from Josiah's first year in 643 BC to his 18th year of reign, there be a great Passover, in 626 BC and the year of his death in 612 BC when he was 39 years old = Jesus' age of 38.5 years, when he went to the cross.
"Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
612 BC was the 30th year of the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
The 18th year of Josiah's life would be 633 BC. The 18th year of Josiah's reign would be 626 BC.
The 18th year of emperor Ching from 1168 BC would be 1150 BC.
Likewise, King Ching in China also became King when he was eight years old, and probably there was a sun miracle in 1168 BC on the Passover, and 18 years later there was a sun miracle of phoenixes, in the spring, also on the Passover.
Note: "When King Woo died (1168 BC), KIng Ching was still young; and Tan, Duke of Chow, acted as regent for 7 years."
The Chinese Classics, p.147.
"In his 16th year (from 650 BC = 634 BC), yih-yew, the first year of duke Wan of Tsin, Tsin put Tsze-yu to death."
The Chinese Classics, p.163.
Thus, perhaps a sun miracle in this 634 BC that was the omen to kill duke Tsze-yu.
Adam was born in year 700 and died in year 930. 19 X 49 = 931. Then at Adam's death was added 7 and 6 years. So counting from 5372 BC + 7 + 6 = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. Likewise, Adam's death in year 930 points to Jesus' sacrifice. Then, 4489 BC is 49 years before year 930. Thus, the 49 year jubile even to the death of Abraham point to the death of Adam and Jesus' sacrifice.
Abraham died 175 years after 2607 BC in 2432 BC = 38 years after 2469 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life. 2468 BC was 2500 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
From 4672 BC began both the 49 year jubile and 50 year jubile. 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
50 year jubiles from 4672 BC = 44 X 50 + 40 years. "the sixth year of the seventh week" may be 7th week = 6 X 7 = 42, but sixth year = one year less than seven, 41 years. Then, 44 X 50 + 41 from 4672 BC = 2432 BC.
Abraham born in 2607 BC - 175 years of Abraham's life to 2432 BC.
Micah 7:20 "Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old."
Thus, Abraham born in 2607 BC and not 1900 BC.
This important date, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC at the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle from 2737 BC 1456 years to 1281 BC, and the day March 30 is like April 1, 2307 BC, the 430th year from 2737 BC, new years back 430 / 4 = back 107 days from new years = April 1, 2307 BC, the first appearing of Sirius before dawn, July 16.
This Friday April 1, 2307 BC and this full moon = Passover April 3, 2307 BC and this full moon = Passover March 30, 1281 BC point to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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."
Exodus 12:51 "And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies."
"The term "Pharaoh", from the Egyptian per-aa meaning "great house", was not used before the reign of Akhetaten."
"The first chapter of Exodus mentions "the store cities of Pithon and Rameses." These can be identified as the temple of Atum (Per Anum) and Piramesse, the city and temple built for Rameses II. This with the mention of Israel in the reign of his son Merneptah has suggested that Rameses oppressed the Hebrews, and that they escaped during the reign of Merneptah."
"There is a problem, though. Inscriptions show that all building work stopped in Rameses' year 30, when he celebrated his first jubilee. This means that the workers would have been unemployed for 37 years prior to Rameses' death; and that they then demanded freedom from Merneptah, survived the plagues, raced across Sinai in the north, then formed Israel, only to be "devastated " in his year 5. While convenient, this is impossible timing."
Egypt, Land and lives of the Pharaohs Revealed. Exodus. p.375
Yet, this is exactly what happened. Israel was in slavery under Ramses II.
Rameses II's birth name was Usermaatra = the powerful and just one of Ra. In Rameses II's second year he named himself Setepenra = Chosen of Ra. Ra = the sun.
Exodus 2:23 "And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob."
Ramses II was this king of Egypt that died. His son Merneptah was the Pharaoh of the Exodus 10 years later, March 30, 1281 BC.
Herodotus, a Greek historian, wrote that the Egyptian priests reported:
"Thus, the whole number of years [of early Egyptian history] is 341 Pharaohs, in which entire space, they said, no god had ever appeared in a human form; nothing of this kind had happened either under the former or under the later Egyptian kings. The sun, however, had within this period of time, on four several occasions, moved from his wonted course, twice rising where he now sets, and twice setting where he now rises. Egypt was in no degree affected by these changes; the productions of the land, and of the river, remained the same; nor was there anything unusual in the diseases or the deaths."
The History of Herodotus, chapter 2
The sun rising in the west and setting in the east may be compared to changing sprinklers. If you move the sprinkler back and forth instead of starting again from the beginning, the net effect is a loss in coverage of one sixth. Likewise, the loss in the coverage of sunlight would also be one sixth.

The fortieth year eleventh month when Moses died should have been the eleventh month November 26, 1242 BC from the first month 14th day, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Then Miriam, Aaron and Moses died on the first day of the week as well as the first day of the lunar month. Miriam died Sunday, the first day of the week, the first day of the first month, February 5, 1242 BC. Aaron died Sunday, the first day of the week, the first day of the fifth month, June 2, 1242 BC. Moses died, the first day of the week, the first day of the eleventh month, November 26, 1242 BC.
The 49 year jubile from 5358 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is on 1242 BC. The 50th year in 1241 BC and Joshua's long day.
From Aaron's death in June 2, 1242 BC to Moses' death in November 26, 1282 BC are 177 days that equal a half orbit. The sun may move to the other side of earth, and earth in a reverse orbit, for a long or short day June 2, 1242 BC and back for a long or short day, November 26, 1282 BC, and earth flow out of a reverse orbit of the sun.
Then Friday, January 26, 1241 BC was the first day of Nissan. Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC was the 10th day when Israel crossed Jordan.
David in 1078 BC:
1 Chronicles 12:15 "These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
12:16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David."
Acts 7:23 "But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
Exodus 4:1 "And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
4:2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
4:3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
4:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:"
Here you can see an Ogopogo "stick". The mouth at the bottom is open. You can see an eye, nostrils, and teeth:
Again you can see an Ogopogo "stick" in the creek. Note the white eye in the second picture:
"If you spend your life looking in vain for the Loch Ness Monster, stalking the lake with a camera, sounding it with sonar..and yet find nothing, what is the more sensible view: to conclude provisionally that the monster simply isn't there, or to throw up your hands and say, "It might be there; I'm not sure"? Most people would give the first response - unless they're talking about God."
Faith vs. FACT.p.95
"unless you are talking about God" God is there, there is no doubt God is there. To move the sun around the earth - only God could do that. God's Spirit is in his people today = the real proof God is there.
To spend your life looking for Ogopogo - taking many photos of Ogopogo has been very rewarding.
You can see many of my photos of Ogopogo - Stories of Ogopogo and ask me for more photos if you like. The Ogopogo can fly.
Evidence For Massive Serpent In BC Interior A 45 minute documentary.
Possible Ogopogo sighting on Okanagan Lake You can see the horns three feet apart. The E-goat has two horns, but probably refers to a sun angel.
Isaiah 14:29 "Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent."
Isaiah 30:6 "The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them."
Job 41:1 "Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?"
Job 41:30 "Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire."
Psalm 74:14 "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness."
Psalm 104:26 "There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein."
Isaiah 27:1 "In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea."
"Did a Kelowna man capture Ogopogo on video?" Three feet wide and one hundred feet long.
Ogopogo 100 feet long and more than a metre around is huge. Both Leviathan and Ogopogo appear as dinosaurs. Ogopogo being a surviving Stethacantus/Nosaurus.
After much search there is much supporting evidence of this model of sun miracles.
Thus, science and religion are not incompatible.
Acts 7:23 "And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
Thus, Moses was about 39 years old in 1322 BC, being born in 1361 BC. This was about the same age as Jesus, 38 1/2 years old when he was crucified in 33 AD. Double 38 1/2 = 77 years. 50 year cycles from this date to 29 AD when Jesus began his ministry - no year 0.
Exodus 7:7 "And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh."
Thus, Moses was 80 years old at the Exodus.
Deuteronomy 34:7 "And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated."
Thus, Moses died at 120 years old about November 26, 1242 BC = the next year was 1241 BC and Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
Deuteromomy 25:3 "Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee."
2 Corinthians 11:24 "Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one."
John 19:1 "Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him."
1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
Jesus lived to be thirty eight and a half. There were to be 39 stripes = forty save one.
Then the manna ceased to fall that Friday, February 9, 1241 BC when there was to be twice as much, and instead there was none. Thursday, February 8, 1241 BC was the Passover. Sunday, February 11, 1241 BC, Joshua circled Jericho once. Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC, Joshua circled Jericho seven times and conquered Jericho, and the walls fell down flat.
Then the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC that was counted as in king Wan's 35th year from his first year February 5, 1239 BC - one year after the battle of Merom. There may have been a sun miracle Friday, May 9, 1206 BC on the 13th day of the first lunar month of spring in king Wan's 35th year. The full moon, when a naturally occurring lunar eclipse can happen, was one day later on May 10, 1206 BC.
Thus, the sun miracle both on lunar day 13 and day 13 of cycle 60, May 9, 1206 BC. The year may have been counted from the new moon April 25, 1206 BC. The Chinese usually counted the beginning of the year in spring. April 1, 1206 BC was the vernal equinox. The 13th day of the lunar month thus seemed a day early for a lunar eclipse and thus was interpreted as a sign by king Wan of his appointment of heaven.
The birthday of the dragon was the 13th day of the sixth month in China. New years began in September and in February. Solar eclipses were described by the dragon eating the sun. Some records of solar eclipses were not solar eclipses. The Chinese may have seen an angel like a dragon move and or cover the sun. The sun was darkened at the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC on the seven day moon. This was not a solar eclipse because a solar eclipse can only occurr on the new moon. Then an angel must have moved and covered the sun that day, that may be likened to the dragon eating the sun.
Thus, there must have been a sun miracle at this lunar eclipse in this 1205 BC, September 24, day 13 of cycle 60, that king Wan spoke so adamantly about, that he was put in prison. 1207 BC is 1200 years to Jesus' birth. 1205 BC is 1200 years 5 BC. Two years after Jesus was born, again in September, the wise men came before the sun returned = Arcturus 90° above at midnight.
There must have been sun miracles as well as both lunar and solar eclipses.
Joshua 23:1 "And it came to pass a longH7227 timeH4480 H3117 after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
"a long time" = many long days. Thus, from the crossing of the Jordan February 4, 1241 BC and Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, there must have been five long days in two reverse orbit years, and possibly other sun miracles continuing to this 1205 BC.
In a long day of +12 more hours or +24 more hours, the sun would be hot. Thus, "many long days" = very hot days, such as Yao's long day:
"...it is reported, that in the time of their seventh emperor, Yao, the sun did not set for ten days, and that men were afraid the earth would be burnt.."
Gill 1810, Hubner 1733. However, this ancient text no longer exists.
"Yao" Universal Lexicon(1732-1754) Volume LX.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
The sun standing still for +12 hours or +24 hours, or the sun brightened sevenfold, the day would be hot.
Scientists may chuckle at the fear the Chinese and others felt when there was a total solar eclipse.
Similarly, scientists may chuckle that they can fool people into believing there is no God and no way for these sun miracles.
Many people feel because the sun is the axis for the solar system, that the sun cannot move.
God is God, He can move the sun. All these records point to God moving the sun, and then moving the sun back without a trace.
Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
Scientists can only account for 4% of the universe. The rest is in dark matter and dark energy - dark because we do not know what it is.
Often, the emperor in China was assassinated out of fear of naturally occurring lunar and solar eclipses.
"The name by which God was designated was the Ruler, and the Supreme Ruler, denoting emphatically His personality, supremacy, and unity. We find it constantly interchanged with the term Heaven, by which the ideas of supremacy and unity are equally conveyed, while that of personality is only indicated vaguely, and by association of the mind. By God kings were supposed to reign, and princes decree Justice."
The Chinese Classics, The Ancient Empire of China, p.193.
However, many Chinese emperors were killed on years ending in X68 = 100's of years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 and from X07 BC 100's of years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC = 100 years. The frequency of new emperors on these dates and Bible dates must mean there were sun miracles the Chinese took as omens.
Just looking at the pages of the Chinese Classics, the last several hundred years of the Bamboo Books - the emperor came to the throne on a year ending X67 BC or X68 BC, or a year ending X07 BC = the death of emperor Muh in 906 BC.
New emperors on these dates can only be because of a sun miracle that the Chinese took as an omen to change emperors.
"The name by which God was designated was the Ruler, and the Supreme Ruler, denoting His personality, supremacy and unity are equally conveyed, while that of personality is only indicated vaguely and by association of the mind. By God kings were supposed to reign, and princes were required to decree justice..He raises one to the throne and puts down another. Obedience is sure to receive His blessing; disobedience with His curse...
The Chinese Classics. p.193.
When in China in 2007, the Chinese often showed me pictures of their phoenix, they were proud of their phoenix.To see the phoenix brought good luck. And this thousands of years after the phoenixes appeared to point people to Jesus in Old Testament days.
The sun having moved on the 17th day of the seventh Hebrew month, September 12, 7 BC should return two years later, September 12, 5 BC on the 13th day of the lunar month. September 15 was the full moon, the 14th day of the Hebrew lunar month.
God must have used these dates to move the sun to point to his Son. The whole Bible points to nothing other than Jesus. Nothing matters but Salvation.
The keatze day, day one of cycle sixty, could have been a sun miracle to point to two years after Jesus' birth Saturday, September 12, 7 BC, thus September 12, 5 BC.
September 12, 5 BC was a day one of cycle 60 from January 26, 2636 BC, a keatze day. A sun miracle on the 17th lunar day of the seventh Hebrew month, be on September 21, 1207 BC. The Chinese started their autumn in August and their calendar was lunar. Thus, September could have been their last month of autumn.
Then just like the sun miracle at the same time as the lunar eclipse in September 15, 5 BC when the sun moved back two years after Jesus' birth. If the sun returned at the lunar eclipse of September 15, 5 BC, the day of 60 would be day three.
Thus, the difference of 2 days from the 17th day of the 7th month, Satuday, September 21, 1207 BC to September 23, 1205 BC, the day before the seven days of the feast of tabernacles on the 15th day; from Jesus' birth September 13, 7 BC, to the lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC. Also, the September 21 date in 1207 BC would equal a September 13 date in 7 BC because the autumn equinox in 1207 BC was October 1 and the autumn equinox in 7 BC was September 22.
Then Jesus' crucifixion be the 490th year from the wall of Jerusalem being complete in 458 BC, April 3, 33 AD. And also be from the cycle of 49 years from 1242 BC unbroken. Then Jesus' ministry from his reading in Luke 4 to begin the jubile in the 50th year on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or rather Friday, October 7, 29 AD, be three and a half years to Jesus' crucifixion, April 3, 33 AD.
Leviticus 25:29 "And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
25:30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile."
From when Herod began to rebuild the Temple in 18 BC was 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD = this same 49 year jubile.
Tacitus recorded the phoenix appeared in Egypt in 34 AD. The appearing of the phoenix mean the phoenix flew to the sun and moved the sun to the other side of the earth. This appearing of the phoenix may be when the sun bowed down suddenly at noon when Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD. Or the sun moved that Friday night and or that Sunday morning. Thus, the record be from 33 AD.
Luke 4:25 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;"
Luke 4:28 "And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,"
Here you can see this steep brow of the hill outside of Nazareth:
Leviticus 16:21 "And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness."
Josephus wrote that the man should cast the goat down a steep hill. This scape goat was to be offered on this Yom Kippur = the same day Jesus fulfilled this day of Atonement when he read Isaiah 61.
Jesus quoted Isaiah 61 on Yom Kippur, the 10th day of the seventh Hebrew month = Friday, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, on the jubile year, 50th year. The 50th year from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC to the fall of Jerusalem in 591 BC. Then 70 years of captivity to 521 BC. Then 50 year jubiles to September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Ezra 1:2 "Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
Cyrus became King of Babylon not 539 BC but 527 BC. Cyrus became king of Persia not 559 BC but 547 BC. Thus these dates should be 13 years more recent Cyrus became King of Babylon in 526 BC or even in 523 BC. Thus, the 70 years captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC; a few years after 526 BC or 523 BC.
Daniel born in 627 BC/ 620 BC would be 100 years old when Cyrus became King of Babylon in 527 BC. That is 12 years more recent than in 539 BC.
The dates for the reign of Cyrus and Darius must be moved forward 12 years.
Cyrus was King of the Achaemenind Empire and King of Persia, not in 559 BC but in 547 BC.
Cyrus was King of Media, not in 549 BC but in 536 BC.
Cyrus was King of Lydia not in 547 BC but in 534 BC.
Cyrus was King of Babylon not in 539 BC but in 526 BC.
From 526 BC 210 years to Alexander the Great in 326 BC.
Cyrus was King of Babylon not 539 BC to 530 BC; should be Cyrus was King of Babylon nine years from 527 BC to 518 BC. Thus, there was an attempt to build the Temple in Jerusalem in 521 BC, in the year six, three years before Cyrus died in 518 BC. Thus, Cyrus made the decree to build Jerusalem in his third year, and the work began in his sixth year = 521 BC and Cyrus live three more years to 518 BC.
Cyrus died not in 530 BC but in 517 BC. Cyrus made a decree in his first year in Babylon, about 526 BC. The 50 year jubile began again, at the end of the 70 years of captivity = this same 521 BC = 11 X 50 years to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
The return from exile was 521 BC, and that year work to restore the temple began, and lasted only a few years. Work on the temple was suspended to 507 BC. Cyrus died the same year King K'ing became emperor over China in 518 BC and Cyrus became King about when King Ling died in 543 BC and King King became emperor. Probably there was a sun miracle both 545 BC and 518 BC that marked the beginning and ending of the reign of Cyrus. And that the Chinese took these sun miracles as an omen for a new emperor.
The date 521 BC to begin building the second temple was even 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry from September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, on Yom Kippur. The date 507 BC in King Darius' second year to start again to rebuild the second temple is in even 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC.
Ezra 3:6 "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
The first day of the seventh month was 70 years after the temple fell on the 7th day of the 5th month.
Ezra 3:8 "Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
3:9 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
3:10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel."
Thus, the foundation was laid the the second month of the year as it was the first temple of Solomon. The same year 521 BC was the return from captivity from 591 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
About this time Jesus spoke in Matthew 5, 6, 7 about the foundation of the wise man.
Thus, the reason for stopping the building in 521 BC may have been a better date pointing to Jesus' birth for laying the foundation in 507 BC. Also, 507 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From 507 BC jubiles to Jesus' birth and death.
Ezra 4:5 "And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia."
Thus, again the foundation was laid in Darius' second year from 509 BC, 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth, and finished in Darius' sixth year at the sun miracle recorded in China, the third of Adar = February 10, 504 BC.
From Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC began the 50 year jubile and the 49 year jubile. Likewise Joseph, Joshua's distant father, became governor of Egypt April 1, 2316 BC, or April 1, 2315 BC, at the same time the sun stood still for 10 days in China, whereupon Yao became emperor. The 50 year jubile ended September 7, 591 BC 70 years to begin again in 521 BC. The 49 year jubile did not have this gap. The 50 year jubile ending September 29 AD to begin Jesus' three and a half year ministry to end April 3, 33 AD the end of the 49 year jubile.
Levitcus 25:8 "And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
Thus counting from the year of conquest in 1241 BC both the 50 and 49 year jubiles.
This means God must have planned the conquest of Palestine in 1241 BC, and the 40 years in the wilderness from 1281 BC, and the 70 year captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC. This because Abraham was born about October 18, 2607 BC = the 17th day of the lunar month, even the 17th day of the Hebrew lunar month, 2600 years before Jesus to the day, the 17th day of the seventh lunar month, September 12, 7 BC.
The new moon was September 29, 2607 BC. Then August 18, 2607 BC, day 57 of cycle 60, in autumn in Huangdi's 50th year from 2656 BC, cycle 60 from Huangdi's 20th year, January 26, 2636 BC, counting from the moon's first visibility, in the Hebrew calendar, October 1, 2607 BC = October 18, 2607 BC.
"Abraham had lived for three jubilees and four weeks of years, one hundred and seventy-five years."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition Volume I. p.215
"And in the sixth year, in the seventh week of this jubilee, Abraham called Isaac, his son, and commanded him saying: I am old and I do not know the day of my death, for I have completed my days. Behold, I am one hundred and seventy-two years.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition Volume I. p.467
3 X 50 + 7 + 7 + 6 = 170 years (not 172 years) = 2437 BC = 300 years from the Egyptian Sothis new cycle 2737 BC. Jacob was born when Isaac was 69 years old = this same 2438 BC. 70 years after 2438 BC equals exactly 2368 BC. Thus, Abraham was born in the Egyptian Sothis year 130 from 2737 BC = 2607 BC, and Jacob came into Egypt in his 130th year = the Egyptian Sothis year 430 = 2307 BC.
Abraham at 172 years old in 2435 BC = 200 years to Joseph's death at 110 years old in 2235 BC.
At the end of the Armenian sothis cycle, 2447 BC = Isaac would be 60 years old. Nevertheless, Jacob must be born when Isaac was 69 years old.
The "seventh week" may refer to the day of Pentecost = 7 X 7 days, that is 50 days = a Sunday, from the Passover on the Saturday. The first day after the Passover was a sabbath.
Leviticus 23:5 "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
Leviticus 23:16 "Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD."
The Chinese start their cycle of 60 years and 60 days with the sun miracle January 26, 2636 BC = 100 years after the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC and very like these dates ending X37 BC.
Likewise dates ending X30 BC are 38 years after dates ending X68 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
Enoch born in 522 A.M. (Anno Mundi = year of the world) and married in 582 - 588 A.M. From Adam year 700, 4668 BC - 522 years = 4146 BC, 4668 BC - 582 AM = 4086 BC.
"The fourth week of this jubile, 9th, and she gave birth to a son for him in the fifth week in the fourth year of the jubile and called his name Enoch."
The Dead Sea Scrolls. 11Q12
(9 X 49) + (4 X 7) + 3 = 441 + 31 (in the fifth week in the fourth year = (4 X 7) + 3) = 471 years.
10 more jubiles = 10 X 49 = 490 years + 471 years = 961 years.
Jubile dates are from Adam in year 700 or in year 800 = in 4668 BC or in 4568 BC.
From Adam year 800: 4568 BC - 961 = 3607 BC. From 3907 BC to 3607 BC = 300 years = Enoch at the Armenian sothis year 300 from 3907 BC = 3607 BC = 3600 years, and 3900 years, to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 5:22 "And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:"
From Adam's death in year 930: "At the close of the 19th jubile, seventh week sixth year thereof Adam died." 19 X 49 = 931 years, less one year = sixth year thereof, 930 years.
4568 BC - 588 years (the seventh week 582 to 588 AM) = 3980 BC.
Often 10 jubiles are omitted. From 4668 BC - 522 - 490 (10 X 49) = 3656 BC = sothis year 250 from 3907 BC. Married 582 AM at 60 years old = 3596 BC, died at 115 years old = 3541 BC, in year 365 from 3907 BC. 3907 BC - 365 = 3541 BC.
Genesis 5:23 "And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
Enoch was translated so he did no see death in year 365, 3541 BC = 1300 years to Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
"In the fifteenth jubilee, in the third week, Lamech took to himself a wife..in this week she bare him a son, and called his name Noah, saying "This one will comfort me for my trouble and all my work, and for the ground which the Lord has cursed."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, by Ken Johnson, p.26.
From 4668 BC - 25 (not 15) X 49 + 15 (third week) = 3427 BC = 120 years to Noah's flood in 3307 BC:
Genesis 6:3 "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
Noah appears in the 25th jubile, not the 15th jubilee. Noah may have been born 120 years before the flood (in 3307 BC) in 3426 BC = 25 jubiles and in the third week (2 X 14 + 1 years) = 25 X 49 + 15 = 3428 BC. 3428 BC - 120 years = 3308 BC.
Enoch born 522 AM; + ten jubiles = + 490 years; 4668 BC - (490 + 522) = 3656 BC.
Then Enoch married 582 AM; 4672 BC - 582 - 490 = 3600 BC.
Then, Enoch may have married in year 300 from 3907 BC, and died 65 years later in sothis year 365 from 3907 BC. Then, Enoch could have taught his son Methuselah for sixty years before God took him.
Genesis 5:21 "And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
Enoch may have begat Methuselah in Armenian sothis year 300 from 3907 BC, and lived 65 more years to Armenian sothis year 365. The year 365 describes this sothis calendar, for the calendar backs up one day every four years. In 4 X 365 years, 1460 years, the calendar backs up to the beginning, July 11 again.
Likewise, from the Egyptian Sothis calendar from 2737 BC 365 years to 2372 BC = 48 X 50 years to Jesus' speaking on the jubile Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
The 49 year jubile in 2369 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and 49 X 49 years 2401 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From the birth of Isaac in 2507 BC to 2372 BC is 135 years = 35 years more than 100 years. Jesus would be 35 years old when he began his ministry in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Likewise, in 2369 BC Isaac would be 138 years old - is 38 years more than 100 years. Jesus would be 38.5 years old when he gave his life in sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Adam was born in year 700 and died in year 930. 19 X 49 = 931. Then at Adam's death was added 7 and 6 years. So counting from 5372 BC + 7 + 6 = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. Likewise, Adam's death in year 930 points to Jesus' sacrifice. Then, 4489 BC is 49 years before year 930. Thus, the 49 year jubile even to the death of Abraham point to the death of Adam and Jesus' sacrifice.
Genesis 5:15 "And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:"
"in the first week of the third year of the ninth jubilee, in the first week in the third year of this week [395 A.M.], and he called his name Mahalalel.
The Ancient Book of Jubilees 4, p. 24.
"she bare him a son in the third week of the sixth year [461 A.M.] and he called his name Jared.."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees 4, p. 24.
Genesis 5:18 "And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:"
Jared born 4207 BC to Mahalaleel, back 65 years = 4272 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 to fulfill the jubile, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
From 4668 BC = year 700 of Adam in the Septuagint, 461 years = 4207 BC = 4200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus the birth of Jared was a type of Christ.
Jared at 461 A.M. and Jared at 162 years; From the Egyptian Sothis cycle 4197 BC, 300 and Enoch is 60, born 3957 BC, Jared is 60, born 4017 BC back 162 years is 4179 BC = a difference of only 18 years to 4197 BC.
Nevertheless, the Armenian sothis calendar was used utill well after Noah, not the Egyptian sothis calendar, and Enoch may have been born on the new cycle of 1460 years Armenian 3907 BC.
There was alot of longevity. Adam lived 230 years, Jared 162 years, Methuselah 187 years, Lamech 182 years, Abraham 175 years, Isaac 180 years, Jacob 147 years, Levi 137 years, Joseph 110 years, Moses 120 years, Joshua 110 years, Jehoiada 130 years.
Liked Adam, Daniel may have lived 230 years, from 630 BC to Darius II at 62 years of age in 400 BC.
Genesis 5:22 "And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
"And in the eleventh jubilee Jared took himself a wife, and she bore him a son in the fifth week, in the fourth year of the jubilee [522 A.M.] and he called his name Enoch."
4668 BC - 578 years (11 X 49 + 35 + 4) = 4090 BC; perhaps the birth of Enoch, and thus the seventh from Adam.
Enoch in year 300 to year 365; from 3907 BC = 3607 BC; from Adam in 4672 BC = 1065 years. 1065 / 27 generations = 39 years a generation = the 39 years of Jesus' perfect life. Thus, Enoch may be the 27th from Adam.
Likewise, Noah in the 27th jubile, 38 years = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life, from Adam in 4668 BC, in year 600 from 3907 BC = 3307 BC = Noah's flood.
4090 BC is in even 50 year jubiles to Joshua's long day and conquest in 1241 BC.
From 4090 BC to the Armenian Sothis start date 3907 BC = 182 years. There are 182 years of Lamech after Enoch.
"And in the twelfth jubilee, in the seventh week thereof [582-588 AM], he (Enoch) took to himself a wife..
The Ancient Book of Jubilees 4, p. 24.
A.M. is Latin for Anno Mundi, meaning "the year of the world".
"and she bare him a son, in the fifth week, fourth year, of the jubile, and called his name Enoch."
Nevertheless, this counting of the jubile, like for Noah, may be 10 more jubiles. Then Enoch in the 21st jubile. 21 X 49 + 5 X 7 + 4 = 1064. From Adam in year 700 is 4672 BC less 1064 years is 3607 BC, Enoch the 300 years from the Armenian sothis 3907 BC.
This 12th jubile be the 22nd jubile. Then, 22 X 49 + 7 X 7 = 1127; 4672 - 1127 = 3545 BC = 38 years to 3507 BC = 200 years to Noah's flood 3307 BC = 3300 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Noah's ark was built in the 27th jubile, fifth week, fifth year.
From Enoch in the 12th jubile and Noah in the 27th jubile, may mean a 10 jubile gap. Either a 10 jubile gap, or 10 jubiles more recent.
Possibly, Enoch was not the 12th jubile but 10 more jubiles, the 22nd jubile.
"In the 14th jubile Methuselah took unto himself a wife.."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees 4, p. 26.
There is a correction of 10 jubiles. Noah in the 27th jubile and Methuselah in the 24th jubile, not the 14th jubile.
Then a generation of 40 years in 22 jubiles = Enoch the 27th from Adam.
3545 BC is 38 years before 3607 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life in reverse to his birth, possibly September 12, 7 BC.
Or four years more recent - the sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. Thus, 4668 BC - 1127 = 3541 BC. From 3907 BC is year 362 or year 366. Enoch's age is recorded at year 365. Enoch may have walked with God just after his marriage and his son being born.
The number of Jubiles may be increased by ten. Then, Noah's jubile was increased by ten, from 17 jubiles to 27 jubiles; thus 1323 years + (5 x 7) + 5 from 4668 BC = 3307 BC = year 600 from 3907 BC. Then Enoch in the 22nd jubile plus 7 x 7th week = 1078 + 42 + 6 = 1126 years. 4668 BC - 1126 = 3543 BC = year 365 from the Armenian sothis year 3907 BC.
Or 22 X 49 = 1078 years. 4668 BC - 1078 years = 3590 BC. From 3907 BC = year 317. Enoch would be 17 when Methuselah was born.
Then, Enoch died in year 365, from 3907 BC = 3542 BC = the 23rd jubile from 4668 BC.
Enoch died in the 23rd jubile 3541 BC. 73 X 49 = 3577 years. Enoch was a type of Jesus and died on the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
3542 BC - 2300 years to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC and from 1242 BC are 26 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
This works using Adam from year 700 from 5368 BC = 4668 BC. Enoch born in year 300 from 3907 BC and Enoch married and Methuselah born, 17 years later in Armenian Sothis year 317 = 3590 BC.
The counting of jubiles was from 4668 BC in year 700 in the Greek Septuagint, and not from 4568 BC in year 800.
10 more jubiles than 12 = 22 jubiles.
Enoch was born in year 300 and died in year 365. Therefore, the Bible is right to count from year 700 in 4668 BC.
If the Bible counted from year 800 in 4568 BC, 22 jubiles would count Armenian Sothis year 417 in 3490 BC = 100 years difference = Enoch born in year 400.
But Enoch was born in year 300 from 3907 BC.
Thursday, April 19, 3543 BC was the spring equinox and full moon. The Exodus and Passover March 30, 1281 BC also was on a Friday, the full moon and the spring equinox. 1281 BC / 128 = 10 days correction to our tropical Gregorian calendar; spring in March 20 in our Gregorian calendar in 1281 BC. That is, the spring equiox was on March 30, 1281 BC. The Passover month, the new moon, March 20, 33 AD began on the spring equinox and Jesus' sacrifice 14 days later April 3, 33 AD.
Jacob and his sons entered Egypt in year 430 from 2737 BC about the full moon, Sunday, April 3, 2307 BC.
The Egyptian calendar had backed up 107 days, 430 / 4 = 107, from July 16 = new years = Friday, 2307 BC, April 1 = pharaoh's birthday.
Israel entered Egypt on new years, on a Friday, April 1, 2307 BC and the Exodus was also on a Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, the self same day.
Before Christ, BC, the Julian calendar is used. The equinox backs up one day every 128 years. Because a year is 365.24 days not 365.25 days. After, the year of our Lord in Latin, AD = Annos Domini, is in the Gregorian calendar that adjusts and keeps the same day March 19 or March 20 for spring.
Jude 1:14 "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,"
"And in the twelfth jubilee, in the seventh week thereof [582 - 588 A.M.], he took to himself a wife..and in the sixth year in this week she bare him a son and called his name Methuselah"
As with other jubile dates 10 is omitted. Then, not 12 but 22 X 49 + 49 = 1127; Adam in year 4668 BC - 1127 years = 3541 BC. New Sothis 3907 BC - 3541 BC = 366 years = the 365 years of Enoch.
"sixth year" and "seventh week" may mean seventh week and sixth year = 6 X 7 + 6 rather than 7 X 7. Then Enoch in year 365:
Genesis 5:23 "And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:"
Year 582 or year 587 from 4668 = 4081 BC, to the Exodus in 1281 BC = 2800 years, or 56 X 50 jubiles.
Enoch married and Methuselah born in 582 AM. From year 582 AM from year 700 = 4670 BC; 4090 BC are 777 more years to the death of Lamech in 3312 BC five years before Noah's flood.
3907 BC + 182 = 4089 BC. That is, Lamech at year 595 from the Armenian Sothis 3907 BC = 3312 BC; Lamech at year 777 from 182 years earlier = 4089 BC. This is very close to Methuselah born year 587 A.M. = 4081 BC. Enoch married Edni [582 A.M.] = 4082 BC.
From 4089 BC to Jesus' ministry in 29 AD = 4089 + 28 years = 4117 years. 4117 years / 49 = 84. Thus, the 777 years point to Jesus' ministry = 84 X 49 year jubiles.
From the Egyptian Sothis in 4197 BC is 107 years to this 4089 BC. 4197 BC is 4190 years before the birth of Jesus in September 12, 7 BC.
Nevertheless, the Armenian sothis calendar was in use untill well after Noah.
Back from the Armenian sothis in 3907 BC; 3900 years to Jesus' birth, 1461 years is 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' crucifixion.
Or to be exact the sothis calendar backs up 365 days in 1460 years, but including the complete cycle is also one year. Then 1461 years back from 3907 BC is 5368 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD because there is no year zero: 5368 BC + 32 (no year zero to 33 AD) = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
777 years from 5367 BC is 4590 BC is 67 X 50 jubiles to Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
"in the third week, in the first year of this week [652 A.M.] and he begat a son and called his name Lamech. And in the fifteenth jubile in the third week [701 - 707 A.M.] Lamech took to himself a wife.. and in this week she bare him a son and called his name Noah.."
However, Noah's flood was in the 27th jubile five weeks fifth year = exactly 3307 BC from 4668 BC = 3307 BC, not the 15th jubile. That is, Noah in the 27th jubile not the 17th jubile = 10 more jubiles. Likewise, the Exodus in the 69th jubile not the 49th jubile = 20 more jubiles.
Genesis 5:25 "And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:"
Thus, 187 from 587 = 400.
Shem was 100 when he left the ark in 3306 BC. Then Noah may have been married in year 500, 3407 BC. Then, Enoch in sothis year 365 = 3542 BC, and Methuselah born in the 12th jubile (24th jubile) the sixth year of the seventh week thereof, 42 years before in 3584 BC = when Enoch was 23 years old.
Lamech born in 3494 BC (182 years to year 595 from 3907 BC = 3312 BC), 48 years to Noah about 3446 BC, and 39 years to Shem 3407 BC.
22 X 49 +6 years = 3584 BC = Sothis year 323 = the birth of Methuselah = Enoch lived 42 more years to Sothis year 365 in 3542 BC.
Using the same numbers as from Lamech the year 777 = the year 182 + 595. From 3907 BC - 595 years = 3312 BC = 5 years before Noah's flood in 3307 BC.
3312 BC + 182 = 3494 BC. From 3496 BC to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD are 72 X 49 years. From 3493 BC - 7 = 3486 years = 498 X 7 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
"And in the sixth year, in the seventh week of this jubilee, Abraham called Isaac, his son and commanded him saying: I am old.. Behold, I am one hundred and seventy-two years, and throughout all the days of my life I have been remembering our God always and I sought him with all my heart.."
Co.1 (Jub 21:1-2.7-10; 4Q220 1) The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, Volume 1, p.467.
"but his father called his name Benjamin, on the eleventh of the eighth month in the first of the sixth week of this jubilee [2143 AM]. And Rachel died there.."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.119.
Joseph born [2134 AM] and Benjamin born 9 years later in [2143 AM].
Possibly Benjamin was born about nine years after Joseph, in 2336 BC = Saturday, November 12, 2336 BC.
Or, possibly Benjamin was born in 2333 BC, nine years after Joseph in 2342 BC = a three year difference in dates.
The 49 year jubile was in 2369 BC. The first of the sixth week = 5 X 7 + 1 = 36. From 2369 BC - 36 years = 2333 BC. Joseph born in 2345 BC = 12 years.
Joseph may have been born 9 years earlier than Benjamin, in 2342 BC = 2100 years to Joseph's descendant Joshua' on Joshua's long day in 1241 BC. Joseph would be 30 years old in 2311 BC. Joseph would be 26 years old in 2315 BC. Joseph was recorded at 30 years of age at the beginning of the seven years of famine - 2315 BC, leaving a difference of four years.
Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
The Dead Sea Scroll Genesis ends chapter 41 with verse 44. The words "Joseph was thirty years of age" do not appear. Joseph could have been 26 years of age when Pharaoh called him.
Nevertheless, Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old" appears in the Septuagint.
"And on the day Joseph stood before Pharaoh he was thirty years old, and in that year Isaac died."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.140.
Numbers 4:3 "From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation."
Isaac born in 2507 BC lived 180 years to 2327 BC. Joseph went into Egypt when Isaac was 180 years old when Joseph was 17 years old.
"these shall be from twenty-five to thirty years old"
Dead Sea Scroll. 1Q33. V11:3.
Jesus would be 25 years old, born September 12, 7 BC, when Caiaphas became High Priest after Annas in 18 AD.
Nevertheless, the 2 years difference means Joseph must have been 30 years old when he was made governor over Egypt.
That could be in 2313 BC, but Yao's long day in 2315 BC, 3 years less than 100 years, to Shun in 2219 BC and 50 years of Shun to Yu in 2169 BC, also points to Joseph at 30 years old in 2315 BC.
Joseph was born about 2345 BC, or 2343 BC, and be about 28 years or 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh, and Benjamin born about 2333 BC.
Benjamin born more than 36 years after the 49 year jubile in 2369 BC may point to the 38 years of Jesus' life.
When Joseph was sold into Egypt at 17 years old, Benjamin would be ten years younger, and be 7 or 8 years old.
Then, Joseph would be 38 years old either when he became governor of Egypt in 2307 BC or Joseph became 38 years old at the end of the seven years of famine, in 2302 BC.
Joseph's age may be described as the fourth week the third day. Which can be interpreted as either 4 X 7 + 2 = 30, or 3 X 7 + 3 = 24. Thus, Joseph may have been 25 and not 30 when he was made governor over Egypt. Even so, there is only a five year difference.
Jesus may have been born Saturday, September 12, 7 BC and gave his life 38.5 years later on Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
2336 BC / 128 = 18. 18 days plus the autumn equinox September 12 = October 10. The seventh month from the spring equinox is October 10, 2336 BC, and the eighth month is November 10 = this eleventh day of the eighth month, November 12, 2336 BC.
Thus Benjamin would be 100, or 103, when his full brother Joseph died at 110 years old.
"Jacob celebrated the eight days of the feast of tabernacles."
Ancient Book of Jubiliees. p.116
Jesus may have been born in the middle of this feast of booths, the feast of tabernacles, the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
There was no room at the inn because everyone was supposed to be outside in the feast of booths.
The fall equinox was October 10 in 2336 BC. Jesus may have been born, also in Bethlehem, Saturday, September 12, 7 BC which is also ten days before the fall equinox September 22, 7 BC.
Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, may have been chosen for the lineage of Christ. David was chosen instead. Benjamin born about the same time of year as Jesus would be born may have been born to point to Jesus.
Benjamin's birth according to the Ancient Book of Jubiles was 2333 BC = the 6th week = 5 X 7 = 35, first = 36 years from 2369 BC = 2333 BC. And Joseph's birth seven years earlier.
Benjamin's birth in 2333 BC is 36 years, like the 38 years of Jesus' life, from the jubile in 2369 BC. From 2369 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is both 2400 years = 48 X 40 years, and 2401 years = 49 X 49 years.
2345 BC is 38 years to the Sojourn into Egypt in 2307 BC. And is also the 38 years of Jesus' life, Jesus' born about September 12, 7 BC.
"And in the sixth year of this week of this forty-fourth jubile Jacob sent his sons to pasture their sheep, and his servants with them, to the pastures of Shechem."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.123.
From 4668 BC to Joseph born 2345 BC; Joseph at 17 in 2328 BC. 47(not 44) X 49 + 36(7X5+1) = 2339 + 2328 BC = 4668 BC.
Joseph in 2345 BC; was born 9 years after Jacob married Rachel. The series of children born to Jacob before Joseph attest to this nine years.
Abraham born 2607 BC would be 172 in 2435 BC = the sixth year. Then the jubile should count from 2441 BC. Which would equal the 1241 BC, both the 49 year and 50 year jubile, 1200 years later, of Joshua's Long day and conquest, and jubile to 591 BC at the fall of Jerusalem. Then after the 70 years of captivity the 50 year jubile from 521 BC to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Thus, the xth jubile, tenth, or ten times, jubile, that is 7 X 10 X 49 years = 3430 years; + 1242 BC = 4672 BC = Adam in year 700 from 5368 BC. The xth the tenth, times ten, the 70th jubile = 7 X 10, in the Dead Sea Scrolls when Joshua entered the promised land in 1241 BC. Counting from the sothis cycle, 2741 BC about the 2737 BC, are 50 year jubiles to 2441 BC and to 1241 BC; even 3 X 10 X 50 jubiles (the xth jubile) from 2741 BC to 1241 BC.
This 1241 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the xth jubile may simply mean the beginning of a jubile, of 49 years. Also, the same 49 year jubile was from 2368 BC = Jacob's 70th year.
"thus jubile" should be the conquest of Joshua in 1241 BC.
"commanding you to go down into Egypt, and to bring out..the signs I gave to you, and you stayed.. years you spent from the week..this jubile, for it is holy..holy angels in eternity of eternities.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition volume 1, p.481, 4Q225.
2237 BC - 70 years = 2167 BC.
70 years from X37 BC = X68 BC = even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice. 70 years from X07 BC (even 100's to Jesus' birth) = X37 BC again - 70 years = X68 BC again - even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice. After the 70 years captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC are even 50 year jubiles to Jesus' three and a half year ministry September 10, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, to April 3, 33 AD.
Here you will see years ending in X68 BC often. Thus sun miracles on these dates would point to Jesus' birth and sacrifice and ministry.
Emperor Yu from 2169 BC, emperor Ching from 1168 BC, emperor P'ing from 769 BC, emperor Ling from 570 BC, emperor Ching-Ting from 467 BC, emperor Heen from 367 BC.
"In the summer of the thirteenth year, 167 BC, the soverign said, We have heard that according to the way of Heaven..In the fifth month, 29 May-26 June 167 BC"
The Grand Scribe's Records, Vol II, p.170.
Likewise, Egyptian Pharaoh's follow the same patter of years ending in X68 BC, X45 BC, X30 BC and X07 BC.
X68 BC = 38 years from X07 BC; X45 BC = 38 years to X07 BC; X30 BC is 38 years after X68 BC; X07 BC is 100's years before Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
X18 BC is 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice 18 + 32 = 50. There is no year zero. King Hwan's first year was 718 BC. 100 years later King K'ing's first year was 617 BC. King King's first year was 518 BC. King Shin-tsing's first year was 319 BC.
X72 BC or X22 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus' beginning of the gospel September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Examples are: Joseph in Egypt in 2322 BC. The first year of emperor Shun in China 2222 BC. Moses at 40 when he fled Egypt in 1322 BC. Joshua speaking in Joshua 24 in 1222 BC the 20th year from the conquest according to Josephus. Saul's 2nd year and fast Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC, Alexander the Great's first year in 322 BC, the victory after the lunar eclipse of October 11, 322 BC.
Pharaoh Merneptah died at the Exodus in April of 1281 BC.
Amenmesse reigned three years to 1278 BC.
Pharaoh Seti ii to 1273 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD. Pharaoh Sipta to 1268 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Pharaoh Twosret three more years to 1265 BC.
Pharaoh Setnakhte three more years to 1262 BC.

Pharaoh Ramses VI eight years to 1213 BC.
Pharaoh Ramses VII seven years to 1206 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Pharaoh Ramses VIII one year to 1205 BC.
Pharaoh Ramses IX 18 years to 1187 BC.
Pharaoh Ramses X four years to 1183 BC.
Pharaoh Ramses XI 29 years to 1154 BC.
Pharaoh Smendes 26 years to 1128 BC.
Amenemnisu five years to 1123 BC = 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, and also the first year of King Saul in 1124 BC.
Pharaoh Psusennes forty six years to 1077 BC.
Pharaoh Usermaatre nine years to 1068 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Pharaoh Orsokon six years to 1062 BC.
Pharaoh Siamon 19 years to 1044 BC, 1046 BC was the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Pharaoh Psusennes II 24 years to 1019 BC = 20 years in 2 Chronicles 8:1, from 1041 BC in building the Temple = 7 and Solomon's palace = 13 = 20 years.
Pharaoh Shoshenq 21 years to 998 BC = the fifth year of King Rehoboam of Israel from Solomon's death in 1004 BC.
Pharaoh Orsokon thirty five years to 963 BC.
Pharaoh Shoshenq II two years to 960 BC.
Pharaoh Takelot I 12 years to 948 BC.
Pharaoh Orsokon 35 years to 914 BC was the year Athaliah became Queen of Israel and King Joash was born.
Pharaoh Joash reigned 40 years from 907 BC to 967 BC = 900 years before Jesus' was born in September of 7 BC and from 967 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Pharaoh Shoshenq III 39 years to 874 BC = the 39 years of Jesus' life.
Pharaoh Shoshenq IV thirteen years to 861 BC.
Pharaoh Pami seven years to 854 BC. 850 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
Missing 9 years to Pharaoh Pedubast II?
Pharaoh Shoshenq V 38 years from 845 BC to 807 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life in reverse from the Passover the 14th day of the first month to Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month 7 BC.
Pharaoh Pedubast II, between Shoshenq V and Osorkon, ten years 819 BC to 809 BC.
Pharaoh Osorkron IV 14 years from 807 BC to 792 BC.
Pharaoh Tanis twenty years from 776 BC to 756 BC = 752 BC when the King of Israel Uzziah died and the first year of Rome. There was recorded a solar eclipse September 6, 776 BC barely visible in China.
The Queen Alexandra Salome died in 67 BC, possibly because of the omen of a sun miracle in 68 BC.
From this 67 BC is both the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, and from 68 BC the 50 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
"And they were very fruitful and multiplied greatly during ten weeks of years, all the days of Joseph's life...and Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition Volume I, p.212. 2Q20
Thus, the 70 years from 2315 BC to 2245 BC = the 70 years of emperor Yao. 2245 BC is 38 years before 2207 BC.
"In his 70th year, in the spring, in the first month, he caused the chief of the four mountains to convey to Shun of Yu his charge to succeed to the throne."
Note: When the emperor had been on the throne seventy years, a briliant star issued from the constellation Yih, and phoenixes appeared.."
The Chinese Classics, The reigns of Yao and Shun. p.113.
God may have moved the sun in spring from Taurus to Yih in Virgo/Corvus.
Note: His mother was called Sew-ke. She saw a falling star, which went through the constellation Maou (Taurus), and in a dream her thoughts were moved till she became pregnant, after which she swallowed a spirits pearl..she gave birth to Yu in Shih-new. He had a tiger nose and a large mouth. ..His head bore the resemblance of the stars Kow and K'een (Sagittarius). On his breast seemed in a figure in gem of the Great Bear (the Big Dipper), and in the lines of his feet he seemed to tread on the character.."
The Chinese Classics, The Dynasty of Hea. p.117.
Exodus 24:9 "Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink."
Taurus and Sagittarius are 180° apart. Possibly the sun moved from Taurus in spring, when would be the Passover, to Sagittarius.
Thus, Yao's zodiac with Taurus in the west and Scorpius in the east = springin the east, in this 2169 BC.
Likewise, the 50 year jubile was counted from the Armenian sothis cycle in 3907 BC to Enoch in 6 jubiles = 300 years = 3607 BC, to Noah 12 jubiles = 600 years to 3307 BC - all pointing to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
However, Enoch appears in 11 jubiles of 49 years plus 39 years = 4090 BC, and Noah 27 jubiles of 49 years from Adam in year 700 = the flood in 3307 BC. Thus, there is a 700 year gap from Enoch to Noah. Enoch may be born in Egyptian sothis year 300 = 3898 BC from 4198 BC, and Noah's flood in Armenian sothis year 600 = 3307 BC from 3907 BC.
"The general conjunction of sun, moon, and planets at the time of the Kaliyuga, which is assumed in both canons is purely hypothetical." The begin date of 3600 years before 499 AD = 3100 BC. The begin date may rather be from the sun miracles of Noah's flood in 3307 BC = 200 years earlier, when the planets and the moon should be moved out of the way of the sun. Thus, the conjunction.
Astronomy and Mathematics in Ancient India, edited by J.M. Delire. p.22
Here you can see a conjunction of all five planets above the sun on February 16, 3307 BC:
If the first appearing of Sirius was on July 11, then on February 11, 3307 BC= 150 days back from July 11, 3307 BC. February 11, 3307 BC = January 11 in the Gregorian calendar that begins with 1 AD. Thus, the rainy season in January in the Aral and Caspian Sea. In the last Ice Age, the Caspian Sea was probably higher than it is now because of abundant glacial meltwaters.
Nevertheless, Sirus would first appear before sunrise at the Aral Sea in July 23, 7 days futher back than in July 16 at Cairo Egypt and 12 days further back than July 11.
At the 40° latitude Sirius would first appear 4 AM on July 23, not July 11. Back 150 days from July 23 is February 23 = the 17th day of this second month when the flood began.
The first month must begin December 9, 3308 BC in our Gregorian calendar. Just like the first month in Yao's time in China began in the month before the winter solstice. Because the Julian calendar backs up 30 days in 3307 years. So, February 11 is January 11, the new moon February 4, 3307 BC Julian. February 11, 3307 BC the seven day moon of the second month.
The Armenian sothis calendar may have begun July 23. Then 150 days earlier = the new years backed up 600 / 4 = 150 days = Febuary 23, 3307 BC.
Genesis 7:11 "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
Genesis 7:24 "And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."
The 600 year Armenian Sothis, backs up one day every four years. Thus, this year 600 from 3907 BC = 3307 BC, and the new year 150 days back from July 23, 3307 BC = February 23, 3307 BC.
"Return of Sirius signals seasonal change" There you will see some charts for different latitudes for the first appearing of Sirius at dawn. Thus, Sirius first appears before dawn July 16 in Cairo, and on July 23 at the Aral Sea, in ancient times - and is also seen today several days later at latitudes further north.
Thus, the Bible date of Noah's flood is for the Armenian sothis calendar to start on July 23, several days after the sothis calendar began in Egypt, at Cairo on July 16.
The sun may rise in the west and set in the east on Saturday, February 23, 3307 BC.
The flood may begin on the 17th lunar day, February 23, 3307 BC. Back 150 days from new years July 23, 3307 BC is this 17th day, February 23, 3307 BC.
Likewise, Isaac's birth in 2507 BC must have been a type of Jesus. Isaac would be 72 years old when Abraham was 172 years old.
"And she bare a son in the third month, and in the middle of the month [1980 AM], at the time of which the Lord had spoken to Abraham, on the festival of the first-fruits of the harvest, [Pentecost], Isaac was born."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.70
This day of Pentecost, that is, several days after Pentecost = the eighth course of Abiathar = 8 weeks after the 24th course of Zadok in the Passover, may equal the day Zachariah saw the angel in the temple. Then, John the Baptist should be conceived a week or a month later. Then, John the Baptist may have been born at the time of the Passover.
Nevertheless, Isaac must have been born in 2507 BC = 2500 years before Jesus.
There are 24 priestly courses. 8 of Abia, and then 16 more of Zadock = 24 altogether.
1 Chronicles 24:7 "Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
24:8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
24:9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
24:10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
24:11 The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
24:12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
24:13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
24:14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
24:15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
24:16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
24:17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
24:18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah."
Caiaphas was from Maaziah, the 24th division = the last week of the month of Adar, just before the first month of Nissan, of the Passover.
John's father Zacharius must have served in the eighth priestly course of Abijah. The 24th priestly course of Zadock at the Passover was the last of Zadock. Then 8 more weeks from the Passover week should be this middle of the third month.
Pentecost should be about the fifth lunar day of the third month. The course of Abia should be between the first week and the second week of the third month.
The Passover on March 26, 8 BC:
The eighth division of Abia to begin about Pentecost, May 17, 8 BC:
Then Isaac may have been born about the time of year that Zachariah saw the angel in the temple that told him he would have a son.
Jesus must have been born during the feast of tabernacles. Thus, there was no room in the inn because everyone was supposed to live out doors. Thus, Jesus must have been born the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC, and John the Baptist born six months earlier about the Passover time in March of 7 BC.
Nevertheless, Isaac must have been born when Abraham was 100 years old in 2507 BC = 2500 years to Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC = Abraham born the 17th day of the 7th month in 2607 BC = the sun miracle in Huangdi's 50th year from 2657 BC on day 57 of cycle 60 = October 18, 2607 BC = the fall equinox as well.
Genesis 18:1 "And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;"
Genesis 18:10 "And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him."
Genesis 19:23 "The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."
"There was very little time for Lot to escape between dawn in verse 15, and sunrise."
Net Bible
If there was a sun miracle that day, the sun must return one year later on the same day of the year. Thus, there should be a sun miracle to mark the birth of Isaac.
Genesis 21:1 "And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac."
The hot time of summer is a few weeks before the autumn equinox. Thus, the autumn equinox was October 18, 2607 BC, a sun miracle to mark Abraham's birth. Then, the servants and the Lord must have come to Abraham a few weeks before this October 18 fall equinox. Then Sarah would conceive a few months later and bare Isaac at the end of summer the next year. Likewise, Jesus must have been born September 12, 7 BC just over a week before the autumn equinox September 22, 7 BC.
"And he celebrated this festival every year, seven days with joy, and he called it the festival of the Lord according to the seven days during which he went and returned in peace."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.75.
Genesis 17:21 "But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."
Abraham born October 18, 2607 BC, 99 years later is October of 2507 BC, 9 months later is June 2507 BC.
Genesis 21:4 "And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him."
"And she bore him a son in the third month, in the middle of the month, at the time of which the Lord had spoken to Abraham, on the festival of the first fruits of the harvest (Pentecost) Isaac was born.:
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.70.
The third month, the middle of the month, the day after the full moon, is a Saturday, June 23, 2507 BC. when Isaac was born, and 8 days later, on Saturday, June 30, 2507 BC, Isaac was circumcised.
Then Jesus may have been circumcised the eighth day from his birth Saturday September 12, on Saturday the Sabbath, September 19, 7 BC.
John 7:23 "If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?"
This Julian calendar Before Christ, was out one day every 128 years. Thus, October 18 in 2607 BC is equal to September 27 in 7 BC. This is five days after the fall equinox September 22. In years AD = Anno Domini = Year of our Lord, we use the Gregorian calendar. Before Christ, BC, we use the Julian calendar. The Julian calendar fall back one day every 128 years. The Gregorian Calendar corrects and keeps the fall September 22, the equinox, the same date.
Thus, Abraham was born in the same seventh lunar month, and the same 17th day of the lunar month.
And many many Bible dates and Chinese emperor dates point to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC and Jesus' crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD.
Some assume because Joseph was 30 when he appeared before Pharaoh that Jesus was 30 when he began his ministry. However, Joseph was 38 at the beginning of the seven years of famine, David 38 when he was made King of all Israel. Thus, Jesus' ministry from his 35th year to his 38th year April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, Jesus' ministry was three and a half years. However, Jesus must have been born the 17th lunar day of the 7th month, in September 12, 7 BC. Many Chinese records of sun miracles occur on dates like 907 BC = 900 years before Jesus' birth = an omen in 906 BC and emperor Muh of China died and Kung became King of China.
The 59 years of emperor Muh from 966 BC = an omen in 967 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The Armenian Sothis 1460 year may have ended in 907 BC back from 552 AD. 1460 more years back = 2368 BC.
However, the Armenian sothis calendar should be 76 more years further back. So, instead of 552 AD, the end of the calendar should be 476 AD or 474 AD; (no year zero) 1460 years back = 987 BC; 1460 years back = 2447 BC; 1460 years back = 3907 BC; 1461 years back = 5368 BC.
However, Jubile dates, such as for Noah's flood, only work if the Armenian sothis calendar ended in 476 AD. Likewise, the new 1460 cycle from 3907 BC, 3900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, year 600 from 3907 BC was 3307 BC.
The 27th jubiles of years fifth week, fifth year = (27 X 49) + (5 X 7) + 5 = 1363. 1363 + 3307 BC = 4670 BC = year 700 from 5370 BC. Therefore, the Armenian sothis must have ended in 476 AD.
The Armenian calendar uses the calendar era of AD 552, reflecting the separation of the Armenian Apostolic Church from the Roman Church.
However, previously the Armenian calendar may have ended 76 years earlier, in 476 AD = the end of the 1460 year calendar. Likewise, the Egyptian calendar dates of Pharaohs should be 76 years further back and ended at the Exodus = the end of the Egyptian 1460 years, and the death of Pharaoh Merneptah not 1205 BC but 1281 BC.
Dates that match both calendars must be 76 years further back. Putting the Armenian calendar 76 years back from 552 AD gives a consistent calendar from the earliest dates of the Bible, from the Armenian Sothis calendar begin year 5368 BC = 7387 years ago from 2019 AD. The Egyptian Sothis begin year should be 5657 BC = 7675 years ago from 2019 AD.
1 Kings 11:40 "Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon."
1 Kings 14:25 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:"
2 Chronicles 12:2 "And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,"
2 Chronicles 12:5 "Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak."
2 Chronicles 12:7 "And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak."
2 Chronicles 12:9 "So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made."
From King Solomon's death in 1004 BC is Rehoboam's fifth year, may be 998 BC, a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice. Likewise 1004 BC was a seventh year, fallow year for farming from Joshua's conquest from 1242 BC.
This fifth year = 1001 BC not 925 BC. The Egyptian chronology must be moved 76 years back; from 925 BC= 1001 BC. Pharaoh Merneptah may have died April 5, 1281 BC not May 1205 BC. Thus, when the Armenian calendar was matched to the Egyptian calendar there may be the same 76 year difference.
Likewise Jacob and his sons sojourned in Egypt in the 430th Egyptian sothis year 2307 BC = 2300 years before Jesus' birth. By almost all accounts Jesus must have been crucified April 3, 33 AD. This makes Jesus thirty five when he began his ministry and not thirty as was assumed in Luke's account. Thus, Jesus was in his 30th decade, not beginning his 30th year.
Counting from when Moses was 40; 1281 BC (80 years old) - 40 years = 1321 BC (40 years old).
"There are 49 jubilees from the days of Adam until this day, and one week and two years [2410AM], crossing the Jordan to the west."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, Laws Regarding the Jubilees and the Sabbaths, p.163
There should be 69 jubilees to the Exodus, not 49 jubilees, twenty jubilees were simply omitted as were 27 jubilees, 49 year jubilees, to Noah's flood, not 17 jubilees.
Thus, from Adam in year 700 = 4672 BC, 69 X 49 = 3381 years = 1291 BC less seven years and two years = 1281 BC.
The Romans wrote 28 as XXIIX = 10 + 10 - 2 + 10; thus the week less two years = 1281 BC exactly. From the Roman calendar:
The new sothis 3907 BC back 1461 years to 5368 BC. 5372 BC was 4 years earlier. So, the writing XX11X = 28 may be misunderstood for XXX11 32 = a difference of 4. Also, the sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. So the difference from 5368 BC and 5372 BC may be the difference of the counting of one day.
From Adam in year 700 in 4672 BC was both 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, and 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 in September of 29 AD.
5368 BC was 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and 1460 years to the new sothis in 3907 BC.
49 year jubiles to the end of Jesus' ministry at the Passover April 3, 33 AD, and 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry on Yom Kippur = either September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Because 1242 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD, then the year 1281 BC would be written 49 jubiles one week two years = 1281 BC from 4672 BC.
That is, 1291 BC would be both the 50 year and 49 year jubile, and 7 + 2, that is 9 years later, would be the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Joshua would cross the Jordan to the west "yet forty years to come" = 1241 BC.
Then counting 50 year cycles from the return from the 70 year captivity in 521 BC to the first year of Jesus' ministry in 29 AD. 27 X 50 = 1350 years. Then counting 49 year cycles from the death of Ramses II in 1291 BC to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD; 27 X 49 = 1323 years = 1291 BC + 33 AD. There is no zero BC.
Also, 1291 BC was 700 years before the fall of Jerusalem in 591 BC.
Jesus appears in the Gospels about the Passover of 29 AD to begin his ministry in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
The next Passover is from John 2:13 = March 8, 30 AD, or April 7, 30 AD.
John 5:1 "After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
Then the feast, not a feast, = the Passover from John 5:1 in spring 31 AD = the pools of water should only be full in spring at the Passover. Then "the feast" a Passover from John 6:4 in spring 32 AD. The last Passover from John 19 April 3, 33 AD.
"State records from the seventh century BC reveal: "The Sun was eclipsed; drums were beaten and oxen were sacrificed at the temple."
"The annular eclipse of the sun on May 21, 30 AD was interpreted as a demonstration of disapproval for the emperor' refusal to accept the recommendation of high officials."
Moon Shadow, The Story of the Total Eclipse, p.63
Here you can see this solar eclipse was not visible in China:
Here you see the correct solar eclipse visible in China:
This May 10, 31 AD would be the middle of Jesus' three and a half year ministry. There may have been sun miracles then to point to Jesus. There would be the sign of Jonah = a long day/night or twilight of three days when Jesus was crucified.
Sun miracles can occur half an orbit later, and the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus, the sun must move in Jesus' ministry, and there be two years of reverse orbit to build 96 hours of sped up time to equal 1 X 180° = a 12 hour longer day/night April 3, 31 AD and a 7 X 180° = 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours, longer day/night = the sun move back for a long day or night when Jesus died and rose from the grave.
Possibly the sun moved 180° four years earlier April 3, 29 AD = the new moon = 4 X 48 hours of longer days = 4 X 48 hours sped up earth reverse orbit.
The sun may have been moved around the earth 360° in 55 minutes = two sped up Fall/Winter reverse half orbits of 30 minutes sped up time to counter the one hour of darkness when Jesus was on the cross.
Thus, there may have been sun miracles during Jesus' ministry from 29 AD to 33 AD that was taken as an omen.
Jesus spoke on Yom Kippur in Luke 4 on September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. Then half an orbit later at the Passover oin March 8, 30 AD or April 7, 30 AD, Jesus spoke:
John 2:13 "And the Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,"
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
Herod began to rebuild the temple in 18 BC. 46 years later is this 29 AD / 30 AD.
Luke 6:1 "And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands."
Luke 6:5 "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
The second sabbath after Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, was Jesus' birthday, the 17th day of the seventh month.
Likewise, Jesus may have been born on the sabbath, the 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC.
From October 7, 29 AD to April 7, 30 AD are 182 days = a half orbit when the sun may return. The first sabbath is the Passover = the full moon = Friday, April 7, 30 AD. Friday sunset = the sabbath.
Three and a half years from October 7, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is October 5, 29 AD.
There is a possible seven half orbits, from October 7, 29 AD to April 3, 33 AD.
"Now that our Saviour taught his preaching three years, is demonstrated both by other necessary reasonings, as out of the holy Gospels, and out of Josephus's writings, who was a wise man among the Hebrews, & etc."
The Complete Works of Josephus, Dissertation 1, p.641
Josephus wrote of his journey to Rome that equals Paul's journey to Rome: The shipwrecks of Josephus and Paul
Luke 7:28 "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
Elijah and Moses appeared with Jesus in glory on the mount of transfiguration.
Matthew 17:10 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?"
17:11 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things."
17:12 "But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them."
Matthew 11:14 "And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come."
John the Baptist may be Elijah. Thus John the Baptist be in glory in Heaven.
Josephus was very favourably impressed by an Essene Banus who "lived in the desert, and used no other clothing than grew upon trees, and had no other food than what grew of its own accord, and bathed himself in cold water frequently, both by night and day, in order to preserve his chastity, I imitated him in those things, and continued with him three years."
Banus lived like John the Baptist. Josephus was impressed by the testimony of John the Baptist.
Jesus took the least place to go to the cross for us. And not that John the Baptist had sinned, but Jesus took our sins. Thus, Jesus is greater than John the Baptist.
When at Qumran by the Dead Sea in September, 2010, and again in April 2018, we were showed a video. There was recorded at the time John was beheaded, one asked their leader if John the Baptist was the same person by the name of John who had been with them. Their leader denied this, and said John the Baptist was someone else, and not to listen to other teachers. Thus, probably John the Baptist had been with them and their leader did not want to lose his following.
Then the statement there is no record of John the Baptist in the Dead Sea Scrolls is incorrect.
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
1:2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,"
The 30th year of the 50 year jubile from 1241 BC was 611 BC. Jehoiachin was a captive in his fifth year from 612 BC = 607 BC. Thus, this same 611 BC was his first year.
Sunday, June 20, 611 BC = the fourth month, fifth day of the month. This would be a few days before the summer solstice.
Or, Sunday, May 23, 611 BC be the fourth month from February and the fifth day = Pentecost. Likewise the Pentecost, Sunday, May 24, 33 AD and the Pentecost, Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC.
Half an orbit from the summer solstice is about 182 days, half of 365 days.
"His first year was Kwei-maou (40th of cycle 60 = 617 BC). In his sixth year (611 BC), a comet entered the Great Bear (Northern Bushel); and the king died."
The comet may be a part of a sun miracle to mark the captivity.
King K'wang, "His first year was ke-yew (46th of cycle 60 = 611 BC)"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.164
"In his sixth year, duke Ching Ch'uen of Tsin, with some of the northern hordes, attacked Ts'in, and captured a spy, whom they put to death in the market place of Keang, and who came to life again six days after."
From 605 BC, the sixth year of duke Ching Ch'uen of Tsin, was 600 BC.
Jeremiah 28:1 "And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
28:2 Thus, speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
28:3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:"
The fourth year of Zedekiah = the sixth year of King Ting = 599 BC. Perhaps this spy in China came to life by a miracle at the same time as a sun miracle.
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;"
The 30th year of the 50 year jubile from the year of Joshua's long day 1241 BC was this 611 BC. The Chinese often changed their emperors when there was a sun miracle.
Ezekiel 4:5 "For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."
Back from the captivity in 591 BC 390 years is 981 BC in the third year of King Asa. Back another 40 years is 1021 BC in the 21st year of Solomon's beginning to build the temple seven years and thirteen more years to the completion of his own house.
Foreward 390 years from the captivity in 591 BC is 201 BC.
Lui Bang became emperor of China in 207 BC when there was an omen in the sun.
"Lui Pang, came to the Mandate of Heaven" "He was divinely conceived by a kraken.."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.96.
Foreward 40 years from the captivity in 591 BC is 551 BC = solar eclipse record for September 551 BC in China that was not a solar eclipse. Likewise a solar eclipse record for July 549 BC was not a solar eclipse.
Back from the captivity in 591 BC 40 years is 631 BC = the 12th year of King Josiah.
2 Chronicles 34:3 "For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images."
Back from the captivity in 591 BC 430 years is 1021 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur.
1 Kings 9:10 "And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,"
1 Kings 15:11 "And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
15:12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made."
37 years from 591 BC is 554 BC. 390 years from 554 BC is 164 BC.
Forward from 591 BC 40 years to 551 BC. Forward 390 years from 397 BC, about the death of Darius II and the first year of Cyrus the younger, is Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Forward 430 years from 398 BC is Jesus' sacrifice.
The solar eclipse record from China for day 17 of cycle 60 for the month of September 551 BC = September 14, 551 BC, is a 5 day moon = the fall of Jerusalem on the 7 day moon September 7, 591 BC = there can be no solar eclipse on a seven day moon.
The darkness when Jesus was on the cross at noon was on the full moon. There can be no solar eclipse on a full moon either.
One half orbit later when the sun may return is the ten day moon when the lamb was to be taken into the home for 4 days till it was sacrificed on the Passover = Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan River = Palm Sunday, March 29, 33 AD.
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
Daniel may haved lived to this 402 BC.
Ezra 8:1 "These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
8:2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush."
Nehemiah 10:1 "Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,"
10:6 Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch,"
The dedication of the wall was in 458 BC, 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Or possibly the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem was in 438 BC, the 20th year of Artaxerxes. The 32nd year of Artaxerxes was in 426 BC. The last year of Artaxerxes was in 417 BC. The first year of Darius II should be 416 BC or 413 BC. The 9th year or 7th year of Darius II may be in 407 BC.
Daniel 9:1" In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;"
Darius II was the son of Ahasuerus = Xerxes, the son of Artaxerxes. Darius II reigned not from 423 BC; but from 416 BC; for 19 years to 397 BC.
Or, Darius II reigned eleven years more recent from 412 BC.
"According to the Hebrew Bible, the temple was completed in the sixth regal year of Darius II, which would place the event around 418 BC, although it is impossible to be absolutely certain about that, since the dating of biblical texts and events in the Persian period is notoriously difficult."
Persians, the acts of the Great Kings, p.283.
The battle of Mantineia in late 418 BC should be 7 years more recent in September 411 BC.
Alexander the Great's death should be 11 years more recent than 323 BC, and be 312 BC.
The death of Artaxerxes should be 7 yeares more recent in 417 BC, not 424 BC.
The 11 years more recent solar eclipse of July 13, 383 BC than of August 14, 394 BC.
July 13, 383 BC:
"404 BC. In the following year 2. the people passed a resolution to choose thirty men to draft a constitution based on the ancestral laws of the State.."
2. "The MSS. here add "it was that year of the Olympiad cycle which Crocinas, a Thessalonian, won the Stadium' when Endius was ephor at Sparta, and Pythodorus archon at Athens, though the Athenians indeed do not call the year of that archon's name, since he was elected during the oligarchy, but prefer to speak of the year of 'anarchy'; the aforsaid oligarchy originated thus, "...which, though correct, probably was not written by Xenophon. The year of anarchy might perhaps be better rendered "the year without archons."
"and Agis withdrew the land force from Deceleia and disbanded the troops, dismissing the contigents to their several cities. In was this date, about the time of the solar eclipse, that Lycophon of Pharae, who was ambitious of ruling over the whole of Thessaly, defeated those sections of the Thessalians who opposed him, such as the men of Larissa and others, and slew many of them. It was also about this date that Dionysius, now tyrant of Syracuse, was defeated by the Carthaginians.."
Ancient Greek Philosophers, Hellenica. 718.
Likewise, you can see here, this date of the solar eclipse, was ten years more recent, on August 13, 394 BC, rather than September 3, 404 BC. Likewise, the solar eclipse of August 14, 394 BC be eleven years more recent, July 13, 383 BC. Simply the dates of the chronology is ten or eleven years more recent.
Darius II's first year should be one year after the death of Artaxerxes in 417 BC, and be in 416 BC. Artaxerxes reigned 41 years from 458 BC to 417 BC.
Thus, Darius II's sixth year should be 410 BC; 416 BC - 6 = 410 BC. The second year of Darius II may have been 415 BC.
Seven years after 416 BC = 409 BC.
From 409 BC are 63 weeks of years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The wall of Jerusalem must have been built in 458 BC, and after the temple was built and finished in 504 BC on the third of Adar.
The building the temple must come first = to start the second year of Darius in 507 BC and complete on the third of Adar = day 48 of cycle, year 33 of cycle = the solar eclipse record in China, February 10, 504 BC.
Cyrus gave approval to build the temple about 521 BC but he stopped it short and he died in 518 BC. Then in 507 BC Darius I resumed to build the temple. In February 10, 504 BC on the third of Adar the temple was finished.
In 458 BC at the 20th year of Xerxes from 477 BC and his death and the first year of his son Artraxerxes, when Nehemiah had the wall of Jerusalem built. The Darius that saw the temple finished in his sixth year may be Darius II in 410 BC, in his sixth year from 416 BC.
Darius II was about 62 in 413 BC when he became King.
Nevertheless, Darius I's sixth year should be 504 BC and be the Darius of Ezra, matching the solar eclipse, rather sun miracle, of February 10, 504 BC on day 48 of cycle 60 and year 504 BC not 505 BC, with the third of Adar and the completion of the temple.
The date of the solar eclipse record in the Chinese Classics is for February 10, 504 BC even though there was a solar eclipse on February 16 on day 48 of cycle in 505 BC.
It makes more sense to build the temple first in this 507 BC and the wall later in 458 BC, a strong reason to have a wall to protect something within.
Forward from 62 weeks from 402 BC, 434 years, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Forward 430 years from 402 BC, is 29 AD and the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
"19th year/Summer Syracuse, After Gylippus returns to Syracuse with reinforcements, the Athenians finally decide to leave Syracuse. An eclipse of the moon changes their minds, however, and Nicias insists that they wait at least twenty-seven days, as prescribed by the soothsayers"
August 27, 413 BC was supposed to be this lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse should be seven years more recent, September 28, 405 BC or eight years more recent, August 18, 404 BC.
Because the Athenians waited they were almost all destroyed, and Athens was captured soon after.
"All was at last ready, and they were at the point of sailing away when an eclipse of the moon, which was then of the full, took place."
The Landmark Thucydides, A comprehensive guide to the Peloponnesian War, p. 459.
August 27, 413 BC: other alternative dates: August 8, 403 BC, July 29, 402 BC, June 18, 401 BC, July 17, 401 BC = up to 11 or 12 years more recent.
This lunar eclipse should be in 402 BC = the 11th year of Darius II, 62 weeks of years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and Darius II may have been 62 years old that year.
There was a lunar eclipse for August 28, 413 BC that may have been been 9 years later on August 18, 404 BC, or 11 years later on July 29, 402 BC, or 12 years later, July 17, 401 BC. Only the August 18, 404 BC eclipse was a total lunar eclipse.
The lunar eclipse August 18, 404 BC:
Here is a solar eclipse over Syracuse Sicily, September 3, 404 BC nine years more recent than 413 BC. The date September 3 is very near the date August 28. The lunar eclipse for August 18, 404 BC = it is written "an eclipse of the moon". There were no solar eclipses for the period of 413 BC visible in Sicily.
There was a battle between Athens and Sparta, said to be 413 BC but must be 9 or 12 years more recent, just as the troops were to withdraw on their ships there was an eclipse, Athens was defeated.
"Thucydides notes an eclipse of the sun, and describes the maneuvers and plans of the Mytilenian exiles."
"In the first days of the next summer there was an eclipse of the sun at the time of the new moon, and in the early part of the same month an earthquake."
"The Athenians afterwards sent back Artaphernes in a trireme to Ephesus, and ambassadors with him who heard there of the death of King Artaxerxes son of Xerxes, which took place about that time, and so returned home."
"Once fortified there, they would have every facility for shipbuilding, from the vicinity of Mount Ida (in Crete)"
The Landmark Thucydides, A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War. 7th year 425 BC.p.251
The Solar eclipse March 21, 424 BC should be eight years more recent.
The solar eclipse April 21, 416 BC is not even visible in Athens:
The solar eclipse June 11, 418 BC = 6 years more recent than March 21, 424 BC:
The solar eclipse record may be a sun miracle.
"who heard there of the demise of King Artaxerxes, son of Xerxes, which happened approximately that time, and so returned home."...
"In first days of the next summer time there had been an eclipse of the solar at the time of the latest moon, and inside the early part of the same month an earthquake."
The History of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides. p.299.
If this April 21, 416 BC was not the eclipse, the year may be 414 BC when was no solar eclipse match, and this be a sun miracle, ten years more recent than 424 BC Thus, there be rather a sun miracle and also the earthquake. Eclipses do not match these years.
Next, in the battle of Salamis there were two solar eclipses, one in spring and one in fall, six months apart. Sun miracles must happen six months apart. Solar eclipses do not correctly match.
The Greek Olympics was in the same year, cycle of four years, not 480 BC - from 776 BC, but 472 BC = 8 years more recent = not 9 years more recent.
The battle of Salamis was on September 26, that happened on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, on lunar day 21, September 26, 480 BC:
Nevertheless, the true date of the battle of Salamis was eight years more recent = 472 BC, also on an Olympiad year, also on September 26, also on lunar day 21, also on the last day of the feast of Tabernacles:
The important part is the date September 26, 480 BC = September 27, 472 BC.
"About an hour after dawn, at sunrise, an earthquake was felt by land and by sea..the battle was now set to take place." "dawn of September 24".
The Battle of Salamis, by Berry Strauss. p.89.
The battle of Salamis Saturday, September 26, 472 BC / Sunday, September 27, 472 BC = the 21st day of the 7th month = the last and great day of the feast of Tabernacles.
= Joshua's long day, also the 21st day of the 7th month, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Half an orbit before the last day of the feast of tabernacles, not September 27, 472 BC, but September 29, 472 BC, is the Passover, March 27, 472 BC:
Here you see the last day of tabernacles two days later, September 29, 472 BC or September 28, 472 BC = 186 days = half an orbit later, not 184 days, after the Passover March 27, 472 BC:
The full moon is at 12 AM March 27, 472 BC. Thus, counting from March 26, 472 BC to the last day of the feast of tabernacles 186 days to September 28, 472 BC.
You can see at the bottom right the Umbra / Penumbra of the moon is beside the moon, where the shadow of the earth from the sun falls, when the moon is the full moon, at 1 AM March 27, 472 BC.
The Passover is on the full moon. The Passover on the 14th lunar day is counting from the moon's first visibility. The Passover when Jesus was crucified there was a partial lunar eclipse at 7:30 PM Jerusalem time. Therefore, the exact Umbra / Penumbra of the moon is one hour earlier than this 1 AM, is 12 AM, March 27, 472 BC = midnight the day before = 11:59 PM March 26, 472 BC.
Thus, the battle of Salamis this same September 27 / 28, 472 BC.
The sun darkened at noon on the Passover, March 27, 472 BC like it was when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD = the sun darkened in spring when Xerxes began his journey to Greece. The sun must return half an orbit later, a sign on the last great day of the feast of tabernacles, on the battle of Salamis, September 27, 472 BC = the omen for the Spartans to let Xerxes go:
These sun miracles on the start of Xerxes campaign, March 27, 472 BC and on the battle of Salamis, September 27, 472 BC point to God taking action both to point to Jesus and in the battle of Xerxes in the battle of Salamis.
"The reason of Cleombrotus’ leading his army away from the Isthmus was that while he was offering sacrifice for victory over the Persian the sun was darkened in the heavens."
Thus, the sun returning half an orbit later at the battle of Salamis = both eclipses = sun miracles, in the spring of Xerxes' campaign and in the fall at the battle of Salamis.
The edge of the solar eclipse Monday, April 8, 2024 is unclear. We do not know the size of the sun, and the moon is not all smooth. God put the sun back after each sun miracle but there may be slight differences in our projections and observations.
Archeological Finds Shed Light on Ancient Greek Battle of Salamis "Late-night and early-morning northwest winds, or Etesian winds, in the Saronic Gulf, combined with local south sea breezes in the late morning, trapped the Persian fleet in the narrow Strait of Salamis during the afternoon, leading to a Greek victory in the early evening. This particular wind pattern is still present today and takes place mainly from May to September, when the sun is especially strong,"
The season of wind changes up to the end of September.
The father of Luh-ching was Duke Ching of Sung. He witnessed Mars in the heart constellation of Scorpius, where it would not normally be then in 480 BC in October. Mars should be in Leo in September of 480 BC - that is 90° from the heart constellation in Scorpius. See Mars.
Luh-ching succeeded his father in the 11th month in 464 BC = the 12th month of Adar of Purim in Esther, the 13th of Adar, about the time Lu Yang witnessed the setting sun retreat to the meridian on China.
The battle of Marathon was dated to September 12, 490 BC = the 17th day of the seventh month. The date must be brought forward 10 years to September 480 BC.
The battle of Marathon of Darius I was fought about this solar eclipse of October 2, 480 BC = ten years more recent than the date of 490 BC.
The battle of Marathon may have been fought in 482 BC, 8 years more recent than 490 BC, just as the battle of Salamis was fought in 472 BC 8 years more recent than 480 BC.
Darius reigned 31 years from 509 BC to 478 BC.
Ptolemy recorded a lunar eclipse in Darius I 31st year, August 28, 478 BC:
Or, Darius I 31st year from 509 BC = not April 25, 490 BC, but, March 14, 479 BC = 31st year from 509 BC, also in spring:
Nevertheless, March 25, 480 BC is the same date, one month earlier, 11 years later, April 25, 491 BC.
There was a sun miracle recorded in China in September 480 BC at the time Darius was in the battle of Marathon.
You can see the path of the partial solar eclipse on October 2, 480 BC:
The first portent in spring:
"The army waited for winter to pass.. At the very beginning of its journey, the sun left its seat in the heavens and disappeared; and although the sky had been especially clear and cloudless, day was now eclipsed into night. Xerxes himself observed this and grew concerned. He asked the Magi what the portent meant. They told him that the God was showing the Hellenes in advance that he would abandon their cities, since the sun is the prophetic symbol for the Hellenes, while for the Persians it is for the moon."
"The eclipse cannot be confirmed by astronomical calculations."
The Landmark Herodotus. 7.37.2a
"The exact dating has been debated, as the writings of Herodotus (who chronicled the eclipse) give a date for which there was no eclipse visible in that area of the world."
Thus, the possibility this portent was at the Passover in the spring = the sun moved around the earth at the speed of light = "left its seat in the heavens and disappeared". The sun darkened on the Passover March 27, 472 BC as it was when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD.
No solar eclipses match the given date of 480 BC "The eclipse cannot be confirmed by astronomical calculations.", nor the correct time 8 years more recent of 472 BC. Nor do any solar eclipses match the second portent in the fall.
The second portent in fall:
"Kleombrotus had led the army back from the isthmus because as he was sacrificing to determine what to do about the Persians, the sun was darkened in the heavens..the troops..then marched out of Sparta."
The Landmark Herodotus, 9.10.3. The Spartans send their army north. p.669.
The Olympiad was in 480 BC = the year of the battle of Salamis. Only the battle of Salamis was 8 years more recent also on the year of the Olympiad. The Olympiad was every four years from 776 BC. The date in The Landmark Herodotus, 9.10.3. The Spartans send their army north. p.669 in 480 BC.
"And they continued to delay from day to day in this matter ten days in all. Meanwhile the Peloponnesians were working as hard as they could on the wall..the wall not yet finished..the sun was darkened in the heavens.."
The Landmark Herodotus. 9.9.3a p.669.
September 15, 472 BC, the tenth day of the seventh month, (the battle of Salamis was probably September 27, 472 BC) was the day of Atonement = 500 years to the 50 year jubile when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. Yom Kippur, September 15, 472 BC to September 12, 29 AD or October 9, 29 AD, there is no year zero, 472 + 28 = 500 years.
Thus, if the sun was darkened, and not just grazed by the moon, this darknened sun may be a sun miracle in the seventh year of King Xerxes in the time of the book of Esther.
The omen, the sun left its place in the sky, for the Spartans to let the Persians go on the 22nd day of the 7th month - that cannot be a solar eclipse, September 27, 472 BC would be on the last day of tabernacles.
The date of October means a sun miracle about October. There was a partial solar eclipse October 2, 480 BC, but the actual date must be 8 years more recent in 472 BC, and no solar eclipses in 472 BC match either = the solar eclipses must be sun miracles six months apart.
The 7th year of Xerxes from 478 BC is 472 BC, or from 477 BC is 471 BC. The Olympiad of 480 BC is the Olympiad of 472 BC.
A sun miracle in the seventh Hebrew month, such as September 27, 472 BC on the last day of the feast of Tabernacles, a jubile year from Yom Kippur, September 15, 472 BC to foretell Jesus speaking 500 years later, 10 X 50 year jubiles, from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, October 7, 29 AD.
Esther 2:16 "So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
2:17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
2:18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king."
The seventh year of Xerxes from 478 BC = the seventh year of release, is 472 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking in Luke 4, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
The Olympic games in Greece would normally be in this 472 BC, not 480 BC, from 776 BC, and the battle of Salamis in September of 472 BC.
The return of Kleombrotos when the sun was darkened in the heavens was at the battle of Salamis, September 27, 472 BC.
There are no satisfactory total solar eclipse matches for these portents.
A sun miracle in September 27, 472 BC is 500 years, 10 X 50 year jubiles, to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, probably October 7, 29 AD.
The sun rising in the west to the meridian noon position in China recorded by Lu Yang may mean the sun went down in the east in Israel.The darkness in Israel may equal the same sun miracle of Lu Yang may equal the light of Purim of Esther = the sun setting in the east and rising from the east.
The sun rising in the west in China = the noon sun setting in the east in Israel / Egypt, Lu Yang and Purim of Esther in 465 BC, 230 BC in China, and Hanukkah and Emperor Wen in 164 BC.
"and twice setting where he now rises" in 230 BC.
"Helius, already in mid career, wrested his chariot about and turned his horses' heads towards the dawn."
"Then the army, having wintered at Sardis and now being fully equiped, began its march the following spring from Sardis to Abydus. As it was departing, the sun left its place in the sky and vanished - though it was clear and cloudless weather - and the day gave place to night. Seeing and marking this, Xerxes became anxious and inquired of the Magi as to the significance of this portent. He was told that the God was foretelling to the Greeks the eclipse of their cities, for it was the sun that gave forewarning to the Greeks, just as the moon did for the Persians. Reassured by this reply, Xerxes continued with the march."
The Greek Histories, [7:37]
Then the possibility this was a total solar eclipse or a sun miracle.
Esther 2:16 "So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign."
September usually was the seventh month of the year, Sept = seven. God may have darkened the sun to help Xerxes in the battle of Salamis.
The second portent in fall:
"At the very beginning of its journey, the sun left its seat in the heavens and disappeared; and though the sky had been especially clear and cloudless, the day was now eclipsed into night. Xerxers himself observed this and grew concerned. He asked the Magi what this portent meant. They told him it was the god showing the Hellenes in advance that he would abandon their cities, since the sun is the prophetic symbol for the Hellenes, while for the Persians it is the moon. When Xerxes heard this, he rejoiced and continued his march."
Note: "This eclipse cannot be confirmed from astronomical calculations."
The Landmark Herodotus. 7.37.2. p.514.
The fact no eclipse records match is a sign these dates are several years too far back.
The year 480 BC is given. It should be year 472 BC. The sun did not disappear in a total solar eclipse in the years around 472 BC.
This may not be a solar eclipse, but rather a sun miracle. "the sun left its seat" may mean the sun moved and disappeared in the east or west.
431 BC:
"1st year/Summer HELLAS. An eclipse of the sun."
"The same summer, at the beginning of a new lunar month, the only time, by the way, at which it appears possible, the sun was eclipsed after noon. After it had assumed the form of a crescent and some of the stars had come out, it returned to its natural shape."
The Landmark Thucydides, A comprehensive guide to the Peloponnesian War, p. 107.
The total solar eclipse record for August 3, 431 BC, 5:22 PM, that was total north of Athens may be in Artaxerxes' 27th year and not his 34th year.
There were four partial solar eclipses more recent than August 3, 431 BC:
The solar eclipse of 426 BC, five years more recent, was on November 4:
The solar eclipse of 424 BC, seven years more recent, was on March 21:
The solar eclipse of 423 BC was on March 10:
The solar eclipse of 418 BC, 13 years more recent, was on June 11 in summer as was the August 3, 431 BC solar eclipse:
But only the solar eclipse for August 3, 431 BC was total.
"There were earthquakes of unparalleled extent and violence. Eclipses of the sun occurred with a frequency unrecorded in previous history."
The Geek Histories. p.140.
Alexander the Great died not in 323 BC but eleven years more recent in 312 BC.
Artaxerxes reigned 41 years from 458 BC, not from 465 BC = seven years more recent.
"Mister Johnson, however, on the ground that the eclipse was more partial than had been thought. (The obscuration not exeeding 7 tenths of the width of the sun) proposes to substitute for it that of March 30, 433 BC..I would submit that it is quite impossible that all the events of the campaign as narated by Thucydides could have occurred before that time.
We have the intent of the Thebans to surprise Plataea and its failure; the march of the Spartan army into Boeobia unto king Archidamus; the long and ineffectual seige of CEnoe; the slow march into Attica; the long encampment at Archarne; the final retreat of Archidanus, on finding he could not succeed on drawing the Athenians, restrained by Pericles into an engagement."
"It was only after the retreat had actually begun that the latter fitted out a naval force to ravage the coasts of the Peloponnesians, and it was at this embarkation of this that Pericles, according to Plutarch, held up his cloak to re-assure the pilot, frightened by the eclipse, and told him the only difference between that and the phenomenon was that something larger than his cloak caused the obscuration of the sun"
"The solar eclipse occurred during the first year of the Peloponnesian war" "It was only as the retreat had already begun" "the visibility of a few stars" "The obscuration was larger than his cloak" "Occurred earlier in the day" "before noon"
The Eclipse of Pericles. p.198. SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System."Astronomers discover oldest known eclipse reference in 6,000-year-old Hindu text"
Eclipses can be sun miracles. Precession of the equinox changes, such as in Yao's canon, can change the zodiak forward or backward. This equals this eclipse on the spring equinox that may not be the assumed date. A sun miracle ten days before the spring equinox, April 1, 2315 BC, (the equinox was April 11, 2315 BC) made for a difference in Yao's Canon equaled a 1,400 years more recent in precession of the equinoxes.
The August 3, 431 total solar eclipse would be total north of Athens, but - "Ten digits are not enough to bring out stars" but if the location was further north, the stars would appear.
The path of totality is very far north of Greece:
If August 3, 431 BC is the correct solar eclipse, the chronology must nevertheless be brought some ten years more recent.
Artaxerxes died not in 424 BC, but seven years more recent in 417 BC. Artaxerxes reigned from 458 BC to 417 BC.
431 BC would be Artaxerxes I' 34th year from 465 BC. But Xerxes died in his 21st year in 458 BC.
Thus, from 458 BC, 431 BC would be Artaxerxes' 27th year.
Possibly the eclipse record may be a sun miracle in 422 BC the noon day sun in Israel is the noon day sun in Athens, perhaps the new moon, Sunday, August 24, 422 BC to mark 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
For the stars to come out this can only be a total solar eclipse or a sun miracle.
431 BC was in Artaxerxes' 27th year not his 34th year.
Thus, the solar eclipse record for August 3, 431 BC may be true, but the year of Artaxerxes must be his 27th year, not his 34th year.
If this record was for nine years more recent in 422 BC, this eclipse record may be a sun miracle.
422 BC was 450 years before Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on the 10th day of the 7th month, on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, the day of Atonement.
A jubile year began with Yom Kippur, the 10th day, rather than on the first day, of the lunar month.
Thus, the significance of the 430th year in Exodus, 2737 BC - 430 years = 2307 BC Jacob enter Egypt on the new year that had backed up 430 / 4 = 107 days from July 16 that was April 1, 2307 BC and the Exodus the same date March 30, 1281 BC at the end of the Egyptian sothis calendar 1456 years.
Genesis 11:17 "And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters."
And other years that are recorded as 403 years but may be 430 years:
Genesis 11:13 "And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
Genesis 11:15 "And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
The missing letters 300 + 300 leaving 400 + 30. See Judaism 101, Hebrew Alphabet. Thus, from the Sothis year 430 in 2307 BC to the end of the Sothis cycle is what was written. Yet the duration could be written in Hebrew 400 .. 30 as well. Thus, the confusion of the years 430: The captivity was 400 years, the last 400 years of the 1026 year Sojourn in Egypt.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was fourH702 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 years.H8141"
H702 אַרְבָּעָה אַרְבַּע 'arba‛ 'arbâ‛âh ar-bah', ar-baw-aw' The second form is the masculine form; from H7251; four: - four. Total KJV occurrences: 318
H3967 מֵאיָה מֵאָה mê'âh mê'yâh may-aw', may-yaw' Probably a primitive numeral; a hundred; also as a multiplicative and a fraction: - hundred ([-fold], -th), + sixscore. Total KJV occurrences: 581
H7970 שְׁלֹשִׁים שְׁלוֹשִׁים shelôshı̂ym shelôshı̂ym shel-o-sheem', shel-o-sheem' Multiple of H7969; thirty; or (ordinal) thirtieth: - thirty, thirtieth. Compare H7991. Total KJV occurrences: 172
H8141 שָׁנָה שָׁנֶה shâneh shânâh shaw-neh', shaw-naw' (The first form being in plural only, the second form being feminine); from H8138; a year (as a revolution of time): - + whole age, X long, + old, year (X -ly). Total KJV occurrences: 812
Exodus 12:40 - 41:
Thus, the written Hebrew for four hundred and thirty years is used. Nevertheless, originally the short hand for 4 100 30 may have been used.
The end of the 430 years counted from Sothis year 430 2307 BC from 2637 BC to the end of the Sothis 1456 years later in 1281 BC.
Counting the time from the Sojourn into Egypt April 3, 2307 BC to the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC = 1026 years = 300 + 300 + 400 + 30 years.
Thus, perhaps the significance of the year 402 BC being 430 years before Jesus began his ministry on the day Yom Kippur, perhaps September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Nevertheless, the 430 years is 430 years sothis from 2737 BC = 2307 BC, and the end of the 430 years is the end of the sothis in 1281 BC.
The take away is the 430 years is from Jacob's Sojourn into Egypt in Sothis year 430 and the Exodus at the end of the Sothis calendar. Thus, 430 years is a date, not the period of time in Egypt.
The thirtieth year of the 50 year jubile was this very year 611 BC. Back from 591 BC 11 years of Zedekiah, then back 11 years of Joiakim is 613 BC. 31 years for Josiah = 644 BC to 613 BC. Amon reigned two years from 646 BC to 644 BC.
Isaiah 38:19 "The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
Isaiah had no son when he wept and God gave him a sign the sun retreated ten steps across the sky to set in the east, March 703 BC. Thus, Manasseh was born in 700 BC.
Manasseh 55 years to 645 BC = 55 years old from 700 BC = 12 years old when his father Hezekiah died in 688 BC. Then Jehoiachim's fifth year was 611 BC which also was the thirtieth year of the count of the fiftieth jubile ending September 7, 591 BC. Then Jehoiachim was taken in 610 BC which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, because Nebuchadnezzar's nineteenth year was the captivity in 591 BC.
Some years appear to overlap due to rounding.
"In his (King K'ing) 6th year (612 BC), a comet entered the Great Bear"
The Chinese Classics
Back 390 years from this 30th year of the 50 year jubile from 1241 BC: 611 BC + 390 = 1001 BC after Solomon died and in his son Rehoboam's 5th year; 1044 - 40 = 1004, 5th year Rehoboam = 1001 BC, and the kingdom was taken from Judah. Then 40 more years back to the beginning of the building of the Temple in Jerusalem in 1041 BC. From Solomon's first year in 1044 BC is his 38th year in 1007 BC. Thus, the 38 years of Jesus' life and 1007 BC be 1000 years before Jesus' birth. 390 + 40 = 430. In he 430th Sothis year, 2307 BC, Jacob and his sons came down to Egypt to sojourn.
2 Kings 24:1 "In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him."
3 years from 611 BC is 607 BC = 600 years to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
2 Kings 24:12b "In the eighth year of the King of Babylon he took Jehoiachin prisoner."
This should be eleven years back from the captivity of Jerusalm in 591 BC. Back 11 years is 602 BC.
Nebuchadnezzar's 8th year = Zedekiah's first year in 602 BC. Nebucadnezzar's first year be 611 BC. Zedekiah's fifth year 597 BC, 390 years = 207 BC = 200 years to Jesus' birth, (390 + 40 = 430 years) + 40 years = 167 BC = 200 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, = the Greeks pollute the temple in 167 BC, and in 164 BC the Maccabees consecrate the temple.
This is the Grecian Era from 312 BC to 164 BC, not 159 years, not from 323 BC, but 148 years from 312 BC to 164 BC.
Counting from the sixth year of Alexander in 312 BC:
These are the wrong dates: Alexander was King of Macedonia in 336 BC, he was King of Egypt in 332 BC, King of Persia 330 BC and Lord of Asia 331 BC. Thus, counting from 330 BC to 323 BC are seven years.
The right dates are 11 years more recent.
Thus, Alexander the Great was King of Macedonia in 325 BC not 336 BC.
"In his 42d year, (from 367 BC = 326 BC) the nine vases were sunk in the Sze, and lost in the deep...in his 45th year, Ts'oo defeated us at the Seang-ling."
The Chinese Classics, p.175.
Alexander the Great reigned 11 years more recent. Not from 336 BC, but from 325 BC. Records in the 42d year and 45th year of King Heen, may mark sun miracles in the life time of Alexander the Great.
May 334 BC, Alexander fought the battle of Granicus in the late after noon. This should be 11 years more recent and be May of 323 BC.
This battle may have been on Pentecost, Sunday, May 20, 323 BC:
Alexander the Great may have died in his sixth year and that year be 312 BC and not 323 BC. Alexander the great reigned from Persia from 318 BC six years to 312 BC.
He was succeeded by his son Alexander IV that was born the year Alexander the Great died.
So if this counting from Alexander is from 329 BC, his sixth year his death in 323 BC. But if counting from 318 BC, Alexander's sixth year and death be in 312 BC.
Thus, Alexander the Great may have died 11 years more recent than 323 BC in this 312 BC. The same pattern from King Darius from 509 BC 32 years to Xerxes in 477 BC. Xerxes not from 486 BC but ten years more recent from 477 BC = the wall of Jerusalem built in his 20th year in 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"In his (King Yin's) second year, 312 BC, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit. Wei made Chang E its prime minister."
The Chinese Classics
The Seleucid Empire (323–64 B.C.)
Then the counting from the death of Alexander the Great, not 323 BC but 312 BC.
This ten year difference appears from Darius I who reigned not from 522 BC, but from 509 BC. Likewise his son Xerxes died not in 467 BC but in 458 BC. Then perhaps the correction is made at the death of Alexander the Great possibly in 312 BC instead fo 323 BC.
Like this 402 BC, there is a pattern of 400 years in the Bible.
Genesis 11:13 "And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
Genesis 11:15 "And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
Genesis 11:17 "And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters."
Genesis 15:13 "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;"
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was from the four hundred and thirty years."
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
62 X 7 = 434 years. From 402 BC are 434 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Adding these 6 generations from Noah's flood: 3307 BC one year flood to 3306 BC, 2 years to Arphaxad 35, Salah 30, Eber 34, Peleg 30, Rue 32, Serug 30, = 195 years. Abraham born 2607 BC when Terah 70, Terah born 2677 BC, Nahor 29 = 2707 BC, from the new Egyptian sothis cycle 2637 BC.
Arphaxad at 35 years = Jesus age when he began his ministry September/October of 29 AD because Jesus must have been born September 12, 7 BC.
"Serug grew up and dwelt in Ur of the Chaldees.. and took to himself a wife..in the thirty-sixth jubilee in the fifth week in the first year..She gave birth to Nahor, in the first year of this week..
'In the thirty-seventh jubilee, in the sixth week, in the first year of it he took to himself a wife..And she gave birth to Terah in the seventh year of this week.."
The Books of Enoch, p.316
Serug was born about the same time Ur was founded, about 2900 BC.
From Noah's flood in 3307 BC to Abraham's birth in 2607 BC are 700 years, about 23 generations, to travel south from the Aral Sea to the city of Ur.
The oldest writing is the Kish tablet from 3500 BC.
"World's Oldest Alphabet Found on an Ancient Clay Gift Tag" from 2400 BC.
Abraham was born in this same year of the King of Ur, 2607 BC. Ur became the most prosperous city about this 2600 BC. Terah had left Ur after Abraham was born. Then Abraham left his father Terah at Haran when Terah died, on the way to the promised land, at 75 years of age, in the Egyptian sothis year 205 from 2737 BC, in 2532 BC.
Thus Nahor 37 X 49 = 1813 years; from 4568 BC = 2755 BC. Nahor may live to Egyptian Sothis year 119 = 2618 BC from about this 2755 BC = about 137 years.
Thus Terah 38 X 49 = 1862; from 4568 BC = 2707 BC = 2700 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Terah may have lived 175 years to Egyptian Sothis year 205 from 2737 BC to 2532 BC.
+ 403 years = 3110 BC + this 195. Arphaxad in 3306 BC is 195 years to Serug in 3110 BC.
Thus, with this 403 year gap there is no missing years from Noah to Abraham.
From Noah's flood in 3307 BC to Abraham born 2607 BC are 700 years.
The 430 years could be an Egyptian sothis date = 2767 BC. That is the full sothis cycle 1460 years = 2737 BC, and 1430 years = 2767 BC. The third generation, Eber, 35 + 30 + 34 = 99 years. 3304 BC - 99 years = 3205 BC is 438 years to this 1,430th year in 2767 BC. Jacob entered Egypt in the 430th year, 2307 BC. The 430th year of Eber may have foretold Israel entering Egypt in the Egyptian Sothis year 430 from the new sothis in 2737 BC. The 400th year would equal 2797 BC and be 1000 years since the beginning of the Egyptian Sothis cycle in 4197 BC.
3307 BC flood to 3306 BC, Arphaxad born two years after = 3304 BC, lived 35 years to 3269 BC = 3300 years to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. Joseph and Mary left Bethlehem in fear of Herod when Jesus was two years old. This 3304 BC of Arphaxad, 3307 BC the flood less one year to step out of the ark, less two years for Arphaxad to be born, may be like the 4 BC in April when Herod died, and Joseph and Mary returned to Nazareth with Jesus.
There was a 10 BC record, year 48 of cycle 60, of a comet whose description was exactly the same as Halley's comet in 12 BC. This ghost record in 10 BC seemed to be made up to accompany an earthquake that year as part of a bad omen.
Jesus must have been born about September 12, 7 BC two years after the nine suns appeared in China February 10, 9 BC on the Hebrew lunar day 17. Chinese dates are exact. Thus, we do not need to know how the Chinese astronomers got this date for this event, so long as the record of this event took place, the date should be correct. If this was a pattern of Noah's flood, then there should be a sun miracle the same lunar day 17, 150 days back from the Armenian Sothis new years July 11 = February 10. All described in Genesis 6, 7 and 8.
Two and a half orbits after February 10, 9 BC is the 17th day of the month, perhaps the seventh month, August 15, 7 BC; perhaps when Jesus was born.
Purim of Esther, the 13, 14 and 15th of the 12th month may be this February 10, 9 BC. The 15th Hebrew lunar day may be this same 17th day.
Esther 9:18 "But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness."
Arcturus would pass directly over Jerusalem in 16 BC or 18 BC when Herod began to rebuild the temple and the 49 year jubile. That is, Bethlehem is 4 miles south of Jerusalem. Arcturus passes 2,000 feet south a year. From 5 BC to 16 BC are eleven years; 11 X 2,000 feet = 22,000 feet. 22,000 feet divided by a mile of 5,280 feet is four miles.
Half an orbit before the 17th lunar day, February 10, 9 BC, is the 17th lunar day, August 17, 10 BC = the same date of Jesus' birth, the 17th lunar day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC. And this just three years before Jesus was born.
One year after Thursday, August 17, 10 BC is the new moon Saturday, August 17, 9 BC.
Then Jesus' birth also, the 17th day of the 7th month, the pattern from Noah's flood. And like Arphaxad was born two years after the flood, to be a type and pattern, Jesus must be born two and a half years after the sun miracle of February 10, 9 BC.
The sun miracle of February 10, 504 BC = the third day of Adar when the second temple was finished also equals February 10.
Note the February 10, 504 eclipse record at the bottom of this eclipse page. February 10, 504 BC was not a solar eclipse. It was not even a new moon, it was the third day of the lunar month of Adar. The year and day are of cycle 60, and thus the date is correct. A solar eclipse at noon in China is a solar eclipse at sunrise in Israel - only this was not a solar eclipse!
Year of reign 15, year of cycle 33, lunar month 3, day 48 of cycle 60. From King King''s first year in 518 BC 15th year is 510 BC. From 2636 BC to 510 BC is year 33 of cycle 60 is 510 BC.
Simply from King King's first year in 518 BC the 15th year cannot be 505 BC 518 BC - 14 years = 504 BC; 518 BC - 13 years = 505 BC. The year is the 15th year, and cannot be -13 years, but the current year the 15th year. Neither can year 33 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC be 505 BC but 504 BC.
Three solar eclipse records are not visible and are not eclipses: the solar eclipse for 591 BC is not visible, and the solar eclipses for July 19, 549 BC and September 19, 552 BC were not solar eclipses.
The solar eclipse September 7, 591 BC is the fall of Jerusalem - not an eclipse. The solar eclipse of 644 BC is when Manasseh King of Judah was 55 from 600 BC, and must be a sun miracle 38 years before 507 BC that equals the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life in reverse to his birth about September 12, 7 BC.
The solar eclipse record for 644 BC in month 5 does not match any solar eclipse. Month 5 may be in May the month of Pentecost.
Thus, James Legge in the Chinese Classics was right to point out the solar eclipses for 644 BC, 591 BC, 557 BC, 552 BC and 549 BC were no eclipses.
During a reverse orbit there may be no solar eclipses.
Nevertheless, a solar eclipse on earth may be made to match normal eclipse paths in a reverse orbit.
Likewise 507 BC = 500 years to 7 BC, was the second year of Darius when the foundation of the second temple was laid. Likewise, the sun miracle of February 10, 504 BC was the sixth year of Darius, the third day of the month of Adar when the temple was finished.
Perhaps the 430 years were fulfilled with Jacob entering Egypt in the Egyptian Sothis year 430, 2307 BC, 2300 years before the birth of Christ in 7 BC.
There are some traces of solar activity in these early years. Physical evidence of sun movement is hard to find. The traces of solar cycles most likely are not related to sun movements. Nevertheless, here is a sample of the results of solar research:
From the Sun in Time:
A Millennial Solar Cycle? "The average period of oscillation for the strong salinity cycles is ~2500 varve yr. Increased variance associated with this millennial cycle is distributed over a band of the spectrum corresponding to periodicities between 1800 to 3000 yr, with the maximum spectral density somewhere between 2500 and 2700 varve years (Anderson 1982)..a 2400 year cycle has been identified in C14 in tree rings.."
The Sun in Time, p.561.
"the carbonate profile of the GT89/3 core (starting at 1690 BC) and the tree-ring data have been folded and superposed. ..radio carbon series have 3 well-defined, separate maxima at periods of about 179 yr, 205 yr, and 226 yr.."
The Sun in Time, p.572.
The 400 years of slavery in Egypt began in 1681 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC. The Shang dynasty in China began in this 1677 BC also.
The 400 years = 1681 BC to 1281 BC. 1460 years of the sothis calendar less 400 years = 1060 years = the calendar backed up 265 days, 4 years a day = 100 more days in 400 years = 365 days.
This Egyptian sothis year from 2737 BC = year 1060 = 1681 BC = 265 days the new year backed up to October 26, 1681 BC. If the Egyptian end of the year was 5 days after July 16 instead of 5 days before July 16, then this 265 days new year would be October 20, 1681 BC = the same date October 7, 29 AD = Israel new years on Yom Kippur when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur on October 7, 29 AD.
1681 years / 128 = 13 days the calendar had drifted. Therefore, this October 7, 29 AD in 1681 BC was equal to October 20, 1681 BC. The jubile year would begin on the tenth day of the seventh month, Yom Kippur, instead of the first day of the seventh month. Both the Egyptian new years and the Israel new years on the same date in October.
From the spring equinox April 2, 1681 BC to the fall equinox, October 3, 1681 BC.
400 years from the new moon March 30, 1681 BC to the full moon March 30, 1281 BC.
Some isotopes have a half life of 2.3 minutes, some millions of years, C14 has a half life of 5730 years. Thus, it may be possible to detect missing time very accurately one day. However, there is no missing time at all. Only within a reverse orbit, of one or two years, may there be missing time up to 48 or 96 hours.
The pursuit of physical evidence may be pointless. There may be no physical evidence. The best evidence is in the Bible, God's word.
Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
Back 2300 days from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is the full moon Friday, December 13, 26 AD when Jesus was 32 years old. Hanukkah was December 12, 164 BC. Jesus was born about September 12, 7 BC and conceived nine months earlier about December 12, 8 BC.
Jesus began his three and a half year ministry at 35 years of age, either September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD to his crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
Ezekiel 40:1 "In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate."
The High Priest went into the Holiest of Holies on this tenth day of the first month of the civil year in September.
"the self same day" from the destruction of Jerusalem the seventh day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC - the 14th year 577 BC.
The civil year began in September. The tenth day of the seventh month in 577 BC was September 7, 577 BC = "the self same day" September 7, 591 BC.
The tenth day of the first month of spring began the four days the children of Israel were to bring the lamb into their homes till the 14th day they sacrificed the lamb for the Passover.
Jesus entered Jerusalem on Sunday, March 29, 33 AD on Palm Sunday.
John 12:12 "On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt."
Exodus 12:3 "Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:"
Joshua 4:19 "And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho."
Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC was this tenth day of the first month.
Sunday, March 13, 577 BC was this tenth day of the first month of spring.
"the self same day" the 10th day of the beginning of the civil year in September. The destruction of Jerusalem on the seventh day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC = the same time of the year as this tenth day of the seventh month of September.
The tenth day of the seventh month in this 14th year from the destruction of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC, is September 7, 577 BC = the "self same day" September 7.
Thus, counting from the 49 year jubile in 605 BC less two years, and from the 50 year jubile in 591 BC = the same 577 BC.
From the 49 year jubile in 605 BC are 14 years to the 50 year jubile and captivity in 591 BC. From the crossing of the Jordan in the jubile year 1241 BC are 14 years to 1227 BC = the first year of emperor Te-sin in China. From 1241 BC are 21 years to 1221 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
The 49 year jubile counting from 1242 BC and the 50 year jubile counting from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
Back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD 2300 days = this December 14, 26 AD = the 14th day of the month = the full moon.
Back 2300 days from Hanukkah, Saturday, December 12, 164 BC, is the new moon Wednesday, August 27, 170 BC, to begin the seventh month, the day Rosh Hashanah.
Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
Thus, from the abomination that maketh desolate to the sanctuary being cleansed are these 2300 days.
2300 days back from the full moon = Passover = April 6, 568 BC is the full moon December 16, 575 BC. Ezekiel wrote from the time of Daniel.
Nebucadnezzar reigned 43 years from 611 BC to 568 BC. Perhaps there was a sun miracle in 568 BC taken as an omen to remove Nebucadnezzar.
Pharaoh Amasis II began his reign not in 570 BC, but 4 years further back, like Jerusalem was destroyed in 591 BC not 587 BC.
Thus Pharaoh Amasis II began his reign in 574 BC, in Nebucadnezzar's 37th year.
King Ling began as emperor over China in 570 BC.
2300 days back from the full moon March 22, 545 BC is the full moon, December 1, 552 BC. There was a solar eclipse record for the tenth month in 552 BC or 551 BC in China that was not an eclipse, but may be a sun miracle.
The tenth month, 17th of cycle 60, was September 19, 552 BC was the new moon, but no solar eclipse. December 552 BC could be this tenth Chinese month counting from spring. Or September be the tenth month counting from December.
This year 20 of King Lin from 570 BC is 551 BC. There was a solar eclipse on day 47 of cycle, August 20, 552 BC.
Here you see a solar eclipse for August 20, 552 BC on day 47 of cycle 60, on the 46 year of cycle 60, on the 19th year of King Lin:
Here you see the solar eclipse for June 19, 549 BC, on day 1 of cycle 60, on the 49 year of cycle 60, on the 23rd year of King Lin:
Both these solar eclipses were followed a month later with a recorded solar eclipse that did not occur:
No solar eclipse for September 19, 552 BC:
No solar eclipse for July 18, 549 BC:
Counting the 40th year from Nebuchadnezzar's capture of Jerusalem in September 7, 591 BC is the new moon September 19, 552 BC and this recorded solar eclipse that was not an eclipse.
Ezekiel 29:11 "No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
29:13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:"
The fortieth year from the destruction of Jerusalem in 591 BC is this 552 BC.
Jeremiah 31:17 "And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border."
Cyrus reigned 30 years from 548 BC to 518 BC. Amel-Marduk riegned three years from 551 BC to 548 BC.
Nebuchadnezzar II may have reigned 43 years, not from 605 BC to 562 BC, but 43 years from 611 BC to 568 BC = 100 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Then there be a gap of 12 years.
King Nebuchadnezzar to 561 BC; 2 years for Evilmerodach to 559 BC, 4 years for Neriglissar to 555 BC, 17 years for Nabonidus to 538 BC and Cyrus the Great 30 years to 518 BC,
2 Kings 25:27 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;"
Thus, 37 years from 591 BC is 554 BC = the death of Nebuchadnezzar II. 37 years from the captivity of King Zedekiah in 591 BC and not of King Jehoiachin in 605 BC
Then Cyrus reigned 9 years in Babylon from 527 BC to 518 BC. This leaves two years for Evilmerodach king of Babylon to 552 BC,.
Then four years (maybe seven years because the destruction of Jerusalem was in 591 BC and not 587 BC a difference of four years) for Neriglissar king of Babylon to 545 BC, and 17 years for Nabonidus king of Babylon to 527 BC, and Cyrus the Great 9 years to 518 BC, and Cambyses II 8 years to 509 BC and Darius the Great.
The full moon on March 11, 522 BC Bardiya ascended the throne from Cambyses. This should be the full moon and the Passover on March 16, 509 BC.
On the 10 day moon, September 29, 522 BC Bardiya was defeated. This should be the 10th day and Yom Kippur, September 4, 509 BC.
There could be a sun miracle on the Passover and half an orbit later on the 22 day moon of the 7th month, the last day of tabernacles.
There may be a sun miracle on the 1st day of the first month and half an orbit later on the 10th day of the 7th month, September 4, 509 BC on Yom Kippur.
Ezekiel 45:18 "Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:"
This 545 BC begins the 17 year reign of Nabonidus to Cyrus the Great in 527 BC.
From Nabonidus in 545 BC to the second year of Darius in 507 BC are 38 years; pointing to the 38.5 years of Jesus' life.
"His (King King) 1st year was ting-sze (54th of cycle 60 =, B.C. 543).
The Chinese Classics, p.165.
Thus, perhaps a sun miracle in 545 BC that the Chinese took as an omen for a new emperor.
From 591 BC to 552 BC are 39 years; again the 39 years may point to the 38.5 years of Jesus' life.
The 17th day in September could be like Jesus' birth the 17th day of the seventh month. From the captivity in 591 BC to the first year of Cyrus is more than 40 years.
That is, Cyrus was King of Persia not from 559 BC but 13 years more recent from 546 BC = 545 BC = 38 years to the second year of Darius when the foundation of the temple was laid in 507 BC.
Cyrus was King of Babylon not from 539 BC but from 527 BC 9 years to 518 BC and the first year of King King in China.
Cyrus was King of Persia from 559 BC. Because Darius the Great reigned from 509 BC and not 522 BC = 13 years more recent, Cyrus must also reign from 545 BC. Thus, 545 BC was 500 and 38 years from Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC. The 38 years of Jesus' perfect life in reverse to his birth. Many sun miracles were on years ending in X45 BC, such as the solar eclipse record of 645 BC in China that was not an eclipse, at the death of King Manasseh.
Cyrus may have begun his reign in 552 BC perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle that God meant to be for that purpose. 552 BC was the 40th year from the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC.
Nevertheless, with the chronology 13 years more recent, Cyrus may have begun his reign in 545 BC. Then these verses also may be written in 545 BC. There are 19 verses and 23 matches to Cyrus in 2 Chronicles, Isaiah, Ezra and Daniel.
Isaiah 44:28 "That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid."
Isaiah 45:1 "Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;"
2 Chronicles 36:22 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
36:23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up."
2300 days back from the full moon, April 10, 1168 BC, emperor Wu's first year, was December 21, 1175 BC. The decisive battle on day 29 of cycle 60 January 1, 1274 BC = the last day of the moon's waning before the new moon.
"the problem the chronologers had was to find a year near near the supposed date of Woo-wang, which should commence with the day sin-maou (day 28 of cycle 60)."
"the whole lunation be before the winter solstice (in 1174 BC the winter solstic be 10 days more recent than December 21 and be this January 1, 1174 BC)
1174 BC / 128 = 10 days = the winter soltice on December 21 would be on January 1, 1174 BC.
Or, 2300 days back from Wu's sixth year and last year, as emperor, April 10, 1168 BC to Wu's first year December 21, 1175 BC.
Ten days later, after December 21, 1175 BC was day 29 of cycle 60 and Wu's victory in January 1, 1174 BC.
"and entered with the bright appointment of Heaven"
"Then the duke of Chow greatly sustained the decree which Wan and Woo had received, through the space of seven years."
The Chinese Classics, The Announcement concerning Lo, p.452.
Thus probably a sun miracle in 1175 BC in the 12th month seven years to a sun miracle in 1168 BC; the first year of Ching in the spring = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Wu's 12th year, or 13th year, from his father king Wan's death in 1186 BC was in 1174 BC.
Wu's second year as emperor over China was in 1173 BC.
January 1, 1174 BC should be the last waning of the new moon, and Wu's victory. Then half an orbit later the sun move back Saturday, the first quarter moon, July 7, 1174 BC.
From Jacob entering Egypt in the second year of famine, 2307 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, are 2300 years.
2300 days back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is Saturday, December 15, 25 AD, the fifth day of the lunar month = 7 years 110 days back. Jerusalem fell September 7, 591 BC on Saturday, the seventh day of the fifth month.
2300 days from Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC = January 1, 1 AD = Anno Domini = the Year of our Lord in Latin, the calendar we use today based on Jesus' birth.
Julius Caesar started the Julian calendar the new moon January 1, 45 BC. March 15, 45 BC was the Passover, the 15th day of the third month when there was a sun miracle, darkness at noon, for one or three hours, like there was to be on Jesus' crucifixion noon, the 15th day of the third month, April 3, 33 AD = 38 years of Jesus' life in reverse to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Hanukkah was December 12, 164 BC. Jesus born September 12, 7 BC means he must have been conceived in December of 8 BC.
Ezekiel 33:21 "And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten"
The tenth month is December = Dec = 10. Thus, December 15, 25 AD is the fifth day of the tenth month = Ezekiel 33:21
2300 days back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is Saturday, December 15, 25 AD, the fifth day of the lunar month = 7 years 110 days back. Jerusalem fell September 7, 591 BC on Saturday, the seventh day of the fifth month.
There was a cold period on earth due to the sun between 3200 BC and 2800 BC.
There was a climatic optimum prior to 4000 BP. BP = before present using radio carbon dating = 1950 AD = 2000 BC.
There was a cold period from 750 BC to 400 BC.
The Sun in Time, Atmospheric C Variation Spectrum.
King Uzziah died in 751 BC. King Ngan was made emperor of China in 400 BC.
Thus from our 2000 AD, 2300 + 2300 years ago = 2600 BC = the year of the sun miracle, 2607 BC at Abraham's birth.
There were several sun miracles from 2315 BC to 2000 BC recorded in the Chinese Classics.
Noah's flood, and the sun rising in the west and setting in the east by Jewish tradition, in year 600 Armenian Sothis must occur 3307 BC.
There were several kings, both of Judah and Samaria, before Zedekiah with similar sounding names in the Bible. Jehoiachin was taken in his eighth year of his life, not the eighth year of his reign and from 615 BC. Thus, we see in his fifth year of captivity was 611 BC the 30th year counting towards the 50th jubile year in 591 BC.
King Azariah from 838 BC and King Uzziah froim 801 BC are separate people.
- Then, September 7, 591 BC must be the captivity of Jerusalem, in the fifth month, seventh day, of the fiftieth jubile year.
Daniel 9:1 "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
Darius the son of Xerxes = Ahasuerus, should be Darius II from 416 BC = 7 years more recent than 423 BC. Or 11 years more recent, in 412 BC.
Likewise, the death of Alexander the Great not 323 BC but 11 years more recent, 312 BC. That is, 4 more years more recent than this 7 year adjustment.
Likewise, the death of Hyranicus not 104 BC, but 110 BC, That is, six years further back.
Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC remains the same.
Darius II first year not 423 BC, but seven years more recent in 416 BC, and his 7th year be the 49 year jubile 409 BC = 63 X 7 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD or 9 X 49 = 441 years; from 409 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
This may be Darius the Mede at the end of Daniel's life.
Mede was a part of the Achaemenid empire founded by Cyrus the Great who became king of Persia- not in 539 BC but in 527 BC nine years to his death in 518 BC.
Thus, Darius II ruled Mede for 20 years from 416 BC to 396 BC = the 95th Olympiad from 776 BC; 776 BC - 380 years (95 X 4) = 396 BC.
Darius II may be Darius the Mede that became King at 62 years.
Dates from this period begin to be 11 years more recent and not just 7 years more recent.
180 days after their departure from Sardis, Tuesday, September 3, 401 BC = Monday, September 3, 390 BC = 11 years more recent. Cyrus' troops approached Cunaxa..by mid-afternoon the armies were ready..it was already getting dark, struck by a spear and again from behind, Cyrus II died instantly.
Persians, the Age of Great Kings, p.311.
There was a solar eclipse November 26, 390 BC reaching Persia:
Cyrus the younger died, not the fourth lunar day, September 3, 401 BC, but eleven years more recent, on the fourth lunar day, September 3, 390 BC.
Likewise, Darius II be King 10 years more recent than 423 BC, in 413 BC. Darius II would be about 62 years old when he became King in 413 BC, and be born in 474 BC.
Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
Darius II was about 62 in 413 BC. Darius II reigned 19 years from 413 BC to 494 BC.
Then Daniel may have lived to 413 BC and Darius II be this king Darius the Mede.
There are 62 weeks of years from 402 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Darius I reigned from July 509 BC to October 478 BC / 477 BC. Darius I was 20 when he began to reign, according to Herodotus, just a year too young to serve in the army. If Darius I was 62 in 509 BC he would be 94 in 477 BC - but Darius I died at 64 years of age. Darius I reigned not 35 years, but more accurately 31 years, from 509 BC to 477 BC.
Darius I was supposed to be born in 550 BC and died 64 years later in 486 BC. Darius I would be 32 when he became king and reigned 32 years to 64 years old. Thus, Darius I could not be 62 when he became king, and Darius II may instead be this 62 year old new king.
If Darius II lived to 71 years, and he began his reign of 19 years in 413 BC, he would be 52 years of age in 413 BC.
The Peloponnesian war from 431 BC to April 25, 404 BC. That may be an 11 year correction to end April 25, 393 BC from 420 BC. The 50 year jubile from 421 BC to Jesus' fulfillment on September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
The Passover Friday, April 23, 404 BC = thus the sun may have been darkened at noon be the omen to end the war, only there be an 11 year correction.
The Passover, Thursday, April 22, 393 BC may be the correct date.
Darius II quelled a rebellion by the Medes in 409 BC that should be seven years more recent = 402 BC.
Darius II died on the full moon, and Passover, Thursday, April 6, 397 BC, or 11 years more recent, Thursday, April 22, 393 BC - not in 404 BC.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Then, 62 weeks from 402 BC = April 3, 33 AD.
Daniel 9:1 "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;"
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. "
In King Wei-Leeh's 17th year from 424 BC = 407 BC.
"T'een Poo put to death his great officer Kung-sun Sun"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.169
You can see the officer's name Kung-sun Sun is the depiction of the character for Sun in Chinese. In the middle of the column, the 8th character down, a character for house above the character for sun, for year 17 above; the character again in Note 15:
Daniel 11:1 "Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him."
Daniel 12:13 "But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."
"for thou shalt rest" Daniel may have lived to be 205 years old, or 215 years old, or even this 230 years, of Adam, from 637 BC to 407 BC.
From the Septuagint:
Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years and he begat a son after his own form, and after his own image, and he called his name Seth."
Velikovsky writes: "In Ezra's time the high priest appears to have been Jonathon, son or grandson of Eliashib, whereas in the days of Nehemiah the office of high priest belonged to Eliashib..Ezra came to Jerusalem not in the seventh year of Ataxerxes I but in the seventh year of Artaxerxes II, sixty years later...Ezra 10:16 to study = l'drosh = Darius in Hebrew..the scribe may have failed to understand how Darius the Great could be referred to in this context."
Ages in Chaos, III Peoples of the Sea, The Basest of the Kingdoms, p.167
Darius II died not in 404 BC, but probably seven or eleven years more recent. Then Artaxerxes ll after him, reigned not from 404 BC but from 393 BC or from 397 BC. Artaxerxes II seventh year would then be 390 BC or 387 BC = 60 weeks to Jesus' sacrifice, 420 years from 388 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
"His 10th year, 390 BC, was Ke-ch'ow, the first year of K'ing, the duke Hwan of Tsin. In his fifteenth year (386 BC) the prince of Wei died, having enjoyed his dignity 50 years. There was a great wind, and it was dusk at noon. He, the oldest son of the duke of Tsin, fled away. In his 16th year, yih-wei = 32 = 385 BC. That is, year 32 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC, the 1st year of Keih.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.170.
The solar eclipse of November 26, 390 BC may have been the omen to make K'ing, duke Hwan of Tsin.
There was no solar eclipse seen from China in 386 BC, only November 26, 390 BC and July 3, 382 BC.
The solar eclipse November 26, 390 BC would partially cover the sun at noon in China, total in southern China, and the record belong to the previous line in year 10 not year 15:
"His (emperor Ngan) first year was kang-shin (17th of cycle 60 from 2636 BC) 400 BC.
A sun miracle in 402 BC may have been the omen for the Chinese to make Ngan emperor.
Thus, a sun miracle the Chinese may have taken as an omen to change emperors = exactly 62 weeks to Jesus' sacrifice from 402 BC.
From King Ngan's first year 62 weeks to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; 14 years, 60 weeks, is this 15th year = 387 BC. "dusk at noon" may equal a sun miracle. The darkest cloudiest day is five times brighter than the brightest office - this is a fact. So "dusk at noon" possibly a sun miracle.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
The Hebrew word for noon was called double light "the sun to go down at noonH6672".
H6672 צֹהַר tsôhar tso'-har From H6671; a light (that is, window); dual double light, that is, noon: - midday, noon (-day, -tide), window. Total KJV occurrences: 24
The solar eclipse in China, November 26, 390 BC, could have dimmed the noon day sun enough to notice:
Like the day dawned twice in 894 BC, the year 3rd of cycle 60 from 2636 BC, and not the annular solar eclipse of August 24, 897 BC.
"In his 1st year, which was ping-yin (3rd of cycle 60), when he came to the throne, there were two sunrisings in Ch'ing."
The Chinese Classics, p.152.
The emperor always came to the throne on spring.
The eclipse is annular and not total = the Chinese would not even notice the day grow dark. The year is 894 BC and not 897 BC. The month is spring = March/April, and not summer = August.
The solar eclipse prediction of Thales of Miletus that came true should be the sun darkened at the destruction of Jerusalem on September 7, 591 BC, not the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC.
The fifth month was September = the fifth month the seventh day of the fall of Jerusalem when the noon sun fell from the sky as prophesied by Amos.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire."
Jeremiah 15:9 "She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD."
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
The month of the jubile - the end of the 50th year at Yom Kippur, was November 8, 591 BC, just two months after the captivity. Then the next jubile would start in the beginning of the 50th year, September 15, 472 BC. Then the jubile, 50th year, would be from September 22 BC = the next jubile 50 years later on August/September/October 29 AD because there is no year 0.
Thus, September 29 AD - September 30 AD should be the year of the Jubile. September 23 BC should begin the 49th year. 49 year cycles counted from year 49, 1242 BC come to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. Josephus gave the fallow year 49 from September 23 BC to September 22 BC. Then the jubile, the fiftieth year, from September 22 BC to September 21 BC. Thus, Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 August/September 29 AD to begin the jubile.
Luke 6:21 "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."
The 49th year was a fallow year and 50th year was also a fallow year. Thus, those that were keeping the law hungered. Those that would weep when Jesus was crucified would be glad to see him alive after the resurrection.
The Hebrew word for blessed is asher, meaning: strait, level, happy.
Deuteronomy 33:29 "HappyH835 art thou, O Israel:"
H835 אֶשֶׁר 'esher eh'-sher From H833; happiness; only in masculine plural construction as interjection, how happy!: - blessed, happy. Total KJV occurrences: 45
Gesenius Hebrew Lexicon, 1849. p.97
1. Pr. To be straight, right,
i.q. No 2, especially of a way, and then also what is upright, erect, whence comes the significance to be firm, strong, in the Talmud.
2. To go straight forward, and generally to go on, to advance, Proverbs 9:6.
3. To go well, to prosper, to be happy;
Piel to cause to go straight, to guide right, Proverbs 23:19, Isaiah 1:17 lead right the oppressor, i.e. guide.
Proverbs 9:6 "Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding."
Proverbs 23:19 "Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way."
Isaiah 1:17 "Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."
The Greek word for blessed is markarios, meaning: enlarged, fortunate, blessed, happy.
There would also be hunger when waiting for the sun to rise, even they may have made sacrifice.
"From yi-mao (day 52) to early next morning there was fog, then three flames (a time word) ate the sun, big stars were seen."
Heji 11506
Exodus 10:22 "And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:"
Job 9:7 "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
Job 30:28 "I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation."
Luke 19:41 "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
"If thou hadst known" - these jubiles, the 49 year and the 50 year jubiles pointed to this day of Jesus' ministry. The 50 year jubile pointed to the day Jesus began his ministry, October 7, 29 AD. The 49 year jubile pointed to the day Jesus gave his life, on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD, just days after Jesus wept over Jerusalem and spoke these words.
Even there were sun miracles on years ending in X68 BC in even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice. and in years X07 BC in even 100's to Jesus' birth.
Josephus wrote there were records of sun miracles in the Temple. The scrolls of the Essenes wrote that in the last days the people would forget the year of the jubile.
The Koreans have a festival Chu Suk meaning big center from a book written in 32 AD by Kim Bu Sik. It is a festival of the night that lasts three days that falls about this August 15, the full moon August 9, 32 AD, the last quarter moon Friday, August 15, 32 AD.
The last quarter moon would be rising in China after sunset on Israel. This is a festival of the moon at night and this would be midnight in China. The moon would look blood red from China.
The Chinese counted the days after the solstices and before the equinoxes. Also, August 15 cannot be mistaken because it is about the center of the Chinese year.
Each season began 45 days before = the winter was 45 days before the winter solstice to 45 days after the winter solstice. Likewise, the spring began 45 days before the spring equinox, the summer began 45 days before the summer solstice, the fall began 45 days before the autumn equinox.
The Chinese calendar was lunar. So, lunar dates would approximate these 45 days.
Chu Suk was meant to be on the full moon. October 7, 32 AD was the full moon = half an orbit - 178 days to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Korea began to record astronomical events from about 200 BC.
Korea has one of the best responses to the Gospel.
We use the same Gregorian calendar from 1 AD on. So the Chinese matched their calendar with ours. The date is exact. Perhaps there was a sun miracle, not August 16, 32 AD, but in 29 AD on the 13th Chinese lunar day = September 9, 29 AD day, not the 15th day, as recorded by this Kim Bu Sik. The Chinese lunar day is counted from when the moon passes by the sun. The Hebrew lunar day is counted from the moon's first visibility two days later.
The 10th lunar day of the seventh Hebrew month would be Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD. This Friday, September 9 or October 7 would be Yom Kippur when Jesus would speak from Isaiah 61 on the 50th year jubile. There could be both a long night, then a long day, followed by a bright short day. Thus, in Isaiah 9 light is sprung up.
Half an orbit before Friday, September 9, 29 AD is the Hebrew new moon, March 7, 29 AD.
Half an orbit before Friday, October 7, 29 AD is the Hebrew new moon, April 5, 29 AD.
Isaiah 9:1 "Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. On those who lived in the land of deep shadows, light has shined."
John 7:52 "They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet."
Jonah, Elijah and Micah were from Galilee.
Joshua asked God both to stop the sun in the middle of the sky and to dim the sun.
Or, this was a normal day and God made the sun to revolve around the earth with earth's rotation for 12 or 24 hours. The noon sun in Hebrew is called double light "tsohar" H6672 in Amos 8:9. Then God may dim the noon day sun = the Hebrew to Damam, to dim and stop the sun.
Joshua 10:12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
The Douay-Rheims Bible:
Josue 10:12 "Then Josue spake to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, moon, toward the valley of Ajalon."
Joshua 10:13 "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
Leviticus 10:3 "Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace."
"peace" = silent = from the sun.
Deuteronomy 32:43 "Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people."
"avenged" = avenge.
Doublet Catchwords in the Leningrad Codex. p.49.
Still = damam = dim.
H1826 דָּמַם dâmam daw-mam' A primitive root (compare H1724, H1820); to be dumb; by implication to be astonished, to stop; also to perish: - cease, be cut down (off), forbear, hold peace, quiet self, rest, be silent, keep (put to) silence, be (stand), still, tarry, wait. Total KJV occurrences: 30
H5358 נָקַם nâqam naw-kam' A primitive root; to grudge, that is, avenge or punish: - avenge (-r, self), punish, revenge (self), X surely, take vengeance. Total KJV occurrences: 35
The following verse in the Hebrew New Testament uses the same Hebrew word "damam" for be still.
Mark 4:39 "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
You can see the Hebrew word for still on the far left, damam, just before the exclamation mark ! This is the word both Joshua and Jesus used in their command.
The second word below to the right is Hereg, meaning to die, also before an exclamation mark !
Inorder to leave the same daily coral line in the sea the sun must be dimmed while it stood at the noon position. Amos 8:9 the noon day sun is written double light.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
Noon = double light
Then, if this battle of Midian of Gideon is Joshua's long day, this noon day sun may be dimmed and equal this dimness in Isaiah.
Psalm 84:11" For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
That may mean the LORD shielded the sun when he made the sun stand still in the sky.
Deuteronomy 28:29 "And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee."
Job 5:14 "They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night."
Isaiah 8:22 "And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."
Gideon began his battle at night. Thus "they that walked in darkness". The sun rose in the west. Thus, the Egyptians recorded the sun rose from where it set. "light has shined". That was Joshua's long day as well. Thus, the sun stood still at noon for 24 hours = a great light. The sun set in the east. Thus, the Egyptians recorded the sun set where it normally rises at least two times. Then, the sun suddenly and brilliantly rose in the east soon after = "they saw a great light" = "A light rose in the sky".
Galilee is a deep valley, a land of deep shadows.
Job 28:3 "He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death."
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
"was up" = ascended. The other place the word is used is in Judges 1:36
Judges 1:36 "And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward."
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leniningrad Codex. p.147:
Judges 8:13 in the Hebrew Interlinear:
The difference here in Judges 8:13, is the sun ascended, not the rock ascended.
H4608 מַעֲלֶה ma‛ăleh mah-al-eh' From H5927; an elevation, that is, (concretely) acclivity or platform; abstractly (the relation or state) a rise or (figuratively) priority: - ascent, before, chiefest, cliff, that goeth up, going up, hill, mounting up, stairs. Total KJV occurrences: 19
H2775 חַרְסָה חֶרֶס cheres charsâh kheh'-res, khar'-saw From an unused root meaning to scrape; the itch; also (perhaps from the mediating idea of H2777) the sun: - itch, sun. Total KJV occurrences: 4
Both spellings "ascended" H4608 and "sun" H2775 are unique.
Judges 8:12 "And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfitedH2729 all the host."
H2729 חָרַד chârad khaw-rad' A primitive root; to shudder with terror; hence to fear; also to hasten (with anxiety): - be (make) afraid, be careful, discomfit, fray (away), quake, tremble. Total KJV occurrences: 39
"discomfitedH2729" = tremble. The earth may have trembled when God moved the sun that day.
Matthew 4:16 "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."
At lake Hula, just above the Sea of Galilee, malaria was common. Even the lake Hula was mostly drained a few years ago to stop malaria. Thus, the association with the shadow of death, of malaria, in the deep Jordan valley of Galilee. Only lake Hula served as an aquifer, and now the Sea of Galilee is murky because the lake Hula was drained. When the mistake was discovered it was too late to reverse the effect on the Sea of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee was blue before, even blue Galilee is in some hymns.
In this 29 AD in China it was recorded "A guest star trespassed against YUZUO extremely closely." YUZUO is the royal constellation. This may indicate a sun miracle in September of 29 AD.
East Asian Archaeology, p.130.
Matthew 4:16 "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."
The battle of Gideon also recorded in Isaiah 9, speaks of a great light. The sun suddenly rising in the east passing 180° west, must be brilliant to leave the same daily coral layer. Most coral require large amounts of light for successful growth. This includes damaging ultraviolet light. If the amount of sunlight is increased for the same daily coral layer during a short day, the type of light should be altered as well.
Here you see a coral from the Red Sea. Perhaps the Red Sea is named after the colour of this red coral.
Here you see one reason the Red Sea is called the Red Sea. Israel crossed the Reed Sea, the most easterly fork of the Nile River, not the Red Sea, when the water parted for Moses. In every case the Red Sea is in Hebrew the Reed Sea.
The Hebrew word for reed is this "soof". When the Hebrew was translated into Greek in the Septuagint, the translators dropped the letter "vav". This changed the meaning of the word Reed, to the similar sounding Hebrew word "saf" by mistake. "saf" in Hebrew means vestibule = a container of blood or wine = red. Thus, Reed Sea was changed to Red Sea.
Then the Greek translators further replaced the Hebrew "saf" for the Greek word Eruthros meaning red in the Greek Septuagint in 230 BC. Thus Reed sea was replaced by "red" sea. In every instance in the Old Testament, except for two misspellings, the Hebrew "soof" sea = Reed Sea = fresh water sea = reeds only grow in fresh water, is used.
Acts 10:17 the last word: G4440 πυλών pulōn poo-lone' From G4439; a gateway, door way or a building or city; by implication a portal or vestibule: - gate, porch. Total KJV occurrences: 18"
Acts 10:17 "Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,"
Thus, the Greek word, this Greek word, for the Hebrew word for vestibule was not used. The word "Red Sea" in the Greek Septuagint was used instead.
The translators of the Hebrew to the Greek Septuagint wrote to a Greek audience, and not to a Jewish audience.
You can see the middle Hebrew letter vav pronounced wow to make soof. Thus the translators of the Septuagint from Hebrew to Greek in 300 BC left out this middle letter changing the meaning from reed sea to a vessel of blood or wine and then to the Greek word Eruthros for the colour red to Red Sea.
Here you see the Red sea in Exodus 10:19 in other languages of the Bible:
Red Sea also in Exodus 13:18, 15:4, 15:22.
Exodus 10:19 "And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt."
Exodus 15:4 "Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea."
Exodus 14:28 "And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them."
From Strong's concordance:
Thus you can see one letter, one jot, the Hebrew letter Vav, was omitted from the Hebrew soof to the Hebrew saf to change the Reed Sea to the Red Sea.
Likewise the full, the plene, spelling for the Hebrew word to flee in Joshua 10:11 includes the middle letter Vav.
The Hebrew word for to flee H5127 was used once defectively in Joshua 10:11 and once in plene spelling in second is 2 Samuel 19:3 by inserting the letter Vav.
Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
This is this one jot or one tittle missing. The letter "Vav" is missing. Reed Sea = Samech Vav Phe, not Samech Phe. The "Reed Sea" is in the Hebrew.
Only when the Hebrew was translated into English, the Greek Septuagint word for "Red" was used. Simlply when the Septuagint was translated from Hebrew into Greek in 230 BC, the scribes omitted the middle letter "Vav". This left two letters instead of three. The two Hebrew letters spelled a crucible that was used to hold blood or wine. Because blood or wine is red, the translators of the Hebrew into Greek used the Greek word for red. Then the English translators also used the Greek word instead of the Hebrew word.
The meaning was the children of Israel crossed the Reed Sea, a fresh water sea, the easterly fork of the Nile River, and not the Red Sea.
Here is another example of a missing or mistranslated letter from the law of Moses:
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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."
Galatians 3:17 "And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect."
From Sothis year 430 from 2737 BC = 2307 BC = when Jacob entered Egypt - to the end of this 1460 sothis cycle when the year that backed up one day every four years from the first appearing of Sirius at 4:15 AM July 16, 2737 BC = no February 29 - to 1281 BC = 1456 years after = Sirius appeared at 4:15 AM July 17 not July 16 = one day early = 4 years earlier = 1456 not 1460 years, this sothis cycle from 2737 BC = 1026 years after, not 430 years after, that the law was given by Moses after the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
"the end of the four hundred and thirty years" is the end of the sothis calendar in 1281 BC = the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Exodus 34:1 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest."
from the four hundred and thirty years and:
Joshua 10:13b "the sun stood still from the half of heaven."
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was from the four hundred and thirty years. the four hundred and thirty years."
The word from is simply the Hebrew letter Bet.
from the Egyptian sothis year 430, 2307 BC, to the end of the sothis calendar year of 1456 years, the sun backed up 364 days, at the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC. 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC. The Exodus on the full moon, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = Jesus' sacrifice on the full moon, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Here you can see the Greek for Red Sea = is simply the colour red. A vestibule for blood or wine. The colour red from the Hebrew "saf" instead of "soof". Thus, the translators of the Septuagint mistakenly assumed the word for vestibule = saf instead of the word soof for reed sea because they sound and look very alike. Then, the translators of the Septuagint to Latin and then to English also assumed the word vestibule and further translated the word as the colour red, thus the Red Sea tradition has stuck. And again in the New Testament Greek the same word eruthros as in the Septuagint is used in Acts 7:36 and Hebrews 11:29.
From the Septuagint:
From A Concordance of the Septuagint you can see all the references to the Red Sea:
From La Bibbia the Italian Bible. The mar rosso sea is Italian for the sea red. Similarly the Romanian word for red is rossu, meaning a deep red like in Christmas bows. Thus, the English Bible was translated from the Latin that was translated from the Greek Septuagint.
From Die Bibel the German Bible. The schilfmeer is German for the reed sea. Thus, the German Bible was translated from the Hebrew.
From the Polish Bible, Pismo Swiete:
Exodus 15:22 "So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water."
Morza Czerwonego = Sea Red = Latin - Mar Rosso:
From the translation of the Hebrew Bible to Greek in the Septuagint in 230 BC, the Greek version called the sea Moses and Israel crossed on dry land to be the sea we now call the Red Sea. The Red Sea may also be named red because of the red coral there.

The sun may have risen the day after Joshua's long day, suddenly in the east, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, because the next day is described as the second day = Monday. Thus, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, is a type of the resurrection Sunday. Joshua's long day probably was August 10, 1241 BC, the 21st day of the seventh month.
The sudden and brilliant ascension of the sun in the east, Sunday, the resurrection morning, April 5, 33 AD.
Joshua's long day the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC is the most probable date. The next day Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, would be the 22nd day = the last and great day of the feast of taberncles.
Also, Gideon, at the crossing of the Jordan river February 4, 1241 BC may see the sun stand still at noon for 12 hours. Then at Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC; would see the sun stand still for 24 hours at noon. Also, a great light, sudden sunrise, on a Sunday like the resurrection morning.
Gideon's battle may be Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC when Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan, the same day Joshua was to climb to Shechem and read all the law = a long day, perhaps 24 hours long, for Gideon to chase and kill the Midianites and their kings from Mount Tabor to Succoth and Penuel and to Jogbehah = some 60 miles, before the sudden sunrise in Judges 8:13.
There are several possible dates for Gideon's battle: February 4, 1241 BC, August 10, 1241 BC, February 4, 1240 BC, August 10, 1240 BC, February 5, 1239 BC.
Gideon's battle appears to mark two sun miracles. An early sunrise at midnight and long day. Then, a sudden sunrise in the east. Then earth must have already been in a reverse orbit = the sun moving and earth flow out of the reverse orbit, and again the sun moving this 180° and earth flowing back into the reverse orbit. Meaning there may have been a sun miracle at the death of Miriam, Moses' sister, the new moon, the first month, February 4, 1242 BC.
Thus, the sun traveling around the earth twice as fast as when it stood still in the sky would be more efficiant in producing a 12 hour day. That is, the sun is passing overhead. It should not matter which way. The sun has to stand still in the sky for a net total of 48 hours. However, if the sun travels east fast enough, the result is a normal 12 hour day, howbeit, the sun set in the east.
We do not know if the sun set in the east on Joshua's long day.
Joshua's long day may have begun as a normal day.
Then there may be a day of a longer 12 hours or 36 hours to begin a reverse orbit on Joshua's long day.
The sun may stand still on the other side of earth opposite Israel for a long night the next day or at any half orbit point in these two or three years of a reverse orbit ending in king Wan's dream.
Then the sun may rise in the west, be stopped at noon for 24 hours, continue east to set, and a further three hours, then the sun travel 180° west and suddenly rise in the east. The total reverse orbit starting with the fall of Jericho: -12 hours, + 36 hours night before Joshua's long day, + 24 hours, - 12 hours, + 12 hours = 48 hours.
Nevertheless, Joshua's long day may have started out as a normal day. What we know - we have two dates: Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC and king Wan's dream one and a half orbits later, February 5, 1239 BC.
Dionysius Exiguus was the first to date the life of Christ to BC and AD and his dates were off by at least four years.
The first year of Herod in Jerusalem:
"But as to the more bold and hardy men, they got together in bodies, and fell a robbing others after various manners, and these particularly plundered the places that were about the city, and this because there was no food left either for the horses or the men;"
Wars of the Jews, Chapter 18, p. 449 The Complete Works of Josephus.
This was when Herod took Jerusalem. This was a fallow year so thus the lack of bread. So 7 years back from 23 BC is 30 BC, 7 years back from 30 BC is 37 BC. So this must be 37 BC when the ground was not to be sowed, thus the shortage of food later that year. Thus, the 13th year counting from 36 BC may be 23 BC. A shortage of bread would bring this calamity:
These two fallow years must be the 49th and 50th years. From Herod's reign in Jerusalem from 35 BC, his 13th year be this year 49 = 23 BC and jubile year 50 = 22 BC. This from year one Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, the fiftieth year was the year of the 70 year captivity in 591 BC, then 521 BC was year one, to 22 BC jubile to 29 AD jubile.
Thus, Herod's first year at the conquest of Jerusalem in 37 BC was a Sabbath fallow year and shortage of bread. This 23 BC was year 49, 14 years before a fallow year in 37 BC. There are two jubile cycles. One a 49 year cycle from 1241 BC and the other a 50 year cycle from 1241 BC of which is subtracted the 70 years of captivity from year 50 in 591 BC to begin again in 521 BC, 550 years, to Jesus' first year of ministry in September 9, 29, AD or October 7, 29 AD = the jubile.
"1. AND now Herod, in the eighteenth year of his reign, and after the acts already mentioned, undertook a very great work, that is, to build of himself the temple of God,"
The 18th year from 35 BC is 18 BC which is cycle year Sabbath year 49 from the year of Joshua's conquest, 1241 BC. So counting from 35 BC 18 years to the 49 year cycle is 18 BC.
There was a strong earthquake in the Aegean Sea in Turkey in 17 BC. Often sun miracles are followed with an earthquake.
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
From this 18 BC is 46 years to 29 AD at the beginning of Jesus' ministry and is 49 years at the finish of Jesus' ministry when he gave his life in sacrifice.
Ezra 4:24 "Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
The work on the temple ceased in 521 BC = 550 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, October 7, 29 AD when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Ezra 5:16 "Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished."
Isaiah 61:4 "And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations."
Thus, the foundation of the second temple may have been laid in 521 BC, and work on the temple resumed 15 years later in 507 BC.
Zechariah 1:1 "In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
From the resuming of the building of the Temple in Darius' second year 507 BC = 500 years to 7 BC. Jesus born the seventh month of 7 BC, and this be the 8th month of 507 BC.
Nevertheless, Darius I must have reigned 31 years from July 509 BC to October 478 BC / 477 BC.
Cambyses died after two lunar eclipses May 25, 510 BC and November 18, 510 BC.
Therefore, Darius reigned from July of 509 BC.
The temple was finished in his sixth year, the 3rd of Adar, February 10, 504 BC = Darius' first year in 510 BC / 509 BC. Then Darius I second year would be 508 BC / 507 BC.
The year the building of the temple resumed may be in this 507 BC = 2 years from 509 BC.
Ezra 6:15 "And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
6:16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,"
The foundation of the second temple was laid in 521 BC and construction stopped. Construction of the temple began again in 507 BC and the temple was finished on the 3rd of Adar, February 10, 504 BC. Both dates 521 BC and 507 BC point to Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
The foundation of the second temple laid in 507 BC:
Ezra 5:16 "Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished."
490 years after 507 BC is this 18 BC. 49 more years is Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Likewise, the year of Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD was year 49 from 1241 BC. Thus, the year of Jesus' resurrection was a jublile year. The blood red moon just after the High Priest was slain must have been the reflection of a red dimmed sun during the sun miracle that night at the same time as the lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC. Similarly the sun was dimmed on Joshua's long day: Joshua 10:12 Sun stand still. That night the sun must have moved back 180° and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The Exodus out of Egypt was Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Herod died the same March 30, 4 BC. Joseph took Mary and Jesus into Egypt about September 12, 5 BC, and returned to Israel after Herod died this March 30, 4 BC.
Matthew 2:15 "And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son."
Matthew 2:19 "But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel."
Herod died April 1, 4 BC.
The monk who determined Jesus was born year 1 AD, may have found the year of Jesus' crucifixion to be 33 AD and assumed Jesus was 30 when he began his ministry.
Luke 3:23 "When he began his ministry, Jesus himself was about thirtyG5144 years of age"
G5144 τριάκοντα triakonta tree-ak'-on-tah The decade of G5140; thirty: - thirty. Total KJV occurrences: 11
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
Thus these little words in the Bible are important. "about thirty" "about a whole day" "forty minutes had to be found".
"about" a whole day, also the letter "Kaph" for about.
In this Hebrew New Testament you can see the Hebrew letter Kaph = about. The same Hebrew word Kaph "for about a whole day". Reading from the right part way is "kaph" about = When he began to be "about" thirty.
The first letter on the right is also Kaph. Kaph Bet (H935) perhaps means "about enter" = When. The letter Kaph looks alot like the letter Bet. The difference is a tiny bump on the bottom right of the letter Bet.
The second word is sheloshem. Three is shelosh, ending in m is plural. Thus, three times ten = 30. The next word is year. The first word kaf means about. This word about is important because the year should be he began to be thirty-five. If the year was thirty there would be no need of the first letter kaf for about.
This was written about the time Jesus was baptized. 40 days he fasted. He returned to Nazareth on Yom Kippur. His birth should be the 17th day of the seventh month. Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, was on the tenth day of the seventh month. Thus, Jesus began, that is turned 35 years old, just days after he returned from being baptized.
Then Jesus' three and a half year ministry means Jesus would be 30 in 30 AD when he began his ministry. However, the word for 30 may mean the 30th decade = 35 years old. And certainly Herod died at the end of March in 4 BC. And this was the same Herod that the wise men came to. And Herod enquired when the star appeared two years previous. The year of tax of Augustus in the month he named August and in the same year.
"In 8 BC Augustus held a second census, in virtue of his imperium, in which 4,233,600 citizens were counted."
Augustus, Ancient Culture and Society by A.H.M Jones. p.68.
This 8 BC could be 7 BC because there is no year zero.
There is debate whether or not Augustus had a census.
There does not appear to be evidence of this census.
Yet, it is certain Augustus named the month August in 8 BC.
Then, likely Augustus may have held a census in his favourite month of August that next year in 7 BC = Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
The coin of Augustus is the zodiac sign Capricorn. If you can picture the sun moving 180° from Virgo in August to Capricorn. Augustus created the month of August.
"Augustus was not a man to be daunted by death and bereavement, and the business of government did not pause. A census was held and the Senate list revised, once again ... In 7 BC, Augustus' powers were renewed, this time for ten years,"
The life of Rome's First Emperor, Augustus, p.278.
"The plebiscite Lex Pacuvia de mense augusto renamed Sextilis Augustus (August) in 8 BC."
Wikipedia
This was year 746, that is 7 BC, from the founding of Rome in 752 BC = two years before the death of Uzziah King of Judah in 750 BC.
In 248 AD was 1000 years from the founding of Rome. Thus, Rome was founded in 752 BC: 1000 - 248 = 753 BC. The coin: "Antoninianus of Pacatianus, usurper of Roman emperor Philip in 248. It reads ROMAE AETER[NAE] AN[NO] MIL[LESIMO] ET PRIMO, "To eternal Rome, in its one thousand and first year".
"Resistance to a census in Israel by Herod could have delayed its implementation by for years, making a well-documented census in 7 BC a likely candidate."
Centennial Collector's Edition, The Birth of Jesus, Census ordered by Caesar Augustus, p.43
This same 8 BC Caesar named the month after himself because of his victories in "August". This was a perfect time to make a census in August the next year in 7 BC - and Jesus be born about September 12, 7 BC.
Augustus reigned from 27 BC till he died in August 14 AD. Caesar Tiberius reigned 15th year = 29 AD. Tiberius died March 16, 37 AD. The Passover was March 20, 37 AD.
Acts 5:37 "After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered."
This may be the same census Joseph kept when he and Mary came to Bethlehem when Jesus was born in September of 7 BC = at the ingathering of fruits.
Julius Caesar was assassinated March 15, 45 BC = the Passover. Julius Caeser began the Julian calendar that year with the new moon January 1, 45 BC. Then March 15, 45 BC is exactly the 15 day, the full moon, the Passover.
Likewise Caesar Tiberius was assassinated about the Passover. There may have been a sun miracle of darkness for an omen for the assassinations at the Passover.
The war in which Herod Antipas was defeated was one year before Caesar Tiberius died = about the new moon, March 16, 36 AD. Then the possibility of a sun miracle that year, the sun may move back at the one year mark March 16, 37 AD = the ten day moon - the Passover lamb to be kept at home till the fourteenth day, the Passover.
These are the beginning chapters of the book of Acts.
The year Stephen was stoned was 36 AD in Acts 7.
Luke 3:1 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,"
Luke 2:1 "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
The 17 day moon would rise in the east just as it had become dark about 8 PM. Thus, then there would be moonlight to enable the shepherds to find the home of Joseph and Mary and see Jesus just when he was born.
Perhaps Jesus was born Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. Then perhaps the sun moved to the other side of the earth that night; and Arcturus that would normally be beside the sun in September, would appear directly above at midnight. Then perhaps Jesus was born on the Sabbath and was circumcised on the Sabbath. Then perhaps there were two years of a reverse orbit, the sun moving back September 13, 5 BC, just after the wisemen had come to find and worship Jesus and this Arcturus be the star in the east the wisemen followed.
Psalm 87:6 "The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah."
Deuternomy 16:13 "Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:"
Thus, the time of fruit was the time to collect taxes, in the seventh month, in September, at the feast of tabernacles.
Luke 2:2 and part of 2:4 are in brackets. Cyrenius was governor of Syria in 6 AD, 9 years after Herod died. So, this tax of Augustus must be before 4 BC, and most probably in 7 BC. The year of Augustus' census should be in August of 7 BC and the time also be the seventh month, the feast of tabernacles in August/September = the ingathering of fruits = time the fruits could pay the tax.
Everyone was supposed to stay outside in booths during the feast of tabernacles. Then, the inn should have been empty and ready to take in Joseph and Mary to give birth to Jesus.
Thus, Jesus must have been born September 12, 7 BC at the time of this census of Augustus, in the breeding season for sheep, and at the time of the feast of booths/tabernacles when everyone was to be outdoors.
If Jesus was crucified in April 7, 30 AD: Then counting from the 18th of Herod from 38 BC is 21 BC and 46 years later is 26 AD when Jesus would be 31.
Numbers 4:3 "From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation."
Then Herod would have died in 4 BC, Jesus born in 7 BC and Jesus crucified April 7, 30 AD at 35 years of age. However, the cycles of 50 and 49 years from the beginning in Joshua's day do not then agree. Also the 15th year of Caesar that began John and Jesus' ministry must have been 29 AD because Augustus Caesar died August 19, 14 AD when Tiberius became emperor of Rome.
Jesus must have been crucified April 3, 33 AD the 49 year jubile, and Jesus must have been born about September 12, 7 BC.
Jesus therefore must have been thirty five when he began his three and a half year ministry.
Luke 3:1 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness."
Tiberius was Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD. The fifteenth year would be in 29 AD. John's ministry began at the Passover in the spring of 29 AD when Jesus was baptized. Thus, Jesus began his ministry six months later August/September, 29 AD.
Herod's reign was counted from 37 BC, 34 years to 4 BC by Josephus. Possibly at times his reign is counted from 35 BC. His death could be March 30, 4 BC. His first year was supposed to be 40 BC - 36 BC the 185 Olympiad. From 37 BC he actually reigned from Jerusalem. His son Philip reigned 37 years from 4 BC to 34 AD. Herod would hardly let his sons reign when he was still alive. Nevertheless, Jesus still appears to be born about Saterday, September 12, 7 BC, and crucified Friday, April 3, 33 AD. Also, there are many examples in scripture of Hebrew Kings living or reigning 38 years, the span of Jesus' life from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
Luke 2:21 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."
Simeon mentioned Jesus is a light to lighten the Gentiles. There may have been a sudden brilliant sunrise when Jesus was born. Then the sun would be on the other side of the earth.
Then if Simeon knew that Arcturus that now appeared directly above at midnight in September, September 12, 7 BC, was the star of the King of the Jews, he would know 8 + 33 days later, 40 days later, that new moon, rather the end of the moon, at the last visibility of the moon, October 22, 7 BC, that Jesus would be brought into the temple and be ready to greet him.
Leviticus 12:3 "And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled."
Jesus must be born about September 12, 7 BC or September 13, 7 BC. Then on the eighth day he was circumcised September 20, BC = the autumn equinox. Then 33 days later Jesus' parents Mary and Joseph brought Jesus into the temple, into the sanctuary = at the end of the eighth month, when Simeon would also enter the temple.
Zechariah 1:1 "In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
1:2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts."
1 Kings 6:37 "In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
The second year of Darius was in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth, and to this eighth month = the end of the eighth month, the exact time Simeon would take up Jesus in his arms in the temple.
Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC is day 51 of cycle 60, and year 49 of cycle 60. From the Exodus in 1281 BC are 26 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The oracle tortoise bone record "three flames ate the sun" was on a day 52, possibly the total solar eclipse in China, March 4, 1250 BC or a sun miracle in the reign of Woo-ting, 50 years, 1393 BC to 1343 BC. Perhaps there was a prophesy Jesus would be born on a day 51 of cycle 60.
In Hebrew the seven days were numbered, one to seven. Nevertheless, the first day logically begins with the first sunlight.
This 7 + 33 days = 40 days. From September 12, 7 BC = October 22, 7 BC = the last day of the eighth lunar month.
Jeremiah 36:9 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
36:10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people."
Leviticus 12:6 "And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:"
"Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD" "unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:" "And he came by the Spirit into the temple"
The sun miracle on day 40 of cycle 60 in China September 7, 591 BC would be like the same time of year as Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC, and 40 more days to his being brought to the temple = the end of this eighth month of Bul.
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
The 49 year jubile to 33 AD, was 18 BC; from 18 BC the 11th year is this 7 BC when Jesus was born. This 1044 BC = the first year of Solomon. From 1046 BC was the 49th jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC all the way to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; the same 11th year of the 49 year jubile.
John 2:20 "Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
From this 18 BC the temple was being rebuilt, 46 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry in 29 AD = 49 years, the 49 year jubile = Jesus' sacrfice, April 3, 33 AD.
Many sun miracles were on years ending X68 BC and some on years X18 BC: Such as King Heen becoming emperor of China in 367 BC and dieing 48 years later in 319 BC. Both years point to 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From X68 BC are even 50's to Jesus' sacrifice. From X07 BC are even 50's to Jesus' birth. From X18 BC are even 50's to Jesus' sacrifice. From X45 BC are 38 years to X07 BC and even 50's to Jesus' birth. From X21 BC and from X71 BC are even 50's to Jesus' ministry.
Some X18 BC are 2318 BC also a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice the year Joseph was put in prison in Egypt in 2318 BC. Three years later in spring in 2315 BC Joseph was taken out of prison and Yao became emperor when the sun stood still for ten days. In the year 2218 BC emperor Yao died. In the spring of 718 BC the emperor Hwan died. In the year 518 BC the emperor King King died.
Hebrews 1:3 "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and manifesting all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"
Matthew 2:2 "Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
Matthew 2:2 "For we saw his star when it rose."
The Latin states we have seen his star in the "oriente." When I think of the orient I usually think of China.
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
The sun on the other side of the earth, perhaps a 12 hour longer night when Jesus was born, means Arcturus would rise in the east at sunset instead of set with the sun in the west with sunset.
If Jesus was born on the 17th lunar day, the almost full moon would rise before midnight and give the shepherds light to find Jesus in the manger with Mary and Joseph.
Matthew 2:9 "So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the babe was.
2:10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with an exceeding great joy,
2:11 And went into the house, and found the babe with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him, and openned their treasures, and presented unto him gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrre."
If you can read Hebrew, this verse Matthew 2:9 from the New Testament Hebrew - English. From the last line of verse 9: Some words like amad to stop; the same as in Joshua 10:13 "and the moon stayed" then perhaps "touched concerned" "stop" "from above" "above" "stayed lingered" "where" "child".
"till it came and stood over the place where the babe was" that is "stood over" may mean the star continued west, "stood over" in Greek may mean the star reached directly above, and continued west like other stars.
Matthew 2:9 "When they had heard from the king, they went away; and behold the same star that they had seen in the east was going before them, until it came and stood just above the place where the infant boy was."
Holy Bible from the ancient eastern text
Matthew was written first in Aramaic before it was written in Greek.
Zechariah 14:16 "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles."
Jesus must have been born during the feast of tabernacles.
In this reverse orbit, in March, Arcturus would appear in the west at sunset. Normally Arcturus in March rises in the east at sunset.
Then in this reverse orbit, by June, Arcturus would appear directly above at sunset. By August Arcturus would appear in the east at sunset. Thus, the wise men saw the star in the east and travelling east each night while earth was in the reverse orbit.
Both the lunar eclipse of September 15, 5 BC recorded by Josephus in the time of Herod who died April 1, 4 BC, and the partial lunar eclipse of April 3, 33 AD to mark Jesus' crucifixion "give Jesus a longer life span than most authorities believe he actually had."
Moon Shadow, The Story of the Total Eclipse, p.73
Nevertheless, the dates found here point to Jesus living from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
There may be sun miracles in 1204 BC six months after the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC = 1200 years to Herod's death, 1004 BC = the death of King Solomon, the death of King Herod in 4 BC. Solar eclipse record in China day 48 of cycle 60 February 16, 505 BC may rather be a sun miracle second temple finished on the 3rd day of Adar = February 10, 504 BC = 500 years to the death of Herod, April 1, 4 BC.
"...it is reported, that in the time of their seventh emperor, Yao, the sun did not set for ten days, and that men were afraid the earth would be burnt.."
Gill 1810, Hubner 1733. However, this ancient text no longer exists.
"Yao" Universal Lexicon(1732-1754) Volume LX.

"Once there were seven suns in the sky. It was too hot. People found a good archer and asked him to shoot some of the suns. The archer was a daring man. He said, 'Tomorrow morning when the seven suns come out I'll shoot six of them with six arrows. If I fail, I'll be a marmot, cut off my thumb, drink blood instead of water, eat dry grass and live underground.' Well, he shot five. When he shot his last arrow, a sparrow flew in front of him. The arrow cut the sparrow's tail, which is why the sparrow has a forked tail. He did as he promised, and became a marmot. That is why the marmot has human meat on him."
Ghengis Khan, Life, Death and Resurrection. By John Man. p.27. On the subject how tales originated among the Mongol people.
The following record in China depicts the astronomers using a jade sighting tube aimed straight up at the star appearing at sunset in the meridian of the night sky. Thus, the wisemen who came to worship Jesus may have also had such a tool to measure where Arcturus passed over Bethlehem at midnight. Also by the 2nd century BC China had broadened its trade to the Middle East.
"The emperor Yao ordered his ministers Hsi and Ho to make the sighting-tube (lit. horizontal traverse) to observe the degrees of the positions of the stars. The ring and tube were made of hard jade because they wanted the apparatus to endure all weathers and to be always movable, not decaying with age."
Joseph Needham, Heavenly Clockwork, p62.
The ancient Chinese were the most advanced in astronomy and in reading the stars.
To travel from China to Bethlehem should take much more than two months = from the appearing of the comet on the new moon day 8 of cycle 60 to the full moon day 56 of cycle 60 = the blood lunar eclipse moon September 15, 5 BC.
To travel 500 miles from the east in Babylon may take five months. And to cross the Himalaya mountains to Israel may take nearly two years.
Ezra 7:9 "For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him."
The comet of 5 BC seen 70 days from March, the sun in earth's reverse orbit was passing from the September position in Virgo in March to the March position in Pisces in September. Then the possibility the 70 days of the comet's appearance may have lead up to September because of the counting of the sun in the zodiac in the reverse orbit.
However, there was no comet recorded for September of 5 BC. The star of Arcturus must have been the star the wisemen followed passing directly above Bethlehem.
A long journey begins with just one step. For the wisemen to start out two years before making it to Bethlehem, they may have started out from China and followed the Silk Road. From the Han dynasty with Lui Bang in 207 BC trade openned up from China to the Middle East.
"There were Christians in Western China before the first missionaries even visited Scandinavia."
Thus, in even 200 years later in 7 BC, with many many sun miracles over thousands of years with years ending with X07 BC, with the sun moved to the other side of earth and Arcturus appear directly above in September at midnight, the Magi, or perhaps Chinese astronomers, could start out on a journey to Israel to the latitude Arcturus would pass 90° at midnight in September, and ask further where the Christ was to be born in Jerusalem only to travel four more miles south to Bethlehem.
To travel from Anyang China could take almost two years = Herod slew the children of Bethlehem two and under from when the star appeared.
From China to Israel on the Silk Road was about 5000 miles. At ten miles a day that is 500 days = almost two years' journey.
The wisemen probably came about the beginning of September 5 BC, which was the new moon. Either the moon would be rising after midnight, or it would be a first quarter moon that would set at midnight. Nevertheless, Arcturus is one of the brightest stars. Vega is about the same brightness, as is Sirius.
Thus, the wisemen would have no trouble seeing Arcturus rise in the east. The sun must return about the lunar eclipse = full moon, of September 15, 5 BC, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Records in China, from the sun miracle in the 57th day of cycle 60, in the 50th year of the Chinese emperor Huangdi from 2656 BC = 2607 BC, counting days of 60 and years of 60 from the new moon January 26, 2636 BC, seventh month, seventeenth day, October 18, 2607 BC, and many more such as 2307 BC = Jacob enters Egypt, 907 BC = Joash made King of Judah, 507 BC = the foundation of the second temple was laid in King Darius I's second year, 507 BC.
300 years later was 207 BC (Lui Bang) = who determined the four seasons like Yao did in Yao's canon after Yao's long day.
"Zhao Gao had told King Hubai that the rebellions in the kingdom were but minor and isolated incidents and the rioters were local bandits and brigades. During the 8th month of this year, Lui Bang leading several thousand men successfully took the Wugan Pass and breached into the Wangyi Palace, where Hubai was staying, in the midst of the mayhem, all the palace guards, attendants and eunuchs had run for their lives.."
Wars with the Xiongnu, by Joseph P. Yap. p.54.
The 8th month in China often is the 7th month in Israel. Jesus' birth possibly on the 17th day of the 7th month, and a sun miracle that the Chinese were terrified of here, that pointed to Jesus' birth in this 207 BC = 200 years to Jesus' birth.
Saturday, September 3, 207 BC was the 17th lunar day of the 7th month:
All would point to the King of the Jews, Jesus' birth in even 100's to September 12, 7 BC.
8,000 Terracotta Warriors statues, found at the Tomb of the First Emperor, may have been inspired by Greeks. Qin Shi Huang lived between 259-210 BC and became the first emperor of a unified China. Thus, sun miracles at this time may have been recorded by both the Greeks and Chinese. Because trade with Rome and China also began at this time, there is the possibility the wisemen came from as far away as China where thousands of years of sun miracles were recorded in patterns of 50 and 49 years to Jesus' birth and sacrifice.
Chinese Emperor Yao's first year began in spring when the sun stood still for 10 days. Yao employed Yi to shoot at the sun 9 times, saving one sun, whereupon the sun moved again. They made Yao emperor.
Thereupon Yao determined to know the four seasons.
Yao's long day should be the full moon, what would be the Passover, the full moon, April 2, 2315 BC. Or the new moon March 29, 2316 BC.
Yao commanded the second brother He to reside at Yu-e, in what was called the bright valley, and there respectfully to receive as a guest the rising sun, and to adjust and arrange the labours of spring.
"The day," he said "is of the medium length, and the star is Neaou; you may thus exactly determine midspring. He further commanded the third brother He to reside at Nan-keaou, and arrange the transformations of summer, and respectfully to observe the extreme limit of the shadow.
"The day," said he, "is at its longest, and the star is Ho; You may thus exactly determine midsummer.
He separately commanded the second brother Ho to reside at the west, in what was called the Dark Valley, and there respectfully to convoy the setting sun, and to adjust and arrange the completing labours of autumn. "The night," he said, "is of the medium length, and the star is Heu; you may thus exactly determine mid-autumn. The people begin to feel at ease; and birds and beasts have their coats in good condition."
The star Aldebaran in Taurus, or the star Castor and Pollux in Gemini, overhead when the sun was in Aries in spring.
The Bird star is Niao or Neaou:
Genesis 40:13 "Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler."
From this 2317 BC = 2 years before Joseph lifted up out of the dungeon, is 2737 - 2317 = 420 years. 420 / 4 = 105 days. 105 days back from Egyptian new years July 16 is April 3, 2317 BC = the same April 3, 33 AD Jesus went to the cross.
April 1 was Pharaoh's birthday. A few more years in year 430 from 2737 BC = 2307 BC is 430 / 4 = 107 days. 107 days back from July 16 is April 1 is Pharaoh's birthday. Likewise, this 2307 BC is 2300 years to Jesus' birthday, perhaps September 12, 7 BC.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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 years from the sothis cycle beginning in 2737 BC = 2300 BC. The self same day is Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = April 1, 2307 BC = the end of the sothis cycle of 1456 years, four years short 1460 years.
Back one sothis cyce of 1461 years from 2737 BC = 4198 BC.
430 years from the sothis cycle beginning in 4198 BC = 3768 BC = 3800 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. A sun miracle in 3768 BC may have been the omen to make Pharaoh's birthday in year 430 when the new years was April 1, 3768 BC.
Genesis 40:20 "And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants."
April 1, 2317 BC was Sunday. Three days later was this third day of the week Tuesday. Egyptian new years had no February 29 so the calendar backed up one day every four days, new years Pharaoh's birthday was April 3, 2317 BC = from 2737 BC to 2317 BC 420 years, 420 / 4 = 105 days back from July 16 = April 3, 2317 BC. Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD.
The sothis calendar backs up one day every four years. Then new years April 3, 2317 BC, more than eight years later = 2 days later = 2307 BC, new years would be April 1.
April 1 was Pharaoh's birthday 107 days back from July 16. That is, in Sothis year 430, 430 / 4 = 107 days = the year and day, new years, Jacob and sons entered Egypt. New years backed up from July 16, 2737 BC 430 years to Friday, April 1, 2307 BC. 430 / 4 = 107 days = the day Jacob and his family entered Egypt.
The sojourn of Jacob into Egypt to be Friday, must count 14 days from the last visibility of the moon. Thus, Friday, April 1, 2307 BC be the 14th day of the Egyptian lunar month. Thus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC be the 14th day of the Hebrew month, the full moon and the Exodus.
Then the "selfsame day" must mean Friday, must mean the 14th day both times. Only the full moon was Sunday, April 3, 2307 BC. The 430th year of new years backed up the calendar 430 / 4 = 107 days from July 16 = April 1, 2307 BC. This same 107 days back from July 17, in 1281 BC was again April 1. Thus, in all, Friday, April 1, 2307 BC = Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Picture a globe of earth. If you rotate the base 180° for a sun movement of 180° at winter or summer solstice to keep earth in the same season; you will see half of 26,000 years of precession. Thus, a date of 90 days from the autumn or vernal equinox produces 180° shift to keep earth in the same season. Therefore, 2 X the number of days from the equinoxes is the number of degrees to shift earth or sun.
Thus, April 1, 2307 BC was 10 days before the vernal equinox April 11, 2307 BC. 26000 / 360°: = 72 years. 10 days = 10° x 72 years X 2 = 1400 years more recent than April 1, 2315 BC = 1000 BC sky instead of a 2300 BC sky.
"But apart from this, we are prepared to affirm that the three of the men sent to the four borders of China could not have seen the stars culminating at nightfall, when the sun is in the first point of Cancer, for it must culminate at 6h. P.M., whereas the sun would not set in any part of China in midsummer much before 7h P.M., and the stars would not be visible for half an hour after sunset.
This fact would stand equally in the way, at the equinoxes, of the observers' seeing their stars culminating, unless indeed, the time of observation was several centuries later than the date usually assigned to Yaouh (B.C. 2356 - 2355; - should be 40 years more recent = 2316 - 2315 BC), so that the stars to be observed had ceased to be exactly in the solstitial colure.
The astronomer who went to the north in winter is the only one who would have no difficulty of this kind."
The Chinese Classics, The Astronomy of the Ancient Chinese, p.92.
The sun sets 6:42 PM and rises at 4:28 AM at summer June 21 = 14 hours day 10 hours night. 14 divided by 2 = 7 = the sun rises 7 hours before noon and sets 7 hours after noon. This means the sun sets at 7 PM on June 21 the longest day in summer in China.
Joseph may have been made prisoner in Egypt in 2319 BC = year 49 of cycle 49 the jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Caiaphas became High Priest in 18 AD when Jesus was 25 years old. Joseph would be 25 in this 2319 BC. Joseph would be born 2345 BC = 39 years of age when Jacob and his sons entered Egypt in 2307 BC = the age of Jesus when Jesus gave his sacrifice.
In the Book of the Jubiles Joseph would be 28 years old when he was made governor over Egypt in 2315 BC, and not 30 years old. 3 years before this in 2318 BC Joseph would be 25 years old.
Nevertheless, this could be Joseph at 29 years old in his 30th year.
Joseph welcomed his father and brothers into Egypt when he was 38 and a half years old. Jesus must have been 38 and a half years old when we went to the cross. Joseph was sold into slavery when he was 17 years old. Then, Joseph was 23 years in Egypt before his brothers came begging for bread. Then the end of this 23 years would be 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth; 100 X 23 = 2300 years. Also, from Jacob's 70th year, when he dreamed of a ladder to heaven with angels ascending and descending, in 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice, are again 23 years to Joseph's birth in 2345 BC.
From Jesus at 12 years of age are 23 years to his first year in the ministry when he was 35 years old.
Yao's first year should be 2315 BC = Joseph made governor of Egypt.
In 1919 it was noticed the motions of Mercury, the perihelion and aphelion = nearest and furthest from the sun, were slightly off. Einstein used the unexplained motions of Mercury to validate his theory of Relativity. Even in 2018 a second correction was made to calculate Mercury's orbit, also using Einstein's theory of Relativity.
Newton's law that light has mass predicts objects passing a massive object like the sun will be bent around the sun. The bending is only a few meters. However, the gravity of the sun slows the light photons considerably creating a lensing around the sun. Einstein's theory of relativity predicts the photons will be bent two times more than Newton's law. That is, the slow down of time according to Relativity is twice the affect as gravity.
The precession of earth that takes 26,000 years to complete was known by James Legge in 1860. Nevertheless, the stars named by Yao would not mark the four seasons till quite a bit more than the 700 years James Legge suggested.
April 1, 2315 BC was 10 days before the spring equinox in April 10, 2315 BC. 2 X 10 days = 20°. The four stars of Yao would mark the four seasons 1400 years more recent than in 2315 BC. Thus, this record of Yao cannot be explained away because there is not 700 years, but a huge 1400 year discrepancy. Yao's stars visible in their seasons in 2315 BC, would not normally be visible in their seasons till 900 BC.
Jesus must be born September 12, 7 BC, ten days before the autumn equinox. Yao's long day = Joseph's dream = April 1, 2315 BC ten days before the vernal equinox = the sun may return at the half orbit point = also ten days before the autumn equinox.
186 days, half an orbit, after the full moon April 1, 2315 BC is Friday, October 3, 2315 BC the 22nd day of the seventh month = what would become the last day of the feast of tabernacles. Jesus' birth be the 17th day of the seventh month during this seven day feast.
"And he celebrated there yet another day, ..and called its name "Addition", for this day was added, and the former days he called "The Feast"
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.118.
The feast of Tabernacles, that is, the feast of Boothes, was from the 15th day of the seventh month to the 21st day. The day added would be the 22nd day = the great day of the feast. Joshua's long day may be the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC.
2 Chronicles 7:10 "And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people."
Here you can see the 22nd day moon:
The great day of the feast, before Benjamin's birth in about 2333 BC. Benjamin would be 7 years old, 10 years younger than Joseph, when his older brother Joseph who was born in 2345 BC/2343 BC was 17 years old in 2328 BC, was sold into Egypt.
Or, Benjamin born in 2333 BC and Joseph born 2345 BC/2343 BC.
Joseph born in the sixth year of the fourth week = 21 + 5 = 26 years from 2369 BC = 2343 BC or simply 2345 BC.
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."
April 1, 2315 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Nevertheless, April 1, 2315 BC was the full moon = April 3, 2307 BC also the full moon = the Passover Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The start of the second year of famine should be 8 years later, 7 years plus one year of famine. Thus, April 1, 2315 BC should start the seven years of plenty.
Genesis 45:6 "For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest."
Then, the new moon Friday March 29, 2316 BC = the Hebrew new moon's first visibility Sunday/Monday March 31/April 1, 2316 BC; may begin the seven years of plenty to 2309 BC; then two years of famine to 2307 BC.
Friday, March 30, 1281 BC was the Exodus.
Thus, it would be entirely impossible for the Chinese astronomers to name these four stars to mark the four seasons in 2315 BC unless the sun moved.
The famine stele, inscribed in 332 BC for Pharaoh Djosor, describes seven years of famine. This may be the famine of Abraham.
Genesis 12:10 "And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land."
Abraham left Haran in 2532 BC. Thus, if the Egyptian chronology at the time of Djosor was 100 more years more recent, this record of Abraham of famine could be the same year. Then Abraham would see the great pyramid when he sojourned in Egypt.
Wood fragments found under the Great Pyramid of Giza are carbon dated to 500 years older than the conventional date.
Genesis 26:1 "And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar."
Abraham died in this 2432 BC.
Genesis 41:27 "And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine."
The famine in Egypt, of Joseph, was in 2308 BC.
2532 BC and 2432 BC are about 38 years after 2569 BC and 2469 BC = 2600 years and 2500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, pointing to the life of Jesus of 38 years.
The record of the Pharaoh Unas must be some several years more recent. The date of Unas from 2345 BC should be from 2320 BC = 25 years more recent. Then Pharaoh Unas reigned either 15 or 30 years. If 30 years from 2320 BC = the Pharaoh when Joseph was put in jail, then 30 years to 2290 BC = the year Jacob died 17 years after Jacob entered Egypt. 2290 BC would be 50 year jubiles to Joshua's long day and conquest in 1241 BC.
Ancient Records of Egypt, by James Henry Breasted:
Reign of Teti:
282. "Sabu, also called Ibebi, was a favorite official at the courts if Unis, the last king of the Fifth, and Teti the first king of the Sixth Dynasty. Under both he held the important office of high priest of Ptah at Memphis, and to this oft-repeated title he adds also his other offices, mingled with a long series of self-laudatory epithets and phrases. Of these the inscriptions cheifly consist, but he gives us also a few insteresting statements which throw light on the career of such a noble at court. The inscriptions are rendered below with all repititions, as an unaltered example of such records in the Old Kingdom. In some phrases Sabu's inscription is identical with that of Ptahshepses."
Career under Unis:
283."Attached to King Unis, high priest of Ptah, more honored by the king than any servant. He descended into every barge. A member of the court, when he entered the ways of the southern palace at feasts, Sabu whose beautiful name was Ibebi."
284. "Honored by the king, doing his pleasure, one whom his lord loves, high priest of Ptah, attached to the double house, feast day attendant, prophet of Ptah, prophet of Sokar, Sabu, etc."
285. "Today in the presence of the Son of Re: Teti living forever, high priest of Ptah, more honored by the king than any servant, as master of secret things of every work which his majesty desired should be done; pleasing the heart of his lord every day, high priest of Ptah, Sabu. High priest of Ptah, cup-bearer of the king, master of secret things of the king in his every place, honored by the king, high priest of Ptah, .."
This cup-bearer and high priest may have been Joseph, continuing after the death of Pharaoh Unas (Unis) after the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine. The seven years of famine ended on 2302 BC. Joseph was born in 2345 BC and would be 43 in 2302 BC and Joseph live 110 years to 2235 BC. Pharaoh Unas ruled for either 15 years or 30 years. 15 years would cover both the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine. The river stele of Unas depicting starving foreigners was from this seven years of famine. Thus, the Pharaoh Unas lived on into the seven years of famine.
Khnumdjedef may be Joseph because he officiated during the reign of Unas. Also, Khnumdjedef phonetically sounds like Joseph. Only, Joseph's body was taken into Israel almost 1000 years after his death by Joshua.
"Seneb-nebef" sounds phonetically like Joseph.
Then the starving nomads in the relief of Unas should be the strangers coming to Egypt for bread in the seven years of famine when Joseph had kept the grain in store houses from the seven years of plenty. Then this famine both in the time of Joseph and Unas should equal the seven years from 2308 BC to 2301 BC.
Relief showing starving nomads from Unas' causewayat Saqqara.
Genesis 41:56 "And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands."
The low Nile rather of Pharaoh Unas was in 2308 BC. Then the second year of famine = the 430th Egyptian sothis year 2307 BC = April 3, 2307 BC = the self same day, the Exodus, Friday March 30, 1281 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Joseph was made governor over Egypt at thirty years of age, eight years earlier in 2315 BC.
"And Israel went into the country of Egypt, into the land of Goshen, on the new moon of the fourth month, in the second year of the third week of the forty-fifth jubilee."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.152.
45 X 49 = 2205, + 55; from 4568 BC = 2308 BC. From Adam at 4568 BC = (45 X 49) + (7 X 7) + 7 = 2308 BC. Thus three weeks = (7 X 7) + 7.
The "second year" from 2308 BC = 2307 BC = Egyptian Sothis year 430 from the new sothis cycle in 2737 BC.
Thus, James Legge, who wrote the Chinese Classics in 1860, knew immediately these stars of He and Ho could not tell the seasons in 2315 BC. Then Jacob came down into Egypt in the second year of famine, the 9th year = 7 years plenty - 1 year of famine to start the second year of famine, 2315 BC - 8 = 2307 BC.
Jacob entered Egypt on the second year of famine in 2307 BC.
April 3, 2307 BC was the full moon = the Passover Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Then as the precession of Mercury was solved by Einstein's equation, so also, the forward precession of earth recorded in the time of Yao is also solved by these sun movements.
The first year of Emperor Yao in the Chinese Classics was to be 150 years before Yu in 2169 BC = 2318 BC. Yao reigned 100 years to Shun. With 3 years of overlap with Shun, Yao's first year should be 2315 BC. Yao became emperor when the sun stood still for nine days in spring. To match with Genesis Pharaoh's birthday when Joseph appeared before Pharaoh was April 1. Thus, the sun should stand still for nine days April 1, 2315 BC.
"of the vision of Amram, son of Qahat, son of Levi. ..in the year of his death..in the year one hundred and thirty-six, the year of his death: in the year one hundred and fifty-two of the exile of Israel to Egypt.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume 2, p.1085.
152 years from the sojourn into Egypt in 2307 BC = 2155 BC. From Yao in 2315 BC; 97 years, Shun 50 years, Yu 8 years from 2169 BC = 2161 BC.
2271 BC, 102 years before Yu in 2169 BC, was a 49 year jubile. 2271 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking in Luke 4 from Isaiah 61.
"In his 42nd year (2274 BC) a brilliant star appeared in Yih (? Crater)"
The Chinese Classics, The reigns of Yaou and Shun, p.112
This brilliant star may have been a supernova.
The number 42 appears in the Bible. 42 months are three and a half years. Sun miracles may be three and a half years apart.
Luke 4:25 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
There is one and a half years from Joshua's long day to king Wan's dream.
There is a three and a half years from the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From October 7, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is three years and 178 days (178 days from the fall equinox September 22 to the spring equinox March 20) = three years and one half orbit. The sun may move to the other side of the earth October 7, 29 AD and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, and three and a half orbits later the sun may move back again and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun on April 3, 33 AD.
Nevertheless, two years of reverse orbit, from April 3, 31 AD to April 3, 33 AD would be ample time to build up 7 X 180° = 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, for a long day / night April 3, 33 AD for Jesus to be in the grave a full three days in duration.
The genealogy in Matthew 1 is three sets of 14; 3 X 14 = 42.
Matthew 1:17 "So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations."
"In his 29th year, the chief of the Pigmies came to court in token of homage, and offered as tribute their feathers which sank in water."
The Chinese Classics, p.112.
The 29th year from Yao's first year in 2315 BC is 2286 BC. A sun miracle may be taken as an omen to offer a token of homage. And from this 2286 BC are forty years to Yao's 70th year in 2245 BC when was a sun miracle recorded. Thus, perhaps sun miracles 39 years apart to mark the 39 years of Jesus' life from 7 BC to 33 AD. Even this 2245 BC was 38 years to 2207 BC. Again the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Also, this 70 years from Yao/Joseph, the sun stood still for 9 days for Yao the day Joseph was made governor over Egypt at the beginning of the seven years of plenty, 70 years from 2315 BC to this 2245 C. There also was a 70 years, of captivity, of Israel from 591 BC to 521 BC.
"In his (Yao's) 42nd year, 2274 BC, there was a brilliant star seen in Yih (Crater). A few years later was the 49 year jubile in 2271 BC. The Children of Israel were 40 years in the wilderness from the Exodus in 1281 BC to Joshua's crossing of the Jordan in 1241 BC on the 49 year jubile.
There were two corrections to the 50 year jubile, the 40 years in the wilderness to 1241 BC, and the 70 years in captivity to 521 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
From Yao's first year in 2315 BC, his 42nd year would be 2273 BC - about the 49 year jubile in 2271 BC. Thus, possibly this brilliant star may be connected to a sun miracle to mark, not only a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, but a 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 to begin his ministry on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
From 2271 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 9, 29 AD.
Numbers 19:2 "This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:"
2166 BC was a 7 year of release inside the 49 year jubile. 2159 BC was also 7 year of release inside the 49 year jubile. Probably there was a sun miracle in this same 2159 BC that the Chinese took as an omen to depose Yu.
Ice cores from mount Kilimanjaro contained a dust layer from 2300 BC which matched the low Nile in the reign of Pharaoh Unas = the seven years of famine in Egypt described in Genesis. If there be a full Sothis cycle of 1460 years at the end of the Egyptian Sothis cycle from 2741 BC to 1281 BC we are short 5 years. However, it is widely believed this sothis cycle ended one day earlier, that is the calendar backed up one day every four years, so July 17, 1281 BC is one day before July 16, 1281 BC. Sirius appeared before the sun rose at 4:15 AM, one day earlier in 1281 BC instead of 1277 BC.
August 13, 2019, Sirius rises 20 minutes before the sun like it did on the Egyptian new years, July 16, 2737 BC and July 16, 1281 BC to predict the flooding of the Nile River.
At Qumran, in the Dead Sea Scrolls, is their 364 day calendar to match the 52 weeks of 7 days, and the lunar year calendar. The new year would always be on Wednesday, the fourth day, the day the sun was created in Genesis 1:14 - 1:19.
1 Corinthians 15:45 "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."
Thus, Adam is compared to Jesus, Adam born year 800 = 4568 BC = 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."
Thus, Adam "after" Armenian sothis 5368 BC was year 800, 4568 BC = 44 X 50 year jubiles, 2200 years, to 2368 BC. 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice divided by 144 generations equals 32 years a generation.
Generations for men are usually 30 years, and generations for women are usually 28 years. Of course in ancient times people did not live so long. And then in ancient Bible times people did live much longer. Thus, 32 years a generation = 144 generations, from Adam born about year 700 Armenian Sothis, 4668 BC, to Jesus born about September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 11:20 "And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:"
Thus, the average generation be 32 years.
A generation is usually between 25 years and 30 years. Many generations were way over 30 years. Abraham was 100 when he fathered Isaac, Isaac was 69 when he fathered Jacob, Jacob was 92 when he fathered Joseph.
This 2368 BC when Jacob was 70 years old. Jacob lived 77 more years to 147 years; 77 = 2 X 38.5 years or two times the age of Jesus. This 2368 BC was 44 times 50 year jubiles from 4568 BC
Or 44 X 49 years + 44 years - the 44 years omitted.
Both 2368 BC and 4568 BC was even 2400 years and 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
From 2369 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, are 49 X 49 year jubliles. 49 X 49 = 4001 years. Jacob was 69 years old in 2369 BC. Isaac was 69 years old when Jacob was born in 2348 BC from 2507 BC.
Then from 4568 BC are 44 X 50 year jubiles to 2368 BC. From 2368 BC are 48 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
From Adam's 130th year, 4568 BC - 130 = 4438 BC. That is about 4440 BC = 3200 years from 4440 BC to Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
For the Essenes the year began on the fourth day, Wednesday:
Genesis 1:16 "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
The Essene movement began 390 years after the destruction of Jerusalem.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, by Peter W. Flint. p.176
From the captivity in 591 BC 390 years is this is 201 BC. There was a sun miracle witnessed in China just a few years before in 207 BC = 200 years to Jesus' birth, by Lui Bang. Also, from 203 BC are 4 X 49 year jubiles, 196 years, to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginningH7225 GodH430 createdH1254 (H853) the heavenH8064 and the earth.H776"
The word "create", Hebrew H1254 "bara" was something only God can do, such as creating the sun and moon, and doing wonders like moving the sun and moon.
Genesis 1:1 בָּרָא bârâ' baw-raw' A primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): - choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat). Total KJV occurrences: 54
"And at the moment of wrath, three hundred and ninety years after having delivered them and caused to sprout from Israel and from Aaron a shoot of the planting, in order to possess his land and to become fat with the good things of his soil. And they realized their sin and knew they were guilty men; but they were like blind persons and for those who look for the path by groping over twenty years."
Damascus Document 4Q266 [4Qa]
Thus, 390 years from 591 BC to 201 BC. 20 years from 591 BC to 571 BC, 600 years = 12 X 50 jubilees to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
For the Essenes the Passover was always on a Wednesday. March 26, 8 BC was the Passover, and a Wednesday as well. John the Baptist may have been born on the Passover, Monday, March 16, 7 BC.
Half an orbit before the 17th day of the 7th month = Saturday, September 12, 7 BC, is the 10th day of the first month, Wednesday, March 11, 7 BC - 186 days before.
The first day of the 7th month, the civil new year, Wednesday, August 26, 7 BC.
The Priestly Courses: There were 24 priestly courses. The 24th was Maaziah = Caiaphas. 48 weeks + 4 = 52 courses. 52 weeks a year.
"This calendar records which priestly course is serving during Passover for the first five years of the six-year cycle."
The Dead Sea Scolls, A New Translation. p.321.
"In the first year the festivals begin on the third day from the Sabbath (Tuesday) of the course of the sons of Maaziah is the Passover."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Religious Thought and Practices Reflected in the Qumran Scrolls, p.170, by Flint.
The Passover 14th of the first month = third day from 1/12 to 1/18.
Thus, the High Priest Caiaphas must have served the temple on the Passover week of Jesus' sacrifice. Thus, the High Priest Caiaphas being on duty that week, on the Passover, must have seen the veil of the temple rent in twain.
Matthew 27:50 "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
Maaziah was the priestly division of Caiaphas, as revealed by a tomb near Bethshemesh recently. The Passover week of Jesus' crucifixion, the third day of the week, Tuesday, March 31, 33 AD. The Passover of Jesus' crucifixion Friday, April 3, 33 AD, the 14th day of the lunar month.
Thus, Caiaphas would be the High Priest that year, as he had been for 15 years, and also his priestly division, if this date is the same week, although the third day of the week was not the Passover - the sixth day of the week was the Passover April 3, 33 AD.
"is the Passover" Caiaphas being in the course of Maaziah would serve the temple on the Passover week that Jesus was crucified.
2737 BC - 1281 BC = 1456 years. However, the completion of the revolution is in itself one year. A 1460 year sothis would be 1461 years. Thus, the sothis one day early = July 17, is 1456 year sothis.
Then Abraham's father Terah died in year 205. This must be sothis year 205 from 2737 BC = 2532 BC. Then Abraham born in 2607 BC would be 75 years old when his father died in 2532 BC. Abraham born in 2607 BC, Isaac be born in 2507 BC, Jacob born when Isaac was 69, not 60, the character 9 being omitted, in 2438 BC, and Jacob enter Egypt when he was 130 years old in 2307 BC.
Adam lived to 130 years, from 4568 BC to 4438 BC or Adam lived 230 years from 4668 BC to 4438 BC. Likewise Daniel may have lived 230 years from 628 BC to 397 BC = 62 weeks of years, 434 years from 402 BC, to Jesus' sacrifice.
From the death of Terah, Abraham's father, 2532 BC is 2525 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 101 X 25 = 2525 or about 101 generations, or 84 generations of 30 years. There may be 144 generations from Adam to Jesus.
Adam born in Armenian sothis year 800 = 4568 BC died at 130 years old in 4538 BC = 1800 years to the new begin Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC. Or Adam born in the Armenian Sothis year 700 in the Septuagint, and lived to year 930 = Adam may have lived to 230 years.
Genesis 11:25 "And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters."
From the Egyptian sothis 2737 BC 119 years later is 2618 BC. Then to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is 2650 years or 53 X 50 year jubiles.
Counting back from Jacob entering Egypt when he was 130 years old in 2307 BC to Joseph's birth in 2345 BC. Because Joseph was 30 years old in 2315 BC, born 2345 BC. 2345 BC - 38 years to Jacob entering Egypt April 3, 2307 BC = Jesus' life of 38 years.
Then counting 2 X 7 years, the years Jacob served for Rachel, 14 years, to Jacob's first born Rueben about 2360 BC when Jacob was 77 years old = 7 years after Jacob left for Haran. Jacob was born in 2438 BC, and Jacob would be 70 when he arrived to work for Laban.
Thus, Jacob would be about 38 when he took Esau's blessing, and 38 years later when Jacob married Leah, Laban's daughter. Thus, these 38 year periods were a type of Jesus' perfect life, from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
The dates work far better if Abraham left Haran when his father died, in Egyptian sothis year 205 from 2737 BC = 2532 BC.
Note "The emperor's son Che was deposed after being appointed nine years."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.
The king Che before Yao, reigned 10 years. All things being correct, counting Yao's first year after this 10 years can make Yao's first year in agreement.
The chronology does not work unless Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC = 2300 years before Jesus' birth. This 2307 BC must equal year 430 Egyptian Sothis from 2737 BC. A full sothis cycle from 2737 BC to 1281 BC of 1456 years. The first appearing of Sirius 4:15 AM before dawn, New Years was July 17 instead of July 16 in 1282 BC - one day equals this 4 years from 1460 years = 1456 years.
Thus, Isaac must have been 69 not 60 when Jacob was born. Thus, Abraham must have left Haran when his father Terah died, when Abraham was 75 years old and Terah died in Egyptian sothis year 205, from 2737 BC = 2532 BC. 2532 BC - 75 = 2607 BC = Abraham's birth 2600 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Abraham passed through Palestine in his 75th year in drought would come into Egypt when the three great pyramids of Giza were built. Khufu, dynasty IV, built the Great Pyramid. 2606 BC - 2583 BC. Should be 40 years more recent, 2566 BC - 2543 BC. Because Pharaoh Unas must be 40 years more recent to be the Pharaoh of the seven years of famine. Unas must have reigned about 20 years, not from 2367 BC, but from about 2327 BC to the second year of famine in 2307 BC.
There is a stone drawing of starving foreigners coming to Pharaoh Unas for bread. This was a wide spread famine in the Mediterranean and matches the drought and fires described in the falling Sun of Phaethon.
In the story of Phaethon, the sun fell from the sky = the sun passed 180° through the zodiac, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
This 40 years more recent may be the sothis cycle. The Exodus was at the end of the 1460 year sothis cycle in 1281 BC, and not on 1321 BC. Thus Unas be Pharaoh in 2315 BC to begin the seven years of plenty.
The great pyramid was built over a 100 or 200 year period. The sides were aligned with true north. Because of precession, 26,000 years earth's 23.5° tilt pivots 360°, earth would have shifted one degree every 72 years. Thus, the great pyramid's sides should be and were moved about one or two degrees during construction. The Great Pyramid: Measures of Time And the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Thus, Abraham at 75 years old when he left Haran 2531 BC would have seen this pyramid just as it was completed. Thus, the new copper cap stone would gleam in the sunlight.
Abraham was 75 in 2531 BC; 38 years from his birth in 2607 = 2568 BC; another 38 years is 2531 BC.
"In Hwang-te's (Huangdi) 50th year (October 18, 2607 BC), in autumn, in the 7th month, on the day Kang-shin (57 of cycle 60), (17th day of the 7th month = Noah's ark rested, Genesis 8:4 = 2600 years before Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC) phoenixes, male and female arrived." In Huangdi's 20th year, from the new moon at the beginning of the year, day one of cycle sixty, January 26, 2636 BC.
The sun was in Aquarius in January 2636 BC. The first of the 12 zodiac constellations. The date the 17th lunar day of the 7th month may be a prophesy of Jesus born the 17th day of the 7th month, about September 13, 7 BC. Thus, Abraham born 2600 years before Jesus to the day.
In Chinese ti or di for King or God is the same word as divine. Huangdi = the yellow emperor. Also, the Chinese Ba for father is the same as the Hebrew Abba.
Mark 14:36 "And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt."
100 years before this 2636 BC was the Egyptian sothis cycle 2737 BC.
Genesis 11:32 "And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran."
Genesis 12:4 "So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."
Terah died in year 205 from the next Egyptian sothis cycle in 2737 BC when Abraham was 75 years old = 2532 BC.
Egyptian sothis = 2737 BC. Chinese counting of 60 = 2636 BC.
Huangdi's first year would be 2657 BC, 53 X 50 year jubiles of 2650 years to Jesus' birth.
Genesis 16:16 "And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram."
Abraham born in 2607 BC would be 86 years old in 2521 BC. That is 2550 years, 51 jubiles of 50 years, before Jesus was to begin his ministry at Yom Kippur, the 50 year jubile, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Genesis 16:3 "And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife."
Genesis 21:5 "And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him."
Genesis 18:14 "Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
The return of the year was in the new year, the seventh month = September / October. Jesus must have been born on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
Thus, when Abraham was 86 years old would be 2521 BC. 2521 BC be 2550 years before the jubile of 29 AD when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 to begin his ministry. By legend Chinese emperor Huangdi lived 100 years to 2557 BC. Then in the next emperor's 38th year would be this 2521 BC, and perhaps a sun miracle and a change of emperors.
Then there were 38 more years to 2482 BC, emperor Chuen-Heuh's first year. Then 13 more years to 2468 BC, when Chuen-Heuh changed the calendar perhaps when there was a sun miracle, when Abraham went to offer up Isaac as a type of Christ, 2500 years before Jesus' crucifixion in April 3, 33 AD. Thus, all these 38 year periods point to Jesus' perfect life of 38 years from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
"Every 20 years the new moon appeared at the winter solstice at dawn..projecting ahead 19 times, 380 years, when Huang-di became immortal and ascended into Heaven."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.236
Sun miracles were often recorded in China 38 years apart, the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life. Thus, this 380 years is 38 years X 10 times.
From Huang di in 2656 BC - 380 years to 2276 BC = 39 years from Yao's first year when the sun stood still for nine days April 1, 2315 BC to 2276 BC. In Yao's 42nd year 2274 BC "a brilliant star appeared in Yih". A reverse orbit of two years may have begun in 2276 BC to 2274 BC.
"In his (Yao) 76th year, the super intendant of Works smote the hordes of Ts'aou and Wei, and subdued them"
From 2315 BC 77 years is 2239 BC, that is a year 38, sin-chow, of cycle 60. Also 77 years = 2 X 38.5 years.
"In his (Yao) 19th year, he ordered the minister of Works to undertake the regulation of the Ho"
From 2315 BC 18 years is 2297 BC, is year 39 of cycle 60.
From Huangdi's first year, 2657 BC, 380 years = 2277 BC. Jesus' life of 38 years times ten. From Yao's and Joseph's first year, 2315 BC to 2277 BC = 38 years. Jesus ascended April 5, 33 AD when he was 38 years old.
Or, from 2635 BC, 380 years = 2255 BC.
That is, from Huangdi's reckoning of the cycle 60 in his 20th year, January 26, 2636 BC. The next year is 2635 BC.
"In Yao's 61st year, he ordered the baron K'wan of Ts'ung to regulate the Ho river."
Yao's first year was 2315 BC and his 61st year was 2255 BC. A sun miracle then could affect the weather patterns and raise the level of the Ho river.
From Huangdi's first year in 2657 BC are 44 X 60 year cycles to 17 BC when was the beginning of Herod's rebuilding of the temple.
Nevertheless, Huangdi counted the 60 year and 60 day cycles from his 20th year on the new moon and phoenixes = sun miracle, January 26, 2636 BC.
From 18 BC is 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From 2657 BC are 53 X 50 year periods to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Many emperors died on years ending X18 BC - probably on the omen of a sun miracle, and would be in even 50 year cycles to Jesus' sacrifice to point to Jesus' coming. Nahor died in year 119, from the Egyptian sothis 2737 BC = 2618 BC. 50 years later, after 18 BC, on April 3, 33 AD Jesus gave his life and rose again Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Emperor Haou died in his third year from 1720 BC = 1718 BC.
In Chuen-Heuh's 13th year, 2503 BC, he invented calendric calculations. There may have been a sun miracle at Isaac's birth in 2507 BC that was an omen to Chuen-Heuh in 2503 BC.
In Chuen-Heuh's 78th year he died. Then In Chuen-Heuh would be 100 when he died.
78 years from 2515 BC is 2437 BC. Isaac born in 2507 BC would be 70 in 2437 BC when Jacob was born.
"A yellow dragon served as the omen for Chuen-heuh to become emperor" in year one of cycle sixty 2515 BC.
Chuen-heuh became emperor in 2515 BC, his 13th year, when he made calendaric calculations, would be this 2503 BC:
103 BC = yenfung shet'ekih = yanmeng shetige = year 13 of cycle 60 = 2503 BC.
Abraham rescued Lot in about 2517 BC.
Genesis 14:5 "And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,"
Genesis 14:17 "And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God."
Abraham was born about 2607 BC, less 75 years when Abraham left Haran, less this 14 years is about 2518 BC or 2515 BC. 2516 BC was a 49 year jubile = 52 X 49 years to April 3, 33 AD. Thus, a jubile when things are to be returned.
Thus, the dragon of Chuen-Heuh in 2515 BC and possibly a sun miracle to aid Abraham in this battle.
This battle appears very like the battle of Gideon.
Thus, Melchizedek points to Jesus' sacrifice.
This also was the pattern for emperor Wu's first year. Wu became emperor in 1174 BC, 12 years after his father Wan died in 1186 BC. Thus, Wu was king for 12 years before he became emperor = 23rd year of cycle 60, 1174 BC.
"When Wu made an end of of Yin, the year was kang-yin, 27 of cycle 60. Twenty-four years after, in the year kea-yin, 51 of cycle 60, the vases were finally places in the city of Lo. From that time to King Yew were 257 years; - giving to us in all 281 years. From sin-mao, 28 of cycle 60, the 1st year of Woo, to kang-woo, 7th of cycle 60 = 770 BC, the last year of Yew, were 292 years."
The Chinese Classics, p.158.
770 BC back 292 years is 1062 BC, back to Wu in 1174 BC is 112 years. Wu in 22 of cycle 60, 1174 BC. Sin mao would be year 28 of cycle 60, the last year of Wu, 1169 BC.
24 years later, 1174 BC - 24 = 1150 BC = the phoenixes, the sun miracle of 1150 BC in the 18th year of King Ching.
From the last year of emperor Ch'aou's 19th year in 1087 BC to emperor Muh's first year in 965 BC is 120 years, a gap of no Chinese history of two 60 year cycles.
Not 257 years but 370 = a difference of 113 years. Not 292 years but 405 years = a difference of 113 years. The real difference is two cycles of 60 = 120 years of unrecorded history in China; 113 + 7 years.
The Exodus, the full moon, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC:
Luke 3:1 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness."
The fifteenth year of Tiberius was in 29 AD because Augustus died August 19, 14 AD. 14 + 15 = 29. Jesus was baptized of John in about March 29 AD. The Passover probably was Friday, March 18, 29 AD. Jesus began his three and a half year ministry half a year later about his birthday in September 17, 29 AD to his crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
John 2:20 "Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
Some suggest Jesus was crucified Thursday instead of Friday to make three 24 hour days to Jesus' resurrection. God moving the sun 3 X 24 hours west to east = 3 X 360° with earth's rotation, the Friday night of Jesus' crucifixion, into Saturday, would fulfill these three days. Jesus' sacrifice can only be Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The sun must return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. Thus the sun move 7 X 180° = 7 X 12 hours and move back.
Thus, 46 years back from the Passover in 29 AD is 18 BC when the temple was rebuilt by Herod in his 18th year from 35 BC. The temple was continually being rebuilt to 70 AD.
Jesus would be 24 years old when Caiaphas became High Priest in 18 AD. Joseph was 23 years in Egypt when his father Jacob and his brothers came in 2307 BC. Annas became High Priest in 6 AD when Jesus was 12 years old.
From Analemma.com:
In a half orbit of 186.6 days and 178.6 days: The difference in orbit speed is +8 minutes and -8 minutes. That adds up to 16 minutes in a 24 hour day. However, over 48 hours that adds up to 32 minutes. I believe the speed of earth is the factor. Because earth's reverse orbit is sped up 48 hours a year, earth's half orbit plus earth's next half orbit - a complete reverse orbit year - must add up to 48 hours less and still be 365 days and 5 hours.
Because at the same speed and distance of earth's orbit in reverse there would be 367.24 days unless earth's reverse orbit is sped up two days, 48 hours, because rotation is against orbit in earth's reverse orbit. Then the first half orbit must be applied to 24 hours, half of the sped up 48 hours.
The Equation of Time and the Analemma point to the difference between the first half reverse orbit and the second half reverse orbit. Thus, the difference of 32 minutes is not from the normal orbit, but from the sped up half of 48 hours spread over the reverse orbit.
The speed of earth must speed up 32 minutes in the second half reverse orbit when earth is nearest the sun. Thus, the first half orbit is 23:28 hours shorter and the second half orbit 24:32 hours shorter. Two 180° movements east of the sun, to begin and end a half reverse orbit, add up to 24 hours. Thus, the first half orbit is missing 32 minutes in elapsed time.
King Wan's dream in his first year as king, on the six day moon, in the first month of spring, most likely was February 5, 1239 BC. Two years earlier was the crossing of the river Jordan by Israel Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = the sun moved to the other side of earth and the two year reverse orbit begun.
The missing time of the first half reverse orbit from 188/365.24 X the 48 hours = not 24 hours 40 minutes but 23 hours and 20 minutes. The faster half is the fall winter half. Earth is closest the sun January 3. In 1241 BC earth was closest the sun in November. The faster half orbit is in winter when earth is closest to the sun. The more sped up half orbit must be the winter half.
We are still missing 40 minutes just as in the Missing Day Story, till the other half orbit is added.
Jericho may have fallen Saturday February 17, 1241 BC and the walls fallen down from an earthquake caused from a sun miracle.
Most likely there was not a sun miracle at the fall of Jericho. Most likely king Wan's dream was February 5, 1239 BC when the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus, two years previous be when Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC and the sun move to the other side of the earth for a long day that Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then no sun miracle at the fall of Jericho, February 17, 1241 BC.
All the calculations here work the same way either way. Most likely king Wan's dream in his first year to his 35th year at the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC = 35th year the current year = king Wan's first year in 1239 BC = king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Then king Wan's first year could begin February 5, 1239 BC, at the sun miracle on the sixth day of the moon. It was written king Wan ruled over two thirds of China before his son Wu became emperor. King Wan's first year must be 1239 BC because the lunar eclipse on his 35th year probably was day 13 of 60, September 23, 1205 BC. Thus, king Wan's dream must be February 5, 1239 BC.
His battle with Emperor Wending in Wending's 12th year, February 5, 1239 BC, the first year of king Wan, that day in which he had victory and which he described the sun miracle in detail in what is known as king Wan's Dream. Thus, the sun miracle and his appointment of Heaven. Then in his 35th year = the current year; 34 years from 1239 BC to 1205 BC, king Wan stated that lunar eclipse was untimely.
The lunar eclipse was on day 13 of cycle 60. A lunar eclipse is normally on lunar day 15. Only day 13 was out of the 60 day cycle. A lunar eclipse can never be on lunar day 13. The Chinese counted the new moon exactly when the moon passed by the sun. Sun miracles and eclipses were omens to the Chinese for a change in emperor.
Thus, this lunar eclipse record on day 13 probably was September 23, 1205 BC. Chinese count the current year. Thus from king Wan's dream king in Wan's first year February 5, 1239 BC, his 35th year = the current year and not 35 years later, was this September 23, 1205 BC.
Joshua 23:1 "And it came to pass a longH7227 timeH4480 H3117 after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
"a long time" = many long days:
H4480 מִנֵּי מִנִּי מִן min minnı̂y minnêy min, min-nee', min-nay' For H4482; properly a part of; hence (prepositionally), from or out of in many
H3117 יוֹם yôm yome From an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours),
H7227 רַב rab rab By contraction from H7231; abundant (in quantity, size, age, number, rank, quality):
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leningrad Codex, Volume 1, Joshua, p.356:
Joshua 23:1 in the Hebrew Interlinear:
Joshua's long day was one of five long days in those two reverse orbit years. There may be other sun miracles, thus many long days to Joshua's death. Possibilities can be seen in the Chinese classics for Joshua. Even king Wan said on September 23, 1205 BC there had been many eclipses and many omens, whereupon he was imprisoned.
From emperor Wanting, not 1123 BC but +127 years = from 1250 BC, king Wan's dream this 12th year February 5, 1239 BC, one and a half years = one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day. King Wan's first year this king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC to his imprisonment on his 35th year, this September 23, 1205 BC.
Emperor Te-sin not from 1101 BC but + 126 years = from 1227 BC.
Joshua lived 110 years, from about 1320 BC to 1210 BC.
King Wan was imprisoned on this lunar eclipse, September 23, 1205 BC.
Barak and Deborah fought on the same day as Joshua at the battle of Merom against the same King Jabin, the sun moving 180° with earth's rotation for a long day on this battle February 5, 1240 BC. Thus, the sun stood still at noon that day also for Joshua to get the victory.
Joshua 11:1 "And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
Judges 4:7 "And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand."
The fall of Jericho must be February 17, 1241 BC. Yet, there may not have been a sun miracle that day.
Joshua 6:15 "And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times."
A sun miracle at the crossing of the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC and Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC and king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC two years later. Thus, from Joshua's long day one and a half orbits to king Wan's dream the missing 40 minutes are regained.
Then we may have found the 40 minutes in the Missing Day Story. 11 PM August 23, 1241 BC or 11 PM August 9, 1241 BC, may have been when Gideon attacked the Midianites at the beginning of the middle watch that year, slew 120,000 men and travelled 60 miles before turning back in victory before sunrise. Not possible in the dark and not possible in just the few hours of the morning twilight.
However, Gideon may have had twilight. In Judges 8:13 Gideon returned before the sun ascended. The picture is the sun was not in the sky all those hours till the sun rose. Thus, the dimness described in Isaiah 9. In August there are only five hours from the middle watch to sunrise at the 33rd parallel of Israel. It was dark from sunset at 6:35 PM to sun rise at 4:47 AM = five hours from the middle watch to sunrise.
Gideon may have had moon light to fight the battle.
Joshua's long day may have been Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC that would equal at noon, the first quarter moon rising in northern Israel, upon Gideon, and upon the town of Ajalon in Zebulun near to Nazareth.
Nevertheless, the context of the setting moon in the west in the valley of Ajalon, and the sun at noon on Gibeon makes the most sense = Joshua's long day, lunar day 21, on Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
The Jewish people had three watches in the night. The Romans had four watches in the night.
People can walk only about 20 miles in a 12 hour day. In those days people may have been able to walk 30 miles a day. Thus, with 36 hours of twilight = the sun standing still just below the western horizon, Gideon could travel this 60 miles before the sun rose in the west.
Nevertheless, the sun may rise in the east.
Gideon needed light, even twilight, to fight the battle.
Possibly the twilight of the battle of Gideon was the sun standing still and also being dimmed for 12 hours or the sun stopped = moved 180° with earth's rotation = below the horizon = evening or morning twilight.
Joshua asked God to "damam"H1826 the sun = to dim the sun, and also to stop the sun.
Joshua 10:12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou stillH1826 upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
H1826 דָּמַם dâmam daw-mam' A primitive root (compare H1724, H1820); to be dumb; by implication to be astonished, to stop; also to perish: - cease, be cut down (off), forbear, hold peace, quiet self, rest, be silent, keep (put to) silence, be (stand), still, tarry, wait. Total KJV occurrences: 30
Gideon's battle, perhaps being the same time, or six months half an orbit earlier, of Joshua's Long Day, the sun may pass west to east. Then at Joshua's request, the sun stand still at noon for 24 hours, then proceed to set in the east that Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC (or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC) . Then Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, the sun suddenly and brilliantly rise in the west.
Joshua's long day must be 24 hours longer than usual, and thus the three hundred men with Gideon would also grow faint.
Judges 8:5 "And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
8:6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?"
Judges 8:12 "And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
8:13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
Joshua 12:2 "Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;"
Habakkuk 3:4 "And his brightness was as the light (the sunrise); he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power."
Gideon's men were hungry because this was a long day of + 12 hours or + 24 hours, and possibly was Joshua's long day, and the men would have gone more than 24 hours without food. Just 10 days previous Joshua's long day would be Yom Kippur when Israel would fast for 24 hours.
The next day was Sunday the first day of the week when the sun suddenly ascended as it would on Jesus' resurrection, and following was Monday the second day of the week.
Joshua 10:32 "And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day,"
The second day of the week is Monday = Joshua taking Lachish.
Yet there should be darkness when Gideon fought his battle. This darkness is spoken of in Isaiah 9. This darkness would match the darkness of the Friday night Jesus was in the grave. Gideon returned before the sun ascended. If the same time of Joshua's long day, the sun may ascend in the west after a long night. A long night of about 36 hours would be enough time for Gideon to chase the Midianites 60 miles.
The sun rising in the west and setting in the east in 12 hours would equal a normal day of 12 hours. Thus, the sun may travel 540° east, but the necessary effect of 48 longer hours to counter two fewer days in a year's worth of a reverse orbit of the sun, may need even more longer hours. Then a long night before Joshua's long day may be needed to give enough hours, a net total of 48 hours of long days.
Joshua 10:26 "And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Exodus 17:12 "But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
The word for "going down" H935bow in Exodus 17:12 and Joshua 10:27, is different than the word for sunset H3996mabow in Joshua 1:4.
Joshua 1:4b "and untoH5704 the greatH1419 seaH3220 toward the going downH3996 of the sun,H8121 shall beH1961 your coast.H1366"
Joshua 10:27a "And it came to passH1961 at the timeH6256 of the going downH935 of the sun,H8121 that JoshuaH3091 commanded,H6680 and they took them downH3381 off the trees,H4480 H5921 H6086 and castH7993 them intoH413 the caveH4631"
10:27 "And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
Thus, the sun at the timeH6256 = the end of Joshua's long day may have set in the east instead of the west, but probably the sun set in the west at the end of Joshua's long day.
Nevertheless, the picture is of the sun above at noon and the moon in the west above the Mediterranean Sea for 24 hours. Then the moon continuing to set in the west and the sun then continuing in six more hours to set in the west.
H6256 עֵת ‛êth ayth From H5703; time, especially (adverbially with preposition) now, when, etc.: - + after, [al-] ways, X certain, + continually, + evening, long, (due) season, so [long] as, [even-, evening-, noon-] tide, ([meal-], what) time, when. Total KJV occurrences: 296
Nevertheless, this Saturday August 10, 1241 BC may have begun as a normal day. Only this was the half orbit point when the sun and moon and planets could all move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. The half orbit point from the crossing of the Jordan River February 4, 1241 BC, and the half orbit point from when the sun may return on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
Either the sun stood still in the sky for 24 hours and earth continued in a reverse orbit of the sun. Or, the sun stood still in the sky for 12 hours and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
The moon 21 day moon on this August 10, 1241 BC, would stand over the west, the Ajalon valley where Joshua was persuing, and the sun stay in the middle of the sky for 24 hours. Thus, the sun at noon would soon be setting in the west and the sunlight be blinding the vision of the Israelites as they pursued the Amorites. Thus the sun did not proceed to set for 24 hours.
Joshua 8:29 "And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day."
Joshua 8:29 "And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 he hangedH8518 onH5921 a treeH6086 untilH5704 eventide:H6256 H6153 and as soon as the sunH8121 was down,H935 "
The same word for the sun was "down" H935 in both Joshua 8:29 and Joshua 10:27..
Likewise, in the same chapter 1 of Joshua:
Joshua 1:15 "Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising."
"toward the sunrising" that is the east. On Joshua's long day the east may be toward the sun setting. And again, a sudden sunrise in the east, both Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC and Sunday August 25, 1241 BC. Or both Saturday, February 3, 1241 BC to Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC and Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC to Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC.
Yet, we only know the sun stood still for 12 or 24 hours for Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC and for 12 hours on February 5, 1239 BC.
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
Judges 8:28 "Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
The same forty years from the same year of 1241 BC of Joshua's long day. The sun may ascend suddenly in the east the next day from Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, Sunday August 11, 1241 BC. There are many combinations where the sun may move suddenly from the east.
Here are ten verses with sunrising:
Numbers 21:11 "And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising."
Numbers 34:15 "The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising."
Deuteronomy 4:41 "Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;"
Deuteronomy 4:47 "And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;"
Joshua 1:15 "Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising."
Joshua 13:5 "And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath."
Joshua 19:12 "And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,"
Joshua 19:27 "And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,"
Joshua 19:34 "And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising."
Asher means strait, level, happy.
Judges 20:43 "Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising."

On the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, Joshua may have witnessed the sun rising in the west and setting in the east. Then when he saw the same thing on Joshua's long day he would know God was already moving the sun - thus his request to stop the sun in the sky.
On Joshua's long day, both the sun may have been setting in the east and rising in the west.
Often when the sun is setting and there are clouds, the sun shines beneath the clouds.
Most likely Joshua made his request on a normal day when the sun was at noon and the moon setting in the west.
Thus, the long day of Joshua was a type of the burial of Jesus, when a stone was rolled to the cave entrance. That day, Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC = the Saturday, April 4, 33 AD, the sun may have rose in the west and set in the east.
It was written that the sun rose in the west and set in the east the week before Noah entered the ark. The Egyptians recorded that four several times the sun rose in the west and set in the east. The sun retreated ten steps for Hezekiah, probably the whole sky of 10 hours on the sun dial, and equals the sun must have rose in the west and set in the east April 4, 33 AD on the sabbath when Jesus was in the grave.
Thus Hezekiah rose from his sickness and entered the Temple on the third day. Jesus rose on the third day, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
The word for "bow" H935, down can also mean a voluntary act. Thus, rather than being a typical sunset, the sun moved down.
Psalm 18:9 "He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet."
Thus, the sun and moon and planets were moved down, around the earth. And being moved down were not moved west but east.
John 19:30 "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
Such as Jesus bowed his head and died.
There being darkness, so there being evening. After about three hours, the sun would suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east that resurrection Sunday morning, April 5, 33 AD. Then the sun may also suddenly and brilliantly rise in the morning about three hours after the sun set in the east, Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC. Or Sunday February 4, 1241 BC.
The legend of the phoenix is the sun bird died in the flames of the sun, and then rose to life from the ashes. The phoenix is an angel, and angels do not die. Even the phoenix must move the sun on the resurrection morning for a sudden sunrise. Thus, the connection of the resurrection with the phoenix.
John 9:4 "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
Isaiah 21:11 "The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
21:12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come."
The Sunday of Jesus' resurrection April 5, 33 AD, may have been a short day. Because the sun should suddenly rise in the east to the noon position. The daylight of that day may have been not much more than six hours.
Matthew 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
There may also have been an earthquake at Jesus' resurrection because the sun had suddenly moved. The sun travelling east at 30 million miles per hour, suddenly stopping at Israel's 3 AM position, then bouncing back at 20 million miles per hour travelling west 180°. The sudden gravitational tidal pull of the sun and moon should produce an earthquake on earth.
Job 17:12 "They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness."
"According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), earthquakes can be up to three times more likely during high tides."
The moon also has earthquakes that are also more likely on the full moon.
Earth's crust is shaking less as people stay home
Many sun miracles in China, such as the sun rising in the west in 230 BC, occurred at the same time as an earthquake that made the city walls fall down. Often in Chinese records of sun miracles there are records of earthquakes as well.
There were often sun miracles in years ending in X68 BC = even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From 268 BC to 230 BC are 38 years. Thus, a sun miracle in 268 BC may mark the 38 years of Jesus' life to the sun miracle in 230 BC.
"In the fortieth year (267 BC) of King Chao of Ch'in, the Heir died."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume VII, p.311
The emperor often was killed because of the omen of a sun miracle. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle the year before in 268 BC.
Thus, earthquakes such as this one from January 26, 1699 AD can be dateable to the day. Thus, earthquakes were associated with the Thunderbird = Phoenix = God's angel moving the sun around the earth in ancient times. The totem pole often has a thunderbird on top = has also two horns. Just Google "totem poles BC".
The significance is the Thunderbird on the top of the totem pole.
In China dragons make thunder and live in the sky.
In Japan the dragon is a flying lake monster.
Nevertheless, this thunderbird, flying dinosaur, may be the Cadborosaurus = Ogopogo on the west coast. The Ogopogo can fly, as can the Cadborosaurus, a flying dinosaur, and there is an account of the Cadborosaurus fighting a killer whale in "Discovering Cadborosaurus".
"A Captain A. M. Davies, related his encounter with a huge sea-serpent of San Diego about twenty years before (before 1932). It was "fighting with a whale. The serpent had wound its body around the whale twice, and as we neared it stuck its head and part of its body about thirty feet out of the water and calmly surveyed our approaching ship"
Discouvering Cadborosaurus, by Paul Leblond, p.28.
A specific date in the past like this one that can be dateable to the day, January 26, 1699 AD, even the hour, these trees were submerged, could equal the time of day on a specific day before Joshua that would show no elapsed time such as the 24 hours on the day the sun stood still for Joshua. Thus, some people would not believe the Bible.
Seismic event at Kidd Mine site..at precisely 1:41 a.m Sunday morning, November 22, 2020.
The phoenix may be the Thunderbird.
Psalm 18:6 "In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me."
2 Samuel 22:1 "And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
22:2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
22:4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
22:5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
22:6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
22:7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
22:10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
22:11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
22:12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
22:14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
22:15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
22:17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me."
Habakkuk 3:1 "A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3:3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
3:4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
3:5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
3:6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
3:8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
3:9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
3:10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
3:11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
3:12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger."
The thick clouds appeared when the Thunderbird appeared because the Thunderbird, the phoenix, was so bright. Earthquakes happened when the Thunderbird appeared as well = God moved the sun around the earth, to the other side of the earth.
Deuteromomy 33:2 "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them."
2 Kings 20:11 "And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
Thus, the sun setting in the west, rise from the west to set in the east, passing ten hours.
West and east:
Isaiah 24:14 "They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea."
Isaiah 24:14 "They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the westH3220.
24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the eastH217, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea."
H3220 יָם yâm yawm From an unused root meaning to roar; a sea (as breaking in noisy surf) or large body of water; specifically (with the article) the Mediterranean; sometimes a large river, or an artificial basin; locally, the west, or (rarely) the south: - sea (X -faring man, [-shore]), south, west (-ern, side, -ward).

Possibly the sun rose in the west on Joshua's long day. Possibly the sun rose in the west when Noah entered the ark. Herodotus said the Egyptians recorded the sun rose from the west and set in the east some four several times. The sun may have rose in the west and set in the east the Sabbath day when Jesus was in the tomb before his resurrection.
The sun rose in the west to the meridian in China for Lu Yang in about 464 BC, also in 230 BC and on Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC. Thus, the sun rising in the west and setting in the east on Israel.
The sun that rose in the west, or from noon, to set in the east for Hezekiah would rise in the west in China and pass to the meridian = noon position in China.
230 BC is 38 years, the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life, after 268 BC = 300 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 164 BC is a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Joshua 10:9 "And Joshua came to them suddenly, all the night had he gone up from Gilgal."
The Dead Sea Scroll words in bold.
Joshua 10:9 "Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, having marched the whole night from Gilgal"
Joshua 9:16 "And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
9:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim."
The town of Kirjathjearim is mentioned in connection with the ark. Even the ark was kept at Gibeon for a time also, the cities of Gibeon.
1 Samuel 6:21 "And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you."
1 Samuel 7:2 "And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD."
20 years from 1200 BC is 1180 BC.
"In his (empreror Te-sin from 1126 BC) 48th year (1179 BC), the E goat was seen. Two suns appeared together."
Two suns means the sun stood still for two days. Thus, there may be a sun miracle for Samuel on this day in 1179 BC.
1 Samuel 7:9 "And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel."
There was thunder on Joshua's long day as well.
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down greatH1419 stonesH68 from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
H1419 = huge stones.
H1419 גָּדֹל גָּדוֹל gâdôl gâdôl gaw-dole', gaw-dole' From H1431; great (in any sense); hence older; also insolent: - + aloud, elder (-est), + exceeding (-ly), + far, (man of) great (man, matter, thing, -er, -ness), high, long, loud, mighty, more, much, noble, proud thing, X sore, (´) very.

7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."
Joshua's long day was the battle at Gibeon, not far from Mizpeh.
1 Samuel 14:18 "And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel."
2 Samuel 6:2 "And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims."
2 Samuel 6:7 "And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God."
2 Samuel 6:13 "And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings."
"they that bare the ark" were the Levite priests, going two and two.
1 Chronicles 15:2 "Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever."
2 Chronicles 35:3 "And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel"
Thus the ark of the covenant was carried by priests two and two from the time since the Exodus. The temple was begun 240 years from the Exodus in 1041 BC = 200 years 4 X 50 year jubiles from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC = 650 years 13 X 50 year jubiles from 1241 BC to September 7, 591 BC = the 70 year captivity to 521 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
The ark was to go into the temple, but we read here, the priests still carried the ark four hundred years later, and the ark was again brought into the temple, in this 625 BC, this 18th year of Josiah's reign.
625 BC was year 30 from the 49 year jubile from 654 BC.
The 18th year of Josiah's life was 633 BC. The 18th year of Josiah's reign was 626 BC. The ark was brought into Solomon's temple in the 7th year of building from 1041 BC = 1034 BC. From 1033 BC to 633 BC are 400 years, and from 625 BC are 650 years + 3 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, on Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD.
Matthew 27:50 "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
There may have been a sun miracle in 1179 BC, = 5 years before emperor Wu in 1174 BC, when two suns appeared together and the E-goat was seen in Te-sin's 48th year from 1126 BC = 1179 BC, that may be the end of this twenty years the ark abode at Kirjathjearim from 1198 BC = 43 years from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC when the High Priest Eli was 98 years old.
1179 BC is 63 years after Joshua's conquest = the 49 year jubile in 1242 BC. 9 X 7 = 63, and thus a sabbath year in 1179 BC.
The first year of emperor Ching in China was the spring of 1169 BC = sin mao = year 28 of cycle 60 = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Also, from 1178 BC to the fourteenth year of the destruction of Jerusalem in 591 BC is 578 BC = 600 years later.
Ezekiel 40:1 "In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
Isaiah 45:6 "That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else."
That is, the sun rose in the west like the sun rose in the west and set in the east for Isaiah, the sign of healing to Hezekiah.
Here is a list of the sun rising:
Numbers 2:3 "And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah."
Joshua 12:1 "Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:"
Psalm 50:1 "A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof."
Psalm 113:3 "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised."
Isaiah 41:25 "I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay."
Isaiah 45:6 "That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else."
Isaiah 59:19 "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
Malachi 1:11 "For from the risingH4217 of the sun even unto the going downH3996 of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts."
The rising and setting of the sun may also refer to God moving the sun.

Mark 16:2 "And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
Judges 7:19 "So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands."
The night ended at the middle watch, 11 PM, when the sun may have rose in the west on Gideon.
On Joshua's long day the army climbed from Gilgal to Gibeon in the first watch of the night.
Joshua 10:9 "Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night."
Joshua 10:7 "So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour."
The sun may rise in the west or the east on Gideon and on Joshua.
The sun should be as bright as normal when Joshua asked God to Damam - stop, dim, the sun. The sun standing still in the sky should be dimmed to leave the same daily coral layer.
Joshua's long day was either on a first quarter moon or a last quarter moon.
The last quarter moon rises in the east at midnight, 12 AM on August 10, 1241 BC.
Then the sun "hasted not to go down a whole day" because the sun was moving west east and with the moon visible and setting in the west, the sun could not pass from the noon position till the 24 hour day had passed. Thus, the sun was moving with earth's rotation and did not haste to set, that is, did not move faster to set in the east. Thus, the sun would be in the middle of the sky in the 12 PM position when the moon stayed in the valley of Ajalon in the east for 24 hours.
Or, this August 10, 1241 BC was a normal day till Joshua made his request to God to make the sun stand still at the noon position in the sky.
Then, the sun at noon and the moon almost setting in the west in the Ajalon valley when Joshua made his request.
Then "hasted not to go down a whole day" = God must have moved the sun with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky for 12 hours or 24 hours, then the sun may proceed to set in the west.
The word for "in" the valley of Ajalon is the letter Bet. Bet means "from" or "house". Thus, the moon would have passed west to east "from" Ajalon in the west. It is hard to spot the six day moon rise in the eastern horizon at noon.
Thus, the moon visible rising in the west to proceeding to set in the east, whereupon Joshua in the sight of all Israel asked God to make the noon day sun stand still and the six day moon stand still. Then the sun "hasted not to go down a whole day" because the sun was moving west east and with the moon visible and setting in the west, the sun could not pass from the noon position till the 24 hour day had passed.
God was moving the sun 20 million miles per hour west east as earth rotates to keep the sun at the noon position for 24 hours.
Or likewise, the last quarter moon was setting in the west when the sun was at noon when Joshua made his request to God to stop the sun and stop the moon from setting.
The greatest probability is the sun set in the west on Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. And God moved the sun with earth's rotation at noon above Gibeon for 12 or 24 hours = the moon stood still over the west, over the Mediterranean Sea, for 12 or 24 hours, finally the moon set in the west, and then the sun set in the west.
If God moved the sun only 180° and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun, God may move the sun again, suddenly in the east Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC and earth continue in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Joshua's long day may be Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC at the 21st day of the seventh month = the moon on the western horizon over the Ajalon valley with the sun at noon. Thus, the moon may be at either side of the noon day sun at either date.
Gideon's battle in Judges 7, 6, 8, may have been at Joshua's crossing of the Jordan Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = Joshua's long day half an orbit later, August 10, 1241 BC. Thus, Joshua's long day may be either date.
Ajloun is a town in Jordan, 30 miles North East of Gibeon. If the moon rose in the west ahead of the sun, the noon sun over Gibeon. Then, the six day moon should be setting in the east or near Ajloun Jordan.
Ajloun Jordan is where Gideon fought the Midianites, perhaps on the same day as Joshua's long day and certainly the same year as Joshua's long day, = the land had the same forty years rest from this battle.
All these forty years are the same forty year period from 1241 BC to 1201 BC:
Judges 3:11 "And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forthH3318 in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
"goeth forth" H3318:
Exodus 33:8 "And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was goneH3318 into the tabernacle."
Joshua 11:23 "So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war."
Deuteronomy 6:5 "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years."
Matthew 5:45 "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
For the sun to rise on the resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD is a promise of the resurrection to both the good and to the bad.
From a sun miracle at the death of Moses' sister Miriam on the new moon the first month of the year February 4, 1242 BC to this battle of Deborah and Barak probably February 4, 1240 BC should be nine sun miracles. Two sun miracles, one at every half orbit = the sun moving to one side of earth and earth flowing out of the reverse orbit of the sun, then the next day the sun moving to the other side of the earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun again. Then, February 5, 1239 BC the sun moving back 180° = standing still at noon in Israel = standing still at sunset in the west in China and = king Wan's dream.
Judges 8:28 "Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
1 Samuel 4:18 "And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
Gideon's battle must be before Samuel.
Again the forty years "he (Eli) had judged Israel forty years." From Joshua's long day in 1241 BC to 1201 BC.
"forty years" Judges 3:11, Judges 5:31, Judges 8:28, 1 Samuel 4:18.
Joshua 11:23 "And the land rested from war."
Gideon's battle must be before Samuel.
Josephus wrote there were records of sun miracles kept in the Temple: "That the day was lengthened at this time, and was longer than ordinary, is expressed in the books laid up in the temple."
The works of Flavius Josephus, Volume 1, p.285
Josephus wrote: "When Joshua spake, seemed to him and those with him, (the sun) to be over Gibeon, and the moon to be over the valley of Ajalon. This valley in all likelyhood, took its name from some adjacent town, but then, as there are three Ajalon mentioned in Scripture, one in the tribe of Ephraim - 1 Chronicles 6:69, another in Zabulon - Judges 12:12, and another in Dan - Joshua 19:42, it is reasonable to think that the place here spoken of was in Dan, the most remote province in Gibeon; for we must suppose these two places were at some considerable distance, otherwise Joshua could not see the sun and moon both appear at the same time, as it were probable they both were in his eye when he uttered those words."
Joshua's long day on August 24, 1241 BC would mean the moon should rise in the east above Ajalon in Zebulun by Nazareth. The sun may move 360° any time, and this Ajalon be in the north east in Zebulun. Nevertheless, moving the sun on the half orbit point, probably August 10, 1241 BC, is far more simpler - and the moon would be setting on Ajalon in the west.
In January the path of the sun is low in the south. In June the path of the moon is low in the south.
The sun moving west to east and now at the noon position when Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still over Gibeon for 24 hours. Then, the sun would proceed to travel east, meaning the sun would be in the eyes of the Amorites. Thus, the Amorites would all the more flee because when they faced Israel the sun was in their eyes.
The night after the sun had set in the east would have given the Amorites time to escape and regroup. Even the sudden dawn in the east would only give light for about 6 hours that next day.
The Amorites worshipped Baal, the Sun, and the moon too. Thus, when Joshua in the audience of the Hebrews and fighting Amorites asked God to stop the sun in the sky and the sun did stop in the sky, the Amorites would be terrified and fear the God of Heaven. Not far from Ajalon is Bethshemesh meaning House of the Sun. The moon standing still in Ajalon would terrify the Amorites as they worshipped the moon too.
Joshua 15:10 "And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:"
Joshua 18:17 "And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,"
Bethshemesh means house of the sun H1053. "Enshemesh" means fountain of the sun H5885.
Gideon may have crossed the river Jordan south of Adam where the river was backed up, and where the water was still and easy to cross, while Joshua and the children of Israel crossed on dry ground and the same day hiked up to Gerrizim and Ebal to hear the law = one long day, a sun miracle. Thus, the water called the spring of the sun.
Shemesh is Hebrew for the sun. The Amorites were Sun worshipers. The Egyptians worshiped the Sun, Ra. Pharaoh Ramses was named after the sun. They too would be terrified when the sun did not rise for three days in the ninth plague of Exodus.
Hebrews 2:10 "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings."
Joshua 5:13 "And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
5:15 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so"
John 1:27 "He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose."
Thus, this captain could be Jesus, for Joshua worshipped him. Then, this captain would be at the front of battle at Gibeon and hear when Joshua asked God to make the sun, and moon, stand still in the sky. And could intercede for Joshua to God.
"The building of an altar after several episodes of the conquest (8:30 - 8:35) is located at an earlier place in the story in 4Qjosha before Joshua 5:1 immediately after the crossing of the river Jordan."
The Earliest Text of the Hebrew Bible, Large Scale Differnces, p. 135
The possibility the battle of Gideon was the same day Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan on dry ground = Gideon also crossing the Jordan on dry ground just below Zaretan and Adam 35 miles up from Jericho; where the Jordan rose up an heap of water.
You can try to look 30 miles in the distance. To be able to see this heap of water from 30 miles away, the dam of water would have to be very high.
Exodus 15:16 "Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O LORD, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased.
15:17 You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O LORD, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established."
Thus the day Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan, he went to Shechem, where the sanctuary was to be, to read the law.
This was the tenth day of the first month, could either be Saturday February 3, 1241 BC or Sunday February 4, 1241 BC. The sudden sunrise of the sun in the east on Gideon in Judges 8:13 could be a Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = Jesus' resurrection Sunday morning, April 5, 33 AD.
Joshua 5:1 "And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel."
"westward" is used instead of sunset, perhaps because the sun may have just set in the east.
Joshua 10:13 "And the sun stood still,H1826 and the moon stayed,H5975 until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stoodH5975 still in the midst of heaven, and hastedH213 not to go downH935 about a wholeH8549 day.H3117"
The word stood still = H8126 is damam meaning to dim or slow. The word stayed = H5975 is amad means to stand or stop. The word hasted = H213 is oots and means to hurry or withdraw. A "whole" day = H8549 is tamiym and means entire. All three appear to describe the sun rising in the west and while passing to the east Joshua asked God to slow the sun's movement east at noon to make it stand still in the sky for a complete, entire, day of 24 hours.
The word for the moon stayed "in" Ajalon is the letter "Bet". "Bet" means "from". The character is the shape of a single room house. Thus, the word means house. Thus, anything leaving the house is "from". Thus, the moon rising from the west, from Ajalon, ahead of the sun. At midnight the six day moon would be setting in the west. Then the six day moon rise in the west, "from" "Bet" over Ajalon, with the sun 90° behind. Thus, Joshua could have seen the moon all that night and day, and by noon Joshua would see it nearly set in the east.
There, the seven day moon on the eastern horizon, standing over Aijalon in Zebulun. The Ajalon Joshua spoke of, "thou moon in the valley of Ajalon" may have rather been Aijalon in Zebulun to the north east.
The six day moon rising in the east is hard to spot in the noon day sun. Thus, Joshua would see the moon rise and the sun rise travelling east. Thus, Joshua could point both to the sun and the moon when he asked God to make them "dim" that is slow down from their westward movement. The sun would be travelling 40 million miles per hour east, and thus slow to 20 million miles per hour to stand still in the sky.
Or God suddenly moved the sun at 20 million miles per hour east 360° to make the sun stand still at noon on Israel for 24 hours.
The sun would stand still at noon both for Joshua as he chased the Amorites westward down Bethoron, and for Gideon as he chased the Midianites eastward down mount Tabor. The sun setting in the east. Thus, the people would be looking east for the sun to rise. Then a few hours later, the sun would suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday August 11, 1241 BC. This sudden sunrise would be a type of Jesus' resurrection Sunday. Thus, the resurrection Sunday at the end of life's day.
Ephesians 5:14 "Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."
1 Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
The middle watch at which Gideon attacked would begin just before midnight possibly in August 10, 1241 BC or February 4, 1241 BC. Possibly the sun suddenly rose in the east or west, probably in the west, about 11 PM at the beginning of the middle watch. It is very unusual to fight a battle at night. There must have been more than moonlight. Thus, the sun must have risen in the west shortly after the beginning of the middle watch. Thus, Gideon could chase the Midianites in the day light.
"139 BC June 11 China. "Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan reign period, summer, 4th month, day wushen [45]. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.89.
A meteor fire ball can brighten the sky like the sun, like last night December 5, 2016, in Siberia. However, some records state the sun came out at night.
"While Bhagavan Aditya [the sun] illumines the god's mountain, continuously going around, he heats only half the land up to Lokaloka Mountain, and he covers half [with darkness]. Not approving of this, Priyavrata, having accumulated super human power the worship of the Lord, [thought] 'I shall make night into day'. With a chariot built of light of the same speed, he went seven times around following the movement of the sun like a second sun."
Bhagavatam verse 5.1.30, Mysteries of the Sacred Universe, p.58
Ruth 2:12 "The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust."
Isaiah 8:8 "And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel."

Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healingH4832 in his wingsH3671; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
healingH4832 מַרְפֵּא marpê' mar-pay' From H7495; properly curative, that is, literally (concretely) a medicine, or (abstractly) a cure; figuratively (concretely) deliverance, or (abstractly) placidity: - ([in-]) cure (-able), healing (-lth), remedy, sound, wholesome, yielding. Total KJV occurrences: 16
wingsH3671 כָּנָף kânâph kaw-nawf' From H3670; an edge or extremity; specifically (of a bird or army) a wing, (of a garment or bed clothing) a flap, (of the earth) a quarter, (of a building) a pinnacle: - + bird, border, corner, end, feather [-ed], X flying, + (one an-) other, overspreading, X quarters, skirt, X sort, uttermost part, wing ([-ed]). Total KJV occurrences: 109
Psalm 18:10 "And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wingsH3671 of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Deuteronomy 33:2 "And he said, the Lord came from Sinai, and shined upon us from Seir; he rose up from mount Paran; he came with ten thousands of saints at his right hand."
33:26 "There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky."
The Chinese also recorded the light of the dragon was brighter than the sun - you could not look at it, and quick like lightning.
The moon must stay at its same apparent distance from the sun. So the sun may appear seven times brighter, and the moon as bright as the sun. The sun travelling with earth's rotation or moving ahead of earth's rotation, would have the moon following also.
In 85 BC: "In the consulship of Lucius Valerius and Gaius Matius a burning shield scattering sparks ran across the sky at sunset from west to east."
Pliny: Natural History Book II, Chapter XXXIV
39 years from 85 BC is about 45 BC. And again from 45 BC to 7 BC are 38 years. Thus, sun miracles 39 years apart may point to the 38 and a half years of Jesus' life.
David reigned as King from 1084 BC to his death in 1045 BC. 1045 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus the sun also may have been moved west to east.
In 133 BC: "Under the consulate of Africanus and Fabius, the sun was seen shining at midnight."
This has been suggested it was a comet that year. Nevertheless, the record states it was the sun.
This must be the same event in China. Thus, the date must be June 11, 139 BC, six years further back:
Then on Sunday, June 11, 139 BC this was written for the emperor of China now the emperor of the Han dynasty:
"Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan period, summer, 4th month, day wushen 45. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.189.
Possibly the sun rose in the west just after sunset. Thus, what they saw was not a second sun, but the sun moving 180°. This could also describe the sun standing still for 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, revolving around the earth 7 X 180° = three and a half days, with earth's rotation such as at the:
Matthew 28:1 "In the end(G3796) of the Sabbath,G4521 as it began to dawnG2020 towardG1519 the firstG3391 day of the week,G4521 cameG2064 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 andG2532 theG3588 otherG243 MaryG3137 to seeG2334 theG3588 sepulchre.G5028,"
The first "day" of the resurrection in all four Gospels is in italics because the word "day" is not there. Simply, the day started after sunset. Thus, the end of the seventh day and the beginning of the first day was at sunset when it was not daylight, was not "Yom", was not "day".
The three days of darkness in Exodus are seven days in the Midrashim. Simply, 7 X 12 hours = three days + 12 hours = 3 X 24 hours + 12 hours = 84 hours, longer hours.
The number has to be an odd number for the sun to be on the other side of earth, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun and an even number for the sun to move back and earth flow out of a reverse orbit of the sun.
The new moon was Thursday, March 15, 1281 BC. The Sabbath began Friday evening, March 16, 1281 BC. Thus, this Sabbath near the new moon, March 17, 1281 BC, could be a type of the darkness perhaps the Friday night, a long night, when Jesus was in the grave, April 3, 33 AD.
A Sabbath of seven Sabbaths the night Jesus was crucified. Seven Sabbaths were counted from the Sabbath of the Passover 50 days to Pentecost. Nevertheless, Yao's long day where the sun stood still on China for 9 X 12 hour days Saturday, March 31; Whereupon Joseph was made governor over all of Egypt. New years, April 1, 2315 BC was the full moon. The second year of famine would begin eight years later in 2307 BC.
The 49 year jubile was on April 3, 33 AD, all the way back from Adam in 4672 BC. Thus, the year 7 X 7 = 49 years, may have been matched by a long night of 7 X 12 hours.
4672 BC was also in 50 year jubiles to Jesus' beginning his ministry, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
From April 3, 31 AD to April 3, 33 AD are two years = 2 X 48 hours sped up orbit = 12 hour longer day April 3, 31 AD and an 84 hour longer day = 7 X 12 hours, April 3, 33 AD.
From the last day of the 7 days of unleavened bread of the Passover, the last quarter moon, April 3, 31 AD to the full moon, the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, the sun standing still in China and not rising in Israel for 7 X 12 = 84 hours = the Sabbaton. March 15, 1281 BC was the new moon. Thus, with the sun and moon together on the other side of earth, Egypt could be kept in total darkness.
Joshua 6:4 "And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets."
The pattern of seven times on the sabbath = the sun may have moved 7 X 180° with earth's rotation, a long night, the sabbath before Jesus' resurrection.
Leviticus 23:5 "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
This was the "first day" = Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, not the eighth day, Sunday, April 12, 5 AD. Nevertheless, Jesus appeared to his disciples on the eighth day also.
Thus, both Saturday, April 4, 33 AD was the sabbath as also Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
A long twilight may not even have been much noticed as much as a long total darkness, except that a long period of time had passed. If the sun did not rise or move, sundials would not tell the passing of time.
Zechariah 14:5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
Isaiah 42:16 "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."
Eighth century BC earthquake "Earthquake debris at six sites (Hazor, Deir 'Alla, Gezer, Lachish, Tell Judeideh, and 'En Haseva), is tightly confined stratigraphically to the middle of the 8th century BC, with dating errors of ~30 years"
750 BC is the middle of the 8th century = the death of King Uzziah in 751 BC.
Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
Zechariah 14:5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."
Psalm 112:4 "Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."
Zechariah 14:7b "that at evening time it shall be light."
There may have been a long twilight at evening, when Jesus was crucified Friday night April 3, 33 AD or before Jesus rose from the grave, Saturday night, April 4, 33 AD.
Matthew 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
Luke 24:29 "But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them."
Romans 13:11 "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."
The resurrection day and night far spent.
Luke 24:33 "And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."
That evening the two on the way to Emmaus that met Jesus, at evening, may have had twilight to walk by, or to run by, in that eight miles back from Emmaus. The fastest one may run would take one hour to complete 8 miles.
"until the sun sets on the eighth day"
4QMMT 75
Nevertheless, the resurrection day, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD may have been a normal 12 hour day.
Zechariah 14:5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
Likewise the earth quake prophesied in Zechariah may have been fulfilled on Jesus' resurrection, described in Matthew 28:2 "behold, there was a great earthquake".
Israel would see the sun just set and sitting below the horizon and the full moon just rise above the horizon. Rome would see the sun just above the western horizon. If the sun was red the moon would be blood red also. The lunar eclipse that night at 7PM in Israel was partial and not full, so the moon should not naturally appear red as in the middle of a total lunar eclipse.
Then that Friday night may have been prolonged, the sun moving with earth's rotation on the other side of earth. Then the rising moon may reflect a red sun, thus a blood moon. Moreover, this full moon may stay overhead for multiples of 12 hours. Even, that Friday night may be 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, longer than normal, and the blood moon visible for 84 hours, even the more notable.
Joel 2:1 "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
Joel 2:10 "The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:"
Joel 2:31 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,"
John 19:31 "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away."
Nevertheless, April 1, 2315 BC was eight years before the sojourn of Jacob into Egypt in 2307 BC. Thus, Yao's long day of nine days should have been on the full moon of April 1, 2315 BC.
The 9 suns of Yao, the sun stood still in the sky for 9 days, or 9 X 12 hours, could also have occurred April 1, 2315 BC. Then half an orbit later October 2, 2315 BC the sun may move back, and forward again. Earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, then back into a reverse orbit of the sun. October 2, 2315 BC was the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month. Thus, there could have been a sun miracle on the same 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month in 2315 BC, as September 13, 7 BC, as when Jesus may have been born.
Ecclessiastes 11:8 "But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity."

Ecclessiastes 1:5 "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."
Deuteronomy 33:2 "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them."
Nahum 1:5 "The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth heaves at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are shattered because of him."
The resurrection morning may been the sun setting in the east on Saturday, April 4, 33 AD, then three hours later the sun suddenly rising in the east on Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. Then also, perhaps the sun standing still in the noon day sky for 12 hours, proceeding to set in the west as normal when the two walked with Jesus to Emmaus (probably near Gibeon where the sun stood still) at sunset. Then the daylight that day be about 18 hours all told.
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years."
Judges 7:23 "And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites."
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
Habakkuk 3:7 "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble."
Isaiah 9:1 "Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
Isaiah 60:2 "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
Luke 1:17 "And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Luke 1:78 "Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Luke 2:30 "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."
Simeon may have seen the light of a sun miracle on Jesus' birth, possibly September 12, 7 BC, and know the 8 days to his circumcision and 33 days his mother's purification = 41 days from lunar day 17. From 41 days, 12 days to the next new moon September 24 = 29 days to that next new moon October 23, would equal the new moon for the nineth month, and thus Simeon may have known the day Jesus' parents would come into the temple to present their child.
The new moon, October 23, 7 BC:
Luke 2:36 "And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem."
Anna was 84 years old when she met Jesus and Joseph and Mary in the temple. 12 X 7 years = 84 years = the importance of 7 years.
John 12:35 "Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth."
Joel 2:1 "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
Joel 2:10 "The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:"
"The earth shall quake":
Matthew 27:51 "And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
Matthew 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
Joel 2:30 "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come."
These verses may describe the darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross; the full moon reflecting a blood red sun; the sun rising in the west and setting in the east to the morning position; the sun then suddenly rising in the east with Jesus' resurrection.
Joel speaks of Jesus' return when the sun will be darkened.
And also when the sun stood still for about 10 X 12 hour days, probably 9 X 12 hours and earth flowed into or out of a reverse orbit, in China in emperor Kin's eighth year about 1732 BC.
490 years later was Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC. 490 years back from 1732 BC to 2222 BC = the sun miracle the first year of emperor Shun of China and the sun miracle the 14th year of Shun in 2207 BC = 2200 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC. The same 49 year cycle right to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Back from 1732 BC 38 years to 1769 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
2208 BC was a 7 year jubile.
Levi lived 137 years. If Levi was born when Joseph was born in 2345 BC, then he would die in 2207 BC; 2200 years to Jesus' birth = a type of the priesthood.
Exodus 6:16 "And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years."
Judges 18:30 "And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land."
Gershon was the son of Moses, not Manasseh. Here you can see part of the wall of this city in Dan.
1 Kings 12:30 "And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan."
1 Kings 13:2 "And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee."
2 Kings 22:1 "Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath."
Then Josiah was 39 years old, the same age Jesus was.
2 Kings 23:5 "And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven."
2 Kings 23:11 "And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
23:12 And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron."
Who Was “Natan-Melech” the King’s Servant? A seal bearing the name of Nathanmelech.
"His 1st year was ke-yew (46th of cycle 60, = B.C. 611)"
The Chinese Classics, p.164.
2 Kings 21:19 "Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah."
From 643 BC are the 31 years Josiah reigned to 612 BC.
Amon reigned two years from 645 BC to 643 BC, and Josiah reigned 31 years from 644 BC/643 BC to 613 BC/612 BC.
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
The thirtieth year of the fifty year jubiles from 1241 BC = 611 BC; 20 more years to the captivity and destruction of Jerusalem in 591 BC.
"His (King Seang. Note named Ch'ing) 32nd year was sin-ch'ow, the 1st year of E-kaon, the duke Ling of T'sin."
The Chinese Classics
"32nd year of Duke Jing of Qi. A broom star appeared...Duke Jing said: A broom star has appeared in the northeast. This corresponds to the astrological space of [the state of] Qi.."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.110.
This should be 618 BC not 516 BC.
"His (King Ting) 1st year was yih-maou (52nd of cycle 60, = B.C. 605 BC).
The Chinese Classics, p.164.
Thus, the 49 year jubile in 605 BC = the first captivity of Jerusalem.
The 49 year jubile from this 1732 BC is 49 years to 1682 BC = the beginning of the 400 years of slavery in Egypt to the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC.
"In his (emperor Kin) 8th year, there was an inauspicious portent in the sky; - ten suns appeared together. In that year the emperor died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.124
Emperor Kin's first year was 1621 BC = 120 years further back = 1741 BC = the 50 year jubile to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
This sun miracle in 1733 BC would be about the 1750 BC that was the ancestor to a large group of R1b1.
"Two 3,800-year-old Cuneiform Tablets Found in Iraq Give First Glimpse of Hebrew Precursor." Dating from 1800 BC = the earliest Hebrew writing.
The meaning of the ten suns is that the sun stood still in the sky for ten days, or 10 X 12 hours. The sun on China, = the sun stood still on the other side of the earth from Israel for ten or nine or seven days = the same days there would be darkness in Israel.
Exodus 10:22 "And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:"
There were three days of darkness in Exodus 10:22, probably on the new moon, March 15, 1281 BC.
There are 103 days from the winter solstice to April 3, 33 AD = the festival of light in China.
Jesus went to the cross April 3, 33 AD.
1731 BC is even 50 year jubiles to the Exodus in 1281 BC. Emperor Chung K'ang's first year may be 2131 BC, the 26th of cycle 60 from 2636 BC, also even 17 X 50 year jubiles, 850 years, to 1281 BC.
Then ten suns appeared, that is the sun stood still for ten days in 1731 BC = 400 years after this 2131 BC. And also 2131 BC is 38 years after 2169 BC, as also 1731 BC is 37 years after 1768 BC pointing to Jesus' perfect life of 38 years.
That year emperor K'ung-Kea came to the throne in the 6th of cycle 60 = 1731 BC. The 49 year jubile to Jesus' crucifixion, April 3, 33 AD, was in 1732 BC.
Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD was also on a year 6 of cycle 60. That sabbath Saturday may have been a long day or long twilight = perhaps 7 X 12 hours longer, like this 10 days long day. The 10 days = 9 X 12 hours plus the day of 12 hours when the sun returned two and a half years later.
These Bible verses could also describe the sun revolving 7 X 180° east, leaving a long night in Israel, long day in China, from sunset Friday, April 3, 33 AD to the sun rising in the west and setting in the east April 4, 33 AD. Then the sun may have risen suddenly in the east the resurrection Sunday after only a few hours of dark after the sun had set in the east.
Job 17:12 "They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
17:13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness."
The resurrection morning may have seen the sun rise in the west and set in the east Saturday, April 4, 33 AD - then after a few hours of darkness, the sun suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east and pass west ward for a short Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Psalm 112:4 "Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."
After the sun had set in the east the Saturday Jesus was in the grave, a few hours after dark, after Jesus rose from the dead, the sun would suddenly rise in the east. Thus, the night would be short and the Sunday resurrection day be short.
The full moon would then rise in the west 180° from the sun, and rise about 45° or about three hours equaling the sun's set in the east for three hours. The moon at the 45° point in the western sky would suddenly become as bright as the sun, reflecting the light of the sun being seven times brighter, and would suddenly set in the west. The sun would suddenly become seven times brighter and rise in the east.
Job 9:6 "Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
9:7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
Job 30:26 "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation."
Thus, the Friday night after Jesus was crucified may have lasted many hours longer and the sun may not have risen that day just as this day Job describes. The Chinese record days when it was dark and clear yet no stars or no Milky Way appeared - this in days when there was no light pollution. The Chinese have traditions of long days and long nights.
"then came darkness" may refer to the darkness when Jesus was on the cross from noon to 3 PM.
"Job may be based on an earlier drama and not Israelite in origin." "All the other books written in this script, paleo-Hebrew, are among the books of Moses."
The Dead Sea Scroll Bible
Job's reference to the phoenix, the Hol in the nest, suggests earth was in a reverse orbit at the time and some of the verses in Job indicate sun miracles.
Job 9:7 "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
Job 30:28 "I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation."
From the Hebrew Tanakh 1917:
Job 29:18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the Hol (Phoenix)."
The word for "Hol" or sand is also the word for "Hol" phoenix.
Job 29:18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the phoenixH2344."
H2344 חוֹל chôl khole From H2342; sand (as round or whirling particles): - sand. Total KJV occurrences: 23
Genesis 13:16 "And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered."
Dust - H6083 עָפָר ‛âphâr aw-fawr' From H6080; dust (as powdered or gray); hence clay, earth, mud: - ashes, dust, earth, ground, morter, powder, rubbish.
Genesis 15:5 "And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."
Genesis 22:17 "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;"
After the death of Abraham in 2432 BC = 38 years from 2469 BC:
Genesis 26:4 "And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;"
Multiplied in number = dust or sand. Multiplied in years = stars and the phoenix.
Blessing is eternal life, like the Phoenix. The stars are like the saved souls, a shinning light in Heaven for eternity. Jesus rose from the dead so we can have the blessing of eternal life.
Psalm 133:3 "As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."
H2344 "Hol" is not sand, but phonetically the word "Hol" is the name of the phoenix. Likewise, in Japan the phoenix is the "Ho". The sweet song of the phoenix is said to be "P'o".
There are universal words, like Di for divine in Latin, and Di in Chinese for divine and king.
Likewise, the Greek "Phoenix" in the Septuagint is not palm tree, but phonetically the word for where purple dye is from - Phonecia, that is, purple bird.
Acts 14:12 "And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker."
Mercury, among these many names, is named palm tree. Palm tree does not make sense. The wings of Mercury may be connected to the wings of the phoenix, the angel that moved the sun. The Greek word phoenix has two meanings, the palm tree and the sun angel that moved the sun.
The context the phoenix dies in its nest in the sun and is reborn. Yet the phoenix never dies. Thus, the verse I shall multiply my days as the "Hol" refers to the Phoenix.
Job 29:18 from the Greek Septuagint:
In this footnote, note the word for phoenix on the right:
Strongs Concordance.
Thus, the Greek word for Phoenix was used in the Septuagint. The same word for palm tree is also the word for the sun angel, the phoenix, that moved the sun.
The Hebrew reads "Hol" by rabbinic tradition means phoenix. Thus, in the Greek Septuagint "Hol" is translated as phoenix, meaning sun angel.
Then, mistakenly, the Greek word phoenix was translated as palm tree. Phonetically phoenix sounds also as a palm tree. The Hebrew "Hol" cannot mean palm tree! The same as joboleus is phonetically Latin from the Hebrew Yobel for a ram's horn sounded on the jubile. Yobel does not mean jubilant. Phoenix does not mean palm tree.
The connection to the palm tree may be a nest for a Heron in the top of the palm tree. Thus, the Heron the phoenix, in China also the Heron the phoenix, and the word for palm tree = the word for sun angel.
Phoenix means purple/red bird = the angel that flew to the sun and moved the sun around the earth.
Job 29:18 from La Bible, the French Bible, the phenix in French, the phoenix in English:
Job 29:18 Je me disais: "Quand j'expireria dans mon nid,
comme le phenix" je multiplierai mes jours.
The Latin Vulgate:
Job 29:18 "Decibamque in nidulo meo moriar et sicut palma multipicabo dies."
Job 29:18 "And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days."
Just like a "palma" palm tree. The Greek word for phoenix means both the palm tree and the sun angel, thus the Latin version chose palm tree by mistake. In Egypt the phoenix, the Bennu bird, is like the Heron in a nest on top of a palm tree. The phoenix never dies thus "I shall die in my nest, and as a phoenix I shall multiply my days"
Likewise, the phoenix in China is also depicted as an Heron.
The Chinese word for Phoenix also was Hol, or Ho, that made a sound P'o. P'o. P'o in Hebrew means here. The phoenix was noted for its sweet song.
Psalm 92:2 "To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,"
Psalm 92:12 "The righteousH6662 shall flourishH6524 like the palm tree:H8558 he shall growH7685 like a cedarH730 in Lebanon.H3844"
In the Greek Septuagint the palm tree is the phoenix. The context appears to be comparing trees to trees.
Nevertheless, the word for flourish, H6524, pârach, paw-rakh', A primitive root; to break forth as a bud, that is, bloom; generally to spread; specifically to fly (as extending the wings); figuratively to flourish: - X abroad, X abundantly, blossom, break forth (out), bud, flourish, make fly, grow, spread, spring (up).
To extend wings like the phoenix. To live long like the phoenix.
Here is Psalm 92:12 in the Amplified Version:
Psalm 92:12 "The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible]"
Genesis 22:17 "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;"
Job used the words "multiply my days as the Hol." The phoenix never dies. The blessing may be in eternal life.
"The Mycenean texts contained the word ph-on-ke, with the plural form ph-ni-ki-pi, from which the word phoenix later developed. In the first of the two texts to be cited on this point, there is mention of a chair inlaid with po--ni-ki-pi of gold and dark blue glass. The other text refers to a footstool with an ivory inlay depiicting a man, a horse, an octopus, and a po-ni-ke...but in the Mycenean culture the pre-eminent fabulous creature was the griffin, as can be seen from the frequency with which it was represented."
Here is a Griffin from the museum at Corinth, Greece:
Here you see Ogopogo's eye, like the eye of the Griffin, in the top left:
The Griffin may also be an Ogopogo. You can see the same extended eye in the link to this picture on the top left to a log like Ogopogo. Ogopogo can fly and the Griffin can fly also. Likewise the Thunderbird is both a phoenix and a Cadborosaurus - Ogogogo.
"In various places in the Old Testament reference is made to Tola and Pua as sons of Issachar..Tola taken literally, means "kermes" (red-dye stuff), crimson, and Pua means "madder" makes red colour. Likewise, sun, Chares, means crimson also.
"All this makes it indeed probable that the Greek word po-ni-ke, phoenix, is ultimately to be traced to the Western Semetic term for madder, one of the red dye stuffs manufactured by the Phonecians".

"In Bocharts Hierozoicon iii. 225-227 we find by citations from Strabo, Aelian, Valerius, Philostorgius, Diodorus, & that the ancients were ready to believe in monterous dragons or serpents. Aelion for instance, speaks of one 210 feet long, while an Arabian writer describes one of 8,000 paces in length. In the Talmuid there is frequent mention of angels and creatures of a like monsterous size."

Zechariah spoke of the dayspring, perhaps a sun miracle, when asked to name his son John the Baptist about the Passover Monday, March 16, 7 BC:
Luke 1:78 "Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath (shall) visited us,
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
The note in the NKJV states "shall visit us" Then, the wisemen would witness the "day spring" on Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. Thus, the two years previous September of 5 BC the star Arcturus would appear directly over Bethlehem at midnight in September.
Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."
Luke 2:7 "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
The sun may have risen suddenly that night. Luke 2:78b "whereby the sunrise shall visit us"
Nevertheless, the fact John and Jesus were born six months apart points to sun miracles that must be six months apart.
The father of John the Baptist, Zechariah, ministered in the temple just after Pentecost, in the 8th course of Abiathar, when the angel appeared:
The 24th course of Zadock included the Passover. Thus seven weeks are 50 days to Pentecost. Thus, Zechariah who ministered in the 8th course of Abiathar, should appear shortly after Pentecost.
Then, John the Baptist may have been conceived in June and born about the Passover in March 16, 7 BC = six months to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
From the tenth day of the Passover month, Thursday, March 12, 7 BC, to September 12, 7 BC is half an orbit.
Luke 1:5 "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth."
Luke 1:8 "And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
1:9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord."
1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
1:12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house."
There are 24 courses, 8 Abia and 16 Zadok, Mazziah is the 24th.
Thus there were 8 more courses, of Abia, after the 24th of Mazziah. Zechariah should be the eighth course, from the 12th to the 18th of Sivan, the third month. The eighth course of Abia; 8 X 7. Josephus said the courses ran from sabbath to sabbath = May 23, 8 BC to May 31 BC.
This would mean Elizabeth would conceive soon after the 18th of Sivan for John the Baptist to be born nine months later about the time of the Passover Friday, March 18, 7 BC.
"On the third day from the Sabbath (Tuesday) of the course of the sons of Maaziah is the Passover."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Religious Thought and Practices Reflected in the Qumran Scrolls, p.170, by Flint.
The Passover 14th of the first month = third day from 1/12 to 1/18 = the Passover week when Jesus was crucified = 1/14 = the 14th lunar day of the first month Friday, April 3, 33 AD. Caiaphas the high priest was of the 24th course, Mazziah. Then Caiaphas would at least enter the temple in his seven days of service, and see the veil of the Holy of Holy rent in twain, perhaps first hand, when Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead.
The 8th course of Abia may begin at or soon after Pentecost.
The Passover in 8 BC may be the full moon, Wednesday, March 26, or Tuesday, March 25. 50 days after is Pentecost, Thursday, May 16 or Friday, May 16, 8 BC.
So, counting from the third day of the week, the 24th course of Mazziah may end on the Passover. Then seven courses of seven days of Abia after, to the first day of the course of Zachariah, the eighth course, may equal Wednesday, and Friday, May 16, 8 BC, be Pentecost.
Pentecost may be the day Zachariah saw the angel in the Temple. Either at Pentecost or just days after Pentecost. Then Zachariah would have several more days of service in the Temple.
Jesus rose from the dead Sunday, April 5, 33 AD when the sun suddenly and brilliantly rose in the east.
Job 38:13 "That it might take hold of the ends (wings) of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment."
"turned as clay to the seal" can be turned backwards or forwards. The seal may be the stars of the zodiac = the earth in a reverse or normal orbit of the sun. "wings of the earth" because the earth orbits the sun. Thus, earth can orbit backwards or forwards around the sun.
The ancient people of the Bible knew earth had wings and revolved around the sun.
Possibly God was moving the sun from west to east the day of Joshua's long day.
Joshua may have known that August 10, 1241 BC was half an orbit after a sun miracle February 4, 1241 BC when the Children of Israel crossed the river Jordan = half an orbit later when the sun should move back.
Then Joshua would have known the day he asked God to stop the sun in the sky was at the half orbit point when God may move the sun back, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Nevertheless, God may have moved the sun 360° in 24 hours to make the sun stand still at noon, and earth continue in a reverse orbit of the sun.
The day may begin with the sun rising in the west or the east.
Most likely the sun rose in the east as Joshua and his army reached Gibeon at sunrise after hiking all night from Gilgal by the river Jordan. Then Joshua would see the moon rise in the east at midnight and observe the moon pass to the western horizon when the sun was at the noon position = when Joshua made his request to God to make the sun stand above Gibeon at noon and the last quarter moon stand above the Mediterranean Sea in the west = for a day of 24 hours.
Joshua's long day may be 12 hours long and either earth flow into a reverse orbit or out of a reverse orbit. Then the next day, Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC the sun may rise suddenly in the east and earth flow back into a reverse orbit of the sun.
On the next day after Joshua's long day, Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, the sun may have risen brilliantly in the east as on the Resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Even this lunar day 21, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC may have been a normal day. Only, this day would be the half orbit point from the crossing of the River Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, 188 days later, August 10, 1241 BC. At the half orbit point is easy to move the sun back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. And also to move the sun again, like a sudden sunrise in the east, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. The timing of Joshua's request was perfect = half an orbit from the crossing of the Jordan River and = one and a half orbits to king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
Psalm 65:8 "They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice."
The day following Jesus' crucifixion the sun may have rose in the west and set in the east. Jesus rose from the dead shortly after dark Saturday night, April 4, 33 AD. Thus, the outgoing of the morning and of the evening. Thus, the rejoicing of the resurrection!
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noonH6672, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
H6672 צֹהַר tsôhar tso'-har From H6671; a light (that is, window); dual double light, that is, noon: - midday, noon (-day, -tide), window. Total KJV occurrences: 24
Job 5:14 "They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night."
The sun does not go down on an eclipse of the sun. The sun has six hours to go down from noon. For the sun to "go down" it must be moved suddenly. For the sun to set in the east or west, if the sun traveled at or very near the speed of light from the noon position, it would take less than a quarter of an hour, less than 15 minutes, to set in the west.
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
2 Kings 14:23 "In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years."
2 Kings 14:1 "In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
14:2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem."
King Amaziah reigned 29 years from 869 BC (900 years to Jesus' sacrifice) to 841 BC (400 years from Joshua's long day). The 15th year of Amaziah would be 854 BC - 41 years of the reign of Jeroboam II to 813 BC.
King Azariah is confused with King Uzziah. These are two separate kings. Amos may have lived in the 52 year reign of Uzziah from 802 BC to 750 BC. However, the mention of Jeroboam II from 852 BC and Azariah from 840 BC, and puts the setting of Amos 1:1 after 840 BC. Note Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
Jeroboam II reigned 41 years from 852 BC to 811 BC.
"2,700 years ago, tiny clay piece sealed deal for Bible’s King Jeroboam II"
Before Uzziah, Azariah must have begun his reign about 840 BC. This 13th year of King Le would be this 840 BC. A sun omen would be a cause for an epoch.
"In his 13th year from 852 BC (the year Jeroboam II reigned from Samaria, and 100 years before Uzziah died in 752 BC) = 840 BC, the King was in Che; and Ho, baron of Kung, administrated the imperial duties" Note: This is styled the period of Kung. This is a sure epoch, acknowledged by all Chinese chronologists."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.154
Jeroboam II began his reign, at the death of his father Jehoash, the same year as was King Amaziah's 15th year = 852 BC. Amaziah reigned 29 years, from 868 BC to 840 BC; 868 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
2 Kings 14:25 "He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher."
Jonah 1:1 "Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,"
There is no year zero, so from spring in 868 BC of Amaziah's first year to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is exactly 900 years.
"In his 1st year, which was mow-shin (45th of cycle = 852 BC), when he came to the throne.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.153.
Joash reigned 40 years from 907 BC to 867 BC. From 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. From 867 BC = 900 years from the death of Joash in 867 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus perhaps a sun miracle in 867 BC = the death of Joash, and in 852 BC = the death of Jehoash = the reign of Jeroboam II, that were omens the Chinese took to change their emperor. King Heaou began his reign in 869 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Thus, many new emperors on the date of an omen of the sun point to Jesus, to his birth or to his sacrifice.
King Muh became emperor about 966 BC perhaps at an omen 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice, and died 59 years later in 906 BC is just after 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Joash was made King of Judah in 907 BC and King Kung was made Emperor of China in 906 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle then, in 907 BC, for Joash that the Chinese also took for an omen for a new King.
"In his 9th year (898 BC from 906 BC = 899 BC was a 49 year jubile), in the spring, in the first month, on the day ting-hae (24th of cycle), the King made Leane, the recorder of the interior, convey a charge to Ts'een, baron of Maou."
The Chinese Classics, p.151.
Day 24 in the first month of 900 BC = the new moon, Saturday, December 22, 900 BC = the sun in Sagittarius 180° from Taurus.
Day 24 in the first month of 899 BC = the new moon, Wednesday, February 20, 899 BC or the 28 day moon = new moon, Friday, April 19, 899 BC.
Day 24 in the first month of 899 BC = the Hebrew new moon Tuesday, December 17, 899 BC.
Day 24 in the first month of 898 BC = the five day moon, Saturday, February 15, 898 BC or the eight day moon, Friday, April 18, 898 BC.
Day 24 in the first month of 897 BC = the ten day moon, Friday, December 12, 898 BC.
Day 24 in the first month of 897 BC = the ten day moon, Tuesday, February 10, 897 BC or the eleven day moon, Sunday, April 11, 897 BC.
Ts'een may be like Kow-ts'seen in the 11th month the sun in Sagittarius and Maou may be Taurus = 180° apart. Thus possibly the sun was moved 180°
You will also notice dates after X45 BC = 38 years, the 38 years of Jesus' life, to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
The lamb was supposed to be taken inside on the ten day moon of the first month.
Also, dates ending X18 BC = 50 year jubiles to 18 BC when Herod rebuilt the temple = 49 more years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. When Cyrus died in 518 BC and when King King died in 518 BC.
All these emperors began their reign on the first month of spring = the Passover in Israel. They must have changed their emperors at the omen of a sun miracle. Possibly the sun was darkened at noon on the Passover = the sun darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross.
An omen of a sun miracle in 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth, may have given reason for the death of King Muh and a new emperor King Kung, in 906 BC.
You will notice several, almost all, the new emperors of China beginning their reign in the spring on a year ending in X68 BC = 100's of years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD - there is no year zero.
The 49th year is like the 49 year jubile from 769 BC - 49 years from 18 BC to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
In 720 BC there was thunder with no clouds and the duke Hwuy of Loo died in this 48th and 49th year of King P'ing.
Next the solar eclipse record that does not match any solar eclipse records.
The death of King P'ing in 718 BC = the death of Ahaz = a solar eclipse that was not a solar eclipse = a sign. Hezekiah began his reign in 718 BC or 717 BC.
King P'ing died in 718 BC:
Dates of new emperors, 718 BC King P'ing, 617 BC King King, 611 BC King K'wang = the fifth year of the King Jehoiakim of Judah, 605 BC King Ting in China = the 49 year jubile, 614 BC when Jehoiakim became King of Judah and 611 BC Nebucadnezzar became King of Babylon, 605 BC = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice - is just after 607 BC = 700 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
A new emperor in 570 BC is like 568 BC = 600 years to Jesus' sacrifice. A new emperor XXIV King King in 543 BC is perhaps from an omen of the sun in 545 BC = 38 years of Jesus' life to 507 BC.
A new emperor in 518 BC at the death of Cyrus and the death of the chinese emperor XXIV King King, and a new emperor XXV King King, was an omen for a new emperor. Note new emperor XXIV King King in 543 BC and next a new emperor XXV King King in 518 BC. Omens in X18 BC: 718 BC, 618 BC and 518 BC may point to 18 BC when Herod began to rebuild the temple, is 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
A new emperor in 467 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
A new emperor in 367 BC = 400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Here you see the pattern of years ending in X69 BC or X68 BC = 100's of years to Jesus' sacrifice in emperor Yu's first year (2169 BC in spring - Passover) to begin the Hea dynasty and in emperor Ching's first year spring (Passover) of 1168 BC, just after Wu began the Chow dynasty.
Likewise, emperor Yu began his reign in 2169 BC. There are 180 missing years = 120 years between 1086 BC to 966 BC and 60 years some time before the Shang dynasty in 1577 BC. Thus, this 1989 BC should be 180 years furthe back = 2169 BC.
Emperor Wooting (Wuding) reigned 50 years, not 59 years, from 1393 BC to 1343 BC.
Likewise emperor Wanting (Wending) reigned from 1250 BC = the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC, and not 1123 BC. The missing 9 years at Wanting are a missing 7 years. 1123 BC + 120 + 7 = 1250 BC; and the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC the omen for a new emperor in China.
Likewise, King Ching began his reign, not in 1043 BC but in 1168 BC = 5 + 120 years, the missing 9 years of Wooting are here a missing 5 years. There are a missing 120 years between emperor Ch'aou in 1086 BC and King Muh in 966 BC. The missing 120 years + 5 years, is in 1068 BC.
Thus also Israel and Judah may have changed their Kings as well, Amaziah King of Judah in 867 BC and Jeroboam II King of Israel in 852 BC.
2 Kings 14:16 "And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
14:17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
"collapsed over decades," "had been fired before" Hazael lived 70 years earlier than 830 BC, in 900 BC.
This equals the time of Hazael of Damascas. Ahab reigned 22 years from 948 BC to 926 BC. From 926 BC to 900 BC is the time of Hazael. Sheshonq in Egypt must be placed 76 years further back. Thus, the magnetic field proves the date of Hazael, not Sheshonq.
1 Kings 16:23 "In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah."
From Solomon's 40th year in 1004 BC, less Rehoboam 17 years, less Abijam's 3 years, less Asa's 31st year, less six years = 1004 BC - 17 - 3 - 30 - 6 = 948 BC the first year of Ahab.
2 Kings 12:18 "And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem."
Jehoash reigned from 907 BC and died in 868 BC. 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth. Jehoash's death in 868 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The magnetic study of Beth Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, was destroyed in 790 BC. This was not the time of Amaziah, because Amaziah reigned 29 years from 868 BC to 839 BC. Azariah reigned 38 years from 839 BC to 801 BC.
Uzziah reigned 52 years from 801 BC to 751 BC. 790 BC, in Uzziah's 11th year, was the time of Tiglath-Pileser III when he conquered most of the Levant = Bethshemesh.
"A highly fragmentary portion of Tiglath-Pileser's annals mention the king "Azaria'u"
Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC. Then Uzziah reigned 52 years to 750 BC. Thus, the destruction of Bethshemesh in 790 BC in the time of of Tiglath-Pileser.
900 BC = Hazael at Beth She'an, 790 BC = Tiglath-Pileser III at Bethshemesh.
The prevailing notion that Hazael was the conquerer who destroyed Tel Beth-Shean and not Pharaoh Shoshonq is proven here with the correct chronology with this new scientific magnetic study.
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
Jesus' resurrection is the important part. The great earthquake was an important sign. Earthquakes are often recorded when there was a sun miracle, perhaps because of the violent forces involved in moving the sun around the earth. The important part is the sun miracles and earthquakes point to Jesus' resurrection.
The sun must return on the lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC two years after Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. Perhaps there was an earthquake September 15, 7 BC.
Amos 8:9 records the sun would go down at noon. The parallel is the three hours of darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross. This record is of the sun moving. God moved the sun 360° around the earth for the sun to stand still in the sky at the noon position for 24 hours for Joshua probably August 10, 1241 BC.
Then, when Jesus was on the cross at noon, God may have again moved the sun 360°, but within one hour. Thus, for the sun to be dark the sun would have to travel at or very near the speed of light = time stopped on the sun. If the sun was moved at or very near the speed of light, the sun would become dark because time on the sun would have stopped.
"In his 13th year, the king was in Che; and Ho, baron of Kung, administered the imperial duties."
"in his 22nd year (from 852 BC = 831 BC = 38 years from King Heaou in 869 BC) there was a great drought."
Note: The great drought had continued so long, that all huts were burned up. When King Fun died, they consulted by the tortoise shell the spirit of the sun, and were answered that Le had been done to death by some monstrous thing.
The Chinese Classics, p.154.
7 Note: This is a sure epoch, acknowledged by all Chinese chronologists. Instead of there being only one regent, however, as these Annals say, the more common accounts make out two, Kung and Ho, the dukes of Chow and Shaou."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.154
From 852 BC, his 13th year = 840 BC and a sun miracle that = 400 years from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC that = the first year of the King of Judah Azariah = 38 years of reign = the age of Jesus.
There must be two cycles of 60 years where no King is recorded. Thus, this missing history fill the missing 120 years.
The lunar eclipse on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC in king Wan's 35th year from 1240 BC, and the first year of emperor Wu on the new moon on day 29 in 1174 BC not 1045 BC, confirms a missing 120 years between King Ch'aou in 1087 BC and King Muh in 967 BC.
"In the first month, the day jin-shin immediately followed the end of the moon's waning."
- the year Woo/Wu became emperor.
January 1, 1174 BC is day 29 and is the last waning of the moon. Importantly this day 29 of cycle January 1, 1174 is when the moon was just becoming invisible a few days before it passed the sun.
Then, also day 37 in the fourth month may also be July 7, 1174 BC - 186 days later. Thus, the sun may move to the other side of earth January 1, 1174 BC, and the sun move back half an orbit later, July 7, 1174 BC = the fourth month from March, the first quarter moon.
Morelikely this day 37 was May 8, 1174 BC = day 37 of cycle 60 = the day of Pentecost.
Here you see the beginning of the count of day 50 from the day after the Passover, March 20, 1174 BC, 12 days of March, 30 days of April and 8 days of May:
12 days from March 20 to March 31. Then 30 days of April. Then May 8, 1174 BC, 12 + 30 + 8 = 50 = the 50th day, the day of Pentecost:
Woo/Wu became king 12 years after his father died upon the sign from heaven of this sun miracle in the fourth month of May, gengzi, day 37 of cycle 60, May 8, 1174 BC.
Here you can see both moon phases. The new moon on day 29 of cycle 60 on January 1, 1174 BC:
Half an orbit after January 1, 1174 BC is 187 days = July 7, 1174 BC:
There are 180 years missing from emperor Yu in 2169 BC from 1969 BC. There are missing 120 years from the last year of King K'ang in 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. 1107 BC - 120 years to 987 BC. Then the 19 years of King Ch'aou may have been from 985 BC to 966 BC. Darius reigned not from 523 BC but from 509 BC. Xerxes reigned not from 486 BC, but from 478 BC. Alexander the Great died in 312 BC not 323 BC.
King Rehoboam of Judah died in 987 BC. And 987 BC was the Armenian Sothis new year = 1460 years further back = 2447 BC; 1460 years further back = 3907 BC; 1461 years further back = 5368 BC = year one of Annos Mundi.
The gap of 120 years may have been from the death of King K'ang in 1107 BC to the first year of King Ch'aou in 1087 BC.
"In his 1st year, of King Muh, which was ke-wei (56 of cycle = 961 BC; 59 years back from 906 BC = 965 BC or 966 BC) in the spring, in the first month, he built the palace .V. of Ch'aou.."
V. "This palace is supposed to have been somehow in commemeration of his father, King Ch'aou."
Note."From Woo to Muh, the empire was possessed 100 years.."
The Chinese Classics, p.149.
From the last year of Woo in 1168 BC to the first year of Muh in 965 BC, are 200 years +3 years = 203 years = a gap of 120 years = the same cycle of 60 = 2 X 60.
Note: The great drought had continued so long, that all huts were burned up. When king Fun died, they consulted by the tortoise-shell the spirit of the sun, and were answered that Le had been done to death by some monstrous thing. When the dukes of Chow and Shaou had raised his oldest son Tsing to the throne, Ho of Kung returned to his State."
"In his 13th year, the King was in Che; and Ho, baron of Kung, administered the emperial duties." 7.
Note 7. "This is a sure epoch, acknowleged by all Chinese chronologists. Instead of there being only one regent, however, as these Annals say, the more common accounts make out two, Kung and Ho, the dukes of Chow and Shaou."
Note. "This is styled the period of Kung-ho."
The Chinese Classics, p.154.
The missing 120 years between Ch'aou in 1087 BC and in King Muh 967 BC may appear between dates of sun miracles that point to Jesus.
Perhaps from the death of Kang in 1105 BC 60 years, a complete 60 year cycle, is 1045 BC = the death of David and the first year of Solomon = 38 years before 1007 BC = 1000 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 1045 BC - 60 year gap - 19 years of Ch'aou = 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Ch'aou's first year was 37 of cycle 60. So 120 years back from 980 BC is 1100 BC.
But there is a six year correction carried over from the 9 years added to emperor Wuting/Wuding's 50th year in 1343 BC.
Thus King Ching reigned not from 1043 BC, but 120 years further back to 1063 BC, but five years back from 1068 BC.
Likewise, Ch'aou reigned 19 years, not from 980 BC, but from 1107 BC to 1088 BC, or 19 years from 984 BC to emperor Muh in 965 BC.
King of Judah, Abijah, reigned three years from 986 BC to 983 BC. Perhaps there was a sun miracle in this 984 BC when Abijah died and when Ch'aou became emperor over China.
From Solomon's death in 1005 BC - 17 years of Reoboam - 3 years od Abijah = 985 BC = the reign of King Asa.
Emperor Ch'aou's 14th year may be in 971 BC "when the regular stars did not appear".
1084 BC was when David became King of Judah.
If Ch'aou became emperor in 1100 BC in year 37 of cycle 60, his 19th year 1081 BC. David became King over all Israel in 1077 BC and reigned 33 years to 1044 BC. 1045 BC was a 49 year jubile. Thus, there may be sun miracles on those dates.
King Ching in 1168 BC; 35 years, King Kang 26 years, = 1007 BC. 120 years to Ch'aou in 987 BC = 19 years to 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice. A three year correction from 968 BC to King Muh in 965 BC.
Ch'aou reigned from 984 BC - 19 years to 965 BC.
Asa reigned from 985 BC to his 41st year in 945 BC.
From 1007 BC a 120 years gap, two 60 year cycles, to Muh in 968 BC. A three year correction, Muh reigned from 965 BC. Thus, the years of cycle 60 match.
Emperor Muh reigned 59 years to 606 BC. 59 years is almost 60 years. Muh reigned from 965 BC, just after 968 BC.
Solomon reigned from 1044 BC 40 years to 1004 BC. Rehoboam 17 years from 1003 BC to 986 BC. Abija 3 years to 984 BC. The Armenian sothis cycle began again in 984 BC.
King Asa's 15th year from 985 BC or 984 BC = 969 BC or 968 BC = an omen just before the first year of emperor Muh of China in 966 BC.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;"
1 Kings 15:9 "And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah."
= 984 BC = the first year of emperor Ch'aou in China.
1 Kings 15:25 "And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years."
1 Kings 15:28 "Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead."
1 Kiings 15:33 "In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years."
1 Kings 16:8 "In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years."
= 959 BC = "In the sixth year (of Muh), Tan, the viscount of Seu, came to do homage, when the title of Baron was confered on him."
1 Kings 16:10 "And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead."
1 Kings 16:15 "In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines."
= 958 BC = "In his 8th year (of Muh), the chief of the northern T'ang came to do homage, and presented a very swift mare, which produced the famous Luh-urh. In his 9th year he built the Spring (often sun miracles were in spring whereupon was a new emperor) palace."
1 Kings 16:23 "In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah."
= 954 BC = "In his 11th year, he gave conditional distiction and Charge to Mow-foo, duke of Tse, the prime minister."
1 Kings 16:29 "And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years."
= 948 BC = 20 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice, "In his 18th year, in the spring, in the 1st month, he dwelt in the palace of Che, where the princes came and did homage."
1 Kings 18:1 "And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth."
1 Kings 20:22 "And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee."
1 Kings 20:26 "And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel."
1 Kings 22:2 "And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel."
1 Kings 22:41 "And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel."
= 944 BC = "In his 21st year, duke Wan of Tse died. In his 24th year, he ordered Jung-foo, the recorder of the Left to make a record. Note: It is understood that this Record was a history of the rise and fall of dynasties and States, down to the commencement of the Chow dynasty. King Muh had come to himself, and was ashamed of his wars, wanderings and his extravagance."
Emperor Ch'aou may have reigned from year 37 of cycle 60.
Year 37 of cycle 60 is 1040 BC = the year Solomon began to build the temple in the second month of 1041 BC = 240 years from the Exodus, March 31, 1281 BC.
"In his 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible."
Emperor Ch'aou's 14th year = 1027 BC.
1 Kings 7:1 "But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."
13 years from 1041 BC = the 14th year of Ch'aou = 1027 BC = Solomon's house was finished.
"In his (emperor Ch'aou) sixth year, he gave Charge to the baron of Seun. In the winter, in the 12th month, peach trees and plum trees were in flower."
The sixth year, from year 37 of cycle 60 in 1040 BC = the seventh year from 1041 BC = the temple finished in Solomon's seventh year in 1034 BC.
1 Kings 6:37 "In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
Seven years building the temple = the sixth year of Ch'aou.
"In his 19th year, in the spriing, a comet appeared in the space Tsze-me. The duke of Tse and the baron of Sin followed the king against ts,oo. The heavens were dark and tempestuous. Pheasants and hares were terrified. The king's six armies perished in the Han. The king died."
The Chinese Classics. p.149.
Seven years building the temple, 13 years building his own house = 20 years from 1041 BC = 1021 BC.
19 years from 1040 BC = 1021 BC = 1050 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
There may be sun miracles in 1041, 1034 BC, 1027 BC, and 1022 BC that the Chinese took as omens.
Nevertheless, Ch'aou probably reigned from 984 BC 19 years to 965 BC. 984 BC was the first year of King Asa.
"In his, King Ching, 37th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, on the day yih-ch'ow (2nd of cycle 60), the king (King Ching, from 1168 BC) died."
The Chinese Classics. p.148.
Emperor Ching's 37th year from 1168 BC (1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice), (and the 38 years of Jesus' life). 1168 BC - 37th year = 1133 BC.
June 26, 1133 BC was the new moon and the fourth month in China.
"On the twenty-sixth day of the month Sivan, in the seventh year, day turned to night and (there was) a fire in the sky."
Religious Chronicle, ii 12-15; trans Grayson (1975. p. 135.
This new moon, day 2 of cycle 60, June 26, 1133 BC would be the 26th day of the Egyptian month. This month Sivan = the 3d month in Israel would equal the Chinese 4th month. A sun miracle on the new moon may have been the omen to kill the emperor Ching.
Suggested dates are 1012 BC (1012 BC + 120 years = 1132 BC) or 1063 BC (1063 BC + 60 years = 1123 BC). These dates must like the Egyptian chronology that should be put back 76 years = 1088 BC or 1139 BC. These Chinese dates must be put back 120 years or 60 years. Back 120 years from 1012 BC = 1133 BC. 1133 BC is only six years after the suggested date of 1063 BC corrected by 76 years to 1139 BC. June 26, 1133 BC appears the correct date.
Seven years before 1133 BC was 1140 BC = 100 years after Joshua's long day.
"Assyria survived the Bronze Age Collapse but most of its extended territory after the death of Ashur-bel-Kala (1056 BC)"
Ancient Iraq. p.70.
The Egyptian chronology is 76 years further back. This 1056 BC 76 years further back is this same 1132 BC. The death of Ashur-bel-Kala may have been precipitated by an omen of a sun miracle.
Ch'aou on 37th of cycle 60, not 980 BC, but 120 years further back in 1100 BC = the last year, the 26th year of King K'ang. Ch'aou's 19th and last year in 1081 BC.
Or, King Ch'aou reigned from 985 BC for 19 years to king Muh in 966 BC. Ch'aou after King K'ang or Ch'aou before king Muh.
There must be two sixty year cycle gaps for a total of 120 missing years in the Chinese Classics to King Muh in 968 BC. There must also be a sixty year gap about 2054 BC to 1994 BC.
There may have been a sun miracle, the omen for a new emperor, when emperor Heaou came to the throne in 868 BC = 900 years before Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. 868 + 32 = 900.
This was the same year Amaziah became king of Judah.
King E died in his 25th year = 868 BC. Note: The movements of King E were without proper regulation; the orders of his government were ill-timed; the holder of the time-jar did not attend his duty: - and the consequence was that the princes began to lose their virtue."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.152
Then there should be a sun miracle in 868 BC that the Chinese took as an omen for a new emperor. King E died about the time of the Passover, the first month of the Chinese spring = the end of the year, the twelfth month of Adar and the beginning of the year of spring with the Passover = the connection to Jesus' sacrifice. The error in the Time Jar may be the sun revolving 360° around the earth at or very near the speed of light in one hour, and perhaps be like the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross. Or the sun may have moved 180° forward or back that Passover. The Time-Jar may have been an hourglass or sand clock.
Or, the error of the time jar be 12 hours = the time for God to move the sun to the other side of the earth.
2 Chronicles 24:22 "Thus, Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
24:23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him:"
Back from Uzziah 802 BC 52 years to 750 BC. Azariah 840 BC to 802 BC. Amaziah 869 BC to 840 BC. The sun miracle of Amos 8:9 possibly may have occurred in this 868 BC, at the time of the Passover. And thus be a type of the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross also at noon. Then the keeper of the time jar, perhaps an hourglass, would be out of sync at least this hour of darkness at this Chinese spring and Jewish Passover of 868 BC. Thus, Amos in the time of Jeroboam the son of Joash, perhaps also Amaziah the son of Joash.
Zechariah 14:5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear,H3368 nor dark:H7087"
14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
The word for clear is precious and bright. The word for dark is two words meaning condensed and congelation = the root for Caiaphas the High Priest. All three words start with the letter Qof.
H7087 קָפָא qâphâ' kaw-faw' A primitive root; to shrink, that is, thicken (as unracked wine, curdled milk, clouded sky, frozen water): - congeal, curdle, dark`, settle. Total KJV occurrences: 4
The word for "in" that day is Bet, meaning from that day. At evening would begin the day.
Zechariah 14:6:
There would be cold as there would be no sun for 12 more hours = a night of 24 hours, or multiples of 12 more hours. Thus, the word for frost.
Friday night, April 3, 33 AD after sunset in the west, the sun may rise in the west to stand still = Israel in twilight. After many hours the sun may proceed from the west to set in the east - then suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east the resurrection morning.
The title of Psalm 22 "hind of the morning" Doe of a fallow deer + dawn, greyness of the morning twilight = the resurrection morning.
Zechariah 14:7 "But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
There may have been three days of twilight rather than darkness on the sabbath to equal a seven day sabbaton = 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, before Jesus' resurrection on Sunday, the first day of the week.
Or, this twilight may be the sun traveling 360° near the speed of light, and thus the sun be darkened, but not totally darkened.
Deuteronomy 16:6 "But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
16:7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents."
Job 3:4 "Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it."
Job 3:9 "Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:"
Job 12:22 "He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death."
Job 30:26 "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness."
Jeremiah 13:16 "Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness."
Luke 24:29 "But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them."
1 John 2:8 "Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth."
This Sunday night could also be a sun miracle. There was a Saturday and Sunday sabbath. Thus, towards the sunset on Sunday would end that sabbath, and people would be free to walk more than a sabbath day's journey. Then, this Sunday night there be enough light for 12 more hours of twilight for the two disciples to walk this eight miles, dine with Jesus, and return the eight miles to Jerusalem in the twilight. The day is far spent may refer to a short day, or it may refer to a long 12 hours of twilight that resurrection Sunday night. The sun may move 180°: east to west for a sudden sunrise and earth flow back into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then, at evening that Sunday, the sun may move 180° west to east with earth's rotation, to stand still just below the western horizon for 12 hours, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Joash the King of Israel reigned 40 years. This should be from 907 BC to 868 BC. Thus, there may have also been a sun miracle in 907 BC to mark his new reign. 907 BC is 900 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
King Muh of China reigned from 967 BC to 907 BC. King Heaou of China reigned from 869 BC to 860 BC.
2 Kings 11:19 "And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
11:20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.
11:21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign."
Jesus would be seven years old in 1 AD.
Thus, Jehoash reigned over Jerusalem from 907 BC. To mark his inauguration, God may have moved the sun. Thus, a sun miracle in September 907 BC would foretell Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC. Thus, the Chinese took the sun miracle as an omen and changed emperors in 907 BC.
2 Kings 8:1 "Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years."
This seven year famine may be from 914 BC to Jehoash's first year in 907 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle at the end of the seven years in 907 BC that the Chinese took as an omen to change emperor then.
"In his, emperor Muh, 51st year, he made the code of Leu on Punishments, and gave a Charge to the prince of P'oo in Fung."
"In his, emperor Muh, 59th year, he died in the palace of Che."
His 59th year = 907 BC. His 51st year = 914 BC. Jehoash was born in 914 BC and became king of Judah in 907 BC. Both events may have been marked with sun miracles.
The pattern in dates of Jehoash being seven years old when he became king in 907 BC is like our calendar today 1 AD dating from Jesus' birth. Jesus must have been born seven years earlier than 1 AD in 7 BC.
2 Kings 12:1 "In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba."
Forty years from 907 BC is 868 BC. From 868 BC to Jesus' sacrifice is 900 years to 33 AD.
The same 868 BC 28 of cycle 60 in the spring = Passover, King Heaou began to reign in China. Thus, a sun miracle to mark Jesus' sacrifice 900 years later, the Chinese would take as an omen to change emperors.
The end of the year may be Yom Kippur in September 15, 868 BC. If the sun rose in the west and set in the east on the first day of the first month in spring like the sun had done at the dedication of the altar by Nehemiah in 458 BC and by the Maccabees in 164 BC, then the sun may move 186 days later, half an orbit later, on Yom Kippur. Thus, the time-jar of King E would not tell time when the sun rose in the west on China.
Ezra 4:4 "Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
4:5 And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
4:6 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue."
There were 70 years from the captivity in 591 BC to the return to Jerusalem in 521 BC = Cyrus = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' fulfillment when he spoke in Luke 4 from Isaiah 61.
Haggai 1:4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?"
Thus, God's timing to build the second temple in this second year of Darius = 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
Then the second temple construction, after ceasing in 521 BC, was rebegun in 507 BC, the second year of Darius, = 500 years to Jesus' birth. Again, Darius II, his second year was 415 BC - or 411 BC.
Haggai 1:13 "Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king."
Half an orbit later is the 24th day of the first month in the third year of Darius the king.
Half an orbit from Friday, September 27, 507 BC to Sunday March 23, 506 BC.
Day 24 of the sixth month = Sunday, August 25, 507 BC = half an orbit after the full moon = the Passover, on Friday, February 22, 507 BC.
Or back half an orbit from the first day of the sixth month = 187 days, from August 5, 507 BC = February 1, 507 BC.
Haggai 2:6 "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
2:7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts."
Haggai 2:20 "And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;"
Zechariah 1:7 "Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
Haggai 2:10 "In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
Hanuakkah was on the 25th day of the ninth month, December 12, 164 BC.
This second year of Darius was 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC.
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up"
Haggai 2:15 "And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:"
The 24th day of the eleventh month should be Friday January 24, 506 BC.
The sun move half an orbit before the first day of the sixth month = February 1, 507 BC about the 24th day of the twelfth month one year later the fourth day of the twelfth month.
Perhaps the 24th day of the 12th month, February 1, 507 BC, half an orbit to the first day of the sixth month, half an orbit = one year later, the fourth day of the twelfth month, February 1, 506 BC.
Daniel 10:4 "And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;"
This is supposed to be the third year of Cyrus the Great.
Sunday, March 25, 547 BC should be this 24th day of the first month of the third year of Cyrus of Persia.
Cyrus not from 559 BC but 12 years more recent, Cyrus king of Persia from 547 BC. Then the third year of Cyrus be 545 BC, April 3 would be the 24th day of the first month = April 3, 33 AD of Jesus' sacrifice. 38 years in reverse to Jesus' birth in 7 BC = 500 years from the second year of Darius I when the construction of the second temple was rebegun in 507 BC, and the foundation of the temple laid in 521 BC = 550 years to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Then, if the sun moved August 25, 507 BC, the sun may move back February 22, 506 BC, on lunar day 24 on the twelfth month, between the eleventh month and the first month.
Nevertheless, the counting may be from Darius II a century more recent. Not Darius I in 507 BC but Darius II in 407 BC.
Darius II may have been 62 when he came to reign.
Darius II, sent his son Cyrus to Athens because Athens rebelled. Then, this third year of Cyrus, the son of Darius II, may be counting from 402 BC.
Daniel 10:1 "In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
Dan 10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."
Thursday, March 20, 400 BC = the 3d year of Cyrus the younger, the first month, the 24th lunar day:
"In his, king Wei-leeh, 24th year, from 424 BC, the king died."
"His 1st year was kang-shin, 17 of cycle 60 = 400 BC.
There may have been a sun miracle that day, March 20, 400 BC = both lunar day 24, and the year 24 = king Wei-leeh's death.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
(7 X 7) + (62 X 7) = 69 X 7 = 483 years, from 451 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 7 X 70 = 490 years. From 458 BC = Xerxes' 20th year and last year, 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Or from 478 BC Xerxes' 21st and last year 458 BC.
Ezra left Babylon for Jerusalem in the first month of the seventh year of Artaxerxes I = 451 BC. The new moon was March 21, 451 BC and the Passover was the full moon on April 3, 451 BC. Jesus' sacrifice was April 3, 33 AD.
Ezra 7:7 "And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
7:8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king."
Thus, 62 X 7 = 434 years; to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 402 BC. This third year of Cyrus the son of Darius II, should be about 400 BC because all dates should be moved forward 7 years. So, the son of Darius II, Cyrus dated to 409 BC should be about 402 BC = 62 X 7 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
"His (King Ngan) 1st year was kang-shin (17th of cycle) 400 BC.
The Chinese Classics. p.169.
A sun miracle in 402 BC may be the omen for a new emperor in China.
Haggai 1:8 "Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD."
This 507 BC was when the reconstruction of the second temple was begun on the foundation laid in 521 BC.
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
The seventh month the 24th day = Tuesday, September 24, 507 BC.
Ezra 3:6 "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
The first day of the seventh month in 521 BC the Children of Israel offered sacrifices before the foundation of the temple. Jesus must have been born on the seventeenth day of the seventh month during the feast of tabernacles.
Ezra 3:8 "Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD."
1 Kings 6:37 "In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:"
Both the first and second temple construction was on the month of Zif, the second month in April/May.
1 Corinthians 3:11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Haggai 2:10 "In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
This 24th day of the ninth month, Sunday, November 24, 7 BC, is equal to day 25 of the ninth month when was the victory of the Maccabees, Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC.
Then was Ahasuerus = Xerxes who reigned 20 years from 477 BC to 458 BC. The wall of Jerusalem was finished in 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Ezra 4:24 "Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
This Darius II may have reigned 19 years from 413 BC to 394 BC; 11 years more recent than the common chronology because the wall of Jerusalem was built in Xerxes' 20th year 458 BC, not 468 BC = a ten year correction. Darius II second year would not be 423 BC but be 413 BC, his 7th year in 407 BC; two years ealier was 409 BC = the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
Darius II's 7th year = 407 BC = 400 years before Jesus' birth.
Thus, there are two men by the name Darius; Darius I from 509 BC, and Darius II from 413 BC.
The temple was finished in Dariuis' 6th year, either Darius I in 504 BC or Darius II in 407 BC.
From 507 BC are 500 years, and from 407 BC are 400 years, to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
A solar eclipse record for day 48 of cycle 60, for February 16, 505 BC, matches a sun miracle one year later on the third of Adar, day 48 of cycle 60, February 10, 504 BC = the year of 60 from 2636 BC is 33 = 504 BC not 505 BC.
The solar eclipse of January 27, 411 BC, the same day of 60 one year later is the third of Adar, January 21, 410 BC. The eclipse record one year later is on the same day of 60 in China for the third of Adar.
The sixth year from 413 BC, the third day of Adar may also equal a solar eclipse to the day of 60 one year later. Thus, the new moon February 23, 408 BC is day 25 of cycle 60. The same day of 60, day 25, is the third day of Adar, is Thursday, February 19, 410 BC.
January 27, 411 BC was a solar eclipse on day 41 of cycle 60. Thus, the same day 41 of cycle 60 one year later; January 22, 410 BC, would be on the third day of Adar, just as the temple completed on the third day of Adar, on day 48 of cycle 60, February 10, 504 BC = a sun miracle when the eclipse in China was also on day 48 of cycle 60 in February 16, 505 BC. Only the year of cycle was 33 of cycle 60 = 504 BC and a sun miracle, February 10, 504 BC and not an eclipse.
The solar eclipse of January 27, 411 BC may equal the sixth year of Darius II from 415 BC. Thus, a sun miracle February 10, 504 BC and a solar eclipse January 27, 411 BC, on the sixth year of Darius I and on the sixth year of Darius II.
Ezra 6:14 "And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
Thus, the Kings, Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. Artaxerxes is Xerxes. The wall of Jerusalem was finished in Xerxes' 20th year, 458 BC.
"Artaxerxes, year 35, month XII, end solar eclipse..at that time Jupiter was in Leo..to the 7th day of month I of year 36."
"There were solar eclipses in the last month of both the 35th year of Artaxerxes II (ie, BC 369 April 11) and SE 35 (ie. BC 276 April 3)"
"However, no similar event took place after the 9th month 35th year (or 36th year) of Artaxerxes I (BC 429 January 17)..this eclipse occurred at the wrong time of the year."
"NB no value of T can produce a maximum visible obscuration as small as the observed figure of 0.33 unless greatest phase occurred a little before sunrise.."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, F. Richard Stephenson. p.138.
Although the solar eclipse of April 11, 369 BC for Artaxerxes II does work the year is 11 years too far back. Also, April can hardly be the month XII. This solar eclipse was visible in China and two years before emperor Heen:
Even Jupiter is in Virgo beside Leo. Nevertheless, the chronology has to be 12 years more recent. Jupiter has an orbit of 12 years.
Here you see the solar eclipse 12 years more recent in the correct month XII, in February 29, 357 BC that was total in Susa the capital of Persias where Artaxerxes II lived, and correctly Jupiter is in Virgo beside Leo. The solar eclipse at the end of the 12th month = this February 29.
Here you see Jupiter in Leo:
The 35th year records appear, such as in king Wan's 35th year there was a lunar eclipse.
Artaxerxes I reigned from 458 BC not 465 BC, 7 years more recent. Thus, is the reason no solar eclipse matches.
The solar eclipse of January 17, 429 BC is entirely on the Pacific Ocean = not at all visible at Babylon:
Artaxerxes' 35th year from 465 BC would be 429 BC. But Artaxerxes I reigned from 458 BC.
Artraxerxes II's 35th year would be the solar eclipse of February 29, 357 BC.
Thus, Artaxerxes II must be the correct King recorded with this solar eclipse, and not Artaxerxes I.
From Artaxerxes' 35th year from 458 BC should be five years more recent in 424 BC, March 21, 424 BC:
Likewise, there was a solar eclipse 6 years more recent on March 10, 423 BC, on the 35th year of Artaxerxes I from 458 BC:
There were also solar eclipses on March 21, 424 BC, November 4, 426 BC, May 22, 427 BC. A second month of Adar could mean either the March 10, 423 BC or the March 21, 424 BC solar eclipse may work.
Thus, Artaxerxes I may have been meant.
Jupiter in 424 BC and 423 BC was not in Leo, but in Aquarius/Capricorn = 180° away. This if the 36th year of Artaxerxes I is right there must be a sun miracle, the sun on the other side of the earth and Jupiter 180° from Aquarius in Leo.
The 36th year of Artaxerxes I was in 423 BC. You will see many possible sun miracles for 424 BC/423 BC. A sun miracle in 422 BC may point to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur.
Daniel must be born about 628 BC, and be about 16 in the third year of Joaikim, 612 BC at the captivity. Then if Daniel was alive when Darius II became King in 413 BC, and lived to Cyrus the younger's first year in 397 BC, Daniel would have lived to about 230 years.
Ezra 8:2 "Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush."
Nehemiah 10:1 "Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,"
Nehemiah 10:6 "Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch,"
Daniel 2:22 "He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."
Adam born in year 700 in the Septuagint and lived to year 930, could mean Adam lived 230 years. Isaac lived 180 years from 2507 BC to 2327 BC.
Nehemiah 1:1 "The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,"
Nehemiah 2:6 "And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time."
This may be Xerxes and his wife Esther, Amestris, the queen, his 20th year before he died and his son Artaxerxes became king.
Amestris, Esther, died at the age of 90 in, not 424 BC, but in 417 BC, meaning she was born in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth September 12, BC.
Xerxes died in his 20th year, 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice. The same year his son Artaxerxes became King.
Nehemiah 5:14 "Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor."
Thus, there may be a sun miracle the 20th year in 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The wall of Jerusalem was built in Xerxe's 20th year, 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
12 years may count from the death of Xerxes in his 20th year, 458 BC, to 12 years of his son, Artaxerxes = both 12 years and 32 years.
458 BC less 12 years = 446 BC = 39 years to 407 BC = 400 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC and Jesus' life of thirty eight and a half years.
Often there were sun miracles in years ending X45 = 38 years forward to 7 BC. The death of Julius Caesar, perhaps on the omen of a darkened sun at 11 AM in Rome, at 12 PM at Jerusalem, on the full moon and Passover, March 15, 45 BC is a prime example.
After Xerxes, his son Artaxerxes reigned 41 years from 458 BC to 417 BC = the death of his mother Amestris, Esther, also.
The 49 year jubile was in 409 BC.
"Duke Li of Qin, 34th year (should be 33d year). The Sun was eclipsed. It became dark in the daytime and stars were seen."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Solar Eclipses, p.31.
The total solar eclipse of October 24, 444 BC passed through China and matches this solar eclipse record. Only this is an annular eclipse and not a total eclipse and the stars may not have appeared.
Nevertheless, the solar eclipse path reaches the eastern borders of Persia, and the eclipse be an omen for the assassination of Alexander I.
Alexander I died, not in 454 BC, but 10 years more recent in 444 BC. Roman historian Certius Rufus suggested he was assassinated. A sun miracle in 445 BC may have been the omen for his assassination.
The decree by Artaxerxes for Jerusalem supposed to be the new moon, March 4, 444 BC. 483 years to Jesus' sacrifice. But years were not 360 days to get 483 years from 444 BC to 33 AD instead of 38 AD. From 451 BC 483 years to 33 AD, From the seventh year of Artaxerxes in 451 BC are 483 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
(62 + 7) X 7 = 483 years from 451 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
In the book of the Jubilees weeks meant weeks of years not weeks of days. That is, seven times was seven years, seven weeks were 7 X 7 = 49 years and seven jubiles were 7 X 49 years.
Dates in the Middle East are to be moved 9 years more recent. Chinese dates remain the same counting from 968 BC forward.
So this 444 BC record in the Middle East should be about 435 BC. "the prince of Wei died, having enjoyed his dignity 50 years" in 385 BC, 50 years back was 435 BC.
In 386 BC in China - "There was a great wind, and it was dusk at noon".
There was no solar eclipse in 385 BC + or - two years. There was strong winds recorded in king Wan's dream when the sun moved back, February 5, 1239 BC: Thus there may be a sun miracle in 435 BC and 50 years later in 385 BC.
From 385 BC to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 is 413 years = 59 X 7 years to September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Thus, this may be a sun miracle because there was no solar eclipse visible from China in any year near this 385 BC.
Seven year spans from 458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice: 451 BC, 444 BC, 437 BC, 430 BC, 423 BC, 416 BC, 409 BC, 402 BC, 395 BC, 388 BC.
From emperor Huangdi's counting of cycle 60 January 26, 2636 BC, if a sun miracle, one year later the sun may return 2635 BC. From Abraham at 172 years old in 2435 BC are 2000 years to this 435 BC. From Joseph 110 years old in 2235 BC to 435 BC are 1800 years.
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
The Parthenon began to be built in 447 BC (7 years more recent 440 BC or 9 years more recent 438 BC), completed in 438 BC (431 BC or 429 BC) and decorated to 432 BC (425 BC or 423 BC).
On either side/corner of the roof was the chariot of the sun - left, and the chariot of the moon - right. By interpretation when the sun and moon met in the middle was the new moon = the lunar month construction began. The chariots may also depict the sun and moon being moved.
The year was supposed to be 445 BC, year 32 of Xerxes (12th year of his son Artaxerxes) = 38 years to 407 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
From Xerxes' 20th year in 458 BC, 12 more years of his son Artaxerxes, is 445 BC. Xerxes reigned form 477 BC not 486 BC.
This 447 BC should be seven or ten years more recent, 440 BC or 437 BC. The full moon, March 29, 437 BC is close to the date of Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Seven years more recent be 440 BC be the full moon April 2, 440 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The Parhenon decorated in 438 BC should be 431 BC = 38 years, the 38 years of Jesus' life, back to 469 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The sun and moon are depicted on either end under the roof = a full moon and perhaps a sun miracle on the Passover. The full moon March 21, 447 BC, could be the full moon, and Passover, Friday/Saturday, March 21, 439 BC.
The Parthenon completed in 438 BC, should be 8 years more recent and be 430 BC = 38 years of Jesus' life back to 468 BC = 500 years to when Jesus' sacrifice was complete.
From Artaxerxes I in 458 BC are 21 years to 437 BC. That is three weeks of years shorter than 70 X 7 weeks of years to Jesus' sacrifice = 67 X 7 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Completed in 428 BC and decorated in 422 BC. From 422 BC to Jesus' fulfillment in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, are 50 year jubiles. From 423 BC are five weeks of years shorter than 70 X 7 weeks of years to Jesus' sacrifice.
The Peloponnesian War began that same year, not 431 BC, but 421 BC, ten years more recent.
The sun and his rider in one corner and the moon and his rider in the other corner = a full moon. The sun may be darkened at noon at the Passover in 445 BC; 38 years before 407 BC; a type of the darkness when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD.
Dates should be about 10 years more recent. Xerxes' 20th year in 458 BC. Xerxes' first year 477 BC not 486 BC = 9 years more recent. Then if using the old chronology, the Parthenon began being built in 437 BC not 447 BC. From 437 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD are 67 X 7 years. In Daniel 9:25 are 62 X 7 plus 7 X 7 = 69 X 7, is 2 X 7 more than 67 X 7; 60 X 7 plus 7 X 7 = 67 X 7.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Here you see both solar eclipses. The date must be moved forward 11 years, just as Alexander the Great must be moved forward 11 years.
August 14, 394 BC:
July 13, 383 BC:
These three lunar eclipses must be 10 years more recent:
"BC 383 December 22/23 (mag. = .21)"
"He (Hippararchus) says that these three eclipses which he addresses are from the series brought over from Babylon, and were observed there; that the first occurred in the archonship of Phanostratos at Athens in the month Poseidon, a small section of the moon's disc was eclipsed from the summer rising point [ie the north-east] when half an hour of night was remaining. He adds it was still eclipsed when it set. Now this moment is in the 366th year from Nabonassar, in the Egyptian calendar (as Hypparchus himself says) Thoth 26/27 [-362 December 22/23], 5 1/2 seasonal hours after midnight (since half an hour of night was remaining)."
"Further remarks by Ptolemy indicate that he understood the moment when 'a small section of the moon's disc was eclipsed' as meaning first contact. His statement that this occurred '5 1/2 seasonal hours of night after midnight since half an hour of night was remaining' implies that the time before the end of the night (ie. sunrise) was also expressed in seasonal hours. The fact the moon set eclipsed provides independent limits to the value for T. In order to determine these, it seems best to ignore the recorded times (in case of possible scribal error) and simply assume that the moon set at the same time between first and last contact."
"NB Phanostratos was the archon (chief magistrate) at Athens in the year 383/2 BC."

Luke 2:41 "Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast."
2 Kings 21:1 "Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem."
Manasseh should be born in 700 BC, and become King 12 years later at the death of Hezekiah in 688 BC. Thus, Hezekiah was promised 15 more years from the sun retreating ten steps in 703 BC.
Isaiah 38:19 "The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
From Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC are 500 years to the birth of Hezekiah in 741 BC a fifty year jubile. Hezekiah lived to be 38 years old when he was to die before God promised him 15 more years. Hezekiah at the point to die at 38 years was the same age as Jesus when Jesus went to give his life on the cross.
2 Kings 18:1 "Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
18:2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah."
2 Kings 18:13 "Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them."
2 Kings 20:1 "In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
20:3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
20:4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
20:5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
20:6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
20:7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
20:8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
20:9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
20:10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
Then on Sunday, March 31, 703 BC, the third day, the day of the Passover - the full moon, the sun may have brilliantly and suddenly rose in the east whereupon Hezekiah was healed. According to Jewish tradition, Hezekiah was healed on the first day of the Passover. Jesus' crucifixion was on April 3, 33 AD about the same time of the year.
Thus, the connection to the Resurrection Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead. Then also 15 years later to the day, Hezekiah may have died March 28, 688 BC on day sin mao = 28 of cycle 60, when stars fell like rain in China probably when the sun moved to the other side of the earth, asteroids becoming meteorites as they moved into earth's path. 688 BC is sin-mao also year 28 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC.
Meteor showers usually occur after midnight. If earth is in a reverse orbit meteor showers occur mostly before midnight. When there is a sun miracle the falling stars will be seen before bed time.
From the feast of booths, the feast of tabernacles = Jesus' birth are 12 years from 458 BC to 445 BC, or 32 years from 458 BC to 426 BC.
"His (King Wei-Leeh) 1st year was ping-shin (53d of cycle, = 424 BC).
The Chinese Classics. p.168.
A sun miracle in 426 BC may have been the omen for a new emperor in China in 424 BC.
Nehemiah 8:16 "So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim."
"In his first year, which was sin-maou (28th of cycle 60 either 869 BC or 868 BC), in the spring, in the first month, when he (King Heaou) came to the throne.."
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.152.
Day sin-maou, 28, is the new moon in spring in China, and the beginning of the Passover month in Israel, March 18, 869 BC = Jesus going to the cross on the Passover 901 years later.
Day sin-maou, 28, is the new moon in spring in China, and the beginning of the Passover month in Israel, March 13, 868 BC = Jesus going to the cross on the Passover 900 years later.
Sin-maou = 28 of cycle 60, both in year and day:
Likewise, the sun miracle at King Hezekiah's death, March 28, 688 BC was on both a year 28 of cycle 60 and a day 28 of cycle 60 and both on the new moon = the first day of spring = the first day of the month of the Passover.
Or the year 869 BC the new moon on day 28 of cycle 60, February 29 is a leap year, March 21, 869 BC = the first month of spring:
Likewise, at the death of emperor Wu, the first year of King Ching in China, the first day of the new moon, day 28 of cycle 60, March 28, 1168 BC, in 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice, is the year 28 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC.
Thus, all these years ending in X68 BC = 100's of years before Jesus' sacrifice, may been a sun miracle = God moving the sun 180° or multiples of 180° that the Chinese took as an omen because was on a year 28 of cycle 60 by chance, and China removed their emperor when there was an omen of a sun miracle.
2 Chronicles 24:20 "And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
24:21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
24:22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
24:23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
24:24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash."
This was the same spring when King Heaou came to the throne, when Joash died, in 868 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, the sun miracle that was the omen for the Chinese to change emperors occurred about the first day of the first lunar month of spring. Saturday, March 12, 868 BC and the sun return at the end of the year, half an orbit later, on Yom Kippur, September 13, 868 BC.
Amaziah began to reign in 868 BC. Thus, God may have made a sun miracle then, Zechariah the son of Jehoiada being like a type of Christ the Son of God. Thus, this sun miracle exactly 900 years before Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
Or the sun may have moved on the Passover, Saturday, March 26, 868 BC, and moved back on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, September 27, 868 BC.
2 Kings 14:23 "In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years."
2 Kings 15:1 "In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign."
The 38th year of Azariah from his reign in 841 BC = 802 BC. Jeroboam did not live into the reign of Uzziah. The 38th year = the age of Jesus when he was crucified.
Jeroboam + 14 years of Amaziah, + 38 years of Azariah = 52 years, not 41 years. Azariah 38 years, Jeroboam 52 years, Uzziah 52 years.
Thus, Jeroboam reigned 14 years of Amaziah and 38 years of Azariah to 802 BC. This year, 838 BC, was emperor Le's 14th year when:
"In his, emperor Le, 22nd year from 852 BC = 830 BC, there was a great drought. Note: This is styled the period of Kung-ho. Notes: "The drought had continued so long; that all huts were burnt up. When king Fun died, they consulted by the tortoise-shell the spirit of the sun, and were answered that Le had been done to death by some monstrous thing. When dukes Chow and Shaou had raised his oldest son Tsing to the throne, Ho of Kung returned to his state. He was the man of the greatest virtue."
"In his, emperor Le, 13th year (from 852 BC = 840 BC = the 50th year = the jubilee from 1241 BC in Israel. 840 BC = the first year of King Azariah of Judah), the king was in Che; and Ho, baron of Kung, administered the imperial duties"
"Instead of there being only one regent, however, as these Annals say, the more common accounts make out two, Kung and Ho, the dukes of Chow and Shaou."
If there was only one emperor and not two at the same time, some records may fill in the gap of 120 years of no history in China from 1087 BC to 967 BC. Kings do not like to share power. History being sequential and not a series of co-reigns.
"duke Yew of Ch'in died (830 BC)"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books. p.154
= 830 BC when Azariah was 38 years old, the age of Jesus when he was crucified. This then should be the 38th year of Azariah's life rather than his reign. A sun miracle was often followed by a drought, because the weather systems on earth were affected by the sun moving around the earth.
The 38 years of Jesus' life, 868 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Thus, the earthquake and sun miracle of Amos may have occurred about 838 BC in Azariah's second year. Nevertheless, the great earthquake is estimated about 759 BC, + or - 50 years, that may mean the earthquake was in 800 BC.
From the conquest of Joshua in 1241 BC to 840 BC was about 400 years, and thus a 50 year jubile, after 1241 BC.
Isaiah was the son of Amoz. Spelling rules within the dates the Bible was written varied greatly. Thus, Amoz and Amos may be the same person. Amos must have lived in the time of Jeroboam before 800 BC. Then there is the possibility Isaiah being the next generation was the son of Amos the prophet.
2 Kings 20:1 "In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live."
Nevertheless, Amoz the father of Isaiah may not be Amos the prophet, but Isaiah the prophet began with King Uzziah and the death of Uzziah in Isaiah 6.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day."
This date should be the Passover April 1, 752 BC = 49 year jubiles, and the darkness at noon = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
Isaiah 33:17 "Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off."
Isaiah 1:1 "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah."
The great earthquake has been dated to about 759 BC. King Uzziah died in 751 BC. So, the possibility Isaiah was the son of the prophet Amos.
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
Isaiah 29:6 "Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire."
There must also be another earthquake.
Zechariah 14:5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."
The great earthquake of 759 BC is mentioned. Zechariah 14 must have been written about 470 BC. So, the second earthquake was predicted after 470 BC, probably the earthquake at Jesus' resurrection. The sudden sunrise in the east on the resurrection morning could cause this earthquake:
Matthew 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
Psalm 19:1 "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
"Day unto day uttereth speech" These many sun miracles from the beginning of time point to Jesus, to his perfect life of 38.5 years.
1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain."
Philippians 3:14 "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Hebrews 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"
The verse in Psalm 19:5b "and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race" speaks of moving the sun fast, like running in a race.
Nature tells the Gospel. Sun miracles also tell the Gospel. I believe that King David who wrote this psalm 19 knew that earth rotated, not the sun revolved, each day. David would know there were exceptional days when God moved the sun around the earth. David would know that many times these exceptional days of sun miracles pointed to the birth, life, and crucifixion of God's Son because he knew God promised the Christ would come from his lineage.
When Joshua asked God to stop the sun, the sun possibly was traveling west to east. God may have made the sun rise in the west that night at the middle watch of Gideon in Judges 7:19, perhaps the same day of Joshua's long day. Thus, Joshua knew God was moving the sun and asked God to stop the sun at the noon position in the middle of the sky.
Thus, both Joshua and David must have known earth rotates each day and the sun is already standing still. David should know the times of sun miracles pointed to Jesus' coming.
Or this was a normal day when Joshua asked God to stop the sun in the sky. Very likely earth already was in a reverse orbit from the crossing of the Jordan February 4, 1241 BC, and God had moved the sun to the other side of the earth. That means, Joshua may have asked God to stop the sun in the sky on the right day, the half orbit point, when God can move the sun and planets back without a trace.
1 Chronicles 29:30 "With all his reign (David) and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries"
Many people in Bible times in Bible lands would understand that earth rotates everyday and not the sun revolve around the earth.
Psalm 18:15 "Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils."
This psalm of David speaks of sun miracles. The foundations of the world may apply to earth's orbit, zodiac, around the sun. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Thus, as Israel observed these many sun miracles they would come to understand earth rotates each day, not the sun revolves. Because when God moved the sun this was exceptional, earth must rotate not the sun revolve around the earth each day.
Thus, this Psalm 19 and others declare God's power when God moved the sun around the earth.
Moreso, God moving the sun often on the 17th day of the 7th month to point to Jesus' birth to come on September 12, 7 BC, and even 50 year jubiles to Jesus' three and a half year ministry from September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, and to Jesus' crucifixion on the 49th year jubile, April 3, 33 AD. And God moving the sun in even 100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC and even 100 years to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD.
We know the sun appears to move as earth rotates. However, this psalm is describing God moving the sun as do these other Bible verses as well:
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might!"
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
If the sun has wings, the sun is not stationary, but God moved the sun.
Matthew 28:1 "In the end(G3796) of the Sabbath,G4521 as it began to dawnG2020 towardG1519 the firstG3391 day of the week,G4521 cameG2064 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 andG2532 theG3588 otherG243 MaryG3137 to seeG2334 theG3588 sepulchre.G5028"
end(G3796) means backwardness. Sabbath,G4521 means a Sabbath of seven Sabbaths. Perhaps that Sabbath the sun rose in the west and set in the east.
Job 30:26 "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness."
Job 17:12 "They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness."
Perhaps the sun did come out at night:
"the three Miao tribes were in great disorder and Heaven decreed their destruction. The sun came out at night and for three days it rained blood. A dragon appeared in the ancestral temple and dogs howled in the market place..."
The Chinese Classics, Shun's 32nd year 2191 BC.
In emperor Shun's 32nd year, he commanded the prince of Hea to take the superintendence of the people, who thereupon visited the mountains of the four quarters. In his 33rd year, in the spring, in the first month, the prince of Hea, Yu, received the appointment to be successor, in the temple of the spiritual ancestor; and restored the division of the empire into nine provinces. In his 35th year Shun commanded the prince of Hea, Yu, to lead a punitive expedition against the Yew-meaou. The prince of Yew-maeou came and did homage.
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.116
The four mountains = the four valleys He and Ho were sent to in order to determine the four seasons after the sun miracle of Yaou April 1, 2315 BC.
33 years from Shun's first year in 2222 BC was this sun miracle about 2191 BC in the co-reign of Yu and Shun. 2222 BC = the jubile of 50 years in 29 AD from 22 BC. 2191 BC = the jubile of 50 years from Joshua's conquest 1191 BC.
2222 BC is both a 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD; and a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 1241 BC also is both a 50 year jubile to 591 BC - 70 year captivity to 521 BC, 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD; and a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
2369 BC was a 49 year jubile. Then 2222 BC also was a 49 year jubile; 2369 BC - 147 years (3 X 49) = 2222 BC.
Likewise, from the first year of plenty in Egypt and the first year of emperor Yao when the sun stood still for 9 days, 2315 BC - 3 X 49 years = 1168 BC = the first year of emperor Yu.
From Huangdi in 2657 BC are 7 X 49 years to Yao in 2315 BC. From emperor Fuxi in 2854 BC to emperor Huangdi in 2657 BC are 197 years = 4 X 49 years to 2657 BC.
From Shun's 50th year in 2172 BC are 50 year jubiles to 22 BC and 50 more years to 29 AD = September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, when Jesus began his three and a half year ministry. Backwards 49 year jubilees to 4672 BC are 4 years before Adam at Armenian sothis year 800 = 4568 BC, are also 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. There are 50 year jubiles from 4568 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
Shun's first year in 2222 BC was 490 years to King Kin's 8th year 1732 BC, was 490 years to Joshua's conquest in 1242 BC, was 490 years to Uzziah's last year in 752 BC = the foundation of Rome = 16 X 49 years more to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Back 49 years from this 1732 BC is 1781 BC = 100 years to the children of Israel in slavery beginning in 1681 BC = 400 years to the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. The sun stood still for 10 days in China in 1732 BC in the eighth year of emperor Kin, 100 years before this 1732 BC, and 49 years back is 1881 BC = 200 years to the children of Israel in slavery and 600 years to the Exodus.
Emperor Kin became King of China in 1741 BC = 500 years to 1241 BC when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land on the 49 year jubile.
From Yao's first year in 2315 BC to Yu's first year in 2169 BC is supposed to be 150 years = 100 Yao and 50 Shun. Nevertheless, there was a three year overlap between Yao's 100th year and Shun's first year. Thus, from 2316 BC 97 years to 2219 BC 50 years to Yu 2169 BC.
The first year of Yu was in 2169 BC, was probably based on a sun miracle the Chinese took as a omen to make Yu emperor. This event in China may be 2200 years before Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD, in this first month of spring. The dragon which the Chinese say was brighter than the sun also appeared.
Ezekiel 1:14 "And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."
A neighbour, Andrew Lindsey, an elderly man about 1996, said he saw these wheels inside of wheels at night looking down into the Okanagan Valley from Glenrosa, West Kelowna.
Psalm 18:12 "At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."
Isaiah 28:2 "Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand."
"For the sky to turn dark at noon and shine bright at night"
Huai Nan Tzu 5a.7
This could describe a solar eclipse and a full moon. However, this sentence may also describe sun miracles.
If the sun has wings it must be moving. The resurrection morning may be after the sun rose in the west and set in the east, morning position, then darkness for a few hours, and the sun rise again suddenly and brilliantly in the east.
Psalm 139:9 "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
From this 402 BC; 62 X 7 = 434 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
Days for years: 2300 years from this 402 BC = 1897 AD the year the Gospel came to Scotland and Northern Ireland. 2300 years from Jacob entering Egypt in 2307 BC is Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Jacob entered Egypt with his eleven sons, 70 in total. Jesus sent his 12 apostles, then the 70, to begin preaching the Gospel.
Genesis 46:27 "And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten."
Luke 10:1 "After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
Luke 10:17 "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name."
Psalm 139:9 "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me."
"the uttermost parts of the sea" may be to the west: Morocco and Spain where Jewish people settled. Jewish people settled in Scotland in 1290 AD at the edict of King Edward I in England, and the Gospel revived with the Holy Ghost in Scotland in 1897 AD.
Even so, "the wings of the morning" speaks of the rising sun having wings.
Perhaps the sun set in the east on the Sabbath, April 4, 33 AD = the sun passing from noon in China east to the 9 AM position in China to stand over the Pacific "the uttermost sea". Then the sun become brilliant and travel east to west to suddenly rise on Israel the resurrection Sunday morning, April 5, 33 AD.
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Again the sun has wings because God moved the sun. The earth has wings because the earth orbits the sun. "That it might take hold of the wings of the earth" because God would move the sun to the other side of earth and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun; because God must guide the earth in reverse to the same angle to the sun as normally; because God must speed up earth's reverse orbit 48 hours a reverse orbit year = "take hold".
Job 38:13 "That it might take hold of the wings of the earth"
Job 26:7 "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."
Earth hangs upon nothing because earth orbits the sun.
Micah 7:8 "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
7:9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness."
The sun suddenly rising in the east just hours after the sun set in the east at Jesus' resurrection = thus the sun has wings = the wings of the morning. That evening Jesus revealed himself to his disciples in Jerusalem, when the sun would have set in the west. Thus the sun in the "uttermost parts of the sea".
Isaiah 11:12 "And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."
The four corners of the earth are the four wings of the earth. The wings of the morning are the wings of the sun.
Gideon may have fought through a long night. And returned before the sun rose.
Nevertheless, Gideon would need some light, perhaps from moon light from a ten day moon Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Or twilight by the sun staying on the western or eastern horizon.
Zechariah 14:6 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
The parallel to Jesus could be a long Friday night, then the sun rise in the west and set in the east. Then the sun suddenly rise in the east.
If the same day as Joshua's long day; Joshua may have gone up all night from Gilgal at Jordan to Gibeon. Then Joshua too fought in the darkness at Gibeon. Then the sun rise in the west, stand still at noon for 24 hours, and set in the east. Then the sun suddenly rise in the east. Thus, Gideon's night time battle victory before the sun was up. Jesus' resurrection also was before the sun was up Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Possibly the sun rose in the west that night, just after the beginning of the middle watch when Gideon attacked. Then Joshua's men would have daylight to climb 18 miles from Gilgal to Gibeon. And Joshua reach Gibeon by midday.
Gideon's battle may have been the day the children of Israel crossed the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC. Israelites were already in northern Israel.
Joshua's day may have been a normal day. The moon rising about midnight. Then Joshua and his men would have had the moon light as they hiked up to Gibeon, and began the battle at sunrise in the east.
The reference to Psalm 139:9
Psalm 139:9 "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;"
"the wings" reference is Malachi 4:2:
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wingsH3671; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
That the sun has wings means the sun moved.
Job 38:12 "Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
38:13 That it might take hold of the endsH3671 of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"
H3671 כָּנָף kânâph kaw-nawf' From H3670; an edge or extremity; specifically (of a bird or army) a wing, (of a garment or bed clothing) a flap, (of the earth) a quarter, (of a building) a pinnacle: - + bird, border, corner, end, feather [-ed], X flying, + (one an-) other, overspreading, X quarters, skirt, X sort, uttermost part, wing ([-ed]). Total KJV occurrences: 109
Israel knew the earth orbits the sun, is why the earth has wingsH3671.
Israel then also knew the sun does not orbit the earth each day, but "is turned as clay to the seal" = the earth rotates.
Job 38:14 "It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment."
Israel then also knew God moved the sun on many occasions.
Psalm 19:4 "Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
"rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race" can only mean God moved the sun on occasions.
Mark 16:2 "And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
At the rising of the sun at the evening of the seventh day must mean the sun set in the east, it became dark. And soon after the sun suddenly ascended in the east.
Mark 16:8b "But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all they had been told, And after this, Jesus himself sent out by means of them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation."
"West as the direction of the 'setting' sun. Shorter ending of Mark."
Mark 16:8 in Greek:
Ecclesiastes 1:5 "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."
Ecclesiastes 8:17 "Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it."
Proverbs 25:1 "These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
25:3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable."
Psalm 111:2 "The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein."
Psalm 104:19 "He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down."
"the sun knoweth his going down" That is, the sun travelling west to east, like the sun did for Hezekiah.
Joshua 10:13, "the sun hastened not to go down" for Joshua may have meant Joshua knew God was moving the sun. That God was moving the sun eastward with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky for 24 hours.
The sun travelling west to east at 20 million miles per hour to stand still at noon time for 24 hours = 360°, was not just earth stopped rotating and the sun not moving.
The significance of this "hastened not to go down" to the place the sun arose more significantly may refer to Hezekiah's sign. Then, the parallel should be the sun should rise in the west the Saturday, April 4, 33 AD when Jesus was in the grave to set in the east. Then, darkness for a few hours and the first day would begin when Mary went to the tomb after Jesus rose from the dead. Then the sun would suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east, the place the sun normally rose.
Isaiah 53:11 "Out of the travail of his soul He shall see light, and shall be satisfied:"
The word light appears 272 times in the Bible in 235 verses. Plus, Isaiah 53:11, the word light appears 273 times in 236 verses.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
"the light of the sun shall be sevenfold" the colour of a Chares sun, a crimson sun. There must be a method to make the light from the sun seven times brighter on the resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
The reflection of the sun's bright light, magnified seven times, on the moon would make the moon as bright as the sun normally is.
The resurrection Sunday morning would see the moon rise in the west as the sun set in the east. A few hours after the sun set in the east, the sun should brilliantly shine = the moon be as bright as the sun, the moon appear in the west briefly, then the sun suddenly rise brilliantly that Sunday resurrection morning.
Bernardino Sahagun recorded the Aztec story of creation - "there were two suns, but the rest of the gods did not want two suns in the skies, thus one of the gods grabbed a rabbit and threw it to the second sun to diminish its brightness; that is how a rabbit landed on the Moon and remained there."
"The Aztecs believed when the god of the sun awoke, he drove the moon and the stars from the sky, armed with his mystic weapon, the 'turqouise serpent'."

"the light of seven days" may refer to the Sabbath being called the Sabbaton = seven sabbaths = the day/night lasting seven 12 hour days = 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours = Jesus in the grave three full days, three and a half days.
The sun seven times brighter on the resurrection Sunday morning = Friday night when Jesus was in the grave seven times longer, that is, 7 X 12 hours longer night = the three days of darkness in Exodus = 3 X 24 hours + 12 hours = 84 hours.
Zephaniah 3:5 "The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame."
The sun seven times brighter would reflect off the moon as if the moon was the sun. The sun rise at Jesus' resurrection should be this seven times brighter. The sun should rise in the west the Sabbath Jesus was in the grave, April 4, 33 AD, and set in the east. The sun should continue moving towards the east to the 3 AM Israel position = the full moon above Israel in the west. Thus, Israel would see the moon as bright as the sun before the sun suddenly and brilliantly rose in the east.
Day is not normally made by the sun moving. "hasteth to his place where he arose" may point to the sun setting in the east when Jesus was in the tomb. Then the sun arose suddenly in the east at Jesus' resurrection. Thus, the significance of these words of Solomon, in Proverbs 25, be Jesus' resurrection.
Thus, Joshua by asking God to make both the sun stand still and the moon stay on the eastern horizon in the valley of Ajalon, Joshua was asking God that the sun not move from the noon position to set in the east because the sun and moon must move together. Thus, the sun would be in the middle of the sky in the 12 PM position when the moon stayed in the valley of Ajalon in the east for 24 hours. The sun "hasted not to go down" means Joshua knew the sun was moving when it travelled west east.
That is why Joshua knew what he was praying to God for, that the sun would dim and slow in its movement west east and stop in the middle of the sky. The sign of the resurrection morning would be the sun set in the east, and there be dark for about three hours.
Whereupon the sun suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east. Then the Amorites could escape to the nearby towns in the dark. Thus, Joshua's prayer for more hours of light.
He would know the sun does not normally move when it appears to travel from the east to the west. But when the sun travelled from the west to the east to make a 12 hour day the sun must move 40 million miles per hour. When it stopped in the middle of the sky that day it had been travelling 40 million miles an hour and slowed to 20 million miles per hour. 24 hours later it hasted again to set in the east doubling its speed from 20 million miles per hour to 40 million miles per hour. 6 hours + 24 hours + 6 hours = 36 hours day light that day.
The night time travel of the sun from 11 PM Friday August 23, 1241 BC, or August 9, 1241 BC, to sunrise in the west = 90° and the night time travel from sunset in the east = 90° adding to 180° Thus, the total movement of the sun may have been an odd number 1 X 180° or 3 X 180° or 5 X 180° east and the sun on the other side of the earth.
At the half orbit point of August 10, 1241 BC the sun must travel 2 X 180° = 360° to stand still in the sky for 24 hours.
Earth could flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun at the half orbit point.
Next the sun moved immediately 180° west to suddenly rise in the east to the noon position and start another half reverse orbit of the sun to leave no net missing minutes.
Nevertheless, the sun may move 360° = 24 hours, to stay at the noon position for a whole day of 24 hours, and earth continue in the reverse orbit began at the sun standing still for 12 hours in the sky by moving with earth's rotation to the other side of earth, and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun, at the crossing of the Jordan February 4, 1241 BC.
Some astronomy equations are immediate. Thus, the physics of moving the sun immediately, and not gradually picking up speed. The sun must reach twenty or thirty million miles per hour within a minute. Even the sun must reach the speed of light within a minute when the sun was darkened in its going forth.
The word "immediate" is mentioned 55 times in the New Testament.
Earth may have already been in a reverse orbit, and the day of Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC may be a normal day. Joshua may have known this the half orbit point from crossing the Jorday February 4, 1241 BC.
Then, the sun now at noon, Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still in the sky.
Exodus 15:1 "Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously:H1342 H1342 the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
"triumphed gloriously:H1342 H1342" means to mount up. Perhaps the sun rose in the west, or rose suddenly in the east.
The sun did set in the east for Hezekiah, and may have also set in the east on Joshua's long day, and on other times, such as upon Lu Yang in China about Adar 13 in February of 464 BC, and as recorded in 360 BC and 311 BC in China on the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour."
Most Bible versions retain the word light. But the NIV omits the word light. Yet you can see below the word light is in the Leningrad Codex.
From the NET Bible:
Esther 8:16 "For the Jews was radiant happiness and joyous honor."
NASB "light and gladness joy and honor" The present translation understands the four terms to be a double hendiatys."
Nevertheless, the word light can only mean the sun, either the sun was brighter or the sun stood still in the sky, or the sun retreated, like from the noon position to the dawn position = "the setting sun reverse three houses" for Lu Yang in China.
Thus, the noon day sun on Persia, Xerxes and the Jews, would retreat for Esther and the Jews to the dawn in the east = the setting sun in China and Lu Yang, when Lu Yang pointed to the sun with his spear in battle, the sun rose in the west three solar mansions to the noon, to the meridian, in China.
Thus, "the Jews had light."
Part of Esther 8:16 in the Leningrad Codex. The word "Light" the third line, the first word from the right:
The word "light" in the Leningrad Codex:
The word for light in Esther 8:16 ending in the letter "He". LightH219 occurs only two times, the other two refer to herbs. In contrast the word lightH216 occurs 122 times.
Here you can see the Leningrad Codex in print. Note verse 16 begins on the second line right to left, the word light in the middle:
Here you can see the same words in the interlinear Bible:
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had lightH219 and gladness, and joy, and honour."
H219 אוֹרָה 'ôrâh o-raw' Feminine of H216; luminousness, that is, (figuratively) prosperity; also a plant (as being bright): - herb light. Total KJV occurrences: 4
The fact the Jews had light, and this word light is in the Leningrad Codex from 930 AD, and this was about the time the sun reversed three solar mansions, from sunset to the meridian, at the time of Lu Yang in China, = the noon sun on Shushan and Israel retreated to the dawn = sunrise position, means the book of Esther is fact.
Esther 8:17 "And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them."
The sun miracle in the previous verse, Esther 8:16, may have made such an impression on people to serve the living God.
The word light only appears four times in the Bible. Esther 8:16, 2 Kings 4:39, Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 139:12.
2 Kings 4:39 "And one went out into the field to gather herbsH219, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not."
Isaiah 26:19 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbH216, and the earth shall cast out the dead."
Psalm 139:12 "Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the lightH216 are both alike to thee."
H219 אוֹרָה 'ôrâh o-raw' Feminine of H216; luminousness, that is, (figuratively) prosperity; also a plant (as being bright): - herb light. Total KJV occurrences: 4
Esther 8:16 "And to the Jews, a new light seemed to rise, joy, honour and dancing."
Latin Vulgate
"a new light seemed to rise" the sun may have set in the east, and rose again in the east = a new day = the sun rose from the west in China for Lu Yang.
Esther 9:17 "On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness."
Thus, the day the Jews had light at the sun miracle on Adar 13.
"Thus, the whole number of years [of early Egyptian history] is 341 Pharaohs, in which entire space, they said, no god had ever appeared in a human form; nothing of this kind had happened either under the former or under the later Egyptian kings. The sun, however, had within this period of time, on four several occasions, moved from his wonted course, twice rising where he now sets, and twice setting where he now rises. Egypt was in no degree affected by these changes; the productions of the land, and of the river, remained the same; nor was there anything unusual in the diseases or the deaths."
The History of Herodotus, chapter 2
Here you see the sunset on Joshua's long day. Joshua 10:27:
Joshua 10:27 "And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
The sun must set in the west or the east and the sun may have set in the east.
Nevertheless, the sun stood still at noon for a day of 12 or 24 hours, and probably then set in the west.
Ereb 6153 means sun set. This could equally mean sun set in the east. In the evening means between the evenings of sunset and dark. Bow 935 means the going down or setting of the sun. Bow 835 may also mean the more profound meaning to bow down; to set in the east. To come or to return. When the sun set in the east it returned to the east. This word appears as the origin of Greek words for the sun to bow down in the east before the early resurrection sunrise in the east. And also, the sun to bow down in the west on the two travelling to Emmaus with Jesus, when they said to Jesus "the day is far spent".
The Hebrew word Erev is like our English word Evening. Evening begins when it is totally dark, both in Israel and in China.
The sun could travel 45° east from the 11 PM position to the 8 PM position in August, then the sun travel 180° east to rise in the west to the noon position = 180° in six hours;, then stay at the noon position for 24 hours = 360°, then the sun set in the east 180° in six hours, then the sun move a further 45° east to the 3 AM position, the third hour of the night = a likeness to the resurrection morning and Gideon's attack at the middle watch, the Roman watch over the tomb. Then that Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, the sun would stop and reverse course and travel 180° west from the 9 AM China position = 3 AM Israel position to the 3 PM Israel position.
Nevertheless, the sun at noon and the moon almost setting in the west when Joshua made his request to God to stop the sun and moon means either God moved the sun 180° to stand still in the sky for a day of 12 hours and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, or that God moved the sun 360° to stand still in the sky for a day of 24 hours, and earth continue in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Now we need to take care of the 40 minutes. We find a 40 minute difference between the length of the two half reverse orbits applied to the 48 hours sped up time because earth's orbit is elliptical. Now to find a reference to the beginning of the second half reverse orbit: In Judges 8:13 Gideon returned before the sun ascended, perhaps suddenly in the east at sevenfold brightness. Then earth could flow into a reverse orbit of the sun for the winter half reverse orbit to take care of the 40 minutes to February 5, 1239 BC.
Joshua may have been aware that the sun by moving west east was revolving around the earth that day. So when Joshua asked God to stop the sun he knew what he was talking about.
Joshua may have been afraid that the sun rising in the west, now at noon on Gibeon, would set in the east in six hours, and there be dark for about three hours, and the Amorites be able to flee to the cities and regroup. Thus, Joshua prayed the sun above and the six day moon in the east, stay still in the sky. Thus, perhaps the same pattern may have been the sabbath Jesus was in the grave. The sun rising in the west and setting in the east, the sabbath ended at dark when the three Mary's went to prepare Jesus' body with spices. Then the sun suddenly rose in the east. Thus, Joshua may have been aware of this pattern of sun miracles, and asked God to prolong the day before there be dark.
Nevertheless, Joshua's long day may have been a normal day in a normal orbit, and God answered Joshua's prayer so that there would be an extra day of sunlight so the enemy could not escape.
If this was a normal day, God must move the sun to the other side of earth, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then God must move the sun 180° in 12 hours, or 540° in 36 hours. A + 12 hour day means the day would be 24 hours long instead of 12 hours long. A + 36 hour day means the day would be 48 hours long instead of 12 hours long.
Or, this was a reverse orbit from the crossing of the river Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, and Joshua chose the right day at the half orbit point to make his request to God the sun stand still.
Joseph, Joshua's father 1088 years earlier in 2329 BC dreamed, and there was a sun miracle for Joseph when he was in Egypt. This may have been when the sun stood still in the sky for 10 days in China, whereupon Yao was made emperor over China and Joseph governor over Egypt in 2315 BC. Joshua would have been aware of his father's dream, Joseph's dream, and thus with his request to God to make the sun stand still, fulfilled this prophesy again in his lifetime.
Genesis 37:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
Matthew 5:45 "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
"maketh his sun to rise" to me means Jesus did not say the sun moves around the earth each day. To make to rise should be understood to cause the earth to rotate 360° each day.
Psalm 113:3 "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised."
In the margin of my Cambridge Bible this is the hymn Jesus sang before he was betrayed. The sun may rise in the west and set in the east that Sabbath Jesus was in the tomb. The sun must suddenly rise in the east on Jesus' resurrection.
The sun may suddenly rise in the east, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC. Then there would be a second half reverse orbit of 177.6 days right after the first covers the shortest half of earth's elliptical orbit. 177.5/365.25 X 48 = 23:20 hours. Thus, both half orbits: 23:20 hours + 24:40 hours = 48 hours missing time. We have found the missing 40 minutes.
48 hours elapsed time countered by 48 hours missing time. The elapsed time: + 12 hours February 4, 1241 BC or + 36 hours total day ligh, + 12 hours or + 24 hours on Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, February 4, 1240 BC the sun stand still at noon again for 12 or 24 hours, the sun stand still for 12 hours or more August 10, 1240 BC and the sun return by standing still at noon in Israel = sunset in China, February 5, 1239 BC. All these must add up to 48 hours a year.
The beginning of the middle watch may be the time the sun rose in the west and stood still in the sky for 24 hours.
Then the sun set in the west and rose suddenly in the east in Judges 8:13 at sevenfold brightness like at Jesus' resurrection April 5, 33 AD.
2 Timothy 1:10 "But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:"
Ephesians 5:14 "Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."
At 11 PM August 23, 1241 BC, or 11 PM August 9, 1241 BC, the sun may travel 45° east to rise in the west at the 8 PM position then passing 180° in six hours to the noon position. Then the sun travelling 360° to stand still at noon for 24 hours. Then the sun travelling 180° to set in the east on Israel in six hours. Then the sun travelling 45° to the 9 AM position in China, 3 AM position in Israel. Earth temporarily flowing out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Then the sun reversing course, and suddenly and brilliantly travelling 180° west to the 3 PM position - or noon position because of a few hours to travel the 180°.
Or Joshua's long day was just simply the sun standing still for a day.
When Jesus was crucified, that Saturday the sabbath, there is a strong possibility the sun rose in the west and set in the east and there was darkness, the three Mary's came to the tomb at the end of the sabbath at dark. Then the sun brilliantly rose in the east on the resurrection morning.
When the sun travelled east 45° and 180° then 360° and stood still in the sky then 180° and set in the east on Israel, then the sun move 45° further east to the 3 AM Israel position. And when the sun travelled west 180° perhaps the sun was brightened sevenfold.
Then when earth flowed out of the second half reverse orbit February 5, 1239 BC, eclipse paths on earth's surface would be exactly where we would predict them to be backwards in time and daily coral lines would be exactly as we would expect them to be each day. Yes, you can find if the sun set in 12 more hours, or 24 more hours, on August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, in the daily growth on a coral. However, if the sun were dimmed the layer may appear as any other daily layer.
The sun may have been dimmed while it stood still in the sky to leave the same daily coral line, coral polyps lay down daily growth rings. "If a ring is added each day it could be that on a day with particularly bad weather no ring is added".
Nevertheless, the cloudiest day is five times brighter than the brightest office. I have seen blue and purple coral forty feet down in Hawaii that must receive enough sunlight to make coral rings.
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
The word for "about" is the letter Kaph and means "like the" or "about". The text reads "the sun stood still for nearly a full day" about 24 hours. Thus, the word like a full day. - A day, Yom, may mean a range of light colors from sunrise to sunset. Thus, the word "about" a day of 12 hours as there are 10 hours in winter sun light and 14 hours sun light in summer. However, a whole day includes the night and day and is one complete revolution of 24 hours rather than about 12 hours of sun light. Thus, the sun stood still in the sky for like the full revolution of one full day of 24 hours. The first half orbit is short 40 minutes in missing time in the 24 hours sped up time for the first half orbit.
At the half orbit point, Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC means the sun must move 360° and stand still at noon for 24 hours. A 24 hour longer day, not a 12 hour longer day.
Then the 40 missing minutes may be applied to the 24 hours the sun stood still August 10, 1241 BC. Thus, the term the sun stood still in the sky for "about" a whole day is very accurate. The sun stood still for 23:20 hours while the sun revolved around the earth 350°. The term "from the half of heaven" means earth was already in a reverse orbit from the sun moving 180° six months earlier at the crossing of the Jordan river on dry ground. From the half of heaven means from the sun's position among the stars. From February 4, 1241 BC is half an orbit to August 10, 1241 BC, when the sun must return and the night sky of the night of August 10, 1241 BC be 180° different than the night before as the sun was on the other side of the earth.
This word for half a day is the same as the word here in Nehemiah "midday"
Nehemiah 8:3 "And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law."
"from the morning until midday" = from the illumination to the half day. There could be a sun miracle this day. The text did not say the sun rose in the east as usual.
Earth in a reverse orbit since February 4, 1241 BC, meant the sun moved 180° to the August zodiac, then continued in six months, half an orbit, to the February zodiac in August. The sun stood still from the half of heaven, noon, that day for 24 hours. If the sun travelled a straight path around the earth, the sun would appear in its noon position, to rise 23° then decline 23°. The sun at its heighest would reach 80°, 10° less than middle.
The sun may move up and down over the 24 hours the sun stood still at noon over Gibeon. Thus, the sun at the summer solstice at 23° latitude would be at 80° above in Jerusalem ten degrees further north. The noon day sun on Gibeon may appear to move up to 80° above to 34° above, the sun moving around the earth in a straight line.
To leave the same tide, it may be necessary to keep the sun at the 80° above in the August 10, 1241 BC noon day.
Then if you can picture the sun revolving around the earth 350° with earth's rotation to stand still at noon Israel time for 23:20 hours, about a full day. That is 24 more hours of daylight. Thus, the missing 40 minutes in the missing day story.
John 11:9 "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."
The sun stood still "in the midst" of heaven is literally translated as "from the half" of heaven"
The red letter Bet, is thought to have originally meant "from" instead of "in" or "with".
If you look closely, the red letter Bet looks like a one room house, which is its meaning. The sun would be in the zodiac house of Virgo where it normally would be August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, but meeting the same zodiac house briefly in earth's reverse orbit. Half an orbit after the crossing of the Jordan river, February 4, 1241 BC, was Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
The sun would revolve aroud the earth 360° for 24 hours, stopping again at the half orbit point of August 10, 1241 BC. The sun may then proceed to set in the east, and after a few hours, suddenly rise in the east to stop again at this half orbit point, the sun again on the other side of earth, and earth flow again into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then the sun return February 4, 1240 BC, and again August 10, 1240 BC, and earth flow out of and again the sun move to the other side and earth flow into a reverse orbit, until February 5, 1239 BC, and finally the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
- Strong's 719b. This letter "Bet", first from the right, originally meant "from" just as from the first chapter of the Bible, Genesis 1:4
Genesis 1:4 "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
Exodus 14:16 "But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."
Exodus 12:41 "And it came to pass at the end of (from) 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."
Just as the letter "Bet" meant from, from the sojourn into Egypt Sothis year 430 - April 1, 2307 BC to the end of the Egyptian Sothis calendar year 1456, Exodus at the full moon = Passover, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, from Exodus 12:40
- not to be confused with the similar looking letter Kaph in "kayom tamiym" below. That night the Israelites must have seen stars from the other half of heaven.
Some contend the term "kayom tamiym" - "about day whole" - Note the first letter from the right is Kaph = about.
Some contend - as day as in the warm hours - in Joshua 10:13 - signifies the longest day of the year - the summer solstice. Early observers believed the sun travelled north (up) to the summer solstice, then stopped and travelled south (down) in its seasonal movement. That is, the sun rose higher in the sky towards summer then lower after. The sun rose and set further to the north every day approaching summer then to the south approaching winter. The days grew incrementally longer, then stopped growing, then grew shorter. Likewise the days stopped shortening on the winter solstice.
Solstice means sun died. Stitium means stop or pause. The sun in winter would travel the furthest south. The sun in summer would travel the furthest north. Thus, the sun died, and began to appear in the other direction. Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC was 40 days after the summer solstice = 40 days after the longest day of the year.
The word sun died may have come from God making the sun stand still in the sky. At the summer solstice, yes, the sun appears to stop rising higher in the sky. Joshua's long day was not the summer solstice. The sun stayed at the noon position for 12 or 24 hours.
From TheSky at Jerusalem on August 10, 1241 BC, sunrise is at 4:47 AM and sunset is at 18:25 PM. That is 108 minitues, almost two more hours of daylight, as there would be on the spring or fall equinox.
There appears a sun miracle January 26, 2636 BC in Huangdi's 20th year on the new moon, and begin day of count 60 and year of count 60. January 26, 2636 BC was only 10 days after the winter solstice. A sun miracle half a year, half an orbit, later would also be 10 days after the summer solstice. Thus if the sun stopped in the sky in January, this could be called the sun died.
When the sun stood still in the sky, it may be termed the sun died. Thus, Joshua's long day and other similar sun miracles, may have given the meaning of the solstice, both sun miracles in winter in January and in summer in July. Thus, Joshua asked God to stop the sun - from moving west to east - for 24 hours August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, and again God stopped the sun for 12 hours February 15, 1240 BC, or February 4, 1240 BC.
And again God moved the sun with earth's rotation for 12 hours, 180°, on king Wan's dream, most likely February 5, 1239 BC and not February 15, 1240 BC.
Sun stopped equals sun died equals solstice.
However, we see the solution here as the sun moved 180° = 12 hours leaving no evidence as earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. The sun standing still in the middle of the sky climbed to the summer solstice position by the eighth hour of the 12 hour miracle. The east and west reversal on the Dendera Zodiac may depict the sun moving 180° and the zodiac shifting. The 180° shift in the zodiac may have been the reason the writer wrote the earth was upside down.
The language of Yao's Canon when Yao sent He and Ho to determine the four seasons, necessary for agriculture, by four new stars in the reverse orbit, 2315 BC, suggests a reverse orbit after the sun moved 9 X 180° (nine is an odd number not an even number, thus the sun stopped on the other side of the earth after moving 9 X 180°) to stand still on China for nine days whereupon Yao was made emperor and commissioned He and Ho.
The four stars were not even visible in the equinoxes and solstices in 2315 BC, and would not visible till 1400 years later in about 1900 BC.
The reason the four stars culminated in the equinoxes and solstices was because the sun had moved April 1, 2315 BC, 10 days before the spring equinox, April 11, 2315 BC. It takes 26,000 years for earth to precess 360°. The effect of moving the sun say at the winter solstice, 90 days before the spring equinox, is to move the sun 180° to the other side of earth. Thus, 90 days = 180° means 10 days = 20°.
This means the effect of moving the sun to the other side of earth April 1, 2315 BC is = to 2 X 10 / 365 X 26,000 years = 1400 years more recent zodiac sky. Then, all four stars in Yao's Canon would mark the four seasons.
Only the star for spring would be the star for fall, and the star for fall would be the star for spring.
There is no other solution to Yao's Canon.
Everything points to a reverse zodiac for Joshua as well.
Then Joshua's long day was far from a natural phenomenon. This was many very extreme miracles working together to provide a semblance of normality.
If the sun moved with earth's rotation 12 hours, that is half way, Israel would see stars from the other half of heaven that night. While demonstrating to my wife, in the summer of 1999, the sun moving 180° around the earth to stand still in the sky, I moved a globe of the earth forward, then it occurred to me earth would continue moving but now in reverse. Ancient Greek and Chinese records describe earth in a reverse orbit. You will see the sun may have stood still in the sky for 12 hours as it moved 180° to the other side of earth.
The first day of the seventh month may have been when Joshua spoke the blessing and cursing of the Law on Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, Sunday, July 21, 1241 BC.
Then Joshua's long day three weeks later on the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC.
However, Joshua went up to Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan, before Joshua 5 in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the tenth day of the first month, the same day, Sunday February 4, 1241 BC.
Then also, Joshua speak again at Shechem in 1221 BC, in the 20th year of the conquest in Joshua 24 according to Josephus. Then both jubilees, 50 year jubilees from 1241 BC to 591 BC, 70 year captivity to 521 BC, and also from 1221 BC, 50 year jubilees to Jesus' fulfillment of the jubilee when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Joshua 24:1 "And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God."
Thus, Joshua speaking from the 21st year of conquest in 1221 BC and Joshua's long day on the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC. Joshua may have spoke in chapter 24 of Joshua on the 21st day of the seventh month, the great feast day = the last day of the feast of tabernacles; the 21st year the 21st day of the seventh month.
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
Deuteronomy 11:29 "And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
Thus, Joshua's long day probably was the 21st day of the seventh month, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC half an orbit after the crossing of the River Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC = the same day Joshua and Israel hiked up to Mount Ebal and Mount Gerrzim.
Leviticus 23:24 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
Perhaps then the Israelites returned to Gilgal the next day from Mount Ebal, the next day after crossing the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC. The law was meant to be read also on the first day of the seventh month, July 20, 1241 BC. Next there was Yom Kippur the 10th day of the seventh month, July 31, 1241 BC and the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the 21st day of the seventh month = the day before Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC.
New Years on a jubile was not on the first day of the seventh month, but on the tenth day, on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement.
Because 1241 BC was a jubile year, both 49 year and 50 year, the new year was the 10th day of the seventh month instead of the first day of the seventh month. Then, the new year was ten days before Joshua's long day.
Because 1241 BC was a 49 year jubile, the Passover Friday February 9, 1241 BC = 26 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Because 1241 BC was a 50 year jubile - to 591 BC, 70 years captivity to 521 BC, Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur to begin the year September 9. 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Then the following month, the first lunar day of the eighth month, or more likely the first week of the seventh month, the Gibeonites met Joshua at Gilgal. Next, on the third day, of the week, Tuesday, of the lunar month, August 6, 1241 BC. Then a few days later the five kings of the Amorites attacked Gibeon, and Gibeon sent for Joshua, and Joshua ascended Friday night to come to the aid of Gibeon.
More likely Joshua's long day was August 10, 1241 BC and the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the 21st day of the seventh month. Then Joshua may have ascended to Mount Ebal on the first day of the seventh month, Rosh Hashana, July 20, 1241 BC to speak the words of the law in the audience of all the people.
Joshua 9:16 "And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them."
The sun must return six months after Joshua's long day and be the extra day light Joshua needed at the battle of Merom and earth flowed out of a reverse orbit one year after the crossing of the river Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
Likewise, if the sun stood still for 12 hours on the night after Joshua's long day the Israelites would see stars from the other half of heaven.
These little words in the Bible are important, the word about, the letter Kaf
Luke 3:23 "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,"
Or, Jesus began his ministry when he was about thirty years of age,
Jesus was probably born the 17th of the seventh month, according to the pattern of Noah's flood in Genesis 7 and Genesis 8, Saturday, September 12, 7 BC.
Jesus began his public ministry when he was in the 30th decade = 35 years old, on Yom Kippur Saturday, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, the 10th day of the seventh month, and with his birthday a few days later, the 17th of the seventh month, September 17, 29 AD. Or simply his birthday September 12, 7 BC almost equal to September 9, 29 AD.
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."
Jesus began to be 35 years old in this September 17, 29 AD. There is no year zero. Thus, Jesus began to be about thirty years of age. The original of Luke may have been Hebrew.
Then the letter Kaph = about. This word about is just like the record when the sun stood still for about a day less 40 minutes, about a whole day, Jesus began his ministry five years after he turned thirty, in the spring/summer when he was baptized. Thus, Jesus' age in Luke would be in Jesus' 34th year before Jesus turned 35 years old, September 17, 29 AD. Jesus would be 34 years old, turning 35 years old, September 17, 29 AD.
1 Kings 22:42 "Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
Jesus began his ministry when he became thirty five, on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Jehoshaphat died in 922 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry when he turned 35.
2 Chronicles 20:31 "And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
2 Chronicles 20:26 'And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day."
2 Chronicles 15:19 "And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa."
The fast may be Yom Kippur, and the four days later be the first day of the feast of tabernacles.
Many dates in the Bible point to 40 and 39 and 38 years. Thus, the purpose of the Bible to point to the life of Christ.
So Jesus would be 34 and a half at the Passover in Jerusalem in Friday, March 18, 29 AD. The meaning of Luke 3:23 may be Jesus was in his 30th decade when he was baptized.
Nevertheless, Jesus began his three and a half year ministry on Yom Kippur, probably Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
Literally, the decade of three = Strongs 5144 + Strongs 5140. Thus, 35 years old is halfway through the 30th decade. Thus, 35 years is exactly the 30th decade. The Syriac and Persic versians leave out the word began because it is redundant. Jesus officially began his ministry at the beginning of the 50 year jubile, which should be - Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD, when in Luke 4 he spoke from Isaiah 61.
You will see the probable was that the sun revolved to the other side of earth for a long day for Joshua August 10, 1241 BC, and Israel to cross the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC, and to hike up to Shechem, and read the Law from Mount Ebal and Mount Gerrizim. And thus, earth flow into a reverse orbit, February 4, 1241 BC and out of a reverse orbit February 5, 1239 BC.
Here we see how the sun stood still in the noon position for Joshua for "about" a full day of 24 hours. The missing time was 40 minutes less than 24 hours. Perhaps the sun revolved around the earth 350° standing still in the sky for 23:20 hours elapsed time. Then when the sun returned February 5, 1239 BC, at noon Israel time, this was 6 PM China time for king Wan. Then the six day moon would be above and the sun had set and the stars of Fang/Scorpius came out with the planets. Then the sun stood still for 12 hours at the noon position on Israel at the battle of Merom, and at the twilight sunset position on China. Then the sun moved a further 10° east to make up for the 24:40 hours, 40 minutes missing time, in the second half reverse orbit.
Even the sun may have moved back February 5, 1239 BC. The forty minutes of missing time regained on king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC one year after the battle of Merom, February 4, 1240 BC in Joshua 11 and Judges 4 and 5.
Thus, the sun moved 190° and ascended in the west to the sunset position. That is, the sun set in the west in China the night of the sixth day moon, February 5, 1239 BC, then rose in the west 10° within 12 hours as the sun stood still at noon on Israel. Thus, the sun moved 190° in 12 hours. Thus, king Wan both saw the stars come out, then the sun come out. Thus, he dreamt he was clothed in the sun and the moon.
The reference in The Missing Day Story to the sun's shadow descending backwards in 2 Kings 20:9-11 was the Hebrew word Mahaleh, for ascending as well. Perhaps the second reference to the sun setting in the east is equally applicable to Joshua's long day. The sun descended, then ascended. The sun ascended in Judges 8:13 when Gideon returned before the sun was up, before the sun ascended for a second half reverse orbit, to correct for this 40 minutes. Also, of note is the reference to the sun going backwards.
That the sun ascended, perhaps it had descended. The sun might have gone backwards to rise/descend from the west at Friday 11 PM August 23, 1241 BC, or Friday 11 PM August 9, 1241 BC, on the Sabbath being the Hebrew Saturday, stood still at noon for 24 hours, then set in the east and then suddenly ascended, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, in the east.
Perhaps the sun was brightened to sevenfold when it ascended in the east to the noon position, and dimmed when it stood still 24 hours, then set in the east. The sudden sunrise in the east Sunday August 25, 1241 BC, or perhaps Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, was like the early sudden sunrise on Jesus' resurrection. Perhaps the sun rose in the west the night of August 23, 1241 BC, or August 9, 1241 BC, finally setting in the east 36 hours later - a 36 hour long day.
The sun would rise in the west to the meridian in China before suddenly and brilliantly moving west for a sudden sunset on China in the west and sunrise in the east on Israel. Then the moon would set in the east and day appear dim like it does on a heavy cloudy day. Then this day may be like the resurrection morning.
Joshua may have rightly thought that the sun now at noon would set in the east in six hours, then there would be three hours of darkness and the enemy get away. Then the sun would suddenly rise in the east for a short day of about six hours.
Nevertheless, this may have been a normal day, and Joshua encouraged by God made this request at midday.
Joshua needed victory that day, and 24 more hours of daylight was what he really needed.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation."
1 Samuel 9:26 "And they arose early: and it came to pass about the springH5927 of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad."
H5927 עָלָה ‛âlâh aw-law' A primitive root; to ascend, intransitively (be high) or active (mount); used in a great variety of senses, primary and secondary, literally and figuratively: - arise (up). (cause to) ascend up, at once, break [the day] (up), bring (up), (cause to) burn, carry up, cast up, + shew, climb (up), (cause to, make to) come (up), cut off, dawn, depart, exalt, excel, fall, fetch up, get up, (make to) go (away, up), grow (over), increase, lay, leap, levy, lift (self) up, light, [make] up, X mention, mount up, offer, make to pay, + perfect, prefer, put (on), raise, recover, restore, (make to) rise (up), scale, set (up), shoot forth (up), (begin to) spring (up), stir up, take away (up), work. Total KJV occurrences: 890
"the spring of the day" was the word alah, meaning to ascend. Thus, the sun may have ascended suddenly in the east after setting in the east for only a few hours of dark. Thus, the early morning. And thus the pattern of the resurrection Sunday.
Joshua 10:14 "And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."
The next verse, Joshua 10:15, does not appear in the Septuagint.
Joshua 10:15 "And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
The same day the sun finally set:
Joshua 10:27 "And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
That there was no day like it for Joshua that God hearkened to a man must have meant that it was almost blasphemy at other times to command the sun to stand still and God did not hearken to man at other times. However, Joshua may have intended to ask God to make the sun stand still when he urged the Israelites to go up at once and conquer the promised land soon after the Israelites left Egypt:
Psalm 84:10 "For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
There is no shade in the noon day sun. Clouds may cover the sun, shield from the sun. Thus, the North American Thunderbird = Phoenix. God appeared so brilliant that thunder clouds covered the sky in Psalm 18:
Psalm 18:12 "At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire."
Numbers 14:9 "Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their shade is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not."
The word "their shade is departed from them" Joshua may have meant a sunrise and the sun standing still at noon for 24 hours while they got the victory. Like wise, the king of the Midianites Gideon slew, Zalmunna, means "shade taken away".
The sun must have moved 7 X 180° for the three days of darkness March 15, 1281 BC.
Exodus 10:22 "And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:"
Then, one and a half years later, the second year, should be when the twelve spies returned at the ingathering of fruit in the seventh month, one year and 186 days later = September 17, 1280 BC = the 17th day of the seventh month = September 12, 7 BC, also the 17th day of the seventh month when Jesus must have been born. The sun can move back at the half orbit and the full orbit = at the sixth month and at the twelfth month.
One and a half orbits after this March 15, 1281 BC is the last quarter moon of the seventh month, September 19, 1280 BC = the last quarter moon of the seventh month Joshua asked God to make the sun and moon stand still = no shade. Both times Joshua may be aware this is the half orbit point, the time to make the sun and moon move to the other side of the earth.
First ripe grapes are in May/June. The ingathering of fruit is in the feast of tabernacles between the 15th day and the 21st day of the seventh month = this same last quarter moon in the seventh month.
Numbers 1:1 "And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
1:2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;"
This second month of the second year began the new moon April 3, 1280 BC; the Hebrew new month April 5, 1280 BC = Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD and his resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
If a second month of Adar., the twelfth month was added, this would be Sunday, both the first day of the week and the first day of the month, May 5, 1280 BC.
The ninth of Ave, the fifth month, may be Friday, August 9, 1280 BC. 39 years later to the day Joshua's long day may have been Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Even when Isaiah prayed the sun to retreat ten steps, it was God that commanded Isaiah to ask Hezekiah if the shadow should decline ten steps, retreat ten steps.
Judges 5:20 "They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
The stars in their courses may simply mean the sun moved to the other side of earth that day. If the sun moved 180° that night Israel would see stars from the other half of heaven. The stars would be seen to set in the west and disappear in the west as earth orbited the sun in its normal counter clockwise orbit. In the reverse orbit before this the stars would appear more and more from the west each night.
That is, instead of stars disappearing in the west at sunset as the days and months go by, stars would appear earlier and earlier each night, about 4° earlier each night.
For example Sirius first appears in the east before the sun about in August. In a reverse orbit Sirius would first appear in the west through a reverse orbit year.
We picture the stars disappearing more and more into the west through the year.
In a reverse orbit the stars would grow higher and higher from the west each day through the year. That is, the stars would not disappear in the west to not appear again.
The sun on the other side of the earth = stars visible from the other side of the earth = a six month difference = the midnight stars would be 180° away from where they were the night before.
Thus, "the stars in their courses fought against Sisera" was like a turnpike that did not let Sisera through.
Thus, the sun was moved to the other side of the earth and earth flowed out of, or into, the reverse orbit of the sun.
Septuagint Judges 5:20 "The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves to fight with Sisara out of their paths."
This Greek verse may suggest the five planets were also seen to be out of place that night in Israel as they were seen in conjunction in Fang/Libra in China that night in king Wan's dream.
The stars "out of their paths" may mean earth in a reverse orbit.
That day, February 5, 1239 BC Saturn was supposed to be in Taurus, but was 180° away in Scorpius. All five planets were moved out of the way of the sun, "out of their paths". Light from Saturn takes 80 minutes to get to earth. Thus Saturn appeared in Scorpius for 80 minutes after God started to move the sun = the five planet conjuction in Scorpius. "King Wan was like the shining of the sun and the moon, the western quarters."
Or, more likely that day, February 5, 1239 BC was king Wan's dream, and Saturn still in Scorpius before God moved the sun back.
Judges 4 and 5 must be the battle of Merom in Joshua 11. Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC means this battle of Merom should be six months later when the sun may return February 4, 1240 BC, when also there may be a plus 24 hours longer day. King Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC was one year and six months later. Therefore, this battle of Merom may also be one year and six months later = a plus 12 hours longer day.
"In his (Yao) 70th year (2245 BC).. The five old men (the five planets) on this flew away like flowing stars and ascended in the constellation Maou (Taurus)."
The Chinese Classics, emperor Yao
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might!"
The Hebrew Interlinear Masoretic Judges 5:31:
The Leningrad Codex Judges 5:31. H341 = your enemies in plene seven times:
The Masorah of the Former Prophets in the Leniningrad Codex. Volume 2, Judges. p.95.
Both the night time stars Judges 5:20 and a sudden sunrise Judges 5:31 and Judges 8:13 = a bright day time sun refer to sun miracles.
Likewise a reference to 2 Samuel 22:21 = Psalm 18:13 = a sun miracle.
Judges 5:20 "They fought from heavenH8064; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
2 Samuel 22:14 "The LORD thundered from heavenH8064, and the most High uttered his voice."
Psalm 18:13 "The LORD also thundered in the heavensH8064, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire."
H8064 שָׁמֶה שָׁמַיִם shâmayim shâmeh shaw-mah'-yim, shaw-meh' The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve): - air, X astrologer, heaven (-s). Total KJV occurrences: 421
2 Kings 20:9-11 describes a similar sun miracle. The sun must rise in the west and set in the east for Hezekiah. Thus, 180° of sky are represented by 10 steps.
The book of Daniel speaks of hours of the day. Thus, in this 703 BC, just 100 years before Daniel went into captivity in 602 BC, the divisions of hours may have been known. In Egypt there were 24 divisions = 24 hours of the day in the celestial ceiling of Senmut. Thus, the ten steps in the upper dial of Ahaz could simply depict ten hours, almost 180° = the sun moved 180° in ten hours.
Nevertheless, the sun at noon when God spoke to Isaiah to ask if the shadow should set in the west or the east. Then, from noon the sun pass to the dawn position in the east = the meridian in China. The sun being moved 180° in six hours, and earth flowing into or out of a reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus, Hezekiah's sign was similar to the Sabbaton the disciples rested - the sabbaton was a Friday night of seven nights and the sun descended from the west to set in the east that Saturday. Perhaps that night was 36 hours longer. Perhaps the sun stood still that Saturday noon for 24 hours as it revolved around the earth 360° and was like Joshua's long day. Then that Saturday, day light, would last 36 hours. I do not know how long the day lasted Saturday, April 4, 33 AD. It could have been a long day, a 12 hour day, or a few hours of day light. Possibly the sun rose in the west and set in the east that day. Then the sun may have rose in the east suddenly and brilliantly that resurrection Sunday morning April 5, 33 AD.
The resurrection may be likened to the healing of the seven fold sun suddenly ascending from the east. Thus, the shadow would both go backwards then forward 10 steps = 180 degrees = 10 hours. Thus, Hezekiah may have been healed by a sevenfold sun at sunrise, after three days of darkness and the sun rising in the west and setting in the east, a sign of the resurrection. Thus, Joshua's long day was very similar. There is the possibility Hezekiah's Sign was in 703 BC, probably with the same pattern of sun miracles as leading up to Jesus' resurrection. Thus, the reference to II Kings 20 works.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
"the light of seven days" may indicate a long night and day after Jesus was crucified. Some suggest Jesus was crucified on Thursday to give three days to Sunday. However, the three days may have been accomplished by moving the sun to equal 3 x 24 hours to Jesus' resurrection = 7 X 12 hours.
Psalm 113:3 "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised"
Herodotus, a Greek historian, wrote that the Egyptian priests reported:
"Thus, the whole number of years [of early Egyptian history] is 341 Pharaohs, in which entire space, they said, no god had ever appeared in a human form; nothing of this kind had happened either under the former or under the later Egyptian kings. The sun, however, had within this period of time, on four several occasions, moved from his wonted course, twice rising where he now sets, and twice setting where he now rises. Egypt was in no degree affected by these changes; the productions of the land, and of the river, remained the same; nor was there anything unusual in the diseases or the deaths."
The History of Herodotus, chapter 2
Herodotus also wrote that no reversal of sunrise occurs during the sothis cycle. This may indicate that the sun rose in the west and set in the east the year of the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC at the end of the 1460 year sothis cycle.
God can move the sun back at the half an orbit point and at the full orbit point of a reverse orbit. Moving the sun at any other time during a reverse orbit is very complicated.
Thus, "no reversal of sunrise occurs" during a reverse orbit.
The end of the Egyptian Sothis cycle would be 180 AD, 1460 years from 1281 BC, and not 148 AD. The end of the Sothis cycle was symbolised by the Phoenix on coins minted. The Sothis cycle really ended 1460 years in 180 AD. The 49 year jubile and the 50 year jubile from 1241 BC and the Egyptian sothis cycle coincided in 180 AD. Perhaps the date of this coin with the phoenix at the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle is actually this 180 AD. Perhaps there was a sun miracle in 180 AD. From Jesus' birth in 7 BC to 180 AD is 187 years. Methuselah lived 187 years.
The 49 year jubile was in 180 AD.
The Jewish jubile 50 year cycle and 49 year cycle coincide with 179 BC and 180 BC: 29 AD + 50 + 50 + 50 = 179 AD. 33 AD + 49 + 49 + 49 = 180 AD. From the Exodus to Jesus' crucifixion 1281 BC - 33 AD = 1313 years = 13 X 101. From Abraham's birth in 2607 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC is 1313 years + 13. From Abraham's birth in 2607 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC = 2607 - 7 = 2600; 2600 / 13 = 200.
The end of the previous Sothis cycle was in 1281 BC = The Exodus in Egypt and the death of the Pharaoh Merneptah, according to Wikipedia Merneptah died May 2, 1203 BC:
Exodus 12:41 "And 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."
"the end of" is the end of 1456 years from 2737 = 1281 BC. The 430th year from 2737 BC was when Israel entered Egypt in 2307 BC. The Sojourn was from year 430 to year 1456 = the Exodus, Friday, the full moon, the first Passover, March 30, 1281 BC.
Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
From wikipedia Merneptah, the date of his death was May 2, 1203 BC taken from the German book:
2007-09-29. Jürgen von Beckerath, Chronologie des Pharaonischen Ägypten, Mainz, (1997), pp.190
The date of Merneptah's death is stated as 1205 BC. Thus, 76 years back is the Exodus and death of Pharaoh in the spring of 1281 BC.
Because a whole month is out in counting the end of the sothis, this May 2, 1203 BC, should be April 2, 1281 BC. 1205 BC 76 years back is this 1281 BC and the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea a few days later, about April 2, 1281 BC.
Both the date should be April 2, 1205 BC corrected by 76 years, to April 2, 1281 BC and corrected by 30 days, from May 2 to April 2.
Pharaoh's birthday was always counted on April 1. New years in year 430 sothis, such as on the Sojourn of Jacob into Egypt, was always April 1.
Jesus was crucified on April 3, 33 AD and rose from the dead Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. Likewise the Sojourn in Egypt was 1026 years. 2 X 513 years. Methuselah lived to year 969 = 800 + 13 X 13.
Exodus 3:18 "And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God."
Or 51 X 19 years. Lunar cycles repeat every 19 years. Adam from Armenian sothis 5368 BC at year 800 = Armenian sothis 4568 BC - 969 years of Methuselah = 3599 BC = 300 years from Armenian sothis 3907 BC or 600 years from the Egyptian sothis 4197 BC. This 3599 BC being another year 600 beside the year 600 Armenian sothis 3307 BC of Noah's flood. If Methuselah was born 3599 BC, then Lamech would be born 3494 BC when Methuselah was 105 years old, to live 182 years to 3312 BC = year 595 Armenian sothis.
Just as Lamech died in 3312 BC, there are 49 year jubiles from Joseph's first year as governor of Egypt in 2315 BC to 12 BC; 5 more years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 47 X 49 = 2303 years. From 2310 BC, at the sixth or seventh year of plenty in Egypt, 2310 BC - 2303 years = 7 BC, Jesus' birth. Likewise 49 X 49 = 2401 years. From 2369 BC, when Jacob was 69, 2401 years = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Or year 600 Methusaleh died, could be assumed year 600 of Noah's flood. Most likely Methusaleh died in year 969 from Adam = 3599 BC, and Noah's flood most likely was 3307 BC pointing to Jesus' birth 3300 years later. The pattern given to Noah especially points to the fact the ark rested on the 17th day of the 7th month and was a type of Jesus' birth the 17th lunar day of the seventh month.
Or, Methusaleh be the same generation as Lamech. Lamech died in sothis year 595, and lived 182. That is 182 years before the Armenian sothis in 3907 BC; 182 + 595 = 777 years. Year 595 was 3312 BC. Then, likewise Methuselah lived 187 years. That is five more years than Lamech, 182 + 5 = 187; 3312 BC + 5 = 3307 BC. Thus, Methusaleh may have died in the flood.
Likewise, Methuselah from Adam in year 800, 4568 BC, 969 years to 3599 BC less the differenc between the Armenian sothis calendar and the Egyptian sothis calendar of 291 years = 3307 BC. From the Egyptian 4198 BC to the Armenian 3907 BC are 291 years. Again, Methuselah may have died in the flood in 3307 BC.
Jesus lived to 38 and a half years. This is 2 X 19 year cycles. There are many sun miracles on years ending with 68 and year 7. Thus 38 + 38 + 23 = 100. Jesus would be 23 when Caiaphas became High Priest.
From 5368 BC in 40 X 49 year jubiles: 3408 BC = Noah 100 years to the flood 3307 BC = 3300 years to Jesus' birth. 49 jubiles further to a sun miracle and omen in 468 BC = "The people of Ts'e and Ch'ing attacked Wei." King Yuen of China died. 500 years after this 468 BC Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD. Thus, year one of the Bible = 5368 BC to year 800 = Adam's birth 4568 BC; 49 year jubiles to 468 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice. All sun miracles point to Jesus.
Enoch born 300 Armenian sothis = 3607 BC, 57 years to Methuselah, 57 years to Lamech, 182 years of life to Armenian sothis year 595 = 3312 BC. Then Lamech be 50 when he had Noah about 3440 BC, so Noah be about 40 when he had Shem, who was 102 in 3305 BC when he left the ark.
"And in the twelfth jubilee, in the seventh week thereof [582-588 AM], he took to himself a wife.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.25
If this is year 300 of Enoch 3607 BC from 3907 BC, 588 years back = 4195 BC = the new Egyptian Sothis cycle, 1460 years to 2737 BC.
Not 12 jubiles, but 22 jubiles. 22 X 49 = 1078 years. 4668 BC - 1078 years = 3590 BC. From 3907 BC = year 317. If Enoch was born in year 300 from 3907 BC = 3607 BC; Enoch would be 17 when he married in 3590 BC.
The night Jesus was betrayed was Thursday, the 13th day of the lunar month, April 2, 33 AD.
The Egyptian calendar is 40 years more recent than published. Simply, the begin Sothis date was not 1320 BC, but 1281 BC = the end of the calendar and the Exodus. Thus, even the Egyptian Sothis calendar began again in 179 AD and not 140 AD.
Velikovsky writes: "But if one Great Year ended and another began in + 139, the event must have occurred in the lifetime of Claudius Ptolemy, actually in the mid-period of the prolific writing (+127 to +151) of this great astronomer of antiquity. Claudius Ptolemy was a resident of Alexandria. Nowhere in his writings is the event ever mentioned; neither did he display an awareness..Living in Alexandia and occupying himself with these matters, how could he be unaware of or silent about the advent of the Great New Year in Egypt in his lifetime?"
Ages in Chaos III: Peoples of the Sea. p.239
Thus, the end of the Egyptian Sothis cycle would be 28 years more recent than 151 AD, in 179 AD.
The Egyptian sothis cycle was counted from 1321 BC 1460 years to 139 AD. The real date of the Egyptian sothis cycle was from 1281 BC to 179 AD.
At the same time, the reigns of Pharaohs are 76 years further back. The 76 years plus the 40 years = 115 years = a full 30 day month in the Egyptian sothis calendar that matches solar eclipse dates perfectly = 6 X 19 = 115 years; 115 / 4 years back one day = 30 days and a perfect match of eclipse dates to the month. Yet the reigns of Pharaohs are pushed back 76 years. Thus, the date of the split of the catholic churches in 550 AD to mark the begin date of the Armenian sothis calendar should be pushed back the same 76 years of chronology as the Egyptian sothis calendar.
The date of the split of the catholic church must be 552 AD. But the end of the Armenian sothis calendar should be 474 AD.
More likely the adjustment to the Armenian Sothis calendar is 76 years further back than 115 years further forward, just as the Egyptian Sothis calendar is 76 years back. All the solar eclipse dates from Akhu En Aten are 76 years further back.
Because the Egyptian dates are 76 years further back, the Armenian dates may be also. Then simply 1281 BC + 1313 + 1313 = 3907 BC. 3907 BC + 32 years to Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD = 3939 years. Jesus lived 38 and a half years from September 12, 7 BC to April 3. 33 AD. Thus, the significance of 39 years that point to Jesus' perfect life. 2010 AD - 1460 - 1460 - 1460 - 1460 - 76 = 3907 BC. 3907 BC is 3900 years before Jesus' birth.
101 X 39 = 3939. 3907 + 32 = 3939. 101 X 13 = 1313. 1281 BC - 1313 = 33 AD.
Adam in year 800 Armenian Sothis = 3907 BC - 1460 + 800 = 4568 BC. 4600 years before Jesus' sacrifice.
The full moon, Friday, May 11, 4568 BC Julian = April 3, 33 AD in the tropical calendar. 4568 / 128 years = 36 days shift in the Julian calendar to the tropical calendar equinox. 10 + 26 = 36. 30 of April - 26 = 4th or 3rd day of April = April 3, 33 AD. Thus, Adam was born a type of the redemption of Jesus.
Half an orbit after May 11, 4568 BC is 186 days, November 23, 4568 BC. Adam lived from year 800 to year 930 Armenian Sothis. 800 / 4 = 200. The first appearing of Sirius = Sothis, was July 16 in Egypt but July 23 in the Aral Sea. New years had backed up from July 23 in year 800 of Adam to January 4 and from July 23 in year 931 to December 3, 4437 BC.
Jesus lived 38 years and 203 days from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
New years in Adam's death in year 931 had backed up to to this November 25 in Egypt, and to December 3, in the Aral Sea in this 930 years. 930 / 4 = 233 days back from the first appearing of Sirius at 4:15 AM July 16 in Egypt - or July 21 in Armenia, about this Egyptian sothis new year, November 25, 4438 BC.
Thus, God knew Adam would sin before Adam was born. That the provision for sin would be in his son's sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, Adam's birth if in 4568 BC was a prophecy of Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD.
The seven day week must have already been in existence for the full moon = 14th day of the moon, 14th day of the month, = Friday, May 11, 4568 BC = the year Adam was born in year 800 Armenian Sothis. Thus, Adam lived 130 years from year 800 to year 930. Jacob lived 130 years to the Sojourn into Egypt 2307 BC. This, is much the same as we say this is year 2016 today. Thus, both the seven day week has been kept from creation, and the beginning of our calendar, the year of our Lord, AD = Anno Domini, has been counted from the birth of Christ.
Only, most dates count from Armenian Sothis year 700, 4668 BC; meaning Adam may have lived to 230 years, to year 930.
If year 800 was 4568 BC, then year 1 should be 5367 BC. Example 800 years back from 3768 BC May 14 is the full moon 4568 BC. Thus, September 24 the full moon 4567 BC 800 years back is the full moon September 20, 5367 BC, = 13th day of Hebrew month + 4 days = the 17th day of the seventh month = Saturday, September 24, 5367 BC.
Then both 800 years after 5368 BC = 4568 BC, and 800 years after 4568 BC = 3768 BC. From Adam in year 700 4668 BC 800 years later is 3868 BC = 39 years after the new Armenian Sothis in 3907 BC = the 38 and a half years of Jesus' life from 7 BC to his sacrifice, in even 100's from 3868 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
Year one, 5367 BC = 5399 years before Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. Thus, the earliest Bible date points to Jesus' sacrifice. The earliest Egyptian date 1460 years back from 4198 BC is 5658 BC. The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, dates from 5358 BC 300 years back from 5668 BC. If back 10 more years from 5658 BC = 3 days back, 3 days X 4 years = 12 years, it would be 5668 BC = 5700 years before Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD.
"And in the first week of the first jubile, Adam and his wife Eve were in the garden of Eden for seven years, tilling and keeping it.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.20.
From the 49 year jubile on 5358 BC is 14 X 49 years to 4672 BC = 700 years from the Armenian sothis cycle in 5372 BC. The calendar backed up one day every four years = no leap year on February 29. Thus, 5372 BC = 5368 BC.
Adam and Eve at their fall in Eden in their 7th year according to the Book of Jubilees from the first jubile. From 5358 BC are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice. Adam in year 700 from 5372 BC = 4672 BC = the 49 year jubile.
The seventh year from the jubile should be 4661 BC. 700 years from the jubile in 5358 BC is 4658 BC = about the same 4660 BC.
The fall equinox would be the new moon November 3, 5367 BC. Then the 17th lunar Hebrew day would be November 22, 5367 BC. In Adam's 930th year 930 / 4 = 232 days, back from July 16 = new years November 26, 4438 BC = the same November 22, 5367 BC = 17th day from the fall equinox = 17th day of the lunar month.
Then this 5367 BC = 5360 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Luke 1:59 "And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father."
John 7:22 "Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man."
7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Jesus must have been born Saturday, September 12, 7 BC = 10 days before the fall equinox September 22, 7 BC. Saturday, September 19, 7 BC is just a few days before the autumn equinox September 22, 7 BC. Then likewise, October 22, 5367 BC = the beginning of the Armenian Sothis calender = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; and be 10 days before the fall equinox November 3, 5367 BC and be the 17th lunar day. Likewise, Jesus be circumcised on the eighth day about the autumn equinox.
If year one Armenian Sothis is 3907 BC, year 600 of Noah's flood would be 3307 BC. The sun to move on day 10 of the second month, Noah to enter the ark one week later on day 17. The sun move day 10, Saturday, March 16, 3307 BC. The sun move back one half orbit later on the 17th day of the seventh month, Sunday, September 15, 3307 BC = September 13, 7 BC. Then the sun move the next day September 16, 3307 BC, and move back one full year later, Sunday, March 16, 3306 BC. Noah then leave the ark one week later, Saturday, March 22, 3306 BC.
"In the year six hundred of Noah's life, in the second month, on the first day of the week, on its seventeenth day, on that day all the springs of the great abyss were split and the sluices of the sky opened.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition Volume I, p.501. 4Q252.
Sunday = the first day of the week = March 24, 3307 BC was the 17th day of the Hebrew lunar month, March the second month from February; 150 days back from July 10.
Because the earth's nearest approach of the sun, perihelion, was about November 1, 3307 BC, then 90 days later was February 1, 3307 BC. 90 days after the perihelion = the day the sun may move 180° to the other side of earth and that half orbit from that day, February 10, 3307 BC, be the maximum of 187 days + two days to get from sabbath to sabbath. Thus, 150 days back from the Armenian sothis new year = the first appearing of Sirius just before dawn at 4:15 AM on July 23, 3307 BC, is Saturday, February 23, 3307 BC. Then half an orbit later is Saturday, August 17, 3307 BC Julian = the 17th day of the seventh lunar month. In our Gregorian calendar August 17, 3307 BC is about July 20, 1 AD.
Back 150 days from the first appearing of Sirius at the 40° latitude on July 23, 3307 BC is the 17th day Saturday, February 23, 3307 BC.
Sirius first appeared in Egypt at dawn Aswan at 24° latitude on July 11, at Cairo at 30° latitude on July 16, at the Aral Sea at 40° latitude on July 23.
The new moon, first appearing of the moon, was Wednesday, February 6, 3307 BC. Wednesday is the fourth day of the week. The sun and moon were created on the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"
Genesis 1:19 "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
The Essenes marked this fourth day, Wednesday, because the sun and earth were created on the fourth day.
"And he placed the sun as a great sign above the earth for the days, the sabbaths, the months, the feasts, the years, the weeks of years and the jubilees and for all the cycles of the years"
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, volume II, p.463
Thus the signs of sun miracles, the jubiles, the weeks of years, and the cycles of years = reverse orbit years.
The sothis new year July 11 Armenian, and July 16 Egyptian in the Julian calendar in years BC, are similar to our July 16 Gregorian in years AD.
The dimensions of Noah's ark are similar to the dimensions of the ark of the covenant. The pattern of dates, the flood in March = Jesus' sacrifice, the ground dried one year later and the rainbow = the resurrection, the ark rested the 17th day of the seventh month = Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
In this Julian calendar, September 15, 3307 BC was the same 17th day of the 7th month. Thus, the sun miracle not only on the 17th day of the lunar month, but on the 17th day of the static month of September in the Sothis Julian Calendar. The calendar had backed up 600 years = 600 / 4 = 150 days. 150 / 30 = 5 months. Month 7 + 5 months = one year 12 months.
The spring equinox was April 19, 3307 BC which also was the full moon. Thus, Noah's flood was a type of Jesus' sacrifice the full moon April 3, 33 AD.
The first Passover, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC was on the spring equinox. Thus, the Passover month was Abib = tender green, the month of new growth = Spring.
The new moon, April 4, 3307 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. It rained 40 days from February 23, 3307 BC to this April 3, 3307 BC. Two weeks later the full moon Friday, April 19, 3307 BC also = Jesus' sacrifice.
The tale of Gilgamesh tells of the constellation Aquarius being associated with the great flood. The sun would be in Aquarius in January 3300 BC, probably the first month in Genesis 7. If the sun moved to the other side of earth in the second month, Aquarius would appear overhead at midnight that month, the zodiac progressing in reverse.
Gilgamesh was a real king between 2800 BC and 2500 BC, about when Abraham was born in 2607 BC.
The sun may move seven days before Noah went into the ark and God closed the door on Saturday the 17th day of the second lunar month. Then the sun may move 186 days later, half an orbit later, the 17th lunar day of the seventh month. Then the adjustment from the Armenian Sothis Calendar, 3907 BC, to the Egyptian Sothis Calendar, 4198 BC, be 310 years.
Noah in year 600 best fits 3307 BC = 3300 years before Jesus' birth. Many Bible dates that point to Jesus work very well.
Genesis 5:21 "And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
The 365 years point to the 4 X 365 year sothis calendar. They had no February 29 leap year. The sothis calendar backed up one day every four years.
"Enoch after we had taught him..six jubilees of years.."
4Q227
Six jubiles of years = 300 years. From the begin date of the Armenian Sothis calendar, from 3907 BC to 3607 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Then 300 more years to Noah in year 600 = 3307 BC. God translated Enoch in year 365 = 3542 BC; 2300 years, 46 X 50 years, to the jubile in 1241 BC at the crossing of the Jordan. About the same time the 49 year jubile in 3545 BC.
From the death of Enoch in year 365 from 3907 BC = 3542 BC who was translated, to the death of Moses in 1242 BC are 2300 years - to the counting of the jubile in 49 in 1242 BC and the counting of 50 in 1241 BC.
Likewise from Jacob entering Egypt in the second year of famine, 2307 BC are 2300 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The 44th jubile from Adam, in 2368 BC when Jacob was 70 years old, must have been counted from what would be even hundreds of years from 4568 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. The sixth jubile probably when Enoch was born a type of Christ, would be even hundreds of years from the next start of the Armenian sothis cycle in 3907 BC = 300 years to 3607 BC, to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. Thus, the two jubiles pointing to Jesus' birth and sacrifice.
Then the year Enoch was married be the 65th year of his life = year 300 plus 65 years = year 365, the same year Methuselah was born, the same year Enoch walked with God. Then from 3907 BC - 365 years = 3542 BC = the 49 year jubile 3545 BC 3 more years. Then Methuselah lived 187 years to 3358 BC. 5 X 49 year jubiles to 3300 BC. From 3545 BC 3 X 49 = 3398 BC, 40 more years to 3358 BC like the 39 years of Jesus' life. The next jubile in 3349 BC, 9 years later, the one after = 3300 BC.
If the Armenian Sothis calendar to match the Egyptian Sothis calendar was both moved back 76 years: 2010 AD - 76 - 1460 - 1460 - 1460 - 1460 = 3907 BC. Then the begin Armenian Sothis year would be 3907 BC. Then this year 300 of Enoch would be 3607 BC. All foretelling Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 5:18 "And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:"
162 years back from year 300 Armenian Sothis: 3607 BC - 162 years = 3767 BC = 3700 years to Jesus' crucifixion. Also, 162 years forward of 3707 BC = 3545 BC = 3507 BC + 38 years of Jesus' life.
The Sothis new year was when Sirius first appeared before dawn. Sothis 365 from 3907 BC should be the full moon, April 18, 3543 BC, counting back from the Egyptian Sothis new year July 16. 365 days divided by four = 92 days back. However, counting back from the Armenian Sothis new years, July 10, 92 days back, the new years should be the full moon Sunday, April 7, 3542 BC.
Thus, Enoch was taken probably at new years on Sunday, at the time of year, and of month, of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. Thus, the translation of Enoch was a type of the resurrection of Christ.
Enoch at Sothis year 365 = 3542 BC, was 2300 years before Joshua's conquest of Palestine in 1241 BC.
The Egyptian Sothis Cycle of about 1460 years ended at the Exodus in 1281 BC. Back 1456 years the cycle began 2737 BC. Back 1458 years the cycle began 4196 BC. Forward 310 years = the Armenian begin of their sothis, 3907 BC.
From the beginning of the Egyptian Sothis Cycle in 4198 BC is 310 years to the beginning of the Armenian Sothis Cycle 3907 BC. 365 years of Enoch signifies the Sothis calendar that the calendar backs up 365 days in 4 X 365 years.
From 4202 BC are 1464 years = one extra day of four years, the calendar backs up one day every 4 years, 1460 years plus 4 years to 2737 BC.
From 62 weeks of years, from 402 BC, 434 years, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From 4202 BC to 402 BC = 3800 years = 38 X 100 years.
The Armenian calendar is meant. And year 300 Armenian be the birth of Enoch = 3607 BC. Thus, Enoch may have been translated on the equinox on new years = Jesus' resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Lamech lived 182 years. If Lamech was born on the Egyptian Sothis date 777 BC, 3421 BC, then died 182 years later, that would be 3239 BC. Then if Lamech died 192 years later and not 182 years later, Lamech would have died the year of Noah's flood also, 3230 BC. Then both Methuselah and Lamech could have died the year of Noah's flood if in 3230 BC.
There where two sothis calendars, the Armenian with a begin date 3907 BC and back 1460 years to 5367 BC. The Egyptian, with a start date 4198 BC back 1461 years from 2737 BC. If Lamech lived 111 years, not 182 years; the difference of 777 years and 595 years is 182 years. The difference may be from the two different calendars.
777 years back from Armenian sothis year 595 = 4089 BC = 182 years back from the begin Armenian sothis year 3907 BC.
182 years back from the sothis end of the Egyptian calendar 1456 years - like the 1456 years from 2737 BC to 1281 BC, 1456 years from 1281 BC = 176 AD = 182 years after Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
4089 BC is about 4091 BC that matches the 50 year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC 50 years to 1191 BC.
Thus, the 777 years. The number 666 is incomplete unless is added 111 = 777 years.
There are 49 year jubiles from this year 777, 4089 BC, to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD. Thus 777 points to Jesus.
Then Lamech be born year 777 Egyptian from 4200 BC = 3422 BC, and live 112 years, not 182 years, to die at 3311 BC = year 595 Armenian from 3907 BC.
777 years back from 3312 BC = 4089 BC; 49 year jubiles to 22 BC = 49 years to 29 AD and the beginning of Jesus' three and a half year ministry. 1150 BC is a year 49 from 4089 BC = the sun miracle in the 18th year of King Ching in China.
4089 BC should be year 1278 Armenian sothis from 5367 BC. The Exodus at the end of the Egyptian sothis calendar in 1281 BC is about the same distance back from Jesus' birth in 7 BC as 1278 years is forward from 5367 BC.
Also, from this 4089 BC the 49 year jubile at 168 BC marks the beginning of the three and a half years the Greeks desicrated the Temple with Apollo. From 1241 BC the 49 year jubile was 164 BC at Hanukkah when the temple was cleansed and dedicated. When the sun rose in the west to the meridian on China, like it did for Lu Yang in about 464 BC, or in 230 BC or in this 164 BC in emperor Wen's 17th year that made Wen begin again year one. That 164 BC matches 49 year jubiles from 2368 BC and 2467 BC = 2400 years and 2500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Perseus was the last king of Macedon, 179 BC to 168 BC. He was overthrown in 168 BC.
"On the last day of the eleventh month (2 January 178 BC) there was an eclipse of the sun. On the fifteenth day of the twelfth month (17 January 178 BC) there was again an eclipse of the sun."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II. p.162
The eclipse on the fifteenth day can be an eclipse of the moon, or darkness of the sun at noon in Israel on the full moon of the Passover. The record states it was the sun that was eclipsed in the 15th day of the lunar month not the naturally occurring lunar eclipse. The Hebrew calendar backs up one month every three years. Sometimes an inter calendary month was not added every three years. Thus, January 17, 178 BC may have been the Passover in Israel..
The solar eclipse January 2, 178 BC:
The lunar eclipse January 17, 178 BC:
The Hebrew calendar may move back two months from March to January. Julius Caeasar added two intercalary months of 33 days and 34 days to October 46 BC. He made the new moon January 1, 45 BC the beginning of the year..
Likewise, the Passover in 178 BC may have drifted back two months from March to January and the solar eclipse of January 17, 178 BC be darkness at noon on the Passover in Israel = darkness at sunset in China.
Phoenixes appeared in Huangdi's 20th year, on the new moon, January 26, 2636 BC = the beginning of the count of days of sixty and years of sixty in China. Thus, again a sun miracle in January.
178 BC was a seventh year of release, 14 more years to the 49 year jubile in 164 BC.
There were 2200 years from Adam in 4568 BC to Jacob at 70 in 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 2200 years from 2368 BC to 168 BC when the temple was taken over by the Greeks.
There were 39 years from 2367 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice, to Isaac's death in 2328 BC = the 39 years of Jesus' life.
Then, in 164 BC the Maccabees consecrated the temple at Hannukah = 4 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice and Jesus said he would rear up the temple in those three days.
However, Isaac lived 180 years. So there is no reason Lamech could not live 182 years and Methuselah live 187 years. A generation is often 70 years. So, if Lamech lived 182 years to 3312 BC, and was born when Methuselah was 70, then Methuselah would be born in 3564 BC. Then Enoch would live to Armenian sothis year 365 = 3542 BC. Then Enoch would be born in year 300 = 3607 BC, and Methuselah be born when Enoch was about 40 years old.
777 years back from 3312 BC = 4089 BC. The (xth) jubile, in the Dead Sea Scrolls, in 1241 BC when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan River could be from this 4090 BC. 4090 BC - 1241 BC = 1700 years. Adam may have lived from 4568 BC 130 years to 4438 BC, also from about this 4440 BC jubile year, 64 X 50 year jubiles to 1241 BC. Or Adam was born in year 700, 4668 BC and lived to year 930 = 230 years.
If Lamech lived 182 years to 3312 BC, Lamech may have been 68 when he had Noah. Noah may have been born 120 years before the flood in 3426 BC.
"In the year four hundred and eighty of Noah's life, Noah reached the end of them. And God said: My spirit will not reside in man for ever. Their days shall be fixed at one hundred and twenty years until the end of the waters of the flood."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, Volume I, p.501
Thus, the year 480 was the Armenian sothis year from 3907 BC.
Genesis 6:3 "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
Genesis 7:6 "And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth."
Thus 120 years from the 480th sothis year to the 600th sothis year.
777 years back from 3426 BC is 4203 BC = the Egyptian sothis cycle = 1466 years (1460 + 6 years) to the new cycle in 2737 BC. 120 years after 3426 BC is about 3307 BC.
Noah's flood works best for the date 3307 BC = 3300 years before Christ. From the Egyptian sothis date 4200 BC to the Armenian sothis date 3907 BC is about 300 years. From Enoch at year 300 = 3607 BC - Methuselah 90 when he had Lamech, Lamech 90 when he had Noah, 120 years to the flood = 3307 BC. Noah 20 when he had Shem. Shem was 100 when he left the ark after the flood = Shem born in 3407 BC 3400 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Shem is the root word for sun Shemesh. Thus, probably there was a sun miracle when Shem was born, a type of Christ.
Genesis 11:11 "And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
If Shem lived 50 years after he begat Arphaxad, Shem would die about the 49 year jubile about 3252 BC. King Uriah died in 752 BC also on a 49 year jubile.
The Egyptian sothis from 4198 BC to 2737 BC. 1460 years to 2737 BC. 500 years back from year 900 = 3302 BC = the flood in 3307 BC.
3907 BC - 600 years = 3307 BC. 120 years to 3307 BC from 3427 BC. 180 years back 3427 BC = 3607 BC = Enoch in year 300.
Methuselah at 187 and Lamech at 182 years, may also point to days between sun movements. From the spring equinox to the fall equinox = half an orbit, are 186 days. Likewise from the summer solstice to the winter solstice, half an orbit, are 182 days.
If Methuselah was born in 3607 BC = 3600 years before Jesus, then he would live 187 years to 3420 BC. 969 years back from 3420 BC = 4389 BC. 187 years forward from 4389 BC = 4202 BC = the Egyptian Sothis begin date. Thus, both ends of year 969 would have 187 years.
From 969 - 187 - 187 = 595. Methuselah's generation was 187 from 969, Lamech's was 182 from 777 = 595.
From Adam's birth in the Armenian Sothis year 800 = 4568 BC, 969 years to 3600 BC. The 969 years could point from Adam's birth to Methuselah's birth. Then Methuselah may have had Lamech in his 105th year in 3494 BC, and Lamech die at 182 years old in 3312 BC.
4198 BC Egyptian Sothis start date - 777 years = 3421 BC. Is about 120 years to Noah's flood in 3307 BC.
Counting generations back; Methuselah lived 187 years, died in year 969. If Methuselah was 70 when he had Lamech, he should be born 3564 BC and live to 3377 BC.
Noah's flood in year 600 means the calendar backed up 150 days from new years in July 11 to February 9.
"One hundred and fifty days did the waters hold sway over the earth, until the fourteenth day in the seventh month, the third day of the week. At the end of the one hundred and fifty days, the waters came down (during) two days, the fourth and the fifth day, and the sixth day the ark rested in the mountains of Hurarat, it was the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume I, p.503.
October 18, 3307 BC was the sixth day of the week and the 17th lunar day of the seventh month.
August 13, 3307 BC was both the third day of the week, Tuesday, and the 14th day of the lunar month = the full moon. Then the 17th day should be Friday, August 16, 3307 BC. 186 days back from August 16, 3307 BC = February 11, 3307 BC. 150 days back from the Armenian sothis new years July 11 is Saturday February 9, 3307 BC and is two weeks before the 17 lunar day Saturday, February 23, 3307 BC.
Jesus may have been born on Saturday, September 12, 7 BC, the 17th lunar day of the 7th month:
"the seventeenth day of the seventh month," the ark rested, also on Saturday, August 17, 3307 BC:
The 17th day, also Saturday, August 16, 32 AD:
The 21st day of the 7th month, September 15, 32 AD:
Right after the tenth day of the seventh month, the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, when the High Priest officiated the fast; five days later, September 15, 5 BC, was the full moon = the blood moon = the high priests slain, and lunar eclipse = also September 15:
Sirius would first appear before the sun at the Aral Sea at 4 AM in July 23, 3307 BC. In the 600 years, 600 / 4 = 150 days, 150 days earlier the new years is backed up is exactly to this February 23, 3307 BC.
The Botai domesticated the horse in 3500 BC just north of the Aral Sea where was most probably the flood of Noah. The ice age had just finished, thus there was a lot of water ice in the mountains above the Aral Sea. The Botai lived on a river bank that was destroyed by flood before 3100 BC, perhaps in this 3307 BC, in Kazakhstan.
The flood of the river that swept away the Botai people could have been in 3307 BC in the same Noah's flood. Even if the Botai were flooded and destroyed in 3100 BC, Noah could have preserved their domesticated horse in the ark in 3307 BC. With the destruction of the Botai, the only two surviving domestic horse may have been on board Noah's Ark.
Thus, the Iman-Burluk River would overflow during Noah's flood beside the Aral Basin.
"On the Aral Sea, graves rise above the dust. They’re reminders of the life its waters once sustained." You will see how flat the horizon is, and how impossible it was to out run Noah's flood.
Paratethys Sea that included the Aral Sea formed the largest lake 12 million years ago.
Psalm 147:16 "He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow."
The fourth millenium = 3307 BC = between 4000 BC and 3000 BC.
Genesis 7:20 "Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered."
The flood rose 15 cubits = 23 feet. In the vastness of the sea the mountains and hills would not be visible over the horizon. This sudden flood in the Aral Sea easily fits the geological record.
Genesis 2:10 "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."
Thus, the glaciers that suddenly melted into the Aral Sea, in the fourth millenium BC - 4000 BC to 3000 BC could be Noah's flood, 3307 BC. Both the melting glaciers and the rain flooded the Aral Sea. The rapid rise of water was very dangerous for the people living there at that time because the ground around the Aral Sea is flat for many miles.
The Caspian and Aral Sea were one sea. To the south of the Caspian Sea olive trees grew.
Genesis 8:11 "And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth."
Luke 17:26 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
Thus was very dangerous = destroyed them all.
2 Peter 3:5 "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:"
Thus, Noah must have lived near the Aral Sea. The Aral and Caspian Seas may have been one sea at that time.
Noah may have saved the domesticated horse that the Botai adopted by 3500 BC. Without Noah's ark in 3307 BC there would not be the domesticated horse. Where would we be now without the horse?
The calendar of the Bible in Noah's day must have been the Armenian sothis calendar starting again in 3907 BC, not the Egyptian sothis calendar starting again in 4197 BC.
The Bible switched to the Egyptian calendar by 2737 BC = Abraham's father Terah's death in year 205 = 2532 BC when Abraham was 75 = Abraham's birth October 18, 2607 BC on the 17th day of the seventh month = the autumn equinox = the ark rested on the 17th day of the seventh month = Jesus' birth on the 17th day of the 7th month September 12, 7 BC.
Noah's flood in year 600 would be from 3907 BC = 3307 BC.
Kazakhstan was the area of Noah's flood in the Aral and Caspian Sea basin in the fourth millenium = between 4000 BC and 3000 BC.
The first month of Noah's flood should be in February in both the Armenian and East Indian calendars.
Noah's flood was most likely in 3307 BC, 3300 years before Christ's birth in September 12, 7 BC = the ark rested the 17th day of the 7th month.
There may be a significance in 777 days. 777 days back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is February 15, 31 AD = the third day of Adar = when the second temple was finished in 504 BC = when there was a solar eclipse recorded in China for day 48 of cylcle 60 that was not the solar eclipse of February 16, 505 BC, but the sun miracle of February 10, 504 BC = the third day of Adar.
Armenian sothis year 777 = 4589 BC. The full moon was April 3, 4589 BC. The same tropical date as Jesus' sacrifice on the Passover the full moon, Friday, April 3, 33 AD was about the full moon, Friday May 2, 4589 BC.
The Julian calendar backs up one day every 128 years to the season, the equinox. From May 2, 4589 BC = 4589 / 128 = 35 days. Back 35 days from May 2, 4589 BC is March 30, 4589 BC = the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC, about the April 3, 33 AD of Jesus' sacrifice. The full moon = the Passover.
Thus, the year 777 was a type of Jesus' coming.
The Sojourn in Egypt was written from the 430th (Sothis) year to the end (of the Sothis calendar). Thus, from 2307 BC, the 430th year from 2737 BC, to the Exodus in 1281 BC the end of the 1460 (1456) year Sothis calendar. The Egyptian sothis calendar had no February 29 leap year. The new years day was July 16 when Sirius first appeared at 4:15 AM. Thus, Sirius would disappear for 70 days and reappear July 16. Every four years the calendar would back up one day. In four years new years would be July 15, four more years new years would be July 14. In 4 X 365 days = 1460 years, new years would back up to July 16 and the first appearing of Sirius at 4:15 AM.
The Sojourn would be written as Tav-Shin-Shin-Bet-Vav (400+300+300+20+6) = 1026 years. Thus, if the total years were thus written, only the year 400 may have survived and the remainder 26 years be assumed 30 years. The end of the Sothis calendar was supposed to be 1460 years. Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet = at the end, of the sothis calendar, at the end of the 400 years of slavery from 1681 BC to 1281 BC.
Thus, if the first year of the Sojourn into Egypt was 430 Sothis, the end of the Sothis calendar when the calendar had backed up 365 days, one whole year, from July 16 to July 16, actually back from July 16 to July 17 because Sirius rose first before dawn a day early = 4 years early, July 17 1282 BC = Sothis cycle 1456 years = Sojourn 1026 years, because the Egyptians did not have February 29 leap year would equal 4 X 365 = 1460 years. Thus, the Sojourn could be written in Hebrew 400 (300 + 300) 30. Thus, the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
The missing letters 300 + 300 leaving 400 + 30. See Judaism 101, Hebrew Alphabet. Thus, from the Sothis year 430 in 2307 BC to the end of the Sothis cycle is what was written. Yet the duration could be written in Hebrew 400 .. 30 as well. Thus, the confusion of the years 430: The captivity was 400 years, the last 400 years of the 1026 year Sojourn in Egypt.
Genesis 15:12 "And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."
Exodus 10:22 "And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:"
This "horror of great darkness" may equal three days = 3 X 24 hours. The sun must flow out of or into a reverse orbit. Then the darkness should equal an odd number, thus 7 X 12 hours; and Yao's long day, and emperor Kin's ten suns = 9 X 12 hours.
"The land was in great affliction. Evil fell on this earth...It was a great upheaval in the residence...Nobody left the palace during nine days, and during these nine days of upheaval there was such a tempest that neither the men nor the gods could see the faces of their next."
A black granite inscribed with hieroglyphics - the monolith of el-Arish, translation in Immanuel Velikovsky, Ages in Chaos I, From the Exodus to King Akhnaton, p.59
The three days of darkness may = 3 X 24 hours, or 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours, or 9 X 12 hours = 108 hours = 48 hours + 48 hours + 12 hours + 12 hours = two and a half years reverse orbit.
Or this nine days may be the nine days the sun stood still in China when Yao became emperor 2315 BC = darkness in Egypt, or the sun stood still ten days in China = darkness in Egypt in the eighth year of King Kin 1732 BC, or if this written in the second century BC may be the eight days of Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC = 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours; + 12 hours = 8 X 12 hours = the eight days night with one day of olive oil in the temple, of Hanukkah.
Genesis 8:13 "And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry."
The new moon on the first day of the first month should be the day, the time, there was darkness on Egypt for three days. Then, the moon would be with the sun and when the sun and moon were moved around the earth 3 X 360° with earth's rotation to stay on the other side of earth - Egypt - then the moon would not appear in Egypt either.
Exodus 40:2 "On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail."
Genesis 8:13 "And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry."
This could be just before the day of Atonement, but may be the first day of spring = both Genesis 8:13 and Exodus 40:2.
Luke 23:56 "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."
The sabbath day = the sabbaton = seven days = 7 X 12 hours.
The appearing of Sirius 4:15 AM July 19 should have ended the Sothis cycle in 1460 years from 1281 BC in 179 AD.
There was a coin struck in Alexandria in 138 AD in the reign of Antoninus Pius. EGYPT, Alexandria. Antoninus Pius. AD 138-161. BI Tetradrachm / PHOENIX .
Some had estimated the new sothis cycle should begin then. However, the Egyptians had lost track of time and this was an estimation. The actual 1460 years after 1281 BC would be 178 AD. 144 years after Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD is 177 AD.
The assumed date to begin the sothis cycle was 1321 BC. Then the assumed next sothis cycle 1460 years later was in 138 AD.
The end of the sothis cycle was at the exodus, March 30, 1281 BC = the end of the 430 years = from the Sojourn into Egypt sothis year 430 in 2307 BC from 2737 BC to the end, in year 1456 in 1281 BC.
There was a coin minted in Antioch with the Phoenix on the face, Constantius II AE3. 348-350 AD. Perhaps Phoenixes appeared in these years. Tacitus wrote the phoenix appeared in 33 AD in Egypt. Thus, there must have been a sun miracle at the time of Jesus' crucifixion. The Egyptian Bennu, phoenix, is called the lord of jubilees. Clement wrote about the Phoenix in 180 AD perhaps inspired by a sun miracle that year.

Nevertheless, the sun was said to have rose in the west and set in the east seven days before the great flood of Noah in year 600 of the sothis cycle.
The Aral Sea may be the site of the great flood of Noah. A great lake formed there briefly about 3500 BC. Armenian sothis year 600 = 3307 BC.
Aralkum - a man - made desert
If Terah's death in year sothis 205 was when Abraham was 75 in 2532 BC. Then the new sothis cycle 205 + 2532 = 2737 BC
Genesis 5:30 "And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died."
The Armenian calendar began about 5367 BC. Then 1460 years later was 3907 BC the next sothis cycle. The Egyptian sothis cycle began again in 4198 BC. This is a 300 year difference.
From the Egyptian sothis begin date 5657 BC to Jesus' birth are 113 X 50 jubiles. From Abraham's birth in 2607 BC are 13 X 4 X 50 years to Jesus' birth.
Jesus may have been crucified when he was 38 years six months. Double this is 77 years.
Adam was in year 700 in the Septuagint. Then two times the life time of Jesus of 38 and a half years equals the year 777 Armenian sothis.
The 777 years of Lamech may point to Jesus. Jacob was 77 years old when he had Reuben. Jacob was 70 years old in 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, when he began labour for Laban, to labour for Leah to be his wife. Isaac was 69 years old when he had Jacob.
Sirius was observed by 7000 BC in Armenia.
Ancient people may have understood earth rotates to produce day and night. Then when the sun rose in the west, stood still, and set in the east, to rise suddenly in the east; God had moved the sun at terrific speeds,
Also, Joshua may have expected the sun to rise in the west to set in the east in 12 hours. He may have understood after setting in the east the sun would suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east for a short day.
Joshua needed a long day to get the victory. Thus, Joshua's prayer to God for the sun to stand still before the enemy could get away.
"[99 BC] When C. Murius and L. Valerius were consuls, in Tarquinia, there fell in different places...a thing like a flaming torch, and it came suddenly from the sky. Toward sunset, a round object like a globe, or round circular shield took its path in the sky, from west to east."
"[90 BC] In the territory of Spoletium (65 Roman miles north of Rome, in Umbria) a globe of fire, of golden colour, fell to the earth, gyrating. It then seemed to increase in size, rose from the earth, and ascended into the sky, where it obscured the disc of the sun, with its brilliance. It revolved towards the eastern quadrant of the sky [Harold T. Wilkins, Flying Saucers on the Attack, pp.164-69]"
There is a long list of very bright objects, brighter than the sun, Mysteries of the Unexplained, p.207.
Then perhaps at times a bright angel, or even God, brighter than the sun, may appear to rise in the west at night. This may seem to suggest what was recorded was an angel and not the sun. However, the brilliant phoenix flew to the sun to move it when there was a sun miracle. Thus, this may be the sun ascending from the west to the east. Nevertheless, there is no turning back when we see the bright light of God.
Acts 26:13 "At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me."
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen."
Thus, the pattern = Jesus to be born the 17th day of the 7th month = September 12, 7 BC. Jesus must be conceived of the Holy Ghost nine months earlier = the first day of the tenth month in Genesis 8:5. Isaac must be born at the end of summer in the seventh month. Isaac to be conceived the 10th month, 9 months later is the 7th month. Jesus also to be conceived the 10th month to equal the pattern of Noah's flood.
Hebrews 8:5 "Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount."
Josephus Book 3:6:4 "And great was the surprise of those who viewed these curtains (of the tabernacle) at a distance, for they seemed not at all to differ from the colour of the sky."
Numbers 4:12 "And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar"
It is said the colour of the sky is not in the Bible. Yet the colour of the sanctuary according to Josephus was the colour of the sky, blue.
Nevertheless, the colour of the ram's skins should be red.
Exodus 26:14 "And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins."
This 17th day of the 7th month may be a picture of Jesus' birth, September 15, 3307 BC. Thus, Noah's flood may be a pattern of Jesus' birth.
If the earth stopped or reversed its rotation, the problems are immense. If you stop the earth from rotating, you must then start it rotating again. If the earth slowed in its rotation one minute in a 24 hour period, the oceans at the equator would drop 800 feet. If the earth stopped rotating, dry land would ring the equator. If the earth stopped rotating for 24 hours there would be 24 hours of missing time. If the sun revolved around the earth 360° there would again be 24 hours of missing time. If the sun moved halfway around the earth in a series of 4 sun miracles there would be no net missing time. No evidence left.
The word for - So the sun stood still in the "midst" of heaven - is literally half, "from the half of heaven". Of the 126 times it is used in the Bible, 108 times it is translated as "half" and 8 times as "midst". If you are counting on the stars of heaven as your guide, the only way the sun can stand still from the half of heaven is if the sun revolved around the earth to the other half of heaven. If the sun moved 180° on that next night Israel would see stars from the other half of heaven.
If the sun moved not 360° but 180° the seasons would change.
Picture a globe of the earth. Move the sun to the other side, and summer is winter or winter is summer. Move the sun to the other side of earth on the equinox and the sun does not need to move up or down and the seasons continue. In the reverse orbit the seasons do not reverse but continue.
The seasons would not change if God moved the sun up or down after moving the sun 180°. Even the plane of the new reverse orbit would match the path the sun normally appears to pass through, the zodiac that we are all familiar with.
Earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun without a trace.
A globe of the earth must shift on its axis = rotate the globe on a flat surface, or the sun must move up or down as well as moving the 180° to keep earth in the same season, unless on the vernal or autumn equinox.
Very likely the sun was moved up or down after moving the 180° and the orbits of the planets tilted also with the sun, and no pole shift was necessary.
Although the sun would have to move up or down to keep earth in the same season, it is the sun moving 180° to where it would normally be in the zodiak in six months. So, although the sun must move up or down, really even this tilt is not a tilt of orbit because the path of the zodiac, the path the sun appears to pass through during the year, is still the same.
It is necessary earth's orbit tilt and not the earth tilt to keep earth in the same season.
Simply, the sun must move to the path of the zodiac, the same zodiac as normal, only the season would be different than the normal season for that constellation. That is the sun would be six months, 180° away the day of the sun miracle. And the zodiac, the constellation the sun is in, progress in reverse in earth's reverse orbit.
Yet, the seasons continue the same as normal with no change.
If the sun moved 180° from Capricornus to Gemini, the sun must move up to Gemini, yet the height of the sun on earth would appear as if it was in Capricornus. Therefore, the sun must move six signs to the exact sixth zodiac sign and earth would keep in the same season.
The path of the zodiac would be the same only halfway removed and moving in reverse. Therefore, earth would not see any more or less stars, only a summer sky in winter. The earth would not need to shift on its axis to keep in the same season. This works so perfectly and exactly I am surprised no one has discovered the perfectness of earth in a reverse orbit.
If the sun moved 180° to rise suddenly in the east in the morning of February 17, 1241 BC on Jericho, or if the sun stood still at noon at the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, the sun must move down to keep the same inclination to earth. Then earth would keep in the same season. The sun may simply keep its inclination to earth as it travelled around earth. Perhaps the sun moved along the exact same zodiac path, only in reverse. We can be sure the sun's inclination to earth was kept. Orbital Variations and Insolation Database (search and read up on it under "orbital variations" or "insolation database") show the seasons and the sun's intensity did not change.
This model leaves no evidence. If the sun moved up or down after moving 180° to keep earth in the same season, there would be no affect on the earth.
Likewise, half an orbit later, the sun should rise in the west at midnight to the noon position and stay at the noon position for 24 hours on Joshua's long day, then the sun proceed to set in the east. Then a few hours later the sun rise suddenly in the east just as the sun had suddenly rose in the east on Jericho, and earth flow back into the reverse orbit of the sun. Then, half an orbit later the sun stand still at noon for 12 hours at the battle of Merom = one year before king Wan's dream, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun without a trace.
2 Kings 20:9 "And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?"
"shall the shadow go forward ten degrees?" = the sun suddenly rising in the east and setting in the west in this 703 BC for Hezekiah. Not ten degrees, but ten hours, in the sun dial.
This is a little different than the sun moving 180° four times. Yes, the sun must move to the other side of the earth, and earth flow into, then half an orbit later - out of, then into and then one year later, out of the reverse orbit of the sun. The sun rise suddenly in the east = negative 12 hours, the sun rise in the west to set in the east = positive 36 hours, the sun stand still in the sky for 24 hours = positive 24 hours, the sun rise suddenly in the east = negative 12 hours, the sun return one year later = positive 12 hours = 48 hours long days = the 48 hours sped up reverse orbit = no net missing time.
There may have been a sudden sunrise on a Sunday like there may have been a sudden sunrise on Jesus' resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. That is, after Jesus was crucified, on Saturday, April 4, 33 AD, the sun may have risen in the west and set in the east, and after dark, the sun rise suddenly and brilliantly in the east on Jesus' resurrection. Thus, there should be patterns of sunrises on Sundays, such as there were for Hezekiah, when the sun rose in the west and set in the east on Saturday, March 30, 703 BC, and rise suddenly in the east on the Passover and full moon, Sunday, March 31, 703 BC.
Earth must orbit the same distance from the sun in the same elliptical orbit it would have. Earth must be let to rotate exactly as it would have. Thus, earth's orbit must have been carefully managed to leave no biological trace.
The following record was not a record of a solar eclipse:
"From yi-mao (day 52) to early next morning there was fog, then three flames ate the sun, big stars were seen."
Heji 11506
This record is not of an eclipse though, and may be a sun miracle.
A total solar eclipse passed through Yin March 4, 1250 BC on day 53 not day 52. The total solar eclipse June 5, 1302 BC, was the following day, Day 53 not day 52. March 3, 1307 BC was the new moon and day 53 of cycle 60 in China. Possibly there was a sun miracle to begin what was to be the Passover month in a year ending 07, so be even 100's to Jesus' birth. Thus, a sun miracle in 1307 BC would be 1300 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. March 3, 1307 BC could match the month and year of the birth of John the Baptist six months before Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC.
Jesus may have been born day 51 of cycle 60 on September 12, 7 BC. Perhaps there was a sun miracle on day 51/52 of cycle 60 around 1300 BC to point to Jesus' birth.
The sabbath Jesus was in the grave may have been three days long, even dark perhaps for 7 X 12 hours = 3 X 24 hours. March 13, 1252 BC was day 52 of cycle 60, March 12, 1252 BC was the full moon = Passover; the next day, day 52 of cycle, March 13, 1252 BC would equal the day after the Passover = the sabbath Jesus was in the grave the day after the Passover. Then, this three days ate the sun that the Chinese described as the sun was so long in rising they hungered.
The 12th year of Wending was 1239 BC = the first year of king Wan. Then Wending's first yeat at the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC. Then counting as the Chinese do the current year, February 5, 1239 BC would be the 12th year of Wending, and September 23, 1205 BC be the 35th year of king Wan.
The full 35th year for king Wan, from his first year in Wending's 12th year, probably from February 5, 1239 BC, to the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC.
From king Wan's first year, February 5, 1239 BC to king Wan's 35th year, September 23, 1205 BC. Therefore, a the 12th year from the solar eclipse in China, March 4, 1250 BC to king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC. The 35 year was counted the 35th year from February 5, 1239 BC to king Wan's 35th year September 23, 1205 BC.
Wuding: "In his 50th year...in his 9th year, he died."
The Chinese Classics, the Annals of the Bamboo Books. p.136.
This nine years at the end of Wuding's life seem to be added and are not necessary.
All the Chinese chronology works if emperor Wuding died in his 50th year, not his 59th year. The words: "in his 9th year" appear out of context.
Likewise seven years continue to Wending - the same 9 or 7 years that were added to Wuding.
Thus Wending reign from the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC and king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC in his 12th year - counting the current year as is the practice of China. Wending's death in his 15th year be 1236 BC.
Te-yih reigned 9 years from 1236 BC to 1226 BC.
Likewise Te-sin reigned from 1226 BC 52 years to the Conquest of emperor Wu in 1174 BC; and not from 1221 BC.
Wuding would begin his reign in 1393 BC year 44 of cycle.
However, Wuding only reigned 50 years not 59 years. Thus, the following dates are 9 years too recent:
Tsoo- kang in 1334 BC 43d of cycle.
Tsoo- Keah in 1323 54th of cycle.
Fung-sin in 1290 BC 27th of cycle.
Kang-ting in 1286 BC 31st of cycle.
Woo-yih in 1278 BC 39th of cycle.
Wanting in 1243 BC 14th of cycle.
Now the correction of nine years: Wuding 50 year reign from 1393 BC year 44 of cycle 60 is correct. But Wuding's 50th year was his last year in 1343 BC not 1334 BC:
Tsoo-kang in 1343 BC.
Tsoo-Keah in 1332 BC.
Fung-sin in 1299 BC.
Kang-ting in 1295 BC.
Woo-yih in 1284 BC.
Wanting 1250 BC.
Woo-yih may have begun his reign from June 15, 1284 BC when there was a total eclipse of the sun in China.
Likewise, Wanting (Wending) may have begun is reign when there was a total eclipse in China, March 4, 1250 BC.
The the total solar eclipses were taken by the Chinese as omens for a new emperor.
Thus, Wuding began his reign correctly on year 44 of cycle 60. Then 9 years were added to Wuding, and the following king's reigns fudged by 9 years.
The correction to King Wending's reign should be seven years not nine years. Then the total solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC may have been the omen the Chinese chose him for emperor. Then the phoenixes in emperor Wending's 12th year equal the phoenixes in king Wan's dream, in king Wan's first year, be February 5, 1239 BC.
The purpose for divining for day 52 should be Jesus would be born September 12, 7 BC on day 52 of cycle 60.
Also, the fulfillment of the jubile on Yom Kippur, when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 in Nazareth to begin his ministry, should be on September 9, 29 AD = day 52 of cycle 60 in China.
Nevertheless, if not a sun miracle, then this may be a record of a solar eclipse.
Wending's first year must be 1252 BC. Often there was a new emperor in China when there was a sun miracle.
A good book on the period of 1250 BC in the Middle East is: 1177 BC, The year civilization collapsed, a telling story of famine, earthquake, invasions of the Sea Peoples, cutting off of trade routes these civilizations depended on. So severe it took centuries to recover. From the Exodus to Joshua's entry into the Promised Land, nowhere was there food or safety in the Middle East.
The missing 76 years has to be after Pharaoh Sheshenq. Sheshenq fought Israel in Rehoboam's fifth year = 1000 BC, not 925 BC. Thus, Merneptah died in 1281 BC not 1205 BC = the same 76 years. Thus, the missing reigns of Pharaohs of 76 years must be after Pharaoh Sheshenq.
The date 1177 BC actually equals 1253 BC because Egyptian dates must be corrected 76 years further back. There was a great earthquake about that time at Pylos. Earthquakes are often connected to sun miracles in China, such as in 230 BC when the sun rose in the west to the meridian. Often the earth shook in a sun miracle.
Claude Schaeffer, "the original excavator of Ugarit, thought an earthquake caused the final destruction of the city." "Current thinking puts the date of this earthquake at 1250 BC."
Famine is recorded in the Middle East in this 1260 BC. Thus, there was famine all around the Israelites during the forty years in the wilderness.
"The year was 1177 BC. It was the eighth year of Pharaoh Ramses III's reign" the Sea Peoples came. Thus, 1177 BC is 1252 BC.
Thus, Egypt collapsed after the ten plagues of the Exodus in 1281 BC, and further collapsed after this battle with the Sea Peoples 28 years later.
Thus, there were no competing world powers in Egypt or Babylon by the time of Joshua's conquest and Joshua's long day.
Wending's 12th year was king Wan's dream, king Wan's first year February 5, 1239 BC.
The total solar eclipse in China March 4, 1250 BC could be the omen for Wending to become emperor. His 12th year February 5, 1239 BC.
"At the time period from the night of the seventh day jisi (day 6) there was (a) big new star that was seen beside Huo Antares."
Heji 11503b
"a question to the ancestors about making offerings to the "Great Star" and to the "Fire Star"..hsin could mean either "new" or "sacrifice"
Historical Supernovae. p.20.
Antares is 680 times the diameter of the sun.
King Wan's dream was on the night of the seventh day, on day 24 of cycle 60, on lunar day six.
Two days later on an oracle bone from the same time, it was observed the star had dimmed. Thus, probably this was a record of a super nova.
"On the hsin-wei day the new star dwindled (or disappeared)
Science and Civilization in China, Astronomy. p.424.
From Xueshun Liu:
"As for the inscription that appears in the picture below, you cited two translations. The first one has translated the first four characters as "On the 7th day of the month, a chi-szu day (last quarter moon)..." The second one translates those characters as "At the time period from the night of the seventh day jisi (day 6) ..." It appears that the second translation is correct because of two reasons. First, there is no character yue, 'month' among those four characters. If there is no yue, how could one be sure it was the seventh day of the month? The phrase "seventh day" only means day jisi was the seventh day from whichever day they started counting. Second, if jisi indeed is the seventh day of the month, it should be the first quarter of the month. That's the principle of Chinese lunar calendar.
Therefore, the translation "the 7th day of the month (last quarter moon)" is wrong. Without more information from the inscription, it is not possible to determine to which quarter of the moon day jisi belong.
Now, let's turn to eclipses. First, "Three flames ate (time word) the sun, and a great star was seen" in your email quoted below and "The first record of a solar prominence has been found in a tortoise shell inscription, which describes "three suddenly bursting fires eating a chunk of the sun", which appears on the web site http://www.china.org.cn/e-gudai/6.htm cited in your email yesterday, refer to the same inscription. It is not considered a record of solar eclipse by experts in early Chinese astronomy and early Chinese history.
When I was a Ph.D student in China and in UBC, my advisors include scholars at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which is the most prestigious academic institution in China, Prof. Keightley at UC Berkeley, Prof. Takashima at UBC, and Prof. Pankenier at Lehigh University. I also have friends at Chinese Academy of Sciences. All these scholars do not think that inscription is a record of eclipse."
Most likely, this oracle bone description of three flames eating the sun was a sun miracle and not a solar eclipse.
The day jisi or chia may be the first quater moon like king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC or the last quarter moon like Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
Nevertheless, the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC may have been the omen the Chinese took to make Wending the new emperor.
In Yao's 42nd year (2274 BC - the 49 year jubile was in 2271 BC) a brilliant star appeared in Yih (Crater). So if this was a sun miracle, like the sun being darkened, bright stars may appear.
Here you can see the sky at the solar eclipse. The great star may be Venus, Jupiter, or Vega, or even Mercury.
Here you can see the solar eclipse path. In a total solar eclipse the stars may come out for a few minutes, especially bright stars.
There are two lunar eclipse records "After seven days, day 56 to day 57; the moon was eclipsed." "After 6 days, on the night of day 55, the moon was eclipsed."
Then counting seven days later was the lunar eclipse, on day 56 of cycle 60, near the time of the Exodus.
Even this sixth day may be king Wan's dream, the planets in Scorpius by Antares, the sun in Virgo, then both move 180° to Pisces. Only king Wan's dream was day 24 of cycle 60, February 5, 1239 BC
The important date is the six day moon in Fang/Scorpius of the first month of spring = the sun in Virgo = earth on the other side of the sun in spring.
March 3, 1307 BC, the new moon, was on day 53 of cycle 60, and in the time of the making oracle bones to divine. If this was a sun miracle, the time of the new moon would work best because the moon is not mentioned. 1307 BC was 1300 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus, this record may not be a solar eclipse, but, as above, may describe a sun miracle. The sun not rising, and so being hungry they did not eat till the sun rose after three days, whereupon they sacrificed. This could be a sun miracle like the three days of darkness in Egypt. The sun 180° from noon Israel would stand at or before the dawning position of the sun in the east in China.
Possibly the three days of darkness Exodus 10:21 was the new moon either February 14, 1281 BC = day 53 of cycle 60, or more likely the new moon March 15, 1281 BC. Pharaoh hardened his heart because there was respite, more time.
This could be a month and a half from the new moon February 14, 1281 BC, or a half a month from the new moon March 15, 1281 BC, to the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Exodus 10:27 "But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go."
March 15, 1281 BC could be the ninth plague of darkness two weeks before the Passover. But would not be day 53 of cycle 60.
Job 9:7 "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
1307 BC is 26 years before the Exodus in 1281 BC. Thus, 101 X 13 = 1313 years. 1281 BC + 33 AD Jesus' crucifixion = 1313 years. 1307 BC is 2 X 13 years further back.
Luke 2:41 "Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast."
Thus, the 13 or 12 years of Jesus' life may be the point of the symbol of years 13 in sun miracles. Jesus lived 38 and a half years. 13 + 13 + 12.5 = 38.5 years.
My grandfather believed we live seven year ages. Then 5 X 7 = 35. Jesus would be turning 35 in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, when he spoke from Isaiah 61 to fulfill the 50th year jubile. Then three and a half years of Jesus' ministry to April 3, 33 AD. Then Jesus be taken up to Heaven the new moon, the 40th day, Saturday, May 16, 33 AD.
If this was a sun miracle on the Passover X100 years before Jesus' crucifixion, this could be a sun miracle on the full moon in 1268 BC, = 1300 years before Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD, There is no year zero. February 5, 1268 BC was the full moon on day 52 of cycle 60. Thus, a sun miracle may have been what was recorded and not a solar eclipse.
Wu Yi became emperor, not in 1158 BC, but 120 years further back and again 9 or 7 years further back from the extra 9 years added to Wooting. Wu Yi then became emperor possibly on 1287 BC or 1285 BC. This 1287 BC or 1285 BC is about the fifth year of Merneptah. Southern Israel had revolted and Merneptah had victory over them as described in the Merneptah Stele. Possibly there was a sun miracle at that time. Wu Yih moved his capitol in his third year, possibly the year before, or the year of the Exodus in 1281 BC. He again moved his capitol in his 15th year, possibly in 1273 BC or 1271 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur.
Thus, this oracle bone record may not be of a naturally occurring eclipse, but of a sun miracle. When Jesus was crucified there was darkness recorded for three hours. A solar eclipse only lasts 7 minutes at most. Thus, either the sun was moved around the earth at or very near the speed of light - time stopped on the sun and no sunlight. Or, the sun was covered shadowing the earth. Thus, a similar sun miracle to the one at Jesus' crucifixion may have taken place 1300 years earlier, in 1268 BC to point to Jesus.
Divined on day wuxu [35]: "The shape of hui (comet) has changed; perhaps the darkness will go away. (Verification:) It was a clear day." [Heji, 32915]
If the three days of darkness was just before the Passover and the Exodus, then it may have been day 35 of cycle 60, Wednesday, March 28, 1281 BC. Thus, the Israelites chose a lamb the 10th day, Sunday, March 25, 1281 BC and kept it in their houses to the 14th day, March 30, 1281 BC when they sacrificed the lamb for the Passover. There may have been a sun miracle six months earlier on what would be Yom Kippur the tenth day of the seventh month September 30, 1282 BC. Or the sun moved to the other side of earth in the three days of darkness the new moon March 15, 1281 BC. 187 days from the first day of the first month is the 10th day of the seventh month.
There are a few other possibilities. The sun may move to the other side of earth and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, then March 28, 1281 BC, the sun move back and earth flow into the normal orbit of the sun.
However, the three days of darkness may have been on the new moon, March 15, 1281 BC.
The sun may move at the crossing of the Reed/Red Sea for a long night, about April 5, 1281 BC, and/or at the battle of Amalek for a long day, Exodus 17, in May 1281 BC.
Joshua 24:7 "And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season."
More likely the sun moved more than 3 X 360° = 7 X 180° = 3.5 X 360°, for three days of darkness to the other side of earth at the new moon March 15, 1281 BC. Thus, there would be no moonlight in the three days of darkness. Then the sun may have moved back 187 days later at the raising up of the tabernacle on the 10th day of the seventh month, September 20, 1281 BC.
Exodus 10:28 "And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
10:29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more."
Thus, day wuxu 35, March 26, 1281 BC, may be the three days of darkness and the four days the Israelites were to take a lamb into their dwellings where they had light.
If the Exodus was the Passover, the 14th day of the Hebrew month, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, then the Chinese new moon was March 13, 1281 BC, the Hebrew new moon was March 15, 1281 BC. The new moon February 14, 1281 BC was day 52 of cycle 60 in China. This was 45 days before the Exodus on March 30, 1281 BC. The sun may move about 180 days again. Then also, during a reverse orbit, perhaps the sun may move 90 days again and 45 days again. Thus, February 14, 1281 BC. March 30, 1281 BC, May 15, 1281 BC at the beginning of the third month just after the long sunset of Moses:
Or, from the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea about April 5, 1281 BC - perhaps when the sun suddenly rose in the east blinding the Egyptians; are 45 days to Pentecost Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC - perhaps when the sun stood still for 12 hours at sunset while Moses held up his hands. Pentecost is on lunar day five in this third month:
Pentecost on this Sunday May 20, 1281 BC was the beginning of Chinese summer, 45 days before the summer solstice. Thus, the day of Pentecost would often fall on the day of Chinese summer.
Pentecost must have been Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC, 50 days after the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Thus, Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC was the pattern for Pentecost also on a Sunday, May 24, 33 AD.
The Essenes kept a 364 day year so that the feast days always fell on the same day of the week. Jerusalem kept a lunar calendar so that the feast days fell on the same day of the lunar month, usually on a different day of the week. Nevertheless, Sunday May 20, 1281 BC and Sunday May 24, 33 AD fell on Pentecost on this lunar calendar.
Thus, Pentecost on a Sunday, and in a jubile year 49 from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, was a sign of the coming of Christ.
The 49 year jubile was kept 49 cycles from Isaac's 70th year in 2369 BC. That year was 44 jubliles from Adam in year 800 Armenian, 4568 BC, plus 44 years. From the beginning of the Armenian calendar in 5358 BC are 110 cycles of 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD.
50 year jubiles from the Armenian sothis beginning cycle 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Adam in year 700, 4668 BC, year 800, 4568 BC, and in many years X68 BC 50 year jubliles to even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Then also there were many 50 year jubiles from the Armenian cycle from 3907 BC, Noah's flood in 3307 BC, X07 BC even 100 years to Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC. Then, there were 50 year jubiles from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC - the 70 year captivity (591 BC to 521 BC) - from 521 BC 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry, probably Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
45 days back from April 4 is February 18 - the new moon February 15, 1281 BC. The three days darkness should be on the new moon, either February 15 or March 15, 1281 BC. Most probably the three days of darkness was the new moon March 15, 1281 BC and the Exodus 14 days later, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Exodus 19:1 "In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
19:2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount."
Exodus 19:4 "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself."
God may have moved the sun himself.
"Inquiry made on day ren-ji (49th day of cycle): Will the sun have zhi on day jia-yin." (51st day or two days later)
Heji 33703
The Chinese may have tried to predict the return of the sun about 180 days later, thus on about the same day of 60.
"The divination was on day jen-tzu [49]. There was a chih of the sun on day chia-yin [51]"
(Yi-ts'un, 384)
Likewise, the Chinese may have tried to predict the return of the sun about 180 days after the first sun miracle. This may have been February 13, 1281 BC. The sun may revolve around the earth seven times eastward if the sun blazed, chih, from the east westward 180° in the first three times, then on the fourth time the sun returned 180°, 3 + 4 = 7; 7 X 180°. The sun suddenly rising in the east like Phaethon. Thus, this model can explain the Chinese reckoning and no net missing time. Thus, eclipse paths were the same before and after the sun miracles as we would project them to be from today.
If the day 7 was a chia-tzu day, last quarter moon, this could be a sun miracle on the day the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea / Reed Sea, perhaps seven days after the Exodus. Thus, perhaps the reason earth was described as being upsidedown.html and the hours disordered after the plagues and devastation ending in the Exodus out of Egypt, because earth was in a reverse orbit.
Joshua's long day was on a last quarter moon = a chia-tzu day.
Miriam the sister of Moses may have died Saturday, February 4, 1242 BC on day 6 of cycle 60 on the new moon. Jesus was crucified Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Joshua's long day may have been one and a half years later, August 10, 1241 BC on the last quarter moon.
The tides rise and fall only two feet at the north end of the Red Sea because the pull of the Moon is only east - west. The Israelites crossed the Reed Sea, not the Red Sea anyway.
The date of Pharaoh Mernaptah's death is placed at about May 2, 1203 BC according to Wikipedia. If this German historian dated the sothis cycle to 1281 BC, then Merneptah's death, not in 1203 BC - Merneptah's death attributed to 1205 BC. The Egyptian sothis cycle should end in 1281 BC = 76 years further back = the Exodus and Pharaoh Mernetpah's death.
The sothis calendar would then back up 20 days, 20 X 4 = 80 years. Then the date of May 2, 1203 BC, III Shemu 5, would actually be May 20, 1281 BC. Sunday May 20, 1281 BC was the day of Pentecost. The date of Pharaoh Merneptah's death should be in the Red/Reed Sea - his dead body floating in the sea, about April 2, 1281 BC.
This would be written I Shemu 13 rather than II Shemu 13. Thus, Merneptah may have died one month earlier at the Red/Reed Sea during the unleavened bread in the week from the Passover, between Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and Saturday, April 7, 1281 BC; instead of May 2. Counting July 1 as the 30th day of the 4th month, May 2, may be the 5th day of the 3rd month. However, counting 3 months back from July 1 is April 1. Thus, Pharaoh Merneptah died not on May 2, but about April 2, 1281 BC. Thus, a correction to the Egyptian calendar date by one 30 day month back from May 2, 1281 BC.
The actual date is April/May 1205 BC that should be 76 years further back April/May 1281 BC. Then, the date May 2, in 1205 BC is about lunar day 19. April 3, 1205 BC is about lunar day 19. Apply this lunar date 19 to 1281 BC, April 3, 1281 BC is five days after the Exodus from the full moon on Hebrew lunar day 19 = about when Israel would reach the Reed Sea near to where the Suez Canal is now. The date May 2 using the Egyptian day of the month - the Egyptian lunar month started from the moon's last visibility, would be lunar day 21.
April 3, 1281 BC would also be Egyptian lunar day 21 equals the death of Pharaoh Merneptah and all of the Egyptian army at the Egyptian's attempt to cross the Reed/Red Sea.
Back from July 16 to April 2 is 105 days is the same Egyptian sothis date as the Sojourn into Egypt, April 1, 2307 BC in year 430 from 2737 BC; 430 / 4 = 107 days back from July 16 = the Exodus, March 30, 1281 BC. Thus, the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea about April 2, 1281 BC.
The difference is 40 years, the end of the sothis in 1281 BC and not 1321 BC. And 76 years back from Merneptah's death in 1205 BC to 1281 BC. This 40 years + 76 years adds up to 115 years. The sothis calendar backed up four years every day. So, May 2, 1205 BC for Merneptah's death should be 115/4 = 29 days further back. Then, Pharaoh Merneptah's death at the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea, should be April 3, 1281 BC. This equals the Exodus on the Pass Over Friday, March 30 = Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD and Jesus' resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Then from the night of Friday, March 30, 1281 BC are 4 days to get to the Reed/Red Sea.
Exodus 15:19 "For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea."
There was a partial solar eclipse seen in Egypt, Saturday, April 14, 1281 BC:
Numbers 33:7 "And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness."
Baalzephon = cold, or Sun = Lord and zephon = dark. Zephon like typhon = storm. Perhaps there was this partial solar eclipse at the crossing of the Reed Sea early in the morning as depicted. Then, the temperature would drop several degrees Celsius.
If the crossing of the Red Sea was later this would give the Israelites a month to march 350 miles to Aqaba from Ramesses. However, the crossing of the Red/Reed/ Sea must have been before the fifteenth of the second month. See Exodus 16:
However, the children of Israel kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days. Also, to get to the Reed Sea in the east should take about three days. Every Hebrew word is for Reed Sea, not Red Sea. Reeds only grow in fresh water, even the eastern most branch of the Nile River.
Exodus 16:1 "And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt."
This must be May 1, 1281 BC. May 2, 1203 BC was date of Pharaoh Merneptah's death given by a German Egyptologist. Merneptah died in 1281 BC shortly after the Exodus, probably in April. The Midrash states the Pharaoh was the only survivor.
Merneptah died in his 70's. He was old and may not have entered the Red/Reed Sea. Then Merneptah would have grown up with Moses, and Moses at 40 would have fled Pharaoh when Merneptah was in his 30's.
Exodus 15:19 "For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea."
Thus, Pharaoh must have entered the Red/Reed Sea with his horse. This poem of Miriam and Moses is most authentic.
Exodus 15:1 "Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
15:5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
15:7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
15:9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
15:12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15:15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
15:18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
15:19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
Deuteronomy 32:1 "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth."
God did give ear on Joshua's long day:
Joshua 10:12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."
Joshua commanded the sun and God heard, "and there was no day like it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man."
The Aleppo Codex has the correct pronounciation for the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32.
"The minute details of massoretic notation -- differ in tens of thousands." Note the difference in the dots and dashes for pronounciation of vowels below the constanents.
The Hebrew interlinear, possibly based on the Masoretic, or on the Aleppo Codex:
"O ye heavens" literally is "the suns"
The Aleppo Codex:
Deuteronomy 32:11 "As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
32:12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
33:13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
33:14 And with the choice yeild of the sun, and with the choice produce of the months."
God moved both the sun and the moon often, and on dates - in years BC ending in X68, X45, X31 and X07, and on lunar days - one, ten, fourteen, twenty-one (Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC was on lunar day 21); that pointed to Jesus' birth, ministry and sacrifice.
Joseph's seven years of plenty beginning with a sun miracle, perhaps a long day = the long day of Yao in China on the same day, the full moon and future Passover, April 1, 2315 BC.
Pharaoh Merneptah's body may have been recovered from the Red/Reed Sea. His body was not well preserved. Dr. Maurce Bucaille determined he died by drowning.
"The skull of the mummy of Merneptah is a hole made by a sharp instrument"
G. Elliot Smith: The Royal Mummies, p.62. James Harris and Kent Weeks, X-raying the Pharaohs, p.157.
His skull is said to have a hole in it, indicating he was killed, or assassinated. However, there also was a hole in the skull of King Tut, from hasty mummification.
Exodus 14:30 "Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore."
The Bible states Pharaoh's horse was drowned in the sea.
Exodus 15:19 "For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
The date May 2 may be mistakenly taken from 1203 BC or 1205 BC that should be 76 years further back in 1281 BC. This means how they got the date for 76 years too recent may mean Pharaoh Merneptah could have died a month earlier just as these dates of solar eclipses are also one month out.
Some have examined Merneptah's body, and at least one person, Dr. Maurce Bucaille, stated Merneptah died by drowning and in salt water. However, the embalming of mummies is done with salt, and the Pharaoh would have drowned in fresh water.
Thus, neither the date May 2 has to be true and neither the salt has to be from the Red Sea either, and neither does Merneptah have to have entered the Red/Reed Sea.
Although the horse of Pharaoh entered the sea implies Pharaoh entered the Reed Sea.
The children of Israel must travel at least three days to get to the Reed Sea = the most easterly fork of the Nile River. From Friday, March 30, 1281 BC three days is April 2, 1281 BC. More likely Pharaoh Merneptah died April 2, 1281 BC than on May 2. Egyptian months were 30 days. Thus, April 2, instead of May 2.
Again you can see the Egyptian 30 day months record eclipses on the same day of 30, but one whole month later. Likewise the date of May 2, 1203 BC for the death of Pharaoh Merneptah may be one month of 30 days out, and be April 2, 1281 BC. April 2, 1281 BC was on Monday. Likewise, Joshua took Lachish on the second day, on Monday, August 12, 1241 BC.
Exodus 14:5 "And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
14:6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:"
Thus, Pharaoh pursued the children of Israel that next day, Saturday March 31, 1281 BC, and may have caught up with them by the Reed Sea by about Monday, April 2, 1281 BC. Thus, Pharaoh Merneptah died about April 2, 1281 BC not May 2, 1205 BC = a 30 day month and 76 years earlier.
Pharaoh Akhenaten recorded these solar eclipses because his god was the sun.

If June 14, 1414 was Akhetaten's second year, he reigned just 8 years from 1415 BC to 1407 BC. There may have been a sun miracle as well ast the total solar eclipse in 1407 BC.
Back from Pharaoh Merneptah, died in 1281 BC, ten years, Ramses II 66 years, Seti I 11 years, Ramses I two years, Horemheb 14 years, Ay 6 years, Tutkankhuman 9 years, Neferneferuaton 2 years, Smenkhkare one year = 1402 BC. Pharaoh Akhenaten died in 1407 BC = a gap of about 5 years = five more years for Pharaoh Horemheb = 19 years, not 14 years for Pharaoh Horemheb.
The death of Pharaoh Merneptah, and the Exodus, in 1281 BC to the first year of King Tutkankhuman, not 1332 BC; but back 76 more years to 1407 BC = this last record of Akhet-Aten in 1407 BC = the first year of his son Tutkankhuman. Thus, there are no gaps in the Egyptian chronology to 1407 BC.
"Inspired Akhetaten to celebrate heb-sed at Karnak" in 1414 BC. The heb-sed was the jubile at the 30th year of the reign of Pharaoh. Few Pharaohs lived long enough to celebrate their first 30 years.
30 years back from 1414 BC is 1444 BC. Thus, Akhetaten should reign 20 more years than 10 years to his heb-sed jubile in 1414 BC.
A sun miracle in 1445 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect live in reverse to his birth in 7 BC; the pattern 38 years from 1445 BC to 1407 BC the sign to the Egyptians of a total eclipse and possibly a sun miracle also = about the death of Akhetaten.
Like the Chinese, the Egyptians may change Pharaohs and dynasties when there was a sun miracle.
Akhetaten was given 17 years of reign, counting 10 years to the jubile, heb-sed, in 1414 BC. The heb-sed jubile was counted from the 30th year of the reign of Pharaoh.
Working backwards Akhetaten's last year should be 1397 BC. There may be a ten year gap, Akhetaten's last year may be this 1407 BC. Akhetaten's first year may be 30 years further back from 1414 BC.
Akhetaten's 17 years should be 37 years, from 1444 BC to 1407 BC, like the 38 years lifetime of Jesus' perfect life.
Then, the chronology of the Pharaohs be 40 years further back at Akhetaten. Then the first year of Ahmose I to begin the 18th dynasy in Egypt be 1681 BC = 400 years of captivity to the Exodus in 1281 BC. The Sojourn into Egypt in sothis year 430 = 2307 BC.
Solar eclipses from 1414 BC to 1407 BC match the 30 day calendar, but only by ending the 1460 year calendar in 1281 BC instead of 1321 BC. Next Pharaoh Merneptah died in 1281 BC 76 years further back than this May 2, 1205 BC. 1321 BC 40 years to 1281 BC, 1205 BC 76 years to 1281 BC = 40 + 76 = 115 years; 115/4 = 30 days. The solar eclipses from 1414 BC to 1407 BC; four solar eclipses, one lunar eclipse, seen and recorded from Egypt match 30 days further ahead. Then the May 2, 1205 BC date may also be moved 30 days to April 2, 1281 BC.
The Egyptian calendar backed up one day every four years, in 365 days = 4 X 365 = 1460 years. But the first rising of Sirius before the sun at 4:15 AM continued to be July 16.
Merneptah reigned 10 years, Ramses II reigned 66 years supposedly from 1281 BC - 76 = 1205 BC = the death of Merneptah in 1281 BC.
May 2 in 1203 BC was the nine day moon. May 2 was the new moon in 1204 BC. Merneptah died in April/May 1281 BC. The crossing of the Reed/Red Sea may be on the new moon and solar eclipse in the morning of April 14, 1281 BC, but probably was about April 2, 1281 BC.
May 2, 1205 BC was the 18 day moon like April 2, 1281 BC was the 17 day moon.
The best guess is the crossing of the Reed Sea about April 5, 1281 BC at the end of the feast of unleavened bread of the Passover week, equals the tradition Moses crossed the Reed/Red Sea on the seventh day from the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1291 BC.
Or, the month of May 2 be one month out as are all these Egyptian dates. Then the Exodus be Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and the death of Pharaoh Merneptah = the crossing of the Reed Sea 30 days earlier, April 2, 1281 BC.
A lunar eclipse in "the first year of Mardokempad, Thoth [month 1] 29/30 in the Egyptian calendar [-720 March 19/20]. The eclipse began, it [the report] says well over an hour after moon rise and was total. Now since the sun was near to Pisces and [therefore] the night was about 12 equinoctial hours long, the beginning of the eclipse occurred clearly, 4 1/2 equinoctial hours before midnight."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, p.99.
Here you will see a match 76 years earlier, April 17, 797 BC, about the 4th year of King Uzziah in Judah.
76 years earlier, this lunar eclipse matches Thoth 29/30 in Egypt.
"The second eclipse is recorded as occurring in the second year of of Mardokempad, Thoth [month I] 18/19 in the Egyptian calendar [ -719 March 8/9]. The maximum obscuration was three digits from the south exactly at midnight. So since mid eclipse is exactly at midnight at Babylon.."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, p.100.
76 years earlier, this lunar eclipse matches Thoth I, month I March, compare 720 BC:
"The third eclipse is recorded as occurring in the (same) second year of Mardokempad, Phamenthoth [month VII] 15/16 in the Egyptian calendar [-719 September 1/2]. The eclipse began, it says, after moon rise, and the maximum obscuration was more than half [the disk] from the north...The beginning of the eclipse was about 5 equinoctial hours before midnight (since it began after moonrise)."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, p.100.
76 years earlier, this lunar eclipse matches Phamenoth, month VII September, compare 796 BC. You can see the full lunar eclipse is light over Babylon whereas above the moon light is shaded at Babylon, the lunar eclipse already begun. Thus, October 1, 796 BC is a better match.
"Ptolomy's rough inference that the eclipse began 'about 5 equinoctial hours before midnight' will be ignored since this is not based on measurement. However, the observation that commencement did not occur until after moonrise sets a limit for the value for delta T"
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, p.100.
Thus, clearly the October 1, 796 BC lunar eclipse is a better match and that the eclipse began 5 hours before midnight is not to be ignored.
A possible era was of "Shalmaneser IV (Neo-Assyrian cuneiform: Salmānu-ašarēd, meaning "Salmānu is foremost")[1] was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 783 BC to his death in 773 BC." The first year of this Mardokempad may be this 797 BC and the wrong Shalmaneser was assumed. In the era of Shalmaneser IV who died about 780 BC, instead of Shalmaneser V who died in 720 BC.
"Lost Assyrian camp uncovered: Could it prove the biblical siege of Jerusalem?" jpost
"in the 7th year of Kambyses, which is the 225th year from Nabonassar, Phamenoth [month VII] 17/18 in the Egyptian calendar [-522 July 16/17], I [equinoctial] hour before midnight at Babylon of 5/6 of an equinoctial hour [IV, 6], it is apparent that the time of mid-eclipse in Babylon was measured in equinoctial hours. The extant cuneiform record of this same eclipse seems to contain a predicted rather than observed details."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, p.101.
The lunar eclipse in the seventh year of Cambyses for July 17, 523 BC must be November 18, 510 BC:
Cambyses (Kambyses) reigned, not from 530 BC to his death in July of 523 BC, but from 517 BC to 510 BC, meaning this eclipse cannot work.
The 7th month, Phamenom, should be September/November not July, and be 13 years more recent in this November 18, 510 BC, the 18th day of the Egyptian month of Phamenom.
"..The second, which Hipparchus too used, occurred in the twentieth year of that Darius who succeeded Kambyses, Epiphi [month XI] 28/29 in the Egyptian calendar [-501 November 19/20], when 6 1/3 equinoctial hours of the night had passed; at this eclipse the Moon was again, obscured from the south 1/4 of its diameter. The middle of the eclipse was 2/5 of an equinoctial hour before midnight in Babylon (for the lenght of half the night was about 6 3/4 equinoctial hours on that date)"
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, p.101.
The lunar eclipse in the twenty-first year of Darius I for November 20, 502 BC must be 11 years more recent, on October 19, 491 BC:
The wrong date, November 20, 502 BC:
Here you see again the 13 year correction, Darius' 20th year, October 19, 491 BC; October 19 = November 20; Egyptian 30 day month. Much like we have 12 months of 30 or 31 days. Thus, one month different, the same day of the month.
Or, here you see a 14 year correction, Darius' 20th year, October 8, 490 BC:
"in the thirty-first year of Darius I, Tybi [month V] 3/4 in the Egyptian calendar [-490 April 25/26] at the middle of the sixth hour [of night]. It is reported that this eclipse of the moon was obscured two digits from the south.. for the time of mid-eclipse was 1/2 hour before midnight at Babylon, and hence 1 1/3 equinoctial hours before midnight at Alexandria.."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation. p.102.
The lunar eclipse in the thirty-first year of Darius I for April 25, 491 BC must be March 25, 480 BC, or March 14, 479 BC:
The wrong date the 31st year from 522 BC, April 26, 491 BC:
Here you see an 11 year correction, 11 years more recent, Darius I 31st year, March 25, 480 BC = the same day = April 26 = March 25, of the 30 day Egyptian month:
Or, here you see a 12 year correction, 12 years more recent, Darius I 31st year from 509 BC = March 14, 479 BC:
Or, here you see a 13 year correction, 13 years more recent, Darius I 31st year, August 28, 478 BC:
The 31 years, the 32nd year, of Darius from July 509 BC to October 478 BC; and the first year of his son Xerxes in 478 BC means Darius reigned 31 years by Ctesias, who served in the Persian court of Artexerxes Mnemon, 404 BC - 359 BC, and not 35 years by Herodotus.
China wrote down many eclipses on tortoise shells.
The Chinese often wrote astronomical inscriptions on tortoise shells, and divined by the cracks made by burning.
"Divined on day guiyou [10]: The sun was eclipsed in the evening; it will be favourable. Divined on day guiyou [10]: The sun or moon was eclipsed in the evening; it will be unfavourable."
Heji, 33694
"Divined on day guiyou [10]: The sun was eclipsed in the evening; we should report it to ancestor Shang Jia."
Heji, 33695
Day 10 of cycle 60 could be the full moon, a precursor to the Passover, March 20, 1307 BC or lunar day 17 of the 7th month = September 16, 1307 BC = Omen of Jesus' birth lunar day 17 of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC. Thus, 1307 BC be 1300 years, to the day, before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. God moving the sun may be recorded as a solar eclipse in China on an oracle bone.
Thus, the sun at noon in Israel is at sunset in China. Thus, the full moon darkened at sunset in China, or the sun darkened at sunset in China. The sun darkened when Jesus was on the cross at noon on the Passover in Israel = the sun darkened at sunset in China. Perhaps this was the same sun miracle at the precursor to the Passover March 20, 1307 BC.
Ramses' 50th year of reign would be this 1307 BC.
This solar eclipse of May 26, 1217 BC is supposed to be the earliest recorded solar eclipse. As you see above a solar eclipse was recorded on day 10 of cycle 60 as this May 26, 1217 BC is. However, as you can see the solar eclipse was barely if hardly visible in China. The record is of an evening solar eclipse. Evening solar eclipses are rarely visible. There is a possibility the solar eclipse was seen in China. Nevertheless, there are no missing days in the Chinese count of 60 before or after Joshua's long day. Thus, Joshua's long day could not be uncovered by the Chinese count of 60 days.
Moreover, this eclipse record on an oracle bone on a day 10 of cycle 60 gives no year. So the May 26, 1217 BC match is speculative. There are some solar eclipse records in Egypt before 1281 BC that match the correct time scale. There are no missing days there either. So uncovering Joshua's long day by this method does not work.
The direct evidence for Joshua's long day is king Wan's dream either February 15, 1240 BC or more likely, February 5, 1239 BC.
King Wan protested to emperor Xi that there were many eclipses at the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC. Thus, there may be some sun miracles then as well, such as on Jesus' birthday, the 17th day of the 7th month, September 19, 1207 BC.
The either half an orbit, six months after Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, in February 15, 1240 BC or one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, February 5, 1239 BC was king Wan's first year.
King Wan's first year should be February 5, 1239 BC because his 35th year he recorded a lunar eclipse on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC. The sun moved 180° back in king Wan's dream after a year of a reverse orbit. The sun may move back at the half orbit point and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. Thus, Joshua's long day at the half orbit point one and a half orbits earlier.
Perhaps the sun rose suddenly in the east in Judges 8:13 the next day and earth flowed back into, or out of, a reverse orbit, February 15, 1240 BC, or more likely, February 5, 1239 BC, when the sun moved back and the earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
China hardly could observe the solar eclipse, on day 10 of cycle 60, of May 26, 1217 BC. Then this solar eclipse record on an oracle bone on day 10 of cycle 60, if not a solar eclipse must be a record of a sun miracle.
The noon sun on the Passover in Israel be darkened as in the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross, a type of Christ's coming, would be a setting, evening sun, in China. Such as day 10 of cycle 60 March 19, 1204 BC.
This solar eclipse was not visible in any part of China in this solar eclipse map:
The solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC. The eclipse on day 53 of cycle 60 was total at the capitol of China. Thus, the claim the earliest solar eclipse record was May 26, 1217 BC after Joshua's long day is in error for this eclipse was not visible in China. Thus, the solar eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC is verified here, and predates Joshua's long day of August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
The oracle bone speaks of a long time waiting for the sun to rise, and thus they were hungary waiting. The oracle bone record may be of a sun miracle and not an eclipse.
Nevertheless, the eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC matches the first year, and an omen, for Wending to become emperor.
Likely, the crossing of the Reed Sea was between April 1 and April 5, 1281 BC. Moving the date of the end of the sothis cycle 40 years more recent from 1321 BC to 1281 BC could also move this May 2, 1205 BC date a month earlier to April 1, 1281 BC on day 38 of cycle 60 in China with Israel at the Bitter Lake by the Suez Canal on the third day. The May 2 date then being one complete Egyptian 30 day month out. The Egyptian dates are all one complete month out, such as August 8 really was September 7.
That is, five solar and lunar eclipses of Pharaoh Akhenaten between 1417 BC and 1407 BC, only a seven year gap, also backup the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
If counting back from the appearing of Sirius at 4 AM July 17; then 16 days + 3 X 30 - 5 = 102 days back = April 5, 1281 BC. Thus, the date of Pharaoh Merneptah's death could be at the crossing of the Red Sea/Reed Sea a few days after the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Thus, Pharaoh may have drowned in the Red Sea/Reed Sea.
Thus, the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea may have been at the end of the seven days of unleavened bread of the Passover.
The book: Chronologie des Pharaonischen Egypten, Mainz, (1997), pp.190, gives May 2, 1203 BC as the death of Pharaoh Merneptah.
In the traditional date of the new sothis cycle in 1321 BC and Merneptah's death in 1203 BC.
The sothis end was 1281 BC, 1456 years from 2737 BC, not 1321 BC.
Thus, from 1321 BC to 1205 BC = 116 years / 4 years a day = 30 days more back = a complete fit to the end of the Egyptian sothis in 1281 BC = a complete correction, and all the solar eclipse records in Pharaoh Aten Akhet match.
Pharaoh's death about April 2, 1281 BC appears to be the best estimation.
May 20, 1281 BC was the day of Pentecost, 50th day from the Passover March 31, 1281 BC. The 40th day of the Passover March 21, 1280 BC would be May 2, 1280 BC. Perhaps Merneptah died one year earlier, May 2, 1281 BC.
Leviticus 23:15 "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD."
Thus, also the pentecost after Jesus rose from the dead was also on the first day of the week, seven sabbaths unto the morrow = Sunday, May 25, 33 AD.
Acts 2:15 "For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;"
Acts 2:20 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:"
Thus, "from the morrow after the sabbath" = the third hour of the day of Sunday = 9 AM May 25, 33 AD. Pentecost was a 24 hour feast.
3.5 may equal 3 X 30 day months back. Then perhaps back 16 days from July 16 to June 30, then 3 X 30 days back to April 1, then 5 days ahead to April 5, 1281 BC when the children of Israel would have crossed the Red/Reed Sea and Pharaoh and his horse drown when the parted waters returned.
Then the May 2 date may be from the new sothis cycle in 1281 BC rather than 1320 BC. Then the Egyptian calendar would have backed up 19 days = 76 years divided by 4 = 19 days. Then back from new years July 16, 30 days to June 16, 30 days to May 16, back the 19 days to April 26 and forward the 5 days to May 2. Thus, May 2, 1203 BC is the wrong date for Pharaoh Merneptah's death and April 2, 1281 BC may be the right date for Pharaoh Merneptah's death.
The Egyptian Sothis cycle of 1460 years end was 1281 BC not 1320 BC. Thus, Merneptah's death in III Shemu 5 was not May 2, 1203 BC but May 20, 1281 BC. You can see the same 10 days = 40 years, in the middle of this pdf file, correcting the date of year 44 of Pharaoh Amasis.
Amassis' 24th year and death, not 526 BC, but 514 BC.
The invisibility of the shiny ones, when the moon disappears, September 19, 517 BC. The Egyptian month begins at the disappearing of the moon. The new moon September 22, 517 BC.
1st invisibility of the shiny ones, near the new moon = September 19, 517 BC = 1 Shemu 15.
Exodus 15:8 "And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floodsH5140 stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea."
"floods" H5140 usually refers to running water. Thus, the children of Israel may have crossed an eastern most fork of the Nile River.
Exodus 17:5 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go."
Psalm 66:6 "He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him."
Psalm 74:12 "For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
74:16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun."
This sea may be the eastern most fork of the Nile River by the Suez Canal, by the Bitter Lakes, the reed sea where reeds grow, rather than the Red Sea. Thus, the reference to the flood of the river.
This river may also refer to the crossing of the children of Israel, as it did to the plagues of the Egyptians. Thus, again the children of Israel may have crossed an eastern most fork of the Nile River.
Isaiah 11:15 "And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."
The crossing of the Nile River in Israel's return, like the Reed Sea = fresh water, is connected to Moses' parting of the sea. Moses must have parted the eastern most fork of the Nile = fresh water and not the Red Sea.
My father's mother's mtDNA was H1e = H1G1 from Morocco Jewish into Scotland. Ancestry may be from Egypt or Lybia from the return on this 500 BC.
Here also In Isaiah 11:15 the Nile river is dried up in order for the children of Israel to cross.
A search on crossing of the Red Sea evidence turns up many pages alleging the crossing of the children of Israel was in Aqaba with proof of many bones of horses and chariots. However, all of this is a spoof, and the claims are widely circulated fiction. See Snopes.
The Sothis cycle began again in 1281 BC not 1320 BC, a 40 year difference;
Year 44 of Amasis, the first date (II Shemu 13) is lunar and the second
(I Shemu 15) is civil and as the civil date fell on 21 September 558 BC
the lunar date fell on 9 (= 21 -12) September 558 BC.
which was a full moon day according to astronomy, not 1st invisibility "shining ones".
41 years later the 1st invisibility of the moon was on II Shemu 13
September 9 should move 10 days later in the month. 201 days - 191 days = 10 days.
40 years/4 = 10 days. If from IV Shemu 30 July 17, 1281 BC + 5 days.
= September 19, 517 BC which was the 1st disappearance of the moon
When Cambyses conquered Egypt. Thus, was 1st invisibility "shining ones".
Pharaoh Amasis died in the fourth year of Cambyses. Cambyses reigned not from 530 BC, but 13 years more recent, from 518 BC = the death of Cyrus. Then Amasis died in 515 BC.
The sun in Judges 8:13; "heres" = shining. The sun sevenfold and the moon as the sun = shining and a sun miracle.
Add from July 17 backwards:
1281 BC - 517 BC = 764, 764 /4 =191 days
5 + 17 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 28 + 29 = 201; 201 - 191 = 10 days.
January 2 = 191 days = IV Shemu 30
December 3 = III Shemu 30
November 3 = II Shemu 30
October 4 = 1 Shemu 30
September 4 = 1 Shemu 1
September 19 = 1 Shemu 15
October 17 = II Shemu 13
Thus, Pharaoh Merneptah must have died May 20, 1281 BC, or the fifth day from three months back of July 1 = April 5, 1205 BC, Or more likely April 2, 1281 BC = three days journey to the Reed Sea where Pharaoh and his army perished. This year of the Exodus be at the end of the 1460 year sothis cycle, rather than May 2, 1203 BC = a 30 day month back to April 2, 1281 BC.
Or, more likely the month was wrong, and Merneptah died not May 2 but April 2, 1281 BC.
Exodus 3:18 "And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God."
Three days from the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC is April 2, 1281 BC, about when the children of Israel would reach the Reed Sea to the east of Egypt.
Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC was also the day of Pentecost, the 50th day from Sunday, April 1, 1281 BC. The 50th day from Jesus' resurrection Sunday April 5, 33 AD was Sunday, May 24, 33 AD = the giving of the Holy Ghost in Pentecost. 50 days from Sunday, April 1, 1281 BC = Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC.
Thus, perhaps there was a sun miracle on the first day of the lunar month May 16, 1281 BC, 45 days after April 1, 1281 BC, in the third month when Moses' hands were held up when the sun was setting and Joshua fought Amalek and the Egyptians deposed and executed the Pharaoh Merneptah 5 days later because of the omen of a long sunset.
Exodus 17:12 "But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
The word for steady is H530 Emunah meaning firm, securly fixed in place, as well as moral fidelity, faith, stability, truly, verily. Thus, the Hebrew uses concrete meanings.
Here is a pictograph of a man with his hands held out:
God could have moved the sun 360° around the earth for a 24 hour longer day. The earth perhaps being in a reverse orbit would need to speed up that reverse orbit, of one year or half a year, 24 hours = no net missing time. 24 hours sped up time = 24 hours elapsed time.
God could have moved the sun 180° to stand still for 12 hours. Then earth would flow into or out of a reverse orbit.
The 50 days of Pentecost counts from the day after the Passover. The Passover on the 14th day, the sabbath on the 15th day:
Leviticus 23:5 "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
Thus, the first day is Sunday, after the 14th and 15th day of the Passover is a sabbath as well = the first day. Jesus' resurrection on this first day = also the first day of the week = Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. Thus there are 50 days from Sunday to Sunday, and not Saturday to Saturday.
I gave a talk on calendars The Time Keepers to the local astronomy group, ocrasc.ca, September 2016 at the Okanagan College. My point in all of it was the Egyptian Sothis Calendar began in 2737 BC, not 2777 BC.
Amasis Pharaoh of Egypt died in 517 BC when Cambyses of Persia conquered Egypt. This was the date I Shemu 15, September 19, 517 BC on the day "shining ones" on the last visibility of the moon. Then if Amasis died on I Shemu 15 this date may been doubly reinforced as I Shemu 15 from April 1, 1281 BC when the Egyptians drowned in the Reed/Red Sea.
Perhaps there was a long night of travel while the sun revolved around the earth Friday, March 30, 1281 BC while the pillar of light led them, could take the Israelites the 50 miles to the Reed Sea at today's Suez Canal by April 1, 1281 BC.
Or, the Exodus out of Egypt that Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, may not have involved sun miracles. It should take a three or five day, even seven day, journey to the Reed Sea. The Children of Israel may have crossed the Reed Sea on dry land, April 1, or April 2, or April 3, 1281 BC.
"(Preface:) On day gengzi [37]: (Charge:) we should perform an yi-sacrifice to the Bird Star (Niao xing). (Postface:) 7th month."
[Heji, 11500]
"(Preface):)Crack-making on day jihai [36], in the evening: (Charge:) on day geng [37], we should perform a bi-sacrifice to the [Northern] Dipper (dou); (Verification:) It rained continuously. Crack making on the evening of day gengzi [37]: we should perform a bi-sacrifice to the [Northern] Dipper (dou) on day xin [38]..."
Heji, 21350
The Chinese Yin Calendar began in September. Thus, the seventh month would be this day 38, Sunday, April 1, 1281 BC perhaps the time the Israelites crossed the Reed Sea = fresh water sea where reeds grow, (Red Sea).
Psalm 66:6 "He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him."
Thus, the eastern most fork of the Nile River was the flood the Israelites passed through, not the Red Sea.
God may have moved the sun to give the Israelites time to cross. Perhaps the sun rose in the west and set in the east Saturday, March 31, 1281 BC. Then after the children of Israel had crossed the Reed/Red Sea the sun may have suddenly and brilliantly rose in the east Sunday April 1, 1281 BC. Then there may have been the same pattern of sun miracles at the Exodus as at Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. The day Gengzi 37 was also celebrated on the new moon a day of brightness Sunday, April 17, 1170 BC, when the vassals confirmed the kingdom to emperor Wu.
Thus, perhaps the sun rose in the west after the Israelites crossed the Reed Sea on the third day from the Exodus April 2, 1281 BC. Jesus' resurrection was Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. Then the sun may have risen in the east suddenly and brightly as at Jesus' resurrection Sunday April 1, 1281 BC on day 38 of 60 Gengzi. Then this day Gengzi, day 37 of cycle,
Counting from Huangdi's 20th year from 2657 BC = 2637 BC, the 37th year of cycle 60, year gengzi, would be 1281 BC. Thus, the day gengzi the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, about the year gengzi also. Thus, counting from Moses leaving Egypt when he was almost forty in about 1320 BC are 39 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC. Thus, a year gengzi matching a day gengzi matching the Exodus, pointing to Jesus' 38.5 years of a perfect life.
From 1320 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry October 7, 29 AD. Thus, Moses is a type of Jesus.
Acts 7:23 "And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
Sunday, April 17, 1170 BC may have been a day when the sun rose suddenly and brightly in the east also and was taken as an omen to submit to emperor Wu who received the Mandate of Heaven that day. At the Exodus the Big Dipper, dou, would point straight up at midnight Saturday, March 31, 1281 BC perhaps when the sun rose in the west and set in the east. Then earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then the sun ascended suddenly in the east and the following night the Big Dipper pointed straight down in the north at midnight, which it never does in a normal orbit. 180 days earlier, half an orbit earlier, October 3, 1282 BC the sun may have moved to the other side of the earth, also on a day 37. Thus, day 37, gengzi, would become a superstitious day and thus the pattern of sun miracles at Jesus' crucifixion be repeated.
Sunday, April 17, 1170 BC was 1202 years to Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. Thus, about 1200 years later on the same day 37 of cycle may have been prophetic.
Likewise the year 451 BC from 1320 BC (The Egyptian Sothis ended 1281 BC not 1320 BC) does not equal the 14th year of Xerxes. Xerxes began his reign in 478 BC / 477 BC. His 14th year would be 464 BC.
There was a large earthquake at Sparta in 464 BC. The chronology should be ten years more recent. Thus, 464 BC may be 454 BC.
The date for the battle of Salamis should be September 27, 472 BC. This brings the whole chronology eight years more recent from 480 BC to 472 BC.
The sky darkened in the middle of the day in spring, could been a sun miracle at the Passover like there was when Jesus was on the cross April 3, 33 AD = darkness at noon for one or more hours. Thus, sudden darkness at sunset in China in 468 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice. China removed its emperor, King Yuen for King Ching-Ting in the spring of 468 BC or of 467 BC, possibly at the omen of a sun miracle.
"An annular eclipse of the Sun occurred at Sardis on February 17, 478 BC, while Xerxes was departing for his expedition against Greece, as Herodotus recorded." "Herodotus also reports that another solar eclipse was observed in Sparta during the next year, on August 1, 477 BC."
Neither dates work.
A sun miracle on the Passover, March 27, 472 BC, followed by a sun miracle half an orbit later, on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, September 27, 472 BC:
The sky suddenly darkened in the middle of the day, well after the battles of Thermopylae and Salamis, after the departure of Mardonius to Thessaly at the beginning of the spring of (corrected 472 BC) and his second attack on Athens, after the return of Cleombrotus to Sparta."

Esther 1:3 "In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
1:4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
1:5 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;"
Xerxes called his satraps to Susa to plan the invasion of Greece in his third year.
"In his first year, of King Yuen, which was ping-yin (3rd of cycle 60, 474 BC = Xerxes' 3rd year from 477 BC), the duke Ting of Tsin died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.166.
Susa was the winter residence of the King. Susa today is very hot in summer.
Esther is Amestris.
Then the 180 days would be counted from the fall to the spring = the 180 days of a fall/winter half orbit.
The third year of Xerxes should be from 477 BC = 475 BC; or from 478 BC = 476 BC.
In the Septuagint:
"In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great king, on the first day of the month Adar-Nisan (a leap year a second month of Adar was added), Mardoehaens the son of Jairus, the son of Semeias, the son of Cisaeus, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Jew dwelling in the city Susa, a great man, serving in the King's palace, saw a vision. Now he was of the captivity which Nebuchodonosor King of Babylon had carried captive from Jerusalem, with Jechonias the King of Judea.
And this was his dream: behold, voices, and a noise, thunders and earthquake, tumult upon the earth. And behold two great serpents came forth, both ready for conflict, and there came from them a great voice, and by their voice every nation was prepared for battle, even to fight against the nation of the just.
We cried to the Lord because of the sound of their crying, and there came from a small fountain, a great river. Light and the Sun rose, and the rivers rose and swallowed the honorable.
After Mordecai rose from sleeping, he thought about what the dream meant, and what the Lord was preparing to do. His dream was hidden in his heart, and at every opportunity he was trying to figure it out. Its interpretation made clear to him on the day when Mordecai rested in the courtyard of the King with Astaos, and Teresh, the two enuchs of the King. He over heard their words and their schemes as they were plotting to attack King Xerxes and kill him. After considering it, Mordecai reported them. The King interrogated the two eunuchs and found Mordecai's words were true, and when the eunuchs confessed they were led away.
King Xerxes inscribed these events, and Mordecai was written about in the records of the King, so these events would be rememberd."
"and this was his dream:
"There was noise and an uproar, thunder and earthquake, and trouble on the land. Two great dragons came out ready to fight, and from them came a great call, and by their call every nation was prepared for the battle to make war against the lawful people. A day of gloom and darkness, sorrow and sadness, injury and great trouble on the land. All the lawful people were troubled, fearing the other's evil, and they were prepared to be destroyed and shouted to God, and as if from a small fountain came many great rivers of waters. Light and the Sun rose, and the lowly were exalted and devoured the honourable."
Septuagint Esther. Vatanicus, Chapter 1. p.28.
"Mordecai said, "These things have come from God. For I remember the dream which I had."
"It was fulfilled, and he said, "The little fountain is Esther. The two dragons are myself and Haman. The river are those nations that combined to destroy the Juhadites. The sun and light are the revelation of God that appeared to the Juhadites. This is the judgement. God has worked these signs and wonders, as have not been done amongst the nations. Then he ordered two lots. One for the people of God, and one for all the other nations. These two lots approached the hours at the right time and day of the lordship of the everlasting one among all the nations. God remembered his people and vindicated his inheritance. All the people cried out in a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you, who remembers the covenants made with our fathers, Amen !"
"These days in the month Adar, in the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month, will be observed by them with a gathering and joy and gladness before God, from generation to generation forever among his people Israel."
The Septuagint, Esther, (the Alpha version)
The sun and light are the revelation of God..The right time and day = the exact time when the sun must return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, one year after the first day of the first month of Nissan = the 13th day of the second month of Adar.
"The Greek additions..the story takes on cosmic proportions."
The New Jerome Biblical Commentary. p.576.
"light and the Sun rose" May refer to a sun miracle to mark Nissan, the first day of the Passover month, and 187 days later Yom Kippur, and one year later, on this 13th day of the second month of Adar, when the sun may move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus it was properly cast lots for the sun to return one year after the first day of the first month, on the 13th day of the second month of Adar, on the same date one year later.
Thus on this 13th of Adar the Jewish people had light = a long day in which to slay their enemies = the sun rising in the west on China to the noon position on China = the noon sun on Shushan and Israel retreating to the dawn position = 12 more hours of daylight in which the Jews slew all their enemies.
Mardecai is Sumerian for Marduk = calf of the Sun. There are records of Mordecai/Marduk with Xerxes.
"The name Marduku is attested as the name of up to four Persian court officials in thirty texts." Wikipedia.
From the new moon in Nissan 187 days is the 10th day of Tishrei, of the seventh month = Yom Kippur.
Xerxes' second year should be 476 BC to 475 BC, his third year 475 BC to 474 BC.
From the new moon March 27, 476 BC 187 days to Yom Kippur, Friday, September 30 / Saturday, October 1, 476 BC. Seven more days to Saturday, October 8, 476 BC = the birth of Jesus in the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC 470 years later.
From the new moon March 16, 475 BC to Yom Kippur, September 19, 475 BC.
Xerxes King from the first day of Nissan = the Passover month = the third year from the Passover March 20, 474 BC.
Xerxes' 12th year was supposed to be 474 from 486 BC but is 8 years more recent in 467 BC = the first year of King ChingTing in China. Xerxes reigned from 478 BC not 486 BC.
In Xerxes' 12th year there was a leap year with a second month of Adar. A second month of Adar was added every three years to keep the lunar months in the calendar.
Then Xerxes' 12th year from 477 BC is 465 BC and the 13th of Adar, of Purim, would be a second month of Adar = the first day of Nissan one year later to the date = the 13th day of Adar.
Haman cast lot = purim, from Nissan one, to Adar thirteen, when the sun would return on the same date one year later.
The first day of Nissan may be February 26, 465 BC. There is a leap year in February 29, 465 BC. Then one year later is the second month of Adar, February 25, 464 BC/February 26, 464 BC.
Esther (Alpha) 3:13 "And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar (of Adar Nissan) and to take the spoil of them for a prey."
Haman was angry the assassination attempt on Xerxes was uncovered.
180 days from the new moon March 5, 474 BC = the new moon, Rosh Hashanah, Saturday, September 1, 474 BC, seven more days, the Sabbath, Yom Kippur, September 8, 474 BC.
"The first day of Nissan = the first lunar day in March..
The Passover on the full moon, Friday, March 30, 475 BC, is like the first Passover Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, and like the Passover when Jesus went to the cross, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
From 475 BC are 507 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Counting from the first day of Nissan:
Or counting from the full moon = Passover, March 1, 475 BC, 187 days to the seventh day, the Sabbath day, September 2, 475 BC.
Counting from the Passover, the 14th day of Nissan:
There may have been a sun miracle to begin the 187 days of feasting on the Passover.
The third year from 477 BC may count from the spring of 474 BC:
187 days from the Passover March 20, 474 BC to the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the seventh day, Saturday, September 22, 474 BC:
Counting from the 13th day of Nissan in the 12th year of Xerxes. 13 of Nissan is the day before the Passover the 14 of Nissan.
Fasting was not permitted on the Passover. Yet Esther asked for a fast of three days.
Counting from the 1st day of Nissan, one year later = 11 more lunar days = the lunar day backs up 11 days a year. From Nissan 2 one year later the same date is Adar 13.
Esther 3:12 "Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
3:13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey."
The "thirteenth day of the first month", of Nissan, is the day before the Passover, the fourteenth day of Nissan.
All the Jews in all of the kingdom would keep the Passover.
Half an orbit from the fall to the spring is 180 days. Half an orbit from the spring to the fall is 187 days.
There was a feast for seven more days after the 180 days.
Sun miracles may occur only on the half orbit point, the 180 day or 187 day. Thus, there may be a sun miracle to mark the beginning of the 180 day feast or the beginning of the 187 day feast and the ending of the 180 day feast or 187 day feast.
Esther 2:16 "So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign."
From Xerxes' first year October 477 BC or October 478 BC are the seventh year to the tenth month the battle of Salamis September 27, 472 BC are two more months to October / November 472 BC the tenth month.
The Olympiad in 472 BC was the year of the battle of Salamis.
Esther 2:18 "Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king."
"In his first year, which was kwei-yew (10th of cycle 60 = 467 BC, Yu-yueh removed his capital to Lang-ya."
Esther 8:5 "And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverseH7725 the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:"
God may have moved the sun to the other side of earth on the first day of Nissan when Haman cast lots for the right day that was one year later the 13th of Adar. Then, one year later on the same date, the 13th of second Adar, God may move the sun back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Thus the word ShoobH7725 may also mean to reverse earth's orbit.
The noon day sun on Shushan retreating to the dawn = the setting sun in China rising from the western sunset to the meridian for Lu Yang = the sun reversing in the sky = "to reverse" = the reversing of the letters of Haman.
H7725 שׁוּב shûb shoob A primitive root; to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbially again: - ([break, build, circumcise, dig, do anything, do evil, feed, lay down, lie down, lodge, make, rejoice, send, take, weep]) X again, (cause to) answer (+ again), X in any case (wise), X at all, averse, bring (again, back, home again), call [to mind], carry again (back), cease, X certainly, come again (back) X consider, + continually, convert, deliver (again), + deny, draw back, fetch home again, X fro, get [oneself] (back) again, X give (again), go again (back, home), [go] out, hinder, let, [see] more, X needs, be past, X pay, pervert, pull in again, put (again, up again), recall, recompense, recover, refresh, relieve, render (again), X repent, requite, rescue, restore, retrieve, (cause to, make to) return, reverse, reward, + say nay, send back, set again, slide back, still, X surely, take back (off), (cause to, make to) turn (again, self again, away, back, back again, backward, from, off), withdraw. Total KJV occurrences: 1058
From Lu Yang and the sun rising in the west to the meridian = the sun moved to the other side of earth = earth in a reverse orbit = "to reverse the letters."
For the sun to pass from the noon position to the eastern horizon in six hours while the earth rotated = 180° and twelve hours. 12 hours because the sun being moved 180° in six hours and the earth flow into or out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Esther 8:9 "Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language."
Purim of Esther, the 13th of Adar may be Sunday, February 26, 464 BC:
Here is the 23d of the month Sivan, the third month, Sunday, June 4, 464 BC. However, no sun miracle is needed on this third month.
The sun may have been moved a year earlier, the first day of the month Nissan, February 26, 465 BC:
And the sun be moved at the half orbit point on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, August 29, 465 BC:
There has to be two sun miracles one year appart. Thus, the sun rising in the west for Lu Yang in the 11th month may be the Purim of Esther, or the year before, or the year after, on the same date, be the Purim of Esther.
Thus, the fourth year of Yu-Yueh from the spring of 467 BC, and the 12th year of Xerxes from October of 477 BC, may be the same date, or be the sun returning the next year in this 11th month in China, this 12th month of Adar.
One year later:
The first day of Nissan, February 15, 464 BC = the 12th year of Xerxes from 476 BC.
The 13th day of second Adar, February 15, 463 BC = the fourth year of King Ching-ting from spring of 467 BC:
A sun miracle in 468 BC may have been an omen for the Chinese to choose a new emperor, King Ching-ting.
From 468 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD are 500 years. From 472 BC are 72 X 7 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Xerxes reigned to his 21st year. From either October 478 BC or October 477 BC. His 7th year either 472 BC or 471 BC.
472 BC was a 7th year of release with the 49 year jubile in 458 BC = 14 years later. Xerxes died in 458 BC. From the 49 year jubile in 507 BC - 35 years (5 X 7) = 472 BC.
Deuteronomy 15:1 "At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release."
From the construction rebegun on the foundation of the second temple in the second year of Darius I in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth possibly September 12, 7 BC.
1 Corinthians 3:11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Ezra 3:10 "And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel."
Ezra 4:24 "Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
The foundation was laid in 521 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' reading from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on the tenth day of the seventh month, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
From 507 BC to 472 BC are 35 years. Both 507 BC a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice and 472 BC 35 years later = 5 X 7 years, a seventh year of release. From Jesus' birth in possibly September 12, 7 BC to the beginning of his ministry on Yom Kippur either September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD when Jesus began to be 35 years old.
There may have been a sun miracle in 477 BC when Xerxes became King; there may have been sun miracles in 1677 BC and in 1177 BC in China = 1200 years and 700 years to 477 BC.
1177 BC was both the 48th year of emperor Te-sin and the appearing of the E-goat when the sun stood still for two days = this day of victory 20 years after the ark was taken in 1197 BC.
1 Samuel 7:2 "And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
7:4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
7:5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
7:6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
7:7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
7:8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
7:9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
7:11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar."
Thus, China may have chosen a new emperor a few years after the omen of sun miracles on 1681 BC and 1281 BC.
"In his, emperor Kwei, 29th year, the forces of Shang took Koo. Three suns appeared together."
29 years from not 1588 BC but from 120 years further back, from 1708 = 1680 BC.
In 1677 BC (60th of cycle 60 not 1557 BC but 120 years further back = 1677 BC) "In his 18th year he (T'ang began the Shang dynasty) came to the throne, he dwelt in Poh."
"In his, Woo-Yih, 3d year, the king removed from Yin to the north of the Ho."
Not from 1158 BC, but 120 years further back to 1278 BC, and 5 years further back to 1283 BC, 3d year = 1281 BC = the Exodus.
There may have been a sun miracle in Xerxes' third year 474 BC that the Chinese took as an omen to change emperors:
Esther 1:3 "In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
1:4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days."
180 days is half an orbit from the fall equinox to the spring equinox when the sun may move back.
"In his 44th year, the king (King King) died."
"In his (King Yuen) 1st year, which was ping-yin (3d of cycle, = B.C. 474 BC), the duke Ting of Tsin died."
The Chinese Classics, p.166.
When there was a sun miracle the Chinese took it as an omen to change emperors, as we see here. A fall to spring half orbit is 179 days. A half orbit from spring to fall is 186.5 days. The year matches exactly to 474 BC.
The next sun miracle appears about the 14th year of Xerxes, that is two years after Purim, the 13th day of the 12th month, probably Sunday, February 26, 464 BC.
Thus, his 14th year should be 465 BC. Thus, counting from the new sothis cycle from 1281 BC to 465 BC = 816 years. 816 / 4 = 204 days the calendar has backed up. 204 / 30 = 6.8 .8 X 30 = 24. This equals the 25th of Phamenoth 204 days back from July 16.
Thus, there could have been a sun miracle on the 13th of Adar in Esther on the Egyptian new year and full moon December 28, 465 BC.
The significance of this date in the 14th year of Xerxes not the 12th year, be the day of Purim. See harvardhouse.com, Biblical Dates.
Nevertheless, the date of Purim in Esther was most likely Friday, January 27, 464 BC the 12th year of Xerxes from October, 477 BC = the 12th month from October of 465 BC continuing into Janaury 27, 464. BC.
The next day, lunar day 14, Saturday, January 28, 464 BC was a sabbath day:
Esther 9:17 "On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness."
The seven year sabbath was this 465 BC:
Esther 10:3 "For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed."
February 20, 466 BC was Friday. This was a full moon and the 13th day of the lunar month of Adar = 12th month, and the 12th year of Xerxes.
From 504 BC to 466 BC are 38 years. The sun miracle February 10, 504 BC to the sun miracle February 20, 466 BC is 38 years. 38 year cycles may be like the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
From Joshua's long day in 1241 BC are 600 years to the birth of Hezekiah; his 38th year in 703 when the sun reversed ten hours from west to east. From 1241 BC are 700 years to 541 BC; about the fourth year of Cyrus, 38 years to 503 BC = 500 years to the death of Herod and Joseph and Mary bringing Jesus out of Egypt to Nazareth. From 504 BC are 38 years to 465 BC = 777 years from Joshua's long day = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
Esther 3:7 "In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar."
"In his (King Ching-Ting) 1st year, which was Kwei-yew (10th of cycle 60 = 467 BC), Yu-yueh removed its capital to Lang-ya"
The Chinese Classics, p.167
Xerxes' first year may be October 478 BC. Then, his 12th year be this 467 BC. The sun miracle for an omen for a new emperor in China may have been this 13th of Adar, Purim, in 467 BC.
The first day of the first month, Nissan one, may be January 30, 468 BC. The same date, Adar 13, the next year, would be January 31, 467 BC:
Or one month later, Nissan one, March 1, 468 BC.
2 Adar 13, March 1, 467 BC.
The sun may have moved January 30, 468 BC and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then the casting of lots, of purim, for when the sun must return, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun, the 13th of second Adar, January 31, 467 BC = the day the Jews had light = the omen for a new emperor in China.
Likewise, the sun may have moved on Nissan one, March 1, 468 BC and the sun moved back one year to the day, Adar 13 = one day before the full moon on Adar 14, March 1, 467 BC.
Esther 3:12 "Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month,
3:13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey."
The first day of Nissan one year later equals day 13 of the second month of Adar. If God moved the sun on the first day of Nissan, then he must move the sun back on the 13th day of the second month of Adar one year later to the day. Thus, to cast lot on what day the sun would move back.
The 13th day of the 12th month should be Saturday, February 26, 464 BC.
In Xerxes' 12th year, the first day of the first month, Nissan 1, Haman made the plot. Yu-Yueh's first year was 467 BC kwei-yew 10th of cycle from 2636 BC. Yu-Yueh's fourth year be 464 BC. Xerxes' first year be October 477 BC or October 478 BC, his 12th year, the 12th month, February 26, 464 BC = the 13th (the full moon) of Adar (Adar is the twelfth month, the second month added of Adar)
King Ching-Ting's first year was the spring of 467 BC.
The Jews had light and gladness in the 12h month of Adar = the 11th month from spring in China when Luh-ching succeeded Tan-ching - when the sun rose in the west and passed through three solar mansions. Luh-ching may be Lu-Yang.
Luh-ching's father died this 4th year, 11th month, perhaps in battle. Thus Luh-ching succeeded his father in battle. Then this Luh-ching be this Lu Yang = Lu Yang was a place, who motioned to the sun in the battle, and the sun rose in the west and the sun did not set for perhaps 12 hours.
Lu Yang waved his spear at the setting sun in the west, the full moon had not yet risen in the east. Then the sun rose in the west to pass to the meridian, the noon position, in China.
Yu-Yuen's first year 467 BC may have been because of a sun miracle on 468 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; that the Chinese took as an omen to assassinate their emperor Yuen. Likewise, this 464 BC was a seventh year, fallow year, and seven more years was a 49th year jubile, 70 weeks of years from Xerxes' 20th year - 458 BC to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. Also, 300 years from 464 BC to 164 BC and the sun miracle in China on Hanukkah.
300 yearts later, that likewise, 164 BC sun miracle = the sun rose in the west on China, a 49 year jubilee to Jesus' sacrifice as well. The work on the temple began one year earlier, in Darius I second year = 507 BC when reconstruction began again on the foundation = 500 years to Jesus' birth.
40 years earlier, Sunday February 9, 506 BC or Monday, February 10, 506 BC, was two years before the solar eclipse record for February 10, 504 BC that was not an eclipse, was lunar day 13 in this month of Adar when the sun may have moved to the other side of the earth, and two years later a sun miracle February 10, 504 BC and the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Thus, the date of the 13th of Adar may have been a pattern 40 years earlier.
Esther 3:7 "In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar."
Esther 8:12 "Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar."
The 13th of Adar is the same date one year after the 1st of Nissan. Adar = February. Nissan = March.
Ezra 6:19 "And the children of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month."
The Passover, the next month = the first month, in 504 BC, should be Sunday, March 20, 504 BC. The spring equinox in 504 BC was March 24, 504 / 128 = 4 more days recent.
Haggai 2:6 "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
2:7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts."
Hebrews 12:26 "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."
Thus, the sun miracle of darkness, the third of Adar, must be God moved the sun. And when God moved the sun there were often earthquakes.
Esther 8:5 "And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:"
Esther 9:1 "Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day day of the same, when the king's command and edict were about to be carried out, on the very day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, the reverse occurred: the Jews gained mastery over those who hated them."
"the reverse occurred" H2015 Haphak means to turn about. God may have moved the sun that day for a long day, and earth flowed into or out of a reverse orbit of the sun. Thus "the reverse occurred"
H2015 הָפַךְ hâphak haw-vak' A primitive root; to turn about or over; by implication to change, overturn, return, pervert: - X become, change, come, be converted, give, make [a bed], overthrow (-turn), perverse, retire, tumble, turn (again, aside, back, to the contrary, every way). Total KJV occurrences: 94
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour."
There was comet Halley recorded in the summer of 467 BC in Greece, 76 year orbits back from 12 BC. Moving the sun may cause asteroids to strike earth head on in earth's reverse orbit, that were recorded with the comet.
"BC 471 BC [China] "7th year of Duke Li of Qin. A broom star appeared."
[Shiji ' Liuguo nian biao] ch. 15
"BC 467 [China] "10th year of Duke Li of Qin, A broom star appeared"
[Shiji Qin Shihuang ben ji] ch.6; [Liuguo nian biao] ch. 15.
The seventh year of the Duke Li of Qin was 471 BC = the first year of Duke Li of Qin was 477 BC = the first year of Xerxes and possibly there was a sun miracle in 477 BC both cultures took as an omen for a new ruler.
The first year of Xerxes may be 478 BC, his seventh year 472 BC = the battle of Salamis, September 27, 472 BC = September 27, 480 BC; 472 BC like 480 BC was an Olympiad from 776 BC.
Thus, the comet record in Greece be this seventh year of emperor King Ching-ting in 460 BC and not 467 BC.
Thus, the Greek chronology is still out by seven years, and should be seven years more recent.
Back from 12 BC, here are the dates for the return of Halley's comet every 76 years: 88 BC, 164 BC, 240 BC, 316 BC, 392 BC, 468 BC, 544 BC, 620 BC, 696 BC, 772 BC, 848 BC, 924 BC, 1000 BC, 1076 BC, 1152 BC, 1228 BC, 1304 BC, 1380 BC..
There were records of Halley's comet in 12 BC, 164 BC, 240 BC, 467 BC. There were sun miracles recorded in China in 164 BC = the sun at noon retreated to the dawn = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and a new emperor in China, King Ching-Ting, in 467 BC = 500 years = 10 X 50 year jubiles, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Many Chinese emperors came to the throne at the time of the Passover = spring, in years ending in X68 BC and some in years X18 BC.
Halley's comet is on its return after 38 years in this 2023 AD. 2 X 38 years = 76 years. Jesus lived 38.5 years.
Lu Yang pointed his spear at the setting sun January 9, 465 BC, or February 26, 464 BC, like emperor Wu did the comet on January 1, 1174 BC. Both may be the appearing of Halley's comet.
Halley's comet appears every 75 to 79 years.
King Ching-Ting in 467 BC, King Ngan's 10th year in 391 BC, King King 543 BC, King K'ing 617 BC, King Chwang 695 BC, King P'ing 769 BC, King Le 852 BC, Te-sin 1226 BC, Fung-sin 1300 BC.
In 164 BC the sun rose in the west to the meridian in China, and again in 230 BC.
In 164 BC the appearing of the comet Halley was recorded in cuniform text in Babylon.
On May 25, 240 BC the Chinese make the first recorded observation of Halley's comet, Xerxes' 11th year in 467 BC = the first year of King Ching-ting of China. Cyrus became king of Persia in 546 BC. Manasseh was 12 years old in 688 BC and died in 645 BC = 100 years to Cyrus in 546 BC, in 1152 BC was King Ching' 18th year and phoenixes appeared.
467 BC was 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. China often selected a new emperor when there was a sun miracle.
"Chinese astronomers first described the comet in 240 BC, but in ancient Greece in 466-467 BC Greek authors described a meteor the size of a wagon that crashed into the Hellespont region of northern Greece during daylight hours, frightening the population and creating a tourist attraction that lasted five centuries. The ancient authors describe a comet in the sky at the time."
First sighting of Halley's comet pushed back two centuries, phys.org
Halley made its appearance every 76 years. 12 BC back, 164 BC was the year of Hanukkah and the jubile and the sun retreated to the meridian and the king of China began his regal year of 17 to become 1.
Halley's comet was to return in 164 BC and was recorded on a Cuneiform tablet.
When God moved the sun He may have altered the orbit of Halley's comet as the comet passed near the sun when God moved the sun. Then God may have restored Halley's orbit in 164 BC.
The comet was a bad omen. Some Chinese officials died the year of Halley's comet. "In his 9th year, duke Leeh of Tsin died (392 BC)" "The king (Yuen) died. (468 BC)" "In his 27th year (544 BC), he (the king Ling) died." "In his 31st year (620 BC), duke Seang of Tsin died." "In his 23rd year (696 BC), in the third month, on the day yih-wei, the king (Hwan) died." "In his (King Le) 3rd year (848 BC)..Shan the duke of Heen of Ts'ee died." "In his (King Ching) 18th year (1152 BC) Phoenixes made their appearance.."In his (King Te-sin) 9th year (from 1227 BC = 1219 BC) he died." "In his 12th year (1379 BC), he (Woo-ting) offered a sacrifice of thanks giving to Shang-keah Wei."
"Is ‘Shooting Star’ That Struck A New Jersey Home From Halley’s Comet?"
Back from Halley's appearance in China in 12 BC, in 76 year orbits, is this 1152 BC.
"Historically they were feared objects, often thought of as bad omens. The Bayeux Tapestry depicting the battle of Hastings (in 1066 AD), shows Comet Halley over the battle. The comet's appearance actually inspired the forces of William the Conquer prior to their invasion, the omen was the death of Harold II."
Falling Stars, A Guide to Meteors and Meteorites, p.4.
Emperor Ching's 18th year 1152 BC phoenixes, Halley 1152 BC, Te-sin began to reign from 1226 BC = Halley in 1228 BC; K'ea Kea from 1458 BC and Halley in 1456 BC; Yung-ke from 1606 BC and Halley from 1608 BC; (1607 BC was 1600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC) Seang from 2062 BC and Halley 2064 BC; emperor T''ae-k'ang from 2144 BC (about 2145 BC the 45 years) and Halley 2140 BC; Shun from 2220 BC and Halley 2216 BC; Jacob at 70 at Bethel (House of God) 2368 BC and Halley 2368 BC.
Esther 9:17 "On the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and on the fourteenth day of the same, they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness."
Thus, the 13th day and the 14th day be the sabbath, the seventh day of the week when they rested.
Again:
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour."
"The Jews had light" = the sun at noon descended to the eastern horizon, then rose again in the east for 12 more hours of day light = Lu Yang the sun setting in the west rose and passed through three solar mansions, 3 out of 12 is 90° = the sun setting in the west rose to the noon, the meridian, in China = the noon sun in Shushan retreated to the dawn = Phaethon = Egypt = Hanukkah = emperor Wen in China, December 12, 164 BC.
The sun rose at sunset in the west, and passed to the meridian, noon, in China, for Lu Yang about 464 BC, in 230 BC and on Hanukkah in 164 BC.
Thus, there was a sun miracle on Purim!
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour."
From the first day of the first month there may be a sun miracle. Then on the 13th day of the second month of Adar one year later to the date, the sun may return and there be a second sun miracle, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then on the half orbit point, the 10 day of the 7th month, the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the sun may move again. Thus, there be "light", a long day, a 24 hour longer day like Joshua's long day, in Esther 8:16, both on Yom Kippur, and a 12 hour longer day or 36 hour longer day, when the sun returned on the 13th day of second Adar, on Purim.
This 25th of Phamenoth equals 6 months 25 days till July 16 when Sirius first appears at 4 AM = Egyptian new year backed up to December 25, 465 BC.
Thus, this record from the new moon December 1, 1834 BC in Egypt, uses the same calendar to get an exact date: "For the fixing in time of the {Egyptian Middle Kingdom} and the periods preceding it, the key date is the seventh year of the reign of King Sesostris III of the Twelfth Dynasty. In this year, a helical rising of the star Sothis (our Sirius) was recorded on 16. VIII of the 365-day civil calendar, a fact which, thanks to the regular displacement of this calendar, in relation to the true astronomical year, allows the year in question to be placed between 1876 and 1864 BC, with every probability favoring 1872 BC."
Or counting forward the 25th of Phamenoth would also be this December 25, 465 BC when counting the last month of July, 16 days to the appearing of Sirius = July 16.
The label of a wine bottle wrongly dated to 1872 BC, the new moon 225 days to July 16 = December 1. 76 years further back to correct the Egyptian sothis calendar, 1872 BC + 76 years = 1948 BC. December 1, 1948 BC was this new moon, 225 days before July 16.
The sothis cycle being ended in 1281 BC 40 years more recent than 1321 BC. Then 1872 BC less 40 years = 1832 BC. December 1, 1834 BC was the new moon.
"Around 2017 BC, over a decade before Ur fell to the Elamites, Ishb-Erra left Ur and became King of Isin, another city in Sumer... About 150 years later, the astronomers of Isin predicted an eclipse, which they considered an omen that the king would die. Their King Erra-Immiti (1868 BC - 1861 BC) thought he could avert disaster by switching places with his gardener, Enlil Bani. The gardener sat on the King's throne, wearing his crown, and the King went into hiding. The strategy failed; the king died anyway, and the gardener kept his throne and crown."
Ancient Iraq, p.26.
Here you can see two possible solar eclipses for 1862 BC and 1861 BC:
"Their insiteful scholars develped complex geometry,solved quadratic equations, used the Pythagorean Theorem centuries before Pythagoras, and calculated Pi to 3.125 by 1860 BC."
Ancient Iraq, p.140.
The Merneptah Stele in Merneptah's fifth year in 1286 BC:
"The princes are prostrate, saying, "Peace!"
Not one is raising his head among the Nine Bows.
Now that Tehenu (Libya) has come to ruin,
Hatti is pacified;
The Canaan has been plundered into every sort of woe:
Ashkelon has been overcome;
Gezer has been captured;
Yano'am is made non-existent.
Israel is laid waste and his seed is not;
Hurru is become a widow because of Egypt."
This stele was in Merneptah's fifth year, 1286 BC. Israelites were already in the land.
Hurru is the Hebrews.
Thus, at the Exodus five years later, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, Merneptah would believe he would win against Israel again. Merneptah would be in a rage against Israel again.
There was a partial solar eclipse, 70%, at noon in Egypt, and total in sothern China at sunset, June 15, 1284 BC. This solar eclipse was total at would become Rome in Italy:
Merneptah may have killed the Israelites in southern Israel. Then there was Israelites in northern Israel when Joshua conquered southern Israel. Thus, the long day of Joshua 10:12 may have been the same year as the victory in Judges 4,5,6,7,8.
The next chapter Joshua 11 and the battle of Merom may have been a sun miracle half a year after Joshua's long day. The same King Jabin in both Joshua 11 and Judges 4 and 5.
This fifth year of Pharaoh Merneptah may be 1285 BC = 39 years to 1245 BC = 38 years to 1207 BC; and there be sun miracles on these years to point to the perfect life of Jesus of 38.5 years.
Genesis 15:16 "But in the fourth (fortieth) generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
Hebrews 3:16 "For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses."
Thus, the Hebrews were already in Israel as promised in the 40th generation, 1000 years after the Sojourn in Egypt in 2307 BC. 40 X 25 years to a generation = 1000 years.
From Jacob entering Egypt in April 3, 2307 BC to the Exodus in March 30, 1281 BC are 1026 years.
Thus, there were no Israelites in southern Israel when Joshua invaded because Pharaoh Merneptah had destroyed them 45 years before Joshua's conquest in southern Israel according to Joshua 10.
The book of Judges gives the picture of Israelites already in northern Israel when Joshua began to conquer southern Israel. Thus, the battles of Debra and Barak in Judges 4, 5; and the battle of Gideon in Judges 6, 7, 8; may have been at the same time, at least the same year, as Joshua's long day in Joshua 10:12.
Hebrews 11:32 "And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens."
See the eclipse path. From Five Millennium of Solar Eclipses, NASA. The star in the eclipse path is about where Yin was. Thus, this was a total eclipse in that location as the graph states. This may make the solar eclipse the earliest dateable solar eclipse and this solar eclipse just nine years before Joshua's long day.
The Chinese changed their emperors every time there was a celestial omen. Woo-Yih (Wu-Yi) became emperor in 1284 BC 34 years before, he died in his 35th year, Wanting (Wending) in 1250 BC. You can see this total solar eclipse, June 15, 1284 BC, covers China just like the March 4, 1250 BC solar eclipse.
The argument that no record of a solar eclipse has been found to date before Joshua's Long Day is defeated.
There was a new moon on Bingshen day 53 in Wu's first year as emperor. Fourth month, May 19, 1173 BC was the new moon on day 53. This would be Wu's thirteenth year, first year as emperor, when the kingdom became established. For the Chinese to consider day 53 Bingshen a superstitious day, there must have been a total solar eclipse within recent memory on that date. Thus, a solar eclipse on this day 53 March 4, 1250 BC on day 53 King Wan would have taken note of it on his capture, day 13 = Bingzi of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC.
There were four exact solar eclipses between 1414 BC and 1407 BC, and one lunar eclipse, recorded in Egypt by Akhenaten.
This and the first year 1251 BC or 1250 BC = the solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC when Wending replaced Wu Yi and the solar eclipse in Wending's first year suggest the Chinese recorded the solar eclipse on day 53, March 4, 1250 BC. Then the argument that no interfering event such as Joshua's Long Day can be detected without an earlier solar eclipse date is defeated. Thus, knowing that eclipse paths were where we would expect them to be, even projecting to before Joshua's long day, this model is necessary and explains how there can be long days yet no missing time. This explains how the solar system can be put back in place as if nothing happened.
The first year of emperor Wending should be this solar eclipse, the omen to make him emperor. The phoenixes on mount K'e in Wending's 12th year be 1239 BC and equal king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC. From this the sixth day of the first month, February 5, 1239 BC to king Wan's 35th year and lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC.
From the same location a total eclipse is not seen again for 375 years.
See Eclipse Dates in history revise current chronology. See how the experts have it all wrong: EclipseDatesA1.pdf, EclipseDatesA1.ppt. The longer version: EclipseDatesAAA.ppt, EclipseDatesAAA.pdf
Exodus 14:27 "And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea."
Exodus 15:12 "Thou stretchedst outH5186 thy right hand,H3225 the earthH776 swallowedH1104 them."
The word for right hand, right side = H3225 = yamiyn= south. Thus, Moses may have witnessed the sun suddenly rise in the east to the noon position = south = towards the right hand, whereupon, the Reed/Red Sea drowned the Egyptians.
The Passover must be from Friday. Perhaps there was on hour of darkness at noon Friday when the Passover lamb must be killed. Then the next day Saturday the sun may rise in the west and set in the east. Whereupon the children of Israel crossed the Reed/Red Sea Saturday. Then the sun may rise suddenly in the east Sunday April 1, 1281 BC after the children of Israel had crossed, and blinding the Egyptians.
Before the third month, would be the when Joshua fought Amalek:
There may have been another sun miracle in 1281 BC, when Moses held up his hands at sunset. Earth cannot keep flowing into and out of reverse orbits before the half orbit point. Then perhaps if there was a sun miracle at the Red Sea, the sun revolved 360° around the earth and earth's orbit was not changed till Joshua's battle with Amalek.
There was three days of darkness about March 15, 1281 BC that must be a sun miracle = the sun move to the other side of earth and earth flow into or out of a reverse orbit.
Then there are also possible sun miracles in the Exodus = when Israel left Egypt Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, and at the parting of the Red/Reed Sea about April 2, 1281 BC, and at the battle of Joshua against Amalek when Moses' hands were held up unto the going down of the sun a few months later in the third month.
Nevertheless, sun miracles may occur every six months, every half orbit.
God moving the sun 360° may occur at any time, only a reverse orbit is needed to make for sped up orbit of 48 hours a year to equal long days of 48 hours a year. Thus long days of 12 hours + 24 hours + 12 hours = one reverse orbit.
Exodus 17:1 "And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitchedH2583 in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink."
H2583 חָנָה chânâh khaw-naw' A primitive root (compare H2603); properly to incline; by implication to decline (of the slanting rays of evening); specifically to pitch a tent; generally to encamp (for abode or siege): - abide (in tents), camp, dwell, encamp, grow to an end, lie, pitch (tent), rest in tent. Total KJV occurrences: 143
This battle must have been before the third month, perhaps on the twenty-first of the second lunar month about May 3, 1281 BC. The first day of the third lunar month must be Wednesday, May 16, 1281 BC. Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC would be Pentecost, the 50th day from the Passover = Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 33 AD.
Exodus 17:12 "But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
Then one year later the sun must return. The season of first ripe grapes is in the month of May/June in Israel. Thus, Joshua may have returned from spying out the land and bringing the cluster of grapes one year after Joshua's battle with Amalek:
Numbers 14:9 "Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense H6738 is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not."
H6738 צֵל tsêl tsale From H6751; shade, whether literally or figuratively: - defence, shade (-ow). Total KJV occurrences: 49
Psalm 84:11 "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
Thus, Joshua may have expected the sun to return one year later, and God to give them an extended day at noon to conquer Palestine. May 3, 1281 BC was day 10 out of cycle 60. One year later, Saturday, April 27, 1280 BC was also day 10 of cycle 60. There is an oracle bone record of a solar eclipse on day 10 of cycle 60, most likely from the time of emperor Wuding to Wending, including Woo-Yih in this 1280 BC. Then the Saturday before the Manna fell may have been a few weeks after the crossing of the Red Sea. The crossing of the Red/Reed Sea must be three or more days after the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, and be about April 2, 1281 BC.
Possibly April 27, 1281 BC was Joshua's battle against Amalek and one year later April 27, 1280 BC day 10 of 60 was the 40th day of the Passover when the spies returned and Joshua said, "Let us go up at once" and there was a sun miracle when the sun must return one year later that to the Chinese was like an eclipse.
First ripe grapes are in May/June.
Or the sun may have stood still for Moses and Joshua Saturday May 12, 1281 BC. When the sun returned one year later May 12, 1280 BC is day 25 of 60 and may be the day 25 when there was a zhi blemish in the sun.
"Divined on day wuzi [25]: (Charge:) The Sun has a blemish, this should perhaps be reported to the [Lord of the Yellow] River.
Heji 33699
Perhaps the sun returned the day after the day of Pentecost - the celebration of Harvest, May 12, 1280 BC = the return of the 12 spies with first ripe grapes. However, if the sun moved back at the battle of Rephidim at the beginning of the third month, May 17, 1281 BC, the sun may move to the other side of the earth the next day, May 18, 1281 BC and Joshua expected the sun to move back one year later on the full moon Saturday, May 18, 1280 BC. Thus, a long day would take away the shadow/shade/defense of the Palestinians.
Thus, Joshua was prepared to ask God to make the sun stand still = no shade = H6738 = a long day = no defense to conquer the promised land in 1280 BC just one year after the Exodus, just as he did 39 years later on Joshua's long day.
Numbers 14:9 "Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense H6738 is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not."
There is the possibility this next oracle bone is from the same reign of Wending. Thus, the similar Heji numbers: Heji 11506 and Heji 11503b. Even they may both occupy a part of the same oracle bone or date from the same time and thus were found together. Perhaps Wending the successor of Wu Yi was afraid of Omens from Heaven that gave him the throne and inscribed this oracle bone the day after the total solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC. On the day of the Exodus, day 37 of 60, - day 7 of the 10 day week in China - Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, there may have been an hour of darkness at noon Egypt time, like the hour of darkness when Jesus was on the cross and noon Friday April 3, 33 AD. Darkness at noon in Egypt would mean a sudden darkness at sunset in China.
This inscription is an example of the Chinese day starting in the evening after sunset which is important in correctly dating the lunar eclipse in king Wan's 35th year:
"At the time period from the night of the seventh day jisi (day 6) there was (a) big new star that was seen beside Huo Antares."
Heji 11503b
The full moon would be moving toward Antares on day 7 cycle 60 (37), March 30, 1281 BC. The Exodus, March 30, 1281 BC day 37 - could be counted as day 7 of the 10 day week. Thus, this could describe a sun miracle on day 7 of the 10 day week. April 29, 1281 BC = the Sunday of the first day of manna, the 15th day of the second month, would be day 7 of cycle 60:
Exodus 17:12 "But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
The last quarter moon ended on a Saturday May 12, 1281 BC. This may be the time of this battle Joshua fought against Amalek. Antares would rise in the east at the time the sun set in the west. Then at the time of sunset in Israel, Antares would be at mid sky in China, the night half over and sunrise in six hours. Only the sun moved 180° east to stand still in the Egyptian western sky. Thus, the sun did not rise in six hours on China. It rose in 18 hours. Then the Chinese sacrificed to Antares the Fire star when the sun finally rose. The name Antares means the antes of Mars, the other red star.
See Mechanics problems in geodynamics oracle bones. - "Three flames ate the sun"
The sun has a "shi" a blemish. The moon has a "shi" a blemish? Perhaps the sun and moon were moved 180° and the far side of the moon was visible = the blemish "shi" on the moon.
This May 3, 1281 BC, if this is an Egyptian fixed date of Merneptah's death to May 3 of any year, would be back from May 3, 144 days + 144 days + July 17 - the appearing of Sirius. Or simply 77 days back from July 16. Thus, Sirius did not appear for the 77 days from May 3 to July 16. Perhaps Merneptah's death was not on the disappearing of Sirius May 3, 1281 BC but on a sun miracle perhaps at the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea a few days after the Exodus. Thus, the Egyptian date of Pharaoh Merneptah's death should be 3 months back from July 1. The new years was July 16 and the 30 day month ended July 1. 3 X 30 day months back is April 1. The Exodus was Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. The crossing of the Red/Reed Sea would be a few days afterwards, about April 1, 1281 BC.
The correction of eclipse dates during Akhetaten's reign by 76 years and by one month also mean this date of May 2 should be April 2.
The number 3.5 is in Jürgen von Beckerath, Chronologie des Pharaonischen Ägypten, Mainz, (1997), pp.190.
"You ought to know that the rising of Sothis takes place on the 16th of the 8th month. Announce it to the priests of the town of Sekhem-Usertasen and of Anubis on the mountain and of Suchos. And have this letter filed in the temple records."
Back from July 16, 216 days, (7 X 30 + 16) is December 2.
The Egyptian new moon, December 2, 1837 BC, the last visibility of the moon = the new moon December 4, 1837 BC.
The very date I am writing this, December 2, 2022.
This is the first year of Pharaoh Sen Usert III, dynasty XII.
Not 1878 BC 40 years more recent = Unas died not in 2350 BC but more than 40 years more recent, after 2307 BC when Jacob and Israel sojourned in Egypt. Unas reigned either 15 years or 30 years.
In Wikipedia: Unas Born 2375 BC died 2350 BC does not make sense. How could Unas live only 25 years and reign for more than 15 years?
The appearing of Sirius before dawn is July 16. The month begins July 1. The Egyptians had 30 day months back from July 1. 12 X 30 = 360 days. Then the 5 left over days at the end of the year from July 16 to give 365 days. To get 365.25 days the calendar backed up one day every four years.
Again, back from July 1, 3 months is April 1. Forward 5 days is April 5, 1281 BC = Pharaoh Merneptah's death. Thus, the crossing of the eastern most fork of the Nile River by Suez 5 days after the children of Israel left Ramses.
Wu Yi died in 1251 BC or 1250 BC: "The king was hunting between the Ho and the Wei, when he was frightened to death by a great thunderstorm." in his 35th year.
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.138
Wu Yi reigned 35 years from 1284 BC, his 3d year in 1281 BC when was the Exodus and there be three days of darkness the Chinese must have also experienced, that be the reason to move the capitol that year.
Thunderstorms occur frequently in January in China. January 14, 1251 BC was the new moon and a kea-tsze day, day 1 of cycle 60. It was prophesied on a kea-tsze day when there was a sun miracle, an omen:
"In his (Te-sin) 22nd year, from 1227 BC, in winter, he had great hunting along the Wei." "On the kea-tsze day, in the last month of Autumn, a red bird came to Fung..My ancestor, the recorder Ch'ow, divined once for Yu about hunting; and then he met with Kaou-yaou, - from an omen like that which has now occurred."
This sun miracle must be November 16, 1207 BC.
The date of the total solar eclipse in the first year of King Wending, March 4, 1250 BC, confirms the chronology given here. The February 5, 1239 BC date of the sun miracle of king Wan's dream was in Emperor Wending's 12th year. Thus, Wending reigned from March 4, 1250 BC.
The emphasis of day 53 and an omen in emperor Wu's first year as emperor also on day 53, in 1174 BC.
March 4, 1250 BC is on day 53 Bingshen. The three days of darkness in the ninth plague of Egypt should be March 28, 1281 BC, just 3 days before the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
"In his (Wending) 11th year, (1240 BC) Ke-leih attacked the hordes of E-t-oo, and having taken their three great chiefs, came with them to court to report his victory. The king put Ke-leih to death."
The Chinese Classics III, The Bamboo Annals, P.138
This was the year of the sun miracle of the fall of Jericho and Joshua's long day. The sun miracle may have made Wending jealous of Ke-leih, so he put him to death.
King Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC, was when he was middle aged and in battle against King Wending. Then from Wending's 12th year 1239 BC. The Chinese count the current year. Thus, both Wending's 12th year the current year from 1250 BC, and the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC the 35th year the current year from February 5,1239 BC.
Then king Wan's first year when phoenixes appeared on mount K'e, February 5, 1239 BC would be one and a half an orbits after Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
"In Wending's 12th year, phoenixes collected on mount K'e." Note: This was the first year of king Wan.
The Chinese Classics. p.138.
Thus, these phoenixes are the same as the phoenixes in king Wan's dream, probably February 5, 1239 BC.
Phoenixes may have been seen with the setting sun on China that stood still at noon in Israel for a battle, possibly the battle of Merom = king Wan's dream, a year and a half after Joshua's long day. The Phoenix was the large fire bird angel that flew to the sun to carry it to the other side of earth. Thus, king Wan may have had more light to fight the Shang dynasty that day. All because God made the day longer for Joshua to fight the battle of Merom that day.
"35th year of king Wen of Zhou, 1st month, day bingzi 13, during worship of the full moon the king announced, 'The many...eclipses are untimely, you should begin planning for the succession.'"
Yi Zhou shu. Xiao kai jie. ch.17
This must be the lunar eclipse visible just after sunset in China September 23, 1205 BC on day 13 of cycle 60 the first month beginning in September. The confusion may simply be this lunar eclipse was on day 13, day 13 of cycle 60. Lunar eclipses can only occur on day 15 of the lunar month. Thus, king Wan was claiming this lunar eclipse a sun and moon miracle, an omen for him to be emperor of China. Thus, worship of the full moon would be on day 15, and a lunar eclipse cannot happen on day 13 of the Chinese lunar month. Lunar eclipses can only occur on lunar day 15 of the Chinese month. Thus, it was thought by king Wan to be untimely because it was on day 13 when lunar eclipses are always on Chinese lunar day 15.
"Old stories of occurrances handed down by tradition, but scantily confirmed by experience, suddenly ceased to be incredible; there were earthquakes of unparalleled extent and violence; eclipses of the sun occurred with a frequency unrecorded in previous history; there were great droughts in sundry places and consequent famines, and that most calamitous and awfully fatal visitation, the plague. And all this came upon them with the late war."
The Landmark Thucydides, A comprehensive guide to the Peloponnesian War. p.16.
This date is 435 BC. Seven years more recent is 428 BC. Then by 428 BC there were both naturally occurring eclipses and probably sun miracles as well. King Wan likewise declared eclipses untimely September 23, 1205 BC a lunar eclipse.
This record is from 431 BC, nine years more recent is 422 BC = 450 years to Jesus' ministry. This Median War was in 435 BC and should also be seven or more years more recent. The untimely eclipses were counted from Darius I, who reigned after the return from the 70 year captivity in Cyrus' reign 521 BC to 518 BC. The temple again rebuilt in Darius I reign in 507 BC, in Darius' second year from 509 BC to 486 BC, and Xerxes who reigned from 486 BC tp 458 BC, and Artaxerxes I who reigned from 458 BC to 417 BC.
King Wan may have been right, and this was not a lunar eclipse, this was a sun miracle. At least there is a parallel to a lunar eclipse in 1205 BC and a lunar eclipse in 5 BC. The lunar eclipse record by Josephus on Friday, September 15, 5 BC appears to be the sun and moon moving back. King Wan believed sun miracles showed his appointment of Heaven to be emperor and start a new dynasty. This day 13 was of the 60 day cycle and not the lunar day.
Thus, the reason king Wan stated a lunar eclipse was untimely may have been he mistook day 13 of cycle 60 to be day 13 of the lunar month. Perhaps 13 was a superstitious number to the Chinese. This record of a lunar eclipse in September 23, 1205 BC was the 35th year, since China counts the current year as well. From February 5, 1239 BC to September 23, 1205 BC = the 35th year.
Three times in Judges it states the land had rest 40 years - the same 40 years from Joshua's long day. In 1207 BC the day one of cycle 60 was on September 21, 1207 BC which was the 17th day of the seventh lunar month. Jesus may have been born on the 17th day of the seventh lunar month, September 12, 7 BC. So God's purpose for the sun miracle may have been to point to Jesus' birth.
Several recorded solar eclipses occurred on a full moon and thus were not solar eclipse. An example is the darkness associated with the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, the full moon on the 15th lunar day:
"it was not only on account of our contest with them, but on account of all mankind in common, that we have taken vengeance on those who have been the authors of great injustice towards men, and of great wickedness towards the gods; for the sake of which we suppose it was that the sun turned away his light from us."
Josephus, The Antiquities of the Jews/Book XIV, chapter 12, verse 22.
The founding of Rome may also have been on a like sun miracle in the spring = Passover, of April 21, 751 BC or April 1, 752 BC - thus the Roman omen.
The full moon on Passover = the Ides of March, March 15 in 45 BC = January 1, 45 BC the new moon = Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar; March 15 = the full moon thus March 15 = 77 years before Jesus' crucifixion. Thus, 38 years after 45 BC Jesus would be born. Jesus would live 38 years from 7 BC to 33 AD. Thus, a sun miracle on the Ides of March should point to Jesus' birth and life, and crucifixion.
Thus, if there was darkness at noon in Israel, 11 AM in Italy, this may foretell the darkness at noon, Friday, April 3, 33 AD, when Jesus was on the cross, and be this sign when Julius Caesar was murdered, the sage in Shakespeare's play:
From Shakespeare:
Caesar: "The ides of March are come."
Sooth: "Ay, Caesar, but not gone."
Julius Caesar began the year, then March 21, to be January 1, 45 BC = the new moon, the Kalends of January, by adding 81 days to the calendar. Thus we have the Julian Calendar which we use for years Before Christ = BC, the Gregorian calendar for years Annos Domini; Latin for "year of our Lord" = AD. Christmas in 1 AD was supposed to be the birth of Jesus, January 1, 1 AD, but the monk did not include that Herod the Great died in 4 BC because Luke's Gospel said Jesus was 30 (the 30th decade = 35th year) when he started his three and a half year ministry, the monk knowing Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD; 33 years backward is 1 AD.
There were may sun miracles 38 years apart pointing to the perfect life of Jesus to come. Thus, sun miracles in years ending X68 BC, X30 BC, X45 BC, X07 BC, and years ending X72 BC and X22 BC. Thus, there be a pattern of sun miracles of darkness on the Passover for the sooth to say: "Ay, Caesar, but not gone."
A bright comet was recorded this 45 BC in the months after Julius Caeser's death. This was recorded during the games Octavian held in recognition of Julius after his death. The comet appeared bright for seven days. The comet appeared in the east just after sunset, and thus would be directly overhead at midnight in September. This was recorded in Roman coins from 44 BC. A type of the star of Jesus' birth. Thus, a bright comet overhead in September 38 years before Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. This comet must be similar to the star the wise men saw in the east 38 years later. Thus, the same 38 year period of Jesus' life.
Rising the 11th hour of the day = 6 PM = the sun setting in the west, and the comet passing overhead, above Bethlehem, at midnight 38 years before Jesus was born September 12, 7 BC. Jesus lived 38 years to April 3, 33 AD.
The Halley's comet of 12 BC may have been written down, Chinese records were written after the death of the emperor, that is, after the new emperor from 7 BC, and be the star of the wisemen in 5 BC. Thus, this same September 38 years before 7 BC = 45 BC. Then the wisemen may have seen a comet in July, from the new moon day 8 of cycle 60, July 20, 5 BC, to the full moon day 56 of cycle 60, September 15, 5 BC; again a comet, that lead them to Jesus. The earliest record of Ceasar's comet of 45 BC also was in July.
The comet in Gemini July 20 passing to Arcturus as the evening sky rose higher with earth's reverse orbit = 45 days the sun in Pisces September 15, 5 BC and the comet and Arcturus directly above Bethlehem at midnight in September of 5 BC.
The comet should not be visible by the sun at noon in September. This Arcturus the Chinese wrote that the comet passed was by the sun at noon in September. Thus, just like king Wan's dream, the sun is described as being 180° away.
"One of the clearest and earliest correlations of Caesar to a comet occurred during the Secular Games of 17 BC"
Again, 17 BC was the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, there may also be an astronomical event in 17 BC too.
There was a comet recorded as comet Halley in 12 BC. However, the days of cycle 60 match lunar dates for July - September of 5 BC. Moreover, the background stars = zodiac = earth in a reverse orbit = the same zodiac sign in July but earth progressing in reverse. Herod inquired when the star appeared, two years previous. September 5 BC should be when the wise men came to Jerusalem and Bethlehem to worship Jesus, the King of the Jews.
Comets only appear for a few months. Maybe Arcturus was the star they saw in September 12, 7 BC because the sun would be on the other side of earth when God moved the sun 180°. China had a new emperor in 7 BC. China often assassinated their emperor when there was a sun miracle because they thought it was a bad omen, and an omen for a new emperor.
Emperor Chengdi reigned from 33-7 B.C. and emperor Aidi from 7 BC to 1 BC. Thus, there must have been a celestial event in 7 BC when Jesus was born visible in China.
"In his 50th year (2607 BC from 2657 BC), in the autumn, in the 7th month, on the day Kang-shin (57 of cycle 60), October 18, 2607 BC (the fall equinox), phoenixes, male and female, arrived. The emperor sacrificed at the river Loh..the heavens were wrapt in mist for three days and three nights..Heaven is giving your majesty grave instructions..the emperor called on the recorder to divine about the thing..when the tortoise-shell was only scorched.. The recorder said, "I cannot divine it.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, the reigns of Huangdi..p.109.
Matthew 12:39 "But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Not a little bit of Friday, Saturday, and a little bit of Sunday, but three 24 hour days, a long day of 84 hours or a long night of 84 hours, in between Friday and Sunday.
Thus, the sun miracle October 18, 2607 BC at Abraham's birth, predicted the sun miracle perhaps September 12, 7 BC, when Jesus would be born. Thus, the emperor then asked to divine by burning the tortoise-shell. The same, the emperor Chengdi or his successor Ai di, may have divined, and had an answer the King of the Jews was born.
Most likely this event was a sun miracle at Jesus' birth, perhaps September 12, 7 BC. There were many sun miracles in years ending X07 BC. Coming to a climax in 7 BC, the wisemen may have set out on a two year journey to Israel, to Jerusalem, to worship the King of the Jews.
The record for Halley's comet in 12 BC is accurate and there may not have been a comet in the sky when the wisemen came to Bethlehem. The star the wisemen followed must be Arcturus that passed directly over Bethlehem - the sun moved to the other side of the earth in September and Arcturus directly above may have been the sign the wisemen were looking for.
"There has been an unprecedented rate of solar eclipses in recent years, more frequent than any in past days of disorder. And it is well know that the fall of past dynasties was preceded by clear astronomical portents, of which he gives examples. And then he says: But now solar eclipses have occurred with extreme frequency, and there have been a hsing-po at Tung ching, with the flames from Shi T'i reaching as far as Tzu wei, so that there is none amongst the senior officials who is not badly shaken"
Halley's Comet and the Ghost Event of 10 BC
Thus, the reason for recording Halley's comet in 10 BC when there was no comet in 10 BC. There was no comet record in September of 5 BC.
"There has been an unprecedented rate of solar eclipses in recent years" may refer to more sun miracles prior to Jesus' birth. Thus, if the wisemen came from China, they would have reason to believe a sun miracle in September of 7 BC was the sign of the birth of the King of the Jews. So many records of sun miracles observed in China were on a year ending in 07 BC. Abraham's birth and the phoenix, day 57 of cycle 60, October 18, 2607 BC.
"The Kumanso people were prospering, until nine Suns were seen in the sky, followed by great Ch'aous." February 10, 9 BC.
Wonders in the Sky, p.45 - Brothers Magazine (Japan) No.III, 1964 - did not provide a quote from an actual source.
This February 10, 9 BC was three days after the full moon, and thus could be a sun miracle just after the Passover February 7, 9 BC three days later was Saturday, February 10, 9 BC may be a parallel to the three days from Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD, then was Saturday, April 4, 33 AD. The sabbaton of seven the night of Jesus' crucifixion may mean Friday night was 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours, longer night.
Then if the sun stood still for nine or seven days, 9 X 12, or 7 X 12 hours, on the morning in China, this could equal the same 7 X 12 hours darkness Friday night, February 9, 9 BC, in Israel.
February 10, 8 BC, one year later was on the new moon, when the sun may move back.
There were solar eclipses visible in China: March 29, 15 BC, March 18, 14 BC, August 31, 13 BC, June 30, 10 BC, June 19, 9 BC, which is only normal. There would need be sun miracles for celestial omens to be more than normal.
Many sun miracles happened on a year ending X45 BC = 38 years of Jesus' life from this 7 BC forward to 33 AD. 50 year jubiles from X45 BC are repeated in sun miracles many times. Such as the sun miracle in Yao's 70th year in the first month in spring = hour of darkness = Jesus' sacrifice at noon, April 3, 33 AD. The 70th year from Yao's ten suns in spring of 2315 BC to 2245 BC. Thus, darkness at sunset in China = darkness at noon in Israel at the Passover in 2245 BC.
Thus, Solomon's first year after his father King David died was in 1044 BC. 1046 BC was the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and also 1045 BC is 38 years to 1007 BC, the 38.5 years of Jesus' perfect life.
David was in the lineage of Christ. Thus, his death on the jubile in 1045 BC = 22 X 49 years, 22 jubiles, to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
From David's death in 1045 BC are the 38 years of Jesus' life backwards to 1007 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC.
1 Kings 9:16 "For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife."
This Pharaoh should be Siamon who reigned, not from 986 BC to 967 BC, but 76 years further back, from to 1062 BC to 1043 BC = to the third year of King Solomon. Thus Siamon ruled concurrently with David and Solomon.
Note the details in this account in 2245 BC:
"In his 70th year, in spring, the first month, he caused the chief of the four mountains to convey to Shun of Yu his charge to succeed to the throne.
Note: when the emperor had been on the throne for 70 years, a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih, and phoenixes appeared in the courtyards of the palace; the pearl grass grew..the sun and moon appeared like a pair of gems, and the five planets looked like threaded pearls..when the flooded waters were assuaged, the emperor, attributing the merit of that to Shun, wished to resign in his favour..Among the islets of the Ho, there were five old men walking about, who were the spirits of the five planets. They said to one another, 'The river scheme will come and tell the emperor of the time. He who knows us is the doubled pupil yellow Yaou.'
The five old men on this flew away like flowing stars and ascended in the constellation Maou (Taurus). On the 2nd month, in the sin-chow day, between the dark and the light, the ceremonies were all prepared; and when the day began to decline, a gorgeous light came forth from the Ho, and 'beautiful vapours filled all the horizon; white clouds rose up, and returning winds blew all about. Then a dragon horse appeared, bearing in his mouth a scaly cuirass, with red lines on a green ground, ascended the altar, laid down the scheme and went away. The cuirass was like a tortoise shell, nine cubits broad. The scheme contained a tally of white gem, in a casket of a red gem, covered with yellow gold, and bound with a green string. On the tally were the words, 'With pleased countenance given to the emperor Shun.'
It said also that Yu and Hea should receive the appointment of Heaven... Two years afterwards, in the 2nd month, he led out all his ministers, and dropped a peih in the Lo. The ceremony over, he retired, and waited for the decline of the day. Then a red light appeared; a tortoise rose from the waters, with writing with red lines on its back, and rested on the altar. The writing said that he should resign the throne to Shun, which accordingly the emperor did."
The Chinese Classics
This was not the planetary conjunction of 1953 BC.
Here is the sky in the spring of 2245 BC. Note that Jupiter is in Gemini, Saturn and the sun by Aries, Venus in the Pleiades. Then the sun must have just moved 180° from Virgo to Aries and the five planets flowed into Maou/Taurus.
The sun and moon together = almost new moon. The five planets like threaded pearls = the planets were moved out of the way of the sun when God moved the sun to the other side of the earth 70 years after 2315 BC = 2245 BC; 2245 BC = 38 years in reverse to 2207 BC; 2200 years to Jesus' sacrifice = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life. Likewise, in king Wan's dream the five planets had a conjunction in Fang/Scorpio when God moved the planets just before He moved the sun back, February 5, 1239 BC.
The sin-chow day, day 38 = the new moon - means the planets all the more visible on either side of the sun, this day 38 = Friday, April 21, 2245 BC. Mars is in Hercules = 180° from Maou/Taurus. The sun is in Maou/Taurus in April 21, 2245 BC.
Two years later, the sun must return, Sunday, April 21, 2243 BC. The parallel may be to Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD and Jesus' resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
The spring equinox in 2245 BC was April 7. Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD was 14 days after the spring equinox March 20, 33 AD. Thus, April 22, 2245 BC is 14 days after the spring equinox. A sun miracle on the new moon like on January 26, 2636 BC.
The equinox backs up one day every 128 years in the Julian calendar. Thus, 2245 BC is egual to 18 days. Thus, April 22, 2245 BC is the same as April 3, 33 AD when Jesus gave his sacrifice.
The sin chow day, day 38 of cycle 60, was this new moon, Saturday, April 22, 2245 BC. There is the possibility there was darkness at noon in Israel like there was darkness at noon at the Passover when Jesus was on the cross. April 22, 2245 BC = April 3, 33 AD when Jesus went to the cross. The calendar backs up one day every 128 years in the Julian calendar until 1 AD when begins the Gregorian calendar that is checked to keep in step with the seasons.
"On the 2nd month, on the sin chow day, between the dark and the light, the ceremonies were all prepared, and when the day began to decline, a glorious light came from the Ho..then the dragon horse appeared, bearing in his mouth a scaly cuirass with red lines on a green ground, ascended the altar, and laid down the scheme and went away."
The Chinese Classics
"between the dark and the light" may equal the sun darkened in its going forth, perhaps at the speed of light. The "red lines" may equal the sun dilated to a vertical red line being moved at the speed of light.
The day 38 of cycle 60 in 2245 BC 38 years later to Shun's 14th year from 2222 BC is 2207 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life. The 17th day of the 7th month day 14 of cycle 60, September 5, 2207 BC. The 14th year of Shun 2207 BC, the full moon on lunar day 15 and perhaps a sun miracle on day 14, September 5, 2207 BC; may be like the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC on day 13 of cycle 60 that king Wan took for an omen because a lunar eclipse can only occurr on lunar day 15, but this counting was day 13 of cycle 60.
The sun must return two years later on day 48 of cycle 60, April 21, 2243 BC. The solar eclipse record for day 48 of cycle 60 was not the solar eclipse, February 16, 505 BC but was a sun miracle on February 10, 504 BC, the third day of Adar when the second temple was finished.
The day Gengzi 37, like Sin-Chow 38, was also celebrated on the new moon a day of brightness Sunday, April 17, 1170 BC, when the vassals confirmed the kingdom to emperor Wu. Thus, a sun miracle on a new moon about the same date in April. Divide the year BC by 128 years to get the days added to the spring equinox on March 20, 1 AD to get the spring equinox in years BC. The spring equinox in 2245 BC was April 7. The spring equinox in 1170 BC was March 30. Thus, April 27, 2245 BC is equal to April 17, 1170 BC.
One year later, April 22, 2244 BC, is lunar day 10 when the lamb was to be taken into the house before the Passover.
38 years after this 2245 BC is 2207 BC. Jesus' birth to be on the 17th day of the 7th month would be day 14 of cycle 60, September 5, 2207 BC or day 44 of cycle 60, October 5, 2207 BC.
Phoenixes appeared in King Ching's 18th year, probably 1150 BC.
In King Ching's 24th year = 1145 BC, "the chief of Yu-yueh came to make his submission" - perhaps because of the omen of a sun miracle in 1145 BC.
Joseph was born 2345 BC to live 38 years to his father Jacob and brothers entering Egypt 2307 BC.
In Joseph's 110 year of his life 2235 BC, the Passover should be Friday, March 19, 2235 BC or Saturday, April 17, 2235 BC.
"And Joseph died in the forty-sixth jubilee, in the sixth week, the second year..."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, Joseph's death.p.154.
47 X 49 + 35 + 1 = 2339; + 2235 BC = 4574 BC = the 800th year from Adam, 5372 BC 800 years to 4572 BC.
From 2244 BC 7 years ahead is 2237 BC, 70 years ahead is 2169 BC = the first year of emperor Yu of China.
Solomon's first year 1044 BC, the temple began 1041 BC, completed 7 years later in 1034 BC. Again similar numbers pointing to Jesus.
The 1034 years Herodotus wrote, between the sunrising in the west and setting in the east, may equal from 1041 BC to 7 BC.
From the first year of the seven years of plenty of Joseph made governor of Egypt on Yao's long day 2315 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC are 1034 years.
From Joshua's long day in 1241 BC to Hezekiah's sign in 703 BC are 538 years = 500 + 38 years of Jesus' life.
47 X 49 + 35 + 1 = 2339 years. Back from 2235 BC = 4574 BC. Thus, from Adam in year 800 from 5372 BC is 4572 BC, and only a difference of two years.
The sun miracle the 70th year of Yao from 2315 BC was 2245 BC. Likewise, Shun 50 years + 3 years from 2222 BC to 2169 BC = 2200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Yu assists Shun in his 14th year = 2207 BC = 45 years to Yu's death in 2161 BC; Yu begins in 2169 BC -8 Yu -14 K'e = 2145 BC - Emperor T'ae-k'ang's first year.
Yuh-Ting's first year 1647 BC. Yung-Ke 1607 BC. Nan-Kang 1445 BC. 1445 BC is 45 years to 1407 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 1445 BC to 1407 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life. A sun miracle in 1445 BC may have been a sun miracle the Chinese took as an omen to make Nan-Kang emperor.
Solomon began his reign 1045 BC, four years before the 240 years of Exodus 1281 BC = 50 year jubile in 1041 BC from 1241 BC.
There was a eclipse record that could be a sun miracle in China 647 BC = the year it rained gold. There was a mistaken solar eclipse in 645 BC that could have been a sun miracle. 645 BC is 38 years till 607 BC = 600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. There may have been a solar eclipse that the senators took as an omen to kill Julius Caesar March 15, 45 BC. Likewise, this solar eclipse in China for 645 BC may be an hour of darkness = a sun miracle, like the three hours, or one hour, when Jesus was on the cross April 3, 33 AD. This could be like Jesus' life of 38 years in reverse.
Friday, March 19, 645 BC was the full moon and Passover. From November March was the fifth month. The Chinese recorded the solar eclipse for the fifth month, either 645 BC or 644 BC. There was no solar eclipse, so the record must be a sun miracle.
The 22nd year of King Heen = cycle 50, from 367 BC = exactly 346 BC - should be year 12 of King Heen's reign, or year 11 of cycle 60, is given the sixty cycle numbe jin-yin = 39. Monday, February 12, 346 BC or Thursday April 13, 346 BC, was day 39 of cycle 60, and the full moon = the Passover = darkness at noon in Israel just as there was darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross.
The year was 12 of cycle 60. The number 39 can only be a day of cycle 60. The reason to record this day = the Passover, must be because of the omen of sudden darkness at sunset in China.
All these sun miracles point to Jesus.
These are the same forty years from Joshua's first year in 1241 BC:
Judges 3:11 "And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
Judges 8:28 "Thus, was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
Joshua 11 = King Jabin in Judges 4 and 5 = forty years of rest from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC. Gideon's forty years may be the same forty years.
Numbers 32:11 "Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:"
1 Samuel 4:15 "Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see."
Eli 20 years old at 1281 BC, born 1300 BC, would be 98 years old in 1201 BC. From Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC are 40 years ("he had judged Israel forty years.")
1 Samuel 4:18 "And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
1 Samuel 7:2 "And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD."
1 Samuel 12:2 "And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and gray headed; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day."
Samuel being about seven years old at the end of the 40 years from Joshua's conquest. From Samuel's birth about 1207 BC = a type of Christ: Saul reigned 40 years from 1124 BC to 1084 BC. Then if Samuel died in 1087 BC Samuel would have lived 120 years. There had been from the Exodus in 1281 BC to 1084 BC almost 200 years.
Acts 3:24 "Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days."
From 1207 BC to God's appointment of Saul as King of Israel in 1124 BC, Samuel would be 83 years old, and "old and gray headed."
The end of the twenty years the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, should be 1181 BC = emperor Xin's 48th year when an E goat = phoenix = sun miracle, appeared. There had been 100 years from the Exodus in 1281 BC to 1181 BC.
Or, from Te-sin's first year 1226 BC his 48th year 1179 BC are 100 years to David's first year as king of all Israel and the sun miracles of 2 Samuel 5:20 and 5:25.
From Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC about 38 years to 1203 BC, 20 years the ark was left at Kirjathjearim to 1183 BC, 38 years to King Ching's 24th year in 1145 BC. All these 38 years pointing to Christ.
Galatians 3:24 "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
Romans 16:25 "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen."
"the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began" all these sun miracles point to the birth, ministry, and sacrifice of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 31:10 "And Moses commanded them, saying, at the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God, in the place he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
Joshua 24:14 "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in all sincerity and truth: and put away the gods your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt, and serve ye the LORD.
24:15 And if it seem evil for you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the LORD."
This research is done in sincerity and truth.
Ephesians 4:13 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"
This research is done for the unity of faith in Jesus.
The 35th year of king Wan may have been the seventh Sabbath fallow year. The feast of tabernacles was in this September on this full moon of the lunar eclipse. Perhaps this was when Joshua gathered Israel together and spoke in Joshua 24 when he was old and nearly 110 years old. Joshua perhaps being under 40 when he spied out the land just after the Exodus. Joshua 38 in 1280 BC, be 77 in 1241 BC = 2 X 38.5 years, and be 110 in 1207 BC.
The 35th year of king Wan in September 23, 1205 BC. From 1242 BC - a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, the fifth sabbath year: 5 X 7 = 35; 1242 BC - 35 years = 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth, and possible sun miracle.
This may be a time of a sun miracle, a sign from Heaven to seal the covenant. Thus, the lunar eclipse would be a further sign of heaven king Wan took to declare to the Shang Emperor: "you should be planning for the succession".
The lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC is from NASA's Five Millennium Canon of Lunar Eclipses.
From the new moon, January 26, 2636 BC is the start date in Huangdi's 20th year from 2656 BC.
From 2656 BC 35 years to 2621 BC. From Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC to the jubile September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. On the jubile the civil year begins on this Yom Kippur, the 10th day of the 7th month, not the 1st day of the 7th month, when Jesus began his ministry when he was 35 years old.
2636 BC - 1205 BC = 1431 years. X 365.25 = 522672.75. Subtract .75 = 522672. / 60 = 8711.2. Now .2 X 60 = 12. Now 12 + January 26 + 5 + February 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 23 = 253. 253 days - 240 = 13. Thus, the lunar eclipse the night of September 23 to September 23, 1205 BC was day 13 of cycle 60. Thus, the unlucky lunar eclipse occurred on Friday the 13th!
This day 13 of cycle 60 date to this event adds up. The first month usually is spring, February. However, the Chinese civil new year is in this September.
Te-sin's first year maybe 1227 BC, not 1221 BC. Thus, his third year maybe in 1223 BC. The Exodus was in year 35 of cycle 60 in 1281 BC from 2636 BC in China. Josephus wrote Joshua died in the 25th year of Israel's conquest 1216 BC.
Josephus wrote Joshua lived 25 years after the conquest of the promised land. Then, Joshua would be 105 years old in 1221 BC, Te-sin's sixth year. Then, Joshua may have spoken the words recorded in Joshua 24, perhaps on Yom Kippur, and lived five more years to 110 years. Then, 1221 BC, perhaps on Yom Kippur - the day of the jubile, being in even 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 perhaps October 7, 29 AD.
Then also, Joshua would be 45 when he went out to spy the land in 1280 BC.
For Joshua to be 40 and a young man when the 12 spied out the land, he then should have lived 30 more years from his 80th year in the year of conquest. Thus, Joshua may have died in 1216 BC or 1211 BC at 110 years of age.
If Joshua was the age of Jesus in the first year of Exodus, he may be 38 in 1280 BC, and thus live to 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth.
Nevertheless, Josephus says Joshua died in his 25th year after the conquest of Palestine, 1216 BC. Then Joshua would be 45 years old at the Exodus = the 12 spies were about 40 years old, 85 years old at Joshua's long day.
Even so, there could have been a sun miracle to mark Joshua's death, before king Wan was imprisoned, the keatze day = day one of cycle sixty, the 17th day of the 7th month, Saturday, September 21, 1207 BC.
1207 BC back 110 years is 1317 BC the Exodus in 1281 BC Joshua 36, Joshua's long day 1241 BC Joshua 76, 1207 BC Joshua 110 years old.
Josephus wrote Joshua lived 25 years after the conquest = 110 years old in 1216 BC.
"In his (Te-sin) 3d year a sparrow produced a hawk." - at the end of the 21st year of Joshua, the seventh year of release when the law was to be read.
Simply Te-sin' first year 36th of cycle 1101 BC, plus 120 years correction is 1221 BC. Back the 52 years of Te-sin, from emperor Wu in 1174 BC to 1226 BC, his sixth year would be 1222 BC. Te-sin's first year 1227 BC.
Josephus said Joshua lived 25 years after Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC. Then, perhaps there was a sun miracle to mark Joshua's death about 1215 BC. If Joshua's death was in 1223 BC, this is in even 50 year jubiles to 23 BC + 50 years to the jubile Jesus fulfilled, Isaiah 61, in September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
This should be 1221 BC = Te-sin's fifth year from 1227 BC = 5 years from 1226 BC = 52 years back from 1174 BC is 1227 BC. Ts-sin imprisoned king Wan upon his declaration at the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC in his 23d year. Thus, Ts-sin's first year must be 1227 BC.
Josephus said Joshua spoke in his address in Joshua 24 in his 20th year from his conquest of 1241 BC = 1221 BC = 25 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' fulfillment of Isaiah 61 speaking in Luke 4, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
"In his 5th year.. There was a shower of earth in Poh. In his 6th year, the chief of the west offered sacrifice for the first time to his ancestors in Peih" (a peih was a Jade disc six inches across with a hole in the middle to signify the sun).
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.139
Earth's path of orbit means head on Meteriods double after midnight. A change in earth's orbit means different meteoriotes are in earth's path, more meteors than normal and more head on meteorites than normal. Most of the meteor streaks you see in the night sky are no more in size than a grain of sand.
Because God is moving the sun around the earth, the path directly in front of the earth that would have direct impact meteors that is usually from 12 AM to 6 AM may not be assumed.
In the reverse orbit meteor showers should appear from 6 PM to 12 AM instead.
Also, the new path around the sun would also be all new meteorites, and thus more meteorites than usual, and perhaps more head on collisions = brighter fire balls. Thus, the Chinese often described seeing meteors falling to earth and finding their remains = sometimes gold from gold asteroids = meteorites found on the ground when there was a sun miracle.
Thus, Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision is an accurate title to sun miracles.
From Te-sin's first year 36 of cycle 60 = 1101 + 120 years = 1221 BC. Woo-Ting reigned 50 years, not 59 years. Likewise Te-sin reigned from 1227 BC, not 1221 BC.
Again, in Te-sin's 5th yeart there was a shower of earth. In his 6th year the chief of the West offered sacrifices for the first time to his ancestors in Peih = 1222 BC and 1221 BC. A Peih was a jade disk that was dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle.
Josephus wrote Joshua spoke at Shechem in Joshua 24, 20 years after the conquest of the Promised Land, from 1241 BC, the probability of a sun miracle that year because of this meteor shower produced by earth in a reverse orbit hitting head on asteroids and dust = the shower of earth. Also the sacrifice of a peih that was often offered when there was a sun miracle.
Normally meteor showers happen after midnight because then the side of earth facing the front of earth's path hitting meteors directly head on is visible from midnight to dawn. In earth's reverse orbit the side of earth heading into meteors is in the evening between sunset and midnight. More people are up after sunset than before sunrise. Also, with a reverse orbit a new slate of meteors are in earth's path. Thus, in the reverse orbit meteor showers are more likely to be observed and recorded.
Joshua lived to be 110 years old, 25 years from 1241 BC = 1216 BC. Then Joshua would be 45, and Caleb 40, when they went out with the other 10 to spy out the land.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle on this seventh year and the hawk was really the phoenix. Josephus wrote that Joshua lived to the 25th year since the conquest. So, Joshua may have made the declaration of Joshua 24 in 1221 BC, in the 35th year of the Chinese cycle 60 from 2636 BC.
From Joshua's conquest in 1241, twenty years to 1221, is like Solomon finished his house and the temple in 20 years from 1041 to 1021 BC. From Solomon's first year in 1044 BC to 1021 BC are 25 years.
However, Joshua should have been forty when the twelve went to spy out the land. Then Joshua be eighty when he conquered the Promised Land. Then he would live thirty more years to be 110 years old when he died in 1207 BC.
This because Joshua may have been 38 in 1282 BC = the age of Jesus, 78 in 1241 BC, then when he was 110 years old when he died would be 1207 BC. 1207 BC is 1200 years to Jesus' birth.
Back 2 X 38.5 years of Jesus' life from 1205 BC is 77 years to 1282 BC the same year as the Exodus.
"In the time of Hwang-te, there had been a prophesy to the effect that 'the chief of the west should become king in a certain kea-tze year'."
The Chinese Classics
"In his 22nd year, in winter, he had great hunting along the Wei." "On the kea-tsze day, in the last month of Autumn, a red bird came to Fung..My ancestor, the recorder Ch'ow, divined once for Yu about hunting; and then he met with Kaou-yaou, - from an omen like that which has now occurred."
The sun miracle might have occurred in Te-sin's 22nd year, day one of cycle sixty, November 16, 1206 BC, the year before king Wan made this statement "eclipse is untimely" perhaps because of the sun miracle just previous the lunar eclipse in 1205 BC. November 16 is also the 45th day since the autumn equinox about September 30 at that time in 1206 BC, the last day of Chinese autumn, and the 90th day of autumn. A solar eclipse can occur on the new moon. However, there were no solar eclipses visible from China in those years or dates.
Then his 23rd year was in 1205 BC when king Wan was imprisoned, just after his declaration, "eclipse is untimely" because also there was a sign from Heaven that very day that was not only a lunar eclipse.
Perhaps a sun miracle on day 13 of cycle 60 was an unlucky omen. Then the sun miracle at the time of the lunar eclipse on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC was too much. King Wan felt compelled to declare his mandate from heaven.
"In his 29th year (from 1230 BC = 1200 BC) he liberated the chief of the west, who was met by many of the princes, and was escorted back to Ch'ing."
This 29th year was 1200 BC and was the 42nd year from Joshua's conquest and was in the seventh year of release when a sun miracle could be expected.
King Wan may have been liberated because of a sun miracle that year. From 1240 BC to 1200 BC Israel had rest.
Then they became captive after the forty years.
A sun miracle could be expected in this 29th year, 1200 BC, a sign to Israel of God's displeasure in sending them into captivity and so soon after Joshua admonished them. So, at the sun miracle meant for Israel's captivity, the same sun miracle in China meant king Wan's release.
From this NASA's Web page: "The validity and predictive power of this equation are well documented and can be seen every day: a recent example is the lunar eclipse that was visible to much of the world last Sunday. This calculation would not cover any time before the present, so some missing day many centuries ago, if it had occurred, could not be uncovered with this method."
You will see here the lunar eclipse of September 23, 1205 BC in king Wan's 35th year appears to date king Wan's dream 34 years back to 1239 BC. However this sun miracle record rather May 9, 1206 BC, dates 35 years from king Wan's first year February 15, 1240 BC, or to the 35th year from, February 5, 1239 BC.
February 5, 1239 BC be king Wan's first year = his 35th year September 23, 1205 BC = the 35th the current year.
Seeing that both a sun miracle on May 9, 1206 BC and the lunar eclipse on September 23, 1205 BC were both on day 13 of cycle 60, these may have been too much for king Wan. At least one of the two must be a sun miracle and not a naturally occurring lunar eclipse. And thus his statement that he had the mandate of heaven. And thus the first sun miracle on day 13 of cycle 60 in the beginning of the year, in spring, May 9, 1206 BC was in his 35th year from February 5, 1239 BC.
King Wan's statement was after the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC on day 13 of cycle 60 on the first month of the Chinese counting the year from September.
Using the simple orbital mechanics demonstrated here, dates Joshua's long day to August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC. The space men in the Missing Day Story could make all these calculations just from king Wan's dream. This lunar eclipse occurred Sunday night, March 24, 1997, the day before this NASA page was written. The predictive power works backwards just as well as forwards. A solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC day 53 is evidence Joshua's long day August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, left no lasting effect on orbits.
Again, these solar eclipse records prove you can go backwards and forwards before and after Joshua's long day, and all eclipses will work:
| Total Eclipse Akhet-Aten | 14 May 1338 BC 14 June 1414 BC | 25 Shemu II Year 2 | Inspired Akhetaten to celebrate heb-sed at Karnak |
| Annular Eclipse Northern Egypt | 13 March 1335 BC 11 April 1411 BC | 24 Peret IV Year 5 | Inspired Akhetaten to found city of Akhet-Aten |
| New Moon New Moon | 2 March 1334 BC 1 April 1410 BC | 13 Peret IV Year 6 | Boundary Stelae of Akhet-Aten First lunar anniversary of eclipse |
| Full Moon Full Moon | 26 November 1333 BC 26 December 1409 BC | 8 Peret I year 8 | Boundary Stelae of Akhet-Aten Repetition of Oath |
| Total Eclipse Total Eclipse | 30 December 1332 BC 29 January 1407 BC | 12 Peret II Year 9 | Death Akhet-Aten |
Likewise, the solar eclipses in the Chinese Classics after Joshua's long day, from the beginning day of 60 and year of 60, on the new moon January 26, 2636 BC, occur on the correct day and year of cycle 60.
All was controlled allowing the long days and leaving no trace. All lunar eclipse speculations do not match king Wan's 35th year on day 13 of 60. Even September 23, 1205 BC was day 13 of cycle 60.
However, the emphasis king Wan made was that there was a lunar eclipse on day 13 and not the full moon on day 15, but this was day 13 of cycle 60, and lunar day 15. Thus king Wan suggested this was a sun miracle, omen for him, king Wan, to become emperor. The sun may have moved on day 13 of cycle 60, May 9, 1206 BC half an orbit, half a year, after the sun miracle November 1207 BC. Thus, lunar eclipses do not occur on Chinese day 13, but on Chinese day 15.
Let's do the math: 1500 BC - 1065 BC = 435, 435 X 365.25 = 158883.75 notice the .75, one fraction more and this is day 14 for sure. 158883/60 = 2648.05, .05 X 60 = 3, 3 plus the 29 more days from January 2 to January 31, + 29 leap year, + 13 = 74 - 60 = 14. If the .75 day is not yet leap year, then this is still day 14 because the day begins with sunset.
The lunar eclipse date March 13, 1065 BC was on day 14 of 60 not because that year was leap year and the day following was day 15, but because the day 14 started at sunset the night of the lunar eclipse. The day was counted from sunset. So the night of March 13, 1065 BC is day 14, not day 13. 1065 BC is way off from the actual 35th year of king Wan.
Perhaps King Wan's dream was February 5, 1239 BC one year after the battle of Merom, February 4, 1240 BC in Joshua 11 and the battle of Deborah and Barak in Judges 4 and 5.
Judges 5:23 "Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty."
Meroz may be Merom. Thus, Judges 4, 5, probably equal Joshua 11.
Judges 5:19 "The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money."
Judges 5 is a poem following the victory in Judges 4.
The waters of Megiddo may also be where the waters of Merom were.
See Jabin the king of Hazor is mentioned both in Joshua 11:1 and Judges 4:2, 4:7, 4:17, 4:23, 4:24:
Joshua 11:1 "And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
Judges 4:2 "And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles."
Judges 4:7 "And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand."
Judges 4:17 "Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite."
Judges 4:23 "So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
4:24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan."
Gideon's battle against Midian was either Joshua's long day or at Israel crossing the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC:
Habakkuk 3:7 "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble."
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
3:12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger."
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow p.143, The Chinese Classics.
The sun must have moved back from Virgo in February 5, 1239 BC 180° to Pisces that night. The earth continued to revolve so Fang/Scorpius set in six hours with the sun in the west. Six more hours, the sun still in the west and coming to a final stop, the sun would be in Aquarius/Pisces, a complete 180°. Then six more hours that night, Scorpius would rise in the east. Thus, "The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas." Because Saturn and Jupiter would still be in Scorpius and not have time to complete 180° from Scorpius to Taurus. Because Saturn could not travel faster than the speed of light. Even there would be a time delay for light reflected from the sun from Saturn to reach earth.
Thus, in that long sunset/night Scorpius would rise above before sunrise, and Saturn at least still appear in Scorpius: "The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas."
"all the spirits are whistled away" may refer to the wind created by the sun standing still, and heat, to the west of China. Wind and earthquakes are often mentioned in connection with sun miracles. The wind may also be divine power whereby "the powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away."
Joshua's long day must have been Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, one and a half an orbits earlier instead of half an orbit earlier than king Wan's dream.
Isaiah 45:6 "That they may know from the rising of the sun and from the shading, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."
Isaiah 59:19 "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the shading, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
Joshua's victory August 10, 1241 BC, may be connected to Jesus standing up to speak from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on the same day of the year, not at the beginning of the seventh month = August 28, 29 AD Rosh Hashanah, but on a jubile year the New Year began on the 10th day of the seventh month, Friday night the sabbath, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD on Yom Kippur.
More likely Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
Jesus' real name is Joshua meaning Salvation. If you want Salvation come to Gospel Meeting.
These are hard cold facts and calculations. Even without the Missing Day Story the dates and calculations are the same. Then NASA's statement, that "this calculation would not cover any time before the present", when the event in Joshua 10:13 can be dated from such a lunar eclipse: September 23, 1205 BC king Wan's 35th year, China includes the current year in their counting, from February 5, 1239 BC, is defeated and this calculation covers time before and after Joshua's long day. You can do the calculation yourself.
If the sun moved back February 5, 1239 BC then the sun first moved to the other side of earth two years earlier, February 4, 1241 BC.
If you have a globe you can simulate this. Move the sun to the other side of the globe. Now shift earth's axis by twisting the base to keep the same incline of the sun to earth.
Now, half an orbit later you can shift the globe back by the same amount, the sun move back and the sun's inclination to earth is the same and earth can flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Only except for at the equinoxes there is a slight inequality of the number of days of the half orbit and half of a year. Even at the equinoxes there is a difference of missing time between the two half reverse orbits because earth's orbit is elliptical.
Thus, with several days difference, 188 days to 177 days = 365 days, this accounts for the missing 40 minutes in the 24 hour day applied to the half orbit. Earth did not shift, the sun moved up or down after moving to the other side of earth. Neverless, this allows the sun to move back and forth at the half orbit point. Even the planets can equally move back and forth 180° at the half orbit point and be where we would expect them at that time and position in the sky although the background stars are all different.
Thus, you can see the sun moving at the half orbit point, perhaps travelling 360° east on Joshua's long day of 24 more hours, in the seventh month, the 21st day = Saturday the Sabbath, for Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC = earth continuing in the reverse orbit of the sun.
Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, half an orbit after February 4, 1241 BC, and one and a half orbits later king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Then to keep an even net 48 hours of long days that reverse orbit year, the sun must move with earth's rotation 4 X 180°, 4 X 12 hours.
There are many possibilities of sun miracles at each six month interval that adds up to 48 hours of long days in a reverse orbit year.
Or, the sun stand still at noon for 12 hours, February 4, 1241 BC, the sun stand still for 24 hours, on Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC, and the sun stand still at noon again for 12 hours for the battle of Merom, February 4, 1240 BC.
Only, there needs to be one more year of a reverse orbit to king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, where the sun must stand still at noon again for 12 hours. Leaving 36 more hours of long days - perhaps 12 hours February 4, 1240 BC, and 24 hours, again on August 10, 1240 BC. These equal 48 hours of long days and 48 hours of long days in two reverse orbit years.
The lunar eclipse on day 56, August 29, 1352 BC, was during King Wuding's reign further confirming the chronology of king Wen's first year in 1240 BC. "This was (August) the 12th month was the month of the Yin calendar. It was several months slower than our current calendar."
Xueshun Liu
Thus, the full moon of September 23, 1205 BC was the first month in this Yin calendar. However, the record describes the first month of spring April 26, 1206 BC.
"After seven days, at the time from jiwei (day 56) to gengshen (day 57), the moon was eclipsed." was wrongly given the date August 14, 1166 BC. August 14 was day 57. Between day 56 and day 57 was the eclipse. Thus, for this to be the correct eclipse this should read between day 57 and day 58 the moon was eclipsed.
August 12, 1269 BC was on day 54 with .75 of a day so could be day 55. Xueshun Liu emailed me that it was a possibility because the night began with day 56. This eclipse may not have been visible from Anyang according to NASA's Lunar Eclipse Canon. Neither was this day the right day.
The lunar eclipse on August 29, 1352 BC was on day 56. This meets all requirements because between day 56 and day 57 was the lunar eclipse. So the night of August 29 day 56 was the eclipse then sunrise on day 57.
The Bamboo Book chronology adding two 60 year cycles to Wu in 1050 BC to Wu in 1174 BC: Thus, you see Wuding/Woo-ting from 1393 BC to 1334 BC. That is the nine years added at the end of Wuding's reign 50 years + 9 years, should just read 50 years from 1393 BC to 1343 BC.
Wanting/Wending reigned from 1251 BC or 1250 BC. Thus, Wending's 12th year 1239 BC = the phoenixes on mount K'e of king Wan's dream = February 5, 1239 BC.
Wending is supposed to be 1123 BC + 120 years = 1243 BC, but back from Wu's first year in 1174 BC + 52 + 9 + 15 = 1251 BC, or rather 1250 BC, = Wending's 12th year, counting the current year, in 1239 BC = king Wan's first year February 5, 1239 BC, back from king Wan's 35th year at the lunar eclipse, day 13 of cycle 60, of September 23, 1205 BC. Thus, 7 years must be added backwards to previous reigns, at least a few kings back.
The phoenixes are the angels, the sun angel that moves the sun, and the moon angel that moves the moon.
At the same time: "In his, (King Wanting/Wending) 12th year (from 1250 BC), phoenxes collected on mount K'e." = king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
The missing 8 years may simply be the 9 more years of Woo-ting, from 50 to 59. Then years of 60 back from Woo-ting's first year should match the actual year = 1393 BC. Then also, Wu's first year 1174 BC - 6 years to 1168 BC - Ching's first year; is recorded 1043 BC + 120 years.
Perhaps a missing 5 years; thus the adjustment of 8 years from Woo-ting.
Woo-ting reigned 50 years, not 59 years, the 9 years adjustment continuing to an adjustment of 5 years to emperor Ching.
Then Wending in 1123 BC should be 8 more years + the 120 years = from March 4, 1250 BC.
The 9 more years of Woo-ting from 50 to 59 be a mistake and may equal this same 8 more years. Thus, Woo-ting may have reigned just 50 years.
From Yu to Kwei are 471 years of the Hea dynasty. But T'ang began the Shang dynasty in his 18th year. So from Yu in 2169 BC - 471 years = 1698 BC; 20 more years 1678 BC. Thus from Yu to T'ang are 490 years. 490 years is a biblical number 49 X 10 and is seen from the wall of Jerusalem in the 20th year of Xerxes to Jesus' sacrifice; from 458 BC to 33 AD = 490 years (no year zero). This 1678 BC may begin the 400 years of slavery of the children of Israel in Egypt to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
From Yu in 2169 BC 490 years to Shang in 1679 BC.
By King Kung in 906 BC, 51 of cycle 60, the year of 60 matches. Even the King before King Kung reigned 60 years not 50, from 967 BC to this 906 BC. Thus, the keeping of the cycle 60 years and 60 days continued from Huangdi's 20th year, January 26, 2636 BC, but the records were misrecorded by several years for several hundred years.
King Muh reigned 59 years back from this 906 BC, from 966 BC. Thus, both sun miracles 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = the sun omen for the Chinese to change emperors. Again a sun miracle in 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC.
"In his 9th year, in the spring, on the day ting-hae (24th of cycle), the King made Leang, the recorder of the interior, convey a Charge to Ts'een, baron of Maou."
Chinese Classics. p.151.
In 899 BC the 24th of cycle 60 was on the first month should be the new moon, February 20, 899 BC = a 49 jubile year. Ts'een may be Sagittarius and Maou may be Taurus six months and 180° apart. This may be a sun miracle, the sun moving 180° from Sagittarius to Taurus.
There is a super moon from a full moon to a full moon = January 26, 1948 AD to November 14, 2016 AD = almost 69 years. Then a sun miracle, perhaps from a new super moon to a new super moon, when King Muh became emperor in the spring of the new moon of May 3, 968 BC to the new moon on February 20, 899 BC may equal this lunar cycle, and the lunar tides of the super moon that would be expected may hide the tides created by moving the sun and moon on those days = new moon = solar and lunar tides together.
Probably not a super moon in 968 BC, yet from new moon like full moon = the sun and moon on either side, or the sun on one side and the moon on the other; both creating a double tide = the same 68.8 year cycle, and perhaps the double tide hiding the sun miracles.
The dates recorded in the Bamboo Books seem to have been changed, so that the length of a reign of a King overriden the year of cycle 60, making many of the following reigns out by the same 8 or 5 years. Even, Wu's first year was changed to 1049 BC just to fit the lunar calendar then. Wu's first year was 1174 BC = + 120 years + 5 years to 1049 BC."
Wu is given 1046 BC to 1043 BC. By coincedence astromical records match 1046 BC. 128 years further back is 1174 BC. 120 years + 8 years.
1."A quotation in the Book of Han from the lost Wǔchéng 武成 chapter of the Book of Documents appears to describe a lunar eclipse just before the beginning of King Wu's campaign. This date, and the date of his victory, are given as months and sexagenary days.[23][24]"
2."A passage in the Guoyu gives the positions of the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and two stars on the day King Wu attacked the Shang.[22][24]"
3."The "current text" Bamboo Annals mentions conjunctions of all five planets occurring before and after the Zhou conquest. Han-period texts mention the first conjunction as occurring in the 32nd year of the reign of the last king. Such events are rare, but all five planets did gather on 28 May 1059 BC and again on 26 September 1019 BC. Although the recorded positions in the sky of these two events are the reverse of what occurred, they could not have been retrospectively calculated at the time the account first appears.[25]"
"The only date within that range matching all the astronomical data is 20 January 1046 BC."
Wikipedia
1. Here is a lunar eclipse for January 19, 1174 BC on day 48 of cycle 60. "The book of Documents appears to describe a lunar eclipse just before the beginning of King Wu's campaign." Nevertheless, the last waning of the new moon on day 29 of cycle 60, January 1, 1174 BC, not a full moon, is recorded.
"Lo! fire came down from heaven and rested over Wang uh, gradually floating away into a red bird, with a stalk of grain in its beak. The grain was in commemoration of the virtue of prince Tseih; the fire was an auspicious response from heaven to the burnt offering of the fish.
Woo then went eastward and attacked Show, whom he vanquished in the the widerness of Muh."
The Chinese Classics. p.144.
The red bird may be like a blood red lunar eclipse before Wu atttacked Show. Nevertheless, a sun miracle is indicated here.
2. Jupiter was recorded to be in the Quail Fire constellation Leo / Libra = 1174 BC.
3. God may have moved the five planets to the other side of the earth to appear in conjunction when he moved the sun, like He did on king Wan's dream.
Chinese dates were changed in many places to make them fit into a wrong chronology.
Likewise the Bible dates were changed in many places, to make four generations in Egypt instead of 40 generations. To make the duration of the Sojourn in Egypt 430 years instead of from the 430th Egyptian Sothis year. To make the period of Judges 300 years before Jephthah instead of 90 years. Likewise, both the Bible and the Chinese Classics had their dates deliberately manipulated.
| Woo-ting | 1393 BC | |
| Tsoo-kang | 1343 BC | |
| Tsoo-keah | 1332 BC | |
| Fung-sin | 1296 BC | |

"In the first month, the day jin-shin immediately followed the end of the moon's waning."
- the year Woo/Wu became emperor.
March 1, 1174 BC is day 29 and is the last waning of the moon. Importantly this day 29 of cycle 60 March 1, 1174 is when the moon was just becoming invisible a few days before it passed the sun.
60 days earlier is Tuesday, January 1, 1174 BC also day 29 of cycle 60. Then, also day 37 in the fourth month may also be July 7, 1174 BC - 186 days later. Thus, the sun may move to the other side of earth January 1, 1174 BC, and the sun move back half an orbit later, July 7, 1174 BC = the fourth month from March.
Pentecost is 50 days after the Passover. The Passover is supposed to be spring, such as at Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC; 1281 BC / 128 years = 10 days, means the spring equinox on March 30, 1281 BC in the Julian calendar = March 20 today in the Gregorian calendar. The Chinese began spring 45 days before the spring equinox, and begin summer 45 days before the summer solstice. 45 + 45 = 90 days = 3 months. Then a sun miracle on Pentecost would be on the fifth day of the fourth month that began summer.
The other date of day 29 January 27, 1122 BC the moon is appearing as a new moon. If it is now visible as a new moon how is it the last waning of the moon? Likewise 60 days later, March 26, 1122 BC, the moon is visible as a new moon also.
1050 BC cannot be the first year of Emperor Wu. Two cycles of 60 years are missing as is given in the text of the Chinese Classics. Wu is 120 years further back. 1122 BC cannot be the first year of the Zhou dynasty. Then Emperor Wu must have become emperor of China in 1174 BC.
There was a new moon on Bingshen day 53 in Wu's first year as emperor. Fourth month, May 19, 1173 BC was the new moon on day 53. This would be Wu's thirteenth year when the kingdom became established.
Jupiter was recorded to be in the Quail Fire constellation Leo just before Wu became emperor. Thus, Jupiter is in Virgo/Leo in 1045 BC/1046 BC. Thus, man has got the date of Wu's conquest wrong. Wu became emperor of China in 1173 BC not 1045 BC. Jupiter was in the Quail Fire constellation between Hydrae and Crateris in 1177 BC in Wu's ninth year from his father king Wan's death in 1186 BC. The sun passed through Hydrae and Crateris in September 1177 BC, with Jupiter appearing there before September and then after September. Then there was a sun miracle in Wu's ninth year as well:
"When King Wu was crossing the Ho, a white fish jumped into his boat in midstream. King Wu bent down and picked it up to use as a sacrifice. After crossing, there was a fire which came down which came down from above to the roof of the king's residence and transformed into a raven. Its colour was ochre. Its call went "P'o-p'o-p'o". At this time the feudal lords who met at Meng-chin without any prearrangement numbered eight hundred. The feudal lords all said, "Chow can be chastised!" King Wu said, "You do not know the heavenly mandate. He cannot be chastised as yet." Then he withdrew his troops and went home." 1177 BC.
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume 1, p.60.
It was given his 3rd year as Emperor was the appointment of Heaven. The battle in 1174 BC was the 23rd of cycle 60 years. This may be from 1173 BC to the bright appointment of heaven in the 28th year of cycle 60 years, 1170 BC.
Wu's 3rd year should be 1172 BC = 50 year jubiles, 24 X 50, 1200 years, to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
"In his 12th year the king led the tribes of the west and the princes to attack Yin, and defeated Show in the wilderness of Muh. He took with his own hand Show prisoner in the tower of Nan-tan; and entered into the participation of the bright appointment of Heaven (sun moon), setting up to continue the sacrifices of his ancestors, Luh-foo, the son of Show, known as Woo-kang. In summer, in the fourth month, he returned to Fung and sacrificed in the ancestral temple."
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, the Dynasty of Chow, p44
"At dawn of the chia-tzu day of the second month, King Wu arrived in the morning at Mu-yeh." And Wu defeated Chow.
The Zhou dynasty lasted from 1174 BC to 256 BC = 918 years.
You can compare the dates for Wu for 1045 BC and see the same matches for Wu here in 1174 BC. Thus, there are 120 years missing of the reigns of emperors in China. The correct date for Wu is 1174 BC, not 1045 BC.
"On day jiazi [1], the sun and moon were linked like jade annuluses and the five planets were like linked pearls. In the morning King Wu reached Muye on the outskirts of Shang and followed Heaven's [command] in punishing [King] Zhou [of Shang]. Hence the blades of the weapons were not bloodied and all under Heaven was pacified."
[Xin lun] zhong. East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Clusters of Multiple Planets, p.241.
Thus, again the five planets were moved in conjunction out of the way of the sun.
Here you can see in these five pages of the Chinese Classics almost all of James Legge's questions answered here on this page.
Jupiter would appear a month earlier each year instead of a month later each year, when earth was in a reverse orbit and Jupiter continued in its normal orbit.
You can see above the year 2127 BC for the solar eclipse of Chung K'ang in his fifth year from 2131 BC. There are no solar eclipses on any of these dates meaning this may be a sun miracle instead.
The sun miracle in 2127 BC was 7 years before the 49 year jubile in 2120 BC. The sun miracle = the sun rose in the west and set in the east February 9, 3307 BC, two weeks before Noah entered the ark in 3307 BC, was 7 years before the 49 year jubile in 3300 BC.
"When King Wu [of Zou] conquered King Zhou [of Shang], a broom star appeared and tendered its handle to Yin."
[Huainanzi] ch. 15. East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Comet Halley, p.110.
"A broom star appeared and tendered its handle to Yin" in 1174 BC, could be like emperor Wu motioning his spear toward the setting sun, perhaps a sun miracle when he won the battle and the kingdom of China in January of 1174 BC.
Tuesday, January 1, 1174 BC is day 29 of cycle 60 the last waning of the moon = the new moon on the day of this battle. Then, also day 37 in the fourth month may also be July 7, 1174 BC - 186 days later. Thus, the sun may move to the other side of earth January 1, 1174 BC, and the sun move back half an orbit later, July 7, 1174 BC = the fourth month from March.
Both Wu's victory on January 1, 1174 BC and Lu Yang's victory on January 27, 464 BC, occurred in January. Both times Wu and Lu Yang pointed their spear to the setting sun.
There was a like sun miracle as there was for Lu Yang, perhaps in 464 BC, when the setting sun reversed three stalls. This is Luh-ch'ing who succeeded his father Tan-chih in 464 BC. The sun may have moved with earth's rotation to give the Jews more light on the 13th and 14th of Adar when they avenged themselves in Esther. This date may be the 13th day of the Hebrew 12th month of Adar, Saturday, January 9, 465 BC and Sunday January 10, 465 BC, or February 26, 464 BC, the 12th year of Xerxes/Ahasuerus of Esther from 477 BC. Or this may be Friday, January 27, 464 BC = Friday/Saturday/Sunday = Adar 13,14,15.
King Ching Ting was emperor from 467 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Lu Yang may be Luh Ch'ing the viscount in 465 BC when also the comet Halley appeared. There was a sun miracle the bright appointment of Heaven for Wu in 1174 BC = 707 years to 467 BC.
A comet may have appeared such as comet Halley appeared in 467 BC. Lu Yang was compared to emperor Wu.
Lu Yang swung his spear at the setting sun, possibly also at a comet. Lu Yang may be emperor King Yuen who died in battle in his 7th year in 467 BC.
"In his (King Yuen) seventh year (467 BC), the people of Ts'e and of Ch'ing, attacked Wei. The king died."
The Chinese Classics, p.167.
Lu Yang also was in battle when he motioned to the setting sun and a comet also with his spera. The comet Halley seen in Greece in 467 BC = even 76 year orbits back from 12 BC and 240 BC; may have been this comet of Lu Yang that was similar to the comet of emperor Wu also in battle, and also "the bright appointment of Heaven" = a sun miracle, like when the sun rose in the east for Lu Yang and passed through three solar mansions.
On the new moon, day 1 of cycle 60, April 1, 1174 BC - the Passover month, Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD:
The Passover one year later would be on April 3, 1173 BC.
"On day jiazi, 1, the sun and moon were like linked jade annuluses and the five planets were like linked pearls. In the morning twilight at dawn King Wu reached Muye on the outskirts of Shang and followed Heaven's command in punishing king Zhou of Shang. Hence the blades of the weapons were not bloodied and all under Heaven was pacified."
East Asian Archaeology, p.241.
On the way west from Changsha to ChangNing, about a 3 hour drive, on the right there was a sign "Lu Yang" in English. Thus, probably was the site where Lu Yang witnessed the sun rising in the west. The land is almost flat, with lots of trees. Thus, the sun would rise in the west near the horizon at Lu Yang.
Esther 3:7 "In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar."
Esther 9:1 "Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)"
This 12th year of Xerxes from October 477 BC or October 478 BC, the 12th month Adar, should be February of 465 BC or February of 466 BC or the February of 467 BC = the first year of emperor King Ching-Ting in the spring of 467 BC.
465 BC was seven years before the 49 year jubile in 458 BC = 490 years before Jesus' sacrifice. Thus, 465 BC could be the seventh year of release. The sun would have been in Sagittarius, Kow-ts'een, the 11th month = the 11th month in China. The fourth year 11th month of the emperor of China from 467 BC could be in February of 463 BC. February 16, 463 BC was the full moon and day 13 of the twelveth lunar month in Israel = Purim of Esther.
The 12th month of Xerxes from October 477 BC may be 465 BC or 464 BC. Or from October of 478 BC Xerxes' 12th year may be February of 467 BC. The 12th month of Adar may have been the 11th month in China = Luh Ch'ing = Lu Yang, when the sun rose in the west and retreated three stalls for Lu Yang.
Thus, the sun reversing three stalls may be the sun moving back to Sagittarius the 11th month in China. However, 458 BC was the 10th year of the emperor of China from 467 BC when Luh Ch'ing - probably Lu Yang - died in battle. The cleansing of the altar by Nehemiah.
Nevertheless, Purim in Esther = the sun rising in the west to the meridian on Lu Yang.
The year 465 BC / 464 BC = the 4th year of King Ching Ting from 467 BC = the 12th year of Xerxes from 477 BC = 465 BC. The 11th month in China from spring = the 12th month of Shushan / Israel. When Tan-chih died and was succeeded by his on Luh-Ch'ing. May mean Tan-chih died at battle and Luh-Ch'ing succeeded him = Lu Yang who swung his spear at the setting sun, and the sun at noon in Shushan on the 13th of Adar, and the sun retreated from the noon position to the dawn position when the Jews got the victory = light and gladness = the sun rising in the west on China passing 3 of 12 constellations of the zodiac = passing from the west to the meridian on China.
Actually, the noon day sun on Shushan would be a 11 AM sun on Israel and China see the sun rise in the west even more.
The 13th of Adar may be Sunday, February 26, 464 BC.
The sun moving back would then be on the 25th day of the month Adar, January 9, 464 BC. Thus, the moon may have set before the sun. The sun may have rose in the west the Saturday Jesus was in the grave to set in the east and suddenly rise in the east on Jesus' resurrection.
Joshua's long day on the last quarter moon of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC, and half a year later the battle of Merom February 4, 1240 BC on the third quarter moon also, and king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC on the first quarter moon. The fall of Jericho, although not a sun miracle, has to have been, February 17, 1241 BC on the last quarter moon
This may be the sun moving to the other side of earth, May 8, 1175 BC, the chia-tzu day - last quarter moon, rising before the sun in the second month. Then one year later the sun must move back, in sixth day of the third month - the sun miracle that day beginning the month on the fourth month, May 8, 1174 BC.
Or, the sun may move July 7, 1175 BC, January 1, 1174 BC, and July 7, 1174 BC = all at half orbit points.
In Wu's 28th of cycle year in the Bamboo Annals = 1170 BC when the vassals resubmitted was the new moon fourth month cyclical date was day 37 of cycle 60, April 17, 1170 BC. Thus, they submitted because four years earlier, they were defeated. Perhaps there was the appointment of Heaven, a sun miracle in Israel on the new moon April 17, 1170 BC, the 37th day of 60 in China.
Likewise his first year was counted as year 24. 1174 BC was the 24th year of cycle 60 form 2636 BC.
"Even more striking is the '23rd-year' record in the 'Feng bao' chapter, mistakenly included among entries concerning King Wen's reign." This 23rd year should be the 23rd year of cycle 60 = 1175 BC. Thus, Wu was 12 years a king from his father's death in 1186 BC to become emperor of China in 1174 BC.
From 1186 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is 1218 years = 7 X 174 years.
There was 100 years from this 1186 BC to King David being made King over all of Israel in 1084 BC.
You can do the math: From day one, January 26, 2636 - 1170 = 1466, 1466 X 365.25 = 535456.5, drop the remainder, 535456/60 = 8924.2466, .2466 X 60 = 16. + January 26, + 5 = January 31 + 28 + 31 + 17 = 97 - 60 = day 37.
There may have been a sun miracle on March 30, 1281 BC the Exodus, on a day 37, gengzi day, that became an omen for the day 37 new moon April 17, 1170 BC for emperor Wu. The character for sun and moon are together indicating the new moon on this day 37 of cycle 60 = April 17, 1170 BC. Just as there may have been an omen for Wending on day 53 Bingchen, the total eclipse of March 4, 1250 BC and day 53, May 19, 1173 BC for emperor Wu.
The Bamboo Books do not refer to the name emperor Wu, only to the recipient of the Mandate from Heaven from the portent April 17, 1170 BC. Thus, there probably was a sun miracle that day.
You can see the new moon on day one of 60, year one of 60, in the Chinese new year of January/February. Which also began on the day of a sun miracle = phoenixes and sacrifice in China. Then half an orbit later August 2, 2636 BC on the 10th day of the seventh month, the sun may move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. And the sun move again and earth flow into a reverse orbit again. Then one year later January 27, 2635 BC, the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit, on the 10th day of the first month.
Joshua 6:15 "And it happened on the seventh day, they rose early, at the dawning of the day, and went around the city seven times."
6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city."
This February 17, 1241 BC would mark the 50th year and jubile and the trumpet. The 49th year, 7 X 7, being 1242 BC. 50 year jubiles to the captivity September 7, 591 BC, 70 year captivity, from 521 BC 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, in Luke 4.
Thus, the first day of the first month be January 27, 1241 BC. The day at the end of the third week be February 17, 1241 BC and the trumpet.
H7925 שָׁכַם shâkam shaw-kam' A primitive root; properly to incline (the shoulder to a burden); but used only as denominative from H7926; literally to load up (on the back of man or beast), that is, to start early in the morning: - (arise, be up, get [oneself] up, rise up) early (betimes), morning. Total KJV occurrences: 65
H5927 עָלָה ‛âlâh aw-law' A primitive root; to ascend, intransitively (be high) or active (mount); used in a great variety of senses, primary and secondary, literally and figuratively: - arise (up). (cause to) ascend up, at once, break [the day] (up), bring (up), (cause to) burn, carry up, cast up, + shew, climb (up), (cause to, make to) come (up), cut off, dawn, depart, exalt, excel, fall, fetch up, get up, (make to) go (away, up), grow (over), increase, lay, leap, levy, lift (self) up, light, [make] up, X mention, mount up, offer, make to pay, + perfect, prefer, put (on), raise, recover, restore, (make to) rise (up), scale, set (up), shoot forth (up), (begin to) spring (up), stir up, take away (up), work. Total KJV occurrences: 890
H7925 means to load up early. The same word also means shoulders. Thus, the sun rising above the shoulders of the mountains in the east. H7837* is the word Ayin Lamed, which means to rise above to the point of declining. It can also mean God, El. The letter in front is Bet which means from. The next word H7837 is actually a different word and means to dawn.
Thus, the sun rising above the mountains, in the west, is now directly from above and declining to the east. Thus, this means a sudden "dawn". Also, the sun should proceed naturally to set in the west. The mountain shed a shadow over the town of Jericho on the summer solstice. The February 8, position of the sun 180° later, in the setting mountains to the northwest, may have been like the August 15, position until the sun moved down to keep earth in the same season.
Thus, the conquered city which may have been in awe of the solstice shadow may again be in awe when Israel crossed the Jordan in front of them and there be a long day February 5, 1241 BC.
That day the sun may have set in the east and suddenly rose in the east.
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
Likewise, for Gideon the sun may have set in the east, and then suddenly rise in the east = "before the sun was up" = "before the sun ascended"
On the resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, the sun setting in the west over this mountain may have cast a shadow over Jericho because the sun had not yet moved down while it was moving to the other side of earth. The sun in a direct path would sail high above Jericho near the summer solstice position point as it had moved more than 90° by sunset to complete 180° before Monday sunrise.
Thus, the shadow of this mount of Temptation, could fall on Jericho. This mountain may have been the mount of Temptation when Jesus fasted forty days and was victorious over Satan on Yom Kippur, the 10th day of the 7th month, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD at the New Year = Yom Kippur on a jubile year.
However, the sun must have moved to the other side of the earth for a long day at the crossing of the River Jordan two weeks earlier on February 4, 1241 BC, and not February 17, 1241 BC. So, there would not be another sun miracle for six months, till Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC.
Likewise, Joshua rose up early also on the day the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan:
Joshua 3:1 "And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over."
Perhaps this was Sunday, the 10th day, February 4, 1241 BC.
Joshua 4:3 "And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night."
"this night" perhaps a long day to let all the children of Israel cross the dry Jordan river. Then perhaps the sun suddenly rose in the east that could be the sun ascended for Gideon in Judges 8:13.
Jesus was victorious over death when the sun may have risen again suddenly in the east.
Thus, the sun may have moved to the other side of the earth February 4, 1241 BC, and not February 17, 1241 BC.
Joshua 12:1 "Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:"
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
"toward the rising of the sun" may refer to the sun suddenly rising in the east on Gideon.
Here you see the mountains to the west of Jericho:
There are clay brick houses next to the wall of Jericho that have lead some to believe Jericho had an inner wall. Nevertheless, in China there is such an ancient city with inner walls. Also, the tower in Jericho is dated to 8000 BC.
This oracle bone may describe the China version of the sun moving at the fall of Jericho, if not the hour of darkness at the Exodus:
"At the time period from the night of the seventh day jisi (day 6) there was (a) big new star that was seen beside Huo Antares."
Heji 11503b
Then this day seven would be the last quarter moon, the last seven days, a chia-tzu day. The last quarter moon would be beside Antares the morning in China in February 4, 1240 BC. Perhaps the sun traveled 180° west. Then Antares may have been appeared directly overhead at sunset/dark in China.
Exodus 12:16 "And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you."
Ezekiel 30:20 "And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
45:20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house."
Before February 5, 1239 BC Jupiter would appear 15° above the sun as the sun set in the west. Jupiter would set one hour after the sun set. Then Jupiter in Pisces would move 180° to Libra. The sun would move 180° from the first part of Pisces to Virgo. Thus, Jupiter, the brightest planet, would appear in Libra beside Antares. Then Jupiter could be the bright new star beside Antares. In February 4, 1240 BC the sun was right beside Mars.
Thus in king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, Jupiter would appear above the setting sun in the west. Thus, all five planets would be visible as they were moved out of the way of the sun on king Wan's dream.
Wuding records a battle commenced by his general Chu late in the day and continued into the early hours of the next chia-tzu. A battle cannot be easily fought in the dark. Possibly this was a record of the sun being moved that provided light to fight.
"Stretching over some six months...A subordinate commander named Chu is then recorded as having prevailed through an attack that commenced late in the day and continued into the early hours of the next, chia-tzu. This clash is noteworthy for having been undertaken so late, perhaps close to dusk, and turning into a night encounter, showing that even though night battles were generally eschewed in antiquity, they sometimes occurrred through happenstance or tacticao acumen."
Ancient Chinese Warfare, Chapter 9, p.166.
Wuding reigned in China from 1393 BC to 1344 BC.
The last quarter moon would rise at midnight before Joshua's long day.
There are at least three possible dates for Gideon's battle in Judges 6. 7 and 8. The night and day Israel crossed the Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC. The night and day - Joshua's long day, when Joshua went up all night to Gibeon. Or, the battle of Merom in Joshua 11, about six months after Joshua's long day. The battle of Merom should be February 4, 1240 BC.
Here are examples of the children of Israel fighting at night. There are some records of the sun coming out at night. Thus, the sun may have rose in the west, stood still for 24 hours at noon, set in the east. Then the sun suddenly and brilliantly ascend in the east.
Joshua 10:9 "Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night."
Romans 13:12 "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."
Joshua at Gilgal should have been aware of Gideon, and Gideon's plan to attack that very night. Then, Joshua may have asked God to make the moon stand still over Ajloun in Jordan by Penuel and Succoth where Gideon chased the Midianites that day, Joshua's long day.
Judges 7:19 "So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands."
Judges 4:14 "And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."
Psalm 139:12 "Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."
Gideon may have attacked the day Joshua and Israel crossed the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC. Israel may have already been in the land in northern Israel. Samaria has a different history of origin.
Perhaps Gideon crossed the river Jordan below the heap of water that stopped the river that day.
More likely Gideon crossed on the still waters from the dam of water backed up when Israel crossed the Jordan on dry land.
Then, the Midianites were caught at the torrent of the flood water of the river Jordan upstream, and could not cross.
Any combination of sun movements may explain the sun moving to the other side of earth, and two years later to the day, February 5, 1239 BC, the sun must have moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit, for king Wan's dream.
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.
2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger."
Here is a picture taken of the fields of Bethlehem about the same September 13 as Jesus was born, that is about September 18, 2010.
The middle watch is midnight. The sun may have risen suddenly in the west at midnight for Gideon, and to give light for Joshua to climb up to Gibeon. The significance may have been the sun suddenly rising at midnight when Jesus was born, the Light of Life.
John 9:4 "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
This battle that appears to be fought at night, at the middle watch of midnight, may have been fought at sunrise in the west at midnight. It is nigh to impossible to fight a battle in the dark.
Thus, this oracle bone if describing the possible sun miracle of February 5, 1239 BC, should not state a bright new star was seen beside Mars, which is red like the fire star Antares Huo, unless Mars did not move in unison with the sun. Nevertheless, if the sun suddenly moved and left Mars and Jupiter behind, Jupiter could appear beside Mars.
Archaeological digs at Jericho have not found a layer of habitation for 1241 BC. Although they did for the city of Hazor for 1240 BC, which Joshua burned to the ground. God may not have left anything of Jericho that wicked city.
"However, recent reexamination of these earlier findings, and a closer look at current evidence indicates that not only there was there a city that fits the biblical chronology, but that its remains coincide with the biblical account of the destruction of this walled fortress. In a paper published in Biblical Archaeology Review (March/April, 1990) Bryant G. Wood, visiting professor to the department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Toronto, has presented evidence that the biblical report is accurate."
1. was strongly fortified
2. was attacked after spring harvest
3. the inhabitants did not flee
4. the seige was short
5. the walls were leveled
6. the city was not plunderd
7. the city was burned
The Big Book of Bible Difficulties, 1992. Joshua, p.136.
Likewise God may not have left anything of Sodom or Gomorrah. Nevertheless, the date of this destruction at the Dead Sea is before 2300 BC, probably 2500 BC = between 2600 BC and 2350 BC. Abraham was 99 years old in 2508 BC when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. This was one event. Thus there can only be one date for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Numeira ruins are here, on the Jordan side, this south side of the Dead Sea. Here you can see the south of the Dead Sea most likely where Sodom was. To the left was also Zoar:
The Dead Sea is shallow in the south end. Sodom may have been below the waters of the Dead Sea. Nevertheless, archaeology has uncovered Sodom. Here you see Sodom at the south end of the Dead Sea:
Here you can see the north of the Dead Sea. This view is from Mount Nebo:
Deuteronomy 34:1 "And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,"
34:2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
34:3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar."
From Mount Nebo you can see directly south, the south end of the Dead Sea where Zoar was to the south east.
Jerusalem is directly across the Jordan Valley. The sky line appears very majestic! The mountain top to the upper right should be about where the Mount of Olives before Jerusalem is.
Thus, if this destruction at the Dead Sea is one and the same, it occurred at the same time. Then there is only one date for the destruction of Sodom, 2508 BC.
Thus, 2600 BC is 100 years too early and 2350 BC is 150 years to recent, 2067 BC is 441 years too recent. The flood that destroyed the Botai people in Kazakhstan is dated to 3100 BC. Nevertheless, if this event was Noah's flood, likewise the correct date may be 200 years further back = 3307 BC in keeping with the Armenian sothis year 600 and the 27th jubilee five weeks fifth year in the Ancient Book of Jubilees.
The eruption of Thera may date Ahmose I to 1680 BC = Ahmose I, 22nd year in 1659 BC, dating Ahmose I back 130 years from their Egyptian chronology of 1550 BC. Likewise, the Botai people who domesticated the horse were swept away when the river flooded, that was dated to 3115 BC, may be Noah's flood in 3307 BC, 190 years further back.
The Storm Stella, The Tempest Stele from Wikipedia, in Pharaoh Ahmose I's 22nd year:
(7) ... ...the gods expressed
(8) their discontent... The gods (made?) the sky come with a tempest of (rain?); it caused darkness in the Western region; the sky was
(9) unleashed, without ... ... more than the roar of the crowd; ... was powerful... on the mountains more than the turbulence of the
(10) cataract which is at Elephantine. Each house, ... each shelter (or each covered place) that they reached...
(11)... were floating in the water like the barks of papyrus (on the outside?) of the royal residence for... day(s)...
(12) with no one able to light the torch anywhere. Then His Majesty said 'How these (events) surpass the power of the great god and the wills of the divinities!' And His Majesty descended
(13) in his boat, his council following him. The (people were?) at the east and the west, silent, for they had no more clothes (?) on them...
(14) after the power of the god was manifested. Then His Majesty arrived in Thebes ... this statue; it received what it had desired.
(15) His Majesty set about to strengthen the Two Lands, to cause the water to evacuate without (the aid of) his (men?), to provide them with silver,
(16) with gold, with copper, with oil, with clothing, with all the products they desired; after which His Majesty rested in the palace – life, health, strength.
(17) It was then that His Majesty was informed that the funerary concessions had been invaded (by the water), that the sepulchral chambers had been damaged, that the structures of funerary enclosures had been undermined, that the pyramids had collapsed(?)
(18) all that existed had been annihilated. His Majesty then ordered the repair of the chapels which had fallen in ruins in all the country, restoration of the
(19) monuments of the gods, the re-erection of their precincts, the replacement of the sacred objects in the room of appearances, the re-closing of the secret place, the re-introduction
(20) into their naoi of the statues which were lying on the ground, the re-erection of the fire altars, the replacement of the offering tables back on their feet, to assure them the provision of offerings,
(21) the augmentation of the revenues of the personnel, the restoration of the country to its former state. They carried out everything, as the king had ordered it. [4]
The first year of Chinese emperor T'ae-keah, not in 1539 BC but 120 years earlier, in 1659 BC. Perhaps the eruption of Thera was felt in China and prompted the Chinese to change emperors that year.
"But their descendant did not follow their example, and great Heaven sent down calamities, employing the agency of our ruler, who had recieved its favouring appointment."
The Chinese Classics, The Books of Shang. Book IV. p.194.
Pharaoh Ahmose I is said to have reigned 25 years from 1550 BC to 1525 BC. The Ebers Papyrus records the heliacal rising of Sothis on the 9th, 3rd month, 3rd season as happening on the 9th year of the reign of Amenhotep I.
The Egyptian months match every 19 years. So, the 76 years back from 1205 BC to 1281 BC = the death of pharoah Merneptah. Then a further 55 years are missing = 3 X 19 years = 57 years missing.
The 9th year of Amenhotep should be 1681 BC - 25 - 8 = 1648 BC.
"Short-Lived Samples from Akrotiri (Thera)...resulting in a date between 1664 and 1651 cal BC (20.1% probability)" = about 1659 BC. A 20% probability if true is actually a 100% true.
The eruption of Thera, the Minoan eruption, now called Santorini, may be dated to 1659 BC in Ahmose' 22nd year = Ahmose I becoming Pharaoh in 1681 BC = 400 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
Dating the eruption of Santorini archealogically back 76 years. Thus, Ahmose I reigned not from 1550 BC or 1605 BC but from 1681 BC. That is 130 years further back from 1550 BC to Ahmose I first year 1681 BC.
Not in the range of 1611 BC to 1538 BC; but 47 years further back to the eruption of Santorini in 1658 BC.
100 years, one century, back from 1550 BC is this 1658 BC. The date of the eruption of Santorini is 1650 BC = 1658 BC.
Likewise the date of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorah; dates: "Numeira was destroyed in 2600 BC at a different time period than Bab edh-Dhra (2350-2067 BC)" Wikipedia. The destruction is one date. Abraham was 100 in 2507 BC, so the destruction of Sodom has to be 2508 BC. This is 100 years more recent than 2600 BC and more than 200 years more further back than a date between 2350 BC - 2067 BC. Thus, the flood may be one date also.
"In his, T'ang - the Shang dynasty, 19th year (1659 BC = the eruption of Santorini) there was great drought..in his 24th year the drought still continuing, the king prayed in the mulberry forest, and it rained."
The Chinese Classics
The 19th year from 1677 BC is 1658 BC = the eruption of Santorini. This may have caused the climate change that brought drought to China.
"The Rong and Di barbarians assulted Gong Danfu, (1160 BC corrected by 120 years = 2 X 60 = 1281 BC = the Exodus in Egypt.)"
Wars with the Xiongnu. xlvi
Newest findings and theories set the eruption of the Santorini Volcano between 1627 BC and 1600 BC. Simply 32 more years back is this 1659 BC = the 22nd year of Ahmose, his first year 1681 BC at the end of the Hea dynasty in China in his 31st year, to being the Shang dynasty in 1677 BC. His 29th year from 1708 BC = 1680 BC "three suns appeared together" = the sun stood still for three days, to mark the beginning of the slavery of the children of Israel for 400 years to the Exodus, March 30, 1281 BC.
"The eruption of Santorini in 1650 B.C. was one of the largest in the last 10,000 years."
"Results of the analysis indicated a broad dating for the Thera event between 1660 to 1613 BC."
Exodus 10:21 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
The sun standing still for three days over China in the morning would equal darkness in Israel for three days. Both these records of a long day/night of three days mark both the beginning of the 400 years of slavery in Egypt and the Exodus from Egypt.
"each morning the rising sun was menaced by a fearful monster called Aapep, which lay hidden under the place of sunrise waiting to swallow up the solar disk."

Emperor Kwei's first year was 1708 BC = 1707 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. A sun miracle may have been taken as an omen to change the emperor. Likewise, a sun miracle to begin the 400 years of slavery in 1681 BC may have been an omen not only to change emperors but also begin a new dynasty, the Shang dynasty in 1677 BC.
Thus, a sun miracle night at the 1681 BC "three suns appeared together" = the sun stood still for three days = the same year Ahmose I became Pharaoh of Egypt.
Then both the Shang dynasty began in this 1677 BC, that is in keeping 60 year cycles: 1557 BC + 120 missing years (1557 BC + 120 years = 1677 BC) between the last year of King Ch'aou in his 19th year in 1087 BC to King Muh's first year in 967 BC = cycles of years of 60. And both the same 1681 BC began the Egyptian 18th dynasty with Ahmose I.
There must have been a very notable sun miracle to begin both Chinese and Egyptian dyastys at the same time in 1681 BC.
The Shang dynasty lasted till emperor Wu in 1174 BC. The eighteenth dynasty in Egypt lasted till King Tut died in 1407 BC. The 19th dynasty of Egypt began with Ramses I 1368 BC two years to Seti I in 1366 BC. 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice. The first year of Pharaoh Seti I in 1368 BC = 11 years to Ramses II in 1357 BC.
"T'ang came east to Lo, to see the altar of Yaou. He dropped a gem in the water, and stood at some distance. Lo! yellow fishes leaped up in pairs; a black bird followed him, and stood on the altar, where it changed into a black gem. There was also a black tortoise, with red lines forming characters, which said that Kee of Hea was unprincipled, and that T'ang should supersede him...When T'ang was about to put Kee away, in reverence of the command of Heaven, he dreamed he went to the sky, and licked it. After this he became possessor of the empire. The people of Shang afterwards changed the title of the dynasty into Yin."
The Chinese Classics, Part IV, The Dynasty of Shang.
This is 1677 BC about the time the children of Israel were brought into bondage in Egypt 400 more years to the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC. The sojourn into Egypt in year 430 of the sothis cycle from 2737 BC on April 1, 2307 BC = new years backed up 107 days (430 / 4 = 107 days) from the appearing of Sirius July 16 to April 1 = the Exodus on the same day of the year Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Or, Jacob came into Egypt, the 14th day of the first month, Sunday, April 3, 2307 BC on what would become the Passover = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The gem is probably the peih - a jade disk with a hole in the middle the emperor dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle.
The black gem and the black tortoise and the red lines appear to describe what the sun would look like if it was moved around the earth at very near the speed of light. Time on the sun would nearly stop and the sun become dark. Because of dilation the sun would appear black and as a vertical red line.
Samson in Judges means small sun. The sun at the speed of light and becoming like a thin vertical red line could be called a small sun.

There are records of Pharaoh Ahmose taking captives from the Levant (Israel) and putting them into slavery in Egypt.
Exodus 1:8 "Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph."
Exodus 1:12 "But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel."
This king may be both Ahmose I in 1681 BC and = the 400 years of slavery to the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, and Ramses I began about 1370 BC. Two years later Ramses I died in 1368 BC (equals 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD). Seti I began in 1368 BC. Moses was born in 1361 BC and Ramses II succeeded Seti I in 1357 BC.
Exodus 1:15 "And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live."
This King of Egypt = Seti I, the Pharaoh who ordered all males born of Israel killed, and Ramses II who reigned from 1358 BC was he that built the treasure city of Ramses.
Exodus 2:23 "And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage."
The king of Egypt that died was Rameses II in 1291 BC, and the Exodus 10 years later in 1281 BC.
Ramses II is the favourite choice for the Pharaoh of the Exodus, but here we see the Pharaoh had died. Merneptah must then be the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
Genesis 14:10 "And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain."
Joshua 6:24 "And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD."
1 Kings 18:36 "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
18:37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
18:38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."
God consumed even the stones. Therefore, God could leave no trace of Jericho, or Sodom or Gomorrah.
Elijah called for three and a half years of famine to bring the people back to God, which he did in this verse. Ahab began his reign in the 38th year of Asa, 948 BC. Asa died in 945; BC is 38 years of Jesus' life in reverse to 907 BC, 900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
"Stagnant waters...during the Late Iron Age IB to Iron Age IIA (~1050 to 840 BC)" = the lowest point of the sea of Galilee in this 948 BC first year of King Ahab.
The Bible chronology does not include 38 years for Azariah, but makes Azariah and Uzziah the same person. These are two separate Kings of Judah. Thus, there should be a drought of three and a half years from Ahab's first year in 948 BC, or possibly about half way of Ahab's 22 years, about 937 BC.
2 Kings 3:1 "Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years."
Jehoshaphat reigned from 944 BC - 18 years to 926 BC + 22 years of Ahab = 948 BC.
1 Kings 18:1 "And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth."
The third year, and the three and a half years of drought of Ahab may have begun in Ahab's first year about 948 BC.
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
Luke 4:25 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow."
James 5:17 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."
Jesus began his three and a half years of ministry with these words spoken on Yom Kippur to fulfill the jubile. When a jubile year, the year begins on the 10th day, Yom Kippur, of the 7th month not the first day of the 7th month.
Thus, three and a half years, like the three and a half years of Jesus' ministry, from 948 BC to 945 BC; 945 BC is 38 years to 907 BC = the death of emperor Muh in China perhaps at the omen of a sun miracle, and 38 years in reverse from Jesus' birth in 7 BC, like 907 BC to 945 BC, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, and the three and a half years from 948 BC to 945 BC pointing to Jesus' sacrifice. Joash became King of Judah in 907 BC when he was 7 years old and reigned 40 years to 867 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
From about 950 - 900 BC the temperature in Samaria became cooler and wetter. Thus, this drought of Elijah should be only a few more years, or not much more than several more years, more recent than 950 BC, perhaps at the beginning of Ahab's reign of 22 years from 948 BC to 926 BC, and the drought about 950 BC, that is 948 BC, really did occur.
From the death of Jehoshaphat in 920 BC are 8 years of Joram/Jehoram to 912 BC, one year of Ahaziah, six years of Queen Athalia to Joash in 907 BC. From 921 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
From 945 BC are 38 years to 907 BC when Joash became king of Judah at seven years old.
In a chronology of drought levels of the Sea of Galilee at the 950 BC line, the divide between Iron age I and Iron age II, you can see the drought level of Elijah:
A low level at 2500 BC matches the time Abraham journeyed south to Egypt for food. A low level at 2300 BC matches the seven years of drought when Joseph welcomed his family into Egypt in 2307 BC.
The late bronze climate crisis = the dry period in 1250 BC to 1150 BC may include the ten years of famine in Bethlehem from 1200 BC to 1190 BC, the fire and battle of Gideon in August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, = the heat and dryness of summer, in Isaiah 9.
Isaiah 9:5 "For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire."
Amos 2:5 "But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, 76 years earlier chronology, would equal 1165 BC = Ramses III's 20th year. 1140 BC = 1216 BC; 20 years previous = 1236 BC = the death of emperor Wanting in China, just five years after Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
Isaiah 9:5 "For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire."
Ruth 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons."
1 Kings 18:45 "And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
18:46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel."
Elijah is said to have traveled twenty miles to the entrance of Jezreel. Thus, when the sun returned, there should be light to run and not stumble. Gideon attacked at the third watch = the middle of the night. Both for Gideon and Joshua = August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, the sun must stand still in the sky as the sun revolves around the earth that day.
The Jewish people had three watches. Thus, the middle watch.
"Shalmaneser III documented 853 BC that he defeated an alliance of a dozen kings in the Battle of Qarqar;"
Wikipedia
This includes Ahab. The Egyptian Pharaoh's reigned 76 years earlier, such as Merneptah's death at the Exodus at the Red/Reed Sea from 1281 BC rather than 1205 BC. Thus, 871 BC - 76 years earlier = 947 BC.
The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD was 20 X 49 years, from 948 BC.
Ahab reigned 22 years from 948 BC to 926 BC.
1 Kings 16:29 "And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years."
From 985 BC Asa's 38th year = 948 BC. The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice was in 948 BC.
From 985 BC the death of Asa in his 41st year in 945 BC.
1 Kings 20:26 "And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel."
The new year was in the seventh month in September. The "return of the year" may refer to the sun. The sun may have moved to the other side of the earth for a long day in the first battle with the Syrians. Then earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then at the second battle with the Syrians a year later on the same date, the sun may have moved back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. The importance of September may have been Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
August/September was the dog days of summer "brings such killing", when Sirius would first appear July 16. They were the unlucky five days of new year. The time of war often was in August/September = Joshua's long day August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
Joram the son of Ahab, began his reign in Joshaphat's 18th year, Ahab reigned 22 years from Asa's 38th year - Asa's 42nd year = Joshaphat's first year. Joram became king in Joshaphat's 18th year. Then Ahab must begin his reign in 948 BC to 926 BC, and Joram his son, from 926 BC 12 years to 914 BC.
Thus, from 948 BC 22 years Ahab died in 926 BC.
Thus, also the connection Jesus said of the three and a half years of famine, from 948 BC to 945 BC, of Elijah in the days of Ahab, when He spoke in Luke 4.
Ahab is dated to 871 BC that must be corrected by 76 years earlier = 948 BC. Like the Exodus 76 years earlier than 1205 BC = 1281 BC. Then Ahab must have reigned from 948 BC.
Luke 4:25 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow."
"In his, King Muh of China, 35th year (966 BC = 932 BC), the people of King entered Seu, when Ts'een, baron of Maou (Taurus = summer constellation, perhaps the beginning of the three and a half years of famine in Israel in the time of Elijah). In his 39th year, he assembled the princes at mount T'oo."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.151.
Thus, three and a half years of drought perhaps from September 932 BC to March 928 BC. Ahab reigned from 948 BC to 926 BC. From 945 BC are 38 years of Jesus' life to 907 BC = 900 years to September 12, 7 BC.
Jesus began his ministry when he turned 35 and finished his three and a half year ministry on the cross when he was 38.5 years old.
Back 38 years from 932 BC or 931 BC = 969 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, King Muh's 35th year and King Muh's 39th year are like Jesus' 35th year and 38.5th year.
Jehoshaphat reigned 25 years from 944 BC = 920 BC. The 50 year jubile, in years ending X21 BC or X71 BC, was to Jesus beginning his ministry in September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
From King Muh in China from 966 BC - 24th year = 943 BC. Jehoshaphat's first year should be 944 BC.
Sun miracles are one year apart, often two or three years apart. Thus, 968 BC is 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice or 20 X 50 years to April 3, 33 AD and King Muh reigned from about 966 BC.
"In his 24th year, (from 965 BC) he ordered Jung-foo, the recorder of the Left, to make a Record (A history of the rise and fall of dynasties and States)"
The Chinese Classics, p.151
Perhaps there was a sun miracle in 941 BC on the 50 year jubile = 300 years, from Joshua's conquest of 1241 BC.
2 Chronicles 17:7 "Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah."
King Asa 41 years from 985 BC to 944 BC, Jehoshaphat's third year in 941 BC. 941 BC would be a 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
1 Kings 22:51 "Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel."
1 Kings 22:8 "And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so."
1 Kings 22:34 "And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded."
From 944 BC, Jehoshaphat's 17th year = 928 BC; 38 years from 967 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice. There may have been a sun miracle in this battle perhaps 928 BC, and there may have been a sun miracle 38 years earlier in 967 BC whereupon Muh was made emperor over China.
"In his, (King Muh's), 39th year (from 966 BC), he assembled the princes at mount T'oo."
The Chinese Classics, p.151.
1 Kings 22:51 "Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel."
From 924 BC less two years = 922 BC = 950 years, or 19 X 50 year jubiles, to Friday, September 9, 29 AD or October 7 29 AD, to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur to fulfill the role of the Messiah.
"In his 45th year, Pe, the prince of Loo, died."
The Chinese Classics.
From 966 BC the 45th year is 922 BC. Pe may be Peih = the jade disc that was dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle. Often the emperor or a prince would be killed at the omen of a sun miracle.
Jehoshaphat reigned 25 years from 944 BC to 919 BC.
Ahab reigned 22 years from 948 BC to 926 BC.
The 50th jubile to Jesus from 922 BC. 934 BC would be a sabbath year, year seven, from 1240 BC, fallow year, = no crop, and a need to be prepared for no food that year. Then there would be two and a half more years of no food because of the great famine.
1 Kings 22:41 "And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
Saul was in battle on Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC.
"12th year of Kang, in the summer, in the sixth month, on the jin-shin day, 9th day of 60, in China, the king went to Fung. and gave his Charge to the duke of Peih. In Autumn duke E of Maou died."
The Peih was a jade disc the emperor dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle. Maou was the constellation Taurus. Taurus would rise before the sun rose in the morning this September 4, 1122 BC. If God moved the sun 180° from Virgo to Pisces September 4, 1122 BC, Taurus would appear above at sunset. The King was often assassinated on the omen of a sun miracle.
The earth may tremble when God moved the sun around the earth, as on Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC, this day Jonathon got the victory:
1 Samuel 14:15 "And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling."
"In the year BC 1067, the 16th of May was, indeed, the day the 7th of the cycle, but the 14th of May was not the first day of the moon."
The Bamboo Books, Books of Chow. p.570.
The 14th of May, 1122 BC was the 26th lunar day.
This day 9 of cycle 60, September 4, 1122 BC would also be the lunar day 13 in China, lunar day 10 in Israel. China counts from the exact pass of the moon by the sun. Israel counts from the first appearing of the new moon. This is a difference of at least two days.
Likewise, Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month was September 11, 922 BC the year Ahab died in battle.
The new moon August 23, 1122 BC. Three days after the new moon was supposed to be day 7 of cycle sixty. Yet three days after the new moon was day one of cycle 60. Day 9 of cycle 60 was September 4, 1122 BC, the tenth day of the lunar month, and Yom Kippur.
The seventh day of the moon, August 30, 1122 BC, is the third day of sixty.
"In his, emperor Muh, 17th year, (948 BC = the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice)..In the autumn, in the 8th month, certain hordes were removed to T'ae-yuen..In his 18th year, in the spring, in the 1st month, he dwelt in the palace of Che, where princes came and did homage."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.151
There was also a sun miracle in 164 BC in Emperor Wen's 17th year.
Emperor Muh reigned 59 years, possibly from sun miracles the Chinese took as omens from 968 BC to 907 BC. King Muh's reign of 59 years from 965 BC to 906 BC. 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice. 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth. Thus, his 18th year would be 950 BC, about the first year of king Ahab. Dates like the 8th month, the 1st month, suggest perhaps sun miracles six months apart.
Likewise, in King Ching's 18th year, from 1168 BC to 1150 BC, phoenixes appeared.
From 948 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice Aprl 3, 33 AD.
From Ahab's three and a half years from 948 BC was 945 BC.
The phoenixes in King Ching's 18th year be phoenixes in 1150 BC, or his 18th year in 1144 BC.
950 BC must mean something. In 17th year, 164 BC a 49 year jubile, the sun rose in the west to the meridian, to the noon position.
Like wise in Emperor Wen's 17th year a sun miracle on the 49 year jubile in 164 BC when the sun rose in the west to the meridian, the noon positon. Emperor Wen rebegan his reign of 17 years from this 164 BC because of the omen.
"The August Emperor Wen the Filial reigned from 180 BC - 157 BC."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.145.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa"
Solomon from 1044 BC 40 years to 1004 BC. Rehoboam 17 years from 1003 BC to 986 BC. Abija 3 years to 984 BC. The Armenian sothis cycle began again in 984 BC. Asa's 15th year = 969 BC or 968 BC = an omen just before the first year of emperor Muh of China in 966 BC.
2 Chronicles 15:12 "And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;"
Thus, a sun miracle may have marked this 969 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice. This would be an omen in China to change emperors = the first year of emperor Muh.
The Armenian sothis calendar of 550 AD corrected back the same 76 years as the Egyptian sothis calendar, 550 AD less 76 years = 474 AD, back one sothis cycle of 1460 years to 986 BC, 1460 years back to 2447 BC, 1460 years back is 3907 BC.
2 Chronicles 12:2 "And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,"
The fifth year of Rehoboam = 998 BC = 507 BC + 490 years. Or 998 BC 490 years to 507 BC 490 years to 18 BC (when Herod began to rebuild the temple) 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The fifth year of Rehoboam is supposed to be 925 BC + 76 years correction = 1001 BC. However, 925 BC may be an approximation. Thus, five years from the death of Solomon in 1004 BC is about 999 BC.
Abijah reigned 3 years from 987 BC to 985 BC. Asa's 15th year = 971 BC = 1000 years to Jesus beginning his ministry October 7, 29 AD.
"In the winter, in the 10th month, he built the palace of Che in Nan-ch'ing."
The Chinese Classics, The Annal of the Bamboo Books, p.149.
In King Muh's first year, half an orbit back from the 10th month is this third month in the fifteenth year, 968 BC. Perhaps there was a sun miracle about Pentecost May 10, 968 BC = 1000 years to the first Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 33 AD, and a sun miracle 6 months later at the full moon, November 12, 968 BC. Then the sun may return on the full moon May 10, 967 BC.
An objection to a famine and low Sea of Galilee after 950 BC was made. Their chronology for Elijah's drought was some 76 years too recent = the 76 year correction to the Egyptian Pharaohs, thus their objection because of their wrong date. Shoshenq I reigned 76 years earlier than 925 BC; from 1000 BC = Rehoboam's fifth year from the death of Solomon in 1004 BC.
Thus, the age of Jesus when he was crucified, 38 years old, was reinforced in the chronology of the kings. And just as the 38 years for Azariah was hidden, there were two separate kings who ruled one after the other, Azariah and Uzziah, the habitation layer of Jericho at the time of Joshua was hidden.
The fall of Jericho may have been marked by a sudden sunrise. However, the sun more likely moved to the other side of the earth at the crossing of the river Jordan two weeks before the conquest of Jericho.
Then earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun more likely on February 4, 1241 BC.
Possibly half an orbit later, 188 days later, the sun rose in the west at the middle watch at night about 11 PM in August 9, 1241 BC. This was the night Joshua was called to help Gibeon and possibly the same night Gideon was bidden of God to attack the Midianites.
More likely the day of Joshua's long day began as a normal day and the sun rose in the east, only earth already was in a reverse orbit of the sun from 188 days earlier from the crossing of the river Jordan, the ten day moon, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC = August 10, 1241 BC the last quarter moon setting in the west and the sun at noon over Gibeon when Joshua made his request the sun and moon stand still. His request for the moon because they both needed to be kept in synchronism, and a symbol to the Amorites the God of Israel controls both the sun and the moon whom they worshipped.
Then the battles: of Joshua, Gideon, and Deborah and Barak.
Possibly the sun was passing west to east and was at the noon position when Joshua asked God to make the sun and moon stand still.
But more likely Joshua's long day began as a normal day. Or earth was already in a reverse orbit from the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC.
Joshua asked that both the sun and moon stand still - God must move both together to leave no trace.
Most likely the sun then revolved almost 360° around the earth to stand still in the sky for a whole day = Joshua's long day - August 10, 1241 BC.
There must be 3 or 4 sun miracles a reverse orbit year. So, two year reverse orbit there must be 5 or 8 sun miracles.
At the half orbit point the sun may move 180° and 180° again.
Or at the half orbit point the sun may move 360°.
So, even if Joshua's long day began as a normal day, at other times at the half orbit points, the sun may appear to rise in the west and set in the east = something like the sun rose in the west and set in the east at Isaiah's request for Hezekiah.
Or there was a reverse orbit from the crossing of the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC, and earth already in a reverse orbit, God may have moved the sun 360° to stand still at noon for 24 hours, and earth continue in the reverse orbit of the sun until king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
Therefore the moon which was about to set in the east, stood still in the Ajalon valley. Afterwards, the sun also set in the east. Then brilliantly and suddenly rose in the east Sunday morning, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday morning, August 11, 1241 BC. Earth had flowed out of a reverse orbit of the sun and now back into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Then half a orbit later, February 15, 1240 BC, or one and a half an orbit later, February 5, 1239 BC, the sun revolved around the earth 180° with earth's rotation to stand still in the noon sky for 12 hours in the battle of Merom. Then earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Earth's orbit in reverse was guided and 100% normal, no trace was left. Even there was no net missing time.
Solar eclipse paths were the same before and after as predicted by computer model. Orbits are well understood and can be projected forward or backward. And the interfering event has been uncovered here using simple orbit mechanics.
Jesus sent the twelve apostles into all the world to proclaim the light of Jesus' life just as the light of the sun lightens the 12 hour day 360° around the world. The sun standing still for Joshua for 24 hours was also like the eternal day of a saved eternity in Heaven.
You are invited to come and hear the Gospel and follow the Light of life, the lowly Jesus.
Joshua may have crossed the river Jordan Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC when the Jordan was in flood, the 10th day of the lunar month. The Jordan is naturally in flood in January.
Then the manna ceased on the sixth day, Friday, February 9, 1241 BC the day after the Passover.
Exodus 16:5 "And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."
Then they ate of the fruit of the promised land. Then Joshua may have kept the Passover, Thursday, February 8, 1241 BC. Then the walls of Jericho may have fallen on Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC.
Exodus 12:18 "In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even."
The feast of unleavened bread seven days from the Passover, Thursday, February 8, 1241 BC to February 16, 1241 BC. The next day was the sabbath, February 17, 1241 BC.
Perhaps the sun rose suddenly in the east Saturday the seventh day, February 17, 1241 BC.
More likely the sun moved to the other side of the earth when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, and the sun moved back two years later on king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC.
Nevertheless, Joshua must have conquered Jericho Saturday, February 17, 1241 BC on the 23rd day of the first month at the end of the seven days of unleavend bread in the Passover week. Joshua's long day must have been August 10, 1241 BC on the 21st of the seventh month, at the end of the week, the last day, of the seven day feast of Tabernacles.
Joshua 6:12 "And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests bore the ark of Jehovah.
6:15 And it happened on the seventh day, they rose early, at the dawning of the day, and went around the city seven times.
6:20 And the people shouted, and blew with the trumpets, and it happened when people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout. And the wall fell under it; and the people went up into the city, each man in front of him; and they captured the city."
2 Samuel 6:6 "And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
6:10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
6:11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
6:12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
6:13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
6:15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet."
Exodus 25:14 "And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
25:15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof."
Exodus 25:22 "And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel."
The ark was to be borne by the Levites, two and two. Jesus sent his apostles two and two. God's messengers are to go two and two in order to have the blessing of the Holy Spirit.
King Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC means Joshua's long day must be one and a half orbits earlier on Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. The sun must move to the other side of the earth Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Thus from Sunday to Saturday are 188 days to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC. Then, of these sun miracles, only Joshua's long day was on the Sabbath.
Possibly half an orbit after the fall of Jericho - at 11 PM Friday night = the Sabbath, August 23, 1241 BC, at the sun may have rose in the west. Gideon attacked at the beginning of the middle watch, Joshua went up all night from Gilgal to Gibeon.
More likely, simply from the crossing of the river Jordan Sunday, the 10th day of the first lunar month, at noon February 4, 1241 BC there be an extra 12 hours at noon. Then, 188 days later to noon on Joshua's long day there be 24 hours extra hours at noon.
Here you see the palm trees about where Gilgal was:
"Accordingly, Joshua hurried with his whole army to assist them, and marching day and night, in the morning he fell upon the enemies as they were going up to the siege; and when he had defeated them, he followed them, and pursued them down the descent of the hills. The place is called Beth Horon; where he also understood that God assisted him, which he declared by thunder and thunderbolts, as also by the falling of hail larger than usual. Moreover, it happened that the day was lengthened, that the night might not come on too soon, and be an obstruction to the zeal of the Hebrews in pursuing their enemies; insomuch that Joshua to the kings, who were hidden in a certain cave at Makkedah, and put them to death. Now, that the day was lengthened at this time, and was longer than ordinary, is expressed in the books laid up in the temple."
Josephus, Book 5:1:17
Joshua's long day most likely was on a normal day and at the half orbit from a sun miracle when the sun should move back. Then the sun would not be in the eyes of Israel as they chased the Amorites from Gibeon down Bethoron and down the Ajalon valley as the sun stood still at noon for 24 hours.
The last quarter moon setting in the west and the sun at the noon position. Thus, Joshua would see the last quarter moon all day, and the last quarter moon stop before setting in the west, and stop above the Mediterranean Sea for 24 hours.
Perhaps Joshua commanded both the sun and the moon because they were travelling west to east.
Again this August 10, 1241 BC may have began as a normal day. Only earth being already in a reverse orbit from the crossing of the River Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC.
Then at Joshua's request, God may move the sun 360° from noon in Israel, above Gibeon, and earth continue in the reverse orbit of the sun till king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC a year and a half later.
Then there may have been 24 extra hours of day light as the sun moved with earth's rotation 360° for 24 hours that day.
The new year in the seventh month is celebrated as the time Joshua conquered the five kings at Gibeon. The conquest must have been in the seventh month, the 21st day of the month, August 10, 1241 BC = the last great day of the feast of tabernacles. Thus, the connection of Joshua's conquest on the 21st day of the seventh month, to Yom Kippur on the tenth day of the seventh month, ten days earlier, the national holyday, is correct.
The return of the year was in the seventh month, September. August/September was the usual time to go to war. Thus, the five kings came to fight Gibeon and Joshua, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
1 Kings 20:22 "And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee."
1 Kings 20:26 "And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel."
For the moon to be visible at noon, the moon must be rising on the eastern horizon or setting on the western horizon on Joshua's long day, either a six day moon eighth month = August 24, 1241 BC, or a 21st day moon seventh month = August 10, 1241 BC.
Probably Joshua's long day was the 21st day moon of the seventh month. Either the sun set in the west or the east that day. So Joshua probably fought on the Sabbath, probably, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Gideon may have fought the Midianites probably on a sun miracle - at the crossing of the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC, at Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, the battle of Merom probably February 4, 1240 BC, or at king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
Both Joshua and Gideon were faint but pursuing. The word "fled" in Joshua 10:11 was noted in the Aleppo Codex. Joshua 10:11 "as they fled" and Judges 8:12 "And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them,"
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
Then the saying, life's western slope is leading to God and to endless day.
2 Samuel 19:3 "And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they fleeH5127 in battle."
H5127 נוּס nûs noos A primitive root; to flit, that is, vanish away (subside, escape; causatively chase, impel, deliver): - X abate, away, be displayed, (make to) flee (away, -ing), put to flight, X hide, lift up a standard. Total KJV occurrences: 160
"This comment tells us that the word be-nusam (in their flight) appears twice in the Bible, once defectively and once in plene spelling. The first instance is Joshua 10:11 and the second is 2 Samuel 19:3. The Masorah comments that in the second instance the spelling is plene, thus indicating by inference that the spelling in the first instance is defective."
The Jerusalem Crown
Joshua 10:11 in the Hebrew Interlinear:
The comments in Hebrew are above the text of Joshua 10 in the Aleppo Codex.
The full spelling has the letter "vav" in the middle.
You can see the word H5127 נוּס nûs noos, to the left of the middle of the sixth line beginning with the letter "Bet" = "from" fled:
The fact the word for flee H5127 "noos" was used defectively in Joshua 10:11 points to an early writing, to an eye witness account of Joshua 10:12, of Joshua's long day.
Matthew 26:55 "In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled."
Thus, the emphasis on the word "fled"
Genesis 22:1 "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am."
Genesis 22:13 "And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behindH310 him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son."
The extra word does not change the word "behind", it is an extra word: “and behold behind him 'one' ram caught in the thicket".
Likewise there are two words in Zechariah 14:6 H7087 for dark. The second word does not normally appear.
The word akad H259 "one" may replace ahar H310 "behind" a dalet a d, instead of a resh an r.
"makes the sentence read better in Hebrew" - We can trust those that read Hebrew know what they are talking about. In Hebrew the order of the words makes the meaning. In Greek the words can be in any order and keep the meaning.
Hebrew does not have the word "a". Then it would be necessary to state "one" ram.
Here you see the word ending in the letter Resh, R: right to left = behind = after:
H310 אַחַר 'achar akh-ar' From H309; properly the hind part; generally used as an adverb or conjugation, after (in various senses): - after (that, -ward), again, at, away from, back (from, -side), behind, beside, by, follow (after, -ing), forasmuch, from, hereafter, hinder end, + out (over) live, + persecute, posterity, pursuing, remnant, seeing, since, thence [-forth], when, with. Total KJV occurrences: 714
Here you see the word corrected ending in the letter Dalet, D: right to left.
Likewise, the word after "ram" means one ram changing the word for after or behind = ahar, into ehad = one, in the plene or full spelling likewise with a letter R resh changed to the letter D dalet. One ram = Jesus' one sacrifice.
H259 אֶחָד 'echâd ekh-awd' A numeral from H258; properly united, that is, one; or (as an ordinal) first: - a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any (-thing), apiece, a certain [dai-] ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together. Total KJV occurrences: 968
You can see in the older Paleo Hebrew the character for R, resh, is like the charater D, dalet, and may have been a copy error from an early time. It is easy to omit letters, to go from five letters to three letters:
Genesis 22:2 "And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."
"thine only son" "one" ram.
"The translation follows the reading of the MT; a number of Hebrew MSS, the LXX, Syriac, and Smr read "one" (ekhad) instead of "behind him" ('akhar)"
The NET Bible
Genesis 22 in the Masoretic Interlinear text:
Genesis 22 from the Leningrad Codex. Note the third last line, in the middle, "thy son, thy only"
"thy son, thy only"
Between the words, "thy son, thy only" is the word "To smite" The Hebrew word is pronounced like the English: smite.
If the third letter from the right is a Resh, the word would be "watch" or "keeper" that does not fit:
H8108 שָׁמְרָה shomrâh shom-raw' Feminine of an unused noun from H8104 meaning a guard; watchfulness: - watch. Total KJV occurrences: 1
The word in the middle must be the word for smite:
Thus, Abraham was willing to smite his only son.
You can see from the right, the third letter of the name Abraham is a Resh with no bumps on the top, unlike above, the third letter from the right is a Dalet with two bumps on the top and a left lean. Meaning the word in the Leningrad Codex between "thy son, thy only" = "thy son, smite thy only son".
The word to smite, the third letter from the right a Dalet. Note again how this letter Dalet has two bumps at the top and leans to the left and is different than the letter Resh in Abraham:
Here you see the Resh in Abraham:
Here you see the Dalet in smite:
The next line in the middle top you can see the word Ahar that should be Ahad. The next word - right to left - is Abraham. You can see the letter for "r" for the letter Resh in ahar looks like a "d" the letter Dalet. Compare the r in Abraham with the d in akad.
Again you see the word Akad/Achar. The letter R, resh, originally was mistaken for the letter D, dalet, and the D was replaced by an R in a copy error, because they look the same:
Likewise the letter Resh may be confused with this letter Dalet:
In the Masoretic Hebrew:
Isaiah 23:10 "Pass throughH5674 thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength."
H5674 עָבַר ‛âbar aw-bar' A primitive root; to cross over;
In the Dead Sea Scrolls:
Isaiah 23:10 "Cultivate your own land like the Nile, Oh daughter of Tarshish, for there is no longer a harbor."
H5647 עָבַד ‛âbad aw-bad' A primitive root; to work (in any sense); by implication to serve, till,
Isaiah 23:10 in the Masoretic Hebrew:
The word to pass throughH5674:
Isaiah 23:10 in the Dead Sea Scrolls:
You can see the word landH5647 on the top line, just left of center:
The word to till the landH5647 in the Dead Sea Scrolls:
The letter Dalet was changed to the letter Resh.
Abraham when he went to sacrifice Isaac may have been noon, on what would be the Passover. Thus the sun above when God spoke to him. Even the sun may have been darkened like it was when Jesus was on the cross at noon, April 3, 33 AD.
2468 / 128 = 20 days = the spring equinox 20 days after March 21 = April 10. The full moon four days after the spring equinox, on Thursday, April 12, 2468 BC.
The first Passover, on the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC was on the spring equinox. 1281 BC / 128 = 10. Back 10 days from March 30 Julian, is the spring equinox March 20 Gregorian.
Or this was the full moon on Sunday April 23, 2469 BC. This 20 days back is the same date as Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
From the Greek New Testament, Hebrews 11:3
Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand to have been adjusted the ages by a word of God, so as not out of things appearing the thing being seen to have become."
"adjusted the ages" may refer to the often sun miracles God made pointing to Jesus.
"This means the preparation of all the successive periods of time would contain."
The Ryrie Study Bible, New American Standard
Hebrews 11:17 "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure."
"he received him in a figure" on Sunday, April 23, 2469 BC is like the resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Joshua 10:19 "And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand."
Judges 8:4 "And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them."
Then perhaps Gideon returned before the sun suddenly ascended in the east Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, or Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
Joshua 10:29 "And Joshua passed on, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libna. And he fought with Libna.
10:30 And Jehovah also gave it into the hand of Israel, and its king. And they struck it by the mouth of the sword, and every person in it; he did not leave a survivor in it. And he did to its king as he did to the king of Jericho."
10:32a "And Jehovah gave Laschish into the hand of Israel and he captured it on the second day."
Jericho and Laschish and Hazor were completely destroyed.
Wikipedia: "There was a small settlement at Jericho in the 1400's BC but erosion and destruction from previoius excavations have erased significat parts of this layer"
Likewise, a layer in 1240 BC may have also been erased.
For Joshua to travel to Makkedah from noon at Gibeon, he must travel more than 30 miles in the six hours to sunset. Thus, given 24 more hours, Joshua would have time to get the victory before the enemy could get away and regroup.
Joshua 10:28 "And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho."
Not only did Joshua get to Makkedah by sunset, he also smote all the city. To do all this Joshua would need more than the 6 hours from noon to sunset.
Yes, there are a few battles to this second day, second day of the week from Joshua's long day on Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or more likely Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC, then the first day of the week Sunday, then the second day of the week Monday. Nevertheless, these cities are close together on the flat land of the Ajalon Valley.
I have been up the road from Jericho to Jerusalem by bus. The terrain for hiking upwards is generally smooth. There is a rock outcrop some forty feet high, the bedrock is visibly bent backwards = the Dead Sea Rift.
The Jordan valley is 1,200 feet below sea level. So the hike up to Gibeon would be 4,500 feet up and about 18 miles. I have run uphill 3,000 feet six miles and six miles back in about two hours, no problem. To people accustomed to walking everywhere this hike from Gilgal to Gibeon should be no problem too. Nevertheless, to travel a further 30 or 40 miles to Makkedah from Gibeon from at noon in just 6 hours till sunset is not possible unless the day was lengthened.
"as he did to the king of Jericho"
Joshua 10:1 "Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;"
Joshua 10:28 "And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho."
Thus, Joshua's long day be Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or more likely Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Joshua would take Libna the next day, Sunday the first day of the week, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday August 11, 1241 BC. Then Joshua take Laschish the next day, the second day of the week, Monday, August 26, 1241 BC, or Monday, August 12, 1241 BC.
The sudden sunrise of Gideon may have been on the first day of the week, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday February 4, 1241 BC or Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC, as it was when Jesus rose from the dead. Thus, the second day of the week was the next day, the second day.
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon, the son of Joash, returned from battle at the ascent of the sun."
"in the light of his glory, and gladdens us..telling us..holy of holies..his glory..And when the sun ascends to illuminate the earth, they shall bless"
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume 2, p.1105
Matthew 27:51 "And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
Hebrews 9:7 "But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"
Hebrews 9:24 "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
The parallel to the holy of holies may be a sun miracle Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, when the sun may suddenly ascend in the east at midnight for the resurrection morning.
Judges 14:18 "And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle."
Samson means sunlight or little sun.
H8123 שִׁמְשׁוֹן shimshôn shim-shone' From H8121; sunlight; Shimshon, an Israelite: - Samson. Total KJV occurrences: 38
The word for sun = Cheres, is the same as in Judges 8:13. The sun normally sets in the west. However, this Sabbath may be a type of Jesus' resurrection where the sun set in the east to soon suddenly rise in the east. Thus, Samson's name "Sunlight".
Likewise the sun may have suddenly rose on Jacob at the same place of Penuel:
Genesis 32:30 "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh."
Genesis 32:26 "And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me."
"for the day breaketh" may signify a sudden sunrise such as is in Judges 8:13 from this very same place Peniel = Penuel.
Judges 8:9 "And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower."
Judges 11:26 "While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?"
Not three hundred years. Most likely this was 3 X 30 years = 90 years; 1241 BC - 90 = 1151 BC = the sun miracle of King Ching's 18th year from 1168 BC.
Here you see the Hebrew letters for 90 and 300, Tsade and Shin, look similar and the letter for 300 - Shin, may be a copy error, for the similar looking Tsade - 90.
Here you can see north east from Mount Nebo, towards where Gideon slew the two kings, and where was this Heshbon of Jephthah:
"the ascent of Heres" is not the ascent of a valley but the ascent of the sun.
Judges 8:13 "Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres."
"the ascent of Heres" can only be the ascent of the sun, most probably, the sudden and brilliant "ascent of the sun"
Isaiah 9:2 "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:"
For Gideon to travel almost 100 miles he would need more time than a 12 hour day. The picture we are given is Gideon attacked at the middle watch = midnight = 6 hours from midnight to dawn. The whole battle was finished when the sun rose six hours later! Even if the battle was six hours from midnight to dawn, then a 12 hours day, and 12 hours night, before the sun rose in the east. Most of the battle was fought at night!
Simply you cannot travel very fast in the dark without stumbling.
If Gideon's battle was Joshua's long day, there would be 24 more hours of daylight = at least 36 hours of daylight to chase the Midianites 100 miles to victory.
John 11:9 "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."
From Judges 6,7,8, it appears Gideon chased the Midianites down Mount Tabor at the middle watch = midnight, chased them across the Jordan and down past Penuel, at least 60 miles, slew the two kings, and began to return before the sun rose. All this in just the six hours from midnight to sunrise!
Judges 8:18 "Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king."
If a person can walk 20 miles a day, with 24 more hours that person can walk 60 miles in daylight. Looking at a map Gideon would have to travel at least 60 miles.
So the picture has to be the sun rose in the west at midnight, at the beginning of the middle watch, the sun passing west to east for a 12 hour day, the sun stopping in the middle of the sky for 24 hours, then 6 more hours daylight for Gideon to finnish them off and the sun set in the east = 36 hours daylight that day Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC. Then a few hours of darkness, and Gideon begin to return when the sun ascended = at the sudden and brilliant red Cheres sun, crimson sun.
Benjamin born in 2333 BC = 36 years from the 49 year jubile in 2369 BC and Joseph born 10 years earlier in 2343 BC = 1100 years to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
Nevertheless, Joseph may have been born in 2345 BC and Benjamin the 9 years later in 2336 BC.
Benjamin would be 29 when he met his brother Joseph in Egypt in 2307 BC.
Thus, a sun miracle of the sun suddenly rising in the east on Penuel both times as a type of Jesus' resurrection when we will see Jesus face to face.
Deuteronomy 11:30 "Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?"
Deuteronomy 2:37 "Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us."
"the sun goeth down" = Deuteronomy 11:30. Both the battle of Moses against the Amorites in 1242 BC, and the battle of Gideon perhaps on Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, when perhaps the sun rose in the west and set in the east, and Gideon pursued the Midianites to Penuel by the river Jabbok. And also the battle of Jephthah against the Amorites, that may be the sun miracle in the 18th year, his first year in 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice, of King Ching in China in 1150 BC.
Judges 8:4 "And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them."
Deuteronomy 4:47 "And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;"
"towards the sunrising"
Judges 8:13 "Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle before the sun ascended."
The sun may have set in the east when Gideon chased the Midianites over the River Jordan. Gideon would pass east where the Jabbok River meets the Jordan River opposite Gilgal. Gideon would then pursue eastwards to Succoth and to Penuel "by the way where the sun goeth down" = the sun set in the east that day. The sun may have risen in the west and set in the east the Saturday, April 4, 33 AD, when Jesus was in the grave. Thus, this verse that points to "by the way where the sun goeth down" may point to Jesus' resurrection on the resurrection moring, April 5, 33 AD.
Joshua 12:1 "Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
12:2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
12:3 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:"
The river Jabbok is the same place as Penuel.
The long chronology started with the emperor Huangdi in 2696 BC and Yao in 2356 BC. There is a sixty year correction. The 60 year cycle started in 2636 BC not 2696 BC. From Huangdi's first year (mistakenly) 2697 BC to Yao's first year (mistakenly) 2356 BC = 340 years. 2356 BC = 340 years. Huangdi's first year was 2657 BC but the first year and day of 60 was January 26, 2636 BC. Thus, 2636 BC not 2696 BC. Huangdi reigned from 2656 BC, 40 years more recent. Then likewise Yao must have reigned 40 years more recent than 2356 BC and instead Yao reigned from 2315 BC.
Counting from Huangdi's first year in 2656 BC the same 340 years to Yao's first year in 2315 BC = Yao's long day.
This means the sun miracle, day 57 of cycle 60. Friday, October 18, 2607 BC should be the day Abraham was born in Huangdi's 50th year. Huangdi reigned 100 years. Then in the next emperor's 50th year would be the birth of Isaac, autumn of 2507 BC. Then these 50 year jubiles would point to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
The Common Scheme in the Chinese Classics, The Bamboo Books, page 184, Table of Chronology, begins with Yao in 2356 BC. Huangdi's 20th year January 26, 2636 BC, began the cycle 60 years and 60 days. Then 40 years more recent also for Yao from 2356 BC = 2315 BC.
Counting the emperors back from Yao/Joseph at 2315 BC, + 9 years + 63 years = 2387 BC, or about 2389 BC = emperor Gaoxin's = the same person, emperor Kuh's first year.
"In his 45th year, he conferred the prince of T'ang the appointment to be his successor." = 2343 BC or 2345 BC = the year Jacob left Haran. Abraham left Haran 2532 BC, 190 years previous. Joseph was born in 2346 BC, 30 years before he became governor over Egypt in 2315 BC. Joseph's and Yao's sun miracle may have occurred on the full moon, April 2, 2315 BC. Then half an orbit later, October 2, 2315 BC would be the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month when the sun may move back, and forward again. October 2, 2315 BC was day 14 of cycle 60. Years 1207 BC, 507 BC and 207 BC have the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month day 14 of cycle 60 in China.
2345 BC = emperor Kuh's 45th year, a sun miracle on Joseph's birth may have prompted emperor Kuh to appoint the prince of T'ang to be his successor, = Joseph's birth = 38 years to Jacob entering Egypt in the second year of famine = 7 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life to his crucifixion April 3, 33 AD. The parallel, Julius Caesar died the full moon March 15, 45 BC, perhaps he was assassinated because of an omen about 11 AM in Italy = before Julius Caesar was assassinated = noon on the Passover in Israel.
Julius Caesar had just begun the year with January 1 = the new moon and thus March 15 = the full moon 45 BC = three hours of darkness at noon Israel time to foretell the three hours of darkness when Jesus would be on the cross. The darkness may have been one hour, the sun reappearing at the 3 PM position in Israel after completing 360° around the earth. It takes 55 minutes for the sun to travel 360° That five more minutes = 2 hours in the position of the sun. Added to that the one hour the sun traveled 360° = from noon 12 PM to the 3 PM position on the sundial. 2 + 1 = 3.
On the bottom right the character for phoenix. On the top left the character for phoenix, plural phoenixes, the moon phoenix and the sun phoenix that moved the sun and the moon:
"He made blind men beat drums, and strike bells and sounding stones, at which the phoenixes flapped their wings, and gamboled."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.111
Here is the Chinese character for star. Note it is very like the Chinese character for phoenix above:
The characters for phoenixes again. Moon and sun:
"And I looked and saw other flying creatures, their names phoenixes and chalkadri wonderful and strange in appearance, with the feet and tails of lions, and the heads of crocodiles; their appearance was of a purple colour, like the rainbow; their size nine hundred measures. Their wings were like those of angels, each with twelve, and they attend the chariot of the sun, and go with him, bringing heat and dew as they are ordered by God."
Secrets of Enoch, chapter XII, page 12.
From China June 5, 2344 BC solar eclipse:
From China October 22, 2137 BC eclipse:
Emperor Kuh's first year would be 2387 BC; 2316 BC + 10 + 63 = 2390 BC = his 45th year 2345 BC.
Note: "He made blind men (blind from looking at the sun) beat drums, and strike bells and sounding stones, at which phoenixes flapped their wings, and gambolled"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.111.
April 21, 2344 BC was the full moon = the Passover April 3, 33 AD. 2345 BC / 128 years = 18 days difference. Thus, if the sun was darkened at noon in Israel, the sun would be suddenly darkened at sunset in China. Then this darkness in China may be a sun miracle pointing to Jesus.
There was a jubile in 1241 BC when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2390 BC - 1240 BC = 1150 years = 23 X 50 years.
The Jordan River began to flood in the fourth month, must be from the new year in the seventh month = September + 4 months = December/January when Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan River in full flood.
Joshua 3:15 "And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)"
"for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest"
That is, the River Jordan overflowed until the time of Barley harvest.
Leviticus 23:15 "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD."
Deuteronomy 16:9 "Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:"
Joshua 5:10 "And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day."
This was the time of harvest when the children of Israel crossed the River Jordan, the 10th day of the first month, February 4, 1241 BC, the Passover the 14th day, Thursday, February 8, 1241 BC.
The spring run off peaks May 20 on Powers Creek, West Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley, BC, Canada.
The Chinese new year sometimes began in January, sometimes in November. The new year changed from January to November about 607 BC. The new moon November 15, 606 BC a lunar month before the winter solstice December 25, 606 BC. The 17th day of the seventh Hebrew month November 13, 607 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle 600 years before Jesus' birth, the 17th day of the 7th lunar month, September 13, 7 BC = the reason the Chinese calendar was changed.
The fall of Jerusalem in the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC = this seventh month = two more months = November 13, 607 BC.
2 Kings 24:12 "And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign."
Jehoiachin the king of Judah reigned from 612 BC, his eighth year 605 BC = the 49 year jubile.
Or Jehoiachin reigned from 613 BC/612 BC, his seventh year 607 BC.
There may have been a sun miracle to mark the beginning of the Captivity.
There may be a second sun miracle two years after the first. This would be like a sun miracle on Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC, and the sun return on the full moon September 15, 5 BC. Then perhaps a sun miracle November 14, 607 BC and November 16, 605 BC.
King Tin "His first year was yih-maou (52nd of cycle 60 = 605 BC)
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.164
The Chinese often changed their emperors on the omen of a sun miracle.
Thus, earth flow into and out of the reverse orbit on the anniversary date November 16, 605 BC.
605 BC was a 49 year jubile, as was 556 BC. 50 year jubiles from 556 BC to Jesus' birth in September of 7 BC. Both 605 BC and 556 BC were the 35th year of the 50 year jubile. 5 X 7 = 35. Thus, these 49 year jubiles were also a 7 year jubile of the 50 year jubile. The first year of Cyrus king of Babylon in 529 BC also a 7th year.
Or the first year of Cyrus from Babylon, not from 539 BC, but 13 years more recent, was from 526 BC.
591 BC to 529 BC = the 63rd year of Captivity = 9 X 7 years. A 7th year sabbath. 521 BC was the return from 70 years, 10 X 7 years, in captivity from 591 BC.
Cyrus reigned in Babylon 9 years from 527 BC to 518 BC.
Ezra 1:1 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
1:2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
The number 12 and 7 are often found in the Bible. 12 X 7 = 84. 84 years after the 50 year jubile 690 BC = 605 BC. 84 years after the 50 jubile 641 BC = 556 BC.
Also 605 BC was the 49 year jubile from 1241 BC when Jerusalem was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar. Then Jerusalem destroyed in 591 BC the 50 year jubile from 1241 BC.
Isaiah 8:4 "For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria."
Isaiah 37:30 "And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
37:32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
37:33 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
37:34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
37:35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
37:36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh."
The return from captivity was 521 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. "And this shall be a sign unto thee" = the jubile year Jesus spoke on Yom Kippur.
The 70 years captivity was for not keeping the fallow ground every seven years. 7 X 70 = 490 years. 521 BC + 700 = 1221 BC.
"shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward" equals the beginning of Jesus' ministry in this jubile. The land to be fallow for two years, year 49 and year 50, means the people would be free from farming to listen to the gospel and thus spiritually "take root downward". The year would begin, not with Rosh Hashanah - the first day of the seventh month, but with Yom Kippur, the tent day of the seventh month on this a jubile.
Thus, the background for the parable of the sower and the seed. And for the blessing for those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
The 49 year jubile was in 703 BC that would fit the timing of the besiege of Jerusalem perfectly. The 50 year jubile was in 691 BC just before Hezekiah passed away 15 years after this 703 BC.
Sunday, March 31, 703 BC to the new moon on the Passover month March 28, 688 BC.
"In the seventh year, in the summer, in the fourth moon, in the day sin mao, during the night, the fixed stars did not appear, though the night was clear (cloudless). In the middle of the night stars fell like rain."
"Other ominous luminar phenomina include haloes, eclipses and eclipses together with meteors.."
The Oxford Handbook of Cuneiform culture. p.631.
Meteors would be expected when God moved the sun = the sun falling out of heaven and earth heading in a new direction around the sun meeting meteors head on.
From Joshua's long day in 1241 BC are 50 year jubiles.
That is, the 50 year jubile was in 691 BC from the conquest of 1241 BC of Joshua's long day. The captivity on the 50th year jubile 100 years later on September 7, 591 BC. Thus, the third year from 691 BC was 688 BC March 28 day sin-mao 28 of cycle 60, the new moon. This be fifteen years, the fifteen years God promised Hezekiah, after Hezekiah's Sign and be when Hezekiah died.
Leviticus 25:21 "Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years."
From Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC are 77 X 7 year fallow years to this 703 BC = 11 X 49 years.
From the 50th year from 1241 BC to 741 BC are 5 X 7 years to 706 BC = the third year 704 BC.
"In the seventh year, in the summer, in the fourth moon, in the day sin mao, during the night, the fixed stars did not appear, though the night was clear (cloudless). In the middle of the night stars fell like rain."
The seventh year from King Chwang's first year in 695 BC is this same 688 BC, when the sun must return, and the end of the fifteen years promised to Hezekiah from Hezekiah's sign in 703 BC.
That is, there must be a sun miracle at the end of the 15 years promised Hezekiah, from Hezekiah's sign on the Passover, Sunday, March 31, 703 BC to the new moon on the Passover month March 28, 688 BC = 15 years exactly.
The year 48 and 49 were fallow of the 49 year jubile, the third year they could sow. Also the year 49 and 50 of the 50 year jubile were fallow, the third year they could sow. When the captivity would actually come, they would not be there to sow in the third year.
507 BC + 49 years = 556 BC:
"His (King Ling) 1st year was kang-yin (27th of cycle = 570 BC) In his 14th year, the duke Taou of Tsin died. His 15th year was kea-shin (41 of cycle 60), the 1st year of the duke P'ing of T'sin."
The Chinese Classics. p.165.
China changed emperors often when there was a sun miracle. The 14th year of King Ling was 556 BC = a 49 year jubile. Many 49 year jubliles to Jesus' crucifixion were marked by sun miracles.
Joseph would be 38 and a half years old on the full moon of April 1, 2307 BC, the 14th day of the lunar month = Passover the third day of the week and Pharaoh's birthday. Jesus was 38 and a half years old when he was crucified April 3, 33 AD from his birth September 12, 7 BC - there is no year zero.
Genesis 40:20 "And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants."
April 1, 2317 BC was Tuesday the third day of the week. April 1 was always Pharaoh's birthday = 430th year sothis. New Years had backed up 430 / 4 days 107 days from July 17 to April 1. Then the sun miracle of Yao may have been April 1, 2315 BC = the same day Joseph was taken out of prison and made governor over Egypt.
April 2, 2315 BC was the full moon, what would become the Passover = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Genesis 41:1 "And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river."
Two whole years later, April 1, 2315 BC is the full moon = the day the sun stood still for 9 days on China when Yao was made emperor, and Joseph made governor of Egypt.
Then a few years after Joseph was born Jacob arrived in Peniel in about 2343 BC. Thus, the sun suddenly ascended in Peniel about 2343 BC in emperor Gaoxin's 45th year that was an omen for him to appoint a successor.
2315 BC was 2308 years before Jesus was born. The Sojourn of Jacob into Egypt was in 2307 BC, 2300 years before Jesus was born. Then subtract 49 year jubiles: 2309 - 490 - 490 - 490 - 490 = 349 years. 5 X 50 years = 350 years to 7 BC.
Just after the sun had suddenly ascended in the east in Judges 8:13:
Judges 8:17 "And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city."
Then the sun may have returned Thursday, February 5, 1239 BC or Friday, February 6, 1239 BC, and this be the six day moon of king Wan's dream in the first month of the Chinese Spring and the sun may have stood still 12 hours at noon. Thus, all 48 missing hours of earth's sped up reverse orbit are countered; 12 hours February 4, 1241 BC, 24 hours August 10, 1241 BC, 12 hours + 12 hours February 4, 1240 BC, 24 hours August 10, 1240 BC, 12 hours February 5, 1239 BC = 2 X 48 hours.
Perhaps the battle of Merom was fought on this day. Then the Israelites may have chased the Midianites into Syria, February 5, 1239 BC, and this be the Assyrian Omen:
"If in Adar the sun stands still in the middle of noontime: the land will experience siege (and) misery."
The counting of February 29 as a 48 hour day in the Roman calendar. Sun miracles in Adar / February of a 24 hour longer day, such as in Esther on Purim from Adar 13.
The year before in February 4, 1242 BC the new moon was in Nissan. Every three years a second month of Adar was added.
Thus, the counting of the lunar year was always approximate and was adjusted every three years.
Simply, the 12th month of Adar could be counted from the Hebrew new moon February 1, 1239 BC and perhaps the sun standing still below the western horizon on China, and at noon on Israel = the siege and misery when Joshua chased the Assyrians into Syria and unto Zidon.
The battle of Merom should have been fought the 21st day of the first month, February 4, 1240 BC. King Wan's dream must be one year later, February 5, 1239 BC.
The new year began in September in Egypt as a countdown to redemption with the Passover March 30 - the end of the 430th year. The year end in sothis year 430 from the new sothis cycle in 2737 BC was Hebrew lunar day 14, April 1, 2307 BC. So the Exodus was the same day at the end of the 1460 year from 2741 BC, or 1456 years from 2737 BC - Sirius appeared to start the sothis cycle one day earlier from July 17 instead of July 16 = 4 years earlier, sothis cycle 1281 BC. Also, Sirius is a binary star. This means in its 50 year orbit it may appear on July 16 or July 17 depending on the phase of its orbit. Thus, on July 17, 1282 BC Sirius must have been visible at 4:15 AM to end the old sothis cycle. 2741 BC - 1460 = 1281 BC. Or 2737 BC - 1456 years = 1281 BC.
Likewise Jesus began his ministry in Luke 4 on Rosh Hashanah August 28, 29 AD or on the jubile Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD, or more likely the jubile Yom Kippur October 7, 29 AD, as a countdown to his crucifixion, resurrection and redemption for three and a half years later.
Genesis 40:20 "And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants."
Genesis 41:1 "And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river."
The third day was Pharaoh's birthday, Friday, April 1, 2318 BC:
Thus, the baker was hung on a cross on the same day Friday as Jesus was crucified. The Egyptian lunar month began with the last visibility of the moon. This was March 19, 2318 BC. Then the 14th day of the month, when the Passover would be held, was Friday, April 1, 2318 BC. The Egyptians had a fixed 10 day week. So IV Shemu 30 would be July 16. Then I Shemu 1 would be March 20, 2318 BC. Then I Shemu 10 would be March 29, 2318 BC. Then the third day of that 10 day week would be April 1, 2318 BC. This calculation was not dependent on the year, but works for every year because this was the Egyptian's fixed calendar. The end of the year in 2315 BC was year 422 and was April 2, 105 days back from July 16.
A sun angel, the kelin, appeared in Yao's seventh year - either from 2325 BC or 2315 BC. If Yao's first year was in 2325 BC, his seventh year would be this 2318 BC and a sun miracle.
Most likely Yao reigned from 2315 BC and his seventh year be 2308 BC = the first year of famine in Egypt, and possibly a sun miracle = the kelin = the qilin = the sun angel, and the first year of Yao when the sun stood still for nine days = 9 X 180° was April 1, 2315 BC = 10 days before the spring equinox April 11, 2315 BC = the four stars marking the four seasons = 1400 years in forward precession of the equinoxes = the first year of the seven years of plenty in Egypt = when Joseph was made governor over Egypt.
April 1 was Pharaoh's birth day by tradition. Thus, Joseph was made governor over Egypt after two full years in prison at the end of the two full years, on new years April 2, 2315 BC.
Before Christ we use the Julian calendar with a leap year of February 29 every four years that matches the Egyptian sothis calendar.
The Egyptian calendar added one day every four years, much like our February 29 - only it was not on February 29. After dates BC, Before Christ, we use the Gregorian calendar that matches our year of 365.24 days - a little different than the Julian and Egyptian calendar of 365.25 days.
So, in astronomy programs April 1 always remains the same date, the same date in the Egyptian Sothis calendar.
Thus, the day Joseph became governor over Egypt, April 1, 2315 BC was on Pharaoh's birthday. Also this was the day the sun stood still in China whereupon Yao was made emperor. This was 11 days before the vernal equinox April 12, 2315 BC and thus the four stars that marked the four seasons were 1400 years more recent in precession. This is because it takes 1400 years for the equinox to back up from April 12 to April 1 in the Julian calendar. Thus, the sun moved to the other side of the earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun and the path of the earth through the zodiac changed the stars marking the seasons to 1400 years in the future.
The 50 year jubile from 2368 BC would be 2318 BC. Joseph may have been put in prison in 2318 BC. Then there should be more than two years to this April 1, 2315 BC when Joseph was called to interpret Pharaoh's dream and became governor over all Egypt.
From 2369 BC are 49 year jubiles, 49 years to 2320 BC, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Likewise from 2368 BC are 50 year jubiles, 50 years to 2318 BC, to Jesus' sacrifice. Many sun miracle were on years X68 BC = 100's of years to Jesus' sacrifice. Many 49 year jubiles were recorded, 490 years from the building of the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Even from the year Jacob entered Egypt April 1, 2307 BC are 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Then the fortieth year was from March 30, 1281 BC to the twelfth lunar month of the 40th year, December 1242 BC.
Pharaoh Merneptah died May 2, 1203 BC according to contemporary sources. However, as seen here, Merneptah died in 1281 BC. Yet the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC to May 2, 1281 BC is 32 days. 14 days is too short a time to travel to Aqaba. 32 days is just long enough for the children of Israel to travel the rough terrain more than 350 miles from Ramesses to Aqaba where they may have crossed the Red Sea.
Nevertheless, the Children of Israel crossed the Reed Sea = a fresh water sea = the eastern most fork of the Nile River; not the Red Sea.
May 2, 1281 would be III Shemu 15. April 2, 1281 BC would be II Shemu 15. Thus, April 2, 1281 BC the children of Israel may have crossed the Reed Sea, II Shemu 15.
Thus, it was the Reed Sea in eastern Egypt that the Children of Israel crossed, about April 2, 1281 BC. Jesus' sacrifice was April 3, 33 AD. The Passover March 30, 1281 BC was the spring equinox: 1281 / 128 = 10; 10 days in correction to the Julian calendar from March 30 to our spring in March 20.
Exodus 13:4 "This day came ye out in the month AbibH24."
H24 אָבִיב 'âbı̂yb aw-beeb' From an unused root (meaning to be tender); green, that is a young ear of grain; hence the name of the month Abib or Nisan: - Abib, ear, green ears of corn. Total KJV occurrences: 8
Below you will see three anchor dates, II Shemu 25, May 14, 1338 BC and IV Peret 12, December 30, 1332 BC. Every 19 years the lunar date will match the fixed Egyptian date. So add 76 years to May 14, 1338 BC and we have the solar eclipse June 14, 1414 BC = II Shemu 25.
Pharaoh Seti I may have reigned 11 years not 15 years. Thus, the Pharaohs reigns before be 4 years later. Then Pharaoh Akhenaten may have reigned 76 years back, not back from 1341 BC to 1417 BC but Akhenaten may have reigned the 17 years from 1424 BC to 1407 BC.
Ramses I first year would be 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Amen Hotep III must have reigned from 1468 BC 39 years to 1430 BC or 39 years from 1464 BC to 1425 BC.
Pharaoh Akhenaten reigned 18 years to 1407 BC.
Smenkhkare reigned one year to 1406 BC.
Neferneferuaten reigned one year to 1405 BC.
King Tut reigend nine years to 1396 BC.
Ay reigned four years to 1393 BC.
Thus, again there may have been a sun miracle in 1468 BC, 1500 years to Jesus' sacrifice. And again 39 years later a sun miracle in 1430 BC that would equal the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life. And give Akhenaten a motive to worship the sun.
There may have been a sun miracle in this 1368 BC, whereupon Ramses I died and Seti I became Pharaoh. Seti I put down a rebellion in Nubia in his 8th year = 1361 BC = the year Moses was born.
1368 BC also = Woo-ting's 32nd and 34th year when the Chinese emperor subdued the Demon regions.
Likewise add 76 years to December 30, 1332 BC and we have the solar eclipse January 29, 1407 BC = IV Peret 12. Merneptah died a few months short of a full ten year reign beginning in July or June of 1291 BC. His death should be in April 1281 BC.
Merneptah's son Messuwy would be the likely successor. The letters Mes mean son.
Exodus 12:29 "And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said."

Here you see the two eclipse paths. Remember there is no year 0, and NASA Fortran counts a year 0. Then all dates are one year further back. You can see the solar eclipse of June 14, 1414 BC is visible at sunset in Egypt. Sunset is when most people would look at the sun. The solar eclipse of January 29, 1407 BC is visible at sunrise in Egypt. This is also when many people would be looking at the sun. Thus, the Egyptian chronology must be moved 76 years further back, 4 X 19 years.
Then we have some of the most ancient solar eclipse records. These also predate Joshua's long day. Thus, eclipse dates before Joshua's long day are where we would expect them to be.
This eclipse record for June 14, 1414 BC, II Shemu 25, as calculated here may be the earliest actual eclipse on record. The Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses projecting to where they should be backward in time are completely correct.
Here you see the eclipse path for the solar eclipse April 11, 1411 BC, instead of March 13, 1335 BC. This is the 24 Peret IV year 5. Notice how the solar eclipse is visible from Northern Egypt:
The new moon April 1, 1410 BC would occur on Pharaoh's birthday = the day of Jacob's entry into Egypt on the 430th year, new years. 430 / 4 = 107. 107 days back from new years July 16, is the full moon April 3, 2307 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Also, there may have been many sun miracles on April 1 through the centuries to point to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the importance of this new moon on April 1.
The full moon, December 26, 1409 BC:
Here you see the eclipse path for the solar eclipse January 29, 1407 BC, instead of December 30, 1332 BC.
Note 1407 BC is 1400 years before Jesus' birth. Certainly the eclipse record matches. Even so, a sun miracle the same year as well would be taken as an omen by Akhetaten in his 9th year. There are no more records of Akhetaten after the second month of his twelfth year. A sun miracle in 1407 BC may be taken as an auspicious omen for Akhetaten, the sun Pharaoh that he died a few years later.
Notice how the 76 years work. There was 66 years for Ramses II and 10 years for Merneptah = the same 76 years. Thus, from Merneptah's death estimated in 1205 BC, this works perfectly with 1281 BC 76 years earlier. This is why you will see the date of 1281 BC for Pharaoh Seti I's death in 1281 BC. Therefore the date of 1281 BC is correct for the date of the Exodus. Only the Pharaoh of the Exodus is Merneptah, not Seti I.
Ramses II reigned into his 67th year = 66 years.
Exodus 2:23 "And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage."
"the king of Egypt died" is Ramses II in 1291 BC.
"there are no dates recorded for Seti I after his Year 11 Gebel Barkal stela" - source Wikipedia
Back from Pharaoh Merneptah 1281 BC is ten years to 1291 BC = The 50 year jubile begun with Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, Ramses II 66 years = 1357 BC, back 11 years to Pharaoh Seti I first year = 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
There may have been a sun miracle in 1368 BC that was taken as an omen to depose Pharaoh Ramses 1. Ramses means Ra bore him = the sun bore him. Thus, a sun miracle in 1368 BC may begin the eleven year reign of Seti I to Ramses II in 1357 BC.
The solar eclipse of January 29, 1407 BC may mark the year 1400 years to Jesus' birth by a sun miracle also that year.
Every 19 years the lunar cycle is the same date. Thus, 4 X 19 = this 76 years and solar eclipse dates. Then also, in Jesus' 38 years the lunar cycle in his first year must match the lunar cycle in his 38th year. Also, Jesus born the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC to his crucifixion the 14th day of the first month.
Jesus' birth perhaps Saturday, September 12, 7 BC on the 17th lunar day of the seventh month; = 2 X 19 years the 17th lunar day of the seventh month was Friday, September 12, 32 AD. Half an orbit before Jesus' sacrifice on April 3, 33 AD was the full moon, Wednesday, October 7, 32 AD = the 15th day of the feast of Tabernacles.
If the Essene Yom Kippur was a Friday = lunar day 10, then the feast of tabernacles, lunar day 15, was a Wednesday.
Likewise, Jesus was crucified the full moon Friday, April 3, 33 AD. 2 X 19 years earlier, the full moon was Sunday, April 4, 6 BC.
Moses must have been born in 1361 BC. Then the practice of killing Hebrew boys would end with the death of Seti I in 1357 BC when Moses was four years old.
This chronology means the new sothis cycle began the year of the Exodus 1281 BC. This because II Shemu 25 was June 14, 1414 BC. IV Shemu must end July 16. Thus, IV Shemu ended June 14 + 5 + 30 + 30 = August 17, 1414 BC.
Then back from August 17 to July 16 is 33 days. 33 X 4 = 132 years. 1414 - 132 years = 1282 BC the year of the new sothis cycle. Thus, the Exodus was the beginning of the new sothis cycle of 1460 years in Egypt.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was from the four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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."
From the 430th sothis year with the first year 2737 BC and the 430th year 2307 BC. The end of the 430th year is the end of the Sothis cycle of 1460 years. Thus, the Exodus was at the end of the sothis cycle, 2741 BC - 1460 years is 1281 BC. Or rather, 2737 BC - 1456 years = 1281 BC. The end of the year in the 430th of sothis was Friday April 1, 2307 BC. Thus, the Exodus the night of Friday, March 30, 1281 BC the selfsame day.
The word "Bet" does not mean "for" it means "from". The character Bet is shaped like a one room house. The meaning of Bet is house. In the 430th Egyptian Sothis year = 430 / 4 = 107 days back from July 16 = April 1. The sun was in the Aries constellation April 1. The house of the zodiac in Aries on April 1. The Exodus was when the sun was in this same house as the Sojourn into Egypt April 1.
The full moon was Sunday April 3, 2307 BC. The selfsame day may be Sunday, April 3, 2307 BC instead of Friday April 1, 2307 BC. Jesus was crucified Friday, April 3, 33 AD. April 3, 2307 BC was about day 53 of cycle 60. Day 53 was cited as an omen a few times. If the sun moved to the other side of earth April 3, 2307 BC, the sun may move back half an orbit later, 186 days later, on day 60 of cycle 60, also a day of cycle of an omen.
Galatians 3:17 "And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect."
The law was given at the end, the end of the Egyptian sothis calendar. The sojourn from year 430 to the Exodus in year 1456.
The Exodus must have been Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and the crossing of the Reed Sea three days later. However, the children of Israel may have crossed the Red Sea instead several days later.
The following are Egyptian records. They are based on the end of the sothis cycle to be 1320 BC which is 40 years earlier than the actual end of the sothis cycle 1281 BC. Also, the actual chronology is 76 years earlier than these dates. (76 + 40) / 4 = 29. Thus, both the day of the same Egyptian 30 day month is the same and the lunar phase, 29.5 days, of that date is the same. Thus, these prove Merneptah was the Pharaoh of the Exodus:
Some consider Seti I to be the Pharaoh that drowned in the Red Sea 1279 BC of Exodus because some date Ramses II to have died in 1213 BC too late a date for the Exodus because the forty years in the wilderness would bring the invasion of Canaan to 1173 BC, way too recent a date.
About the same date, the Exodus was Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and the death of the Pharaoh Merneptah not long after.
There is some indication Pharaoh Merneptah did die from drowning: "Dr Bucaille discovered that Merneptah had received very violent blows to several parts of his body and had suffered a massive heart attack.
Amazingly, these are the results which occur when someone dies from drowning!" "In 1898, the mummified body of Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a violent shock which immediately preceded the moment of drowning." "In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning"
Two facts:
Merneptah was the Pharaoh to 1281 BC.
Merneptah died April/May.
Then the Exodus on the Passover Friday, March 30, 1281 BC, and the crossing of the Reed Sea to the seventh day of unleavened bread April 5, 1281 BC. Jesus rose from the dead April 5, 33 AD.
The death of Merneptah in April/May of 1281 BC = 76 years back from 1205 BC, means Merneptah must be the Pharaoh of Exodus and that he died probably by drowning when the Egyptians tried to cross the Red/Reed Sea. He was the captain, and even at 70 he probably was the first one in, on the dry ground with a wall of water on both sides.
There were Israelite settlers already in the land, re the Merneptah Stela, and the lunar date for Ramses II 52nd year must work. This would mean Ramses II must have begun his reign 76 years earlier in 1357 BC.
Ramses II 52nd year was dated by the 28th day of the moon December 20, 1228 BC = 20-XII-1228 B.C. (year 52 II prt 28). The fixed 30 day months began July 22 and December 20 began a new month on the 28th day of the moon.
"Re raises the vault the first day in the second period of peret (prt). That must be 21st December"
However, December 20, 1304 BC is also the 28th day of the moon. (More accurately December 18 is the 28th day of the Egyptian moon and the beginning of the II peret) 1279 BC (Exodus) - 1203 BC (Merneptah drowned) = 76 year gap. Then 76 + 1279 BC = 1355 BC and
From 1357 BC Ramses II's 52nd year may be 1306 BC.
Only, Pharaoh Merneptah's death in 1205 BC is 76 years further back to 1281 BC. Merneptah reigned from 1291 BC and 76 years further back is the beginning of the reign of Ramses II in 1357 BC and 11 years further back is the beginning of the reign of Seti I in 1368 BC.

Moses left Egypt when he was forty years old in 1321 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus fulfilling the jubile when he began his ministry when he spoke from Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18.
Thus, you see there is ample proof the Exodus was at then end of the 1460 year, one day early from 2737 BC = 1456 year, sothis cycle in 1281 BC at the time of the new year in the sojourn into Egypt in year 430, 2307 BC April 1, and thus the Exodus on the same day March 30, 1281 BC. Then also, there is much evidence that the Pharaoh of the Exodus was Merneptah.
After Merneptah, Egypt suffered steep decline, recorded in 1177 BC + 76 years = 1253 BC = 28 years after the Exodus, as to be expected with the destruction of the plagues of the Exodus.
Pharaoh Merneptah must date 76 years earlier. This would put King Tut's tenth and last year 1407 BC. There may have been a sun miracle then, 1407 BC is 1400 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. A sun miracle may have been taken for an omen to kill King Tut.
"We gave credence to Censorinus' statement as to the date of Sothis rising heliacally on the first of the month Thoth in +139 ("In the year of the second consulship of the Emperor Antonius Pius and Brutus Praesens.") certain support for this date was found in the calendar date of the rising of Sothis in the year of the Canopus Decree."
"But if one Great Year ended and another began in +139, the event must have occurred in the lifetime of Claudius Ptolemy, actually in the mid-period of the prolific writing (+127 to +151) of this greatest astronomer of antiquity. Claudius Ptolemy was a resident of Alexandria. Nowhere in his writings is the event ever mentioned; neither did he display an awareness of Sothic computation though he dwelt in great detail with astronomical and calendar matters of his own age and of preceding centuries, even studying the Babylonian records of the eclipses 800 years before his time. Living in Alexandria and occupying himself with these matters, how could he remain unaware of or silent of the event of the Great Year in Egypt in his lifetime?"
Ages in Chaos, III: Peoples of the Sea, p.238
Simply, the Great Year must end at 179 AD = 40 years more recent. There was the statement "Great Pan is Dead" that was thought to mean Sirius did no longer rise before the sun July 16. The Exodus was at the end of the Sothis in 1281 BC, not 1320 BC, 1460 years after 1281 BC is 179 AD.
The sothis cycle should have been kept 1460 years from this 1281 BC of the Exodus to 179 AD. The plagues were so severe the Egyptians may not have wanted to remember the new sothis cycle. They did not record 76 years of their history and their Pharaohs, because Merneptah died in 1281 BC in the Red/Reed Sea, and not in 1205 BC. Even Pharaoh Shoshenq is 76 years further back to match Solomon and his invasion in the fifth year of Rehoboam.
See Shishak: 1 Kings 11:40, 14:25 and 2 Chronicles 12:2-9.
Solomon reigned 40 years from 1044 BC to 1004 BC, 240 years from the Exodus in 1281 BC to his building the Temple at Jerusalem in 1041 BC. His son Rehoboam reigned 17 years to 987 BC.
The Armenian Sothis cycle from 5368 BC 1461 years to 3907 BC, 1460 years to 2447 BC, 1460 years to 987 BC.
The Armenian Sothis cycle began 987 BC 1460 years back from 476 AD. The less 76 years both Egyptian and Armenian. 552 AD less 76 years = 476 AD.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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."
From the 430th of the Sothis 2737 BC = 2307 BC of the second year of famine in Egypt of Joseph, 40 generations, to the Exodus at the end of the Sothis calendar 1281 BC.
From the New Year, 430 / 4 = 107 days back from July 16 = April 1, 2307 BC to the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC - April 1 = March 30 = the selfsame day and also = Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Hebrews 4:8 "For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."
Joshua's long day must have been on the Sabbath to fulfill scripture:
Hebrews 4:4 "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time: as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not have spoken of another day.
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
Joshua's long day may have been on the Sabbath, Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. Joshua could not give Israel rest that day because they were fighting to conquer the promised land.
However, when the sun returned one and a half orbits later about February 5, 1239 BC at king Wan's dream that would be about Friday and about the Sabbath Friday evening and perhaps at the battles of Merom, and Deborah and Barak; Joshua 11 and Judges 4, 5.
Thus, three dates, the battle of Jericho, Joshua's long day, and perhaps the battle of Merom were fought on the Sabbath.
Jesus could not give his disciples rest when he was in the grave on the Sabbath, Saturday, after he was crucified because his disciples were mourning his death until his resurrection early Sunday morning.
5 sun miracles: 180° February 4, 1241 BC, 360° August 10, 1241 BC, 360° February 4, 1240 BC, 360° August 10, 1240 BC, 180° February 5, 1239 BC.
The sun may have stood still at the crossing of the river Jordan by Israel February 4, 1241 BC by moving 180° with earth's rotation = the sun on the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit. Then half an orbit later, on Joshua's long day, the sun revolve 360° with earth's rotation. Then half an orbit later, one year after the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1240 BC, the sun stand still at the battle of Merom by moving 180° with earth's rotation again. Long days of 12 hours, 24 hours and 12 hours = this same sped up orbit of 48 hours.
The sun has been moved back, and earth has flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun into its regular orbit of the sun.
View the power point presentation step by step animation of the above model. Or the joshua.pdf.
There may have been three years of reverse orbit from February 4, 1242 BC to king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
In three years there can be 12 sun miracles as the sun moves back and forth every half orbit.
In two years, from February 4, 1241 BC to February 5, 1239 BC there can be 8 sun miracles, including two at every half orbit.
You can see in the above orbits that earth in a reverse orbit has 2 more days a year. This means earth must speed up in its reverse orbit 48 hours, 2 X 24 hour days, to keep 365.2422 days a year. Or else there would be 367.2422 days a year. That is, earth must speed up from 105,000 kilometers an hour to 105,570 kilometers an hour.
Likewise, the moon in earth's reverse orbit has two more lunar months a year. Thus, the moon must slow down two orbits a reverse orbit year. There are 27.322 days a lunar orbit. Then in a reverse orbit the moon must slow down 54.644 days a year to keep the normal 12 lunar months a year. Because earth is sped up 48 hours a year, the moon must speed up 48 hours a year as well. So the moon must slow down 52.644 days in its orbit of the earth in a reverse orbit year to keep the same 12.36 lunar months a year. That is, the moon must slow down from 3,600 kilometers an hour to 3,100 kilometers an hour.
The moon should slow its monthly orbit by four days = 48 hours to still have 29.5 days a lunar month. That is, the moon orbits the earth in 27.3 days = 2 days less than a lunar month as seen from earth. Then 2 days the other direction from 27.3 days to 25.3 days = a total of 4 days slower lunar orbit to equal 29.5 lunar days on earth. Each lunar month would be four hours faster to equal 48 hours faster in 12 lunar months in one earth reverse orbit year.
All these orbits are relative to earth. Tides etc. would be exactly the same relative to the day. Scientists measure how many tides = lunar orbits a year in sediment. They can then calculate the length of the day. However, in this controlled reverse orbit the number of lunar orbits a year is exactly the same as normal. The lunar tide and the solar tide that day should match the sediment layer that day. The length of the year with long days is exactly the same as well. No evidence was left.
There is a red light flashing and clearly visible in the middle of a NASA computer room, from 50 years NASA.
From the Missing Day Story: "The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards."
They called in the service department to check it out and they said, "It's perfect." The head of operations said, "What's wrong?" "Well, we have found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time." They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. One religious fellow on the team said, "You know, one time when I was in Sunday School they talked about the sun standing still."
The space program began in earnest in 1958 so by 1969 when Harold Hill heard of the Missing Day NASA was capable of discovering it. According to Harold Hill NASA discovered it in the 1960's space mission to the moon. Simply finding a result that was an error could cause the red light to come up. Such a result could be that the sun was 180° away from where should be, like in king Wan's dream, would cause the program to halt.
Project Blue Book began in 1952 when NASA investigated UFO reports. It was terminated in 1970. Thus, if NASA was doing all this research at the time the missing day story came out in 1969, all the more reason NASA would also look into the Chinese Classics. It only took me a matter of months of reading the Chinese Classics in 1999 to uncover earth's reverse orbit.
The Chinese Classics, Volume III, the Shoo King or the Book of Historical Documents, was published in 1960, from The University of Michigan Libraries, Hong Kong University Press.
The sun returned one year after, either the fall of Jericho February 16, 1241 BC or the crossing of the river Jordan February 4, 1241 BC, six months after Joshua's Long Day = the battle of Merom and Judges 4, 5. Either February 16, 1240 BC or February 4, 1240 BC.
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow, The Chinese Classics.
Joshua's six day moon in Israel was above in China, Joshua's noon sun was setting in China. One and a half an orbits later = 365 days + 179 days later - February 5, 1239 BC - there was a six day moon also. The Chinese spring was 45 days before the spring equinox. The spring equinox in 1240 BC was April 1, 1240 BC - 45 days before was February 16. Thus, the sixth day of the first lunar month of spring would count from February 5, 1239 BC = 10 days before the 45 days before the spring equinox.
Thus, the month before April 2, 1239 BC was 2 + 31 + 24 = 57 days. King Wan's dream was 57 days before the spring equinox, and thus is the first month of spring.
Pentecost marked about 45 days before the summer solstice June 20. In 1240 BC the summer solstice was June 30 in the Julian calendar.
The planets were in Fang/Libra, the sun in Virgo - a Fall constellation. The sun is in Virgo in September. So September in no way could be called Spring! This was the position the sun, moon and planets were in prior to king Wan's long sunset. The date was the first week of the first month of Spring when the sun must be in Pisces but was in Virgo!
In the Missing Day Story, there may have been a computer check that gave an error when the wrong season of the year was entered in regards to the position of the sun. Fall was the answer the computer was looking for. Spring was entered. Then the red light. Once they obtained the date the earth was nearest the sun in 1240 BC and the Assyrian Omen date of Adar, January/February - the same date as the Chinese Spring, for the sun standing still at noon, they could calculate the missing 40 minutes on a slide rule, or with a pen and paper, or in the head if you can carry over division.
188 / 365.25; 180/360 = .5; 8 / 5.25 = 1.52; .5152 X 48 = 24.7; .7 X 60 = 42 minutes.
While watching the lunar landing 50 years ago, July 1969, there were lots of scientists at mission control writing with a pen and paper. They could do this math with a pen and paper very easily. Every terminal had a keyboard also with a numerical keyboard, that could do this math like a calculator. Right away they would know a half orbit of 188 days multiplied against 48 hours of earth's sped up orbit, equaled 24 hours and 40 minutes. The first half orbit was sped up 23 hours and 20 minutes = the missing 40 minutes.
The Assyrian Omen was for the battle of Merom when Joshua chased the Assyrians into Zidon a year after the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, when the sun must return. From Megiddo/Merom to Zidon is about 70 miles. Hardly is it possible to chase the Assyrians 70 miles in a normal 12 hour day.
The sun should return on Adar on February 4, 1240 BC, a plus 24 hours longer day, at the battle of Merom in Joshua 11. The sun returned for a 12 hour longer day on February 5, 1239 BC. Therefore, on February 4, 1240 BC there may have been a + 24 hours longer day like there was for Joshua August 10, 1241 BC, for the same reason for long days to equal 48 hours a reverse orbit year.
It was very possible for Joshua to chase the Assyrians from Merom to Zidon in 24 hours. Both the Assyrian Omen for the sun standing still at noon in Adar = February there will be seige and misery = losing the battle to Israel = six months after Joshua's long day be February 4, 1240 BC, and one year later be king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC and Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC: all were for the years 1241 BC/1240 BC/1239 BC = two years.
The 10th day of the first month of Nissan was the crossing of the River Jordan, Febraury 4, 1241 BC. The next year a second month of Adar may have been added. Adar is about February = the Assyrian Omen perhaps February 4, 1240 BC.
Some of the talented people employed in the mission to the moon may have been the ones to discover the missing day.
Or else I am the first to discover the model of Joshua's long day.
Here again you see the position of the planets, Jupiter and Saturn in the west at sunset, by the Pleiades, and the sun in Pisces. Jupiter and Saturn would be in Scorpius 180° away and the sun in Virgo also 180° away, 12 hours previous, just as was described in king Wan's dream in king Wan's first year.
Here you see all five planets including Mars in the night sky at 6:20 PM just as the sky became dark. China counted a new day from when the sky was dark.
Earth's orbit was not tilted. The path of earth around the sun was the same in reverse. When the sun was moved to the other side of the earth, the sun would be moved up or down to keep earth in the same season. Yet, this orbit was not tilted, only the sun was where it would be six months later in the path of the zodiac.
The position of the planets in the TheSky February 5, 1239 BC:
Top View. You can see the planets are left behind to form a conjunction in the west as the sun revolves 180 degrees counter clock wise around the earth in the evening sky above the setting sun in China. Thus, if all five planets moved back, they would first appear in Scorpius/Fang directly above at sunset in China:
The position sideways of earth, sun and planets after the sun moved back, February 5, 1239 BC:
Here you see the tilt of the plane of orbit. The sun must move up or down the day the sun moved 180° to keep earth in the same season.
The sun must also be moved at the same distance from the earth to keep earth in the same season.
The moon may be moved nearer or further to create the same ocean tide, such as to match a tide of measure 9 that on the other side of the earth was a measure 8 = to keep that measure 8.
The position of the earth, the sun and planets before the sun moved back, February 5, 1239 BC:
The sun being moved 180° to the other side of the earth in the path of the zodiak where the sun would normally be in six months. Thus, the orbit is not tilted, just the sun is moved up or down to where it would normally be in six months. That is, the sun is moved up or down to keep earth in the same season.
And moving the sun to the path of the zodiak 180° away also keeps the earth in the same season. So, although you see a tilt here, in truth the path of the earth through the stars is the same through the stars of the zodiak.
The sun at 6 PM China time was in Corvus, the planets appeared above in Scorpius February 5, 1239 BC. Thus, at the start of the sun miracle the planets were in Scorpius. Then the sun in Corvus moved 180° with earth's rotation to Aquarius/Pisces. Thus, at the start of the long sunset at 6 PM China time the planets were above in Scorpius as they were recorded.
This record in Spring is impossible without earth being in a reverse orbit of the sun having moved to the other side of the earth one year earlier. Jupiter and Saturn would stand still above the western sky and set in Aries and Taurus where they should be February 5, 1239 BC.
However, light from Saturn - to earth, would take about 80 minutes. Thus, Saturn would still appear in Scorpius/Fang for eighty minutes - or longer, after sunset in China. Thus, all five planets would first appear in Fang/Scorpius, and stay there. The sun stood just below the western horizon for 12 hours on China. Then earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun without a trace.
Then in the next 12 hours of the night, after about 24 hours in total, in China, Saturn may complete the move to Aries. Likewise Jupiter would appear with Saturn in Scorpius, before the sun miracle, before moving 180° to Aries, and Jupiter would stay in the Fang/Scorpius constellation, before slowly moving to Aries in about 12 hours.
That is, Jupiter would appear to be slowly moving 180° in 12 hours. Light from the sun to Jupiter takes 40 minutes. That is 5 X the distance of earth to the sun = 5.4 Astronomic Units. For Jupiter to move 180° in 12 hours Jupiter must move 122 million miles per hour. The speed of light is 670 million miles per hour. This Jupiter's speed be one seventh the speed of light
Saturn is 886 million miles from the sun. Jupiter is 468 million miles from the sun. The speed of light is 670 million miles per hour.
Also, God moved the planets around the earth, not around the sun. Earth is 93 million miles from the sun. So the distance from the sun plus or minus 93 million miles.
To make Jupiter or Saturn or Mars appear at the same position = to stand still in the sky, as earth rotated, Saturn would need to be moved at 231 million miles per hour = one third the speed of light, 670 million miles per hour, and Jupiter moved at 122 million miles per hour = one seventh the speed of light, and Mars moved at 37 million miles per hour.
Thus, the planetary conjunction in Fang/Scorpius, king Wan saw Jupiter and Saturn before they were moved when God moved the sun 180° back = a long sunset and a time delay of light of 40 minutes for Jupiter and 80 minutes for Saturn to reach the earth.
Here you can see the path of the zodiac, of the sun, in the orange dots, across the stars in this star globe. Essentually this is the same as the path of the ecliptic on a globe of the earth. Thus, earth's orbit does not tilt when the sun is moved to the other side of earth. Only, the sun is moved 180° to these orange dots of the ecliptic and earth stays at the same angle to the sun for the season the earth is presently in.
You can see the equator line across the middle. The sun directly above the earth in the orange dots; up to the tropic of Cancer at 23° north latitude, down to the tropic of Capricorn at 23° south latitude. Thus, this star globe is much like a globe of the earth.
Simply moving the sun to the other side of earth's orbit puts the earth in the same season. It is like tilting earth's orbit to keep earth in the same season, only the path of orbit does not change at all. The zodiac of 12 constellations is the same, only the sun is six signs away when the sun is moved to the other side of earth, and the zodiac progressing in reverse while earth orbits in reverse. The season is the same, there is no trace.
Here you see a globe of the earth. You can see the line of the Tropic of Cancer 23° above the equator. The name "Tropic of Cancer" in small letters to the right of the islands of Hawaii. Likewise, the tropic of Capricorn is 23° below the equator, and you can see the name "Tropic of Capricorn" in small letters to the bottom right.
On the summer solstice the sun is directly above the tropic of Cancer. On the winter solstice the sun is directly above the tropic of Capricorn. What is true of the star globe is true about the earth globe.
Here you can see also, earth's axis tilt. Move the sun to the other side of the earth and the sun is high in summer, or the sun is low in winter. Simply move the sun up or down to keep earth in the same season, and the sun is still in the path of the zodiac = these same orange dots above.
Here you can see earth on the other side of its tilt. Thus you can see to keep earth in the same season the sun must move up or down when the sun was moved to the other side of the earth.
Each day in a reverse orbit must be 8 minutes shorter than it would have in a reverse orbit because earth must be sped up 2 days, 48 hours, a year to keep 365.24 days a year, or there would be 367 days a year because rotation is against orbit. The daily amount of heat radiation from the sun must have been adjusted to leave no biological trace in this 8 minutes less a day, 4 minutes less day light a day. Other than moving the sun at near light speed, there is nothing about this present physics cannot accommodate or expect there to be physical evidence left. If the physics works and leaves no evidence and fits ancient observation, then beware if you be so inclined to mock what may very well be God's work. If NASA is saying there is no trace, no physical evidence the sun moved, they are probably right.
"Did a NASA computer scientist discover a 'missing day' in a program used to calculate the positions of the planets, as forecast in the Bible?" NASA's answer: "a flat NO!!" Only this is not NASA's website!
However, NASA may be saying there is no evidence whatsoever of the sun being moved around the earth. Then the abundance of evidence documented on this web page directly contradicts that statement. If the sun moved to the other side of the earth, earth's forward momentum would carry earth into a reverse orbit of the sun. Earth must match its elliptical orbit in reverse perfectly. Earth almost certainly could not be left to itself. The reverse orbit must have been very skillfully managed to keep the sun's same seasonal intensity, as it would have had, throughout the year at the same time speeding up the yearly orbit 48 hours to keep the 365 days in a year because rotations are against orbit. If the sun moved earth must flow into a reverse orbit.
This answers both concerns: Earth is rotating at 1,000 mph at the equator and rushing at 70,000 mph around the sun.
You will read here of many reverse zodiacs/orbits. Some people have a hard time believing God could move the solar system around the earth. Well, let them. This is the truth, and if they won't believe it, they are responsible. The evidence on this page is reliable.
God has completely hidden these sun miracles. Earth's seasons continued the same in the reverse orbits as in the natural orbit.
Genesis 8:21 "And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
8:22 While earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
"day and night shall not cease" does not mean God cannot make the day longer, night longer, day shorter, night shorter, or the sun retreat across the sky. The promise was God would not again destroy the earth with water, and earth would continue. God made long days, yet the days continued.
The seasons would continue in the reverse orbit exactly the same as usual. Days would be 8 minutes shorter, adding up to 48 hours of long days a reverse orbit - hardly discernable. The seasons would continue, winter, spring, summer and fall, in the reverse orbit the same way as they did in earth's usual orbit.
We can see God kept all these promises at the same time moving the sun 180° around the earth and a little up or down to keep earth in the same season. Moving the sun around the earth at the same distance means there would be no change to earth's temperature.
However, in a total solar eclipse the temperature can drop more than 5 degrees. Reports from the total eclipse in the US August 21, 2017 are that the temperature noticeably dropped from 29° C to 17° C in five minutes. From where I was managing a coronado telescope for the public, the temperature noticeably cooled during maximum 83% the moon covered the sun. A neighbour reported the temperature in Kelowna dropped six degrees celsius during the 83% solar eclipse. There were very few clouds, and what clouds there were, were very light.
The earth facing away from the sun for 24 hours would normally get very cold. The temperature would need to be compensated for. In sudden darkness birds would turn in for the night, and plants would close up for the night. The sunny side of earth for 24 plus hours would require the sun to dim so as not to overheat the earth. Thus, Joshua asked God to dim the sun as well as stop the sun. The sun may have already been travelling west east that day. So Joshua would ask God to slow the sun to make the sun stand still in the middle of the sky. Yao recorded in 2315 BC, the sun miracle of Joseph in Genesis 37, the sun stood still for ten days and the earth was scorched.
Day and night depended on where the sun was and seeing earth continued to rotate day and night continued. Day was when the sun appeared. Thus, if the sun moved 180° east generally day/night was 12 hours longer or if the sun moved 180° west day/night was 12 hours shorter. Earth continued to rotate exactly as it would have untouched. Moreover, 12 hours day light of a normal day was a sign of the shortness of life. Nevertheless, there were many days of sun miracles in history with 12 hours more day light, or 36 hours, or 60 hours, or even 84 hours, more day light. In two years reverse orbit, long days must add up to 96 hours of long days.
Some will say this is not in the Bible. My response is, Oh yes, it is. Many of these days are in the Bible. And the Chinese record sun miracles on the same day and date as those in the Bible. The model of reverse orbit is in the Bible:
Joshua 10:13b "the sun stood still in the midst of heaven for about a whole day"
This verse literally reads the sun stood still from the half of heaven for about a whole day.
This means the sun revolved around the earth as earth rotated from half way back to half way to stand still in the sky for 24 hours either earth continued in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Or, the sun moved back on Joshua's long day and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Or, God moved the sun 12 hours with earth's rotation and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
There is also the possibility God moved the sun with earth's rotation on Joshua's long day and the following day moved the sun 180° again.
Here you see earth orbits counterclockwise normally.
The zodiac progresses normally on the left: Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricorn..
The zodiac progresses in reverse on the right: Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Libra, Virgo..
You can see not only does the zodiac progress in reverse in a reverse orbit, but also jumps six zodiac constellations. The inner planets Mercury and Venus and also Mars must also jump six constellations. The Chinese zodiac progresses in reverse perhaps because there were so many reverse orbits the Chinese thought they were normal.
This research would not have been necessary if only people read their Bibles. You cannot pick up the Bible without reading at least some hint of sun miracles.
Most people will immediately respond that God stopped the earth from rotating. However, God stopped the sun not the earth.
The sun may have risen in the west descending in the east. Thus, when Joshua asked God to stop the sun He must have slowed his movement of the sun so it appeared to stand still in the noon day sky.
Or this was a normal day, and God answered Joshua's request by immediately moving the sun with earth's rotation, either 180° for 12 hours, or 360°, for 24 hours.
A form letter from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD 20771 (from the internet):
We know nothing of Mr. Harold Hill and in no way can corroborate the "lost day" reference in the article.
The effects of epoch events such as leap year, Babylonian calendar sequential perturbations, etc., are considered in the development of long-term-running computer programs. We are limited somewhat in that many of our calculations terminate with Babylonian calendar events (4,000 years ago), but this has never given programmers any unexpected difficulties.
Although we make use of planetary positions as necessary in the determination of spacecraft orbits on our computers, I have not found that any "astronauts and space scientists at Greenbelt" were involved in the "lost day" story attributed to Mr. Hill.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Edward Mason, Chief
Office of Public Affairs
"but this has never given programmers any unexpected difficulties" Many dates are out by years. Pharaoh Merneptah died at the end of the Egyptian sothis calendar April 2, 1281 BC not in 1205 BC = 76 years further back. From Chinese emperor KI'ang died in 1107 BC to Ch'aou in 987 BC is a 120 year gap. From Darius 13 years too far back, 7 years too far back. Simply the wrong date matches the historical record, but the right date, day of week, lunar month of the year, day of lunar month, also matches the record. Thus, there were no difficuties because everything fits and they did not know they were wrong. Specifically, spring in the east is a real difficulty unless God moved the sun to the other side of the earth.
This may be the red light in the Missing Day Story. NASA computers often put up a red light and had to be seen to. The red light flashed from a post in the middle of the computer room.
You can see the red light in a NASA computer room, from 50 years NASA.
Yes, NASA made use of planetary positions. Yes, they were going back 4,000 years. All they would have to do was open the Chinese Classics and come to this record of king Wan's dream in Spring. Right away the computer would put up a red light that the sun cannot be in Leo in Spring! The six day moon directly above and the conjunction of the five planets in the west in Fang/Libra at sunset could not have been seen with the sun in Pisces. This five planet conjunction in Fang/Libra meant the sun was in Leo which is 180° from the sun in Pisces in January/February of the Chinese spring. Some have noted the discrepancy and tried to explain it away. Perhaps they misnamed Fall, Spring! This cannot be explained away.
Put this on record and take note: king Wan's dream gives the calculations of the Missing Day of Joshua as described in the Missing Day Story. The Chinese Spring was always counted with the lunar month in January/February/March.
Earth's normal orbit makes the sun appear in Pisces in spring. A few thousand years ago the sun was in Airies in Spring. Now precession is moving the equinox from Pisces to Aquarius. Thus, the song "The age of Aquarius."
This record of king Wan's dream was all that was needed to uncover Joshua's long day of 24 hours and 40 minutes. 24 hours 40 minutes plus 23 hours 20 minutes = 48 hours = the sped up earth orbit to = the same 365 day year in reverse.
Chinese Spring was calculated 45 days before the Spring equinox, April 1, 1240 BC, 90 days marking the total season. A computer would state the obvious: the sun had been in Virgo at sunset and moved 180° to Pisces, standing still below the horizon, then rising a little in the west over a 12 hour period. Thus, king Wan was clothed with the sun and the moon. Jupiter and Saturn were supposed to have been in Aries and Taurus 1240 BC. Taurus is 180° away from Fang/Libra! Mercury is one of these five planets depicted in Fang/Libra.
Mercury orbits very close to the sun. How could Mercury be in Fang/Libra 180° away from the sun in Pisces and still be next to the sun? No way! No way could Mercury be in conjunction with the other planets in Scorpius.
Together with a six day moon this record seems to depict the planets in the west just below the moon and just above the sun at sunset.
A computer service technician from NASA who started work just after the Missing Day Story came out emailed me from a newsgroup in about year 2000 AD that these computers often put up a red light and had to be seen to. He often wondered what could have triggered the red light perhaps in the same room he worked only a few years previous. He had heard of the missing day story in 1969 and when he came to work for NASA in 1970 he wondered what were the real calculations.
Yigael Yadin estimated Hazor was burned 1266 - 1233 BC while doing excavations there in 1958 and 1968. The Exodus has been correctly dated to 1280 BC for many years, although by accident.
Pharaoh Merneptah died at the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle at the Exodus at the crossing of the Red/Reed sea April 3, 1281 BC.
40 years later was Joshua's long day summer of 1241 BC. All the spacemen would have to do is look for king Wan's first year. King Wan's 35th year was recorded at the lunar eclipse, day 13 of cycle 60, of September 23, 1205 BC = king Wan's first year spring of 1239 BC.
The second long day of Joshua at Merom February 15, 1240 BC, or more likely February 5, 1240 BC, when Joshua chased the Midianites into Syria as far as Sidon which was more distance travelling than 12 hours or 6 hours of day light would allow.
This sun miracle in February was king Wan's dream occurring at the same time as the battle of Merom. They may have connected king Wan's dream to the year of Joshua's long day 1241 BC/1240 BC/1239 BC, that is one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day.
Then the computer would tell them this conjunction = Jupiter visible above the sun February 5, 1239 BC, and Jupiter not visible above the sun February 15, 1240 BC. Meaning king Wan's dream be in his 35th year, from February 5, 1239 BC.
This February 5, 1239 BC, in the first lunar month of the Chinese spring counted from 45 days before the spring equinox, and on the 6th day of the moon and the moon and planets be in Aries and Taurus = at the end of the day when the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
This day could only be king Wan's first year on this February 5, 1239 BC = his 35th year the lunar eclipse on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC = the 35th year the current year of Chinese counting. To produce the planetary conjunction the planets would be moved out of the way of the sun as it moved 180°. Thus, the five planets appeared in conjunction in Fang/Scorpius when the stars appeared.
The sun sets at 5 PM in February in China. Thus, the planets came out, were visible, at sunset.
So, the sun standing still 90° away at noon in Israel would mean a starry night in China, till the sun retreated 10° in the west = the missing 40 minutes. Thus, the sun moved 190° that is 10° more than 180°. That is, the sun rose 10° briefly in the west 12 hours later on China on king Wan's dream. The sun moved back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Next they would see the conjunction was recorded in Fang/Scorpius 180° away, and right away realize the five planets had moved 180° with the sun from Fang/Scorpius. With the sun 180° away they would discover the reverse orbit. Once they discovered the reverse orbit, they would discover earth must speed up 48 hours a year, 24 hours in a half orbit in one half of a year.
While they were looking at Assyrian Omens they would find the omen:
An Assyrian Omen: "If in Adar the sun stands still in the middle of noontime: the land will experience siege (and) misery."
Adar is January/February. February 4, 1240 BC is probably when the sun stood still at noon time for Joshua at Merom in Joshua 11, the same day in Judges 4 and 5. Then one year later, February 5, 1239 BC would be king Wan's dream. Then the sun may have stood still at Gibeon for Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC one and a half orbits before king Wan's dream.
Then the sun must return on the same date one year later after the the battle of Merom, on February 5, 1239 BC, where there was siege and misery in the month of Adar. The day February 5, 1239 BC, could have lasted 12 hours longer and Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC, 24 hours longer. Thus, the sun may have stood still when it returned as well when Joshua chased the Midianites into Syria. And thus it became an Assyrian omen.
And thus NASA had all the records it needed to find the missing day and the remaining missing 40 minutes with the help of the Bible. These were scientists on a mission. All they were looking for is anything astronomical. The next book after Joshua is Judges. Robert G. Boling wrote that Joshua and Judges began at the same time. That Judges would cover about a one hundred year period. Their day was not done till the 40 minutes were found. Once it was found they did not need to record their findings. Their mission was to find problems to the space program. And since this problem had been solved and posed no risk to the space program it did not need to be reported.
A large heavy pendulum when swinging, will move back and forth in a line that rotates 360° in 24 hours. Thus, earth did not stop rotating when God made the sun to stand still for Joshua. A pendulum that day would also rotate 360° actually standing still in the same line, earth moving underneath.
Leon Foucault in 1851 demonstrated this large pendulum at the Pantheon in Paris. The pendulum made lines in the sand 360° in 24 hours.
Research on exo planet solar systems far from ours, show Ch'aoutic behaviour from the gravity tugs of the planets on each other. Our solar system is much more stable and thus is unusual. Nevertheless, God must have moved the sun around the earth many times.
"Astrophysicist Shows How One Small Change to Our Solar System Could Unravel It"
God moved the Sun and planets without a trace. This is the key part because God's power is hidden.
Simply moving the sun around the earth would hardly affect the earth. Earthquakes were recorded and would be expected. The weather may change as well, and this also was recorded. Asteroids would be pulled into earth's path and cause meteor showers, this also was recorded. "Worlds in Collision" is rightly named. Not only moving the planets, out of the way of the sun, but also moving the sun itself around the earth. God moving the sun to the other side of earth, and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun - no problem to earth.
An experiment of a passing star through the solar system thrust Jupiter into a reverse orbit of the sun and disrupted the orbits of the other planets. God moving the sun meant that God controlled the planets as well.
Buzz Aldrin "We went all the way from Earth to the Moon and back to Earth within a half a second of the time allotted by our flight plan."
Movements in space can be precisely calculated. Taiwan can track and move their satellites to a pin point of a dime. For God to hide these movements from science, God must keep earth in the reverse orbit exactly as in earth's normal orbit. The movents of the sun and planets also must have been very precise.
The other part to consider is the tens of millions of tons of energy to instantly move the sun upwards of 40 million miles per hour. Even God must have moved the sun at or very near the speed of light for the "sun to go down at noon". Time stops at the speed of light. Time stops = no sun light. Only God has that power and skill.
Nevertheless, astronauts at the International Space Station have said moving tons of equipment in space is like swinging a suitcase. God moving the sun through space not only is the only solution, it is a very practical solution.
On Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision: "More recently, the absence of supporting material in ice core studies (such as the Greenland Dye-3 and Vostok cores), bristlecone pine tree ring data, Swedish clay varves, and many hundreds of cores taken from ocean and lake sediments from all over the world has ruled out any basis for the proposition of a global catastrophe of the proposed dimension within the Late Holocene age."
Wikipedia
Bristlecone trees live at high altitudes with little signs of life.
"Thus, the whole number of years [of early Egyptian history] is 341 Pharaohs, in which entire space, they said, no god had ever appeared in a human form; nothing of this kind had happened either under the former or under the later Egyptian kings. The sun, however, had within this period of time, on four several occasions, moved from his wonted course, twice rising where he now sets, and twice setting where he now rises. Egypt was in no degree affected by these changes; the productions of the land, and of the river, remained the same; nor was there anything unusual in the diseases or the deaths."
The History of Herodotus, chapter 2
The model presented here leaves no evidence, not even any net missing time. The fact no evidence has been found just means God is that smart and that powerful. This should give us full faith in God.
Habakkuk 3:4 "And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power."
Genesis 1:14 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"
"And he wrote down in a book the signs of the sky, according to the order of their months, so that the sons of men would know the cycles of the years, according to the orders of all their months. He was the first to write a testimony, and he testified to the sons of men in the generations of the earth. The weeks of the jubiles."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 11QJub.
Joshua 24:17 "For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:"
"did those great signs in our sight" "and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still". The signs: Joshua's long day and also other sun miracles.
"The apparent motion of the sun is frequently referred to in terms that would imply its reality (Joshua 10:13, 2 Kings 20:11, Psalm 19, Ecclessiastes 1:5, Habakkuk 3:11)
The New Ungers Bible Dictionary, Sun, p.1225.
The writers of the Bible probably knew the sun normally did not move. When they wrote of "the apparent motion of the sun", they probably were writing about a sun miracle. Most of these sun miracles occurred on dates that pointed to Jesus.
2 Corinthians 13:8 "For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth."
In consideration of all these things, it reminds us of the spiritual truth that God will move heaven and earth to save one soul. How about you?

Most of these estimations of sun miracles in the New Testament are simply guesses. In two or three years of a reverse orbit there must be multiplles of sun miracles at the half orbit and whole year point when the sun may move back, and forth.
You can see in this zodiac from the Beth Alpha Synagogue below, 600 AD. There are many zodiacs in ancient Israel synagogues, that the fish of Pisces face both directions perhaps from Old Testament tradition. This may indicate the Israelites were familiar with earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun. Thus, for half a year or a year they would experience the zodiac progressing in reverse. This may have happened as often as every seven years. They would be very conscious this was connected to the sun miracles God performed for their benefit. You can see the chariot of the sun in the middle. The sun and chariot were not to be depicted in the synagogues of Israel.

Just before Augustus Caesar's death in August 19, 14 AD, also about when the High Priest Annas was replaced:
"Thus, the sun suffered a total eclipse and most of the sky seemed to be on fire; glowing embers appeared to be falling from it and blood-red comets were seen."
Dio Cassius, Book LVI p.67
There was a total solar eclipse near Rome on February 15, 17 AD:
There was a solar eclipse at the very eastern edge of the Roman empire, August 21, 16 AD:
The High Priest Annas was deposed in 15 AD.
Nevertheless, August 19, 14 AD although a new moon was not a solar eclipse. "blood-red comets" describe the sky as when God moved the sun, the sun moved so fast it appeared red = the planets and comets reflecting the red sun.
Likewise, Julius Caesar being assassinated on the ides of March = the Passover, March 15, 45 BC; may have been killed at the omen of a similar darkened sun and not at a naturally occuring eclipse.
The sun travelling near the speed of light because of time slowed by relativity the sun would appear red and dark = light shifted to the red end of the light spectrum, and the planets and comets would reflect this red light.
Julius Caesar died on the Ides of March, the full moon when also was the Passover in Israel in 45 BC. 45 BC was 38 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
From the Passover March 15, 45 BC to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC is 38.5 years.
From Jesus' birth the 17th day of the 7th month in September 12, 7 BC to Jesus' sacrifice the 14th day of the first month, April 3, 33 AD, is 38.5 years.
Thus, there may have been a sun miracle at that Passover in 45 BC to point to Jesus' life of 38 years and his sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD. Thus, Jesus' birth 38 years later in 7 BC. Julius Caesar's wife Cornelia died in 68 BC.
There could have been a sun miracle in 68 BC = 100 years before Jesus' sacrifice that was an omen preceding her death.
67 BC was 49 years to 18 BC when Herod began to enlarge the temple, 49 more years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
October 16, 68 BC, Lucius Lucullus defeats Tigranes II of Armenia in the Battle of Artaxata.
Wikipedia
Tigranes' army panicked and fled. Perhaps there was an omen of a sun miracle for their panic. Similarly, the Spartans let the Persians of Xerxes escape because of the omen of a partial solar eclipse in Greece.
There were no solar eclipses visible from Greece. The eclipse of Xerxes in the spring and in the fall of the battle of Salamis, September 27, 472 BC must be sun miracles marking the Passover, March 26, 472 BC, and half an orbit later, the last great day of the feast of Tabernacles, September 27, 472 BC.
However, the battle of Salamis should be September 27, 472 BC on the 21 day moon = a sun miracle, not a solar eclipse.
The solar eclipse recorded by Herodotus for about 480 BC may have been a sun miracle as well:
"The August 1, 477 BC does not match exactly the conventional dates for the invasion accepted by historians."
An eclipse recorded by Herodotus before Xerxes departed for his expedition against Greece,[57] which is traditionally dated to 480 BC, was matched by John Russell Hind to an annular eclipse of the Sun at Sardis on February 17, 478 BC.[58] Alternatively, a partial eclipse was visible from Persia on October 2, 480 BC.[59] Herodotus also reports a solar eclipse at Sparta during the Second Persian invasion of Greece.[60] The date of the eclipse (August 1, 477 BC) does not match exactly the conventional dates for the invasion accepted by historians"
Wikipedia - solar eclipseThe August 1, 477 BC solar eclipse:
"does not match exactly the conventional dates" for 480 BC; or for 472 BC.
"The sun fell from the sky at mid day." This eclipse record is more likely a sun miracle, God darkening the sun by moving the sun around the earth at the speed of light.
The battle of Salamis was an Olympiad year, 472 BC, not 480 BC, on September 27, 472 BC. There cannot be an eclipse, solar or lunar, on a 21 day moon.
The solar eclipse prediction of Thales of Miletus should be September 7, 591 BC, not May 28, 585 BC. September was the fifth month in 591 BC, not May.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire."
An eclipse recorded by Herodotus before Xerxes departed on this expedition that ended at the battle of Salamis cannot be October 2, 480 BC nor February 17, 478 BC.
Darkness at noon on the Passover, March 27, 472 BC, and darkness at noon on the last day of the feast of tabernacles, March 27, 472 BC.
The Persians counted the first month from April, the fifth month, seventh day, September 7, 591 BC.
Then also the Chinese counted their months from spring as well.
The solar eclipse of May 28, 585 was said to have lead to the war between the Greeks and the Persians. More likely, the darkness for one hour at noon, September 7, 591 BC was the omen that lead to the war, not just a few minutes of darkness in the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC.
Jeremiah 1:3 "It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month."
The fifth month was the captivity, September 7, 591 BC.
The book of Esther may include a sun miracle 8 years more recent about the spring of 472 BC.
There was a solar eclipse of March 20, 470 BC that covered a small part of the sun visible from Persia and a partial solar eclipse visible south of Greece September 12, 470 BC.
But neither of these eclipses work, and like eclipses, sun miracles must be six months apart.
There was no eclipse when Xerxes set out to Greece in spring, and no eclipse when Xerxes fought the battle of Salamis in fall.
There may have been a sun miracle on the Passover, darkness because the sun fell from the sky, March 27, 472 BC, and a sun miracle on the last day of the feast of Tabernacles, again darkness because the sun fell from the sky, September 27, 472 BC half an orbit later.
"October 16, 68 BC, (the day before the nones of October = the seventh day of the lunar month) Lucius Lucullus defeats Tigranes II of Armenia in the Battle of Artaxata."
Wikipedia
The same date as the Roman disaster at Arausio 36 years earlier. Dates match every 19 years. 2 X 18 = 38 years not 36 years.
October 16, 106 BC (the day before the nones of October = the seventh day of the lunar month) = October 16, 68 BC. The worst defeat of ancient Rome was at Arausio. We do not know the reason for the unilateral attack, October 16, 106 BC.
Back one half orbit, 186 days, from this October 16, 68 BC is April 14, 68 BC, the new moon, possibly the first day of the Passover month. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle 100 years before Jesus' crucifixion on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
Coins from this time depict a star by Julius Caesar. Later the star was replaced by a comet. If the sun moved to the other side of earth at the Passover in spring, then the bright star of Vega would appear overhead at midnight.
The magnitude level of the sun and stars is supposed to start with Vega at zero magnitude. Thus, anything brighter is - negative magnitude and anything dimmer is + positive magnitude. The sun would normally be in Vega at spring. Thus, this star by Julius Caesar may be Vega.
Annas became High Priest, in 6 AD, when Jesus was 12 years old: Born in September 12, 7 BC, Jesus would be 12 in 6 AD:
Luke 2:42 "And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
2:48 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?"
There was no solar eclipse visible then. If the sun was red, comets would appear red too. Or perhaps these blood red comets were phoenixes. The morning star may be the phoenix pulling the sun.
The sudden and perhaps bright sunrise of Gideon may have been a type of the resurrection morning. Pilate is said to have wrote Caesar Tiberius. This letter was actually written according to Bible prophesy, that is, was made up. Neither did Pilate write it.
Nevertheless, the pattern of sun miracles in the Bible most probably occurred in Jesus' lifetime:
This could begin a second half reverse orbit at Jesus' resurrection in the same way as for Gideon.
There may have been a sun miracle to begin Jesus' ministry in Luke 4, August 28, 29 AD or September 9, 29 AD or more likely, October 7, 29 AD. In this 29 AD: "Emperor Guangwu of Han, 5th year of the Jianwu reign period. A guest star trespassed against YUZUO extremely closely."
East Asian Archaeology, p.130.
YUZUO is the imperial throne near the Big Dipper, near Arcturus and Virgo. A sun miracle at the start of the jubile, either August 28, 29 AD or on the jubile on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD, or on the jubile, Yom Kippur October 7, 29 AD, would mean the Big Dipper when normally pointing down at midnight in summer would point up at midnight the following summer night.
The handle of the Big Dipper points to Arcturus. Then Arcturus would pass over head at midnight in August/September. A sun miracle then would be seen as a threat to the imperial throne, an occasion for a revolution. Guangwu became emperor in 25 AD and from 27 AD to 36 AD - the period looked at here - he waged war with various warlords. Sun miracles often triggered revolution in China. So he would be sensitive to a sign from heaven that could cause rebellion against him that could overthrow his kingdom. Such as this one very nearly did.
John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe."
John 1:26 "John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
This would be at the time of the Passover in spring of 29 AD.
The Passover was Friday, March 18, 29 AD. Then 187 days from the Hebrew new moon March 7, 29 AD is half an orbit and is Yom Kippur, the jubile, September 9, 29 AD.
The captivity was September 7, 591 BC the seventh day of the fifth month.
Then there may have been a sun miracle a year before September 9, 29 AD, a full 365 day orbit before, perhaps September 7, 28 AD on the first day of the seventh month.
Or, the Passover was Sunday, April 17, 29 AD. Then 187 days from the Hebrew new moon April 5, 29 AD is half an orbit and is Yom Kippur, the jubile, the 10th day of the seventh month, October 7, 29 AD.
Jesus began to be about 30 or rather 35 years of age in Luke.
Luke 3:23 "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,"
Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD when he began to be 35 years old.
Jesus may have been born on the 17th day of the 7th month = September 13, 7 BC. Then his birthday would be September 15, 29 AD the 17th day of the 7th month; when he began to be 35 years of age.
Perhaps on Yom Kippur October 7, 29 AD be the day Jesus read from Isaiah 61 to fulfill the beginning of the 50 year jubile.
Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, most likely was when Jesus read from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. On a jubile year, the year began not on Rosh Hashana, the first day of the seventh month, but on Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month.
Then the Gospels start with Jesus when he began to be about 30, perhaps he began to be 35, when he returned from being tempted 40 days in the wilderness after Jesus was baptized of John the Baptist. Then Jesus began to be 35 on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 15, 29 AD = the date of Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC. Jesus may have been born on the 17th day of the seventh month is seven days after Yom Kippur.
Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur when he spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, either on September 9, 29 AD or Jesus began his ministry one month later on Yom Kippur October 7, 29 AD.
This would mean Jesus' ministry was three and a half years from the 10th day of the seventh month, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, as it is by tradition.
Jesus real name was Joshua. Thus, a connection with Salvation and Conquest at this very same time of the year, this very same seventh month.
Luke 4:17 "And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
From the same time Jesus counted three and a half years to his crucifixion, April 3, 33 AD.
There may be a sun miracle three and a half years before Jesus' sacrifice. Either this Yom Kippur or perhaps this setting sun soon after:
Luke 4:40 "Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them."
This Sabbath sunset could be October 8, 29 AD = 3 X 365 + 178 days = 3 1/2 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Luke 4:25 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;"
John 5:1 "After this there was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
John 6:4 "And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh."
A whole year may have passed between John 5 and John 6, thus making Jesus' ministry three and a half years long.
Jesus' birth must have been the 17th of Tishri, the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."
Saturday, September 14, 3307 BC. This must have foretold the birth of Christ on September 12, 7 BC.
If there was a sun miracle September 9, 29 AD, then there may have been a sun miracle perhaps when John baptized Jesus near to the time of the Passover, perhaps the Saturday on the first of Nissan, March 5, 29 AD. Then the Passover March 19, 29 AD. Probably there was a sun miracle Friday September 9, 29 AD to mark the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
This may be in a series of sun miracles over three years with sun miracles on the half orbit dates February/March as well August/September. Rosh Hashanah, the blowing of trumpets, August 28, 29 AD or the jubile Yom Kippur October 7, 29 AD may be when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Thus, the Gospel of John probably begins in the spring of 29 AD with Jesus when he began to be 35 years old in autumn = September 15, 29 AD "about 30 years old." = the 30th decade.
Then John 2 and the Passover, then chapter 4 when Jesus stood up to speak from Isaiah 61, Rosh Hashanah, August 28, 29 AD or Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD.
Jesus spoke on the Sabbath. Thus, Friday evening October 7, 29 AD is more probable. This Chinese record from Emperor Guang of Han may be the sun miracle in China in 29 AD. This would give three and a half years to Jesus' crucifixion. Then this sun miracle in August/September would make the Big Dipper and Arcturus point straight up at midnight. There were four Passovers in the Gospels if the feast in John 5 is counted. "the feast" in John 5 can only mean "the Passover".
Then the first Passover of Jesus' ministry may have been Friday, March 18, 29 AD:
The Passover at the lunar eclipse the night Jesus was crucified, Friday, April 3, 33 AD, may have been +84 more hours long, a seven night, the sabbaton, 7 X 12 hours longer, April 3, 33 AD.
Perhaps +36 more hours = 3 X 180° = 72 hours, from the 36 hours of 6 PM Friday April 3, 33 AD, to 6 AM Sunday April 5, 33 AD. And thus Jesus would be in the heart of the earth three days of 24 hours = 72 hours.
China recorded the sun stood still for 9 days when Yao became emperor, April 1, 2315 BC = the full moon April 2, 2315 BC, and that the sun stood still for 10 days in King Kin's 8th year = 1732 BC; 490 more years to Joshua's long day and conquest August 10, 1241 BC, 490 more year to 552 BC and the foundation of Rome, 49 year cycles to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
Perhaps the sun would move back and earth flow out of the half reverse orbit on March 5, 29 AD. We need two stand alone winter half reverse orbits, without summer half reverse orbits, giving 30 minutes missing time each to account for the one hour of darkness when Jesus was on the cross. Thus, if we start with a sun miracle August 28, 29 AD, by the time of Jesus' crucifixion and hour of darkness we may have the two fall/winter half orbits of 30 minutes missing time each.
Thus, this would cancel out the hour of elapsed time the sun was darkened, or rather revolved around the earth at or very near the speed of light. Thus, time would stop on the sun for one hour and time continue on earth for one hour leaving no net missing time. The years of Jesus' ministry appear to be full of sun miracles in summer and winter. Then the result would be no net missing time at all.
Then from August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, are 50 year jubiles to August 28, 29 AD or Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD, less the 70 years captivity. Actually, the first jublile was August/September 1192 BC at the end of the 49th year from 1242 BC.
There were 49 year jubile cycles and 50 year jubile cycles. There was a 50th jubile 100 years after Moses destroyed Heshbon, not 300 years in 1141 BC in Jephthah's day:
Judges 11:26 "While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?"
The seventh year was the year of release:
Deuteronomy 15:1 "At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release."
From the 49 year jubile in this 1242 BC when Moses took Heshbon are 13 X 7 years = 91 years to 1151 BC = the sun miracle in King Ching's 18th year from 1168 BC. Written three and ten sevens, may have been mistaken for 3 X 100 instead of 91 years.
40 year periods are stated in Judges. They may be one 40 year period from 1241 BC to 1201 BC, or they may be two, from 1241 BC to 1240 BC, 10 years famine. Then 40 years from 1191 BC to 1151 BC. Saul would become King of Israel in 1124 BC.
Most likely the 40 years of rest was one forty year period from 1241 BC to 1201 BC. Then Joshua's lond day, Gideon's battle, and Debra and Barak's battle were all in the same 1241 BC year.
In 1201 BC the oldest people in Israel would be 100 years old. 20 at the Exodus in 1281 BC, 40 years in the wilderness = everyone older than 20 died, 40 more years to 1201 BC.
The point is this cannot be 300 years because Joshua's conquest was in 1241 BC and Saul became King of Israel in 1124 BC, 117 years later.
There was a 49th year in 1095 BC when David was 17, perhaps when he faced Goliath. (Then there was 17 more years to when David became king of Israel) Because David lived to 1043 BC to be 70 years old, thus was 17 in 1095 BC. However, David may have been about 20.
1 Samuel 17:1 "Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in EphesdammimH658."
The place of battle was "zero blood", a dangerous place to be.
H658 אֶפֶס דַּמִּים 'ephes dammı̂ym eh'-fes dam-meem' From H657 and the plural of H1818; boundary of blood drops; Ephes-Dammim, a place in Palestine: - Ephes-dammim. Total KJV occurrences: 1
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
There may have been a sun miracle the day David slew Goliath, and thus was stated the city of Azekah just as it was in Joshua's long day. In China in the 14th year of Ch'aou "the regualr stars did not appear" about the same time, about 1091 BC when David was 23 years old, and the 50 year jubile from the conquest of Joshua in 1241 BC.
The battle may have been on Yom Kippur, a 24 hour fast, when Israel was at its weakest and in a 50 year jubile when Israel may have let the land be fallow land = a second year of fallow land the 49th year and the 50th year, and thus had not gathered food but what grew of itself.
"the regular stars did not appear" may refer to God moving the sun to the other side of the earth, the day David slew Goliath, perhaps a long day that was 12 hours longer to complete the battle, the sun 180° away = the regular stars not appear that night.
Then David may have died in 1045 BC = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. Then this Psalm 22 of David matches Jesus' sacrifice:
Psalm 22:1 "To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?"
Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Samuel 17:4 "Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was four cubits and a span."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible, p.229
The Septuagint states his height was five cubits and a span, the Masoretic text 1000 AD from Babylon (King James) states his height was six cubits and a span. The average Israelite was five feet tall, to be exact five foot one inch. Thus, even Goliath at four cubits and a span = six foot six, was one and a half feet taller. Thus, you can see how the text was changed to become a tall story.
1 Samuel 9:2 "And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people."
Saul would be about the height of Goliath.
The period of the Judges were changed to 450 years, 480 years and 300 years, when they should be 117 years from 1241 BC to Saul in 1124 BC. This accommodated the series of Judges one after another. Whereas, most of the Judges reigned at the same time. Thus, the period of Judges was 117 years from 1241 BC to 1124 BC.
1 Kings 6:1 "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
This should be 240 years not 480 years.
Here you see the Paleo Hebrew in comparison to the Masoretic Hebrew. The dates probably were deliberately altered. Nevertheless, there may be copy errors.
You can see the word for 400 is like the word for 40. 240 years became 440 years became 480 years.
Here you can read the Greek Septuagint four hundred and forty years = closer to the truth two hundred and forty years.
1 Kings 6:1 "And it came to pass in the four hundred and fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
The modern Greek for four hundred is the same in the Septuagint. The next word for forty is different than the modern Greek but almost the same as the Septuagint word for four hundred.
G5062 τεσσαράκοντα tessarakonta tes-sar-ak'-on-tah The decade of G5064; forty: - forty. Total KJV occurrences: 22
Judges 11:26 "While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?"
This should be 90 or 100 years not 300 years.
Or this 300 years refers to the period of Kings about 930 BC = 300 years from 1241 BC:
2 Kings 3:5 "But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel."
However, Jephthah appears in the period of the Judges from 1241 BC to Saul in 1124 BC.
Simularly, the 430th year of the Exodus was used to give just four generations from Jacob. When Jacob actually entered Egypt in the 430th sothis year = 2307 BC. And there were 40 generations, not four, in the 1026 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC at the end of the 1460 sothis calendar. So rather than write genealogies 40 generations long, the scribes redid the scriptures.
Perhaps in the time of the kingdom of David:
"In his, Ch'aou's, sixth year, he gave a Charge to the baron of Seun. In the winter, in the 12th month, peach trees and plum trees were in flower"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.149
"In the 6th year, (emperor Muh), Tan, the viscount of Seu, came to do homage, when the title of baron was confered on him."
The Chinese Classics. p.150.
1 Kings 15:33 "In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years."
From King Asa the third year and twenty four years = 985 BC - 3 - 24 = 958 BC = the sixth and seventh year of emperor Muh when Tan became a baron, perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle.
1 Kings 16:23 "In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah."
Asa from 985 BC - 31 - 12 = 942 BC = 300 years from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC. Asa from 985 BC - 41 years = 944 BC.
Ahab from 948 BC or from 944 BC.
King K'ang's last year was 1107 BC so Ch'aou's sixth year should be 1102 BC when David was 12 years old. Jesus was 12 years old when he stayed behind in Jerusalem to ask the doctors of the law questions.
King K'ang died in his 26th year = 1107 BC; 1100 years to Jesus' birth, his 12th year was September 4, 1122 BC.
October 2, 1107 BC was day 56 of cycle 60, Day 56 of cycle 60, the new moon, was Tuesday, October 2, 1107 BC. Saturday, December 1, 1107 BC was day 56 of cycle 60 = the new moon.
Jesus born September 12, 7 BC means Jesus was presented to the Temple 8 days + 33 days later = 41 days later = the last day of the eighth month, October 23, 7 BC = this day 56 of cycle 60 = this ninth lunar month = the day Simeon and Anna greeted Jesus and his parents in the temple.
Leviticus 12:3 "And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled."
Day 56 of cycle 60 counted from lunar day 3 to lunar day 59 = 2 X 29.5 days lunar = 59 days = this day 56 and the end of the eighth month.
Jeremiah 36:9 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 36:22 "Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him."
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
1 Samuel 14:24 "And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food."
This day of fasting must be Yom Kippur = the same 12th year of King K'ang = the 10th day of the Hebrew seventh month, both 9th of cycle 60 and 9th lunar day of the Chinese sixth moon, September 4, 1122 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' fulfillment when he spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, September 9, 29 AD, to begin his three and a half year ministry.
1 Samuel 14:36 "And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God."
There may have been a sun miracle that day because Saul sought to continue the battle into the night to get victory.
1 Samuel 13:1 "Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,"
Thus, Saul began to reign from 1124 BC, and two years later was this 1122 BC, Yom Kippur, day 9 of cycle 60, September 4, 1122 BC = 1150 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Acts 13:21 "And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years."
Thus, Saul reigned 40 years from 1124 BC to 1084 BC; David 40 years from 1084 BC to Solomon in 1044 BC.
The second temple was complete on the third of Adar in the sixth year of Darius I from 509 BC, the solar eclipse that was rather a sun miracle, day 48 of cycle 60, February 9, 504 BC, 500 years later. The temple began to be built in Solomon's fourth year - 1041 BC = 240 years from the Exodus in 1281 BC.
"In his 12th year, in the sixth month, on the jin-shin day, (9th of cycle), the King went to Fung and gave his Charge to the duke of Peih. In the autumn, Duke E of Maou died."
The Chinese Classics, p.148
Ch'aou reigned from 1107 BC, (1100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC) his sixth year would be 1102 BC.
King K'ang's first year should be 1131 BC, King Ching from 1168 BC 37 years to 1131 BC = the year the city of Azekah in Gaza was destroyed. There may be a parallel to Samson, and there may have been a sun miracle that year that was an Omen for the Chinese to choose a new emperor.
"In the sixteenth year, 369 BC, peach trees blossomed in winter."
"In the eighteenth year, 367 BC, it rained metal pellets in Yueh-yang."
The Grand Scribe's Records. Volume I, p.107
The peach trees were again in blossom in Ch'aou's time, in his 6th year and 12th month in winter of 1100 BC when David would be 15 years old.
Both "peach trees blossomed in winter" in 369 BC and "it rained metal pellets" - are signs of a sun miracle that year. The reverse orbit may cause a warm winter. The earth orbiting in reverse against the asteriods that normally follow the earth should cause a meteor shower.
"In his (King Leeh) sixth year, - sin hae, the first year of king Hwuy-ching of Leang, - the princes Kung of Han and Ching of Chaou removed the duke Hwan of Tsin to T'wan-lew"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.170.
sin hae = year 48 of cycle 60, 368 BC, sin hae = day 48 April 17, 368 BC = the full moon the Passover = 400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, sudden darkness at noon in Israel = sudden darkness at sunset in China. Thus, the year sin hae may be a double the day sin hae as well. Thus, the total solar eclipse one year before, April 11, 369 BC, may be followed by an hour of darkness the next year April 17, 368 BC. So a double eclipse recording.
Both the solar eclipse and the sun miracle on the Passover the next year would be an omen that the Chinese often took to replace the King.
There was a solar eclipse April 11, 369 BC that passed directly through the middle of China.
"Duke Xian of Qin, 16th year. Sun was eclipsed."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Solar Eclipses, p.31.
"In his (King Ngan)16th year, which was yih-wei, the 1st year of Keih.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.170.
"The sky falls down and the earth cracks when the Son of Heaven leaves his mat." - 369 BC
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume VII, p.282
King Ngan from 400 BC, 16th year = 384 BC, 16 more years = 368 BC.
Amos 4:4 "Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:"
Deuteronomy 26:12 "When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;"
Three years may mean three years of days. Three years of days = 3 X 365 = 1095 years. Back from Jesus' birth in 7 BC = 1102 BC; the same year "trees were in flower" in the 12th month of December/January. A similar record was in 369 BC.
Three "years" may be every three days.
70 X 7 years there was no 7th fallow year = 490 years. Back from the fall of Jerusalem, 591 BC - there were 70 years of captivity for those missed 70 fallow years; = 1081 BC, no fallow years from about this 1102 BC.
From the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC to this 1081 BC = 490 years to the captivity in 591 BC is 200 years.
There are 490 years from 1081 BC. David reigned forty years as King. So counting 37 years of David's reign = Jesus lived 38 years, to David's death in 1044 BC; 490 years from 1081 BC to 591 BC - that the sabbath fallow land, every seven years, was not kept.
2 Samuel 5:4 "David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5:5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah."
Then David was 38 years old when he became King over all Israel.
Thus, God may have intended a sun miracle even three years of days to point to the birth of Jesus.
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
The death of Uzziah be in 750 BC two years before the 49 year jubile in 752 BC.
Also,the foundation of Rome was in 752 BC at an eclipse, or sun at a miracle in April = the Passover, of 752 BC.
2 Chronicles 27:1 "Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok."
2 Kings 16:2 "Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father."
From the death of Uzziah in 750 BC - 16 years of Jotham - 16 years of Ahaz = Hezekiah's first year in 718 BC / 717 BC.
Uzziah died in 751 BC - in the days of Amos, Jotham died 16 years later in 735 BC. From this 1102 BC, 365 years later, is 737 BC, 2 X 365 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Genesis 5:23 "And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:"
Enoch's 365 years from 3907 BC, 3900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The Armenian year 3907 BC ended 4 X 365 years = one sothis cycle. The Exodus in 1281 BC ended the Egyptian 1456 years = 4 X 365 years; 2737 BC to 1281 BC.
Methuselah lived to year 969. Back from Noah's flood, 3307 BC 969 years = 4276 BC = 369 years to the Armenian sothis begin year 3907 BC. Just as Enoch at year 365 from 3907 BC, Methuselah counted from about 365 years before 3707 BC. Lamech at 777 years = year 595 from 3907 BC back 182 years from 3912 BC. Methuselah back from 3307 BC 777 years = 4089 BC; Lamech back from year 595 = 3312 BC 777 years = 4089 BC.
Or 777 years + 182 years back from 3312 BC = 4271 BC = 86 X 50 years to Jesus beginning his ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Genesis 9:28 "And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."
These ages of Noah may be compared to both the Armenian sothis calendar and the Egyptian sothis calendar. Thus, year 950 of the Egyptian sothis calendar = 3248 BC = 59 years after Noah's flood. The difference from year 600 in the Armenian sothis calendar = 3307 BC and this year 950 in the Egyptian sothis calendar = 3248 BC. If Noah was born 120 years before the flood, he would be 179 years old in 3248 BC = the age of Isaac, about the 182 of Lamech and about the 187 of Methuselah.
179, 182 and 187 can also be days between sun miracles at earth's half orbit point.
365 years before 7 BC = 372 BC; 374 BC - 2 years = 372 BC:
"In his, King Leeh, second year, Hoo Soo of Ts'in lead a force against Han"
The Chinese Classics, The Bamboo Annals, p.170
"In his, King Leeh, sixth year, from 374 BC = 369 BC, sin-hae, first year of King Hwuy-ching Leang --..the princes removed the duke.."
"In his, Ch'aou's, 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.149
Ch'aou's 14th year should be 1091 BC = a 50 year jubile from the crossing of the Jordan February 4, 1241 BC.
Job 3:9 "Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:"
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
The fourth month from spring should be about June. The fourth month of summer should be about September = about the season of Jesus' birth. If God moved the sun to the other side of earth, the other half of heaven would appear. Thus, the sun would appear 180° away, and those stars behind the sun would be invisible during the day. Also, the stars that regularily appeared in that season would opposite. Not only opposite, but with earth in a reverse orbit of the sun, the stars would advance from the west instead of disappearing in the west.
From Wu, 1174 BC, Ch'ing 1168 BC, Kang 1132 BC - 1107 BC, Ch'aou's 14th year = 1094 BC. The 49 year jubile from Joshua in 1241 BC was 1094 BC when David was 20, about the time David slew Goliath. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle that day, a long day the sun stand still at noon Israel, for Israel to get the victory = the same 14th year of emperor Ch'aou = twilight for 12 hours, or multiples of 12 hours, and the stars not appear in China. David born 1114 BC 70 years to 1044 BC. David would be 7 years old in 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus, 1045 BC was 38 years to 1007 BC, also pointing to Jesus' life. David would be 20 in 1094 BC, a youth.
The regular stars may not appear in China because by night fall on China the sun would be on the other side of the earth, and the stars that would first appear be 180° away from what stars appeared the night before = not the regular stars. Psalm 18 of David describes a sun miracle perhaps the day God delivered him from Saul. There is a gap of 120 years of Chinese history in this time. Nevertheless, Chinese emperors consecutively to Ch'aou's 14th year is 1094 BC. The missing 120 years may be after Ch'aou.
Numbers 1:3 "From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies."
20 years old in the second year of the Exodus in 1280 BC = born in 1300 BC. They would be 10 years old when Pharaoh Ramses II died in 1291 BC.
Those born at the Exodus would be 20 years old in 1261 BC.
"In his, Woo-Yih, 24th year, 1263 BC, the forces of Chow smote Ch'ing. A battle was fought at Peih, which was subdued."
The Chinese Classics
The Peih was a jade disc that was dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle.
From Woo-Yih's first year in 1284 BC, his 24th year would be 1261 BC.
Numbers 14:29 "Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,"
Thus, in this 1261 BC, the 20th year from the Exodua in 1281 BC, those that were under 20 at the Exodus would be 39 years old in 1261 BC. Jesus lived 38 and a half years.
Deuteronomy 2:14 "And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them."
Thus, again the life span of Jesus this same thirty-eight years.
Thus, for David to not yet be numbered to be a soldier he should be about 20 years old when he fought Goliath.
There was a 49th year in 1046 BC about when David passed on the plans for the temple to Solomon. There was a 49th year jubile just before king David's death in 1046 BC. David died in 1044 BC. Jesus was crucified in the 49 year jubile in 33 AD.
Jesus was 38 years old when he was crucified the King of Israel - the sign Pilate wrote above Jesus' cross. David began to reign over all Israel when he was 38 years old. Joseph was 38 years old from 2345 BC to the second year of famine in 2307 BC when Jacob and his children came into Egypt.
There was a 50th jubile in 1041 BC, the 240th year since the Exodus, when Solomon began to build the temple. There was a 49 year jubile in 899 BC about when Joash became King of Judah. Joash was born in 907 BC.
"In his, King Kung, 9th year, in the spring, in the first month, on the day ting-hae (24th of cycle), the king made Leang, the recorder of the Interior, convey a Charge to Ts'een, baron of Maou."
Maou = the constellation Taurus.
From 907 BC the nineth year is 899 BC.
The new moon, the first month, February 20, 899 BC, = day 24 of cycle 60 = the new moon, the 9th year from 907 BC = 900 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC, was the new moon and first month of spring. Spring in China was usually counted from February.
February 20 would either be the 12th month or the 1st month, the Passover month, in Israel.
189 days, half an orbit, from February 20, 899 BC = August 28, 899 BC = Yom Kippur the 10th day of the seventh month = the jubile, a 49 year jubile in 899 BC = when the sun may return.
The 9th year of King Kung could have been February 4, 896 BC, the full moon = 24th of cycle 60. The Passover was on the full moon. Thus there could have been a sun miracle on the Passover in Israel = one hour of darkness at noon.
Then the 12th year = the first year of King E, 894 BC. The Chinese often named a new emperor when there was a sun miracle in the spring.
"The day dawned twice at Zheng" was the first year of King E, 894 BC.
You can see year one at the top, and two sun risings at the bottom. The character for sun above the horizon below is the same:
"In his 1st year, which was ping-yin (3d of cycle, = B.C. 894), when he came to the throne, there were two sun risings in Ch'ing."
Here you can see the character for sun with a line underneath meaning day dawning:
Here you can see the definition of a day dawning.
The Chinese depicted a sun rise as you see above, the sun just above the horizon, the horizontal bar. Then two sunrises cannot be an eclipse.
Here you can see the day dawn:
Often there was a sun miracle in China that they took for an omen for a new emperor. The sun rising in the west would be like "the day dawned twice". Thus, it was stated the person who saw and recorded the event would see a big difference between the day dawning twice and a solar eclipse.
A total eclipse specifically viewed from Zheng may have been described as the day dawned twice. Only, the solar eclipse of August 24, 897 BC was annular, not total.
The year may have been off by three years. However, a solar eclipse was never described as the day dawned twice, and the year of 60 was only out by one year in recording solar eclipses in China.
"Cheng was located in central China, not far from present-day Lo-yang. (The approximate geographical co-ordinates of the site are: latitude 34.50° longitude 109.80°) In principle it would not be unreasonable to attribute the phenomenon to a total solar eclipese occurring at sunrise. Rather similar phenomena were recorded during medievel times in England (AD 1230) and Russia (1476).
However it should be stressed that in the Chou texts there is no direct reference to the cause of the phenomenon. If the sun rose fully obscurred, the closing stages of the event would resemble any other eclipse so that its true nature would be evident. It is clear from the descriptions given by the medieval European observers mentioned above that they were well aware that an eclipse was responsible for the darkness which they experienced. In contrast the absence of the term shih in the Chinese account materially weakens an eclipse interpretation.
Several investigations on the eclipse theme have been published since the pioneering work of Liu Chao-yang (1944), but none can be regarded as successful. The most recent attempt is that of Pang et al. (1988a), From a computer check of all eclipses during the selected interval between 966 to 895 BC, these authors chose the sunrise eclipse of April 21 in 899 BC as the 'only possible match'. However, this eclipse was merely annular and even at those places where the central phase was witnessed fully ten percent (by area) of the solar disk would remain unobscured. Hence the reduction in the level of illumination would be scarcely noticeable - less than on a typical overcast day.
At the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, the sun was 85% covered by the moon in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Yet there was no discernable change in the light from the sun. Only, the temperature dropped a few degrees celsius.
As is apparent from the historical eclipse maps for East Asia produced by Stephenson and Houlden (1986), no eclipse in the perferred date range could possibly be total at Cheng, even if large uncertainties in the value of delta T at this epoch were supposed. It seems doubtful if any alternative natural explanation. (eg. meteorological) can be found."
Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation. East Asian observations of large solar eclipses. p.220.
2 Kings 12:1 "In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba."
Joash reigned 40 years from 907 BC. 894 BC would be his 14th year. The "day dawned twice" may be God moving the sun.
"In his (King E) 7th year (887 BC), the hoards of the west invaded Haou."
The Chinese Classics. p.152.
2 Kings 12:6 "But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house."
The 23d year of Joash from 907 BC = 885 BC.
2 Kings 12:9 "But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD."
Jehoash was about seven years old in 907 BC, then his 23rd year could be about this 885 BC. A sun miracle then may have moved the people to give money to repair the Temple.
2 Kings 13:1 "In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years."
From Jehoash's birth in 914 BC - 23 - 23 = 868 BC when he died = the first year of King Heaou in China. 23 years are commonly recorded in the Bible = nine times.
2 Kings 12:6 "But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house."
2 Kings 12:17 "Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem."
According to Geomagnetic dating Beth-Shean was destroyed 100 years before Gath was destroyed. Pharaoh Shoshenq I attacked Israel in 998 BC, the fifth year of Reoboam. Jehoash reined 40 years from 907 BC. 23 years later is 885 BC. Gath was destroyed about 100 years after Beth-Shean, according to geomagnetic dating, Hazael destroyed Gath, before the death of Jehoash in 868 BC, about King Jehoash' 23rd year in this 885 BC = about 100 years after 998 BC.
From Jesus at age 12, are 23 years to Jesus beginning his ministry at the age of 35.
1 Kings 22:19 "And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
22:20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner."
Ahab died in 924 BC after a reign of 22 years from 946 BC at Asa's 38th year.
Or Ahab died in 926 BC after a reign of 22 years from 948 BC.
38 years from 945 BC is 907 BC = the first year of Jehoash who reigned for 39 years to 868 BC. 907 BC = 900 years to Jesus' birth. 868 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
1 Kings 16:29 "And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years."
Thus, at Asa's 38th year = the 38 and a half years of Jesus' perfect life.
Asa reigned to his 41st year, from 985 BC to 945 BC. 38 years from 945 BC to Jehoash in 907 BC.
Solomon died in 1004 BC. Rehoboam died 17 years later in 987 BC. Abijah died 3 years later in 984 BC. Asa died 41 years later in 943 BC.
37 and 38 years appear often in the Bible, the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Jeremiah 52:31 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,"
The solar eclipse of April 21, 899 BC may have been recorded as a Charge from King Kung on day 24 of cycle 60 in his 9th year. Then King Kung's first year in 907 BC would be correct = 900 year to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, his 9th year may be the solar eclipse April 21, 899 BC; his 12th year 895 BC; King E's first year 894 BC.
Kings 8:1 "Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years."
About this 914 BC to 907 BC would be the seven years of famine of Elisha. Sometimes famines were marked by sun miracles, such as the seven years of plenty, and seven years of famine in Egypt = the fulfillment of Joseph's second dream.
"Note: the holder of the time-jar, did not attend to his duty."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.52
The annular eclipse passing through China at noon may be described as "the day dawned twice at Zheng" but this is a strange description of an eclipse - especially because eclipses were never described this way. The date also will not agree as this is the third of cycle of years of 60 from 2636 BC = 894 BC not 897 BC.
The annular solar eclipse August 24, 897 BC, three more years to 894 BC:
But August is not the first month of spring, the solar eclipse was annular not total = the people would not even notice the day become dark.
There is the possibility King E's first year was in 897 BC and the eclipse was specific to Zheng, and his third year be 3 of cycle 60, 894 BC.
Only the solar eclipse was annular, meaning the sky would not grow noticeably dark to say the day dawned twice.
A sun miracle in 868 BC in spring could point to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 868 BC to 33 AD = 900 years. That is, a sun miracle about the time of a solar eclipse to make the record of a sun miracle hidden = 504 BC. Almost every century there was a new emperor in the spring in year X68 BC. The holder of the time-jar, sand clock? would not tell the right time that day by 12 or more hours. Elijah appears about 948 BC at the time of Ahab beoming king.
Jehoash became king of Israel 868 BC and reigned 16 years. Thus, Elisha may be a prophet from about 930 BC to 868 BC and further, but died before Jehoash died in 850 BC.
The Chinese often changed emperors in spring, at the Passover, when there was a sun miracle = an omen. In Spring:
"Spring. 1st month, 27th day. Zhao Ponu made the Marquis of Zhuoye.."
Wars with the Xionqnu, p.211.
2 Kings 7:5 "And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
7:6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7:7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life."
1 Kings 20:22 "And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
20:26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel."
The return of the year is new years in the seventh month in September. There often were sun miracles in the spring, then half an orbit later in the fall.
The sun may move 180° to the other side of the earth, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then half an orbit later, the sun move back in order earth to flow out of the reverse orbit. The next day the sun may move 180° again, and earth flow into the reverse orbit. Then one full year later, such as the return of the year in the seventh month of September, the sun move 180° back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. September was often a time of war. Thus, in September there could be a long day to fight and gain the victory.

"And Chemosh said to me, Go take Nebo against Israel, and I went in the night and I fought against it from the break of day till noon, and I took it:"

2 Kings 3:26 "And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
3:27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land."
The death of Ahab should be 926 BC when his son Joram became king.
God's son Jesus died for all mankind.
Thus, perhaps the sun rose in the west at night to reflect on the water blood red to the Moabites to the east.
Elisha appears to have died about the time of Amaziah's first year. This would be about 868 BC when emperor Heaou began his reign in spring = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
2 Kings 13:20 "And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year."
2 Kings 14:1 "In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah."
There was a 49th year jubile in 752 BC when Rome was founded in spring at the time of a solar eclipse.
2 Chronicles 26:3 "Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem."
This two years before the earthquake, perhaps the earthquake the year Uzziah died. Then Uzziah may have died in 750 BC, two years before be the 49 year jubile in 752 BC, 49 years before be the first year of King Uzziah, perhaps also the year of a sun miracle. Uzziah reigned 52 years.
There was only a tiny partial solar eclipse seen from Rome May 5, 751 BC.
Then it is probable there was a sun miracle at the founding of Rome at the time of the Passover in Israel, April 1, 752 BC. The sun may have been darkened, moved around the earth at or very near the speed of light for one hour, on the Passover as it was for Jesus. And this darkness was taken as a solar eclipse.
2 Chronicles 26:16 "But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense."
Uzziah must have died about 750 BC. Then his sin may have been a few years previous. By tradition there was an earthquake when Uzziah sinned. If an earthquake, God may have moved the sun, and that produced the earthquake.
There was no solar eclipse then. Then the eclipse may be the sun miracle of Amos 8:9. There was a 49th year jubile the year the sun retreated ten steps for Hezekiah in 703 BC. There was a 49th year jubile in 605 BC, when Nebuchadnezzar came to Jerusalem:
However, Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem in 613 BC/612 BC, not 605 BC, and the fall of Jerusalem was in 591 BC not 587 BC.
Nebuchadnezzar was driven from men seven years. This could equal some of the missing years to fill the gap to further back when Nebuchadnezzar began to reign.
Nebuchadnezzar's reign was not from 605 BC to 562 BC, but his reign of more than forty years be from 612 BC/611 BC.
Likewise, Cyrus the Great died in 518 BC not 530 BC = a 13 year difference. 4 years + 13 years = a gap of 17 years.
2 Kings 24:1 "In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him."
591 BC - 11 years for Zedekiah from 602 BC; - 11 years of Jehoiakim from 613 BC. Josiah died in 614 BC. Then 3 years after 613 BC in 610 BC Jehoaikim rebelled and Nebuchadnezzar came and took Jehoiachin prisoner to Babylon in Jehoaikim's fourth year. Therefore Nebuchadnezzar ruled from Jehoiakim's fourth year in 611 BC, 37 years to 574 BC.
Nebuchadnezzar's 8th year be 602 BC
Or, Josiah died in 612 BC = the first year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Jeremiah 52:31 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison."
37 years from 610 BC is 574 BC when Evilmerodach reigned after Nebuchadnezzar.
17 years from 591 BC = 574 BC. 17 years from 568 BC = 552 BC.
Evilmerodach was his successor and may have reigned 23 years to 552 BC when Cyrus began his rule of Persia. However, the dates must be 13 years more recent. Then Cyrus be King of Persia from 545 BC = 38 years to the reconstruction of the temple in King Darius' second year in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth. There was a 50th year jubile with two months to go September 7, 591 BC when Jerusalem was taken and the temple burnt. 70 years later the second temple foundation was laid in 521 BC.
Nebucadnezzar reigned six years further back, from 611 BC not 605 BC; and Cyrus 12 years more recent, Cyrus died in 518 BC not 530 BC = an 18 year gap from Nebuchadnezzar to Cyrus.
Ezra 3:1 "And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
3:2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God."
Because of the opposition around them, the temple construction stopped about 521 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. From 521 BC this 15 years to 507 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC and 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, there was a 49th year jubile in 507 BC when construction of the second temple resumed. 507 BC is 500 years before the birth of Christ, September 12, 7 BC.
Ezra 3:11 "And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid."
Ezra 6:15 "And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
The second temple construction was begun in 507 BC and was three and a half years in making, from 507 BC to 504 BC, like the three and a half years of Jesus' ministry.
Haggai 1:14 "And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king."
The second year, 24th of the sixth month should be August 27, 507 BC.
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
Joshua's long day probably in the seventh month the 21st day of the month = the same date in the year, Tuesday, September 24, 507 BC here in Haggai 2:1.
Both Joshua's long day in 1241 BC and the reconstruction of the temple in 507 BC are in 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The feast of booths ends on the 22nd day of the seventh month. The next day Israel would dwell in their ceiled houses while the temple was in waste.
Nehemiah 8:14 "And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:"
The feast of booths should be 8 days from Saturday, September 16, 458 BC to Sunday September 24, 458 BC.
Haggai 1:4 "Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?"
Haggai 2:3 "Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?"
Haggai 1:15 "In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king."
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
The second year of Darius I would be in 507 BC. This seventh month would be about the September in this 507 BC = 500 years to the birth of Jesus about September 12, 7 BC. The 17th day of the seventh month should be Friday, September 20, 507 BC or Saturday, September 21, 507 BC.
Someone born in 600 BC would be 9 years old in 591 BC when the first temple was destroyed. They would be 93 in 507 BC when the foundation of the temple was laid.
Ezra 3:12 "But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
3:13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off."
September 23, 507 BC = lunar day 21. The Julian calendar loses a day every 128 years. 504 / 128 = 4 days. 4 days back from September 23, 507 BC is September 19, 507 BC. Lunar day 17 of the seventh month = September 19, 507 BC. 4 days back from September 19, 507 BC = September 16, 7 BC. About the time of Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC.
Haggai 2:18 "Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it."
Haggai 2:20 "And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;"
The 24th day of the 9th month in the 70th year from the captivity should be Sunday, October 30, 521 BC or Wednesday November 30, 521 BC.
Kiev 24 = the 24th day of the ninth month, 507 BC is equal to the first Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC. 164 BC was the 49th year jubile from 1241 BC = 18 BC = 33 AD when Jesus was crucified. Likewise 507 BC was the 49th year jubile as well. 507 BC in even hundreds to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. From 507 BC to 164 BC = 343 years = 7 X 49. Or 7 X 7 X 7.
John 10:22 "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
The 25th of Kiev was December 17, 32 AD, and about the winter solstice December 20, 32 AD. Thus, "and it was winter".
490 days back from Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD, was the 24th of the ninth month = November 30, 31 AD. 490 years from the finish of the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC = Xerxes' 20th year, was Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The sun miracle on day 48 of cycle 60 mistaken for a solar eclipse in China is not year 505 BC February 16, but year 504 BC, day 48 of cycle 60 = February 10, 504 BC, is equal to the third day of Adar when the temple was finished in the sixth year of Darius. First year 509 BC, second year 507 BC, sixth year 504 BC. Thus, a sun miracle to symbolise the finish of the temple, when also an earthquake.
Ezra 3:6 "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2:2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?"
From the twenty-first day of the seventh month August 15, 506 BC are 18 months, one and a half orbits, to February 10, 504 BC.
Zechariah 7:1 "And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;"
The fourth year = 507 BC. Jesus born the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
1 Kings 6:37 "In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:"
The temple building in the fourth year of King Solomon and in the fourth year of King Darius. The fourth year of Darius = 507 BC = 11 X 49 years = 10 X 50 years to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC. The year before the first year of King Solomon 1046 BC = 22 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Ezra 5:1 "Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them."
Ezra 5:6 "The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:"
Tattnai was governor over Transeuphrates around 502 BC. A cuniform tablet bearing the name Tattnai has an exact date of June 5, 502 BC. This would be Ezra's twentieth year instead of the early part of the reign of Darius I, that does not make sense. Simply, Darius I did not reign from 522 BC, but from 509 BC = 13 years more recent. Thus, Tattenai was governor from the early part of the reign of Darius I = seven years from 509 BC to this cuniform in 502 BC.
The 22nd lunar day, Wednesday, June 5, 502 BC:
11 years more recent, June 5, 491 BC:
Or the correct date 13 years more recent, the 20th year of Darius from 509 BC, the 22nd lunar day, Wednesday, June 10, 489 BC:
Then Tattenai be governor in this 507 BC in this second year of Darius I.
The destruction of Jerusalem was September 7, 591 BC not in 587 BC = a difference of four years. Then this record of Tattenai in 502 BC may also be four years further back in 506 BC.
Nevertheless, Darius I reigned not from 522 BC, but 13 years more recent, from 509 BC.
There was an Olympic games every four years. So the difference in counting an Olympiad is four years also.
Thus there is a gap of 13 + 4 years = 17 years in this 600 BC to 500 BC.
Ezra 10:9 "Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain."
Two years after the fourth year of king Darius is the sixth year of Darius. A sun miracle on the fourth day of the ninth month two years later the same date, when the sun can move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun the 20th day of the ninth month.
Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."
Luke 19:30 "Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
Luke 19:35 "And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon."
Exodus 12:3 "Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:"
Jesus entered Jerusalem on palm Sunday, the tenth day of the first month, four days before the Friday of his crucifixion.
Exodus 12:6 "And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening."
Should read: "the congregation of Israel shall kill it between the evenings."
Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Mark 15:33 "And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Luke 23:44 "Now it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness fell upon the whole earth and lasted until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was obscured, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."
The third hour from sunrise is 9 AM, the sixth hour is 12 PM, the ninth hour is 3 PM = "between the evenings".
This 507 BC, the second year of Darius, is the 49 year jubile even to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, just a few days after he entered Jerusalem.
February 10, 504 BC = February 15, 1240 BC. This Julian calendar backs up one day every 128 years. Thus in the 1236 years from 1240 BC to 504 BC, the calendar has backed up 5 days.
Even the date in the Chinese Classics is for February 10, 504 BC = the third day of Adar. There can be no solar eclipse on the third day of the lunar month! The 33rd year of 60 is 504 BC in the Chinese classics!
The 21st day of the seventh month should be September 25, 507 BC. Half an orbit earlier, when the sun may have moved to the other side of earth, is the full moon and Passover, March 23, 507 BC. Earth may shake when the sun is moved around the earth. These dates point to Jesus' birth and crucifixion, the Passover lamb.
Ezra 4:24 "Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
Zechariah 1:1 "In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
There is half an orbit of six months between month two and month eight. Thus, there could be sun miracles on both dates.
Zechariah 7:1 "And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;"
This may be the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Perhaps this day would equal Hanukkah hundreds of years before the first Hanukkah day 24 of the 9th month = December 13, 163 BC. However, the day may be the fourth of the ninth month as well. The fourth year of Darius must be from his first year in 509 BC = 4th year 506 BC - 505 BC, when there may be a sun miracle as well as February 10, 504 BC, and not the partial solar eclipse of February 16, 505 BC.
"In his, King King, 13th year (from 543 BC = 530 BC), in the spring, a star issued from the constellation Woo-neu (the widow, four stars about the middle of Capricorn."
The Chinese Classics, p.165
The sun is in the area of Capricorn in Chinese spring. So, the constellation would hardly be visible. The sun may be on the other side of earth, and Capricorn directly above at midnight.
530 BC or 527 BC would be when Cyrus became emperor of Babylon, and perhaps there was a sun miracle that year. The sun must return one year later in 529 BC, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Psalm 126:1 "When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream."
The return must be in 521 BC several years after Cyrus became King and three years before Cyrus died = 70 years of captivity from 591 BC.
Like king Wan's dream when the sun stood at the sunset position for 12 hours, there may also be a sun miracle, a long sunset, this September 7, 529 BC.
From this 529 BC are 71 years to the completion of the wall around Jerusalem in 458 BC.
Nehemiah 8:18 "Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner."
The reading of the Law was to be on the seventh sabbath year, which 529 BC was. Simply, from the 50th year from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC = 591 BC = the destruction of Jerusalem, was the 63rd year 9 X 7 years = 529 BC.
Nehemiah 8:9 "And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law."
Some date Ezra to the reign of Artaxerxes II of 47 years from 395 BC to 349 BC.
This holy day should be Sunday, September 7, 529 BC. Jesus' resurrection was Sunday, April 5, 33 AD = the 49 year jubile.
Sunday should be this first day of the seventh month. The feast of tabernacles on the 15th day to the 22nd day, the 22nd day the eighth day = the eighth day, the day after the seventh day, the sabbath, Sunday.
The solar eclipse record for day 41 of cycle 60 in 534 BC - March 11, 534 BC - may be a sun miracle one year later, also day 41 of cycle 60, March 8, 533 BC. Then, earth may orbit in reverse four years to September 7, 529 BC = and earth flow out of the reverse orbit, exactly four and an half years after March 8, 533 BC.
Ezra 3:6 "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
Sunday, September 7, 529 BC was the first day of the Hebrew seventh lunar month, the new moon one day before - the first visibility of the moon one day later = Sunday. September 7, 591 BC the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed. This September 7, 529 BC, the foundation of the temple was laid, and offerings offered 62 years later to the day.
Daniel 1:21 "And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel 6:28 "So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."
Daniel 10:1 "In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision."
Cyrus the younger reigned not from 408 BC, but 11 years more recent, from 397 BC, his third year be in 395 BC. Thus, Daniel chapter 10 follows Daniel chapter 9.
Or Cyrus the younger reigned not from 408 BC, but 8 years more recent, from 400 BC.
"His, King Ngan, 1st year was kang-shin (17th of cycle 60 = 400 BC)."
The Chinese Classics. p.169
A Sun miracle in 400 BC may have been an omen to kill King Wei-Leeh in his 24th year.
8 X 49 = 392 years; From 400 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC is this 392 or 393 years.
Daniel must be been the age of 16 at the captivity in 612 BC, born about 627 BC and be 230 years old in this 395 BC.
From 395 BC to Jesus' sacrifice are 61 X 7 years, 427 years. From 402 BC to Jesus' sacrifice are 62 X 7 years, 434 years.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
"and in the midst of the week" = the desecration of the temple in 168 BC; 168 BC + 33 AD = 168 + 32 = 200 years. Thus, in the midst of 62 weeks of 402 BC is about 168 BC. The 49 year jubilee to 164 BC. In the midst of that last seven years 171 BC to 164 BC is the desecration of the temple in 168 BC for three and a half years.
"threescore and two weeks:" 62 weeks, for 62 years from the destruction of Jerusalem to the laying of the foundation of the temple - September 7, 591 BC to September 7, 529 BC. 490 years from the completion of the wall of Jerusalem to Jesus' sacrifice - from 458 BC in Xerxes 20th year to Jesus' sacrifice, and resurrection, Friday, April 3, 33 AD and, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD - the last 49 year jubile.
62 X 7 = 432 years; back from Jesus' sacrifice is 402 BC, in the time of Darius II.
March 18, 402 BC is day 48 oif cycle 60 (but the solar eclipse record is from 504 BC in China,) and the new moon. February 10, 504 BC is also day 48 of cycle 60, only is the third of Adar, February 16, 505 BC is the new moon and solar eclipse, day 48 of cycle 60, only the record is from 504 BC.
March 29, 402 BC was the Passover = the full moon = the Passover March 30, 1281 BC at the Exodus out of Egypt.
"His 1st year was kang-shin (17th of cycle 60, = 400 BC)."
The Chinese Classics, the Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.169
A sun miracle 62 weeks of years before Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD, is 402 BC; that may be taken by the Chinese for an omen for a new emperor the next year.
This means both the solar eclipse record on day 48 of cycle 60 in Darius' sixth year 504 BC, and the same new moon on day 48 of cycle 60 in Darius II sixth year (407 BC), March 18, 402 BC could be duplicate records.
Both the age of Darius, 62, and the number of 49 year jubilees to Jesus' sacrifice, 62 weeks, may be from about the same time. Then Daniel may still be alive in 402 BC.
Daniel 12:8 "And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
Daniel was taken into captivity with Jeconiah, in the third year of Jehoaikim, from 613 BC is 611 BC. Then if Daniel was still alive in 402 BC, Daniel would be about 230 years old.
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years (Septuagint 700 years): and he begat sons and daughters:
5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."
Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years."
The Septuagint
Adam born in year 700 lived to year 930 = 230 years. Daniel then may have lived 230 years too. Noah's flood dates from this year 700, 4668 BC from 5368 BC. Thus, 27 X 49 + 5 X 7 + 4 = 1363 years; 4668 BC - 1363 = 3307 BC Noah's flood = 3300 years to Jesus' birth.
"And at the close of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week in the sixth year thereof, Adam died,...And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years, for one thousand yearss are as one day in the testimony of the heavens.."
The Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.26.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Ezra 7:7 "And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
7:8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king."
Esther 2:16 "So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign."
The seventh year of Xerxes, that is Ahausuerus in the Bible, was 472 BC / 471 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' fulfillment speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
The battle of Salamis was in Greece in September 27, 472 BC = the omen the Spartans took to let Xerxes escape.
Zechariah 9 to 14 is suggested a date of 480 BC, the seventh year of Xerxes. If Xerxes reigned from 478 BC, his seventh year was 472 BC.
Zechariah 9:13 "When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man."
"against thy sons, O Greece" may refer to the battle of Salamis that Xerxes fought in September 27, 472 BC.
The seventh year of Artaxerxes the son of Xerxes, from his father's death in 458 BC was 452 BC. There was a solar eclipse recorded for 552 BC, 100 years before 452 BC, when there was no solar eclipse visible from China. From 458 BC are 70 X 7 weeks of years = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice. "seven weeks" may mean seven years after 458 BC and equal this seventh year of Artaxerxes. 69 jubiles from this 452 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Artaxerxes is the son of Ahausuerus - Xerxes, from Xerxes' death in 458 BC, Artaxerxes' seventh year is 452 BC.
62 weeks plus one week is 69 weeks. From 452 BC 69 X 7 to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. One week less 70 weeks is 69 weeks is 69 X 7 = 483 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD; is this 452 BC.
Likewise, 483 years from the captivity Saturday, September 7, 591 BC to the reign of Aristobulus I in 108 BC.
Genesis 5:22 "And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:"
Genesis 9:28 "And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years."
"And in the fourteenth jubilee Methusaleh took unto himself a wife..in the third week..and begat a son Lamech..and in the fifteenth jubilee in the third week Lamech took to himself a wife.and in this week she bare him a son and called his name Noah.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.26.
Noah's flood was in the 27th jubilee - five weeks - fifth year, thus, this fifteenth jubilee must be the 25th jubilee, 10 more jubiles, 4668 BC - 1247 years = 3421 BC; 3421 BC is in even 50's to Jesus' fulfillment of the 50 year jubilee at the beginning of his ministry in September of 29 AD. Then Noah would be 114 years old at Noah's flood in 3307 BC. 350 more years = 464 years old in 2957 BC.
Then Noah dying at year 950 = 350 years after the flood at year 600, in 3307 BC is 2957 BC = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
557 BC was also a 49 year jubile also and the solar eclipse recorded may be a sun miracle and not a solar eclipse.
The China solar eclipse record for 557 BC does not work at all:
The solar eclipse for 557 BC was on day 47 of cycle 60, May 19, 557 BC, and not on day 54 of cycle 60, as recorded, = was barely visible at sunset, and not at sunrise as is recorded in the Chinese Classics.
You can see the solar eclipse was barely visible at sunset on China:
The solar eclipse for August 20, 552 BC was on a day 47. Perhaps the day of cycle 60 for May 19, 557 BC was 47 and not 54.
The eclipse record was for Day 54 of cycle 60 in the 8th month. Then, likely this solar eclipse was a sun miracle. The new moon May 19, 557 BC was day 47, not day 54 and the solar eclipse hardly visible in China. The lunar day 5, March 27, 557 BC to lunar day 8, September 22, 557 BC. Yom Kippur was on lunar day 9.
Day 54 of cycle 60, lunar day 5, March 27, 557 BC, was 9 days before the Passover.
Lunar day 8, day 54 of cycle 60, September 22, 557 BC was just before Yom Kippur. This 8th month in China may be the Hebrew 7th month, this September 22, 557 BC.
The next year, March 21, 556 BC, is lunar day 13, is day 54 of cycle 60. But the year must be 557 BC.
Year 557 BC month 8 and day 54 of cycle 60 = Friday, October 24, 557 BC was Yom Kippur in Israel. 557 BC = 550 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
35 years after the flood in 3306 BC was 3271 BC = 66 X 50 years to Jesus beginning his ministry when Jesus was 35 years old on the 50 year jubile September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. Thus the years 35 instead of 350.
Thus, Noah's flood 3300 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC, and Noah's death in 2957 BC in 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice = Noah's life points to Jesus' birth and sacrifice. Then Noah would be 14 years old when Shem was born. Then Shem would be born in year 500 = 3407 BC from 3907 BC. Then also, 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth from this 2957 BC.
Genesis 5:32 "And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
Noah begat Shem in year 500 Armenian Sothis = 3407 BC. And Shem may have lived 500 more years after the flood in 3397 BC to 2807 BC = 2800 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."
Shem (meaning the sky, like Shemesh for sun, named after sun miracles) may have lived 500 more years after the flood, to 2807 BC, 2800 years to Jesus' birth this 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC.
"And in the twenty-fifth jubilee Noah took to himself a wife, ..in the fifth week and the third year thereof she bare him Shem.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.27.
4668 BC - 1261 years = 3407 BC; 3400 years to Jesus' birth.
Genesis 11:10 "These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:"
Shem born in 3407 BC = 100 years old at Noah's flood in 3307 BC.
It may be possible for Enoch to live 300 more years and Noah to live 350 more years. Noah died in year 950 from the Armenian Sothis 3907 BC= 2957 BC; Noah's flood was in his 600th year 3307 BC. Noah at 950 years was the date not his age. This 2957 BC was in 50 year jubilees; 59 X 50 = 2950 years, to Jesus' birth perhaps September 12, 7 BC. Also, 2957 BC was in 49 year jubilees to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 61 X 49 years from 2957 BC to April 3, 33 AD. Also, 464 years is = to 12 X 38.6 years, Noah may have lived twelve times the life time of Jesus.
"And in the twelfth jubilee, in the seventh week thereof [582 - 588 AM], he took to himself a wife."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.25
This should be 595 - 602 AM. 12 X 49 = 588 + 7; 12 X 50 = 600. From 4668 BC; 600 years is Armenian Sothis year 1300 = 4068 BC = 4100 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the three hundred years of Enoch may be this year one thousand and three hundred years.
300 years later was 2657 BC the first year of emperor Huangdi, and perhaps he became emperor on the omen of a sun miracle, also on a 50 year jubilee to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Genesis 9:28 "And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."
"He set his bow in the cloud for a sign of the eternal covenant that there should not again be a flood on the earth to destroy it all the days of the earth..should celebrate it the feast of weeks in this month once a year..And this whole festival was celebrated in heaven from the day of creation till the days of Noah - 26 jubilees, five weeks of years; and Noah and his sons observed it for seven jubilees and one week of years [1309 - 1659 AM] till the day of Noah's death. And from the day of Noah's death his sons did away with (it) until the days of Abraham, and they ate blood. But Abraham observed it..",
Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.34.
7 X 49 + 7 = 350 years. Noah's flood in 3307 BC - 350 years = 2957 BC. 2957 BC - 350 years = 2607 BC = the birth of Abraham.
Genesis 5:25 "And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
5:26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died."
From year 587 to year 969 = 382 years; 782 years - 400 years = 382 years.
"And in the 12th jubilee, in the seventh week thereof [582 - 588 AM], he took to himself a wife..and in the sixth year, in the sixth week she bare him a son and called his name Methuselah. And he was moreover with the angels of God six jubilees of years.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees. p.25.
4668 BC - 588 years = 4080 BC. 6 year + (6 X 7) = 48 years. 4080 BC - 49 = 4031 BC. Six jubilees = 6 X 49 = 294 years. 4031 BC - 294 years = 3737 BC = 1000 years to the Egyptian Sothis in 2737 BC. From 3737 BC to Noah's flood in 3307 BC = 430 years.
4080 BC = 2800 years = 56 X 50 year jubiles to the Exodus in 1281 BC, 2400 years, 48 X 50 year jubiles to the bondage in Egypt in 1681 BC.
From the bondage Pharaoh Amose I in 1681 BC 400 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC, Then enter the promised land on Joshua's long day in 1241 BC to begin a new 50 year jubile.Then 13 X 50 year jubiles, 650 years, to the Captivity in 591 BC to 521 BC and again a new 50 year jubile, 11 X 50 year jubiles, 550 years, to the beginning of Jesus' ministry October 7, 29 AD.
Genesis 5:28 "And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:"
Methuselah 782 years to Lamech 182 years = 600 years = 12 jubiles + 12 years.
Methuselah born year 588 - 969 = 381 years. 782 year and 182 year and 382 year.
The tradition is Ezra arriving at Jerusalem in 458 BC and Nehemiah at 445 BC.
"we might note that the figure of Meremoth son of Uriah, who appears to be a vigourus wall builder with Nehemiah (Neh. 3:4,21), is a mature priestly leader with Ezra in Ezra 8:33-34, which is strange if Ezra is to be placed before Nehemiah chronologically. Ezra also mentions a wall that is in Jerusalem before the time he arrives (Ezra 9:9), which seems odd if Nehemiah's activity is still in the future."
"Eliashib may be the same person mentioned in an Elephatine papyrus (AramP 30:18). If so, the latter -- lived in 408 BC which would make a meeting with an Ezra dated to an earlier period difficult if not impossible."
A Biblical History of Israel, Exile and After, p.299
The chronology should be seven years more recent. Then this 408 BC should be 402 BC = 62 X 7 years, in Daniel 9:26, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Ezra 10:6 "Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away."
Ezra 2:69 "They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work threescore and one thousand drams of gold"
Likewise, the 61 thousand drams of gold may be like the 61 years from the destruction and captivity of Jerusalem and the return in the first year of Cyrus. The number 61 and 62 used again.
"In his 1st year, which was sin-ch'ow (38th of cycle, = 439 BC), the 12th year of duke King, the prince Wan of Wei came to his inheritance."
"In his (King Ngan from 400 BC) 15th year (386 BC), the prince of Wan of Wei died, having enjoyed his dignity 50 years. There was a great wind, and it was dusk at noon. He, the oldest son of duke Tsin, fled away."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.170.
The 15th year of King Ngan from 400 BC is 386 BC. 50 years from 439 BC is 389 BC. The 60th week to Jesus' sacrifice is 388 BC.
From this 439 BC should be the 20th year of Artaxerxes, the son of Xerxes. Then, this 20th year in Nehemiah 2:1 may count from 439 BC = 20 years from his first year in 458 BC; and the 20th year of Xerxes from his first year 477 BC = 458 BC, his last year, be seventy weeks = 70 X 7 = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Cyrus reigned to 518 BC = King King became emperor of China in 518 BC.
Xerxes became emperor in 477 BC; King Yuen became emperor of China in 474 BC = the third year and feast of Xerxes in Esther 1:3.
Xerxes' 12th year in Esther 3:7 was 466 BC; King Ching-Ting became emperor of China in 467 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Artaxerxes I reigned from 458 BC to 417 BC. King K'aou in 439 BC. King Wei-Leeh in 424 BC.
Xerxes II 417 BC - 45 days, Sogdianus 416 BC - six months. Darius II reigned 19 years perhaps from 416 BC to 397 BC. King Ngan emperor of China from 400 BC to 374 BC.
Artaxerxes II reigned from 397 BC to 352 BC. King Leeh in China from 374 BC to 367 BC; from the spring of 367 BC = 400 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Cyrus died in 517 BC not 530 BC. This is a gap of 13 years! The captivity was in 591 BC not 587 BC. This is a further gap of 4 years!
Artaxerxes III from 350 BC to 329 BC. Arses from 329 BC to 327 BC. Darius III from 327 BC to 321 BC. Alexander the Great from 321 BC to 312 BC. King Shin-Tsing in China from 319 BC. King Yin in China from 313 BC "the tenth month" = half an orbit later = six months later = the fourth month = the death of Alexander the Great in June 312 BC = the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits.
In the year one hundred forty-eight to Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC + 148 years from the death of Alexander the Great in 312 BC. This is a gap of 11 years!
Josephus wrote: "Judah Aristobulus I, was the first Jew "in four hundred and eighty three years and three months" to have established a monarchy since the return from Babylonian captivity.
Back from this 104 BC, 483 years, is 587 BC. But the Captivity was in 591 BC, not 587 BC.
In Daniel there are 69 X 7 = 483 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Forwards from the captivity in 591 BC, 483 years = 108 BC. This is a gap of four years from 108 BC to 104 BC.
Hyranicus died in 481 years after the captivity in 591 BC = 110 BC. This is a gap of six years.
However, there was also a captivity in Nebuchadrezzar's 23rd year, not from 582 BC but like Jerusalem was burned in 591 BC and not 587 BC, this next captivity should be from 586 BC; from 481 years is the same 105 BC.
Jeremiah 52:12 "Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
52:13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire.
52:14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
52:15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude."
The 19th year of Nebuchadrezzar was 591 BC from 611 BC. The 23rd year of Nebuchadrezzar was 587 BC.
Or the 19th year was 594 BC and the 23rd year was 591 BC and the 27th year was 587 BC.
Jeremiah 52:29 "In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
52:30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred."
That means when the chronology was put together this Judah Aristobulus I was given the date 104 BC so that 483 years from the captivity in 587 BC = 104 BC, when the captivity was September 7, 591 BC = four years further back. This means perhaps Aristobulus I reigned four years from 108 BC to 104 BC and not just one year.
"Hycranus dying in 107 BC, Aristobulus I took the the title of King" = 100 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Jonathan Apphus died in 143 BC. However, these dates must be put three years further back. Then, Jonathan Apphus may have died in 145 BC, perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle in X45 BC, 38 years to 107 BC like 38 years of Jesus' perfect life from 45 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Thus, simply Aristobulus I became King in year 483 from the captivity from 591 BC and not 587 BC; in 107 BC, and not in 104 BC.
1. (301) NOW when their father Hyrannus was dead, the eldest son Aristobolus, intending to change the government into a kingdom, for so he resolved to do, first of all put a diadem on his head, four hundred eighty and one years and three months after the people had been delivered from the Babylonian slavery, and were returned to their own country again."
Josephus, Antiquities. 13.301.
Thus, back 481 years from the death of Hyranicus should be 591 BC and thus Hyranicus may have died in 110 BC and Aristobolus I reign from 108 BC to 104 BC.
Back 481 years from the 23rd year of Nebuchadrezzar in 591 BC, is 110 BC.
This was also done with the four years of every Olympiad, counting the captivity again at 587 BC instead of 591 BC. Thus, the captivity was September 7, 591 BC in Nebuchadrezzar's 19th year that was 4 years earlier than the usual date of 487 BC.
However, the next captivity in Nebuchadrezzar's 23rd year, was in 591 BC.
Ezekiel 29:17 "And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army."
The 27th year from the first captivity in 612 BC is 587 BC. The first day of the first month should be Sunday, March 26, 587 BC.
The 27th year from the captivity of the king Jehoiakim in 602 BC = 576 BC.
Ezekiel 1:1 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
1:2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,"
For the 30th year to be the fifth year Jehoichin would have to be carried away in captivity in this 610 BC, and his first year be 614 BC.
31 years of Josiah from 643 BC. There are two years for King Amon after the death of Manasseh in 645 BC.
The last year of King David, the first year of King Solomon, in 1045 BC was 400 years to the last year of Manesseh in 645 BC.
Then 31 years of Josiah from 643 BC = 612 BC.
The 30th year, of the 50 year jubiles, from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, from 641 BC was 611 BC. The 50th year was the destruction of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC.
The captivity may have been in 612 BC = the current year 30 in 50 year jubiles from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, and then the fifth year be in 607 BC.
The fifth year from 612 BC/611 BC = 607 BC = 600 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC. The 49 year jubile was in 605 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
2 Kings 25:27 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;"
The release of Jehoiachin 37 years from 611 BC is 574 BC = about the year of release from 572 BC in 50 year jubiles to when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 in September 9, 29 AD = about the life time of Jesus of 38 years. Then the 25 years and 27 years from the captivity in 611 BC would = 586 BC and 584 BC.
From 613 BC the 37th years is 577 BC.
The "four hundred eighty and one years" should count from 591 BC.
From 104 BC, from the reign of Alexander Jannaeus, the accepted chronology continues.
The missing four years may be for Alexander Jannaeus' brother Judah Aristobolus I, perhaps from 108 BC to 104 BC, instead of one year. From 107 BC are 100 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Judas the Essene correctly foretold where and when Aristobolus I would die. War 1.78-80; Ant.13.311-313.
The death of Julius Caesar March 15, 45 BC at noon on the Passover, perhaps darkness at 11 AM in Rome preceeded Julius' death.
From this 104 BC it was noted in China that Jupiter's orbit fell back one month each year to 101 BC that can only be explained by the sun moving to the other side of the earth, and earth in a reverse orbit of the sun = the opposite orbit direction as Jupiter.
Nehemiah 2:1 "And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence."
Xerxes died in his 20th year. That year, 458 BC, would be the first year of his son, Artaxerxes I. The twentieth year may be 458 BC.
There is recorded a lunar eclipse for August 6, 468 BC, but not on 465 BC - the mistaken date of the death of Xerxes:
The lunar eclipse in the year of Xerxes' death, July18, 458 BC = three dates in the tablet BM 32234: the first date: 14/III/21:
The death of Xerxes the second date: 14/V/21: September 14, 458 BC:
The second lunar eclipse after the death of Xerxes the third date: January 12, 457 BC = 14/VIII/21:
Xerxes died in 458 BC, just before the lunar eclipse of January 12, 457 BC.
There is the lunar eclipse August 6, 468 BC but Xerxes died in 458 BC. There are other lunar eclipses in June and July in the next years from 465 BC but the year of Xerxes death is in 458 BC.
The lunar eclipse on July 18, 458 BC is the most likely = seven years more recent than 465 BC. Tuesday, July 18, 458 BC and not Tuesday, August 3, 465 BC. This third month, from the first month in Spring in March / April: May, June, July = the third month in July = July 18, 458 BC.
Hebrews 12:26 "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
12:29 For our God is a consuming fire."
Ezra 3:8 "Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD."
Ezra 3:10 "And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. "
This second year of Darius from 509 BC is 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
1 Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Leviticus 12:2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
12:5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days."
Jesus born on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC. 42 days later is the new moon to begin the ninth month. 24 more days later, the 24th of Chislev, the 24th day of the ninth month, is the threescore and six days = 66th day. Thus, Hanukkah would mark from the birth of a woman born the day Jesus was.
Thus, there may be a connection with the temple construction and the birth of Christ. - On the 49 year jubile, Sunday, April 5, 33 Jesus raised the temple of God on the third day from Friday, April 3, 33 AD. There was a 49th year jubile in 458 BC when the wall of Jerusalem was completed.
Matthew 18:21 "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?"
18:22 "Jesus said unto him, I say not unto seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. "
From 458 BC are 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Seventy weeks. Notice the pronounciation marks in dots and dashes below "Seventy'" "weeks" are different even though the spelling is identical.
Matthew 18:21, seventy times seven, in Hebrew:
In 164 BC when the temple oil burned for eight days December 13, when the sun returned to the meridian in China, was the 49th year of cycle 49. Then the next several seven year periods matched the seven year periods from the 50th year jubile in 171 BC, from the return in 521 BC to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, fulfilling Yom Kippur.
Then this 164 BC was a seven year sabbath both from the 50 year jubile counting from the return after 70 years in 521 BC, and also a 49 year jubile as well from the year of entry across the Jordan river and Joshua's long day in 1241 BC and from Adam in 4672 BC.
Then sun miracles in 155 BC, 148 BC, 141 BC, in China, were all in the second year of sowing in Israel by both 49 year jubile and 50 year jubile cycles.
490 days, 7 X 70, before December 13, 164 BC = August 11, 165 BC, 10th day of the lunar month is Yom Kippur. 490 days after December 13, 164 BC is April 17, 162 BC the full moon and the Passover.
One year before the 25th of the ninth month, December 13, 164 BC, was the 14th of the month, the full moon. Thus, the sun could move to the other side of the earth one year before and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then on the same date one year later the sun could move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
300 years before Hanukkah, December 13, 164 BC, was Purim of Esther, February 27, 464 BC.
Jesus began his ministry speaking from Isaiah 61, the day of release, the day of Atonement, the jubile. Then if 490 days back from Hanukkah is Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, and 490 days forward is the Passover, this equals two and a half years. Yet Jesus' ministry must be three and a half years. Thus, Jesus must have begun his ministry with the beginning of the 50th jubile year August/September 29 AD. Then one year later August/September 30 AD Yom Kippur marked the end of the 50th jubile year. From thence may have been counted 490 days to Hanukkah, then 490 days to Jesus' sacrifice at the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, back from Jesus' scrifice on April 3, 33 AD, 490 + 490 days = Friday, July 29, 30 AD = Yom Kippur. Then one year earlier Yom Kippur perhaps August 9, 29 AD.
Jesus began his ministry with Yom Kippur in 29 AD. So, Tuesday August 9, 29 AD or Friday September 9, 29 AD or Friday October 7, 29 AD.
Then by the 50 year cycle there was no sowing in 37 BC, 23 BC and 22 BC and shortage of bread as recorded by Josephus. Then the temple reconstruction began in 18 BC beginning the 49th of cycle, 46 years to 29 AD as recorded by the Gospels. The Roman general Pompey attacked Jerusalem in 66 BC = 49 years back from 17 BC. Then there was a 49th year jubile when Jesus gave his life on Calvary in April 3, 33 AD.
There may have been a sun miracle about the 17th day of the 7th month about the date Jesus would be born 500 years later, September 12, 7 BC. Thus, this 21st day of the 7th month was just 4 days after the 17th day. September 17, 507 BC was a lunar eclipse visible from China. A sun miracle on the 17th day of the 7th month of the Hebrew month should be Friday, September 20, 507 BC. This was day 14 of cycle 60 in China. Lunar eclipses occur on day 14 or day 15 of the moon in the Chinese calendar. Thus, a sun miracle on September 20 may be mistaken for a natural lunar eclipse on day 14. King Wan claimed there was an omen when there was a lunar eclipse, September 23, 1205 BC, on day 13 of cycle 60 because lunar eclipses do not naturally occur on day 13, but on day 15 of the Chinese lunar month.
Nevertheless, sun miracles 1200 years before Jesus' birth appear to have occurred in the same pattern as September 13, 7 BC and September 15, 5 BC.
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2:2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
2:4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:"
2 Kings 19:29 "And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof."
507 BC was the 49th jubile year from 1241 BC. As in the 50th jubile year the land was to remain fallow for two years. Thus, after the foundation of the second temple was laid in the second year the people could sow their fields again.
1 Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
There may have been a sun miracle 200 years before the birth of Christ. September 4, 207 BC, Sunday, was day 17 of the Hebrew lunar month. It was day 14 of cycle 60 of the Chinese calendar.
The 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month in 507 BC, September 20, 507 BC, was also on day 14 of cycle 60 in China.
That year, 207 BC, Lui Pang became emperor of China. A sun miracle in September of that year, the 17th day of the seventh month in 207 BC = 200 years to the birth of Jesus about Sepbember 12, 7 BC, may have given Lui Pang an omen he could use to gain superiority in the battle. That year he sent his astronomers to the four winds, to find the stars passing above to mark the four seasons for planting just as emperor Yao had after the sun stood still 9 days. Yao's calendar only works if there was a sun miracle about April 1, 2315 BC and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
"Lui Pang, came to the Mandate of Heaven" "He was divinely conceived by a kraken.."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.96.
Mandate of Heaven means a sun miracle that was taken as an omen.
"after defeating a Ch'in army in the eighth month of 208 BC.."Lui Pang was in Han-chung as the King of Han (206 BC)"
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.106.
"According to Shih chi, a victory at Wu Pass took place in the eighth month of the third year of the Second Emperor, 207 BC, about the same time that Chao Kao murdered the Second Emperor and Tzu Ying became king. The following month, Lui Pang also took Yao Pass."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.36.
The eighth month in China may equal the seventh month in Israel. The year 207 BC = 200 years to the birth of Jesus. A sun miracle on the 17th day of the 7th month, Saturday, September 3 / Sunday, September 4, 207 BC may be an omen of Jesus' birth on Saturday, September 12, 7 BC.
"In the second year (205 BC), the King of Han moved east overrunning territory and Ssu-ma Hsin, the King of Sai, Tung Yi, the King of Ti, and Shen Yang, the King of Ho-nan, all surrendered."
Note: 317 "Liang Yu-sheng points out that both of these kings surrendered in the eighth month of the first year of Han."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume II, p.47.
The eighth month of 205 BC would be September. There may have been a sun miracle that day in September when the Kings surrendered. Yang also means sun. Thus, the name Shen Yang could refer to a sun miracle. This could be a pattern of Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC and the sun returning two years later September 15, 5 BC. The same pattern of a sun miracle in king Wan in 1207 BC and the sun miracle / lunar eclipse, sun returning, September 23, 1205 BC. Thus, a sun miracle in Lui Pang's first year in 207 BC and in his second year in 205 BC. All These years were 100's of years to Jesus' birth.
"In the sixth month (15 July-13 August 205 BC) he, Lui Pang, installed him, Hsiao Hui, as the Heir Apparent.. Thereupon, he ordered the officials in charge of offerings to sacrifice to the Heaven, earth, the four directions, Shang-ti (The Supreme Diety), the mountains, and the rivers..."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume II, p.51.
A sun miracle in August/September of 207 BC, and the sun returning two years later in August/September 5 BC may point to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
The Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. Ptolemy IX, 1st 116 - 106 BC. Head of Ptolemy rt., wearing a fillet. / Eagle standing lt. on a thunderbolt. Thus, again, there may have been a sun miracle in 107 BC, 100 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Roman coin 211 BC - 208 BC - Bearded head of Mars right, wearing crested Corinthian helmet; LX (mark of value) behind / Eagle standing right on thunderbolt with wings spread. The astronomical significance may be a sun miracle in 207 BC = the sun miracle of Lui Pang in China in 207 BC, thus the eagle = the phoenix, 200 years before Jesus would be born = emperor Lui Pang's first year.
The Roman eagle may have represented the phoenix.
Mars must move, out of the way of the sun, when the sun moved to the other side of earth. Mars appears reddish, thus, Mars was the planet of war because of its blood reddish colour.
The four directions were like when Yao sent He and Ho to view the stars to mark the four seasons in 2315 BC, just after Yao's ten suns = Yao's long day of 9 X 12 hours. Thus, earth be still in a reverse orbit in the sixth month in July, the sun to return in the eighth month, in September 205 BC.
Joseph was brought out of prison and interpreted the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine in Pharaoh's dream and was made governor over Egypt, on Pharaoh's birthday which was always April 1.
Thus, Lui Pang could have looked to find the 4 stars that marked out the 4 seasons in a reverse orbit in 207 BC 200 years before Jesus' birth about September 13, 7 BC.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire."
Jeremiah 1:3 "It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month."
Thus, the first year of Nebuchadnezzar must have been 611 BC in the 30th year of the 50 year jubile count from 1241 BC.
Thus, the captivity was on the seventh day of the fifth month. This should be day 40 of the Chinese cycle of 60 to be the solar eclipse record for the sixth month, for day 40 of cycle 60, for 591 BC of cycle. The suggested date in the Chinese Classics is October 5, 591 BC which is incorrect.
Thus, Saturday, September 7, 591 BC is the seventh day of the month, seventh day of the week, 40th day of cycle 60, and could be the fifth month.
"The battle recounted here occurred in 597 BC. The army of Jin had set out to save the besieged state of Zheng from conquest by Chu."
"His defeat is like an eclipse of the sun or moon, which does not diminish their brilliance."
Chinese Civilization, A Source Book, Edited by Praticia Buckley Ebrey, p.16
From 597 BC are six years to 591 BC and the sun darkened at noon in Israel = at sunset in China. Thus, the reference to a notable "solar eclipse".
2 Kings 25:27 "And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;"
"seven and thirtieth year" = 37 years. Jesus must have been 38 when he suffered on the cross.
Therefore, 19 years back from 591 BC is 610 BC, Nebuchadnezzar's first year, year 30 of the 50 year jubile, 37 years forward is 573 BC to Nebuchadnezzar's death. Then 2 years of Evilmerodach, and a gap of 20 years to Cyrus in 551 BC.
Ezekiel 40:1 "In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south."
This 25th year of the captivity from 604 BC was 579 BC, the fourteenth year from 591 BC was 577 BC. The 49 year jubile was 605 BC. The year of cycle 60 was recorded was the first year of Duke Le of Tsin. Thus, perhaps there was a sun miracle that year behind the promotion of Duke Le.
September 7, 591 BC in the month of Av, the fifth month, was two months before the end of the 50th year in the seventh month. The civil new years was at the beginning of the seventh month. Then 70 years to August/September 521 BC, to begin the first year, year one, since the captivity after the 50th year. Thus, the jubile could hardly have been celebrated in 591 BC or the two months leading up to the first year in the seventh month in 521 BC.
So the first year in the tenth day of the seventh month, August 17, 521 BC would begin the first year and no jubile. Then the foundation of the second temple was laid in Zif or May of this second year. Zif means light. Thus, perhaps a long day of light when the building of the temple began. Also the first temple foundation was laid the 240th year from the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC, in the month of Zif, May, 1041 BC in the jubile year. May was the time of opening flowers which were to be carved on the inside of the temple.
Ezra 3:8 "Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
3:9 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
3:10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. "
Both 521 BC at the end of the 70 years of captivity = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, and the building of the temple begun again in the second year of Darius, 507 BC = 50 year jubiles to the birth of Jesus, September 12, 7 BC. Both temple dates point to Jesus.
Likewise, the rededication of the temple on Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice. Likewise, the rebuilding of the temple by Herod in 18 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
From the fourth year in the month of Zif the second month to the eleventh year in the month of Bul the eighth month; are seven years and six months.
Normally Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, would be the tenth day of the lunar month, Tuesday, July 30, 1241 BC and be just eleven days to Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC. The first Hebrew month must begin on the new moon January 26, 1241 BC for the crossing of the Jordan February 4, 1241 BC.
Because the jublile was unbroken from Yom Kippur, July 30, 1241 BC to the seventh day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC, then the 70 years captivity to September 521 BC, then 50 year jubilees to Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD - this must be the correct chronology.
From Moses' 40th year in 1321 BC when Moses thought to deliver the Hebrews, are 50 year jubiles to 29 AD when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18 on Yom Kippur to begin his ministry.
Dead Sea Scroll 4Q244 Frag. 12 1..four hundred years..
12.2 Their oppression and they shall come out of Egypt...the day they crossed the Jordan is the [x]th jubilee..
The [x]th jubile should be the 70th jubile from Adam's birth, year 700 from 5372 BC = 4672 BC; 70 X 49 years to 1241 BC.
"the four hundred years" to the Exodus Friday March 30, 1281 BC = 400 years of slavery from 1681 BC = the first year of Pharaoh Ahmose, the beginning of the 18th dynasty.
1242 BC may be both the 49 year jubile and the 50 year jubile. 50 year jubiles to 592 BC less 70 years of captivity to 522 BC. Then 22 BC is 50 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Nevertheless, 1242 BC would be year 49 and the seventh month of 1241 BC would begin the 50th year. Thus the destruction of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC the 7th day of the 5th month. Thus, Jesus speak on the 10th day the seventh month, on October 7, 29 AD = the beginning of the 50th year. On a jubile year the year began on day 10 of the 7th month instead of day 1 of the 7th month = on Yom Kippur when Jesus spoke, instead of Rosh Hashanah.
From 1242 BC the 49 year jubiles. Then 26 more 49 year jubiles from 1242 BC to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Then Joshua's long day about August 10, 1241 BC would count year one for both the 49 year jubiles and the 50 year jubiles. The 50 year jubiles count to the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC.
"the waters which come down..stood piled up. The sons of Israel crossed over when it was dry, in the first month of the forty-first year of their departure from the land of Egypt; it was the year of the Jubilees at the start of their entry into the land of Canaan; and the Jordan was full with water towards all its banks and it flooded with its water from the month..until the month of the wheat harvest.."
The Dead Sea Scolls, Study Edition, p. 751, 4Q379.
Thus, the 400 years of slavery from 1681 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC and the 49 year jubile in 1242 BC and Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC. That is, at the end of 1242 BC, after the 12th month, on the 10th day of the first month Israel crossed the River Jordan. Thus, also the 49 year jubile pointed to the 14th day of this first month, the Passover and Jesus' crucifixion.
Joshua 4:19 "And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho."
Joshua 3:15 "And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)"
Thus, Jordan at its greatest flood in January. The children of Israel then could cast their bread on the flood waters of Jordan, and harvest the wheat a few months later in May. That is, they would employ a small boat and as they glided a few inches over the land, they would cast out the wheat, or the barley, which would sink down in the mud. Soon the flood waters would go down, and the wheat would sprout and grow till harvest in May, the barley would sprout and grow till harvest in March.
Ecclessiastes 11:1 "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days."
Abraham was 172 years old in 2435 BC, in the sixth year from the jubile, from 2441 BC. That is, if 2441 BC was a jubile.
There were 21 jubiles from Jacob's death in 2290 BC to the crossing of the Jordan in 1241 BC. There were 30 jubiles from the new Egyptian sothis cycle (2737 BC) 2741 BC to 1241 BC. There were 46 X 50 jubiles from Enoch at the Armenian sothis year 365 from 3907 BC = 3542 BC, 2300 years to 1241 BC.
The 41st year from 1281 BC = 1241 BC. 1241 BC began the 50 year jubile to 591 BC. Then a 70 year period. And the jubile began from 521 BC to 29 AD. Jacob died at 147 years old in 2291 BC.
Genesis 47:9 "And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years:"
Genesis 47:28 "And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years."
Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC when he was 130 years old. 17 years later would be this 2291 BC.
Genesis 50:3 "And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days."
The star Sirius was not visible 70 days from May 7, to the first day of the sothis year, when Sirius rose before the sun at 4:15 AM on July 16.
Deuteronomy 34:7 "And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
34:8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended."
Moses died this 1242 BC almost 1241 BC, which would become the jubile. Thus, both Jacob and Moses would die on the jubile.
There may have begun a 50 year jubile from 2291 BC to this 1241 BC to 591 BC.
Likewise, both the 49 year and 50 year jubile be in 1291 BC and in 1241 BC.
The death of Pharaoh Ramses II also in 1291 BC.
"In his 29th year, the chief of the Pigmies came to court in token of homage, and offered as tribute their feathers which sank in the waters."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.112
From Yao's first year in 2315 BC to his 29th year = 2287 BC, just a few years after Jacob died in 2390 BC.
17 years was Joseph when sold into captivity. Rehoboam reigned 17 years from his father Solomon. Emperor Wen reigned 17 years from 180 BC to the sun rising in the west to the meridian in China on Hanukkah.
The sun miracle of Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC so impressed the Chinese emperor Wen - the sun rose in the west to the meridian on China, he began his regnal count of 17 years, to year one. The meridian is the north - south line through the middle of the sky.
Emperor Muh of China reigned 17 years from 965 BC till 948 BC till about the first year of King Ahab of Israel and the beginning of the three and a half years of famine:
"In his 18th year, in the spring, in the first month, he dwelt in the palace of Che, where the princes came and did homage."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.151
Akhu En Aten reigned 17 years. Levi died 17 years after Joseph. Joseph was 17 when he was sold into Egypt by his brothers.
Levi born 2352 BC - 137 = 2215 BC = the 100th year of the emperor Yao, when Yao died, in China and a sun miracle.
"On his accession (of Shun from the death of Yao), the felitus bean grew about the stairs, and phoenixes nested in the courts. When they beat and tapped the musical stones, to accompany the nine performances of the Shaou, all the beasts came after one another gambolling. A brilliant star came out in Fang. The earth produced the horse Shing-hwang."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books.
2 Kings 13:1 "In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years."
17 years also for Jehoahaz = the 23d year of Joash.
In 10 AD Jesus would be 17 years old. "The Gemma Augustea produced in 10 AD to mark a victory of Tiberias over the Dalmatians."
Constantine, Roman Emperor, Christian Victor, Chapter 3 - The emperor and the army - The unconquered emperor and the sun, p.74
There is a disc of Capricorn above. Perhaps there was a sun miracle that was taken as an omen to give divine approval.
"And in the sixth year, in the seventh week of this jubile Abraham called Isaac his son, and commanded him saying: I am old and do not know the day of my death, for I have completed my days. Behold I am one hundred and seventy-two years,.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, p.467
The birth of Abraham 2607 BC - 172 years = 2435 BC, back 6 years = 2441 BC. From 2441 BC to 2291 BC 150 years. From 2291 BC are 1700 years to the destruction of Jerusalem in 591 BC.
There was a sun miracle in Yao's / Joseph's 70th year from 2315 BC = 2245 BC. Then the 50 year jubile may be taken from when Joseph was 100 years old in 2245 BC when there was a sun miracle recorded in China. Joshua and the children of Israel crossed the Jordan in 1241 BC 1004 years later. The Egyptian calendar backed up one day every four years. Thus, a difference of one day in a thousand years = 1004 years. Thus, the tenth tenth jubile = (10 X 50) + (10 X 50) = 1000 years. Thus, the 400 years of slavery from 1681 BC to the Exodus 1281 BC.
1683 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD.
The Hebrews were slaves 400 years from 1681 BC to the Exodus on Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Amose I may have been this pharaoh of Egypt in 1681 BC.
Genesis 15:13 "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;"
There were about 400 years from Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament to Jesus.
The wall of Jerusalem was finished in 458 BC, about the time of Malachi.
Nehemiah 3:14 "But the dung gate repaired MalchiahH4441 the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof."
H4441 מַלְכִּיָהוּ מַלְכִּיָּה malkı̂yâh malkiyâhû mal-kee-yaw', mal-kee-yaw'-hoo From H4428 and H3050; king of (that is, appointed by) Jah; Malkijah, the name of ten Israelites: - Malchiah, Malchijah. Total KJV occurrences: 16
Then there may have been a 70 year period to begin the 50 year jubile as there was a 70 year period of captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC to begin the 50 year jubile to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 to fulfill a continuous jubile in September 29 AD.
Jacob must have died in 2291 BC. Jacob at 130 years old at 2307 BC 17 years 147 years old in 2291 BC. The same 50 year cycle in 1241 BC at the crossing of the river Jordan by Joshua.
Jacob live 147 years = 70 + 77 years; 35 + 35 + 38.5 + 38.5 years. Jesus lived 38.5 years and started his ministry when he was 35 years old..
From 1281 BC 400 years to 1681 BC, 10 jubilees is 500 years, 1780 BC, 20 jubilees is 1000 years, the new moon, day 38 of cycle 60, April 22, 2245 BC = the same Gegorian calendar date as Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, in Joseph/Yao's 70th year of rule from 2315 BC. 2345 BC = 38 years plus 2307 BC. Like what appears as a sun miracle at the Passover when Julius Caesar was killed in 45 BC = 38 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Then the 38 years of Jesus' life from 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
From this 2345 BC Jesus' life 38 years to 2307 BC. Jesus stayed behind at the temple when he was 12 years old. Then back from 2307 BC 12 years is 2319 BC = about the year Joseph was put in prison. 2319 BC = 2300 years to 19 BC when Herod started to rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. In 50 year jubiles from 2318 BC, is 18 BC; that equals 49 more years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Simply from 2369 BC to 2320 BC are 49 years. And from 2320 BC are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
The lunar day equals the same day in the Julian calendar every 19 years. Thus, the full moon Passover, six months after Jesus was born, April 4, 6 BC and the full moon Passover of Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
Likewise, when Jesus came up to the feast of tabernacles, it was his birthday, Friday, September 12, 32 AD just as it was, Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. The feast of tabernacles started on lunar day 15 to lunar day 22. Thus, lunar day 17 is the midst of the feast.
Nevertheless, this Yom Kippur may have been Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
John 7:14 "Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught."
"When the emperor had been on the throne 70 years, a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih, Corvus, and phoenixes appeared.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.113.
70 years from Yao's first year in 2315 BC = 2245 BC. 2245 BC - 38 years = 2207 BC, 2200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. The sun miracle in 2245 BC may have foretold the 38 years of Jesus' perfect life.
46 X 50 year jubilees from the sojourn into Egypt, 2307 BC, Jesus' birth in 7 BC. From 2532 BC when Abraham left Haran for the promised land, 1250 years, 25 X 50, to the Exodus in 1281 BC. All these ages add up exactly if Isaac was 69 and not 60 when Jacob and Esau were born. Nevertheless, Isaac was 60 at the end of the Armenian Sothis cycle 2447 BC. Terah was 70 when Abraham was born as well. Then Terah would be about 39, the age of Jesus when Jesus was crucified, the year of the sun miracle January 26, 2636 BC in China, at the start of the 60 day cycle and 60 year cycle.
Jubiles may be counted from Adam in 4568 BC. Then 2268 BC be a fifty year jubile. Then 1318 BC be a jubile. Then there be 38 more years to the Exodus. The 38 years be a type of the life of Christ. Likewise, from 4568 BC to 18 BC 50 year jubiles. The temple was reconstructed from 18 BC 46 years to April 29 AD. Then 49 years from 18 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
2 Kings 15:13 "Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria."
38 and 39 years are often mentioned in the Bible, perhaps they are a type of the 38 and a half years of Jesus' life. Also, Azariah, that is confused with King Uzziah = these are two different people = Azariah from 840 BC to 802 BC, and Uzziah from 802 BC to 751 BC. Azariah reigned 38 years and Uzziah 52 years, one after the other, they are not the same person. King Shallum lived in Uzziah's time and Jeroboam in Azariah's time. These 38 year time spans point to Christ.
2 Kings 15:8 "In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months."
Even the number of years of Jesus' life, 38 years and 6 months, from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD.
The day they crossed the Jordan in January 1241 BC would start the count of the 50 year jubile to 591 BC. Then 70 years captivity, and start the jubile in 521 BC to 21 BC + 50 years to September 29 AD when the jubile was fulfilled.
The full moon of spring in 2268 BC to be like the Passover and pattern 2300 years before Jesus' was crucified, should be on day 8 of cycle 60, and year 8 of cycle 60, March 23, 2268 BC. Thus, the Chinese lucky number 8 may have counted from sun miracles on a year 8 and a day 8.
In Yao's 42nd year a brilliant star appeared in Yih (Crater) = 2273 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' speaking from Isaiah 61 the fulfillment of the jubile on Yom Kippur, Saturday, September 10, 29 AD, or Friday, October 7, 29 AD. Supernova usually occur in the Milky Way. Leo = Yih, near Crater and is not in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is our own galaxy edge on.
Thus, the nearest stars to earth are mostly in the Milky Way. Supernovae in other far away galaxies are not normally visible as a brilliant star. Thus, a brilliant star appearing at the same time as phoenixes, must have something to do with God moving the sun, rather than a naturally occurring supernova. In Yao's 70th year "A brilliant star issued out of Yih, Corvus, and phoenixes appeared".
Phoenixes indicates the sun angel flying to the sun to move the sun to the other side of earth. Both may be records of sun miracles.
1034 years, according to Horodotus, from the sun rising in the west. That could be from Noah in 3307 BC - 1034 years = 2273 BC, Yao's 42nd year, a like sun miracle.
The best match for the 1034 years at the end of the sothis cycle = the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC, back 1034 years to April 1, 2315 BC = the sun standing still for nine days in China and Joseph being made governor over all of Egypt = Joseph's second dream in Genesis 37.
Yao's 70th year:
Yao and Joseph's first year was in 2315 BC when Joseph was 30 in 2315 BC. Then 70 years later Joseph was 100 years old when was a sun miracle recorded in China. This could be a sabbath fallow year in Egypt for Israel 6 X 7 = 42 from Joseph's first year in 2315 BC, and it be marked by a sun miracle.
"In his (Yao's) 42nd year, a brilliant star appeared in Yih (Crater?)"
The Chinese Classics
Perhaps the sun moved from Aries in early spring at the month that would become the Passover and be this brilliant star in Crater / Corvus, 180° away.
These brilliant new stars in Yih may point to the star that led the wisemen to Jesus. Arcturus, named in the Bible, is nearby, also.
The setting sun in Taurus, April 22, 2245 BC, Crater would be directly above at sunset. The sun moved to the other side of the earth, Crater would be directly above at sunrise, April 22, 2245 BC.
The Passover and Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD was 13 days after the spring equinox March 22, 33 AD. Likewise, April 22, 2245 BC was 13 days after the spring equinox April 11, 2245 BC.
Yao's 42nd year would be 2272 BC or 2273 BC. 2300 years before Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 and fulfilled the 50 year jubile. Likewise, Yao's 70th year, 2245 BC, was 2200 years + 38 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, and Jesus' life of 38 years to April 3, 33 AD. And 2200 years to the darkness at the Passover on the Ides of March, March 15, 45 BC, when Julius Caesar was killed. There may have been darkness over the earth, at 10 AM in Italy and in Rome, that the senators took as an omen to kill Julius Caesar.
From 2307 BC 35 years to 2272 BC. Jesus born about September 12, 7 BC and began his ministry when he was 35 in 29 AD. Thus, 50 year jubiles from 2272 BC to the jubile Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 to fulfill the jubile "this day":
Luke 4:21 "And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
March 19, 2273 BC, would be the full moon = what would become the Passover in Egypt. March 19, 2273 BC is day 38 of cycle 60. Just as April 22, 2245 BC is day 38 of cycle 60. Thus, the second time there was a sun miracle, it could have been on the same day of cycle 60. And the day of 60 recorded because of the omen of the day of cycle 60. Thus, the brilliant star also in Yih, Leo/Crater, would be connected to a sun miracle. The day before Yih would be directly above at sunset. The day after the sun moved to the other side of earth, March 19, 2273 BC, Yih would be directly above at sunrise.
2273 BC in 50 year jubiles to 23 BC 50 years to 28 AD and Jesus spoke on the jubile of Isaiah 61.
Moreover, Yih = Crater, would rise earlier each day and be more visible through the night because of the reverse orbit. Thus, instead of disappearing into the sunset over the next months, the brilliant star in Yih would become visible all night.
"On the second month, the sin-chow, (day 38 of cycle 60 = April 22, 2245 BC the new moon = 38 years to 2207 BC), between dark and light, the ceremonies were all prepared; and when the day began to decline, a glorious light came from the Ho, and beautiful vapours filled all the horizon; white clouds rose up, and returning winds blew all about. Then the dragon-horse appeared, bearing in his mouth a scaly cuirass, with red lines on a green ground, ascended the altar, laid down the scheme and went away..The scheme contained a tally of white gem in a casket of a red gem, covered with yellow gold, and bound with a green string. On the tally were the words, 'With pleased countenance given to the emperor Shun.' It said also that Yu and Hea should receive the appointment of Heaven."
"Two years afterwards, in the 2nd month, he led out all his ministers, and dropped a peih in the Lo. The ceremony over, he retired, and waited for the decline of the day. Then a red light appeared; a tortoise rose from the waters, with a writing in red lines on its back, and rested on the altar. The writing said that he should resign the throne to Shun, which accordingly the emperor did."
The Chinese Classics, p. 114.
"between the dark and light" may equal darkness like the darkness when Jesus was on the cross. Noon Jerusalem equals sunset on China. The sun may reappear one hour later in the west before setting on China.
"the sun and moon like a pair of gems" must be a sun miracle; the sun and moon being moved around the earth perhaps to stand still in the sky perhaps shining more brightly and together on the new moon.
"Two years afterwards, in the 2nd month, he led out all his ministers, and dropped a peih in the Lo. The ceremony over, he retired, and waited for the decline of the day. Then a red light appeared; a tortoise rose from the waters, with a writing in red lines on its back, and rested on the altar. The writing said that he should resign the throne to Shun, which accordingly the emperor did."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.113.
Two years to the same day, April 22, 2243 BC is lunar day 21 = the seventh day of unleavened bread from the Passover, April 16, 2243 BC.
"then a red light appeared" = the sun travelling around the earth at or very near the speed of light = time on the sun would stop and only the red spectrum of light could be seen = the darkness when Jesus was on the cross at the Passover, April 3, 33 AD = the same tropical date April 22, 2245 BC. The Julian calendar looses one day every 128 years, (2245 + 33) years / 128 = 18 days = moves April 22, 2245 BC to equal April 3, 33 AD. Likewise, Julius Caesar was killed on the ides of March = darkness at noon or about 11 AM that the senators of Rome took for an omen to kill Julius = the Passover March 15, 45 BC.
These discs are the Peih in sizes from six inches across to 14 inches across. The largest jade disc, about 6 inches across, was highly valued by the Emperor. The ancient symbol for the sun was a circle with a dot inside. Thus, the Peih may be a symbol for the sun.
The day 38 of cycle 60, 2nd month, should be the new moon, April 22, 2245 BC. Most importantly because the 70 years is most likely from Yao's first year in 2315 BC, and 2245 BC is 38 years before 2207 BC = the pattern of the 38 years of Jesus' life. And April 22, 2245 BC is the new moon and the second month.
186 days, half an orbit, from the new moon April 22, 2245 BC is the tenth day of the seventh month, October 26, 2245 BC Yom Kippur.
Saturday, October 16, 2246 BC is day 17 of the Hebrew lunar month = day 30 of cycle 60. October 10, 2246 BC was the autumn equinox.
April 22, 2244 BC, is the tenth day of what would be four days before the Passover when the lamb was to be taken into the home for four days.
Exodus 12:3 "Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:"
Joshua 4:19 "And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho."
Or, the second month, day 38 of cycle 60, April 27, 2246 BC = two years later, Friday, April 27, 2244 BC is the full moon = the Passover.
October 26, 2244 BC, is day 22 of the seventh month = the last day of the feast of tabernacles.
April 22, 2243 BC, the 21st day of the month, is the seventh day of unleavened bread after what would be the Passover. When the sun may return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit that day.
Thus, the sun may move 180° on those days, earth flowing into and out of reverse orbits.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle seven years later on Yao's 49th year also to point to Jesus' sacrifice. Thus, 180° from the sun in Pisces/Aries in Spring is Yih/Crater/Corvus. Thus, the brilliant star may be the sun in Crater moved to the other side of earth, March 23, 2268 BC, to be a pattern of a sun miracle on the Passover when Jesus was crucified 2300 years later.
50th year from 2316 BC may be counted as 2267 BC.
Or, the 50th year from 2315 BC may be counted as 2266 BC.
The 50th year of Shun in 2169 BC = the first year of Yu = the 50th year of cycle 60 from 2636 BC.
The first year of Shun in 2217 BC be the 60th year of cycle 60 from 2636 BC.
From 2316 BC, Yao's 50th year would be 2267 BC = 2300 years before Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. The 50th year could be a type of jubile for Israel in Egypt, and there may have been a sun miracle at that time, such as God's chariot pulling the sun. From 2307 BC to 2267 BC = 38 years of Jesus' life.
Jacob was at the end of his 14 year stay with Laban when Joseph was born, and stayed 6 more years till coming to Canaan. Jacob was supposed to have been born when Isaac was 60. But Jacob was born when Isaac was 69. Then Jacob would be 110 when Isaac died at 180 in 2327 BC.
Then Joseph was sold into slavery when he was 17, and Jacob 107. Jacob came into Canaan when he was 97 and Isaac died soon after. That leaves 23 years from Jacob coming into Canaan till Isaac died.
Joseph met his fathers and brothers for the first time in 23 years in 2307 BC. 2307 BC is 23 X 100 years to Jesus' birth. Joseph born 2345 BC is 38 years to 2307 BC; Jesus lived 38 and a half years from September 12, 7 BC to April 3, 33 AD. Julius Caesar died on the Passover, March 15, 45 BC = also 38 years to Jesus' birth.
From Adam in year 700 in the Septuagint to his death in year 930 is 230 years. 23 X 10 = 230. From a year 777 to 800 is 23 years. From a year 77 = 2 X 38.5 = the years of Jesus' life, to 100 is 23 years.
Genesis 25:21 "And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived."
Rebekah lived at least 120 years, and Isaac lived 180 years.
Genesis 25:26 "And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them."
Isaac must have been 60 and 9 years old = 69 years old, the 9 having been omitted by a copy error, when Jacob was born. Thus did Isaac intreat for Rebekah.
2447 BC would be when Isaac was 60, would be the new Armenian Sothis cycle. The split of the Catholic Church in 552 AD was supposedly at the new Armenian Sothis cycle in 552 AD. Yes, the split of the catholic church in 552 AD must be right, but the end of the Armenian sothis calendar must be back 76 years to match the Egyptian Sothis cycle, back 1460 years from 476 AD back to 986 BC and 1460 years back to the new Armenian sothis cycle at 2446 BC.
467 BC is the first year of emperor King Ching-Ting = kwei-yew (10th of cycle 60 = 467 BC)
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.167
468 BC was 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Many Kings of China began their reigns in a year ending X67 BC in the spring, possibly with the darkness like the darkness when Jesus was on the cross.
"In his (King Ching-Ting) 7th year (from 467 BC = 461 BC), Seun Yaou of Tsin walled Nan-leang."
Note: (Here) One copy adds: - 'In the 20th year of duke Ch'uh of Tsin.'
"In his 10th year, Luh-ch'ing, the viscount of Yu-yueh died, and was succeeded by Puh-show."
The 10th year from 467 BC = 458 BC. Perhaps there was a sun miracle in this 458 BC.
"His 16th year (from 467 BC = 452 BC) was the 22nd year (from 473 BC = 452 BC) of the duke Ch-uh of Tsin."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.167
458 BC was when Nehemiah completed the wall of Jerusalem. The Sabbath year next was in 451 BC.
Nehemiah 5:14 "Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor."
Thus, there may be sun miracles in 458 BC and in 445 BC to mark this 12 years of Artaxerxes from 458 BC.
458 BC = 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice. 445 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life, to 407 BC = 400 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
"In his 17th year (from 424 BC = 407 BC), the prince Wan of Wei invaded Ts'in as far as Ch'ing, and on his return built Fun-yin and Hoh-yang. T'een Taou-tsze died; and T'een Poo put to death his great officer Kung-sun Sun. Kung-sun Hwuy took possession of Lin-k'ew, and rebelled against Chaou. T'een Poo laid seige to Lin-k'ew, to the rescue of which came Teih Keoh, K'ung See of Chaou, and the army of Han, who fought with Poo near the marsh of Lung, defeated him and put him to flight."
The Chinese Classics. p.169.
An omen of a sun miracle in 407 BC may have moved China to war.
The Chinese changed emperors often when there was a sun miracle they took as a bad omen. This 467 BC was the tenth year of Xerxes = about the time of Esther.
Abraham born in 2607 BC and Jacob 130 years old in 2307 BC = the Sojourn into Egypt, only work if Isaac was 69 when Jacob was born.
Then Jacob would be 110 when Isaac died at 180. Joseph would be born when Jacob was 91, and in his old age, if Jacob was 130 when he entered Egypt when Joseph was 39. Then Joseph would be about 18 when Isaac died, about the 17 years of age he is the chapter following Isaac's death. That leaves 14 years from Jacob coming into Canaan till Isaac died. Thus, Josephus may be correct that Isaac died shortly after Jacob returned to Canaan. Then Jacob left for Haran when he was 70 years old in 2368 BC. From 2369 BC 49 year jubiles to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD. Back from 2368 BC = 2200 years, 44 X 50 jubiles from Adam in Armenian year 800 = 4568 BC.
Then Jacob was in Haran from about 2368 BC to 2342 BC.
Abraham lived 175 years from 2607 BC to 2432 BC = 100 years before this 2342 BC.
Joseph was born in 2345 BC and Benjamin would be born 9 years later in 2336 BC. Thus, Joseph was 17 when he was sold into slavery by his brothers = the death of Isaac at 180 years old in 2327 BC.
According to the Ancient Book of Jubilees, Joseph was born in 2345 BC / 2343 BC and Benjamin in 2336 BC / 2333 BC = the first of the sixth week from 2369 BC.
That is, Benjamin born in 2333 BC = 36 years from the 49 year jubile in 2369 BC.
Benjamin would have been 9 years younger than Joseph, 8 years old when Joseph was 17 years old. Jesus was 12 years old when he stayed behind at the temple at Jerusalem to question the doctors of the law. When Joseph would invite Jacob and family to sojourn in Egypt, Joseph possibly was 38 - or according to the Ancient Book of Jubilees Joseph was 34 when his father and brother's came into Egypt in the second year of famine, and then Joseph was 38 at the end of the 7 years of famine - 2302 BC. Jesus was 38 when he was crucified, and would be 35 when he first began his ministry, October 7, 29 AD.
Nevertheless, Joseph would be 30 in 2315 BC, born in 2345 BC, and 38 in 2307 BC.
Thus, Benjamin would have been old enough for Joseph to have made friendship with his brother before he was sold into captivity.
Genesis 37:33 "And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days."
Jacob may also be mourning for his father Isaac as well as for Joseph that same year, 2327 BC.
John 2:12 "After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
2:13 And the Jews Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,"
John 2:18 "Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
The temple had been under construction from the 49th cycle jubile. 49 years from 17 BC is Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. 490 years from the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. Josephus wrote of the temple being rebuilt from the 49th of cycle. The temple was built by the priests.
There was another year 49, the 50th year of the 50 year cycle, both year 49 and year 50 were Sabbath for the fallow land, in 23 BC which was part of the 50 year jubile cycle which was calculated by the four year Olympic cycle. Thus, both the 49 year cycle from 1241 BC to 33 AD, and the 50 year jubile cycle from 1241 BC to 591 BC - 70 year gap - from 521 BC to 29 AD, were in effect.
And thus Jesus spoke on the beginning of the fiftieth cycle, Yom Kippur August 9, 29 AD or September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, in Luke 4 and was crucified in the 49th cycle April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the 49th year may be the jubile. And thus this resurrection year would be a year of release of the jubile.
John 2:22 "When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did."
Jesus must have spoken these words on the Passover, Wednesday, March 8, 30 AD.
From the jubile on Yom Kippur September 16, 521 BC, every 50 years to Yom Kippur August 9, 29 AD or September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Nehemiah 8:2 "And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month."
Perhaps Saturday, July 2, 29 AD or Saturday, August 27, 29 AD, or September 27, 29 AD, was Rosh Hashanah on the eve of the seventh month. Jesus may have read Luke 4 and Isaiah 61 to begin the jubile on the first day of the seventh month instead of the 9th day of Yom Kippur. Jesus was 40 days in the wilderness fasting a day for each of the 40 years and reading in Deuteronomy, which was all about preparing to cross over Jordan and possess the promised land. Joshua's long day must have been August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC. Thus, about the day of victory of Joshua, Jesus who is Joshua, stood up to speak in Luke 4. The one who had just gotten the victory over Satan.
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
Luke 4:21 "And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
Matthew 4:14 "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Isaiah 58:7 "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward."
Isaiah 58:10 "And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:"
Thus, a brilliant sudden sunrise in the east as the sunrise at 9 PM Saturday = the evening and the morning were the first day = when Jesus rose from the dead.
Isaiah 62:1 "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."
Zion I am told means sunny.
Two stand alone winter half reverse orbits without summer reverse orbits would give 30 minutes and 30 minutes = 60 minutes missing time to be countered by the hour of darkness when Jesus was on the cross. However, this year appears to have both a summer and a winter reverse orbit. So one more stand alone winter half reverse orbit would need to occur before or after these years. This second stand alone winter half reverse orbit may be the return of the sun on the night after the end of the month of the Passover in 34 AD.
The real light is Jesus' life and example. A Friday could be the day when Jesus called Andrew and Peter on a work day when they were fishing on a work day, the Friday the day before the Sabbath:
Matthew 4:18 "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him."
Mark 1:21 "And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught."
2 Peter 1:19 "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:"
The Egyptians watched for the appearing of Sirius, 4:15 AM July 16 every year. This event would begin their year and 1460 year sothis cycle and warn when the Nile River would flood. Sirius would disappear in the western sunset 77 days earlier, then reappear before the sunrise July 16 every year.
John 20:1 "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."
John 20:14 "And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
Thus, "ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts".
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Psalm 77:16 "The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled."
In an old city in Estonia, they employed a man to keep watch at the gate. The city was surrounded by a wall, and there was one gate. The watch keeper would stand in a tunnel below the gate. He would watch a bowl of water with a candle to keep light. Whenever an intruder entered the gate, the bowl of water would tremble, the watchman would immediately notify the towns people to take defense. Years later the city became part of the country and there was no need for the watchman.
Proverbs 27:19 "As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man."
Perhaps the waters of Bethesda were working miracles not of God, thus were afraid. Perhaps a false angel may have worked miracles. The waters were moved, but the older copy does not contain the word angel. There may have been sun miracles when the sun revolved around the earth, thus the waters would be troubled by slight earthquakes. "Rise sun of righteousness with healing in thy wings" may mean there would be healing when there was a sun miracle. Hezekiah was healed when the sun returned ten steps = ten hours, on the upper sun dial of Ahaz. Only of Jesus is there real healing. Thus, Jesus healed the man with the palsy:
John 5:1 "After this there was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
This verse, John 5:4, does not appear in the Codex Sinaiticus:
John 5:4 "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."
Thus, we are no wiser by reading John 5:4.
John 5:5 "And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years."
This 38 years may be the same age as Jesus.
John 5:8 "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."
John 5:14 "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
There may not have been sun miracles during Jesus' ministry, only to begin on Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD, and to end the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
If there was a reverse orbit in Jesus' ministry, it may be just two sun miracles - one to begin the reverse orbit on Yom Kippur, about October 7, 29 AD and the sun to move back to finish the reverse orbit about the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
For the sabbaton to be a Saturday of seven days = 7 X 12 when Jesus was in the tomb, the sun may move to the other side of earth April 3, 31 AD the last day of the feast of unleavened bread of the Passover = + 12 hours, and the sun move back two years later, April 3, 33 AD, the last Passover = + 84 hours, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. 12 hours + 84 hours = 96 hours. 2 X 48 hours = 96 hours.
Then also, there may be a sun miracle to begin Jesus' ministry October 7, 29 AD Yom Kippur, and on October 7, 30 AD, the last day of the feast of tabernacles, one year later.
Thus, the sign of Jonah where Jonah reached Nineveh in one day, normally a three day journey also. Nineveh was a great city of three days journey is said because it took three days to walk around it.
There was a total solar eclipse June 15, 763 BC in Nineveh. There was also a great earthquake in Israel around that time. There was also a prediction the sun would go down in Amos 8:9 for about the same time. The solar eclipse recorded may rather to have been a record of a sun miracle, and not from the solar eclipse.
There must be a long day, 36 hour day = 3 X 12 hours = 24 more hours, to travel a three day journey around Nineveh in a long day that was 36 hours long.
Jonah lived in the 41 years of the reign of Jeroboam II, between 855 BC and 815 BC.
Jonah In the 15th year of Amaziah = 852 BC.
2 Kings 14:23 "In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.
14:24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
14:25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher."
We know the story of Jonah and the whale is true because Jesus spoke of Jonah and the whale.
In Jonah the word fishH1709 was used.
Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fishH1709 to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fishH1709 three days and three nights.
H1709 דָּאג דָּג dâg dâ'g dawg, dawg From H1711; a fish (as prolific); or perhaps rather from H1672 (as timid); but still better from H1672 (in the sense of squirming, that is, moving by the vibratory action of the tail); a fish (often used collectively): - fish. Total KJV occurrences: 19
Matthew 12:39 "But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale'sG2785 belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Matthew 12:41 "The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here."
Mark 8:11 "And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
8:12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation."
There may not be sun miracles during Jesus' ministry.
Nevertheless, the Passover, Friday, April 3, 33 AD would be the time expected for a sun miracle, such as the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross.
G2785 κῆτος kētos kay'-tos Probably from the base of G5490; a huge fish (as gaping for prey): - whale. Total KJV occurrences: 1
Whales are mentioned in the Bible, but the word H8577 in Hebrew does not necessarily mean whale.
H8577 תַּנִּים תַּנִּין tannı̂yn tannı̂ym tan-neen', tan-neem' (The second form used in Ezekiel 29:3); intensive from the same as H8565; a marine or land monster, that is, sea serpent or jackal: - dragon, sea-monster, serpent, whale. Total KJV occurrences: 23
The Leviathan maybe an Ogopogo = Cadborosaurus. The Ogopogo leaves no remains, and may swallow it victim whole. Recent videos of Ogopogo are 100 feet long and several feet around. I have seen what must be the belly of an Ogopogo rolling, near shore, Dennis Good's wharf in Summerland on July 4, 1997, a green scally belly, like a green carpet, rolling to a sharp edge of black - like the edge of a carpet, a smooth black upper side - at least several feet around.

Ezekiel 32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whaleH8577 in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
From Wikipedia:
(1:17 in English translations), the Hebrew text reads dag gadol[113] (דג גדול) or, in the Hebrew Masoretic Text, dāḡ gā·ḏō·wl (דָּ֣ג גָּד֔וֹל), which means "great fish".[113][114] The Septuagint translates this phrase into Greek as kētei megalōi (κήτει μεγάλῳ), meaning "huge fish".[115] In Greek mythology, the same word meaning "fish" (kêtos) is used to describe the sea monster slain by the hero Perseus that nearly devoured the Princess Andromeda.[116] Jerome later translated this phrase as piscis grandis in his Latin Vulgate.[117] He translated kétos, however, as ventre ceti in Matthew 12:40:[118] this second case occurs only in this verse of the New Testament.[119][120]
"At some point cetus became synonymous with "whale" (the study of whales is now called cetology). In his 1534 translation, William Tyndale translated the phrase in Jonah 2:1 as "greate fyshe" and the word kétos (Greek) or cetus (Latin) in Matthew 12:40[121] as "whale". Tyndale's translation was later incorporated into the Authorized Version of 1611. Since then, the "great fish" in Jonah 2 has been most often interpreted as a whale. In English some translations use the word "whale" for Matthew 12:40, while others use "sea creature" or "big fish".[122].
The parallels with the whale and the Ogopogo are interesting. The parallels with the dragon and Ogopogo are also interesting.
The parallel with a sun miracle is also interesting.
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Note: "The most extreme expression of inclusive reckoning: Jesus is in fact interred for only two nights and one full day."
The Gospels, a new translation, by Sarah Ruden. p.104.
The parallel with three days and three nights from Friday night to Sunday morning essentially means God must have moved the sun with earth's rotation for either a long night or a long day or a long twilight = 3 X 24 hours or 3 X 360°.
These sun miracles are just possibilities. In a reverse orbit year there are 48 hours of long days that need to equal the 48 hours of a sped up reverse orbit. The long days should usually appear in half orbit, six month, times.
2 Kings 14:21 "And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
14:22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.
14:24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
14:25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher."
Jeroboam II reigned from the 15th year of Amaziah 855 BC. Amaziah died in 840 BC. Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC. The 49 year jubile was in 802 BC and in 851 BC.
Like Egyptian Sothis year 430 at the Sojourn into Egypt in 2307 BC, the next year 430 was 851 BC = the 49 year jubile.
Thus, Jonah is mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25.
John 5:1 "After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
This may be the feast of the Passover, meaning Jesus' ministry should be three and a half years.
Matthew 12:39 "But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
From Yom Kippur on Friday, October 7, 29 AD are three and a half orbits to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Possibly the sun moved 5 X 12 hours October 7, 29 AD, and moved 12 hours back April 3, 31 AD = 60 hours + 12 hours = 72 hours = one and a half years of reverse orbit.
Then the sun again move 12 hours April 3, 31 AD and back 84 hours April 4, 33 AD = two years reverse orbit.
If the night and day following was 7 X 12 hours = 7 X 180° longer, moving the sun with earth's rotation. Therefore the sun standing still on the other side of the earth for a long night in Israel.
Then the day and night be three 24 hour days longer than normal, = 84 hours = 3 X 24 + 12 hours = a Sabbaton, a sabbath of sevens = 7 X 12 hours. Then the sped up orbit of 48 hours a year in two years would equal 96 hours. That is, the sun being moved 180° April 3, 30 AD and moving back 7 X 180° April 3, 33 AD two years later.
Then for there to be three and a half orbits for Jesus' three and a half years of ministry, there may have been only a few unnoticed 180° sun miracles from Yom Kippur on October 7, 29 AD to October 7, 30 AD. Thus, the significant sun miracle may have been the three days and three nights Jesus was in the tomb = "the sign of Jonas".
April 7, 30 AD was the full moon and Passover. October 7, 30 AD was the last day of the feast of tabernacles = two and a half years to Jesus' sacrifice.
From October 7, 29 AD to April 5, 33 AD are three and a half years. A long day October 7, 29 AD of 84 hours = 7 X 12 hours, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then a long day or long night April 4, 33 AD of 84 hours = 7 X 12 hours = a Sabbaton, and the sun move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
From the last day of the feast of unleavened bread of the Passover, the last quarter moon of the first month of spring, Tuesday, April 3, 31 AD are two years to Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The last quarter moon of the Passover, April 3, 31 AD:
From the new moon April 3, 29 AD are four years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD. From April 3, 29 AD is half an orbit to Yom Kippur, when Jesus began his ministry in Luke 4 reading from Isaiah 61 - to October 7, 29 AD.
From Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD is half an orbit to the Passover, April 7, 30 AD.
The sign of Jonah was the three days Jesus was in the tomb. The significance of the three days may be a long night/day of 3 X 24 hours, that is 7 X 12 hours, the Friday/Saturday Jesus was in the tomb. Thus, the three whole days Jonah was in the whale's belly.
The sun miracles in the Old Testament pointed to Jesus. Thus, when Jesus was before them there was no need of a sun miracle. Jesus name in Hebrew is Joshua. Thus, the Pharisees may have been tempted to ask a sun miracle of Jesus like Joshua's long day. Jesus is everything. So there would be no point.
Jonah 3:3 "So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown."
Jonah may have had a long day of +72 hours, 3 X 24 hours, to make the journey. Perhaps Jonah entered Nineveh on the first day.
Nevertheless, Nineveh was a great city because it took three days to walk around Nineveh. Thus, Jonah may have had a long day, one long day, to run around Nineveh in one day.
Nevertheless, people could walk long distances in those days and this just underlines their ability to walk a like distance from Jerusalem to Galilee in three days, or even one day of +24 hours = a day of 36 hours.
Possibly there was a long day of +84 hours, like a week's journey. This would be 55 miles a day, 443 miles total. 443 / 8 = 55 miles a day. Add the distance to run around the city of Nineveh = the distance Clifford ran 544 miles.
This is similar to the distance as from Melbourne to Sydney. There was a race from Melbourne to Sydney in 1983, 544 miles. A 61 year old farmer, Cliff Young, ran day and night and in five days finished first. I match some Youngs both in Y-DNA and autosomal DNA. DeJong is the most common surname in the Netherlands.
Nevertheless, Jonah must have ran around Nineveh in one day instead of three days.
About 30% of the Netherlands are the same R1b1 L48 from this same ancestor that arrived in the Netherlands 83 generations ago.
Likewise, about 25% of Jewish men in the Netherlands are R1b1 Jewish. About 10% of Jewish men are R1b1 Jewish.
Thus, R1b1 Jewish, while the same shared Y-DNA as in Europe may rather be from Israel.
Then about 10% of those reading this page, either Jewish or Gentile, would probably descended from this same Jewish R1b1 ancestor.
There is a common ancestor to this group from 1750 BC, possibly from Egypt during the Sojourn that was from April 1, 2307 BC to the Exodus that was March 30, 1281 BC.
Many became Jews in 465 BC:
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
8:17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them."
Many may have became Jews for the sun miracle "The Jews had light".
Nevertheless, the common R1b1 Jewish ancestor may have been from about 164 BC.
Isaiah 6:13 "But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."
Nineveh was a great city of three days journey around the city. That is 60 miles around the city - one day of walking is 20 miles. Thus, most likely Jonah made the trip around Nineveh in one day. Either this was a long day, or Jonah ran the whole time.
In a long day of 24 hours longer, that would give Jonah 3 X 12 hours = 3 X 20 miles, to circle the city of Nineveh.
Acts 2:5 "And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God."
At the time of Jesus my ancestor would be Jewish and possibly be in the Netherlands. The Gospel must have reached the Netherlands some time after 100 AD. The Gospel came to Western China before it came to Sweeden. Most likely my ancestors stayed Jewish and moved to Southern England to be tax collectors for Willliam the Conquer in 1066 AD. They took the surname Cockerham, and became Christian at the Edict of Edward I in 1290 AD in England.
Cockerham cousins must have left England for Scotland in this 1290 AD.
"After 800 years, Church of England apologizes to Jews for laws that led to expulsion" "The decrees were followed by more anti-Jewish laws, and eventually the mass expulsion of England’s 3,000 Jews of the time in 1290 AD."
17 Jewish bodies found in medieval well in Norwich. Date to the 12th or 13th century. There was a bottle neck at 75 AD at the Jewish diaspora at the destruction of Jerusalem. There was a bottle neck at 500 AD and a bottle neck at 1100 AD when many Jewish people fled to eastern Europe.
All Ashkenazi Jews descend from 350 men from 1350 AD. People were forbiden to become Jewish. So there was so much intermarriage most Ashkenazi Jews are fourth cousins. Most of my Jewish matches are from eastern Europe. The Cohen priesthood could not marry a convert and they had to also marry a daughter of Aaron.
Then, these Jewish matches to fourth cousins, that are actually 24th cousins, mean there was already a lot of inter-marriages of Jewish people before the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 AD.
Most likely I am the first to come to the Gospel in all my lineage.
Like the Missing Day Story, "they ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt." Likewise, when DNA testing came out, going back and forth over the centuries, it became evident both when R1b1 became Jewish and when later the same R1b1 became Christian.
10% of Jewish people are R1b1. This means, the common R1b1 ancestor must be much further back than 83 generations, possibly from the Pharisees in 164 BC or the return in 521 BC or the Exodus in 1281 BC or from a common ancestor from 1750 BC.
In the American Encyclopedia 1903, is stated that a Jewish man that was not married by the time he was twenty was considered living in sin, even if he was not. A generation is usually counted as 30 years. So, if Jewish men married earlier, a generation may be counted about 28 years. 83 X 28 = about 300 BC. L48 was stated to have begun about 500 BC.
Nevertheless, descendents from the common ancestor from 400 BC are rare. More likely the common R1b1 Jewish ancestor was from further back, even 1750 BC.
Those fellow Christians with Jewish ancestry, to my knowledge, come from the Netherlands, and earlier from eastern Europe.
A man with the last name Young finished second in the Kelowna Marathon October 11, 2015, perhaps related to the Cliff Young who worn the Australian race from Melborne to Sydney in 1983. The most common name in the Netherlands is de Jung.
At the same pace Jonah would have made 443 miles in three 24 hour days, 72 hours + 12 hours.
More likely, Jonah entered Nineveh after running around the city in one day, when it takes three days time to travel around the city. Thus the necessity of a long day.
Jonah prophesied between 855 BC and 815 BC - during the 40 year reign of Jeroboam II king of Israel.
The three days journey is said to refer to the time it took to walk around the city, and that Jonah did that in one day and that was why the city was so great.
After the sun had completed the 180° or multiples of 180° the sun would appear normal. Thus, God made the sun to rise on the good and the bad.
Matthew 14:12 "And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
14:13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities."
Matthew 14:15 "And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals."
Mark 6:35 "And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed."
That hour was after sunset, soon to be dark. However, the sun must return the evening of February 32 AD. If the sun did not return to stand still in the sky Saturday February then it might return at sunset February. There would be a long twilight, perhaps this red sunset for 12 hours. Perhaps this would be the meaning of "the day was far spent" and "the time is now past". Then the sun suddenly set in the west and an hour or two later rose in the east. Thus, the red sky in the morning when the great wind blew.
The sun would be purple red at sunset and crimson red at sunrise. Red is the colour of the Chinese New Year. February 32 AD would see a red sun and red moon in China on the 13th day of the 15 day new year celebration.
The Chinese word auspicious is hung upside down during the Chinese New Year.
That night before February 12, 32 AD the Chinese would see Arcturus and the handle of the Big Dipper down, then that night they would see the Big Dipper pointing up, then pointing down at midnight again.
John 6:1 "After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
6:4 And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"
John 6:16 "And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went."
Mark 6:48 "And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them."
Judges 7:19 "So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands."
The Jewish people had three watches. The Romans had four watches. The mariners had four watches. Thus there were four watches in Mark 6:48.
Gideon attacked at the middle watch of the night.
Perhaps the sun rose in the west at the middle watch, to begin the crossing of the Jordan river February 4, 1241 BC or to begin Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
The verses that refer to the red sky, Matthew 16:2 and 16:3, are not in the oldest copies the Codex Sinaiticus.
Matthew 16:1 "The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
16:2 He answered and said unto them,When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed."
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Isaiah 7:10 "Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
7:11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
7:13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Day 42 of cycle 60 was about the full moon, Thursday, March 27, 719 BC.
March 27, 719 BC is day 44. Wednesday March 26, 719 BC a day earlier and counting from before dark in China - the day is counted at dark after dusk, means Wedneday March 26, 719 BC can be day 42 of cycle 60 in China. Thus, the sun darkened at noon in Israel = the sun darkened at sunset in China = the solar eclipse record for day 42.
The darkness at noon at the Passover in Jerusalem when Jesus was put on the cross, is like the darkness at 11 AM at Rome March 15, 45 BC and like the darkness at noon at the fall of Jerusalem Saturday, September 7 that also was recorded a solar eclipse in China. Both solar eclipses day 42 of cycle 60, March 26, 719 BC and day 40 of cycle 60, in September 7, 591 BC do not match any solar eclipse date.
Darkness in Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC and when Jesus was on the cross April 3, 33 AD.
The Chinese new year began not before December, but in January. January 13, 719 BC the year before King Ahaz died. January 16, 703 BC = the year the sun retreaded ten steps, ten hours, from the west to set in the east. December 30, 689 BC = the year Hezekiah died in March 688 BC.
The next year the same date was 5 more days, cycle 60 to 365 day year, = day 47. The Emperor died on day 47. The sun must return on the same date one year later and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The next year Friday, March 25, 717 BC was the fifth day of the first month of spring and the sixth day of the week.
Hezekiah began his reign in the first month of Nissan after his father King Ahaz died in the 12th month the month of Adar in this 717 BC.
Isaiah 13:10 "For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine."
Isaiah 14:28 "In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden."
Thus, this "solar eclipse" in the spring of 718 BC = the year before King Ahaz died in the month of Adar in 717 BC.
The solar eclipse must be the sun being darkened at the sixth hour = noon, in Israel, as the sun was darkened at the sixth hour of the day when Jesus was on the cross. Thus, China would see the setting sun in the west darkened, and think this was a solar eclipse.
"In his, King P'ing, 51st year, in the spring, in the 2nd month, on the day yih-sze, 42nd of cycle, there was an eclipse of the sun. In the third month, on the day kang-seuh, day 47 of cycle, the king died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.160.
There was a solar eclipse February 22, 720 BC, on day 6 of cycle 60, year 58 of cycle 60, from January 26, 2636 BC.
The best answer to this eclipse on day 42 of cycle 60, is the Passover on the full moon on Thursday, March 27, 719 BC was on day 42 of cycle 60. There may have been darkness at noon in Israel as there was darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross. The sun darkened at noon = the sun darkened at sunset in the west on China.
February 4, 721 BC was the new moon and day 42 of cycle 60, but was not a solar eclipse. April 3, 721 BC was day 41 and the new moon because there was leap year February 29, 721 BC. The end of the second month day 42 of cycle 60, could have been April 4, 721 BC = darkness at noon in Israel like there was darkness when Jesus was on the cross April 3, 33 AD.
The solar eclipse of July 27, 718 BC was on day 51 of cycle 60. This was Hwang's 51st year. Perhaps the day and year were confused in this solar eclipse record.
There was a solar eclipse June 6, 716 BC, on day 11 of cycle 60, visible from China. But totality was south of China. 716 BC was a keatze year, year one of cycle sixty.
A sun miracle on the first day of the first month means the sun must move back half an orbit later on the tenth day of the seventh month. Then, this 721 BC would be a 50 year jubile to Jesus' speaking on this tenth day of the seventh month, on Yom Kippur, from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
However, the eclipse for 718 BC was supposed to be five days before emperor P'ing died on day 47, five days after day 42 the eclipse on the new moon. Ahaz must have died in 717 BC. There is a record there were only two hours of daylight when Ahaz died, in order to not leave time for Israel to mourn an evil King, and a second month of Adar added inorder to gain time to prepare for the Passover, that day Ahaz died be about the Passover = thus darkness the Chinese took as a solar eclipse this same 718 BC or 717 BC, that the Chinese took as an omen to replace their emperor.
The following are some suggested dates:
March 25, 719 BC, was the second Chinese month from February, and was day 42 of cycle 60. The full moon was March 27, 719 BC. Simply darkness at the Passover at noon like there was darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross = darkness at sunset in China = the Chinese recorded as a solar eclipse.
Ahaz may have died on the same date, March 25, 718 BC one year later, on day 47 of cycle 60, five days before the new moon, when the sun must return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Day 42 of cycle 60 may be March 20, 718 BC = four days after the full moon and Passover. If the Passover was Friday, March 20, 718 BC and darkness at noon, this may have been taken by the Chinese a solar eclipse on this day 42 of cycle 60.
Day 42 of cycle 60 may be May 19, 718 BC, the second month from April. The Passover of Hezekiah in his first year was in the 2nd month, possibly Friday, May 15, 718 BC or Saturday, May 16, 718 BC. Three days later is this Monday/Tuesday May 18/19, 718 BC = the third day = Jesus' resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. Hezekiah was healed on the third day, the third day of the week from Sunday, Tuesday, April 3, 703 BC.
Then, perhaps there was a sun miracle on the third day, like there would be for Jesus' resurrection on the third day - the sun may suddenly pass, suddenly rise, from noon in China to noon in Israel.
The new moon on day 47 of cycle 60, March 20, 717 BC was the new moon and was day 47 of cycle 60. Or the sun returned two years later, March 25, 717 BC also was the fifth day of the lunar month. Normally a solar eclipse means the end of the month. March 20, 717 BC was the new moon, but not a solar eclipse.
There were many Passovers with darkness at noon like there was darkness at noon when Jesus was crucified = darkness at sunset on China.
Simply, the sun may move March 25, 719 BC on day 42 of cycle 60, and return one year later on March 25, 718 BC on day 47 of cycle 60.
Thus, from day 42, day 47 should be the fifth day of a new month. One year after a sun miracle on day 42 March 25, 719 BC, is March 25, 718 BC day 47 of cycle 60. 365 days a year. In the 60 day cycle, one year later is 5 days more on the same date. Thus, the complete picture. Thus, both Ahaz and P'ing may have died the same day. The sun moving west from noon in China, dawn in Israel, and being darkened may have been recorded as this solar eclipse.
Day 42 of cycle 60 may be the new moon March 20, 717 BC. Thus, five days later be the fifth day of the month by day 47 of cycle 60. Hezekiah must reign from 717 BC, Hezekiah's sign be in his 14th year, 49 year jubile, the Passover, Sunday, March 31, 703 BC. Hezekiah was healed on the third day, the third day of the week, Tuesday, April 3, 703 BC. Jesus went to the cross April 3, 33 AD.
Hezekiah held the Passover, probably the full moon, April 3, 717 BC, in the second month to give time to prepare after the death of Ahaz.
2 Chronicles 30:15 "Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD."
This second month of the Passover may equal the second month, day 42 of cycle 60, and day 47 when King P'ing died.
Ahaz and King P'ing may have died at the same time.
2 Chronicles 30:2 "For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem."
Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD. There was no solar eclipse on a day 42. The sun may have been darkened at noon when the Passover was to occur, like the sun was darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross.
This darkness may describe the sun passing east west ten "degrees" = ten steps = 180° = ten hours, on Ahaz' sundial to give only two hours daylight. Thus, this darkness may have been the sign of Ahaz. Thus, Hezekiah in his 14th year, asked the sun to retreat ten steps rather than decline ten steps as it alread had done for his father Ahaz.
Ahaz may have died one year later on the same date, March 20, 717 BC, when Hezekiah became King of Judah.
Jeremiah 10:2 "Thus, saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them."
Matthew 16:2,3 are not included in the Codex Sinaiticus:
Matthew 16:1 "The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed."
However, the following verses in Luke are:
Luke 12:54 "And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
12:55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?"
Rain often comes with sun miracles, and warm south winds can come from a very hot sun rising.
The wind comes from the west in winter, the rainy season. The wind comes from the south east in summer from the Saudi desert.
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Some have suggested Jesus ate with his disciples Wednesday night and was crucified Thursday giving three whole days to Sunday morning.
Most likely the crucifixion was Friday and the three whole days was a sun miracle that Saturday was lengthened so that three whole days had passed by the Sunday resurrection morning.
This is three whole days of 3 X 24 = 72 hours, that is 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours, when Jesus was in the grave. Perhaps the sun rose in the west Friday night, the night of the crucifixion, then set in the east - and that reverse sun day was counted as a day of the week the seventh day. However, it would appear as if it was a reversed day because the sun rose in the west and set in the east.
Perhaps there was a long night that Friday night of April 3, 33 AD, that took 7 X 12 hours, or 7 X 180° = a plus 84 hours longer night.
Or there was a long twilight.
Or there was a long day Saturday, April 4, 33 AD.
The sun may rise in the west Saturday morning to set in the east. Then the sun may rise suddenly in the east after about three hours of darkness.
This long day/night could be like the long night of 8 nights long of the first Hanukkah.
There the sun set in the east on Israel and set in the east in China as well, December 13, 164 BC. Then the sun rose in the west Saturday morning and set in the east at the end of the Sabbath Saturday night.
Then at 9 PM beginning Sunday sunrise April 5, 33 AD, at the beginning of the second watch, the sun suddenly rose in the east. The Romans had four watches, the Israelites had three watches at night. This would make for three days and three nights of 24 hour days worth, 84 hours duration, and the crucifixion still be Friday and the resurrection Sunday before sunrise. This because the Sabbath was over at sunset and Sunday had already begun. "The evening and the morning were the first day".
Exodus 10:21 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
This three days of darkness maybe 3 X 24 hours. That is 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours longer, plus the same night of 12 hours = 8 X 12 hours = 96 hours of night. That the children of Israel had light in their dwellings may be like the miracle of Hanukkah when there was only oil for one night that miraculously lasted eight nights.
Or like the five wise virgins who had taken oil in their vessels.
The verse states they had light in their dwellings. Thus, it was dark outside and light inside.
People put into a chamber with no light, or sound etc, in about three days usually develop psychosis.
Zechariah 14:6 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be."
Zechariah 14:16 "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles."
The sun rising in the west could also mean the terms "former sea" and "hinder sea" may be also reversed.
Some of these verses in Zechariah 14 refer to Jesus' coming again. See Isaiah 28:17-22. At the time Zechariah wrote these verses, they may have occurred. This may be the twilight in 505 BC when the milky way was not visible in King King's 14th year from 518 BC.
Nehemiah 4:21 "So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
4:22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
4:23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing."
The building of the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC may be like the building of the temple in 505 BC till its completion on Adar three = the third lunar day of the 12th month, February 10, 504 BC. There may have been twilight at night time to enable building of the temple for 24 hours a day. Then the Milky Way would not be visible in the twilight.
Cyrus reigned from 559 BC to 530 BC; should be 13 years more recent; from 545 BC to 518 BC. Thus, there must have been a sun miracle in 518 BC at the death of Cyrus that the Chinese took as an omen for King King to be King.
This solar eclipse on the solar eclipse page 104 shows King King's 15th year from 518 BC = February 10, 504 BC and not the actual eclipse of February 16, 505 BC.
The sun miracle of February 10, 504 BC = that night may be twilight in China = a long day in Israel when the second temple was finished. There was also perhaps the same twilight in emperor Ch'aou's 14th year when the regular stars were not visible. Because of a missing 120 years of history it is hard to place Ch'aou's 14th year: 1094 BC to 974 BC.
The 17th day of the 7th Hebrew lunar month was September 20, 507 BC = 500 years before Jesus' birth = day 14 of cycle 60, the milky way did not appear in year 14 = 505 BC, 2 years later. There could be a parallel with Jesus' birth 500 years later, about the 17th day of the 7th month, September 13, 7 BC and the blood moon during a lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC.
Thus, a sun miracle in both Ch'ao's 14th year of twilight and King King's 14th year of twilight, why the regular stars did not appear and the Milky Way did not appear.
The sun is in the middle of the Milky Way in December 2000 AD. In 2000 BC the Milky Way was visible just above the sun in December. Thus, in 500 BC the Milky Way was still visible above the sun in December.
The Milky Way is always visible high in the sky in June, in summer. Thus, if the sun moved 180° in summer, the sun should be near the Milky Way in 500 BC and the sun appear 180° on the other side of the Milky Way.
If the sun moved after the spring equinox, earth's orbit should shift 2° per day after the spring equinox. Then again, the sun may appear in the 2000 AD position in the middle of the Milky Way. Thus, the Milky Way would not be visible when it normally would be visible.
This may have been to give the Israelites light at night to build and finish the second temple. Then a sun miracle in King King's 14th year in 504 BC the solar eclipse for day 48 of cycle 60 not in February 16, 505 BC but in February 10, 504 BC.
From Wu's last year 1168 BC to Muh 965 BC is 200 years plus 3. From Ch'aou's last year 1086 BC to Muh 965 BC is 120 years of no history recorded.
Wu's last year, his sixth year, in 1168 BC began Chih's first year. In the first month of spring, on day 7 of cycle 60, King Chih made an announcement. This should be March 7, 1168 BC, the 10th lunar day. the Passover lamb was to be taken into the house on the tenth day and sacrificed on the 14th day Passover. Or this day 7 of cycle 60 was the full moon, the Passover, Sunday March 2, 1167 BC. All the more reason to connect 1168 BC with Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. Thus, perhaps a sun miracles in 1168 BC, X68 BC = X100 years before Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD.
"Note: From king Woo to Muh, the empire was possessed 100 years."
From Wu to Muh must not be 100 years, but 200 years! From the death of Wu in 1168 BC to 968 BC, rather to 965 BC. From the last year of Ch'aou to the first year of Muh, from 1086 BC to 965 BC is 120 years = two cycles of sixty = the correct dates are used in the cycle of 60, only there is a gap of 60 years.
King Muh became emperor in 965 BC. King Heau became emperor in 869 BC. King P'ing became emperor in 769 BC. King Yew, 11th year = 769 BC, in the spring in the first month, the sun and moon had haloes.
This 770 BC was the fall of the Western Zhou period. "the sun and moon had haloes" may refer to a sun miracle so impressive the people slew the King and the King's son.
King P'ing became emperor in 769 BC. King Hwan became emperor in 718 BC (50 year jubile from 768 BC). King Chwang became emperor in 695 BC (50 year jubile to 645 BC = 38 years of Jesus' life to 607 BC even 100's to Jesus' birth in 7 BC).
Solar eclipse record for 645 BC = the death of King Manasah son of Hezekiah (38 years to 607 BC). King K'ing became emperor in 617 BC (50 year jubile to 568 BC). King Ching-Ting became emperor in 467 BC. King Heen became emperor in 367 BC. King Shin-Tsing became emperor in 319 BC, 50 year jubile to 268 BC, and 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Likewise from 1168 BC, 769 BC, 467 BC and 367 BC.
King Yin second year in 311 BC = 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD - the length of the sun's shadow lengthened by more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit.
Asa reigned from 984 BC. Therefore his 15th year as 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle that year to show God was pleased, that was an omen for China to change emperors.
2 Chronicles 16:12 "And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians."
Jesus must have lived 38 and a half years, that would equal "the thirty and ninth year of his reign" and be about 948 BC.
458 BC is 490 years before Jesus' sacrifice. 490 more years back is this 948 BC.
"In his 18th year, in the spring, in the 1st month, he dwelt in the palace of Che, where the princes came and did homage.
In his 21st year, duke Wan of Tse died."
The Chinese Classics, p.151
This 18th year from 965 BC is 948 BC. This 21st year is 945 BC. Thus, perhaps there was a sun miracle then that prompted the homage and the death of duke Wan.
948 BC is a 49th year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
15:13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
15:14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about."
"In his, emperor Muh, 21st year = 945 BC, (945 BC = 38 years to 907 BC) Duke Wan of Tse died.
"In his, emperor Muh, 24th year, (941 BC = 300 years from Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC), he ordered Jung-foo, the recorder of the Left, to make a Record (A history of the rise and fall of dynasties and States)"
The Chinese Classics, p.151
Jehoshaphat became King of Judah in 944 BC in the fourth year of Ahab. Ahab began to reign in 948 BC and died in 926 BC in Jehoshaphat's 17th year. Emperor Muh died in 906 BC in his 59th year. Muh's 21st year may be 944 BC = Jehoshaphat's first year, and his 24th year may be 941 BC = the fifty year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
Jehoshaphat reigned 25 years from 944 BC to 920 BC.
The fifty year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 was from 922 BC.
1 Kings 22:41 "And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
2 Kings 1:17 "So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son."
The second year of Jehoram should be 918 BC.
Muh's 21st year = 944 BC. 38 more years to 907 BC. The 50 year jubile, from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, would be three years later, in Muh's 24th year, 941 BC.
The time of war was usually in the autumn. The battle against Syria when Ahab died possibly was around the seventh month of 926 BC = the battle of emperor Muh in his 37th to 39th year from 965 BC.
"In his 45th year. Pe, prince of Loo, died" From 965 BC is 921 BC.
The 50 year jubile to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61:1 in Luke 4:18 was on the tenth day of the seventh month 922 BC in even 50's to Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
The battle of Saul in his second year must have been exactly on Yom Kippur 1122 BC, also in jubiles of 50's to Jesus speaking in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me..".
In Muh's 24th year, (941 BC) he ordered Jung-foo, the recorder of the Left, to make a record 13."
13 Note: "King Muh had come to himself, and was ashamed of his wars, wanderings and extravagance." 941 BC = 300 years from Joshua's long day,Thus, a sun miracle at that time may have been an omen.
"In his (King Muh) 18th year, in the spring, in the first month, he dwelt in the palace of Che, where the princes came and did homage."
From 965 BC Muh's 18th year is 948 BC the first year of King Ahab.
Ahab reigned 22 years from 948 BC to 926 BC. The famine of Israel may be from his first year in 948 BC.
1 Kings 18:37 "Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again."
Thus, symbolically, God may move the sun back again three and a half years later, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun = "that thou hast turned their heart back again."
1 Kings 18:39 "And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God."
Three and a half years later may be 945 BC.
Sun miracles often occurred in years ending in X45 BC = 38 years to X07 BC.
"In his 35th year, the people of King entered Seu, when Ts'een, baron of Maou, led his forces, and defeated them near the Tse."
Maou is Taurus, Ts'een is Sagittarius 180° away. This sentence may describe the sun moving from Taurus to Sagittarius. This 35th year of Muh should be 931 BC.
"The people of King, Muh, came with tribute. In his 39th year, he assembled the princes at mount T'oo."
This 38th and 39th year would be three and a half years from his 35th year. The sun may move at the end of the three and a half year famine and be the omen motivating the tribute. These years, probably based on sun miracles, equal Jesus' three and a half year ministry and Jesus' 38 years of a perfect life.
Jesus lived 38.5 years = King Muh's 39th year.
This 39th year from 965 BC should be 926 BC = the death of Ahab.
Sun miracles often occurred on a year X68 BC = 100 year intervals to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD and X07 = 100 year intervals to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus, there could be sun miracles in 968 BC that prompted a change of emperors in 965 BC, and a sun miracle in 907 BC that prompted a change of emperors in 906 BC. There is no year zero.
Likewise, King K'ang died in 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Romans 5:10 "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
Thus, we are saved by the 38 years of Jesus' life.
King K'ang died in the ninth month, day 56 of cycle 60 in his 26th year.
King Ching reigned 37 years from 1168 BC. 1168 BC + 32 years = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From 1168 BC 37 years = the 37 years of Jesus' life.
Emperor Wu reigned six years from 1174 BC to his sixth year in 1168 BC.
King K'ang reigned to his 26th year.
From 1132 BC - 26 years = 1107 BC = 1100 years before Christ in 7 BC.
King K'ang's 12th year was 1122 BC, perhaps a sun miracle on the sixth month day 9 of cycle 60, September 4, 1122 BC = Yom Kippur, the day Israel was in battle, and Saul declared a fast because it was Yom Kippur, and probably the same day was a sun miracle and so was observed in China. Thus, Yom Kippur September 4, 1122 BC points to Yom Kippur Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or Friday, October 7, 29 AD, in Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 when Jesus in Spirit, fulfilled scripture.
King K'ang's 26th year must have been 1108 BC. Then the day he died, may have been a sun miracle, on day 56 of cycle 60 in the ninth month should be the 17th lunar day October 7, 1108 BC pointing to Jesus' birth, 1100 years later, perhaps the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
James Legge has a misprint for King K'ang's 24th year, instead 44th year, when the Chinese states 24th year. From Wu to Muh to be 100 years, King K'ang would have to reign 46 years. Ching 36, Kang 46, Ch'aou 19th = 100. Thus, the misprint may have been an effort to make the 100 years from Wu to Muh.
In Wu's 12th year from his father king Wan's death in 1186 BC, to his victory in 1174 BC when Wu became emperor over all China. Thus, Wu's first year was 12 years earlier, in 1186 BC.
Wu began to win battles in about 1179 BC.
In the Short chronology, Wu's first year would be 12 years before he became emperor in 1049 BC, = 1061 BC. Thus, 100 years later is 961 BC is year 56 of 60 of emperor Muh. Both are wrong.
Wu's first year as emperor over all China was in 1174 BC to his sixth year, the twelfth year from his father king Wan's death in 1186 BC, is in 1174 BC, the 24th year from his father king Wan's death is 1162 BC.
"In his 14th year, (Ch'aou) in the summer, in the fourth month, the regular stars were invisible. In the autumn, in the seventh month, the people of Loo killed their ruler Tsae."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.149.
This could be a sun miracle in 1092 BC (1168 BC - 36 - 26 - 14), a 50 year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC. David born in 1115 BC would be 23 in this 1092 BC. This was about the time David slew Goliath.
If the regular stars are not visible in China, the sun must stand still at noon Israel, at sunset in China. Thus, this be a long day - the sun stand still at noon, like for Joshua.
15 years later David became king of Israel in 1077 BC.
There may be two battles, two sun miracles, six months, or a year apart, at noon at Gibeon like Joshua's long day for David to get the victory.
This battle of David must have been in the seventh month, about September of 1077 BC. Because the battle when David became King of Israel was six and a half a years after David became king of Judah:
2 Samuel 5:5 "In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah."
2 Samuel 5:17 "But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
5:18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
5:19 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
5:20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
5:21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
5:22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
5:23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
5:24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
5:25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer."

1 Samuel 31:10 "And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth:H6252 and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan."

The valley of Rephaim is where Gibeon is, where also Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still in Joshua 10:12.
Isaiah 28:18 "And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
28:20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
28:21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth."
These verses "for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night:" may refer to earth in a reverse orbit.
You may see the same verses in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint. Isaiah connects the day of Judgment when Jesus comes again with Joshua's Long Day: Dead Sea Scroll words in bold.
Isaiah 28:19 "From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night sheer terror: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
28:20 For the bed is shorter for people to stretch themselves on it: and the covering to wrap themselves in it.

28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bonds be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined of the whole earth."
H2114 זוּר zûr zoor A primitive root; to turn aside (especially for lodging); hence to be a foreigner, strange, profane; specifically (active participle) to commit adultery: - (come from) another (man, place), fanner, go away, (e-) strange (-r, thing, woman). Total KJV occurrences: 77
H5237 נָכְרִי nokrı̂y nok-ree' From H5235 (second form); strange, in a variety of degrees and applications (foreign, non-relative, adulterous, different, wonderful): - alien, foreigner, outlandish, strange (-r, woman). Total KJV occurrences: 46
Ends with the letter "He", perhaps a question. The letter "He" is a question mark = ?
That is, Isaiah may have thought sun miracles to be strange. Isaiah was the one who asked Hezekiah if the sun's shadow should go forward ten steps or backward ten steps. Then he was the one who prayed the sun's shadow should go backward ten steps. He may have understood sun miracles meant the sun moved to the other side of earth. Thus, the word strange meaning to turn aside. Even this may be a prophecy of a sun miracle when Jesus returns.
The Septuagint:
Isaiah 28:21b "he shall perform his works with wrath, even a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange."
This word in verse 21 has a root meaning to turn over, perhaps meaning that God would move the sun over to the other side of the earth.
The word for bitterness.
Here you can see the comparison in Hebrew and Greek:
The Valley of Gibeon refers to the head waters of Gibeon down the valley of Ajalon. This was the site of the battle and sun miracle of David against the Philistines soon after he became king of Israel 1076 BC.
Comet Halley has an orbit of 76 years. Back from earliest records in Greece 467 BC is 1151 BC at the phoenixes = sun miracle, in King Ching's 18th year from 1168 BC. This may be Jephthah's victory, not 300 years from Moses in 1242 BC, but 90 years = 3 X 30 years = 1151 BC = also 76 years orbits back from 467 BC. King Ching-Ting began his reign probably also on a sun miracle and the appearing of comet Halley in the spring of 467 BC = 500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
1 Kings 8:59 "And let theseH428 my words,H1697 wherewithH834 I have made supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 the LORD,H3068 beH1961 nighH7138 untoH413 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and night,H3915 that he maintainH6213 the causeH4941 of his servant,H5650 and the causeH4941 of his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 at all times,H3117 as the matterH1697 shall require:H3117"
The last few words of this verse are:
1 Kings 8:59 "And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all days, as the matter days."
"Israel at all days, as the matter days" may refer to sun miracles of longer days as required. Even this day may be the feast of tabernacles and a sun miracle on the date, 17th of the seventh month, that Jesus would be born, that brought sudden darkness to China and perhaps light to Israel.
The first temple was begun in April / May of 1041 BC = 200 years after Joshua's conquest and Joshua's long day. 240 years, not 480 years, after the Exodus.
2 Chronicles 3:2 "And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign."
This should be April 3, 1041 BC = Monday = the second day of the week = the second day of the second month = Jesus' sacrfice April 3, 33 AD.
The first Passover was at the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC = the 14 day moon.
Then the counting of the Passover from the new moon Saturday / Sunday March 4 / 5, 1241 BC and Passover, Friday, March 17, 1041 BC and second month April 3, 1041 BC:
Seven and a half years, orbits, later is the eighth month, October 7, 1034 BC and the new moon October 8, 1034 BC. October means eight.
Likewise, Jesus may have began his ministry of three and a half years October 7, 29 AD to his sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Solomon became King in 1044 BC, possibly when King Muh in his 24th year from 1068 BC sent Jung-foo to make a record of the rise and fall of the previous dynasties.
Most probably though, King Muh reigned from 965 BC instead, there being an 120 year gap in Chinese chronology.
China spent one million dollars to correct their ancient chronology in 2008 at the time of the Olympics. Here you can see the corrections China missed.
Many of these Kings rose and fell when there was a sun miracle.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle in Solomon's first year in 1044 BC.
This second month the temple building was begun should be Monday = the second day of the week and lunar month, April 3, 1041 BC. Thus, the temple of Jesus' body began to be built the same April 3, 33 AD that Jesus was crucified. The second Hebrew day of the second lunar month from the moon's first appearance Sunday, April 2, 1041 BC.
Thus, April 3, 1041 BC was on the Chinese day 40 of cycle 60. 450 years later, September 7, 591 BC, also on day 40 of cycle 60, there was recorded an eclipse when there was no naturally occurring eclipse. Thus, perhaps the sun miracle of darkness at the fall of Jerusalem and the captivity on day 40 to the Chinese was an omen. Thus, the Chinese recorded the day 40 in the sixth month of 591 BC, perhaps because of a sun miracle on day 40 1041 BC.
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
1 Kings 7:1 "But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."
1 Kings 8:2 "And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
8:3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark."
Thus, the temple was dedicated in the seventh month, the same month Jesus was born. The same month Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 on Yom Kippur in Luke 4 to fulfill the 50 year jubile and begin his three and a half year ministry.
Then a sun miracle in King King's first year 518 BC be when after two years work on the temple ceased. Then work on the second temple resumed in 507 BC. Then in 505 BC there was twilight in King King's 14th year perhaps so that the Israelites could work day and night and thus finish the second temple in the third day of Adar in 504 BC.
This verse in Zechariah 14:6 could describe Saturday night, April 4, 33 AD, when the sun had just set in the east at 6 PM and by 8 PM the sun had brightened for the resurrection sunrise. Thus, that night may have not completely darkened and was joined by the day, Sunday. The Holy Spirit then was given that Sunday. At twilight at sunset in Israel the sun is just rising between these mountains. The Okanagan is 10 hours behind Israel. Thus, the setting sun on Israel is rising on the Okanagan and may have been depicted here.
The red sun standing still at sunrise and moving to the winter sunrise position and back to the summer sunrise position as it travelled in a straight line around the earth for 24 hours.
The sun would appear in British Columbia to move from the August 15, 32 AD, as per Chu Suk in Korea, position in the north east to the winter position in the south east and back two and a half times. The Aztecs in Historia general de las cosas de Nueva Espana, BK. VII, Chapter 2: "And when the sun came to rise, when he burst forth, he appeared to be red; he kept swaying from side to side."
This August 15, 32 AD would be about the 17th lunar day about the birthday of Jesus.
Some sun miracles the sun may stand still in the sky for 5 X 12 hours = 60 hours. That is 5 is an odd number = the sun on the other side of the earth.
There is a possibility there was a sun miracle then.
Joshua's long day may have been the 21st day of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC = the last day of the feast of tabernacles.
The sun would move sideways from the summer sunrise position to the winter sunrise position three times in a 60 hour twilight day.
The sun may appear in the Okanagan Valley as in this pictograph:
Natives depict the ceiling of the sky, the full moon, and the sun.
There was a search of Native American legends of the sun standing still, about the 1950's. Twenty legends of the sun standing still in North America were found.
"Every day for four days the world grew and the sun rose higher into the sky until, on the fifth day, the sun of the fifth world was at its highest point but it stood still. 'Now it is so hot everything will be burned as quickly as it growns,' the people protested. 'We must have a sacrifice for the sun,' a wise man decreed and the wife of one of the chiefs was prepared as an offering. When the last breath and drop of blood had left her body, the sun began again to move in its orbit."
Indian Masks and Myths of the West. Creation and the beginning of light. p.51
Likewise, when the sun set in the east the Sabbath Jesus was in the grave, the sun should pass three hours further east to give darkness = the evening and the morning were the first day. Then in the Okanagan, the sun would appear to rise a little in the west, before the sun suddenly and brilliantly moved 180° west for the resurrection sunrise.
The last day of the feast of tabernacles Saturday September 14, 32 AD is called the great day of the feast, the 22nd of the lunar month. Jesus may have spoke from Isaiah 55:1 August 16, 32 AD or September 14, 32 AD.
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
Joshua's long day in the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, August 10, 1241 BC the year of both the 49 year jubile and the 50 year jubile. This same August 25, 507 BC or September 24, 507 BC; was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice and 10 X 50 years, 500 years, to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Isaiah 55:1 "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
A few verses previous is:
Isaiah 54:11 "O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
54:12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones."
Isaiah 54:12 "I shall make thy Suns rubies"
"And I will make rubies of thy battlements"
The actual word used for battlements is really the plural of sun.
"And I will make rubies of thy suns."
"Its interpretation concerns the twelve [chiefs of the priests who] illuminate with the judgment of the Urim and the Thumimm [without] any of them missing. Like the sun in all its might."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, Volume 1, p.327.
- Which may be misinterpreted in the King James "I shall make thy windows agates". The sun standing still in the sky may have been red like a ruby to leave the same daily coral line. Then also, the night Jesus was crucified, April 3, 33 AD, the moon was like blood may have been from the sun standing still on the other side of the earth like a ruby reflected in the moon. The lunar eclipse April 3, 33 AD was partial with no colour. Thus, the claim the blood moon of Joel was a naturally occurring lunar eclipse is false.
Joel 2:31 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come."
The moon reflects the light of the sun. Thus, if the sun changed its colour to red from yellow the full moon would reflect a blood moon. If the colour of the sun was changed the sun probably was moved with earth's rotation to produce a long night as well.
Perhaps the sun rose in the west Saturday, April 4, 33 AD and set in the east before rising at the third hour of the night in the east, suddenly and brilliantly on the resurrection morning. Moreover, the next line of Isaiah 54:12 "I will make thy gates carbuncles". Carbuncle when held up to the sun loses its deep tinge and looks exactly like burning coal. Jesus was in the temple, like the heavenly temple in Isaiah 54:12, when he spoke these words. The flaming and sparkling gem may be Jesus the light of life.
Leviticus 23:36 "Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."
Perhaps August 16, 32 AD:
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet."
Judges 5:19 "Kings came; they fought; then the kings of Canaan fought in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, they took no gain of silver.
5:20 The stars fought from the heavens; from their courses they fought with Sisera. The Kishon river swept them away,"
Joshua 11:5 "And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel."
The waters of Megiddo and the waters of Merom may be the same place and the same battle. Merom means waters plural = Hebrew word ending in m. There are two lakes north of mount Carmel. The waters may have rippled while the sun revolved around the earth, from a slight tremor or earthquake.
Habakkuk 1:5 "Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you."
Habakkuk 3:8 "Did Jehovah burn against rivers? was your anger against the rivers? Was your furry against the sea? For you ride on horses; your chariots of Salvation.
3:9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
3:10 They saw you; mountains trembled. The storm of water passed over. The deep gave its voice and lifted up his hands on high.
3:11 The sun and moon stood still in their dwelling. At the light of your arrows they go, at the shining of thy gleaming spear."
The sun moved at Emperor Wu's spear in 1174 BC, and rose in the west at Lu Yang's spear. The sun rose in the west up to the meridian for Lu Yang, possibly 458 BC when the altar was cleansed and the wall around Jerusalem complete, or on Purim of Esther on Adar 13, Thursday, January 27, 464 BC or Sunday, February 26, 464 BC.
The real reason for moving the sun in 1174 BC and 464 BC was for God's people in Israel.
The sun moved, to stay at the noon position while earth rotated, for Joshua's spear about August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
Habakkuk 3:11 "At the light of your arrows they (the sun and the moon) go" Joshua may have understood night and day are a result of earth's rotation. Then Joshua would understand for the sun to stand still in the sky, God must move the sun around the earth near the speed of light, 1/30th the speed of light.
Then 24 hours later the sun would move from the noon position to set in the east in six hours. The sun would move 1/15 th the speed of light. Then the sun would be travelling east against Joshua's arrows to the west down Bethoron and to Makkedah. Joshua's spear would glitter in the noon sun light. How much more so from the blood of the enemy Joshua fought that day? The blood may also speak of Jesus' sacrifice. The sun and moon standing still in the sky the Israelites knew were actually moving with earth's rotation.
Thus, the word "go" when they were standing still in the sky. The sun must travel one thirtieth the speed of light to appear to stand still in the sky. Thus, the sun's movement was like lightning, gleaming while it stood still in the sky.
John 19:33 "But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."
Joshua and Gideon, fought on the same day, Joshua's long day, either August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC. Barak and Deborah fought on the same day as Joshua at the battle of Merom, February 5, 1239 BC.
Perhaps these verses in the New Testament are on the same day:
John 8:12 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
John 7:51 is followed immediately by John 8:12 in the Codex Sinaiticus.
John 9:1 "And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
9:3 "Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
John 9:7 "And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing."
The blind man would see his reflection in the water for the first time. He may have seen the water ripple while the sun revolved around the earth.
There are few records of sun miracles in the Gospels. We just don't know enough.
A town in Estonia hundreds of years ago, employed a man under the gate of the city to have a candle always burning, and himself stare at a bowl of water. If the water showed a ripple as from an approaching army, he was to come up and warn the town of an attack. Eventually the town became part of the country side, so this defense was no longer necessary.
John 7 - 9 may have been a long day.
The parallel may be Joshua's long day in Joshua 10:12. Jesus is really the Hebrew name Joshua, meaning Salvation.
A sun miracle on the first day of the first month March 6, 29 AD can be followed by a sun miracle on Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, the 10th day of the 7th month = half an orbit of 186 days = 25 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 +8.
A sun miracle on the beginning of Jesus' ministry, Friday, October 7, 29 AD may be followed by a sun miracle half an orbit later, on the Passover, Friday, April 7, 30 AD.
A sun miracle on the 14th day, Passover, 186 days later is the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the 22nd day of the 7th month.
The sun may be moved on these half orbit dates:
The first sun miracle Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD, followed by the Passover April 7, 30 AD.
The next sun miracle the last day of the feast of tabernacles, on this the 22nd day moon, October 7, 30 AD, followed by a sun miracle the 25th day moon, April 7, 31 AD.
The next sun miracle the new moon, October 7, 31 AD, followed by a sun miracle followed by a sun miracle on the 7th day of the first month, April 7, 32 AD.
The next sun miracle the full moon, October 7, 32 AD = the first day of tabernacles, followed by a sun miracle on the Passover, Jesus' crucifixion, April 3, 33 AD.
Perhaps there were just two sun miracles: October 7, 29 AD a long day of 7 X 12 hours, and April 4, 33 AD a long day / night of 7 X 12 hours.
The Koreans have a festival Chu Suk meaning big center from a book written in 32 AD by Kim Bu Sik. It is a festival of the night that lasts three days that falls about this August 15 The Big Middle of the year.
The last quarter moon would be rising in China after sunset on Israel. This is a festival of the moon at night and this would be midnight in China. The moon would look blood red from China. The Chinese counted the days after the solstices and before the equinoxes. Also, August 15 cannot be mistaken because it is about the center of the Chinese year. We use the same Gregorian calendar from 1 AD on. So the Chinese matched their calendar with ours.
The date is exact to 32 AD. Perhaps the 72 hours: = 5 X 12 hours = 60 hours long day or long night and 12 hours when the sun returned one and a half years later.
The long night was written down at the time August 16, 32 AD by this Kim Bu Sik.
84 hours of longer night is this same three whole days = 3 X 24 hours + 12 hours. 84 hours is the same as 7 X 12 hours = 3.5 days.
The sun may move to the other side of earth on odd numbers times 12.
The date for Chu Suk helps.
Isaiah 60:19 "The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."
Perhaps the same day - possibly Saturday, August 16, 32 AD as recorded. Actually the 15th date must really be the 15th day of the moon = full moon. In 32 AD this was August 9:
Thus, this was 186 days from the first day of Chinese spring = the half = the middle of the Chinse calendar. Chinese spring was 45 days before the Vernal Equinox, March 22 Gregorian. Thus, 22+ 23 = 45, February 5, 32 AD; 186 days later is the full moon August 9, 32 AD.
John 10:21 "Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?"
Earth must complete 360° in reverse in 363 days instead of 365 days because earth's reverse orbit is sped up 48 hours.
There would need to be a sun miracle also at the lunar eclipse at sunset on October 7, 32 AD, perhaps a sunset followed by a sunrise.
Then the sun must stand still:
For 36 hours = 3 X 12, or 60 hours = 5 X 12, or 84 hours = 7 X 12, that Friday night, perhaps at the lunar eclipse after sunset April 3, 33 AD 179 days later = exactly half an orbit later.
Or one and half orbits later. A full year and a half = 48 hours + 24 hours = 72 hours of sped up orbit that equals 72 hours of longer days.
Two reverse orbit years = 2 X 48 hours sped up earth = 96 hours = a 12 hour longer day April 3, 31 AD and a 84 hour longer day/night April 3, 33 AD. 12 + 84 = 96 hours.
Then there would need to be a sun miracle on the fifteenth day of Kislew the lunar month at the lunar eclipse October 7, 32 AD and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun to April 3, 33 AD and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Perhaps Wednesday October 8, 32 AD, after the sun had set, the sun rose in the east at sevenfold brightness immediately. The brightness with the sun at sevenfold at sunrise October 8, 32 AD, best I can determine, may have blinded some if they stared at the brightened sun. However, his disciples were looking to Jesus not the sun.
About 10 days later would be the dedication of the temple, Kislew 25, October 18, 32 AD. However, the days from the dedication may have been from November 29, 31 AD. In the Syrian church the name Kislew applied to the third and fourth month. Thus, the Jews may have celebrated the dedication of the temple in the fourth month. The first month is the same as the seventh month. Thus, there would be 490 days from the dedication of the temple in the second month of Kislew November 29, 31 AD to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
See E. J. Brill's first encyclopedia of Islam 1913-1936, p.727.
John 10:22 "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
Jesus was at the temple on the 25 day of Kislew, Saturday, October 18, 32 AD, There may have been a sun miracle 10 days before, Wednesday, October 8, 32 AD.
The temple was rededicated Saturday, December 12, 164 BC. The day in December 164 BC the sun perhaps never rose but retreated from the predawn position on Israel to night position for 7 X 12 hours plus there had already been 12 hours of night.
Thus, the eight nights of Hanukkah. Then the sun would return to the meridian in China, 7 X 12 hours later, twice that day.
On the same day Saturday December 12, 164 BC: After the sun had returned to the meridian once, Hsin-yuan P'ing told the emperor, "I expected the sun to rise to the meridian twice [in one day.]" After a while the sun really rose to the meridian again. For this reason the emperor changed his 17th year to his first year. 164 BC was a 49th year jubile; from 1241 BC to 33 AD. Thus, 4 X 49 back from 33 AD, no year zero, is 164 BC = Hanukkah.
The emperor's first year in 180 BC may have begun at the omen of a sun miracle. The new moon November 15, 180 BC to the third month ending May 12, 179 BC = 178 days = half an orbit = the possible dates of sun miracles:
"The August Emperor Wen the Filial reigned from 180 BC - 157 BC."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.145.
Emperor Wen's reign from 180 BC was 17 years to 164 BC, then was 7 years to 157 BC. Then were sun miracles of 7 years intervals recorded in China: 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC.
"On the hsin-hsu day of the tenth month of the year of the first year of emperor Wen the Filial (15 November 180 BC), Liu Tse, the previous King of Lang-ya, was transferred to be enthroned as King of Yen."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.154.
"In the third month (12 April - 10 May 179 BC), the authorities concerned begged the emperor to install an empress."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.159.
Jesus must be born September 12, 7 BC. Then 280 days earlier Jesus must be conceived by the Holy Ghost is about December 6, or December 12, 8 BC.
The temple was rededicated exactly three years after it was desecrated. Thus, the sun may move December 12, 167 BC and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, and move back again three years to the day December 12, 164 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Three and a half years earlier, a half orbit of 184 days earlier, was the full moon Sunday June 11, 167 BC.
"In the summer of the thirteenth year, 167 BC, the soverign said, We have heard that according to the way of Heaven..In the fifth month, 29 May-26 June 167 BC"
The Grand Scribe's Records, Vol II, p.170.
From the 21st day of the third or fourth month, June 19, 167 BC to December 12, 164 BC are three and a half years.
"during the western Han, it became the custom for emperors to restart their count of regnal years more than once in their reign, often to mark auspicious events. Thus for instance, the 'Sweet Dew' Ganlu reign period of Xuandi (reigned 74 - 48 BC) occupied the four years from 53 BC to 50 BC inclusive, and so 51 BC was refered to as the 3rd year of the Ganlu period of Xuandi."
The Foundation of Celestial Reckoning, p.20.
There was a total eclipse in China May 9, 54 BC that may have been the auspicious event. Also, this was near the time Jesus would be born in 7 BC.
"At the night before the battle, of Pydna, there was a lunar eclipse, which was perceived by the Macedonians as an ill omen; according to Plutarch, they interpreted it as a sign of their king's demise"
Battle of Pydna, Wikipedia
Thus, the lunar eclipse record of June 21, 168 BC, may have been a sun miracle recorded in China:
The sun and moon may move to the other side of earth in May - June of 168 BC and move back this Chinese record "according to the way of Heaven" May - June 167 BC. May is usually the month of Pentecost.
There may have been a sun miracle, Friday, March 25, 168 BC to foretell Jesus' crucifixion, Friday, April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the obsession with the way of Heaven in the following years, and months.
Notes: "From the context of the sentence, we find that before the first ta li a yellow dragon appeared, and there was accordingly a harvest, and before the second ta li, Hsin Yuan-p'ing numerated various auspicious signs and suggested to the emperor that he should sacrifice to the Supreme Deity so to act in accord with these signs."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, Wen the Felial, Basic Annals 10, p.175 - p.176
For the sun to return back on Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC, after three and a half years; the sun may have moved four years previous to the day, December 12, 168 BC = the 10th lunar day of the 10th month.
From the Book 44 of Livy says: [Note that Paullus was consul in 168 BC]
"At the beginning of the following year, Lucius Aemilius Paullus and Caius Licinius, the consuls, having commenced their administration on the ides of March, the senators were impatient to hear what propositions were to be laid before them, particularly with respect to Macedonia, by the consul to whose lot that province had fallen....
When the camp had been thoroughly fortified, Caius Sulpicius Gallus, a military tribune of the second legion, who had been praetor the year before, with the consul's permission collected the soldiers in assembly, and gave them notice, lest they should any of them consider the matter as a prodigy, that,"on the following night, the moon would be eclipsed, from the second hour to the fourth." [6] He mentioned that,"as this happened in the course of nature, at stated times, it could be known, and foretold.
[7] As, therefore, they did not wonder at the regular rising and setting of the sun and moon, or at the moon's sometimes shining with a full orb, and sometimes in its wane, showing only small horns, so neither ought they to construe as a portent, its being obscured when covered with the shadow of the earth." [8] When on the night preceding the day before the nones of September, at the hour mentioned, the eclipse took place, the Roman soldiers thought the wisdom of Gallus almost divine; but the Macedonians were shocked, as at a dismal prodigy, foreboding the fall of their kingdom and the ruin of their nation; nor did their soothsayers explain it otherwise."
The Ides of March in 168 BC should be the Passover, Friday, March 25, 168 BC = the same day of the sun miracle recorded in China.
The Nones of September should be half an orbit later when the sun may return. 189 days later is October 1 about the new moon, the 4th day before the Nones.
This 164 BC was a jubile in the 49 year cycle from 1241 BC. From 1242 subtract 49 year cycles till you come to 164 BC.
A coin minted possibly in 163 BC has the image of a reversed year, perhaps indicating a reverse orbit in 163 BC: "Turning to Svoronos 1486, the formula on this coin is not given as LLG (year 33), as one would expect. Instead it is written as the mirror image of A-GLG, i.e. there is no year sign (L), but two reversed gammas, one of which must be understood to represent an inversion of the year sign." Derived label is "Ptolemy VI Philometer, 181/0-145 B.C."
"But in the west a star will shine which they call 'cometes', a sign to mortals of sword, famine, death, destruction of leaders and of great illustrious men." Cometography: a catalog of comets By Gary W. Kronk, p.9. This was written about 163 BC. The sign may have been the glory of God accompanying the sun miracle at the beginning of 163 BC, December 12, 164 BC.
The sun may have set in the east then rose in the west to appear in the meridian, noon, position. Thus, the sun rose to the meridian again. Then in Israel, the sun would not rise, then rise in the west and set in the east. Then perhaps the sun suddenly ascended from the east brilliantly like the resurrection morning. That next day being Sunday December 13, 164 BC.
The emperor was given a jade bird holding a red pearl in its beak. This was a depiction of the phoenix angel carrying the red pearl, the sun, in its beak as it travelled with it to the other side of the earth.
Red or pink pearls were very rare and only the emperor was allowed to wear the pearl. I saw this depiction of the dragon chasing the sun pearl in the Jade Factory in Beijing. You can see the depiction of the sun pearl in the center and dragons and phoenixes chasing it from the temple of heaven at Beijing.
Also at the temple of heaven there were dozens of phoenixes surrounding it with their beaks open, round as if to carry the sun. Likewise dragons. When there was an eclipse the Chinese wrote the dragon ate the sun. Perhaps there were other times when the dragon did eat the sun, moved the sun suddenly to the speed of light = time on the sun stopped and was dark, and carried it to the other side of earth.
"Adoration of Ra on the day of the month whereon he saileth in the boat. Homage to thee within his boat, rising, twice, shining with rays..making to rejoice mankind for millions of years according to his will, giving his face to the hamemet, Khepera within the boat."
The Egyptian Book of the Dead, p.143. by E.A. Wallis Budge.
The sun rising twice and shining with rays may be a short day sun miracle. The sun must brighten several times to leave the same daily coral line.
"The great work of Tung Tso-Pin on the astronomy and calendrical science of the oracle-bones has shown that the incriptions contain records to the number 548; one such text is datable accurately as of 1210 BC. This has much significance since 1 1/2 X 365.25 is 547.875; the meaning therefore is that 'the summer solstice recurs at 548 days after the winter solstice'."
One and a half orbits from Joshua's long day on Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC to king Wan's dream Friday, February 5, 1239 BC are 545 days - is about this 548 days.
"It can hardly be doubted, therefore, that the Shang people in the - 13th and - 14th centuries were using gnomons to determine the solstices, in the traditional calendar handed down as the 'Old Quarter-Remainder Calendar'. Obviously regular and long-continuing observations were made, covering at least four tropic years, the shortest space of time the in which the day-count could come to a whole number."
Science and Civlilization in China, Joseph Needham Volume III, Astronomy, p.293.
The 548 days from solstice to solstice = 1.5 years, was often cited as there being no missing days at the time of Joshua's long day = missing day = lost day.
Likewise, in four years the remainder of a quarter day, 365.25 days is counted 1461 whole days.
The counting of cycles of 60 from the new moon, January 26, 2636 BC, continued to the present time dating every solar and lunar eclipse.
There need not be any missing days because of Joshua's long day.
That is, there are no missing days and Joshua's long day is hidden.
This 14h century BC of the oracle bones of Wuding would appear in his 1393 BC - 1343 BC. The chronology is missing 120 years, so 1393 BC not 1273 BC. Thus, this record of 548 days, from the 14th century BC would be from 1370 BC. Pharaoh Seti I may have reigned from 1370 BC, 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus a possible sun miracle that year in 1368 BC.
"When rebellions or famine occurred, it was often concluded that something was wrong with the calendar, and the mathmaticians were asked to reconstuct it."
Science and Civlilization in China, Joseph Needham Volume III, p.152.
Thus, sun miracles may cause famine and may lead to an omen for rebellion.
In the the Huai Nan Tzu, 120 BC, we find:
"In ancient times Kung Kung strove with Chuan Hsu for the Empire.
Angered, he smote the Unrotating Mountan,
Heaven's pillars broke, the bonds with Earth were ruptured,
Heaven leaned over to the north-west (thien chhing hsi pei)
Hence the sun, moon, stars and planets were shifted,
And earth became empty in the south-east."
Science and Civlilization in China, Joseph Needham Volume III, Astronomy, p.214
"In his (Wuding) 25th year, his son Heaou-e died in a wilderness"
The Chinese Classics, p.136.
Wuding's 25th year from 1393 BC = 1368 BC. There may have been a sun miracle in 1368 BC that may have been a omen to assassinate Heaou-e and Pharaoh Rameses I = the first year of Pharaoh Seti I in Egypt.
From the summer solstice June 20, 2020 to the winter solstice December 21, 2021 is 549 days, or rounded to this same 548 days.
That is, 365.24 days + 182.6 days (182.5 + .12) = 547.9 days = 548 days.
Likewise the 182 days to the seventeenth day of the seventh month, and 182 days to the first month = 364 days.
Secrets of Enoch, Chapter XLVIII, p.64Joseph Needham tried to prove all days are accounted for, 365 + 183; and not 365 + 182; and thus all days are accounted for.
Even so, this model of Joshua's day of 24 hours includes all 365 days a year, or 548 days a year and a half.
From Joshua's long day Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC to king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC are this one and a half years = 544 days.
From winter solstice one and a half years to summer solstice = 548 days.
This model leaves no net missing time and no missing days of the calendar. We know this because of the total solar eclipse in China on day 53 of cycle 60, March 4, 1250 BC. Thus, the cycle was unbroken. Thus, the missing day in the Missing Day Story was not missing. Only, there was missing time in the sped up reverse orbit till the end of the year. Joshua's long day counted as a day.
Even though the sun must have rose in the west that day, then a 24 hour day at noon, and the sun set in the east, this day was counted and not missing as best as I can determine.
Yet earth was not in orbit of the sun that day, the sun revolved around the earth that day, so there may be a way in science to detect such a day and call it missing. Certainly the 24 hours of sped up earth for that half reverse orbit was missing till the long days that left no net missing time.
Probably there was an Adar II added the year Jesus went to the cross. Thus, the Passover was Friday, April 3, 33 AD, not Thursday, March 5, 33 AD.
Just before the hour of darkness at the crucifixion and the 72 hour long night:
John 12:35 "Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them."
An example of how half orbits work may be seen in the 179 days between a lunar eclipse on the first day of the feast of tabernacles and the following Passover. Two of these half orbits adds up to about one hour of net missing time. There were lunar eclipses October 19, 31 AD and April 14, 32 AD, October 7, 32 AD and April 3, 33 AD. It takes the sun 52 minutes to revolve around the earth at the speed of light.
The sun would become dark. If it took one hour, the sun would travel at 80% of the speed of light and there would be a 60% time difference = 60% dimmer. I saw a 40% solar eclipse July 10, 6 PM, 2002. There was absolutely no discernable dimming of the sky. I looked through a solar filter and saw the moon cover part of the sun - about 40% of the sun - do not look directly at the sun.
Likewise, at the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The sun was 85% covered by the moon in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Yet there was no discernable change in the light from the sun. Only, the temperature dropped a few degrees celsius.
Thus, the sun would have to be moved at 100% of the speed of light to be in total darkness.
The day light seemed 100% normal. 30 minutes missing time on earth against 30 minutes missing time on the sun. Thus, there could be no net missing time. However, the sun would not become darkened at all. Far more likely, the sun travelled 99%, or even 100%, the speed of light and the sun was totally darkened. Thus, the sun was darkened in its going forth as the Bible states.
The winter half orbit from equinox to equinox, September 22 to March 20 is 178 days and 17 hours. 178.8 days / 365.24 X 48 hours = 23 hours and 30 minutes. Thus, there is a left over 30 minutes missing time in a winter half reverse orbit.
Then this took 52 minutes. Then the difference between 30 minutes and 30 minutes, 60 minutes, missing time from the two half reverse orbits is 8 minutes. The sun must travel the speed of light for 60 minutes. Then if the sun travelled west 360° in 60 minutes, it must travel an additional 1/24 or 15° west to be in the 1 PM position one hour later.
Now, if the sun continued at the speed of light for 3/24 of a circle, 45°, for three hours worth of earth's rotation, the sun could travel at the speed of light for a full 60 minutes. Then there would be no net missing time and there would only be three hours left till sunset. Thus, the sun would be darkened from noon for one hour and appear at the 3 PM position on a sundial.
Then an observer would say the darkness was so great it seemed like three hours and there also were only three hours left in the day as if the sun were darkened from noon till 3 PM.
The sixth hour is the sixth hour since sunrise, 12 PM, and the ninth hour is the ninth hour since sunrise, 3 PM. Thus, the writers of the Gospels would see the shadow on the sundial before the sun was darkened and after the sun reappeared, but not know how many hours had elapsed.
Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the landG1093 unto the ninth hour."
G1093 γῆ gē ghay Contracted from a primary word; soil; by extension a region, or the solid part or the whole of the terrene globe (including the occupants in each application): - country, earth (-ly), ground, land, world. Total KJV occurrences: 252
Thus, all the land means all the earth, all the planet earth.
This may describe one complete hour of darkness at noon April 3, 33 AD. One hour of missing time to counter one hour of elapsed time in darkness. This leaves no net missing time.
The day of Exodus out of Egypt should have been on Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Then there may have been an hour of darkness at noon in Egypt and sudden darkness at sunset in China on day 35 of cycle 60, Thursday, March 29, 1281 BC:
"Divined on day wuxu [35]: (Charge:) the shape of hui (comet) has changed; perhaps the darkness will go away. (Verification:) It was a clear day." [Heji, 32915]
The three days darkness may have affected all of the Egyptian side of earth. The Polenesians may have been on the divide of light and darkness: "The Hervey Island Legend: Te-eroi and Te-tareva heard there was a land of light. They built two canoes 'weary of darkness' and 'sleepless nights'.. "
Velikovsky's Sources
"The sun has perished out of heaven and an evil mist hovers over all"
Homer's Odyssey
Job 9:7 "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
"The sun - it has come to pass it riseth not."
Papyrus Anastasi IV
The Anastasi VI dates from the fifth year of Sethos II, 1277 BC = five years after Pharaoh Merneptah died at the end of the sothis cycle in 1281 BC at the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea of the children of Israel in Exodus. Thus, Anastasi IV describes the sun miracle of the three days of darkness and the devastation of Egypt in the Exodus five years earlier. Thus, Anastasi 4 was written five years earlier than Anastasi 6.
Anastasi IV describes the destruction in the 19th dynasty, from Ramses I, of Merneptah.
Exodus 10:21 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
"The land is not light."
Anastasi IV
This record in Egypt is from this very 1281 BC. Hazor is mentioned in Papyrus Anastasi I. Hazor was burned to the ground by Joshua about February 4, 1240 BC = 40 years after the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC.
The new moon March 15, 1281 BC is most likely. The next verse starts with the new month, Abib. If God moved the sun He would have to move the moon. If the moon was not a new moon but away from the sun, the shining moon would lighten Egypt. Thus, the new moon. It was recorded in Ch'aou's 14th year, perhaps 1091 BC = the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, the regular stars did not appear. Perhaps there was this same thick darkness as in Egypt.
So with the night of seven nights of the night of the crucifixion, there may be two autumn/winter half orbits that would need one hour of darkness to counter the 30 minutes and 30 minutes of missing time. This is because earth's orbit is elliptical.
The Passover feast of unleavened bread of seven days from Exodus may mean Israel crossed the Red/Reed Sea on this seventh day = April 5, 1281 BC may equal Jesus' resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
To be like Jesus' crucifixion the sun should be darkened for one hour at noon Israel/Egypt time on a Friday, sunset time in China. Then three days of darkness like the sabbaton the disciples rested. Sabbaton does not just mean Sabbath. It means a Sabbath of seven days. The disciples rested a Sabbaton not a Sabbath. That is, they rested a Sabbath of seven nights = 3 X 24 hours of darkness, the three days Jesus was in the grave.
"The divination was on day chia-yin [51]: There was another eclipse, should it be reported to...? (Chui-ho, 465)
(Preface:) Crack-making on day jiazi [1]; divined: (Charge:) the Sun was blemished on day jiayin [51]..
Heji, 33703 chia-yin is = to jiayin = 51 both the same record.
There was a solar eclipse on day 51, 80% covered, visible from China, July 16, 1276 BC:
Here you see the three days of darkness = 7 X 12 hours, three and a half times 24 hours = three days of darkness. And a long day when the sun returned two years later = 2 X 48 hours = 96 hours sped up orbit = 12 and 84 hours longer night/day, leaves no net missing time.
Both the three days of darkenss in the Exodus about March 15, 1281 BC, and the Sabbaton when Jesus was in the tomb for three days, April 4, 33 AD, may match this diagram.
The sun move March 15, 1281 BC = the new moon of the month of Abib, the month of the Passover on March 30, 1281 BC. Then the sun move back two years later March 15, 1279 BC, the 22nd day of the lunar month, the last day of the seven days of unleavened bread, the seventh day from the Passover.
The sun may move back one year later on March 15, 1280 BC = the tenth day of the month when the lamb was to be taken into the home before the Passover on the 14th day of the month.
Wu Yi moved the capitol from Yin to north of the Ho in his third year perhaps 1281 BC being afraid of the omen of the three days of darkness of Exodus. Wending moved the capitol back to Yin when he became emperor in 1251 BC or 1250 BC. Then the question "Were the oracle bone for the eclipse on day 51 found at Yin?" There is a note in the Chinese Classics that though his father had moved (in the third year - 1281 BC), W'o stayed at Yin. Then perhaps the oracle bones found at Yin covered the entire period from 1285 BC to 1235 BC.
Jesus must have been born September 12, 7 BC, on day 51 of cycle 60. Thus, divining may reveal Jesus' birth. There was prophesied an omen on a keatze in the autumn. The sun must return September 12, 5 BC on year 51 of cycle sixty and on day one of cycle sixty = a keatze day in the Chinese autumn.
From August 6 are 45 days to the autumn equinox September 22; the Chinese season of 90 days were the 45 days before and the 45 days after the equinox.
Abraham must be born on year 50 from 2657 BC = 2607 BC, on day 57, on the sun miracle in the seventh month in the autumn of Huangdi from 2657 BC on 2607 BC. Day 57 is 4 days to a keatze on day 1. Thus, the sun returning one year later to the day, 60 day cycle and a 365 day year = + 5 days the same date one year later; would equal a keatze day one. Likewise, the sun returning two years later, 2 X 5 plus 51; September 12, 5 BC on a keatze day one.
Thus, this prophesy of the keatze from Huangdi = a sun miracle in the autumn. September 12, 5 BC was a keatze year, and a keatze day, in autumn, when Jesus would be two years old, when the wisemen came to Bethlehem.
There was a keatze day = day one of cycle sixty, September 23, 716 BC equals the last day of the feast of tabernacles. The next year is a keatze year 715 BC and a keatze day September 19, 715 BC on a keatze lunar day the new moon also. The keatze that third year of the emperor King Hwan from 718 BC = 715 BC, was supposed to be the day of a solar eclipse day 29 of the lunar month, and or the year one of cycle sixty.
The Chinese made an effort to begin the year on a keatze day, especially on a keatze year. The Chinese year began also in September as did the Israel civil year.
716 BC was a keatze year, year one in cycles of sixty from 2636 BC.
The record is for a "keatze" day one and a "sin mao" 29 day of cycle 60, then perhaps this day of cycle 29 = August 23, 716 BC = the 17th day of the seventh month, perhaps Jesus was born the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle instead of an eclipse was noted on that day in China.
Year 9 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC should be 708 BC, not 709 BC.
There was a total solar eclipse record for July 17, 709 BC, that was on the correct day 29 of cycle 60 in China.
There may have, or may have not been a sun miracle in 716 BC. The solar eclipse record for the 2nd month of spring, day 42 of cycle 60 in 718 BC was not a solar eclipse. Likewise Hezekiah held the Passover in the 2nd month in this 718 BC.
Ahaz and King P'ing of China both died in the spring of 718 BC. Possibly there was an omen, a sun miracle, at the death of King Ahaz the Chinese took to assassinate their empmeror.
"In his 2nd year from 718 BC (718 BC be the first year of Hezekiah in Judah), the king made the duke of Kwoh attack K'euh-yuh, of Tsin. The prince Goh of Tsin died, when Chwang-pih attacked Tsin. The people of Tsin raised Kwang, the son of prince Goh, to the sovereignty. He is known as prince Gae. His 3d year was keah-tsze, the first year of prince Gae of Tsin.
In his 4th year, Chwang-pih of K'euh-yuh died, and was succeeded by his son Ch'ing, the duke Woo. The state had only one army. In his 5th year,- the first year of duke Woo of K'euh-yuh, - the people of Juy, Shing-king, the people of Seun, and the baron of Tung, all rebelled against K'euh-yuh.
In his 11th year, the first year of the prince Seaou-tze-tsin, - the chief of K'euh-yuh took prince Gae of Tsin prisoner, when the people of Tsin put Gae's son, known as prince Seaou-tsze, in his place. Wan, the baron of Juy, fled to Wei."
The Chinese Classics, p.161
2 Kings 18:9 "And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
18:10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
18:11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
18:12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them."
Thus, possible dates of sun miracles in 718 BC, 716 BC, 712 BC and 707 BC; 707 BC = 700 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Joshua's long day on the 21st of the seventh month, August 10, 1241 BC. The 17th day of the 7th month be four days earlier = a parallel to the birth of Jesus. This year of Jesus' birth in 7 BC and the sun return after two years = year 49, 50, and 51 of cycle 60 is like Huangdi's 50th year when Abraham must be born, from 2607 BC are 2600 years to 7 BC, and from 2657 BC are 50 year jubiles; the same from 2657 BC to 2607 BC, to 7 BC.
From an oracle bone, the sun had a blemish in the west on day 18 of cycle 60. Joshua's long day on August 10, 1241 BC was on day 19. The sun returing half an orbit later, 179 days later, February 4, 1241 BC was on day 18 of cycle 60.
The keatze may be 716 BC. The day keatze January 27, 716 BC, March 27, 716 BC. The full moon was Friday, March 24, 716 BC and the day keatze March 27, 716 BC. Thus possibly a Passover on Friday and a sudden sunrise on Sunday, March 26, 716 BC.
Wu Yi moved the capitol in his third year, 1281 BC, the year of the Exodus. This may have been because of the three days of darkness in Egypt, and also in China. This being taken as an omen to move the capitol. Wu Yi moved the capitol again in his 15th year. From 1283 BC 15 years is 1268 BC. Thus, God may have moved the sun in 1268 BC, 1300 years before his son Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. Thus, both in 1281 BC and 1268 BC Wu Yi reacted in fear of sun miracles.
You can see on this Excel spreadsheet, 61.xlsx or this PDF: 61.pdf that the eclipse on day 51, July 16, 1276 BC is correct. However, none of the dates where the sun had a chi; 17, 18, 25, 42, work. However a day 16, July 27, 1239 BC during Wending's reign Wending's 13th year. may appear just before sunset. Thus, the day may have been counted as day 17 because it happened at sunset. There was a sunrise and sunset worship when partial solar eclipses may have been noticed. Then this solar eclipse may have been noticed when only at 30%.
The other days, 18, 25 and 42 do not appear to fall on any solar eclipse date. If a chi does not mean a solar eclipse, it must mean something else.
Wending's 12th year when phoenixes appeared during battle with king Wan, could be king Wan's dream, and king Wan's first year, February 16, 1240 BC - or more likely, February 5, 1239 BC
Or Joshua's long day six months before, both equal 12 or 24 hours the sun stood still just below the western horizon. 24 hours on August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC; or on king Wan's dream, 12 hours February 16, 1240 BC; or 12 hours February 4, 1240 BC. And 24 hours August 10, 1240 BC. And/or king Wan's dream be 12 hours February 5, 1239 BC.
There is the possibility the Exodus was Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. The Sojourn into Egypt from the 430th sothis year from 2737 BC = 2307 BC. This was in the second year of famine. The second year of famine had started April 1, 2307 BC. Thus, Jacob's sojourn into Eypt was Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. Then the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC the selfsame day, Friday, April 1, 2307 BC was at the end of the second year. Then the sojourn into Egypt was from 2307 BC, 2300 years before the birth of Christ in 7 BC.
"The divination was on day jen-tzu [49]. There was a chih of the sun on day chia-yin [51]"
(Yi-ts'un, 384)
The Chih, blazing sun, on day 51, February 13, 1281 BC, could have been the day before the three days of darkness, February 14, 1281 BC. The sun moving to one side of earth, earth flowing out of the reverse orbit of the sun, then the sun moving back and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun again.
Darkness in the Bible may not refer to a solar eclipse but to sun miracles.
The new moon March 15, 1281 may be more likely the day there was three days of darkness just two weeks before the Exodus, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Isaiah 16:3 "Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth."
Jeremiah 6:4 "Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
6:5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
The shadow of the sun would move ahead from the noon position while the sun was darkened and appear in the 3 PM position. Thus, the shadows being lengthened. The time for the sun to set in the west from noon at the speed of light is 13 minutes. Thus, a connection to the Captivity when God turned his back on his people and the hour of darkness when God turned his back on his Son to atone for our sins. Thus when the sun was darkened, it was darkened in its going forth, probably at the speed of light.
They did not have clocks. Their only way to measure time was by a sundial. Thus, the darkness at the sixth hour = noon on the sundial. Then when the sun reappeared, the shadow on the sundial was at the ninth hour. If the sun was moved around the earth 360° in 50 minutes at the speed of light, the sun would reappear at the ninth hour on the sundial. This even though there was only almost one hour of darkness.
The sun would have to be moved at 100% the speed of light, or else the sun would not be completely dark because of relativity. At 80% the speed of light, the sun would only be dimmed 60%.
Moreover, at 6:20 PM when the moon rose that night there was a lunar eclipse of the moon. The sun must be ruby red while standing still. Therefore, the moon may not have appeared blood red from the lunar eclipse. The moon may have appeared blood red in reflection of the red sun. Either earth's shadow on the moon displayed some of this red glow or the moon was actually bright ruby blood red. Perhaps the sun moved with earth's rotation 180° and earth flowed out of the winter half reverse orbit at the time of the lunar eclipse.
The moon was at the horizon, thus the moon may have been red like blood only hours after Jesus' crucifixion. Thus, also the sun and moon should stand still in the sky for at least 12 hours.
There is a Lantern Festival in China for the full moon on the vernal equinox March/April. One origin story is that a beautiful crane - phoenix - flew down from heaven to earth. The Jade Emperor burned the city that tried to kill the crane. The Chinese may have seen the angel God sent to move the sun - the phoenix. The Greek word phoenix means the color of purple red or crimson. Perhaps the sun was purple red like a ruby when standing still and crimson when it rose suddenly in the east.
The Chinese also used these colors to describe the sun. That lanterns were used may be from this 72 hours of darkness - China would experience the same lunar eclipse April 3, 33 AD. Lanterns would be for light, and after this long of a period, people would be coming out of their houses.
There is a Pure Brightness festival Qingming Festival April 5 = 103 days from the winter solstice December 21, the same day the sun must travel 180° west over China and rise in the east at Jesus' resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. This is counted 104 days from the winter solstice on the full moon. "16th year, (of King Seang from 650 BC), first year of duke Wan of Tsin, Tsin put Tsze to death. 653 BC - 18 = 635 BC, 650 BC - 16 = 635 BC. Which could be the Passover Josiah kept in his 18th year of his life:
In the 18th year of Josiah's life is the full moon and Passover, Saturday, March 29, 635 BC.
In the 18th year of Josiah's reign should be the full moon and Passover, Wednesday, March 30, 627 BC.
There were noteable dates in years ending X27, 2127 BC fifth year of Chung K'ang, day 47 of cycle 60 the sun darkened and not match any solar eclipse. Emperor Te-sin began his 52 year reign in 1226 BC. This great Passover in 627 BC of Josiah.
Zephaniah 1:1 "The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah."
Zephaniah 2:4 "For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up."
Zephaniah 3:14 "Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 35:19 "In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept."
Josiah reigned from 643 BC 31 years to 612 BC.
Thus, perhaps a sun miracle at the noon day, perhaps like the darkness when Jesus was on the cross.
Or the sun may stand still at noon for 24 hours like the sun stood still for Joshua when he chased the Amorites to this Ashkelon.
2 Chronicles 35:18 "And there was no Passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept."
Josiah reigned from 643 BC 31 years to 612 BC.
The solar eclipse of January 23, 644 BC was not visible from China. The month was month five, counting from December means the recorded darkness would be about the time of the Passover. Then, this eclipse record in China must be a sun miracle and not an eclipse. 645 BC was 38 years in reverse to 607 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life = 600 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Manasseh King of Judah, died in 645 BC = 55 years from his birth in 700 BC, and reigned from his 12th year, when his father Hezekiah died in March 31, 688 BC. The sun darkened on the Passover March 19, 645 BC may appear as a solar eclipse at sunset in China.
Josiah's 18th year was about 626 BC. However, the 18th year of his life from 653 BC would be 636 BC. Josiah was born in 652 BC = the 49 year jubile from 1241 BC.
Daniel must have been born in this 627 BC, the year of this great Passover of Josiah, and be the age of 16 when he went into captivity in 612 BC.
2 Chronicles 35:3 "And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,"
That the ark was born on the shoulders of the Levites, the ark would be born on the shoulders of Jesus' apostles.
Then the sun must travel east. Then also, if the sun (and moon) travelled east the same 45° it travelled west past 360° the sun would be right back where it was originally. And there would be no net missing time. This would mean the sun and moon would stand still in the Americas and Israel for 15 hours instead of 12 hours, or rather 63 hours instead of 60 hours. This would also mean the night of the crucifixion there were 60 more hours to Jesus' resurrection.
Then there had to be more than 60 hours from Jesus' crucifixion at noon Friday to early morning Sunday. Thus, also in the proper way we speak of 24 hours in a day/night Jesus must have rose after about 90 hours since the crucifixion on the third day.
Probably the sun rose in the west and set in the east the Sabbath day that Jesus was in the grave. The parallel would be the sun rising in the west and passing ten steps on Ahaz's upper sundial to set in the east at the beginning of the sundial for king Hezekiah. The night may have been prolonged as well.
Also, there is the possibility the sun and moon revolved around the earth two and a half times, 60 hours, and the lunar eclipse lasted 60 hours, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
In a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius he stated: "And the moon, which was like blood, did not shine all night long, although it was at the full, and the stars and Orion made lamentation over the Jews, because of the transgression committed by them." - Perhaps the moon did not shine all night long because at moon rise the moon was in a lunar eclipse.
Then Jesus' resurrection would be in the third sunrise at 9 PM Saturday April 4, 33 AD. Three times 24 hours, 72 hours, - three whole days that Friday night, 12 hours that day light day of Saturday till the sudden sunrise at the third hour after sunset.
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Luke 23:56 "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbaton day according to the commandment."
Matthew 28:1 "After the Sabbaths, at the dawning into the first of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdelene and the other Mary came to see the grave."
The word for Sabbath was Sabbaton. This may mean by extension a se'nnight = seven nights. Thus, the Sabbath night beginning the Friday night of Jesus' crucifixion may have lasted seven nights 7 X 12 hours, 84 hours, longer.
Thus, this sabbaton night may be like the first Hanukkah where the sun did not rise for eight nights. That is, the sun did not rise for 7 nights plus the current normal eighth night. Then from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday may be 108 hours = 7 X 12 hours (7 X 180°) + 24 hours.
Then Jesus' resurrection and the sudden sunrise two hours later. Thus, 110 hours from sunset Friday to sunrise Sunday. Joshua's long day appears to have been on a Saturday. That day the five kings were hung on trees and taken down at sunset and buried in a cave. The significance of the long day of Joshua may be to point to the sacrifice of Christ.
The sun stood still for ten or nine days for Yao in his first year, in April 1, 2315 BC and the sun stood still for ten days for emperor Kin in his 8th year, 1734 BC.
For the sun to move with earth's rotation 7 X 180° = 7 X 12 hours = 84 hours. And Saturday be 24 hours. In total a little more than 108 hours from Jesus' crucifixion to Jesus' resurrection.
Back 490 years from Joshua's conquest beginning in 1242 BC is 1732 BC = a 49 year jubile.
The following seven weeks ended at Pentecost, the feast of Shavout, the Festival of first fruits. A night of seven Sabbaths is equal to seven weeks of Sabbath days. Pentecost is the day Boaz purchased and redeemed Ruth's inheritance. Jesus redeemed us when he rose from the dead on the Sunday, the first day of 50 to Pentecost. Pentecost is the day the Holy Ghost was given to Jesus' disciples when devout men were gathered at Jerusalem.
Matthew 27:62 "Now the next day that followedG3326(575) the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three daysG2250(G5610) I will rise again.
27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."
The day that followed Friday, may have followed the course of the sun in reverse from the west on Saturday. That is, the sun may have risen in the west and set in the east.
Psalm 105:28 "He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word."
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Exodus 10:21 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
Isaiah 8:22 "And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."
Isaiah 9:1 "Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
Isaiah 59:9 "Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness."
Isaiah 60:2 "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
Jeremiah 13:16 "Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness."
Joel 2:2 "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
Amos 4:13 "For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name."
Amos 5:18 "Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light."
Amos 5:20 "Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"
Zephaniah 1:15 "That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"
Ecclessiastes 12:1 "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
12:2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:"
Ecclessiastes 11:8 "But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity."
Isaiah 40:28 "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding."
Isaiah 43:15 "I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King."
Romans 1:25 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
1 Peter 4:19 "Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator."
Genesis 15:12 "And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him."
From the Leningrad Codex Genesis 15:12. "As the sun was setting" = the top line:
Genesis 15:12 in the Hebrew Interlinear:
That Friday night may have been seven times longer, 7 X 12 hours; or about 3 days = 3 X 24 hours. That is 7 X 12 hours, an odd number, so that the sun is now on the other side of the earth and earth can flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. That Saturday the sun may have risen in the west to set in the east. Thus, the chief priests were all the more aware of what Jesus had said.
Matthew 27:62 "Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first."
Matthew 27:63 "Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."
Matthew was originally written in Hebrew and later translated to Greek. Thus, the Hebrew word for "follow" may have been written to describe the sun rising in the west and following the previous days east to west travel in reverse = west to east.
H310 achar = away from = "following" in Joshua 22:29. Matthew 27:62 "that followed the day of the preparation"
Joshua 22:29 "God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from followingH310 the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle."
H310 אַחַר 'achar akh-ar' From H309; properly the hind part; generally used as an adverb or conjugation, after (in various senses): - after (that, -ward), again, at, away from, back (from, -side), behind, beside, by, follow (after, -ing), forasmuch, from, hereafter, hinder end, + out (over) live, + persecute, posterity, pursuing, remnant, seeing, since, thence [-forth], when, with.

G1887 ἐπαύριον epaurion ep-ow'-ree-on From G1909 and G839; occuring on the succeeding day, that is, (G2250 being implied) tomorrow: - day following, morrow, next day (after). Total KJV occurrences: 17

Total KJV occurrences: 889
G3326 μετά meta met-ah' A primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive case association, or accusative case succession) with which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between G575 or G1537 and G1519 or G4314; less intimate than G1722, and less close than G4862): - after (-ward),X that he again, against, among, X and, + follow, hence, hereafter, in, of, (up-) on, + our, X and setting, since, (un-) to, + together, when, with (+ -out).

Matthew 27:62 "Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first."
If the sun rose away from the west where the sun set, the sun must travel west to east that day.
"So the last error be worse than the first" may be because of the sign of a sun miracle that day that weighed on their concience. Many would take the sun miracle that day as a sign from God that Jesus is the Son of God. Perhaps the sun revolving and standing still on the far side of earth for a long night. Then Jesus would be in the grave 3 X 24 hours = three whole days:
Matthew 12:39 "But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Also, the sun rising in the west and setting in the east, following the previous day's path of the sun through the day in reverse.
Perhaps on this Sabbath day after an 84 hour night 7 X 12, 3.5 X 24, the sun rose in the west and set in the east. The sun would then retrace its path from the previous day, and thus follow the previous day. Thus, the concern of the Pharisees. And thus the urgency to seal the stone. The Sabbath day may have been only a few hours, then the sun set in the east. The word for day is G5610 hora meaning hour. Thus, this could be the third day of one hour of darkness before sunrise.
The few hours of day light after the darkness from 3 PM to 6 PM Friday April 3, 33 AD, a few hours of day light Saturday, then a few hours of day light again Sunday. Likewise the word for followed is G575 apo for completion or reversal, "X and setting". This may mean the sun rose in the west and set in the east that Sabbath.
Thus, the day following the preparation day of Friday, may have been a reversal, the sun rising in the west and descending in the east.
Psalm 65:8 "They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evenings to rejoice."
Psalm 65:8 "And are afraid those living in the furthest limits of Your signs; the outgoings of the morning and evening You make to rejoice."
God may have made the sun to set in the east and rise in the west. Then the birds would sing as they do in the morning. The word for rejoice is to sing.
Leviticus 4:13 "And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
4:14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
4:16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
4:17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail."
Perhaps the High Priest made atonement for Israel for the crucifixion. Then while he was performing this sacrifice before the vail, the veil was rent in twain. Then there was 7 X 12, a seven nights in one. The Sabbaton.
Luke 24:1 "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,G901 G3722 they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them."
Perhaps the sun was going down in the east having passed from the west to east the Sabbath day. Then the sun brightened and suddenly ascended.
G901 βαθύς bathus bath-oos' From the base of G939; profound (as going down), literally or figuratively: - deep, very early. Total KJV occurrences: 3
G3722 ὄρθρος orthros or'-thros From the same as G3735; dawn (as sun rise, rising of light); by extension morn: - early in the morning. Total KJV occurrences: 3
Thus, it was written they came very early in the morning because the sun had just set in the east, now rising suddenly from the east.
Luke 24:9 "And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not."
The reason they seemed as idle tales may be because of the Sabbaton of Friday night being seven times longer than usual. They may have thought they were idle in this long period of time.
Isaiah 59:7 "Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
59:8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
59:9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
59:11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us."
Perhaps there was a long night of 36 or 60 or 84 more hours the night of Jesus' crucifixion. There be darkness for one or three hours at noon when Jesus was on the cross. Then the sun appear for three hours and the sun set at 6 PM. Thus, when it should be noon 24 hours after they had crucified our Lord on the sixth hour of the day - noon, there was still darkness.
Isaiah 59:19 "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
Perhaps the sun rose in the west during Jesus' ministry. Perhaps the sun rose in the west for Gideon's long night, August 23, 1241 BC, or August 9, 1241 BC. Perhaps the sun rose in the west the night of the crucifixion. Then the sun rose in the east suddenly Saturday after the end of the Sabbath at sunset, to rise in the east at 9 PM and it suddenly became 10 AM. Gideon's war was won before the sun rose - brilliantly in the east. Jesus won the war over death and was resurrected before the sun rose.
Thus, the whole reverse orbit year from Joshua's long day has fulfilled scripture in Jesus. Joshua had victory at Gibeon by Jerusalem over the five kings on Joshua's long day. The war was over. All that was left were the battles. After the battle of Merom, the war was definitely over.
Perhaps the sun set like normal the night of Jesus' crucifixion. Then at 6:30 there was a naturally occurring lunar eclipse. Perhaps the eclipsed moon stood still for 36 hours, or 60 hours, or 84 hours, and the sun and moon moved 540°, or more, east as earth rotated, then the sun rose in the west where it still was, and passed west east through the sky to set in the east 12 hours later, the sun and moon moving 360°. Then the darkness at noon may be the dim sun passing overhead, going east. Isaiah 59:10b "we stumble at noon day as in the night" may refer to both the darkness when Jesus was on the cross and the darkness of the dim day on the Sabbath when they should have been resting.
Isaiah 59:9b "we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness".
Then three hours after the sun set in the east, the sun naturally rose in the east at the beginning of the second watch. Or the sun brilliantly travelled east west and ascended suddenly in the east from the 3 AM position to the 3 PM position, 180°. The sun could travel the 180° west in 12 hours leaving a six hour day. Then Saturday April 4, 33 AD may have been like the sun retreating to the horizon for Hezekiah. The sun descending from the west Saturday, then rising Sunday in the east.
Isaiah 38:8 "Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten steps, by which steps it was gone down."
1QIsaa 38:1 - 8 The different hands in chapter 38 in the scroll may reflect different stages of the development of Kings 20:1 - 20:11"

In the Dead Sea Scroll, IQIsa a : "Isaiah 38:21-22 was inadvertently omitted by the scribe. These verses have been added and extend vertically"
The Dead Sea Scrolls & Modern Translations of the Old Testament, Photographs of the Manuscripts.
The Great Isaiah Scroll - Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
Begins with "that he may live" H2421.
The vertical verse begins with verse Isaiah 38:22: "and said" H559:
Isaiah 38:21 "For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
38:22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"
Likewise the verse Isaiah 40:7 appears a vertical text added to the scroll. This verse Isaiah 40:7 does not appear in the Greek Septuagint, but Isaiah 38:21-22 does appear in the Septuagint.
Isaiah 40:7 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass."
Then the sun rose in the east. Perhaps like Gideon Jesus returned from the dead before the sun suddenly ascended in the east.
"And when Isaiah had asked him what sign he desired to be exhibited, he desired that he would make the shadow of the sun, which he had already made to go down ten steps [or degrees] in his house, to return again to the same place, and to make it as it was before." Josephus in the Antiquities of the Jews 10:2:29.
Thus, the sun that set in the west may have then rose in the west and travelled east to set in the east presently, for a short day of about two hours. Thus, the sun may have traveled east to set in the east where the sun was before. Nevertheless, the sun may have then risen suddenly in the east on the third day when Hezekiah was promised healing.
Perhaps the sun rose in the west to set in the east on Saturday. Then rose brilliantly and suddenly in the east Sunday, and the brightness of the sun had a part in healing Hezekiah.
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Ecclesiastes 1:5 "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."
This could mean the sun rose in the west and set in the east. That the law of God was brought back to as it was in the beginning with Adam and Eve.
The fast in Isaiah 58 may have been when Jesus was in the tomb and his disciples were fasting because he was taken away from them. Jesus rose from the dead Saturday night at the beginning of the second watch. Then the sun suddenly rose at 9 PM to the 10 AM noon position.
Isaiah 58:8 "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:"
A resurrection life. A new birth.
Isaiah 66:7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children."
Psalm 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."
Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."
60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee."
They shall flow together may mean the sun rising and moving to the other side of earth and earth and the moon flowing into the reverse orbit of the sun.
Isaiah 40:12 "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?"
Isaiah 40:21 "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"
Psalm 89:11 "The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them."
From the Big Bang, from creation, the universe has been strung out and strung along.
Nehemiah 9:6 "Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee."
After moving the sun to the other side of the earth, God may skill fully guide the earth, now in a reverse orbit of the sun, with the hollow of his hand around the sun, and God also speed up earth's reverse orbit 48 hours.
Isaiah 42:5 "Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;"
Isaiah 42:16 "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."
Thus, there may have been a long Friday night, the night of Jesus' crucifixion. Then the sun rise in the west and set in the east and the sky be dark for a few hours. Then the sun must arise brilliantly and suddenly in the east.
Acts 2:19 "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Acts 2:37 "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
The coming destruction came on the seventh day of the fifth month Saturday August 4, 70 AD or Saturday September 1, 70 AD, just as it had at the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC, the seventh day of the fifth month.
Acts 2:42 "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
Hosea 6:2, Malachi 4:2 and Isaiah 30:26 connect the sun with healing. There was often rain at the time of a sun miracle, like there was rain and hail stones on Joshua's long day, Joshua 10:11 and the Chinese dragon thunder and American Native Thunderbird. There is the possibility the sun rose for a short bright day on the day of the resurrection Sunday, that being the "great and notable day".
Psalm 18:12 "At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."
Hosea 6:1 "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
Hosea 6:5 "Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forthH3318.
6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."

The light that goeth forth is like the sun being moved.
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forthH3318 in his might. And the land had rest forty years."
The light that "goeth forth" H3318, and the sun that "goeth forth" H3318, are the same.
The Dead Sea fragment 4QJoshuaa Frag. 19-22, of Joshua 10:8-11, is just before Joshua 10:12 when Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still gives assurance this record is genuine.
The outer three planets appear to move in retrograde 10° as earth passes by all the time.
To take note of that retrograde movement the sun probably was moved around the earth.
In 103 BC, 102 BC and 101 BC it was recorded Jupiter fell back one sign instead of moving foward one sign = the sun on the other side of the earth and earth in a reverse orbit of the sun and Jupiter continuing in its regular orbit of the sun.
For Jupiter and Saturn to appear at the same time of night as they would have, they would have to be moved around the sun twice an earth reverse orbit year.
No matter what, the planets would not appear as normal.
January 18 - February 15, 155 BC:
"In the autumn hail fell in Heng-shan, the large ones measured five ts'un, the deep ones penetrating to two ch'ih. Mars moved in retrograde and guarded the North Star. The moon appeared in the vicinity of the North Star. Jupiter retrograded amid the constellation T'ien-t'ing. An elongated star appeared in the west." (27 February 154 BC).
Note 19: "the physical improbability of a hail stone penetrating the ground to a depth of two ch' ih,
Note 20: "Mars is associated with chaos in general...the term here for Mars, is also used in rare occurrence in the Shih chi by one of the rebellious king of Wu's officials..
Note 21: "Heaven's court is the alternative designation for the constellation Grand Tenuity..these movements of the two planets are not in keeping with astronomical probability. The problem is essentially that, if pei-ch'en, (the pole star asterism) and t'ien-ting are given their usual attested meanings, the positional observations involving Mars, the Moon and Jupiter become physically impossible. The orbital inclination of Mars and Jupiter of 1.8° and 1.3° respectively means that neither is ever seen further than that from the ecliptic. There is simply no way any of them can be observed in the visinity of the north pole region..the same is true of the Moon..even if this did solve the problem for Mars and the Moon, the problem of Jupiter's purported position remains unresolved."
Note 22: "I cannot believe Shih chi, 11.440 originally containd the problematic sentence as it now stands, as neither Ss-ma T'an nor Ssu-ma Ch'ien could have made such a gross error."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.198.
"There is simply no way any of them can be observed in the visinity of the north pole region." = God must have moved both the sun, and the moon, and planets. To keep earth in the same season the sun needs to be moved up or down to the other side of earth, and the planets moved = the planets in the polar region.
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
Joshua's long day and large hail stones. Mars in retrograde = God moved the sun around the earth and He moved Mars around the earth out of the way of the sun.
Here you can see Jupiter by the sun, and also Mars in October of 155 BC. Jupiter and Mars appear to move 10° against the stars as earth orbits past them. This happens every year. But for it to be significant enough to mention, the record may be of a sun miracle. If the sun is moved 180° Mars must move out of the way of the sun. Mars may be recorded in retrograde movement as it was moved and earth orbit in reverse.
For Jupiter to continue in its normal orbit - it is far enough away from the sun to not need be moved out of the way of the sun, and for Jupiter to appear normally, Jupiter must move one zodiac space, backwards instead of forwards, of 12 zodiac spaces each year because earth must orbit the sun in reverse. Jupiter was by the sun. For Jupiter to be visible the month must be before or after, or Jupiter was moved 180° also.
In China in 103 BC to 101 BC Jupiter was recorded a month earlier each year instead of a month later each year = earth in a reverse orbit and Jupiter still in its normal orbit. Jupiter has an orbit of 12 years and there are 12 months in a year, and normally is seen one month later each year.
Notes: "T'ien-huo probably refers to ignis fatuus. This is the only reference to this phenomenon in the Shih chi. On ignis fatuus in general, see William H. Nienhauser, Jr., "A UFO in Ancient China: A Comparative Study of the Pi-fang (Fire Crane) and its Western Analogues,"
Asian Culture Quarterly, XVII (Winter 1989): 69-79, The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.197-199.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
Isaiah 30:29 "Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel."
Matthew 26:30 "And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives."
Hoseah 6:1 "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."
Hoseah 6:3 "his going forth is prepared as the morning"
Psalm 19:4 "Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
The Aztecs may have witnessed the moon as bright as the sun, and the sun standing still in the sky:
"The creation of the Fifth World, or Sun, ..At first the Moon was as bright as the Sun: 'Exactly equal had they become in their appearance, as they shone'. But such equality could not be tolerated. The Moon was struck in the face, and its brilliance forever dimmed. The newborn Sun, could not move, so the gods immolated themselves to give it movement, feeding it with their own flesh and blood. Then the Sun moved. Only when its glorious circuit was completed did the Moon begin to move: 'so they passed eachother and went each one on their way.'
Aztecs, Inga Clendinnen, p.198
After two days, after Friday and Saturday. In the third day = Sunday. The letter is Bet. Thus, from the third day. Thus, the priests made sure the sepulchre Saturday because the third day began at sunset Saturday. Thus, Jesus' resurrection was from the third day probably being but the third hour of Saturday night and beginning Sunday the third day. Saturday, when Jesus was in the tomb, may also have been a long day as was Joshua's long day that was like two days.
Hoseah 6:3 "Then shall we know,H3045 if we follow onH7291 to knowH3045 (H853) the LORD:H3068 his going forthH4161 is preparedH3559 as the morning;H7837 and he shall comeH935 unto us as the rain,H1653 as the latterH4456 and former rainH3138 unto the earth.H776"
"going forth" = rising of the sun. Going forth may mean a literal moving of the sun, suddenly rising in the east. "prepared" means 90°. Thus, the sun must have set in the east the Sabbath Jesus was in the tomb. Then the sun must rise suddenly in the east the third hour of the night to the noon, perpendicular position.
2 Samuel 23:3 "The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
23:4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain."
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
The moon would be visible at the same time as the sun that Sunday morning. The moon would be directly above that Saturday night when the sun set in the east to rise on China. Then the sun would stop travelling east and brighten sevenfold and travel 180° west rising in the east to about the 9 AM position. The moon above would also reflect the light of the sun as if it was the sun at 8 PM that Saturday night and travel west to set in the west.
Jesus appeared in Galilee after his victory over the grave, the resurrection morning Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, after the sun brilliantly and suddenly rose just as Gideon may have returned as far as Galilee after his victory and before the sun suddenly and brilliantly rose on Gideon, perhaps Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
Matthew 28:10 "Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
The Sabbath ended at sunset. Then perhaps the sun rose soon after sunset:
Psalm 50:1 "The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people."
When God moved the sun, many records show that storms suddenly blew up. The Chinese record the Dragon was so bright thick clouds were brought to hide him. Psalm 18 is very graphic.
Psalm 18:12 "At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."
Thus, this verse of the sun rising in the east does not just describe a normal day, but also when God moved the sun. Thus, God is mighty, and God has shined. When the sun suddenly rose in the east the sun must appear bright to give the same amount of light in a short day for coral to lay the same daily coral layer.
That is was both sunset and dawn may mean the sun had just set in the east, and now was beginning to rise in the east. For Gideon, the sun may have rose in the west like it may have the Sabbath day Jesus was in the tomb.
Judges 7:19 "So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands."
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men."
"began to dawn" in the Greek means to begin to grow light from a root meaning to illuminate. That sunrise may not have been like a normal sunrise. The sun may have been bright, so that even though the sunrise may have been sudden, there would have been also a bright twilight before the sunrise. Moreover, the end of the Sabbath was Saturday at sunset. Then the account in Pilate's letter to Tiberius may be correct in stating the sun came out at the third hour of the night. A short day may occur 12 hours early to fit earth's calendar.
Also, Gideon's short day when the sun suddenly rose may occur after the sun set in the east. Then the sun would suddenly rise to the noon position from the midnight position.
The sudden sunrise at 9 PM at the end of the Sabbath would see the sun suddenly rise to the 9 AM position Sunday morning April 5, 33 AD. Then the time of Jesus' resurrection may have occurred at the beginning of the second watch, just like Gideon attacked at the beginning of the second watch. The sun would appear to rise through the zodiac through the year in the reverse orbit. If the zodiac was pictured as the sky, the sun would rise in spring in the east like the sun rises each day that year. In our normal zodiac the sun does not rise but falls further and further back.
Isaiah 53:11 "Out of the suffering of his soul he will see light, and find satisfaction."
Job 33:28 "He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light."
The word light in Isaiah 53:11 appears both in the Septuagint and in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
This chapter 53 of Isaiah, from 150 BC, has some 15 missing letters - letters that are missing in our Hebrew Masoretic text from 1000 AD, but are in the Dead Sea Scroll. But only this word for light changes the meaning.
Here you can see the Masoretic text is missing the word light - in the middle.
The Hebrew word for light is in the Dead Sea Scroll, above the space, owr. Note there are letters missing in the Masoretic text beneath the scribe's writing from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Here is the English of the Greek Septuagint. Note the word light is included:
The Greek word for light, phos.
The Great Isaiah Scroll - Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
Here you see this Hebrew word for light in the above verse in the middle of the verse.
Here you see the same Hebrew word definition for light:

Light in Job 12:22, to light:
Isaiah 53:11 in the Greek Septuagint from 300 BC. You can see the character for light a coma, "and shall be satisfied".
The Greek word for light, phos:
From a concordance of the Septuagint you can see the many places the word light, phos, is used, including Isaiah 53:11.
Here is the Strong's Concordance definition of the Greek word phos:
From The Hebrew Bible, A translation and commentary, by Robert Alter, Prophets:
"from his toil he would see light, and be sated in his mind."
"11. see light. There is no "light" in the Masoretic Text, but it appears both in the Qumran Isaiah and in the Septuagint."
"be sated in his mind. The meaning of the two Hebrew words here is obscure."
Isaiah 26:19 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."
Isaiah 62:1 "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."
Psalm 139:11 "If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."
Mark 16:2 "And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
The Saturday Sabbath ended at sunset Saturday, the first day of the week, Sunday, began after sunset on Saturday. Thus, they came unto the sepulchre at sunrise.
The dead never see light. So this verse in Isaiah 53:11 speaks of Jesus' resurrection.
The Greek word for up-rising is alternatively used for the Passover. The sun suddenly rising up would be very symbolic of up-rising = the resurrection. This month was called the beginning of months of the Exodus. This also was the beginning of the New Testament marked by the sun rising through the zodiac from this day. This was called Easter, the rising of the sun in the sky after the spring equinox. The vernal equinox began on the new moon March 21, 33 AD.
The Temple faced east. Thus a priest could determine the spring equinox, by the sun's shadow, to start this March 21, 33 AD. Thus, the counting of 14 days to the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, by the resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, the sun was rising higher and the days lengthening.
John 20:17 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up (ascended)."
Luke 24:13 "And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs."
Luke 24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?"
Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?"
Luke 24:29 "But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spentG2827. And he went in to tarry with them."
The same word klee'noG2827 is used when Jesus was on the cross. Thus, signifying not a natural falling down but a purposeful bowing. Thus, the sun bowed down in the west on the resurrection Sunday.
Sunday, the day after the Sabbath of the Passover, was the first day of fifty which may have been counted a Sabbath. Perhaps toward sunset, two hours before night, one could walk more than a Sabbath days journey. From Jerusalem to Olivet is about half a mile, a Sabbath days journey. From Jerusalem to Emmaus was about seven and a half miles.
John 1:38 "Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
1:39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour (two hours before night)."
John 19:30 "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowedG2827 his head, and gave up the ghost."
Perhaps the day was already far spent after travelling only twelve kilometers, seven miles, because the resurrection Sunday was a short brilliant day. That is, the sun travelled 180° west in only a few hours. So the sun may have completed the 180° by the sixth hour, noon. That Sunday was a Sabbath. Thus, until sunset the two could not travel more than a mile.
Then before sunset, three or four hours before night, the two from Emmaus went seven miles, and were able to arrive at Emmaus by dark. The evening was called "Erev" and meant between the two evenings, between sunset and night and began the next day which was not a Sabbath.
Perhaps the reason the two left Jerusalem for Emmaus was the disciples were disbanding after Jesus' death. Thus, when they recognized Jesus at the blessing of bread, they turned back to Jerusalem. From then on there was no turning back.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
If the sun travelled west 180° 9 PM Saturday April 4, 33 AD the sun would rise suddenly to the 9 AM position Sunday April 5, 33 AD, completing the 180°. However, if the sun set in the east, the sun may have been in the 3 AM position before changing course and heading west to suddenly rise in the east at 9 PM Saturday. Then the sun would pass to the 3 PM position.
Then there would be a normal afternoon of 3 hours till sunset at 6 PM. In these few hours of the resurrection Sunday the two travelled to Emmaus with Jesus.
Then the sun must return 186 days 10 hours later - half an orbit later, and perhaps the sun rose at 6 PM October 9, 33 AD to the 6 AM position and stood still now at the 6 AM position for 12 hours.
Thus, the sun would travel 180° west at sunset and rise suddenly in the east. Then the sun would travel 180° with earth's rotation to stand still in the morning position for 12 hours.
The morrow may be a sun miracle at 6 AM October 10, 33 AD:
Acts 3:6 "Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength."
Acts 4:3 "And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4:4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
4:5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
4:6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
4:9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole."
The following may be a long sunrise, the sun standing still as it rose in the east, April 7, 34 AD.:
Acts 5:19 "But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught."
Acts 5:29 "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him."
The following may be a sun miracle, the signs and wonders and perhaps part of the cause of the earthquake.
Acts 4:29 "And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."
Perhaps there were only two intercalary months added from 34 AD to 46 AD. Then the Passover may have been January 10, 46 AD. It is not impossible for the calendar to fall back two months.
Then 12 years later in 46 AD Herod had killed James and captured Peter. Perhaps the night just before the Hebrew new moon may have been 12 hours longer. If there was only two intercalary months added since the Passover April 3, 33 AD, then the Passover would have been January 10, 46 AD. Then the Passover month would end in January 26, 45 AD. Then still in the Passover month on the 29th day, the last day of the lunar month, January 26, 46 AD ended the Passover month of Easter.
Thus, Herod expected to bring Peter out the day after Easter January 26, 46 AD. Perhaps that night the sun moved 180° east and stood still on the other side of the earth for 12 hours and earth flowed into a reverse orbit. Then Peter would have had 12 extra hours that night for the angel to help him escape.
Acts 12:1 "Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
12:3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him."
12:16 "But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
12:17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
12:18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter."
Then August 1, 46 AD at noon, 186 days 10 hours later, the sun should go down. The same time of day, the same date one year after a 40% solar eclipse at Rome August 1, 45 AD.
Refers to solar eclipse of AD 45, on the birthday of the Roman Emperor, Claudius, from Dion Cassius.
The birthday of Claudius Caesar was August 1. There was a 40% solar eclipse in Rome August 1, 45 AD. However, this statement may refer to August 1, 46 AD. If Peter was saved the day after the month of Easter/Passover, January 26, 46 AD, the sun must return August 1, 46 AD. The eclipse of August 1, 45 AD probably was not even noticed being only about 40% in Rome. A solar eclipse of 40%, such as I observed July 10, 6PM, 2002, produces no noticeable shading or darkening of the sky.
The emperor may have known the sun must return six months after the long night of January 26, 46 AD.
The people may have been aware of sun miracles just 12 years previous, then again that January 26. The Passover sun miracle of February 12, 32 AD would have been followed by the sun miracle of August 16, 32 AD.
However, people looked directly at the sun and noticed even if the moon only grazed the sun. Claudius may have correctly predicted this partial solar eclipse and tried to give it a natural explanation in order that he would not be deposed by the omen of the sun. Likewise, if Claudius expected a sun miracle he would also try to predict the sun miracle in order that he would not be deposed by it either.
Thus, Caesar made the edict "through fear of a disturbance, as there had been other prodigies". Then the sun miracle of August 1, 46 AD would have been explained to the people by this decree in fear of a disturbance. Then there would be no further Roman record of this sun miracle. There was recorded an island Hiera appeared during an eclipse of the moon in winter dated to the lunar eclipse December 31, 46 AD. "Aurelius Victor notes moreover that the island emerged at night during an eclipse of the moon".
The sun must return January 26, 47 AD on the full moon. Perhaps what was noted was a sun miracle not a lunar eclipse. Perhaps the island Hiera formed from pressure triggered by the gravity pull of the sun being pulled suddenly around the earth.
An island forming is like spiritual life forming.
Claudius was afraid of the result of sun miracles in 46 AD there being rebellion in the Roman Empire. He ordered a census in 46 AD and celebrated the 800th Roman year at the secular games that June 4. There was rebellion by Caratacus in Britain in 46 AD and again by Queen Boudicca in 61 AD - the years of sun miracles.
There are records of the world being turned upside down.
They probably were looking at the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper normally points straight down at midnight in August/September 2,000 years ago then straight up at midnight in winter. Then a sun miracle in winter would mean the Big Dipper would point straight down to Arcturus at night in winter. Thus, the world would seem upside down.
The sign of Castor and Pollux may be the sign of the zodiac the sun was in in January.
Castor and Pollux the two stars to the right of the moon. Picture taken May 2, 2025 at 10 PM:
The sun moving 180° from Capricornus to Gemini = Castor and Pollux - in January could be taken as a sign. Perhaps that was the sign that it was spring and safe to sail. A sign from God. The sun normally is in Castor and Pollux - Gemini, in July/August. Thus, a sun miracle six months later and the sun would be in Castor and Pollux in January. Paul sailed from Malta to Rome either in February of 61 AD or February of 62 AD. February 5, 61 AD may have been about when Paul sailed from Malta to Rome. There was a major earthquake in Pompeii on the Nones of February, February 5, 62 AD.
Nevertheless, there may not have been any more sun miracles after Jesus came.
There was a major tsunami then and many ships that were not protected by harbours were destroyed in the Sicily vicinity. If this was just before Paul sailed for Rome from Malta it would be a wonder he found a ship. Perhaps the sign of Castor and Pollux in January/February was a sun miracle February 5, 61 AD. Then the earthquake and tsunami that was on February 5, 62 AD was when the sun returned one year later. The Nones of February was from the fifth to the 13th of the month when this earthquake was recorded, the afternoon of February 5, 62 AD.
There may be a short day/night or long day/night for the sun to appear in Gemini = Castor and Pollux February 5, 61 AD and again February 5, 62 AD and two sun miracles July 10, 61 AD.
For the sun to be in the sign of Castor and Pollux in January/February can only mean there was a sun miracle then and would be the sign it was fair sailing and this being February would be now spring. February 8 was the day ships sailed in the beginning of Spring. So if Paul sailed February 8, 62 AD, it would be a few days after the tsunami of February 5, 62 AD. The next port was in Syracuse Sicily then Rhegium and Puteoli which were hard hit by the tsunami. Therefore, Paul must have sailed from Malta a few days before the tsunami or a year before the tsunami. The word for sign means to mark at.
Thus, the sun at Castor and Pollux marked the time, January/February that it was safe to sail. Safe sailing was from about February 8 and the sun could only be in Castor and Pollux in January/February after moving 180° from Capricornus.
Thus, the sun just moving from Capricornus to Castor and Pollux would be a sign it was the beginning of February and winter was past and was now safe to sail.
Acts 28:11 "And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux."
The significance of the sign of the stars of Castor and Pollux may be a sun miracle and earth in a reverse orbit.
Paul was acquitted when he arrived in Rome. Then he sailed with Timothy to Crete. The sun must return six months later in July and move again. Thus, earth would flow out of a reverse orbit of the sun July 10 and then the sun move again and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun July 11 till the afternoon of February 5, 62 AD when the sun must move again and earth finally flow out of the reverse orbit and there be no missing time.
Titus 1:5 "For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:"
Titus 3:4 "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,"
Appeared means to shine upon. Perhaps there was a sun miracle when Paul left Timothy in Crete after he was freed in Rome. Perhaps the sun returned 186 days later, about July 10, 61 AD, and suddenly and brilliantly rose in the sky as it did in the resurrection morning. Then returned on the Nones of the last month of the year in January and the earthquake and tsunami. The tsunami probably did not occur just when Paul sailed. So Paul may have sailed about February 5, 61 AD.
Then "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared" may suggest a beneficial sun miracle six months after the destruction of the first sun miracle February 5, 62 AD. The following model shows how these sun miracles cover two years.
The first sun miracle may have been August 9, 60 AD, then February 5, 61 AD, then February 6, 62 AD, then August 10, 62 AD:
Cassius Dio Roman History, Epitome of Book LXIV:
8 "While he was behaving in this way, evil omens occurred. A comet was seen, and the moon, contrary to precedent, appeared to suffer two eclipses, being obscured on the fourth and on the seventh day. Also people saw two suns at once, one in the west weak and pale, and one in the east brilliant and powerful."
The sun rising in the west should be dimmed for a longer day for 24 hours to = 12 hours in light intensity. The sun suddenly rising in the east, such as on Jesus' resurrection, should be bright to likewise = in six hours the light of 12 hours.
An eclipse cannot occur on lunar day 4, or on lunar day 7.
A solar eclipse is on lunar day 29 or lunar day 1.
A lunar eclipse is on lunar day 14 or lunar day 15.
The sun may move back on lunar day 4 and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Then the sun move to the other side of earth again a few days later, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun again.
This may describe sun miracles in 65 AD when Jerusalem was taken by the Romans. Thus, perhaps the comet Halley that 65 AD.
Halley's comet has a 76 year cycle. However, because its orbit has been affected by Venus, the orbit was not always 76 years but in the 70's of years. The orbit was stable for 300 year periods. Thus, there may be widely different records of comet Halley's appearance than expected further in the past.
Then also a sun miracle on the fourth day of the lunar month and again on the seventh day of the lunar month that appeared as lunar eclipses. A lunar eclipse cannot occur on the fourth or seventh of a lunar month. Only on the 15th of the lunar month can a lunar eclipse occur. Neither can a solar eclipse occur on the fourth or seventh day of the lunar month. Only on the first or last day of the lunar month can a solar eclipse occur. Such an example of a record of a solar eclipse that was not a solar eclipse is September 7, 591 BC.
This was on day 40 of cycle 60 = September 7, 591 BC. No solar eclipses match a day 40 of cycle 60 in any nearby year. Both on the seventh day of the lunar month and a Sabbath was recorded a solar eclipse on day 40 of cycle 60 in China. Then the sun would stand still weakly in the west for 12 hours, the sun travelling 180° east with earth's rotation. Thus, that day would appear a normal 12 hour day in the daily coral line.
Most likely the sun revolved around the earth 360° at the speed of light in 55 minutes = time stopped on the sun and no light from the sun = the sun darkened on Jerusalem at the fall of Jerusalem.
Then the sun would travel 180° west in about an hour, and be brilliant to leave the same daily coral layer, and appear brilliantly in the east.
Thus, in an hour the coral would lay the same line as if it was a normal 12 hours. Thus, the sun's sudden 180° movement would make it disappear in the west and soon brilliantly appear in the east almost as if the sun both appeared in the west and the east at the same time..
Here you see two years of reverse orbit. The wisemen reported to have seen the star of the King of the Jews two years earlier. Perhaps there were two years of reverse orbit to August/September 5 BC when the wisemen saw Arcturus above at midnight and a comet that stood above the home of Joseph and Mary where Jesus was.
The coming destruction came on the seventh day of the fourth month in 70 AD just as it had in 591 BC. Then perhaps a sun miracle in 70 AD and in 66 AD, - a sign of total destruction, as it had in 591 BC. The temple was set fire in darkness, perhaps the darkness of a sudden sunset. There was blood and fire. The 9 day moon would appear in the darkness blood red. Not the slight tinge of red in a lunar eclipse. A real blood red reflection of a red sun on the other side of the earth.
August 4, 70 AD is day 9 of the lunar month Av. One year earlier there is recorded "the moon became blood-red and black and received the other red colours" and there was a comet sighting at the same time as the eclipse. According to Dio Cassius this was on the 4th or 7th of the month. One year earlier is August 4, 69 AD near the new moon. Perhaps more than a sliver of the moon was visible as the sun and moon moved 180° and the comet was rather God's angel the phoenix moving the sun. Thus, the sun could have moved August 4, 69 BC and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Perhaps half an orbit later in February the sun returned, then moved again to the other side of earth. Thus, Titus was impelled to say "I have lost a day" in his campaign to conquer Jerusalem for the Romans.
A comet, perhaps comet swift-tuttle, was observed in China in 69 BC.
See Chambers, J. E. (1995). "The long-term dynamical evolution of Comet Swift–Tuttle". Icarus. Academic Press. 114 (2): 372–386. Bibcode:1995Icar..114..372C. doi:10.1006/icar.1995.1069.
Sometimes, a comet was observed when there was a sun miracle, such as when Lu Yang moved his spear at the setting sun, and the sun rose from the west and passed through three solar mansions.
Also, the accumulated missing time for half a reverse orbit is 24 hours. Then half an orbit later, January 29, 70 AD: "Even darkness did not terminate the struggle." Tacitus - may have signified a long night and sudden sunrise. Then the sun moved back August 4, 70 AD one year later and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. August 4, 70 AD was Saturday, a Sabbath. Probably Jerusalem fell on a Sabbath. Then the sun would fall from the sky and it be dark at noon and the moon would be ashamed because it would be the red colour of blushing.
What was recorded as a solar eclipse in China on lunar day 40, Saturday September 7, 591 BC. Thus, lunar day 40 is really lunar day 10 the following day. The Chinese count from the day the moon passes the sun.
"Evil omens occurred. A comet was seen, and the moon, contrary to precedent, appeared to suffer two eclipses, being obscured on the fourth and on the seventh day. Also people saw two suns at once, one in the west weak and pale, and one in the east brilliant and powerful..At the same time this happened, Vespasian who was engaged in warfare with the Jews,."
Cassius Dio Roman History 65.8.
There cannot be a solar or lunar eclipse on a lunar day four or a lunar day seven. These omens may be sun miracles where God moved the sun 180° both times, and earth flowed out of and into a reverse orbit of the sun.
March 4, 71 AD was a total lunar eclipse especially visible in Israel. This could be the Passover and the record of the moon turning to blood:
Then March 20, 71 AD was a total eclipse right through Greece. This too could be the darkness described by Tacitus at the siege of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem may have fallen in the summer of 71 AD and not the summer of 70 AD.
Then the destruction of Jerusalem be thirty-eight and a half years after Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD and resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD = the life span of Jesus = the summer of 71 AD.
Jesus born about September 12, 7 BC to the destruction of Jerusalem in 71 AD; + 6 years to actually be 77 AD = 2 X 38.5 years. AD, Annos Deos, Year of our Lord.
Other eclipses like the lunar eclipse of April 25, 69 AD were only partial seen from Israel. Thus, 70 AD matches the two eclipses that are recorded together = the lunar eclipse of March 4, 71 AD and the solar eclipse of March 20, 71 AD = within two weeks of each-other, and both well visible from Israel.
Possibly the darkness was when Jerusalem fell about 70 AD that Tacitus wrote about may be a sun miracle like the darkness when Jerusalem fell on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, September 7, 591 BC.
The Hebrews counted from the first appearing of the moon. Thus, day 10 in China is day 9 in Israel.
Then in this darkness a torch was tossed into the temple, and the temple and Jerusalem were destroyed - August 4, 70 AD.
Earth appears to have gone into a reverse orbit at the crossing of the children of Israel over the dry ground of the river Jordan. Six months later on Joshua's long day, the Hebrew states the sun stood still from the half of heaven for Joshua. Then one year after the crossing of the river Jordan the sun must return on the battle of Merom.
Perhaps Israel saw stars from the other half of heaven that night. The Chinese would see a long sunset while the sun stood still at noon in Israel. The Chinese from the time of Joshua state there was a long sunset:
"King Wan was like the sun or the moon. He lightened with his shining the four quarters, -- the western regions."
The Chinese Classics. Books of Chow.
- That is, there was a sun miracle when the sun was setting. The sun may have moved 10° more than 180° to make up for the 40 minutes more missing time that had to be countered by 40 minutes more elapsed time.
Then king Wan would see the sun set and the stars started to come out 6:00 PM February 5, 1239 BC, showing the planets in Scorpius/Fang. Then the sun stood still at noon on Israel for 12 hours moving 180° with earth's rotation. There is a 6 hour difference from Israel to China.
Then sun moved a further 10°, that is 190° in all, and retreated from the 6 PM position on China to the 5:20 PM position. The sun would just barely peak above the western horizon. The six day moon was straight above. Thus, king Wan was clothed in the sun and the moon.
Thus, this accounts for the 10° in the missing day story. The sun retreated 10° from the 6 PM position to the 5:20 PM position. The noon sun in Israel would be a setting sun in China. This must be the year he became king when he fought emperor Wending in 1240 BC or more likely 1239 BC in Wending's 12th year, from his first year on the solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC = this 1239 BC February 5. King Wan's dream appears to be from when he was king in 1239 BC = his 35th year on the lunar eclipse,day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC.
Thus, all these sun miracles that year may cause it to be said in China: "king Wan lightened the western regions" = the noon day sun standing still on Israel.
Sun miracles were a sign to the Chinese for a revolution. Thus, king Wan needed the people to be stirred up to overturn the Shang dynasty. Only February 5, 1239 BC fits all planetary and lunar alignments. The planetary alignment in Fang/Libra may just be where the planets were put during the sun miracle. The Chinese looked for a sun miracle for a sign for a new emperor. There were sun miracles 40 years earlier in Exodus.
"In his, King Wanting, 12th year phoenixes collected on Mount K'e." Note: this was the first year of king Wan = king Wan's dream = the sun returning two years after the crossing of the Jordan and one year after the battle of Merom = February 5, 1239 BC.
For king Wan this was a sign of a new age, a new epoch, a new dynasty. The date of 1122 BC for King Wan's son Wu to become emperor of China was derived by matching the appearing of Jupiter with the stars.
This is best match is the new moon October 16, 1195 BC. The sign was supposed to be in the autumn, like the birth of Abraham, the 17th day of the 7th month, in Huangdi's 50th year from 2656 BC = October 16, 2607 BC. The new moon October 1, 2607 BC was on day 40 of cycle 60. September 1, 2607 BC was the first day of the lunar month - September 22 would be the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the 22nd day of the seventh month = the keatze day, day one of cycle 60; only October should be the seventh month = Jesus' birth. King Wan had the bright appointment of Heaven nine years from 1195 BC to 1186 BC.
Then from the new moon on day one, kea-tsze day both of cycle 60 and the lunar day, are 17 days to the 17th day of the month, like the sun miracle 17th day of the 7th month, October 16, 2607 BC was on day 57 = almost day 60. One year later when the sun must return, October 17, 2606 BC was on day one of cycle 60 = a kea-tsze day. The new moon was one day later, October 18, 2606 BC
This 1195 BC is in even 50's to 45 BC = Jesus' life of 38 years in reverse to 7 BC when Jesus was most probably born. There were many sun miracles in years ending in X45 BC.
1192 BC or 1193 BC was 49 years from year one Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, a 49th year jubile. The date of the Chow or Zhou dynasty is 1174 BC. Lunar dates match the calendar every 19 years. The Chinese cycle of 60 years works with the cycle of 60 days. To move king Wan's first year as king back from 1186 BC to 1240 BC, you have to move the Chow dynasty and Wu back 52 years to 1174 BC from 1122 BC. Then you must move King K'ang back 2 X 60 years from 1006 BC to 1126 BC. Then only 4 years are missing from the Chow dynasty and Wu in 1174 BC to King K'ang in 1126 BC. 7 years for Wu, 37 years for Ching, leaves only these 4 years.
If King K'ang's 24th year was a sun miracle, then from Wu 1174 BC to Ching 1168 BC to K'ang 1133 BC to K'ang's 24th year 1107 BC. Then a sun miracle in 1107 BC = 1100 years before Jesus' birth year in 7 BC.
Likewise, 3 years more for Wending from his twelfth year in 1240 BC, 9 for Wu Yi and 52 for Xin is exactly what the Bamboo Books record in the Chinese Classics to 1174 BC. February 5, 1239 BC, may mark the sun returning one year after Joshua' crossing the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC, and at Joshua's battle at Merom, February 4, 1240 BC, and king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, be King Wending's 12th year when phoenixes appeared on mount K'e and king Wan defeated him. King Wan's first year as king from the victory that day in battle, and the same day as his dream:
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it no longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow p.143, The Chinese Classics.
Chinese new year feast was from the first day to the fifteenth day. Thus, this was during the feast of new year. This Chinese record was of the sixth day moon and the sun. Logically the sun should be setting and the moon brightening in the evening sky above. And that the five planets had a conjunction in Libra/Scorpius in January/February when the sun would be in Aquarius/Pisces - Scorpius would only appear in the east at 10 PM! The 6 day moon must set before Scorpius rises, they cannot be seen together. Scorpius/Fang/Libra must appear in the west at sunset to fit the picture.
Therefore there must be a long sunset. The sun was 90° from Fang/Scorpius in January/February 1240 BC. Indeed, the sun was 90° away from Fang in the first month of Chinese spring for thousands of years!
The sun moved 180° from where it had been that night from Virgo to Aquarius/Pisces. The sun normally was in Aquarius in late January. The six day moon in January/February would normally be in Taurus = sun in Aquarius. Taurus is 180° away from Fang/Scorpius. Thus, the sun and planets moved 180°.
How could Mercury, which is very close to the sun, be 180° away from the sun in Scorpius/Fang to form a 5 planet conjunction? 5 planet conjunctions were associated with sun miracles. Perhaps this was a notable sun miracle to the Chinese. That all the planets appeared in the western quadrant at sunset stood still in the western sky, while they moved 180° with earth's rotation and with the sun, and 12 hours later they appeared about Fang/Libra when the stars finally came out.
The center of the 70° conjunction was Fang or Libra. Moreover, this may be February 5, 1239 BC, and the conjunction be part of a sun miracle where the planets were left behind in Scorpius when the sun moved 180° east.
"King Wan dreamt he was clothed in the sun and moon...on the sixth day of the first month"
A long sunset and the moon stayed directly overhead. Spring began on the new moon. The sixth day of spring the moon is 90° east of the sun. Thus, the moon would be on the eastern horizon above Ajalon when the sun was in the noon position as Joshua would see them if Joshua's long day was August 24, 1241 BC - or August 10, 1241 BC. King Wan's dream was, February 15, 1240 BC - or February 5, 1239 BC, when the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Joshua commanded the moon to stand still in the valley of Ajalon. The valley of Ajalon would seem to be to the west. However, the ravine of the going down of Bethoron is east west. Thus, the sun may have been above Gibeon on Joshua's right and the sixth day moon in the east in the upper Ajalon valley on Joshua's left hand. Ajalon may mean deer or ram field or pillars. Perhaps the moon held in the pillars of the valley of upper Ajalon by Gibeon.
Givat Zeev is built on this location and you can see the first quarter moon about where Joshua saw the moon that day. I passed through Old Gibeon, then headed down and southwest from Givat Zeev down the going down of Bethoron.
Thus, the first quarter moon visible from the Ajalon valley through the descent of Bethoron, that the Israelites descended that day, could explain the use of the words "in the valley of Ajalon"
Joshua's long day and victory can be compared to Jesus' victory over the grave and life's western slope leading to God and Heaven and endless day. Thus Joshua's long day is a type of Heaven and endless day.
You can see the cliffs like pillars with the moon in between. The setting 6 day moon in the east in Israel would be midsky in the west in China.
The key may be an unusual recorded lunar eclipse, September 15, 5 BC. Josephus did not state this was a lunar eclipse. He stated the moon was blood red in response to Herod killing the High Priest. The moon may appear much more red, and more notable, if the sun was also made red so as to leave the same daily coral layer as the sun was moved with earth's rotation to stand still over the Americas, and the moon stood still in the Israel sky.
Job 3:6 "As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months."
Isaiah 13:8 "And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger."
Job 9:6 "Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble."
The night of Jesus' crucifixion was a dark lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse was partial so it would not cause a blood red moon. The lunar eclipse may have lasted 60 hours. If the sun and moon stood still as seen from earth, the sun should be dimmed purple and the moon look blood red as it stood still. Thus, the night was not joined by the day. Thus, the regular time of the night and day had long elapsed before there was morning. Also, earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun that Friday night April 3, 33 AD. Then Saturday night about 9 PM earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun.
So this day Saturday April 4, 33 AD is not really joined with the rest of the reverse orbit year. Moreover, when the earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun, the earth went backwards one day in a regular orbit.
Thus, as far as the movement of the earth in orbit around the sun there is no trace of that Saturday or Friday. Even that Saturday the sun appears to have risen in the west and set in the east.
Here you can see the 17th day of the lunar month was Saturday, September 12, 7 BC. Thus, Jesus may have been circumcised the eighth day, Saturday, September 19, 7 BC.
Assyrian dates must be put back 76 years like the Egyptian chronology, with sun miracles on dates pointing to Jesus:
"The Hurrian-Hittite coalition trounced Assyrian in 1430 BC" = 1507 BC = 1500 years to Jesus' birth. "Eriba-Adad I won independance from Mitanni and launched the Middle Assyrian empire (1392 - 1056 BC)" = 1468 BC = 1500 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Ancient Iraq. p.56.
From the tomb of Horemheb:
"Harakhte, only god, king of the gods; he rises in the west, he sends his beauty.."
King Tut reigned nine years from 1407 BC to 1398 BC. Then Ay reigned four years to 1394 BC.
Horemheb reigned 24 years from about 1394 BC to 1370 BC. Ramses I reigned two years to 1368 BC = 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Wuding was emperor in China from this 1394 BC 50 years to 1343 BC and there were many astronomical records written on oracle bones during his reign.
The sun may have risen in the west on Egypt during the reign of Horemheb.
There may have been a sun miracle on 1345 BC = 38 years to 1307 BC. There may have been a sun miracle 49 years earlier in this 1394 BC. Both dates of sun miracles may have been omens for the emperor of China and the Pharaoh of Egypt.
Thus, these dates work when we add the 76 years, because Pharaoh Merneptah died in 1281 BC not 1205 BC = 76 years earlier. Thus, Pharaoh Akhenaten would have died in 1407 BC, then KIng Tut 18 years, and Ay four years, then Horemheb 14 years. Often God moved the sun in even 100's, that is X07 BC, to 7 BC and even 100's, that is X68 BC, to 33 AD.
Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in 1407 BC, 1400 years before Christ in 7 BC, whereupon it may have been taken as an omen and King Tut may have been assassinated in 1398 BC. Then four years of Ay to 1394 BC. Then Horemheb reigned 24 years to 1370 BC, to Ramses I. This record of the sun rising in the west must have occurred just a few years before, or during, when Horemheb became Pharaoh.
Seti I must have reigned from 1368 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in this 1368 BC, 1400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, when Seti I was made Pharaoh.
The first year of emperor Wuding in China, 1393 BC in the 4th and last year of Pharaoh Ay.
A sun miracle when Seti I became Pharaoh perhaps on a sun miracle in 1368 BC to point to Jesus' sacrifice. A sun miracle in the reign of Horemhem from 1385 BC to 1370 BC where the sun may have rose in the west and set in the east and perhaps a sudden sunrise in the east just as there may have been on Jesus' resurrection, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
In a wall painting Horemheb offers wine to Osirus, in case the sun does not shine and the moon does not rise and Horemheb not pass to the netherworld. This was the picture years later when there was three days of darkness in Egypt just before the Passover.
In the same year of 60, 31 of cycle 60, Seaou-sin became emperor in 1407 BC. 120 years further back from 1286 BC. Thus, a sun miracle in 1407 BC may have been the omen to make Seaou-sin emperor of China. Wuding appears as the Chinese emperor in 1393 BC, 50 years later in 1344 BC = X45 BC years - the 38 years of Jesus' life backwards to 7 BC; to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC:
"In his (Wooting's) 29th year (1365 BC), at the supplementary sacrifice in the Grand ancestral temple, a pheasant made its appearance."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.136.
The pheasant was connected to the phoenix. Thus, this could be a record of a sun miracle about 1368 BC, 1400 years before Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD.
Wuding moved the capitol to Anyang when he became emperor about 1393 BC = 1273 BC + 120 years. Often the capitol was moved because of an omen. Thus, a sun miracle in 1407 BC could have been the omen for Wuding to move the capitol.
This year during Wuding's 50 year reign, on day 31 of cycle 60, there was an oracle bone record of a lunar eclipse, June 29, 1368 BC visible from China. Sunday, March 1, 1368 BC was day 31 of cycle 60, and the 14th day of the lunar month. Tuesday, March 3, day 33 of cycle 60, was the day of the Passover.
Here you see the June 29, 1368 BC Lunar Eclipse:
Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee."
Like wise there appears to be darkness when Jerusalem is burned, August 4, 70 AD on the seventh of Av, and when Jerusalem is taken into captivity Saturday, September 7, 591 BC on the seventh of Av, the fifth month = the solar eclipse record of Halys in the fifth month.
Now for the record of the lunar eclipse, September 15, 5 BC: Perhaps there was a sudden sunrise after the angels appeared to the shepherds on Jesus' birth. Job uttered these words in Job 3:6 of the day of his birth for the suffering he went through. How much more Jesus suffered. There is record of a lunar eclipse the night after the fast when the High Priest Matthias asked his kinsman to stand in for him at the temple because of an unholy dream. Josephus records the moon was blood red.
"Now it happened, that during the time of the high priesthood of this Matthias, there was another person made high priest for a single day, that very day in which the Jews observed as a fast. The occasion was this: This Matthias the high priest, on the night before the day when the fast was to be celebrated, seemed in a dream, to have conversation with his wife; and because he could not officiate himself on that account, Joseph, the son of Ellemus, his kinsman, assisted him in that sacred office. But Herod deprived this Matthias of the high priesthood, and burnt the other Matthias, who had raised the sedition, with his companions, alive. And that very night there was an eclipse of the moon."
Josephus. p.1914.
Right after the tenth day of the seventh month, the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, when the High Priest officiated the fast; five days later, September 15, 5 BC, was the full moon and lunar eclipse:
Here is the mistaken date for the lunar eclipse on March 13, 4 BC for the Passover. The Passover is not a fast, and the High Priest does not go into the Holy of Holies at the Passover, but on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month, in September.
If the sun moved to the other side of the earth on Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC, the sun may move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun two and a half orbits later this March 13, 4 BC.
This does not mean a typical lunar eclipse. "The moon that night was red from the blood of the murdered rabbins." This rather indicates a sun miracle when the moon standing still in the sky, with the sun, should appear blood red. The date of the lunar eclipse, September 15, 5 BC, must be the date of Josephus's blood red moon a few days after Yom Kippur.
Luke 2:7 "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
Job 38:6 "Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
The word for room at the inn simply is the word for room, a room of a house, any house. The feast of Booths was from the 15th day of the month to the 22nd day. Jesus being born on the 17th day of the month at the feast of tabernacles when the Jewish people kept the feast of booths, the Jewish people would sleep outside and not have any stay in a room of their house. Even the animals would be outside. Thus, the shepherds watching their flock.
Lambing season, January, was 144 days after breeding season, August/September. There were many sun miracles in January recorded in China. Many people think the shepherds were watching over the sheep in lambing season, thus Jesus' birth be in January.
However, there are reasons to think the shepherds were watching over the sheep in September.
See The Season of Jesus' Birth
There is often a foot of snow in December in Israel and Jordan. See Snow in Israel. Pipes freeze and burst. Shepherds could not be watching their flock in freezing snow. Thus, December 25 cannot be when Jesus was born.
This was the feast of tabernacles when everyone was supposed to spend the night outside. Thus, the shepherds and sheep outside, and there was no room in the inn because everyone was supposed to be outside the eight days of the feast of booths.
For this Herod had Matthias' wife's brother made High Priest. This suggests the lunar eclipse was a night a few days after the day of Atonement - the only time the High Priest went into the Holiest of Holies. The day of Atonement day 9 of the lunar month. The feast of tabernacles day 15 and full moon = time of a lunar eclipse. Herod was so disgusted he had this High Priest executed. Another Matthias had the Roman gold eagle removed from the temple. He too was executed.
Josephus does not state there was a lunar eclipse. He stated the moon was blood red in response to Herod killing the High Priests. Then if the moon was really red this must be a sun miracle at the time of the lunar eclipse. There is the possibility Herod had killed the boys of Bethlehem two years old and under about this time. Thus, the blood moon may have appeared for them also.
Matthew 2:16 "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men."
There is the possibility this eclipse was at the same time a sun miracle blood moon. A sun miracle a red sun reflected in a blood moon like the one the night of Jesus' crucifixion. That night the moon was recorded as blood red. Only the moon did not shine all the night because of the lunar eclipse at moon rise, April 3, 33 AD. The wise men from the east who came to worship the Christ may have come to Jerusalem just prior to the blood red moon. Then Jesus' birth two year earlier on the same date should have been noted.
Perhaps the execution of a High Priest and another prominent priest was the reason the day of the birth of Christ was not regarded.
Two years earlier from this date is September 12, 7 BC, a few days after the blowing of trumpets for the feast of tabernacles, and the new year.
Also, because this was the feast of booths, animals were also to be outside. Thus, the shepherds watching their sheep. Thus, perhaps the shepherds watching their sheep found Jesus in the manger on during the feast of booths September 12, 7 BC. Thus, there was no room at the inn because everyone was supposed to be sleeping in booths during the feast of booths.
The word for inn is simply a spare room in a house. During the feast of booths from the 15th day of the seventh month to the 22nd day everyone, including animals, were to sleep outside in booths. Thus, Jesus' birth in the 17th day of the seventh month would be during this feast of booths.
Sheep are bred in the pasture in August and September. There may have been a sudden sunrise on this night = Arcturus normally disappearing in the west at sunset in September would now rise in the east at sunset and be directly overhead at midnight = the star the wise men saw two years before they came to worship him.
In September the shepherds watch their sheep because this is the breeding season.
Luke 3:23 "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,"
Jesus, if born about September 12, 7 BC would be turning 35 years old at the time of Luke 3:23, September 17, 29 AD. Thus, Jesus would have begun to be about 30 years of age as he began to be 35 years of age.
The Greek reads Jesus "began to be as if in the decade of thirty years." Then Jesus would have been turning 35 when he stood up to quote Isaiah 61, on Rosh Hashanah, or Yom Kippur. Jesus would have been 34 when he was baptized by John before his birthday in August/September when he would turn 35. Luke states Jesus was in his 30th decade, not his 30th year. Thus, Jesus was 35 when he went into the ministry and lived till the crucifixion three and a half years later.
Jesus would turn 35 on the 17th day of the seventh month on September 17, 29 AD beginning the jubile year 50, Yom Kippur, Friday/Saturday September 9, 29 AD or Friday/Saturday October 7, 29 AD.
The civil new year began with the day of Atonement in August/September. Historically this marked the conquest of Joshua about the same seventh month. Joshua's long day must have been the 21st day of the seventh month. Thus, Yom Kippur is Israel's national holiday. Thus, the spiritual new year is in March/April = the month of the Passover, and the civil/government new year in August/September = the end of the year, the ingathering of fruits.
Jesus' name is actually Joshua. The conquest of Joshua on August 10, 1241 BC was like the the great day, the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the 21st day of the seventh month. The first day of the seventh month was Rosh Hashanah when the new year in the civil calendar would begin. But the new year began on Yom Kippur the tenth day of the seventh month on a jubile year. Jesus returned from fasting for forty days and had victory over the devil and on the tenth day of this the seventh month, Yom Kippur he spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, on September 9, 29 AD or on October 7, 29 AD.
Seven more days from the tenth day was the 17th day of the seventh month when Jesus began his ministry on his 35th birthday, may have symbolised the 17th day of the seventh month when Jesus was born.
There was a sun miracle recorded in China in 29 AD, perhaps in August/September for the Big Dipper to point up at midnight and Arcturus overhead, instead of down, as it must have at Jesus' birth. Thus, this would be the same sign to Israel the Messiah was now a man as it was to the wise men when Jesus was born.
Exodus 40:1 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail."
See the 10th day of the seventh month was Sunday, September 8, 1280 BC. Sunday, the first day of the week and the first day of the month. The Hebrew new year was counted from the seventh month about September.
Or the tabernacle was set up in the seventh month beginning the new year the new moon the new week on Sunday, September 9, 1281 BC.
Friday/Saturday September 9, 29 AD, or Friday October 7, 29 AD, would be the tenth day of the moon = Yom Kippur. Sunday, August 28, 29 AD would be the new moon. Thus, the first day of the week, the first day of the first month of the Hebrew civil calendar and new years the tenth day of the seventh month, October 7. 29 AD.
However, the new year began the 10th day of the seventh month, the day of Atonement when only the High Priest could go into the sanctuary. This should be September 20, 1281 BC. Then if the sun moved back on this date half an orbit later, that may be from the three days of darkness, the ninth plague of Egypt. Three days before the Passover may have been the new moon March 15, 1281 BC. Then 187 days later was Yom Kippur September 20, 1281 BC.
Nehemiah 8:2 "And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month."
New Years began on the first day of the seventh month. But on a jubile year, New Years began on Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month.
Then perhaps the wise men came from the east possibly in the seventh month, September of 5 BC. Then Arcturus would pass directly above Bethlehem at midnight. In September 2,000 years ago normally Arcturus is pointing straight down at midnight. However, with earth now in a reverse orbit, Arcturus would be rising in the east at sunset and pass directly overhead in September. Perhaps Herod slew the children Bethlehem two and under in 5 BC when it had already been two years since the sun miracle Saturday, September 12, 7 BC or Sunday, September 13, 7 BC.
John the Baptist may have been conceived about June, 8 BC, and born the following Passover. the Passover possibly March 26, 8 BC, then count 8 weeks to Saturday May 17, 8 BC, and allow a few weeks to return home.
The course of Abiathar was the 8th week from the Passover, thus John the Baptist may have been conceived in June of 8 BC and be born in March of 7 BC.
This first day of the first month may be Sunday, April 7, 1280 BC. Perhaps the Israelites added their 13th month Adar. Then the moon's first visibility may have been Saturday night the beginning of the first day. Thus, the temple was raised on the first day of the week and the first day of the month. The context suggests this day is in spring not September. The year before, the fist day of the first month, the new moon, may have been the ninth plague, the three days of darkness.
There must be an Adar 2 added that year. In 1281 BC the new moon of the first month was March 15. Then the next year there must be two months of Adar, a month added to correct the year.
In Japan they recorded 9 suns together February 10, 9 BC = the full moon, February 10, 8 BC = the new moon. Perhaps the sun moved February 10, 9 BC, then moved back on the new moon February 10, 8 BC. Then a sun miracle may have occurred when the sun returned one year later also.
"The Kumanso people were prospering, until nine Suns were seen in the sky, followed by great Ch'aous." February 10, 9 BC.
Wonders in the Sky, p.45 - Brothers Magazine (Japan) No.III, 1964 - did not provide a quote from an actual source.
Half an orbit after February 10, 9 BC = the 17th day of the 12th month, is the new moon August 15, 9 BC when the sun may return.
February 10, 9 BC is day 6 of cycle 60. 9 BC is also year 56 of cycle 60. Day ji si = 6, year ji wei = 56. This may be a sun miracle two and a half years before Jesus' birth.
If this was year 58 = xin you = 7 BC to match Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC three and a half years later = day 6 of cycle 60, March 10, 3 BC.
Or February 10, 9 BC is lunar day 17. Thus, half an orbit after Jesus' birth, lunar day 17, September 12, 7 BC = 180 days later, half an orbit later, lunar day 17, March 10, 6 BC in the seven days of the Passover.
Friday, August 15, 7 BC, = day 17 of the 7th month, is two and a half orbits = 2 X 365 days + 186 days, after this February 10, 9 BC.
Noah's flood: the 17th day of the 7th month, should be Friday, August 16, 3307 BC.
The Koreans have a festival Chu Suk meaning big center from a book written in 32 AD by Kim Bu Sik. It is a festival of the night that lasts three days that falls about this August 15, the full moon August 9, 32 AD, the last quarter moon Friday, August 15, 32 AD. The last quarter moon would be rising in China after sunset on Israel. This is a festival of the moon at night and this would be midnight in China. The moon would look blood red from China. The Chinese counted the days after the solstices and before the equinoxes. Also, August 15 cannot be mistaken because it is about the center of the Chinese year.
Arphaxad was born two years after the flood. A sun miracle in February like the sun miracle two weeks before the flood in 3307 BC = two years after 9 BC Jesus was born September 12, 7 BC.
Genesis 8:12 "And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more."
The "other seven days" equals two weeks. The fourteenth day of this first month should be the Passover. Thus, these dates of Noah's flood in Genesis 8 point to Jesus' birth and his sacrifice.
Thus, the sun should move two weeks before Noah's flood = the two weeks before the flood in the olls, Saturday, February 8, 3307 BC; the sun return the 17th day of the 7th month, Saturday, September 14, 3307 BC and the sun move to the other side of earth and earth flow again into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then, one year later, on the full moon = two weeks = the Passover = Sunday, February 9, 3306 BC, the sun return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Or March 10 = 4 days before the Passover. This could be the week Zarcharias, the father of John the Baptist, served in the temple = when John the Baptist was born six months before Jesus:
Luke 1:77 "To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
"hath visited us" reads "shall visit us". The sun miracle then would be at the birth of Jesus, not John.
There may have been a sun miracle when John the Baptist was born. Almost certainly there was a sun miracle six months later when Jesus was born.
Mary may have conceived Jesus of the Holy Ghost December 12, 8 BC = Jesus born September 12, 7 BC.
"11th month (December 8 BC) Liu Ao decreed to appoint Wang Mang to the Commander-in-chief; he was 38 years of age this year."
Wars with the Xiongnu, p.440.
There may be 38 years between sun miracles to mark the 38 years of Jesus perfect life. Wang Mang's birth on a sun miracle may have been an omen for the Chinese to promote him to be King. Thus, a sun miracle may have been the omen to kill Julius Caesar on the full moon = Passover = March 15, 45 BC = 38 years before Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
A sun miracle may have marked Mary's conception of Jesus' in December of 8 BC whereupon Wang Mang was appointed.
Zacharias may have spoken of a sun miracle the day John the Baptist was born, six months before Jesus = half an orbit before Jesus, and his tongue loosed and prophesied of a sun miracle when Jesus would be born 6 months later, September 12, 7 BC.
The Wisemen must have understood the sun miracle that signified Jesus' birth when the star, probably Arcturus, first appeared overhead at midnight in September. Perhaps the first sun miracle was September 12, 7 BC at Jesus' birth. Herod died March 30, 4 BC, almost two and a half years after Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC.
Thus, the sun may have moved back March 14, 4 BC on the lunar eclipse and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun at that time. Then the first sun miracle may possibly have been three years earlier at the birth of John the Baptist on the Passover, March 16, 7 BC.
Then the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. The night, two years after Jesus was born, may be at the time of the lunar eclipse on which Herod killed the High Priest Matthias just a day after the day of Atonement. Thus, the lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC, was recorded because it lasted so long, and the moon turned blood red reflecting a dimmed red sun standing still on the other side of the earth, likened to the executions just a day previous, and the events associated with it.
If this was the date of Jesus' birth two years earlier September 12, 7 BC, what happened to the High Priest two years later may be reason the day was not regarded. Herod may have been mad at that time because the wise men had gone back another way. Thus, he slew the high priest and the children of Bethlehem about the same time.
Sun miracles must be associated with Jesus' birth and the appearing of Arcturus above at midnight Sunday September 12, 7 BC.
7 BC Cheng died. He was succeeded by his nephew Emperor Ai of Han. A sun miracle at Jesus' birth in 7 BC and China changed emperors because of the omen.
"Emperor Cheng of Han, 1st year of the Yuanyan period, 7th month, day xinwei [8] (June 15, 12 BC or July 21, 5 BC. 5 BC is year 60 of cycle 60). There was a fuzzy star in DONGING [LM] which then trod through WUZHUHOU. It [re-] appeared to the north of HESHU and skirted XUANYUAN and TAI WEI. Afterward it traveled more than 6 du daily, appearing at dawn in the east. On the evening of the 13th day from July 21, (August 3, 5 BC on the new moon - thus the comet was visible at sunset) it appeared in the west.
Thus, if this star guided the wisemen, it could pass Arcturus at midnight when Arcturus passed directly over Bethlehem, and stand still above Bethlehem moving west to east with earth's rotation until the wisemen entered the house of Joseph and Mary. It trespassed against CIFEI, CHANGQUI, DOU (DUO is The Big Dipper and Arcturus), Saturn (perhaps 180° from where it normally would be in Taurus) may have been in Libra beside Arcturus in the east at sunset with the sun in Pisces in August 31, 5 BC.
Often records were not written down in China when they occurred, but years later after the death of the King. This King died in 7 BC. The Chinese changed emperors when there was a sun miracle. Thus, the star of the wisemen that appeared two years before they came to worship Jesus in September 5 BC, could be Arcturus. If the sun was moved to the other side of the earth in September, Arcturus would appear directly above at midnight.
Then with the King of China dead, astronomical records could be written down.
Emperor Cheng died suddenly in 7 BC. There may have been a sun miracle, Omen, and perhaps Cheng was assassinated, when Jesus was born.
Thus, when the record would be written down of the appearance of the comet Halley in 12 BC seven years later in 5 BC, the movement of the star of the east of the wisemen in 5 BC may have been recorded instead. Thus, the record of comet Halley in 12 BC, may have been recorded in 5 BC. Then the movements of the star that guided the wisemen may have been recorded in 5 BC instead of comet Halley in 12 BC.
The comet may rise in the west at sunset July 21, 5 BC. By September 5 BC, Arcturus would rise in the east at sunset to pass directly over Bethlehem at midnight. Then in September the comet travelled west to east. Thus, the night the wisemen came to Bethlehem, the comet may join Arcturus above Bethlehem at midnight.
Then as the wisemen approached Bethlehem and Arcturus passed over to the west, the comet passing west east may stand still above Bethlehem with earth's rotation till the wisemen entered the house of Joseph and Mary.
"It pointed its rays again penetrated to the middle of ZIGONG, with DAHUO right behind. It reached TIANHE (The MILKY WAY), sweeping across the area of FEI and HUO. It departed southward, crossing and trespassing against DAJIAO and SHETI. When it reached TIANSHI it proceeded slowly at a measured pace. Its rays entered TIANSHI. After a further 10 days it departed westward.
On the 56th day (September 15, 5 BC when the sun must return at the lunar eclipse = blood red moon reflecting a red sun as it moved with earth's rotation the night Herod executed the High Priests) it passed from view together with CANGLONG."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, [Han shu. Wuxing zhi] ch. 27Here you see the English names to the constellations comet Halley passed through: "In the first year of Yuan Yen, in the Autumn the seventh month, on the day Sing Wei (day 8 of cycle 60), the comet swept in Gemini, went through Pollox and Castor and passed over Leo and Virgo. It was then behind the sun six degrees and appeared in the east earlier in the morning. After 13 days on the new moon the comet became an evening star shining in the west, whence it swept over Arcturus, moved slowly to Serpens and reached Ophiuchus. After 56 days it disappeared in Scorpius."
The fact Halley's comet swept over Arcturus, in this summer of 12 BC, the comet may have passed directly in front of Arcturus - and thus the comet could point to Jesus' birth five years later, when Arcturus would pass directly over Bethelem at midnight about September 12, 7 BC and September 12, 5 BC.
The path of the comet can also work with the sun on the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit. The comet may have been in the west in Gemini about August 3 BC. The sun should have appeared to move from Gemini in earth's reverse orbit August 3 towards Pisces. Then the comet would move west east, meaning by September 1, the comet would rise in the east with Arcturus. Then the night the wise men saw the star in the east, perhaps Arcturus, they may have seen the comet and Arcturus overhead. Then Arcturus would pass overhead as earth rotates. But the comet could stand still above the house of Joseph and Mary and Jesus.
The comet was moving toward Scorpius by September 15, 5 BC. Thus, both the comet and Arcturus may have guided the wise men to Jesus. Thus, the record the star stood above the home of Joseph and Mary.
Thus, the record the comet swept over Arcturus to Scorpius. The sun would then be in Pisces in the beginning of September.
The sun may have moved back to Virgo, 180° from Pisces, at the same time as the lunar eclipse was to occur on September 15, 5 BC.
Thus, there could be a 12 hour longer night, and perhaps a long lunar eclipse = the blood moon Josephus wrote of the priests Herod killed that day.
With earth in the reverse orbit, the sun would move east 8 minutes each day. Thus, half way, 90 days from the spring equinox, from Virgo, the sun would be in Gemini. The sun normally is in Gemini in June. But earth is in a reverse orbit, the sun appearing next in Taurus, Airies, Pisces. By the time the sun is in Pisces, Arcturus is directly above Bethlehem at midnight in September of 5 BC.
Next, this comet would appear just above the sun on the new moon June 22, 5 BC. The comet would also appear higher in the western sky after sunset each day. Then, about the time the wisemen inquired where the Messiah should be born from the priests in Jerusalem, this comet may pass directly overhead at midnight. Arcturus, also would pass directly overhead at midnight.
Next, that night when the wisemen departed Jerusalem, they may see the comet in the east. Arcturus would pass directly overhead at midnight. The comet may pass Arcturus and move so as to stand still directly above Bethlehem to show the wisemen the home of Joseph and Mary. The wisemen may use a device such as a jade sighting tube as the astronomers of China, He and Ho that Yao sent in 2315 BC. Joseph and Mary should still be in Bethlehem in their house two years after Jesus was born.
Thus, the comet first appearing just above the sun at sunset June 22, 5 BC. The comet appearing higher, that is moving east ward rather than westward, each sunset because earth was in a reverse orbit. Thus, the comet would appear higher just because of that. By September the comet would appear with Arcturus, which rose in the east at sunset.
The night the wisemen saw the comet/star, they rejoiced and followed the star till it stood above Bethlehem = Arcturus. Then, the comet that was with Arcturus, would continue to stand directly 90° above while Arcturus went on to set in the west. The comet must continue in the same direction, only sped up to pass a whole sign, perhaps Leo, to appear to stand still directly above while the wisemen sought Jesus.
Then the sun would move 180° back to Virgo from Pisces September 15, 5 BC on the blood moon after the death of the High Priests by Herod, on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement.
Numbers 24:17 "I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth."
The Star out of Jacob may be Arcturus in Bootes the Shepherd.
The sun would have moved to the other side of earth on Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC = Arcturus above at midnight, and the sun would return September 15, 7 BC = the blood moon, and not just a lunar eclipse, described by Josephus.
The star the wisemen saw in the east must be Arcturus = the sun had been moved to the other side of earth September 12, 7 BC, and Arcturus normally setting with the sun in the west, would rather be rising in the east at sunset, and be directly above Bethlehem at midnight.
Arcturus would pass directly overhead at Bethlehem at midnight.
The date given was 12 BC in the 76 year cycle of Halley's comet. John Hind made at least one or two mistakes in matching comet records with comet Halley.
"According to Dr. E. Jerry Vardaman, the census under Caesar Augustus was taken every 17 years in the provinces (the occupied territories, including Israel). He places the first census under Quirinius in 12 B.C., 17 years before the second census of A.D. 6 (Chronos, Kairos, Christos, p. 305)"
However, in the book Augustus, Adrian Goldsworthy states there is no record of the Roman census. Nevertheless, Herod would need some way of assessing taxes. There was a census in Gaul in 27 BC, 12 BC and 14 AD. There was a Roman census of Quirinus in Judaea in 6 AD which was remembered as a traumatic event.
"Augustus was not a man to be daunted by death and bereavement, and the business of government did not pause. A census was held and the Senate list revised, once again ... In 7 BC, Augustus' powers were renewed, this time for ten years,"
The life of Rome's First Emperor, Augustus, p.278.
"The plebiscite Lex Pacuvia de mense augusto renamed Sextilis Augustus (August) in 8 BC."
Wikipedia
Thus, the census in Israel August/September 7 BC.
The census of Augustus in 7 BC in the Bible in August / September makes perfect sense.
Thus, Herod would know he called for a census in Bethlehem in 7 BC. Then when he inquired of the wisemen of when the star appeared that it was two years previous that 5 BC. That would equal this 7 BC and Herod would know that this was the Christ of Bethlehem.
Then Jesus may have been born about September 7, 12 BC, = lunar day 17 of the seventh month, and may have begun his ministry when he was 40. Then the ghost record of comet Hailey in 10 BC could be the star that led the wisemen to Jesus when Jesus was two years old.
Nevertheless, all the dates point to Jesus being born September 12, 7 BC.
Acts 7:22 "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

Acts 7:36 "He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years."
Signs are omens. Sun miracles like the three days of darkness in Exodus are omens pointing to Jesus.

Joshua would be 80 years old on Joshua's long day.
Jesus was 38 years old, almost 40. Thus, the words "Thou art not yet fifty years old".
Genesis 22:10 "And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son."
Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen."
Genesis 23:1 "And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah."
Isaac was born when Sarah was ninety years old and died in this next chapter after Abraham went to slay his son and saw the day God would send his son.
Abraham lived 38 more years after Sarah's death. Sarah 90 and Abraham 100 when Isaac was born. Abraham was 138 years old when he went to offer up Isaac. Abraham lived 38 more years to 175 years.
Thus, the Jews should have known the Messiah would live to 38 years old. And also there are many Kings of Israel that lived or reigned 38 years as well, and many sun miracles are 38 years apart.
Joshua was about forty when he went with the eleven others to spy out the land. Joshua said "Let us go up at once!" But the people rebelled, and had to wait another forty years. Thus, Joshua was about the same age as Jesus then, 38 years and a half, when Jesus entered Jerusalem and was crucified.
Joshua was about eighty when he crossed the river Jordan, and conquered the Promised Land. Joshua was a type of Jesus, having the same name. Thus, the Jewish people may have expected the Messiah to be an old man when he would appear in Jerusalem.
Jesus may have been born in 12 BC and be turning 40, not 30, when he began his ministry. Then he would be seven years old when his parents Joseph and Mary returned to Galilee from Egypt after Herod died in 4 BC.
Exodus 30:23 "Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, "
Perhaps there were sun miracles to mark 500 and 250 years before Jesus' birth and the resuming of building the second temple in 507 BC, 500 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
And many 50 year cycles of sun miracles, such as Huangdi's first year in 2657 BC and his 50th year in 2607 BC.
In 257 BC the last king of the Zhou dynasty King Nan was in a panic and lost the battle. History does not say why the king was in panic.
From the begin date of the Armenian Sothis 5368 BC are 5000 years + 365 years + 3 years of Jesus' ministry, to Jesus' birth in September 7 BC.
The Egyptian Sothis began again 4198 BC or 4203 BC, 1460 years before it began again in 2737 BC or 2741 BC. Then the 800 after years of Adam may count as 800 years before the sothis in 4198 BC. Then 4198 BC back 800 years is 5000 BC, perhaps 5007 BC. Then there may be a significance in the number 5000 as well as the number 500. Perhaps from Adam in 5007 BC, half so much, Isaac born in 2507 BC.
Nevertheless, the Armenian Sothis calendar appears to be in use at least up to Noah's flood in 3307 BC.
Perhaps the second temple restarted builiding in 507 BC. Half so much in 257 BC, the last king of the Zhou dynasty King Nan was in a panic and lost the battle. History does not say why the king was in panic.
From the begin date of the Armenian Sothis 5372 BC are 5000 years + 365 years to Jesus' birth in September 7 BC.
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC fits chronological records the best.
Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."
This should be 52 days from Sunday July 9, 458 BC to Tuesday, August 29, 458 BC. Or 52 days from Thursday, July 6, 458 BC to Sunday, August 27, 458 BC.
Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 to fulfill the jubile on the 10th day of the seventh month, Friday, September 9, 29 AD. Then the first day of that month = the same August 29.
There was a record of a comet and asteroid in Greece in 468 BC. However, the Greece dates are 10 years too far back. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in 458 BC when the wall was completed, the sun moving to the other side of earth and meteorites swept into the path of earth, and perhaps debris from a comet. The comet if in 5 BC appeared 56 days from July 20, day 8 of cycle 60, to September 15, day 4 of cycle 60.
Then a few days after the wall was finished was Rosh Hashanah the first day of the seventh month, the beginning of the year, a 49th year jubile year. The full moon on the 15th day, and thus the feast of tabernacles, began September 15, 458 BC just as the full moon and lunar eclipse September 15, 5 BC.
Moses went up to the mount Sinai to receive the commandments the second time in the month Elul.
Counting from the seventh Chinese month, day 8 of cycle 60, July 21, 5 BC = day 17 of the lunar month. If Jesus' birthday two years after September 12, 7 BC, was July 21, 5 BC, then two years after he was circumcised would be lunar day 25, July 28, 5 BC. Then his mother Mary would have purified herself 33 days. This 33rd day would be the new moon October 24 the first day of the 9th month Kilsev. The 17th day of the seventh month plus 41 days is the first day of Kilsev 17 + 41 = 58 days, two lunar months of 29 days. This would also be the last day of the month of Bul.
1 Kings 6:38 "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
The blood moon may not have been a naturally occurring lunar eclipse, but a red moon reflecting red light from a red sun.
The red colour of the sun may have been a result of the wave length of light needed to leave the same daily coral line as it normally would. Thus, the comet should disappear this day also because the sun had moved and there was no way to make this comet continue in Scorpius when the sun returned 180°. This was a red blood moon, a reflection of a red sun, not just a natural lunar eclipse, September 15, 5 BC.
Leviticus 12:2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled."
Nehemiah 4:2 "And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?"
From the time the wall was completed to Jesus' sacrifice was 490 years, 10 times 49 year jubiles. There may have been a long day to hasten the building of the wall. " will they make an end in a day?"
Then there is the possibility the sun reversal for Lu Yang in battle was the year of his death and not the year of his appointment to be duke. Chinese autumn begins in August. Lu Yang was fighting in autumn when the sun rose in the west. The sun rose in the west in China and passed through three solar mansions.
There are twelve constellations for the twelve months of the year. Thus, three mansions is 90° = the sun rose in the west to the meridian = noon position.
Thus, if the sun passed through three constellations it would rise in the west to the meridian, 12 signs = 360° 3 signs = 90° = the sun rose in the west to stand at the meridian = noon. Chinese hours were two of our ours. Then six signs = 360° and 3 signs = 180° = the sun pass through 180° of the stars noted at sunset.
The sun must move in increments of 180° for earth to flow into or out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The wall of Jerusalem was finished on the 25th of Elul, August/September. The dedication of the altar, according to I Maccabee 4:50 was on the 25th of Cheslev, December 13, 164 BC when the sun rose in the west to the meridian on China.
Likewise as recorded in 2 Maccabees 1:18 the altar was dedicated by Nehemiah on the 25th of Chislev, November 25, 458 BC or December 24, 458 BC = the sun rose in the west to the meridian in China as recorded by Lu Yang. Luh Ching perhaps is Lu Yang who died in emperor Yuang's 10th year from 467 BC = 458 BC.
"In his fourth year, in the eleventh month, Kow-ts'een, the viscount of Yueh, known as Tan-chih, died and was succeeded by his son, Luh-ch'ing."
The Chinese Classics. p.166.
The Character Luh is like Lu (Yang) and Kelin phoenix like angels.
Here you see a phoenix called Luan, perhaps the same as Lu Yang, that is the same as the charater for Lu:
On the right column, the top red character beside Lu Yang, depicts a bird above the sun like a phoenix. This one character on top is almost identical to the one character for Luan.
Here again you can see the same text:
"In his seventh year there was a Kelin." The bottom character is the Kelin:
The Kelin has one horn as does the unicorn as does "Luh". The Kelin has two parts. On the left in white the creature the goat with the horn on top, and on the right in black the pronouciation sounds like the Chinese word for rice. The sun angel, the Griffin, in Greece also had one horn.
The dragon that moved the sun was called the Lo or the Long.
Luh Ching in battle = Lu Yang in battle, in this fourth year from 467 BC = January/February 464 BC = Esther and the feast of Purim on Adar 13.
Haggai 2:20 "And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;"
Maccabee 4:52 "They rose early on the morning of the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, that is, the month of Kislev, in the year one hundred and forty-eight,*
4:53 and offered sacrifice according to the law on the new altar for burnt offerings that they had made."
From the 14th day, six months later is the 25th lunar day, when the sun may move back.
The sun may have moved on the full moon of the 14th of the third month to move back on the 25th of the ninth month.
Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."
The sun may have moved on the full moon on the 14th of Adar the twelf month to move back on the 25th of the sixth month Elul.
In the year one hundred forty-eight is 164 BC + 148 years = from 312 BC = the year the day the shadow lengthened more than ten cubits and rose one cubit in China.
Counting from the death of Alexander the Great in 312 BC, and not 323 BC, are 148 years to Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC.
"In his (King Yin's) second year, 312 BC, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit. Wei made Chang E its prime minister."
The Chinese Classics
2 Maccabee 1:18* "Since we shall be celebrating the purification of the temple on the twenty-fifth day of the month Kislev,d we thought it right to inform you, that you too may celebrate the feast of Booths and of the fire that appeared when Nehemiah, the rebuilder of the temple* and the altar, offered sacrifices.
1:19 For when our ancestors were being led into captivity in Persia,* devout priests at the time took some of the fire from the altar and hid it secretly in the hollow of a dry cistern, making sure that the place would be unknown to anyone.
1:20 Many years later, when it so pleased God, Nehemiah, commissioned by the king of Persia, sent the descendants of the priests who had hidden the fire to look for it."
2 Maccabee 15:20 "And now, when as all looked what should be the trial, and the enemies were already come near, and the army was set in array, and the beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set in wings,
15:21 Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:
15:22 Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand:
15:23 Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them;
15:24 And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended thus."
The sun retreated ten steps on the sun dial = at least 90° from the noon position to the beginning, most likely ten hours from the sunset in the west to the sunrise in the east = the sun set in the east at the time of Sennecherib's war with Hezekiah in 703 BC.
Then the sun rose from the sunset position in Israel, past the noon position in Israel = the sun rose in the west on China = noon Israel, and set in the east in Israel = noon China on Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC in just the same way.
All three times the same sun miracle, 703 BC, 458 BC and 164 BC were in the 49th year jubile from 1241 BC.
The prayer of Maccabee was answered as the prayer of Isaiah and Nehemiah and Joshua.
For the sun to move 180° presently, at under the speed of light, it would take at least thirty minutes for the sun to rise in the west and set in the east.
The sun moving at 90% of the speed of light, at 600 million miles per hour, would take the sun 72 minutes to move 180°. Moving the sun at 95% of the speed of light would take 37 minutes to complete 180° around the earth.
This must be the time of Lu Yang's observation of the sun reversing three solar mansions rising from the western sunset to the meridian. Thus, the connection to the dedication of the altar both times.
Thus, at the same time as the altar was dedicated on the 25th of Kilsev = December 13, 164 BC; that the sun rose in the west to the meridian in China.
Thus, the sun would be at the noon position and then set in the east on Israel.
Then also on the 25th of Chislev November 25, 458 BC when the altar was dedicated by Nehemiah, the sun rose from the west to the meridian in China in autumn/winter on Lu Yang. Thus, Israel would see the sun at noon set in the east.
The day of Joshua's long day, the sun probably rose in the west, paused at noon for 24 hours, then set in the east. Saturn as seen from China at night traveling in the same movement of the sun, would travel two thirds the speed of light. Thus, Saturn's reflection of the sun's light would be dimmed by one third according to relativity.
Thus, both years 458 BC and 164 BC were jubile year 49 when the altar was dedicated. Thus, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was on the last jubile year 49, April 3, 33 AD.
The Greeks make pagan sacrifices in the Temple three years previous, three years to the day, Kilsev 25 of 167 BC = Friday, December 15, 167 BC = Hanukkah Saturday, December 12, 164 BC.
Matthew 23:19 "Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon."
Likewise, when Jesus was in the tomb on the sabbath, the sun may have rose in the west and set in the east, and there be dark and be the evening to begin the first day of the week when Mary Magdelene came to the tomb. Then the sun must have suddenly and brilliantly rose in the east Sunday, April 5, 33 AD when Jesus rose from the dead.
Then 490 days after November 25, 458 BC is the Passover, Sunday, March 30, 456 BC.
Then 490 days before November 25, 458 BC is Yom Kippur July 24, 459 BC.
Job 38:12 "Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
38:13 That it might take hold of the wings of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment."
The earth rotates each day. Also, the earth orbits the sun each year. Thus, when the sun moved to the other side of the earth, earth was in a reverse zodiac. Thus, the zodiac was turned in reverse like clay turned in reverse against the seal.
Job 38:31 "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the seven stars, or loose the bands of Orion?
38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"
Here you can see the star Sirius on the lower left = straight left from the three stars of Orion's belt, and the constellation Orion, his armpits and the three stars at Orion's belt and the Pleiades, the seven stars = you can see at least one star, on the upper right:
You can see the red star Betelgeuse, the arm pit of the hairy giant, in the middle of the picture below. Betelgeuse is 764 times the diameter of the sun.
"Betelgeuse: Finally, the giant supernova's true color revealed after 2,000 years"
The stars in Orion have changed colour over the last 2,000 years.
Mazzaroth = the zodiac. When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, God must guide the earth in a reverse orbit = reverse zodiac in the same season: spring, summer, fall, winter as normal.
Arcturus must guide the wisemen to Jesus.
Ashtaroth may apply to Arcturus and the seven stars of the Big Dipper. In a reverse orbit the handle of the Big Dipper would appear to revolve in reverse.

1 Samuel 6:12 "And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.
6:13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

Jeremiah 43:13 "He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire."
Again Orion:
Job 38:31 "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the seven stars, or loose the bands of Orion?"
Amos 5:8 "Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:"
Orion appears at night before spring. For Orion to appear at the time of the Passover - April 3, 33 AD, either the sun was darkened - moved suddenly away, or earth was in a reverse orbit and Orion opposite and above at midnight.
Orion appears as the great giant. The seven stars of the pleiades appear in his hand. The three stars form the belt, with the sword just below. The constellation appears as a depiction of the Son of God. The picture of Orion with the seven stars in his right hand may be of the Christ facing away from us, thus for us to follow Jesus.
The Greeks pictured Orion facing away from the earth, and the Pleiades on his right.
Isaiah 11:5 "And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."
Thus, the three stars of Orion's belt are comparable to Jesus.
Psalm 45:3 "Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty."
Mazzaroth - Geneva Bible: Certaine starres so called: some thinke they were the twelve signes (zodiac). The North starre with those that are about him?"
Thuban above the handle of the Big Dipper was the north star about this time. The handle points to the star Arcturus. Arcturus was the name given, not to an individual star but to the whole constellation Bootes. Bootes is the herdsman.
As you can see, the loins of the Herdsman is Arcturus. In earth's normal orbit Arcturus passes overhead at midnight in January. Sheep are born 144 days after September in January. Sheep are bred in August/September. Thus, the Herdsman, Arcturus that marked the birth of sheep in January, passed overhead in September when Jesus was born, September 12, 7 BC. Because, God must have moved the sun to the other side of earth when his Son Jesus was born.
Arcturus appears to be a constellation drawing of the Cross, Arcturus at the bottom of the cross:
Arcturus lines up in this cross formation today. At 37 light years away Arcturus has moved about 13° in latitude in the last 2000 years. Only now in this century, 2021 AD, does Arcturus line up with the stars to make a cross.
Because of precession and the movemet of the pole star position = earth's axis, Arcurus was closer to the pole star above the bowl of the Big Dipper at the time of Christ - Between Thuban and Polaris. This meant Arcturus could pass directly over Bethlehem when the wise men followed the star, perhaps Arcturus rising in the east at sunset in the west.
The shepherds who watched over their sheep at night in breeding season, in September.
Job 38:33 "Knowest thou the course of heaven, or canst thou set the rule thereof in the earth?"
Geneva Bible: "Canst thou cause the heavenly bodies to have any power over the earthly bodies?"
The Geneva Bible was printed in 1594 before Galileo's observation of the four planets orbiting Jupiter in 1610. Galileo even observed a small black dot on the surface of Jupiter from the shadow, solar eclipse, of one of the four large moons. Galileo reasoned, if the moons of Jupiter orbited Jupiter, earth must orbit the sun!
For many years after Galileo people still thought the sun went around the earth each day.
One of the objections to Galileo's theory was that we should see the stars pass in retrograde like we do Mars and Jupiter when earth overtakes them in orbit.
"Stellar parallax is so difficult to detect that its existence was the subject of much debate in astronomy for hundreds of years. It was first observed in 1806 by Giuseppe Calandrelli" Wikipedia.
The sun was directly overhead. He wondered if this were also true in Alexandria. So, on June 21 he planted a stick directly in the ground and waited to see if a shadow would be cast at noon. It turns out there was one. And it measured about 7 degrees. Now, if the sun's rays are coming in at the same angle at the same time of day, and a stick in Alexandria is casting a shadow while a stick in Syene is not, it must mean that the Earth's surface is curved. And Eratosthenes probably already knew that.
Aristarchus Samos in 250 BC proposed the earth went around the sun.
Aristotle in 350 BC proved that the earth was round.
The idea of a spherical Earth was floated around by Pythagoras around 500 BC and validated by Aristotle a couple centuries later. If the Earth really was a sphere, Eratosthenes could use his observations to estimate the circumference of the entire planet. Since the difference in shadow length is 7 degrees in Alexandria and Syene, that means the two cities are 7 degrees apart on Earth's 360-degrees surface. Eratosthenes hired a man to pace the distance between the two cities and learned they were 5,000 stadia apart, which is about 800 kilometres.
He could then use simple proportions to find the Earth's circumference - 7.2 degrees is 1/50 of 360° so 800 times 50 equals 40,000 kilometers. And just like that, a man 2200 years ago found the circumference of our entire planet with just a stick and his brain.

"Galileo's method involved two people standing on a hill top miles apart with a lamp each. The premise was that one of the pair would flash their lamp at the other, who would respond by flashing back immediately. No matter how far apart the two lamps were Galileo couldn't measure a time difference, leading him to determine that light was too fast to measure like this. Although he was unable to establish an exact number or if the speed of light was infinite, he did find that light travels 10 times faster than sound.
Finding the speed of light required a distance far greater than a few miles. Roemer began his research decades later in 1673 when he noticed the time elapse between the eclipses of a Jupiter moon called Io, which Galilei had discovered in 1610. By monitoring the time difference, Roemer estimated "light seems to take about 10 to 11 minutes [to cross] a distance equal to the half-diametre of the terrestrial orbit", or Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means that light travels at about 200,000,000 metres per second, which is around 26 per cent below the established speed."
Thus, light takes 8 minutes to pass from the sun to earth, not 11 minutes.
"Pierre Gassendi in 1631 noted that Mercury appeared as a much smaller shadow on the Sun than expected. This meant that Earth must be much farther from the Sun than generally thought."

Light from Saturn takes 80 minutes to reach earth. Then, when God moved the sun = light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach earth, that would mean Saturn would still appear at the same place for another 70 minutes, while the sun had been moving. Like Roemer, one making this observation may discover how fast light travels relative to the sun in our solar system.
If God moved the sun at the speed of light, no light would come from the sun; the sky now dark and Saturn would appear for the next 80 minutes. And after the 80 minutes, Saturn would disappear for the 55 minutes the sun was darkened.
Saturn appearing with the first quarter moon in Scorpius, February 16, 1240 BC or February 5, 1239 BC, before God moved the sun and planets and moon, if God moved Saturn with the sun - would mean after 80 minutes China would see Saturn move 180° from Scorpius to Taurus in the 12 hours the sun stood still at noon in Israel.
All five planets appear beside the sun, only Saturn appears above the sun. Then, simply if God moved the planets before he moved the sun, the sun would set, the stars would come out, and the planets would first appear about the stars in the constellation Scorpius/Fang.
Thus, some of these observations could have been discovered in Joshua's day - such as the speed of light - Habakkuk 3:11 "at the light of thine arrows they (the sun and the moon) went", long before Galileo's telescope.
The sons of Arcturus may point to Jesus the Son of God. Thus, Arcturus may be the star that lead the wisemen to Bethlehem to worship Jesus. Arcturus may be from the Arabic word Ash meaning night watcher. Thus, the star may have appeared over head in the middle of the night in September when the sun was moved to the other side of earth, when the angels appeared to the shepherds keeping watch over the sheep singing the praise of the Lord. Shepherds keep watch over the sheep in mating season in August/September.
Amos 5:8 "Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:"
The seven stars may be the Big Dipper, with Arcturus at the end of the handle.
Crack-making on day 32: on this day we should perform the you-ritual to "dou" the Big Dipper and to "fa" Orion. Use this.
Heji 32253.
Perhaps this oracle bone was from Wending's reign. Then Joshua's long day, day 32 of cycle 60, if on August 24, 1241 BC, would be on this day 31. Then the following night, day 32. The Big Dipper normal only that night because previous that night earth had been in a reverse orbit of the sun and after the following night earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun again. Thus, the night before the handle of the Big Dipper would point up at midnight day 30, then down at midnight day 31, then up at midnight on day 32. Thus, the night of day 31 Orion would be visible.
"On the 6th day, chia-wu [31], at night, the moon was eclipsed." divined by Bin = Wuding.
Ping-pien 57, Ho-chi 11486
Moses' sister Miriam probably died February 4, 1242 BC on the new moon on the sixth day of cycle 60.
This probably is Wuding's day 31 of a lunar eclipse, June 29, 1368 BC visible from China. Nevertheless, there is the possibility this is lunar day 6, day 31 of 60, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, when the moon must move as well as the sun and the moon reflecting the sun would change color and perhaps be mistaken for a lunar eclipse.
"The divination on day kuei-szu [30] inquired: "Will there be a disaster today?" On day Chia-wu [31] there was a halo [yun]"
Paiken 2
Divination on day kuei-szu [30] was performed by Cheng (could be Zheng, Wuding): "If the sun continued its halo, [chi], will it bring disaster this year?" In the third month.
(Chien-pien, 5.17.3)
This was probably during Wuding's reign.
If during Wending/Wanting's reign, this could be the solar eclipse of May 26, 1236 BC visible from China and be the omen for a new emperor that year:
This record of a halo does not appear like a solar eclipse and probably is not a lunar eclipse because the sun has the halo. There is the possibility this is a sun miracle during Wuding's reign the same day as the Big Dipper pointed up instead of down. There is also the possibility this is an oracle bone during Wending's reign and the halo is the sun being dimmed while it stood still in the noon Israeli sky for 24 hours on day 31.
Then the Chinese would also see the same dimmed sun standing still over the west 24 hours then proceed to rise in the west that day 31. Sometimes the sun was described as being purple by the Chinese during a sun miracle. Thus, the halo.
See Excel spread sheet or PDF of NASA Lunar Eclipse dates and their day of 60 for Wuding's reign and after. See rich text format Shang lunar eclipse dates. You will see all the lunar eclipse dates for Wuding's reign covered: Day 31 = June 29, 1368 BC = perhaps the third month from Spring in March, Day 36 = January 3, 1368 BC, day 51 = November 12, 1367 BC (however day 51 may be during Wu Yi's reign and be the partial solar eclipse on July 16, 1276 BC.
(Even this eclipse on day 51, July 16, 1276 BC may have rather been a sun miracle on new years day in Egypt) and day 22 = June 8, 1377 BC, day 9 (night of day 8) September 21, 1354 BC, day 20 October 13, 1356 BC and 14 days later a solar eclipse visible from China on day 34, October 27, 1356 BC, and was perhaps recorded on day 36.
The purpose of divining for day 34 should be that Jesus would die on the cross April 3, 33 AD on day 34 of cycle 60.
On the same oracle bone Heji 11483 was inscribed a lunar eclipse on day 21 and a lunar eclipse on day 36. For this to be a solar eclipse followed by a lunar eclipse this is a few days out. If this was for Wu Yi and not Wuding, this could describe a sun miracle during the Exodus at the end of the lunar month March 14, 1281 BC marking the first month Aviv, and a sun miracle on the Exodus the night of day 36, March 29, 1281 BC, rather Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. However, it was divined by Zheng = Wuding who lived more than 60 years before the Exodus.
Records of the sun having a zhi during Wu Yi and Wending's reigns, were for days 42, 17, 18, 25 and 51. There are no possible eclipse matches for day 42, 18, 25. And for day 51 the recorded chih may be a separate day than the eclipse. Also, Chih means blazing, hardly an eclipse. Chi or Zhi means blemish.. More likely a zhi was the colouration of the sun or moon during a sun miracle than an eclipse. Day 25 may be the sun returning on May 12, 1280 BC when the spies returned and Joshua said "Let us go up at once".
This record or worship of the Big Dipper "dou" if in Wuding's reign may be of a sun miracle in the oracle bones of China about 1360 BC perhaps when Aaron or Moses were born and the children of Israel afflicted by Pharaoh in Egypt. The high Nile began July 17. So the Nile would have risen when Pharaoh commanded the Hebrew boys to be cast into the river, perhaps then in August/September. Thus, this would be a type of Herod slaying the Israelite boys two and under when the wise men came September 5 BC.
The Big Dipper pointing up at midnight in August/September would show a very similar night sky to what the shepherds and the wise men would see September 12, 7 BC when Jesus was born.
The wise men arriving at Bethlehem to worship Jesus two years later. This sky would be the night sky after the sun miracle on Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
The sun may move back and forth six months after September 12, 7 BC = March 12, 6 BC, again one year later at Rosh Hashanah - at the head of the year, the blowing of trumpets - September 14, 6 BC, and six months after September 14, 6 BC, March 14, 5 BC, and move back September 15, 5 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun after the wise men had found Jesus.
September 12, 7 BC, the 17th lunar day of the 7th month:
March 14, 6 BC:
September 13, 6 BC = the new moon:
March 14, 5 BC:
September 15, 5 BC = the full moon and a lunar eclipse:
Arcturus points to the seasons in its night time appearing. The handle of the Big Dipper points down at midnight to Arcturus and Virgo where the sun was before September 12, 7 BC. Then the sun moved 180° and Arcturus passed overhead at midnight September 12, 7 BC. Arcturus would pass directly over Bethlehem at midnight in this reverse orbit in August/September in the two years up to September 15, 5 BC when the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Then the wise men in August/September of 5 BC may have followed Arcturus to Jerusalem and to Bethlehem and to Jesus. Thus, to be in Jerusalem before the sun moved back September 15, 5 BC. Perhaps the sweet influences are the sweet influences of fruit in spring when the sun normally is moving into Orion.
Perhaps the sweet influences are the sweet influences of the life of Christ. A flower when crushed gives a sweet fragrance. Moreover, the night sky at sunset would see Orion above normally in April. However, earth probably was in a reverse orbit the night of Gethsemane. Thus, the night sky when Jesus prayed in the garden would be the Pleiades and Orion. Thus, the bands of death were loosed when Jesus rose from the dead. The seven stars in his right hand = Orion facing away from the earth = the Pleiades. Thus, the sweet influences of eternal life in Jesus' prayer.
Mark 14:36 "And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt."

Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken."
The jubile year began with the sound of the trumpet. Thus, it was called the yovel year = the trumpet.
Leviticus 25:9 "Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land."
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child."
Jesus may have been born the 17th day of the 7th month = September 13, 7 BC. From the 15th day to the 22nd day of the 7th month was the feast of tabernacles. Then Jesus may have been born in the midst of the feast of tabernacles.
John 7:14 "Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught."
John 7:42 "Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
Thus, the connection with Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC, in Bethlehem about this time, the time of the feast of tabernacles.
Arcturus is the only star mentioned by name in the Bible, other than the star Remphan which may be Sirius.
Amos 5:26 "But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves."
Amos 5:26 "But ye have borneH5375 (H853) the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4432 and ChiunH3594 your images,H6754 the starH3556 of your god,H430 whichH834 ye madeH6213 to yourselves."
King = MolochH4432. Idol = ChiunH3594. Phantom= images,H6754. These probably describe the Egyptian celestial gods, and thus also the star Sirius.
Arcturus was from the Arabic word Ash meaning night watch. I am very glad for those who watch over my soul. The sun must move to the other side of the earth that day. Then Arcturus would pass directly over Bethlehem that September 13, 7 BC. Thus, the shepherds watching their sheep at night would see Arcturus pass directly overhead when the angels appeared. Thus, Arcturus would lead both the shepherds, and two years later, the wisemen, to Jesus.
The Roman five year census is reported to have been from 8 BC to 7 BC according to Susan S. Carroll. 8 BC was a seventh year Sabbath fallow year. Thus, Israel could sow in 7 BC and brought in the fruits of the year to pay taxes in September 7 BC when they arrived in Bethlehem when Jesus must be born. Nevertheless, there is no recorded census in Israel at the time of Jesus' birth. 22 BC was the 50th jubile year, less 14 years = 8 BC a fallow Sabbath year.
If Elizabeth conceived just after her husband performed the temple services, the eighth course of Abia, May 15, 8 BC, then her sixth month may have been the new moon January 1, 7 BC. Then Mary may have conceived Jesus of the Holy Ghost in the sixth month, about January 3, 7 BC = 252 days the normal 36 week pregnancy, to September 12, 7 BC.
Then Jesus would be born 9 months later in September.
Then John the Baptist could have been born on the Passover, Sunday, March 15, 7 BC.
Matthew 21:42 "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
Better to be ground as fine flour for the LORD now than to be ground to powder when he returns.
Genesis 18:27 "And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:"
Job 42:5 "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Matthew 21:23 "And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him."
Mark 11:9 "And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest."
Probably Jesus' birth was in 7 BC: In 7 BC Joseph may have had to appear in his hometown of Bethlehem to pay taxes at the census that year according to Susan S. Carroll. The census year from 8 BC to 7 BC would end in this seventh month in 7 BC. Jesus may have been born Saturday, September 12, 7 BC or Sunday, September 13, 7 BC, then Jesus could have been circumcised on the eighth day, Sunday, September 20, 7 BC two days after the end of the feast of booths. Then the sun may have moved to the other side of the earth for a sudden sunrise on his birth to give the shepherds light to find Jesus in the manger.
Then likewise, John would be born about Sunday, March 15, 7 BC and circumcised on the eighth day Sunday, March 22, 7 BC.
Luke 2:21 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb."
Luke 1:59 "And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father."
John 7:23 "If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?"
Jesus also may have been born on the seventh day, September 12, 7 BC.
Luke 1:26 "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary."
The sixth month may simply mean the sixth month Elizabeth was with child with John the Baptist. From the civil new years of August/September the sixth month may be December/January.
Then John the Baptist may have been conceived about July 7, 7 BC at the end of the lunar month of the seventh, after the day of Atonement and the feast of tabernacles when Zechariah would have finished all his temple service. Then Jesus would have been conceived about the third day of Adar, Sunday, January 4, 7 BC. 252 days later is Sunday, September 13, 7 BC. So a sun miracle perhaps at the time Elizabeth conceived, July 7, 8 BC. Then 180 days later a sun miracle about January 4, 7 BC when Jesus may have been conceived.
Then a sun miracle about July 7, 7 BC and earth would flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
The sun could move to the other side of the earth Sunday, September 13, 7 BC perhaps when Jesus was born and the star Arcturus appear directly overhead.
Then two years later, earth still in a reverse orbit, the wise men would see Arcturus directly overhead at midnight in September when they sought the King of the Jews. Arcturus would pass directly overhead of Bethlehem September 5 BC. Then the sun must return September 15, 5 BC and the moon be turned to blood the night of the lunar eclipse. The moon does not appear noticeably red during a naturally occurring lunar eclipse.
Thus, the sun would appear purple, to leave the same daily coral layer, and the reflection on the moon, ruby / blood red. Thus, Herod killed all the boys two years old and under because Arcturus first appeared to the wise men, as they related to Herod, directly above September 13, 7 BC two years previous that September 5 BC.
Psalm 81:1 "Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
8:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
8:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day."
The solemn feast day is the beginning of the feast of tabernacles, on the full moon of the seventh month. Thus, two years later on the full moon of the seventh month the high priest had been executed by Herod. Thus, perhaps this was the reason Jesus' birth was not celebrated being on the same day of the year. Thus, Jesus was born in a stable, just as at that time the people would be keeping the feast of booths. Sunday September 13, 7 BC was the third day of the feast of booths, of tabernacles.
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day".
This is a record of fact, an eye witness account - not alleged, not a metaphor, not an allegory, and not pretext, not a myth set to poetry and not a command to the deities of the sun and moon.
"The memory of the cataclysms was erased, not because of lack of written traditions, but because of some characteristic process that later caused entire nations, together with their literate men, to read into these traditions allegories or metaphors where actually cosmic disturbances were clealy described."
Worlds in Collision by Velikovsky
This was not a localized event. There is only one sun and one moon seen from the whole earth.
There may be a search for evidence of sun miracles in the daily coral layers. True wisdom costs us our all. The price of wisdom is not money. It is our will and beyond ruby like suns. The price of ancient coral is about $100,000 a kilo.
Job 28:18 "No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies."
There is a daily coral layer and a yearly clam shell layer.
Some clams are able to secrete three or four layers of nacre a day.
Perhaps the sun appeared purple as a ruby as the Chinese recorded at the sun miracle in 141 BC when the sun may have been dimmed.
"On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213.
The five planets in retrograde = earth in reverse orbit.
The moon may be moved up to the pole star region to keep the same gravity tide as there normally would be. The immediate area nearest the moon has the most immediate gravity tide. Gravity and light from the moon take only one second to reach the earth. Thus, "The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing" is the constellation of the pole region. The moon is higher in winter, the sun higher in summer.
"Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan period, summer, 4th month, day wushen 45. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.189.
Two years later on Sunday, June 11, 139 BC the sun came out at night on the third quarter moon, lunar day 22 = the moon would rise at midnight, day 45 of cycle 60.
Earth may have continued in a reverse orbit of the sun from this winter of 141 BC/142 BC to this summer of 139 BC. Then, either the last day of the 12th month was not February 11, 141 BC but two months earlier, 2 X 30 = 60 days, on the same day of cycle 60. Or the fourth month of summer was not June 11, but two months later.
Thus, earth may have continued in a reverse orbit for two and a half years to the summer of 139 BC. That is from the last day of the lunar month, December 14, 142 BC to this June 11, 1239 BC. Or from this February 11, 141 BC to the 22nd day of the month, again, August 10, 139 BC = the same day 45 of cycle 60. (The same August 10, and 21st lunar day, as Joshua's long day 1102 years earlier).
The moon was in the polar region of the sky. The sun must move 180° from Scorpius to Taurus. Thus, the sun would appear nearer the pole star and in the polar region. The sun must move 180° to the zodiac path six months away. Thus, the path of the zodiac stayed the same.
Thus, the moon in winter was seen in the northern regions. Nevertheless, the sun should be 180° or six months away from the December zodiac and the moon likewise six months away from the winter lunar zodiac, and thus be all the more notable.
The sun moon and planets in the polar region are all the more notable. The model of sun movements normally is to the same zodiac path, just six months away. Here they are observed in the polar region - all the more notable that the sun moon and planets were moved to the other side of the earth.
"If it thunders in the sign of Taurus, revolutions against..If it thunders in the sign of Gemini, fear and distress from the foreigners.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume II, 4Q320, 4QCalendrical Doc A, p.679.
If the sun moved in Scorpius it must appear 180° away in Taurus. Then earth's revolution around the sun would be in reverse.
If the sun and moon moved to the other side of the earth, the sun and moon must also move up or down to keep earth in the same season. This is accomplished by moving six months ahead to the same zodiac path = same season on earth. Normally this position would be six constellations of the zodiac away in that constellation the sun would be in six months ago, the same as six months ahead. Nevertheless, if the sun did not move up or down after moving 180° around the earth, earth must shift on its axis to keep earth in the same season.
Notes: "the relative resonance of the sun and moon mirrors that 'communicate' with the 'higher poles'... of that which could 'communicate' with the 'highest pole'
Huai Nan Tzu, Peering into the obscure, p.129
Thus, the sun and moon may move up to the pole region to keep the same season on earth. Earth did not move its axis. Only plane of earth's orbit moved. Thus, the sun must move up to the pole region.
If 90 days before the spring equinox earth must pivot 180° backward or forward, similar to this February 11, 141 BC. If you have a globe of earth, move the sun to the other side of the globe. Then pivot the base on a flat table 180° to the sun to keep earth in the same season. Thus, if earth did not pivot, the sun must move up or down after moving 180° to keep earth in the same season.
Straight up leaves earth's axis tilt at 23.5°. Then 180° away means 23.5° + 23.5° = 47°:.
If earth were to shift, the sun and moon may have appeared in the polar constellation. This shift would be like the precession of the equinox which pivots 360° in 26,000 years. Thus, the zodiac of Yao made just after Yao shot down the 9 suns = the sun stood still in the sky for 9 days.
If earth pivoted, (pivot a globe stand on a flat table and the axis will pivot also) it would pivot not 10 degrees for 10 days but 20 degrees for 10 days, because 180° is 2 times 90 days and the sun 180° on the other side of earth, earth must pivot 180°. Earth did not move, the sun moved up or down to keep earth in the same season.
2 X 90 days means if God moved the sun 90 days before the spring equinox the globe of the earth on this flat table would need to move 180°. Thus, the globe move 2 X the number of days before or after the equinox.
Thus, this ten days April 1, 2315 BC this ten days before the spring equinox April 11, 2315 BC = 20° in earth's shift = 20° in the precession of the equinoxes. 20° / 360° X 26000 years = 1400 years = at least several centuries more recent = more than 700 years, is rather 1400 years more recent than 2300 BC.
The sun was moved up or down, the earth was untouched.
Earth's elliptical orbit means half the orbit may be 187 days, and the other 178 days = 365 days. This is because of the perihelion = earth's nearest approach of the sun = January 3, 2018 AD. In 1241 BC earth's perihelion was about December 1. Then, the sun miracle at the crossing of the river Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC was about 90 days after the perihelion. This means that half orbit was the maximum of 187 days.
Sun miracles from Sunday to Sabbath means the sun returned one more day later than a half orbit, 188 days later from Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC to Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC.
Nevertheless, a sun miracle at the crossing of the Jordan, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, 188 days later is Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC. An half orbit is 186.6 days.
James Legge commented Yao's astronomers He and Ho could not have seen the four stars culminate in the four seasons in the time of Yao 2315 BC. The stars could not have culminated so till 700 years more recent minimum. Here you see the stars appear 1400 years more recent. The truth is these stars culminated 1400 years more recent - 2300 BC was like 900 BC.
The date of Yao given here as 2315 BC, and the calculation from April 1 in Genesis for Joseph to appear on Pharaoh's birthday April 1, the full moon was April 2, 2315 BC ten days before the vernal equinox April 10, make the observation of the four stars in Yao's Canon only possible with this sun movement.
Thus, this model is the solution to a long time big puzzle. Xueshun emailed me about 2008 that no solution to this puzzle had yet been proposed.
Yao is recorded to reign in the 13th of cycle 60, 2325 BC. Either way, there were sun miracles to fulfill Joseph's second dream.
The cycle of 60 years is corrected by 10 years from year 11 = 2325 BC to year 21 = 2315 BC. Emperor Yao in 2325 BC is corrected to 2315 BC.
The sun stood still in the sky for about 10 days in China that April 1, 2315 BC. The full moon was April 2, 2315 BC. The vernal equinox was in April 11, 2315 BC. This same ten days the sun moved before the equinox may also equal the same ten days long the sun stood still. Nevertheless, the sun should stand still for 9 X 12 hours.
Because earth must remain in the same season, the sun and moon and planets may appear in the polar constellation.
The term "blue moon" may come from these ancient times when a purple sun would reflect the colour blue from the moon.
Theoretically the blue moon was when there was a volcanic eruption that made the sun and moon appear blue. However, the origin of the term may refer back to Old Testament days when the sun appeared purple during a sun miracle. This was so rare, that a blue moon signified a rare event. So now when we say there is a blue moon, it simply refers to two full moons in a 31 day month, such as this last July 1, 2015 AD and July 31, 2015 AD.
Here you can see two full moons in the month of July of 2015 AD:
Here you see what the sun may have looked like while it stood still in the sky for Joshua, both on August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, and February 15, 1240 BC, or February 5, 1239 BC. This is an example of how a purple sun may look. Light from the purple end of the light spectrum does not radiate much heat. Thus, one would expect this to be the colour of the sun when the sun stood still or rose in the west so as not to overheat one side of the earth.
Nevertheless, earth must receive heat from somewhere else to keep a constant temperature. Even the invisible ultra-violet light that may be a part of this may not cause eye damage. It is the invisible infra-red light that burns a hole in your retina. Picture taken by a NASA satellite of ultra-violet light. The moon is the dark spot in front of the sun:
Perhaps the sun was this bright red crimson colour when the sun ascended suddenly in the east, such as for Gideon perhaps on Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC or Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC or Sunday August 11, 1241 BC. Light from the red and infra-red end of the light spectrum causes heat. Thus, one would expect the sun to be crimson red when the sun travelled east west for a short day of only 3 or 4 hours. Then this one side of the earth would receive the heat it normally would receive in 12 hours.
This infra-red light would cause eye damage. At least the sun would not be in the sky for long to stare at it. Here is an example of a crimson sun:
The purpose of the crimson colour sun may be the crimson red blood Jesus' shed on the cross for the whole world.
Colouring fabric with red from insects was common. Colouring with purple = phonecia = phoenix, was common also.
The word for sun in:
Judges 8:13 "Gideon returned before the sun was up."
Sun = khar-sooth' = sun burn. Thus, a brilliant sun could create sun burn. The sun with the colour crimson may also refer to the crimson phoenix.
Heres may also be pronounced Chares = crimson sun.
From H2775 (Apparently in the sense of a red tile used for scraping); a potsherd, that is, (by implication) a pottery; the name of a gate at Jerusalem: - east. This is "heres". Joshua renamed the city he dwelt in Timnath-heres = portion of the sun. This may be a fitting name after the sun miracle he successfully requested before God.
Judges 1:35 "But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries."
"Heres" means shinning or sun. This may be the same area that Joshua lived in. There are many places named heres after the sun, and perhaps after the sun miracle of Joshua's long day.
Judges 1:33 "Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh,"
Bethshemesh means house of the sun. The inhabitants, the Amorites, would fear the God of Israel when God controlled their god the sun on Joshua's long day and flee Joshua's army.
That is, perhaps the sun was purple when it rose in the west at 11 PM to the noon position where it stayed for 24 hours, then set in the east. Then perhaps the sun was crimson like red tile when it rose suddenly in the east at 11 PM or midnight. Thus, the writer of Judges would say Gideon returned before the crimson sun suddenly ascended in the east.
It has been assumed Gideon started back before the sun rose. However with the extra 36 or 60 hours Gideon could have arrived back before the sun rose.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
Psalm 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."
Psalm 121:5 "The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night."
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Hosea 6:2 "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
Luke 1:78 "Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."
Luke 2:16 "And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child."
The dayspring Zachariah stated may have been the sun suddenly rising out of the east when the shepherds came to see the Christ. Thus, the night suddenly become day. Thus, this be when the wisemen saw the star of the Christ two years before they came to worship him, when Herod had diligently inquired. Thus, the sun return two years later at the lunar eclipse, blood moon from the deaths of the priests recorded by Josephus, September 15, 5 BC. Thus, earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun two years later, September 15, 5 BC.
John the Baptist was born six months before Jesus. Thus, the sun may move 186 days before Jesus' birth, the month of the Passover, the tenth day of the month, March 10, 7 BC, when the Passover lamb was to be taken into the home four days to be sacrificed on the 14th day the day of the Passover. The sun may move back on Jesus' birth, then to the other side of earth for two more years of a reverse orbit. So either the dayspring refers to a sun miracle that day Zacharias spoke, or a sun miracle yet to come when Jesus' was born.
That is, the sun suddenly rose in the east to stand directly above. This is in the past tense. Then this sun miracle may have occurred at John's birth, perhaps March 10, 7 BC. Then there could be a sun miracle six months later, 186 days later, half an orbit later, on Jesus' birth September 13, 7 BC. Perhaps the first sun miracle was on Jesus' birth. Thus, the reason the wise men saw his star, Arcturus, rising in the east in September 13, 7 BC. Thus, these words may have been uttered after Jesus was born or prophesied the sun miracle was yet to come at Jesus' birth.
"In 7 BC, 2nd month, 13th day, the Chancellor -Zhai Fangjin died on this day."
Wars with the Xiongnu, p.441
This should be Thursday, March 12, 7 BC, the 10th day of the first month of the Passover.
Then half an orbit later the sun may move back and forth again, Saturday, September 12, 7 BC on Jesus' birth.
Sometime before Zhai Fangjin passed away a junior Counsellor Li Xin at the Chancellor's Office had written him a memorial, "We are experiencing dramatic changes to the climatic and environment conditions, Heaven is sending signs of rapprochment through calamity and the conditions are aggravating by the day..."
Wars with the Xiongnu, p.441
Thus, even before John or Jesus was born there may have been sun miracles the year and date they were conceived.
"Autumn, 7th month, 1st day. Liu Xin accepted Wang Mang's resignation and bestowed upon him five hundred jin of gold, a carriage - anche drawn by four horses - and was ordered to return to his own residence."
Wars with the Xiongnu, p.448
This should be the new moon Sunday September 12, 6 BC. Thus, a sun miracle when the sun moved back and forth that day may have sent an omen for Wang Mang's resignation.
Mattew 16:13 "When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?"
Matthew 17:1 "And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light."
Caesarea Philippi is at the base of Mount Hermon.
Mark 9:3 "And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them."
Mount Dov = 3,870 feet elevation: Behind Mount Dov is Mount Herman = 9,232 feet elevation, a rugged mountain ridge covered with snow in winter.
Joshua 11:2 "And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,"
Joshua 11:7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining."
When God moved the sun back February 5, 1239 BC, the sun would stand still at the noon position on Israel for 12 hours = the sunset position on China:
Here you see the sun in the noon position over Israel at the beginning of the Joshua's long day sun miracles. Note earth's axis is pointed about 18° away from the sun. This is the normal January/February inclination. Earth's axis is pointed to the pole star for 1241 BC - 1240 BC and does not shift. Earth is untouched.
To see Israel rotating with the sun click here. Note the sun's sun spots do not rotate to face earth. At the end of the sun miracle of Joshua taking Jericho or Merom 12 hours later, the other side of the sun faces earth. The sun rotates in 25 days with earth's orbit. The sun rotates at its equator 24.47 days. The sun appears to rotate from earth at its equator in 26.24 days. Therefore, when earth orbited the sun in reverse, the sun would appear to rotate in 22.23 days from earth. Nevertheless, there should be no noticeable evidence.
The Northern Lights seen Friday May 10, 2024 There are 100 pictures in the link.
When God moved the sun to the other side of earth, He probably did not rotate the sun, so earth saw the other side of the sun. The Northren Lights normally would be seen again 27 days later. If God moved the sun to the other side of earth, the Northern Lights would be seen 13 days later.
This animation depicts the sun going around the earth perhaps at the battle of Merom February 4, 1240 BC, for Joshua one year after Joshua's first sun miracle at the crossing of the river Jordan, the tenth day, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
Although you will see Israel staying in the noon position with the sun on king Wan's dream, just like it did on Joshua's long day. You will see first the earth moving clockwise around the sun in reverse. Then the sun moving with earth's rotation to stay in the noon position over Israel. Then you will see earth flowing out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Earth is now moving counterclockwise around the sun, like normal.
Here you see the sun has revolved halfway around the earth with earth's rotation 12 hours later, still in the noon position over Israel. Now you see the sun has moved down to keep earth in the same season.
In the battle of Merom the sun may have stood still at noon on Israel for this 12 hours.
Here you see a 3D planet java applet:
You can move and tilt these planets just as the sun would tilt the orbits of the planets when it moved up or down to keep earth in the same season in this java applet.
Mount Dov: Mount Herman is behind Mount Dov, at 9,232 feet, and has lots of snow in winter.
2 Corinthians 4:6 "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
Galatians 3:5 "He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
2 Corinthians 3:9 "For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory."
The sun is often associated with healing. The sun provides most of our vitamin D, which is very important to health and healing. Laser treatment for the skin and muscles is based on how sun light heals. Hezekiah was healed when the sun retreated from the western horizon to the eastern horizon, perhaps on the Temple steps.
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;"
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
2 Kings 15:27 "In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.
2 Kings 15:2 "Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 26:3 "Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem."
Azariah and Uzziah are two separate kings. Azariah may have reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC. The 49th jubile year would be 802 BC from 1241 BC. Then Uzziah 52 years from 802 BC to 751 BC, Jotham from 751 BC 16 years to 734 BC, Ahaz 16 years from 733 BC to 717 BC, Hezekiah 29 years from 717 BC to 688 BC, and a co-reign with Manasseh 12 years from 700 BC to 688 BC. Manasseh reigned to his 55th year of life = born in 700 BC and died in 645 BC = the solar eclipse in China that was no eclipse.
Thus, in 703 BC Hezekiah prayed because he did not have a son, a heir, yet. Then Manasseh was born just a few years later in 700 BC.
Isaiah 38:19 "The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
Manasseh may have been born in 700 BC, or he may have been 12 years old in 700 BC. Isaiah lived to 688 BC = 12 years from 700 BC. Then the 55 years of the reign of Manasseh are counted from 700 BC to 645 BC.
"In his, King Le, first year, which was mow-shin 45 of cycle (60 from 2636 BC = 852 BC), when he came to the throne, he built the palace of E, and gave a Charge to the prime minister Loh, the duke E of Yung. The people of ts'oo presented tortoise and other shells."
E was in Sze-ch'uen, Yung was in Honan.
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.153
There may have been a sun miracle in 49th jubile year in Israel, 849 BC, whereupon the ailing Emperor died or was assassinated. Or there may have been a sun miracle that year that King Le gave a Charge.
Then Azariah may have reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 802 BC. Then Uzziah may have reigned 52 years from 802 BC to 751 BC.
2 Kings 15:28 "And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria."
This was the same event:
Isaiah 9:1 "Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
9:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
9:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."
This August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, of Joshua's long day was about the same time as Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC. Thus, "for unto us a child is born" = the day of Midian = Gideon in Judges 6, 7, 8.
Joshua 10:12b "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
This Ajalon may be in Zebulun or Dan, thus the connection to the sun being dimmed, the Hebrew word Damam like dim, and the moon in Zebulun, when the sun and moon stood still.
"dimness" is from the hebrew word "to fly". Thus, the phoenix may be pictured to carry the sun east as it stood still in the sky while the sun was dimmed to leave the same daily coral line. The day of Midian when Gideon fought the Midianites on Joshua's long day - the sun rising in the west and setting in the east for 24 extra hours of day light, and Gideon slaying 120,000 men and Zeba and Zalmunna, 60 miles from Tabor to Succoth in 36 hours of day light, before returning before the sun suddenly and brilliantly ascended in the east must be like the resurrection Sunday when Jesus had victory over the grave.
Zalmunna means shade has been denied. Numbers 14:9 "their shade is departed from them" said Joshua 40 years earlier when the 12 spies returned to camp. This battle of Gideon must be the same day as Joshua's long day, thus shade has been denied. Thus, the sun setting in the east on that long day, and the sun suddenly rising in the east Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or Sunday August 11, 1241 BC, or Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC, when Gideon returned = Judges 8:13 as the sun would set in the east the Sabbath Jesus was in the grave, and suddenly rise in the east on Sunday Jesus' resurrection.
Zeba means sacrifice.
You will note light is mentioned two times in Isaiah 9:2. The first time may be the sun rising from the west, then standing still at noon for Joshua for 24 hours - then the sun set in the east. The second time light is mentioned, may refer to the brilliant dawning of the sun in the east Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or February 4, 1241 BC, or August 11, 1241 BC = a type of Jesus' resurrection at the sunrising.
The word darkness, followed by light gadol = great light, followed by impenetrable darkness = death shadow, followed by light shine = sunrise.
Jesus obtained the victory from the grave, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. That Friday may be 12 or more hours longer. That Saturday the sun may have rose in the west and set in the east. That Sunday the sun may have suddenly rose in the east only a few hours after setting in the east, whereupon Jesus rose from the dead. The sun suddenly ascended from the east as in Judges 8:13 on Jesus' resurrection. Thus, Jesus' victory over death was like the day of Midian.
Venus the moring star, the day star, would rise earlier and earlier, from this Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, rise before the sun and rise earlier in the next few months.
Jesus' birth may be like the day of Midian, September 13, 7 BC, as Joshua's Long Day and Gideon, the same August/September. There must be a sun miracle on Jesus' birth when the angels appeared to the shepherds at night. The same day Arcturus appear directly above Bethlehem at midnight because the sun was on the other side of earth. Arcturus, the only star mentioned by name in the Bible, normally is directly above Bethlehem at 12PM noon. Thus, for Arcturus to be the star the wisemen saw and came to Bethlehem two years later, the sun must move to the other side of earth in September.
Gideon's battle may have been the same day as Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC. Or Gideon's battle was the crossing of Jordan, February 4, 1241 BC.
Judges 8:10 "Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
8:11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
8:12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
8:13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
790 BC was the 50th year, a jubile from 1241 BC. This was in emperor Seuen's 37th year = the 38 years of Jesus' life. The following King Yew began his reign in 780 BC and his sixth year was a solar eclipse of 776 BC. Thus, back 5 years to 781 BC to the death of King Seuen in King Seuen's 46th year. Then back 10 years to King Seuen's 37th year: 826 BC - 36 years = 790 BC = the jubile in year 50 in Israel from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
Azariah began his reign when he was 16 years old. Uzziah is not Azariah. If Uzziah began when he was 16 years also, then reigned from 802 BC, he would be 38 in 780 BC when King Yew began his reign as emperor in China.
Thus, a sun miracle may mark Uzziah's 38th year = Jesus' sacrifice when Jesus was 38 years old.
"In his (King Seuen) 32nd year a horse changed into a man.."
"In his 37nd year (from 826 BC = 790 BC) a horse changed into a fox"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books. p 156
This 32nd year would be the 50th year of jubile, 450 years from Joshua's long day August 10, 1241 BC = 791 BC. 12 years back from his death in his 44th year in 780 BC.
There could have been a sun miracle whereby the sun would be darkened at noon as it was when Jesus was on the cross. Thus, this 791 BC, the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day, could be the fulfillment of Amos 8:9. 200 years later:
September 7, 591 BC was the sun darkened at sunset in China = noon in Israel when Jerusalem was taken on the 7th day of the lunar month, day 40 of cycle 60 in China. No eclipse dates match day 40 in 591 BC.
Both the Egyptian and Armenian sothis cycles must be put 76 years back = the Armenian cycle: 552 AD - 76 years = 476 AD, 1460 year cycles: 984 BC, 2444 BC, 3907 BC, 5368 BC.
Likewise the Egyptian sothis calendar with the death of Pharaoh Mernetpah not in 1205 BC, but 76 years further back = the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle in 1281 BC - 1456 years back to 2737 BC.
Pan was the angel that looked like a horse or goat and also like a man. About 60 AD Plutarch stated this was why "the oracles had ceased to give answers". Thus, perhaps God ceased to cause sun miracles after Jesus had come.
This angel that appeared as a horse may have been the origin of the legend of the chariot of horses that drew the sun up in the sky. Thus, the angel that moved the sun, on the day of a sun miracle, was like the four beasts before God's throne.
Ezekiel 1:10 "As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle."
Thus, the ox like creature may be like the horse in Ezekiel and like the Kelin, the deer like Chinese phoenix. Thus, the ox like creature may be like a horse, and the creature with the face of a man be like a man. Thus, the angel like a horse, and the angel like a man.
"In his seventh year there was a Kelin." The bottom character is the Kelin:
The Kelin has one horn as does the unicorn.
The Kelin has two parts. On the left in white the creature the goat with the horn on top, and on the right in black the pronouciation sounds like the Chinese word for rice. The sun angel, the Griffin, in Greece also had one horn.
Here you can see a pictograph of an elk, his horns, and a rainbow:
Here you see a double rainbow on the first quarter moon. The bright rainbow to the left is from the setting sun. The second rainbow to the right may be from the reflection of the lake. The unusual double rainbow shoots strait up left and right, strait up like as the pictograph above.
Here you can see a pictograph of an eclipse:
This horse may be an angel that moved the sun that year, one of the four beasts before God's throne. You may see the chronology of the Kings of Judah below. This was the 11th year of Uzziah, from 801 BC = 790 BC. The 37th year of the Chinese Emperor Seuen from 826 BC.
Isaiah prophesied of Jesus. Thus, as the day of Midian may be the victory Jesus had over death the resurrection Sunday that was in type like the sun miracle of the sun rising in the west and setting in the east that Saturday Sabbath. Then the sun brilliantly and suddenly rising in the east only a few hours after the sun set in the east. Thus, "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light". Both the light of Jesus' example and the sun miracles during his life time and at his resurrection.
The third day may mark a sudden sunrise in the east like there must have been 5 AM, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or 5 AM, Sunday, August 11, 1241 BC or Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC. Likewise, the "dayspring" means sunrise and refers to Isaiah 9 and its description of the battle of Gideon. Thus, "dayspring" may refer to a likeness and brightness of the sudden sunrise 5 AM August 25, 1241 BC - or August 11, 1241 BC or February 4, 1241 BC. The dayspring may also refer to a sun miracle on the day of Jesus' resurrection Sunday April 5, 33 AD.
Thus, the sudden and brilliant sunrise of Judges 8:13 may have occurred in the resurrection morning.
The sun at noon in the Golan Heights Israel September 18, 2010.
Exodus 34:10 "And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvelsH6381
Exodus 34:10 such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
34:11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite."
H6381 פָּלָא pâlâ' paw-law' A primitive root; properly perhaps to separate, that is, distinguish (literally or figuratively); by implication to be (causatively make) great, difficult, wonderful: - accomplish, (arise . . . too, be too) hard, hidden, things too high, (be, do, do a, shew) marvelous (-ly, -els, things, work), miracles, perform, separate, make singular, (be, great, make) wonderful (-ers, -ly, things, works), wondrous (things, works, -ly).

Mark 5:19 "Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel."
The steep hill of the Gadarenes where when the devils entered the swine, 2,000 swine ran into the water and were choked. The Israelites were not supposed to keep swine. The people of Galilee were forced into Judaism about 100 BC. Swine gone and devils gone. Legion in his right mind:
Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law."
How God did it is his secret. However, we now may know what this means to the movement of the sun and the earth. Basics in our understanding of the sun and earth, our world and God's power.
Jesus' Hebrew name is Joshua = Salvation. The first sun miracle when coming into the Promised Land may be an early sunrise the day Joshua took Jericho:
Joshua 6:15 "And it happened on the seventh day, they rose early, at the dawning of the day, and went around the city seven times.
6:16 And it happened at the seventh time, the priest blew with the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people Shout! For the LORD has given you the city.
6:20 And the people shouted, and blew with the trumpets, and it happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout. And the wall fell under it; and the people went up into the city, each man in front of him, and they captured the city."
Exodus 34:22 "And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end."
"at the year's end" means "coming round, circuit of time or space". "a revolution" - "t quphah" - Strong's 8622.
The beginning month was Nisan when Joshua entered the Promised Land. Perhaps seven months later in the seventh month, the civil and national new year being Yom Kippur on July 31, 1241 BC. Then 21 days later was Joshua's long day, August 10, 1241 BC when Joshua conquered at Gibeon.
God knew the earth revolved around the sun and very likely Moses and Joshua knew this too. The year's end was the fall harvest, the ingathering of fruits, in the feast of tabernacles August 3, 1241 BC to August 10, 1241 BC. The battle of Jericho February 17, 1241 BC makes sense because flax was harvested in February, in the month of Adar, and in Jericho harvest is two weeks earlier than else where in Israel.
Joshua 2:6 "But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof."
Gideon's battle may have been February 4, 1241 BC or August 10, 1241 BC or February 4, 1240 BC, or even February 5, 1239 BC.
The eight day feast of Tabernacles from the 15th day of the 7th lunar month to the 22nd day of the 7th lunar month: "on the first day a holy convocation and on the eighth day a holy convocation". My guess there would not need to have been a feast of tabernacles if the children of Israel had obeyed in 1280 BC forty years, before this 1241 BC. They would already be in the promised land conquering it. The feast of Tabernacles was the feast of Booths to commemorate the 40 years in the wilderness.
Leviticus 23:36 "Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."
A lunar eclipse at sunset August 29, 1352 BC: "After seven days, at the time from jiwei (day 56) to gengshen (day 57), the moon was eclipsed." There were two inscriptions, perhaps of the same naturally occurring lunar eclipse.
This is supposed to be the lunar eclipse of August 14, 1166 BC. "Those experts in modern astronomy can calculate the time and date of all early eclipses very accurately. Consider their results and information deduced from oracle bone inscriptions together, the year of that lunar eclipse has been identified as 1166 BC." - which is blatantly false.
"If that lunar eclipse record indeed refers to the eclipse on Aug. 14, 1166 BC, which is most likely correct, then Wu could not possibly begin the Zhou dynasty in 1122 BC, because there were eight kings between the Yin king of that eclipse and Wu. Clear inscriptional evidence shows that the rule of those eight kings were much longer than 44 years."
"As for the reigns of those 8 Yin kings, I have published my estimation in China. Based upon evidence in the inscriptions, it is my opinion that those reigns were at least 140 years long."
Xueshun Liu
This is because the King was Wuding who reigned 50 years from 1393 BC to 1343 BC. Then from 1343 BC to 1174 BC is 169 years to. The fall of the Shang dynasty was in January 1174 BC.
King Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, probably was when he was middle aged and in battle against King Wending. Then from Wending's 12th year 1240 BC would be king Wan's first year when phoenixes appeared on mount K'e six months after Joshua's long day when the sun stood still again for Joshua in the battle of Merom.
"35th year of king Wen of Zhou, 1st month, day bingzi 13, during worship of the full moon the king announced, 'The many...eclipses are untimely, you should begin planning for the succession.'"
Yi Zhou shu. Xiao kai jie. ch.17
This must be the lunar eclipse visible just after sunset in China September 23, 1205 BC on day 13 of cycle 60. The first sun miracle was a year earlier, also on day 13, a sun miracle on Friday May 9, 1206 BC, day 13 of the first lunar month of spring from April 26, 1206 BC.
Thus, the second event also on a day 13, at the lunar eclipse September 23, 1205 BC was too much for king Wan. Thus, he made the statement the emperor should let him be emperor.
"In his 23rd year, he imprisoned the chief of the west in Yew-le."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.110
Te-sin's first year was 1227 BC. Then his 23rd year was in this 1205 BC when king Wan was imprisoned, perhaps just after his declaration, "eclipse is untimely". Imprisonment would be likely upon king Wan's statement.
Then the chronology before Wending 1250 BC - 1235 BC, must be Wu Ding in 1402 BC - 1343 BC, or less 9 years and just 50 years from 1393 BC - 1344 BC if the chronology of the Bamboo Books is followed. The best test of this would be the following lunar eclipse: Oracle bone eclipse V.
"In Wending's 12th year, (1239 BC), phoenixes collected on mount K'e."
"Note: which was the first year of king Wan."
The Chinese Classics. p.138.
All the pieces fit. The battle of Merom may be February 4, 1240 BC when the sun returned one year after the crossing of the river Jordan. Then one more year be king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC. Then Wending reigned 3 more years to 1235 BC. Then Te-yih reigned 9 years to 1226 BC. Then Te-sin reigned 52 years to emperor Wu 1174 BC.
King Wan's first year was supposed to be 64 years before the fall of the Shang dynasty. Then if the lunar date for emperor Wu was 1174 BC, then 65 years earlier than 1174 BC is 1239 BC.
"On the kea-tsze day (day 1), in the last month of autumn, a red bird came to Fung with a writing in its beak, which it put down at the door of Ch'ang."
The Chinese Classics III, The Bamboo Books, The Dynasty of Chow, p.143
The red bird must be the phoenix as recorded on day 1 of 60, the new moon, November 16, 1206 BC.
A different sun miracle in 1194 BC was taken for the appointment of Heaven for 9 years for king Wan to his death in 1186 BC. Then 42 years from king Wan's first year February 5, 1239 BC was the appointment of his son Wu in 1186 BC. The nine years bright appointment of Heaven for king Wan was from 1195 BC. 1193 BC was a 49th year jubile from 1242 BC:
In Te-sin's 31st and 32nd year it was recorded:
"In his 31st year, the chief of the west began to form a regualr army in Peih.."
"There was a conjunction of the five planets in Fang. A red crow lighted on the altar to the spirits in the land of Chow."
The Chinese Classics, The Bamboo Books, p.140
A peih is a jade disc the emperor dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle. The sun bird the crow was depicted with three legs. The red crow probably is the phoenix.
Here is a conjunction of the five planets in fang in 1198 BC. Then Te-sin's first year should be 31 years earlier in 1229 BC or 1227 BC.
Josephus wrote Joshua lived after the conquest of Palestine 25 years, and then there were 18 more years = 1241 BC - 25 - 18 = 1198 BC.
Or else, in this 1195 BC there be a sun miracle, the planets moved out of the way as in king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC.
In 1205 BC was the lunar eclipse in Te-sin's 23d year that king Wan was made captive. 1205 + 22 = 1227 BC. Thus, the planetary conjunction in fang - you can see Scorpius = fang, in Te-sin's 32nd year = 1198 BC rounding off the years.
Red crow is literally "red bird". The red bird may be the red phoenix. Also it was recorded there was a five planet conjunction in Fang. One possible date is about November 13, 1194 BC. Then the planets would be near to the sun moving past Fang/Scorpius. However, this could equally be a sun miracle in spring like the sun miracle of king Wan when there was a conjunction of the five planets in Fang as the sun moved from Virgo to Pisces and the planets from Fang/Scorpius to Taurus. You can see the conjunction November 13, 1194 BC:
On day 1 of cycle 60, In February 1, 1174 BC:
"On day jiazi, 1, the sun and moon were like linked jade annuluses and the five planets were like linked pearls. In the morning twilight at dawn King Wu reached Muye on the outskirts of Shang and followed Heaven's command in punishing king Zhou of Shang. Hence the blades of the weapons were not bloodied and all under Heaven was pacified."
East Asian Archaeology, p.241.
Emperor Wu began his victory day 29 of cycle 60, January 1, 1174 BC. Then this day jiazi, day 1 of cycle 60, would be the new moon, February 1, 1174 BC.
This must be rather day one, March 11, lunar day 19, Friday, of the Passover week of unleavened bread, king Wu's confirmed year 1170 BC as emperor 37 days later the new moon April 17, 1170 BC. This is a rewrite of "In his 12th year the king led the tribes of the west and the princes to attack Yin, and defeated Show in the wilderness of Muh. He took with his own hand Show prisoner in the tower of Nan-tan; and entered into the participation of the bright appointment of Heaven (sun moon), setting up to continue the sacrifices of his ancestors, Luh-foo, the son of Show, known as Woo-kang. In summer, in the fourth month, he returned to Fung and sacrificed in the ancestral temple."
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, the Dynasty of Chow, p 44.
Jesus rose from the dead, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD on day 36 of cycle 60 in China. April 17, 1170 BC was about 10 days later in 1170 BC than in 33 AD, in keeping with the season. Thus, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD was about the same calendar date as April 17, 1170 BC. Thus this day 37 of cycle 60 could be prophetic of Jesus' resurrection. The sun may have rose in the west on China Saturday, April 4, 33 AD, and the sun then may become very bright at the 9 AM point in China - rising in the west to travel east, whereupon becoming bright and passing east to west suddenly the resurrection morning, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
When the sun moved around the earth the planets were often recorded as being in alignment, or in a "pit" as they were moved out of the way of the sun moving around the earth.
In Wu's 12th year, in the fourth month May 19, 1173 BC there was a new moon on day 53 Bingshen. Perhaps the total eclipse on day Bingshen day 53 March 4, 1250 BC was taken as an omen for day 53 thus on the first of the month the day of cycle 60 was recorded for a new emperor Wu as it had been a sign for the new emperor Wending. Perhaps the solar eclipse March 4, 1250 BC was taken as an omen of day 53. Also, the day Jacob entered Egypt was April 1, 2307 BC, day 53 of cycle 60 when there may have been a sun miracle. Thus, day 53 could have been an omen for sun miracles.
In 1174 BC when Wu was in battle there was the appearance of a comet. However, comet Halley should have appeared in 1151 BC, in emperor Wu's 23rd year and last year: Nevertheless, counting forward from the earliest date of Halley in 1404 BC, 76 periods, to 1174 BC to emperor Wu's conquest. Even so this comet record needs not to be Halley's comet.
From Halley's comet's appearance in 1986 back to 12 BC = 1997 years = 25.93 X 77 years; .93 X 77 = 72 years = 5 years short of 26 X 77 years.
Or 1997 years / 76 = 26.28 X 76 years. .28 X 76 years = 21 years; 26 X 76 years plus 21 more years.
Therefore 77 year comet Halley orbits appear more accurate than 76 year orbits.
From Halley's comet's appearance in 240 BC back to 1152 BC = 1140 years = 15 X 76 years exactly. Phoenixes appeared, a sun miracle, in 1151 BC in emperor Ching's 18th year.
Nevertheless, 77 year orbits for comet Halley appear more accurate. The comet at emperor Wu's first year and battle victory in 1174 BC matches comet Halley.
The spear of Lu Yang tendered to the setting sun also match 465 BC and comet Halley. 465 BC - 240 = 228 / 76 = 3. From 240 BC are 3 times 76 year orbits to 465 BC.
"When King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou of Shang, a comet appeared and tendered its handle to Yin"
East Asian Archaeology, p.107.
This could be the time Wu was quoted in Lu Yang's battle when he swung his spear toward the sun, and the sun retreated three solar mansions. It was said that moving the spear in a certain way at a comet would bring victory.
There appear to be frequent sun miracles. Sun miracles in 155 BC, 149 BC and 142 BC are seven years apart. Thus, there may have been sun miracles every seven years at times. These years were the seventh year in Israel, the year of release. And then at other times there were long periods without sun miracles:
"Three years later, 114 BC, the authorities concerned said that in originating reign periods it would be appropriate to name them after auspicious signs from Heaven. First in 140 BC, second for the comet in 134 BC, third for the one horned animal captured in 122 BC.
Perhaps sun miracles occurred on these dates. 140 BC was just after the sun miracle of 142 BC, 134 BC was 7 years later = a sabbath year, 122 BC was 100 years before the beginning of the last jubile in Israel. 116 BC, 3 years before 113 BC, was a 49 year jubile.
Psalm 74:9 "We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long."
King Wan's dream with the five planet conjunction in Fang and the five planet conjunction in Fang in October at king Wan's bright appointment of Heaven 9 years before his death in 1186 BC may have driven the search:
"While the beginning of a day is dawn, a five-planet conjunction occurring at dawn, with a new moon, and the start of spring would truly be the beginning of all cycles, he said. For calendar makers, such a moment would also be an ideal starting point for counting days, months, years and planetary periods."
A thousand years went by, and perhaps many similar sun miracles on similar dates, but no exact fit, and so the astronomers concluded no such magical event ever did take place.
Chinese Calendar
Perhaps the conjunction 9 years before king Wan died in 1186 BC was a sun miracle in spring of 1194 BC, the sun in Virgo and the planets in Fang in the western quadrant at sunset just before the sun moved to Pisces, like king Wan's dream.
"In his (emperor Te-sin's 1179 BC) 48th year, the E goat was seen. Two suns appeared together."
Two suns means the sun stood still for two days. The E-goat: "this was a prodigious thing, 'a spirit-like animal,' - variously described.":
The Chinese Classics. p 141.
You can see the E-goat, then the word for together is a combination of the two horns of the E-goat and a diagram for together, that is two suns appeared together = the sun stood still for two days.
The E goat:
The E goat may be like the Kelin = Qilin, the unicorn.
"In the latter part of the description of Huang Ti in chapter six the author speaks of the appearance of the phoenix and the Ch'i-lin"
Huai Nan Tzu. p.165
Emperor Huang Ti: "Male and female phoenixes swirled over the court-yard, and the Ch'i-lin roamed about the open fields outside the city walls. Green dragons propelled the carriages, and flying yellow [horses] reclined in the stables."
Huai Nan Tzu. p.156
The comet or dragon = the E goat, often appeared when there was a sun miracle.
"After he burned the fish in sacrifice, and announced the event to Heaven. Lo! fire came down from heaven, and rested over Wang Uh, gradually floating away into a red bird, with a stalk of grain in its beak. The grain was in commemoration of the virtue of prince Tseih; the fire was an auspicious response from heaven to the burnt offering of the fish. Woo then went eastward and attacked Show,.."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p. 144.
Another translation for the sun miracle in the ninth year of king Wu - 1177 BC:
"As the prince Fa had got to the middle of the stream in his boat, a white fish entered it. The king knelt down and took it up. He then went on the bank and burned it, in sacrifice to Heaven. All the dukes said 'This is auspicious!'. On the fifth day there was a ball of fire which descended from above, till it came to the king's house, and there dissolved into a crow. Its colour was red; its voice was calm and decided; five times it came bringing a stalk of grain.."
"When King Wu was crossing the Ho, a white fish jumped into his boat in midstream. King Wu bent down and picked it up to use as a sacrifice. After crossing, there was a fire which came down which came down from above to the roof of the king's residence and transformed into a raven. Its colour was ochre. Its call went "P'o-p'o-p'o". At this time the feudal lords who met at Meng-chin without any prearrangement numbered eight hundred. The feudal lords all said, "Chow can be chastised!" King Wu said, "You do not know the heavenly mandate. He cannot be chastised as yet." Then he withdrew his troops and went home."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume 1, p.60.
The fire which came down may be a fire ball, a meteorite which often accompanied sun miracles. The red crow in the notes is likened to the "fire crane" the phoenix. The sound of the Phoenix, P'o, may have been why he was called the Hol in Hebrew, and Ho in Japan.
Poh in Hebrew means "here". Jupiter was in the Quail Fire constellation in 1177 BC while the sun passed through it in September just as it is projecting orbits backwards in TheSky astonomy program. This 1177 BC is the 14th year from the 50 year jubile in 1190 BC. The 15th lunar day of September was the release, in the seventh year of release, You will see here sun miracles often occurred on the seventh year of release and of fallow ground in Israel.
"Bear commenced to sing Tcexa. Tcexa. I wish darkness to prevail always...Coyote sang, Po'xa, po'xa, I wish light to come in the morning."
Teit, the Shuswap, Coyote and Grisly Bear make the seasons, and Night and Day, p.738
Rain was associated with the Thunderbird, the phoenix. The First Nation people in BC, Canada, have a legend of Tsuami with an earthquake, whale and thunderbird. When God moved the sun the stress on the earth should cause earthquakes.
The extreme forces, especially sudden gravity forces of moving the sun and the moving gravity from the sun, should cause earthquakes on earth.
Often God hid the bright thunderbird with dark thunder clouds. The Japanese called the phoenix the Ho. The Hebrews called the phoenix the Hol. Hol in Hebrew means swirling sand. Thus, perhaps a double meaning, both referring to the phoenix. God promised to bless Abraham's seed as the sand in number. However, the Hol, the phoenix, is blessed in years without number. Thus, the blessing may rather have been for years without number, eternal life for many. The rooster was associated with the phoenix, possibly because whenever the sun suddenly rose, the rooster cried.
"In the end Tsqtskna'sp (a climbing bird with red wings, tail and cheeks) became the sun."
Indian Myths & Legends from the North Pacific Coast of America, p.67
Here you can see this climbing bird, and even see the red chest under its beak:
Depicted on totem pole on left above - The Pacific Northwest has a legend of a crow stealing the sun from out of a box. The Raven flew up the smoke hole with the box of day light.
God could move the sun over the poles, south or north, to the other side of earth. The solar tide at 46% of the lunar tide would have to be halted or there would be noticeable affects.
From king Wan's dream: "A phoenix duck sang from mount K'e". The Chinese believed the phoenix had a beautiful song. The phoenix, the red bird, had a song, "P'o - P'o - P'o,"
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume 1, p.60.
In Hebrew this would sound like the word for here, here = Ho Ho. The Chinese named the fire bird constellation the Ho, the phoenix, perhaps because of the song of the phoenix.
In the legend of the rainmaker in Native North America, Ga'hga, called out "Ho, Ho, Ho" and it poured rain.
Coyote was going there, p.189
"Then sang the creatures called the phoenixes and the chalkidri. On his account every bird claps its wings., rejoicing at the giver of light, and they sang a song at the command of the Lord."
Secrets of Enoch, XV, p.17.
The Japanese called the phoenix the Ho. The Hebrews called the phoenix the Hol. A second meaning for Hol in Hebrew is swirling sand:
Job 29:18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand."
Thus, this word Hol must mean phoenix, because of the reference to his nest, rather than sand.
God promised to bless Abraham's seed as the sand in number. However, the Hol, the phoenix, is blessed in years without number. Thus, the blessing may rather have been for eternal life for many. The rooster in China was associated with the phoenix possibly because whenever the sun rose the rooster cried.
Psalm 133:3 "As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."
The phoenix is called, the Hol in Israel, the Ho in Japan. the P'o in China. The dragon in China was called the Lo or the Long.
Thus, the sound of the phoenix, P'o, is the same around the world.
Many oral traditions name House of the Sun as the place where demi god Maui snared the sun so it would slow its daily passage and give Maui's mother more time to dry her cloth.
There is a legend in the Fiji Islands of a long night.
On the other side of earth would be a long night, hence the short bed.
Isaiah 28:20 "For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."
"The Hervey Island Legend: Te-eroi and Te-tareva heard there was a land of light. They built two canoes 'weary of darkness' and 'sleepless nights'."
The Chinese described the phoenix as the angel that flew to the sun and moved the sun, the character for sun "Yang" with the character for bird. The character for the angel that moved the moon, the character for moon "Yin" with the character for bird. Thus the male and female phoenixes. The song of the phoenix P'o P'o the same as the phoenix in the Bible in Job the "Hol". Thus phonecally "Pho enix".
Job 29:18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the Hol."
Apollo stopped the chariot of the sun to listen to the song of the phoenix, perhaps another account of Joshua's long day.
Josiah burned the chariots of the sun:
2 Kings 23:11 "And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire."
Perhaps Joshua's long day was August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day"
"to go down" "bow" also means to return. Thus, the sun may have returned to the eastern horizon were it went down that day. Probably the sun stayed at the noon position for 24 hours.
Joshua 10:12a "Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon upon Ajalon."
Gibeon was on the 31:50 Latitude and 35:10 Longitude and Joshua 10 miles west in the Ajalon valley.
Givat Zeev is built on this location and you can see the first quarter moon, appears very small on the upper left, about where Joshua saw the moon that day. This was April 8, 2006 with the 10 day moon at 4 PM. This is not to suggest the author of the photo at Givat Zeev supports this thesis. The moon was just rising there at noon August 24, 1241 BC or setting in the Ajalon valley August 10, 1241 BC, rising on the six day moon or setting on the 21st day moon. Joshua was facing south in "the going down of Beth-hor-on"
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before the Israel, and were in the going down of Beth-hor-on, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died of the hail stones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon upon Ajalon."
The hail stones were so large as to be lethal.
God may have signaled through the thunder for Joshua to ask that the sun stand still.
Psalm 18:12 "At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."
The dragon recorded in China was so bright that heavy clouds appeared = the North American Thunderbird = thunder storms.
Hail can form very rapidly and be pushed up, staying stationary while more particles are being blown into it, until becoming very large before falling. A Hail storm may last 8 hours. The hail, clouds, came from the west. Joshua would have been able to see the sun through the clouds and the moon in the east where there were no clouds yet. Often thick clouds appeared when there was a sun miracle to hide God's glory.
Nevertheless, the moon may have been just setting in the west and the sun at noon, the moon very visible straight ahead to the west as Israel persued the Amorites down the western slope of Bethoron, the valley of Ajalon.
863 BC: "In his 7th year there were great rain and lightnings about the Keang and the Han; and oxen and horses died."
The Chinese Classics III. p.152
854 BC: "In winter, there was a storm of hail as large as whetstones."
The Chinese Classics III. p.152
363 BC: "In his 5th year, it rained peih stones in Ching. Some ground there suddenly became longer by 100 cubits and more, and higher by a cubit and a half."
The Chinese Classics III. p.171
Hail was mentioned in connection with sun miracles in 155 BC in 149 BC and 148 BC in China. That hail pounded the ground 5 inches deep in January in China. There would have to be a massive thunderhead to generate hail that big, hail stones that could kill. Hail stones that big would begin immediately, no time to seek cover.
May 31, 149 BC: "the earth quaked. It hailed in Heng-shan and Yuan-tu with the large stones measuring one ch'ih eight ts'un".
The Grand Scribes Records. Volume II. p.207.
"Hail can form as a result of strong updrafts in severe weather systems. A newly formed hailstone begins small but can grow as it meets a rising current of air and new drops of water cling to it." These updrafts may bring 90 km/h gusts of wind accompanied by lightning.
Job 38:22 "Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?"
Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand still at the going down of Beth-hor-on. "House of caves" = Beth-hor-on. The pass of Bethoron was a difficult part of the road from Jerusalem to the sea. Between the Upper and Lower or Nether Bethoron the distance is 1 3/4 miles, and the descent 700 feet. Beyond Lower Bethoron, the ravine widens out into the valley of Aijalon."
Cambridge Bible, Bible Dictionary, Beth-horon.
The sun perhaps directly south and above on his right hand and the moon setting on his left in the valley of Ajalon. The sun should descend a little as it made a direct path around the earth. The sun was at the August inclination at the start August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC. The sun rising in the west from the 11 PM position to the 12 PM position in 6 hours. Thus, the sun would be at the February inclination at 12 PM when Joshua asked God to stop the sun in the sky.
Then halfway, 12 more hours, the sun would be at the August inclination and near the middle of the sky, then 12 more hours and the sun would be at the February inclination before descending in the east. The sun passing through all the seasonal stages at noon from the February inclination, August inclination, and February inclination in 360° through 24 hours.
Ajloun is a town in Jordan, 30 miles North East of Gibeon. In summer, the sun rises from the north-east, and sets in the north-west. Further north at the north pole, the sun stays above the horizon all 24 hours of the day in summer.
Joshua may have been aware of the battle Gideon was fighting in the north that same day, and asked the moon stand still in this Ajloun valley on the Jordan side where Gideon pursued the kings Zeba and Zalmuna.
The Hebrew word for "in" is the same spelling for the word for "on". Hebrew has no vowels. The spelling is the same, only the pronunciation is different. "bay" means "on", "bah" means "in the". Jesus prayed:
Matthew 6:10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
Thus, the same word may mean "in the valley of Ajalon". Thus, as Joshua was beginning to chase the Amorites down Bethoron, he should see the first quarter, six day, moon, "in" the gap, the valley of Ajalon to the east.
Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, when the fall equinox was October 1, 1241 BC. 35 days before the fall equinox. The maximum length of day is 45 days before the fall equinox. Thus, the sun and moon on Joshua's long day would rise and set in the north-east and then the north-west.
The six day moon would be more visible because the sun, and the moon, rose in the west on Joshua's all night ascent from Gilgal to Gibeon = the sunrise in the west for Gideon at the middle watch.
Thus, instead of a barely noticeable rising six day moon in the west, a bright six day moon rise in the east and the same six day moon be at the eastern horizon = easy to follow and see. Thus, Joshua could point both to the noon sun and the six day moon.
Thus, the moon stayed in Ajalon, perhaps in the north-east = sun and moon staying in the same sky position while revolving 360° around the earth. The sun and moon travelling 360° east, moving up and down with earth's 23.5° tilt, but appearing to stand still in the sky. Gideon's battle in the north of Israel may have been at the same time as Joshua's long day or the crossing of the Jordan river February 4, 1241 BC. The Ajalon in Joshua 10:13 may refer to the Ajalon in the north-east instead of the Ajalon to the west of Gibeon.
Nevertheless, August 10, 1241 is half an orbit after February 4, 1241 BC when Israel crossed the river Jordan. August 10, 1241 BC was lunar day 21 meaning the moon would be on the western horizon in the Ajalon valley when the sun was at noon above Gibeon.
This battle at Gibeon when David was king of Judah:
1 Samuel 23:19 "Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?"
The word for south is: on the right hand H3225 yamiyn. Thus, if Joshua points with his right hand toward the south, he must point with his left hand toward the moon in the east.
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
Thus, Joshua pointed to the sun with his spear in his right hand when he asked God to make the sun stay at the noon position.
A website using Google Earth depicts this battle in a steep descent going south a few miles west from Gibeon down from the plain opposite the town of Bethoron.
Ramah, Samuel's tomb:
To the left you can see the plateau just to the northwest where Joshua chased the Amorites to the descent, just out of view, and would be facing southwest in the going down of Bethoron. This all happened in the small area nearest Gibeon. In a barren field to the right of the road to Gibeon (between roads) is where Israeli archeaologists are digging up traces of Joshua's campaign that day. To the upper left is Timna-Heres of Joshua. This may also be mount Heres where the Amorites dwelt. Heres means the sun.
Looking north from Ramah, at Samuel's tomb, to Gibeon, a very small town, in the center just below.
The following pictures of Gibeon and Bethoron were taken September 16, 2010. This is about the time of year Jesus was born, September 13, 7 BC. If Joshua's long day was September 20, 1241 BC, in today's date it would be September 10, 2010.
In a picture of the same view, the first quarter moon is just above the eastern horizon and the sun about 2 PM.
The Glory of the Holy Land, p.293
Here you see the noon day sun from Ramah looking down on Gibeon. The noon day sun is at 60° above the horizon this September 13, 2010 AD. On Joshua's long day August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, the sun should be at 70° above the horizon - almost equal to the middle of the whole sky that would be 90° above the horizon. Thus the sun would be 10° higher at Joshua's long day than this.
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven"
From Ramah, Joshua may be watching the battle, the sun on his right and the moon on his left, when he asked God to make the sun and moon stand still.
There are many verses in the bible with the reference "his right hand".
Psalm 89:25 "I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers."
Here you will see the going down of Bethoron:
It was down this steep hill, the going down of Bethoron, facing southwest at the end of the plateau that Joshua made his request to God. The modern town of Bethoron is on the upper left, in the west facing north. Then Joshua descended against Bethoron depicted here on the north of the ravine.
This is the sight of two battles for David in 1084 BC. There may have been a sun miracle when Saul and Jonathan were killed in this 1084 BC. Both Joshua's long day and this battle of Saul are in the book of Jasher.
However, Jasher in Joshua 10:13 does not appear in the Septuagint, and Jasher in 2 Samuel 1:18 does appear in the Septuagint but Jasher does not appear in 2 Samuel 1:18 in the Vulgate.
The oldest parts of the Bible often are the songs like in the book of Jasher, the prayer of Habakkuk:
However, in Joshua 10:13 in the Septuagint the book of Jasher is not mentioned.
The context of the sun standing still is complete and even without the book of Jasher is certainly true.
Habakkuk 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
Other songs: the song of Moses Exodus 15, the song of Miriam Exodus 15:20, the song of Moses Deuteronomy 32, the song of Deborah Judges 5. These songs, Exodus 15 and Judges 5, were not written in contiunuous lines, but were written in a format called half brick on top of whole brick in which each line is alternately broken up into two or three segments in three columns spaced out in the Aleppo Codex and in the Sassoon Codex. The song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32 is written in two columns spaced out = left and right justified, in the Aleppo Codex.
The Sassoon Codex on the last page of Deuteronomy gives the total number of verses in the Pentatuech, the five books of Moses = 5,845 verses - to be sure there were no copy errors.
The Leningrad Codex, Judges 5:31:
The Leningrad Codex, Judges 5:31a:
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
Jasher 88:63 "And when they were smiting, the day was declining toward evening, and Joshua said in the sight of all the people "Sun stand you still upon Gibeon, and you Moon in the valley of Ajalon until the nation will have avenged itself upon its enemies"
64 "And the Lord harkened to the voice of Joshua, and the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day."
36 moments may be 36 hours. The book of Jasher first appeared in 1552 AD. Still this was before Galileo discovered earth orbits the sun in 1610 AD. The sun revolving around the earth for 36 hours to stand still in the sky would equal the sun back on the other side of the earth and earth could flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Sirach 46:4 "Did he not by his power stop the sun, so that one day became two?"
Sirach 46:4 "Did not the sun go back by his hand? And didn't one day become as two?"
Sirach is a work of ethical teachings, from approximately 200 to 175 BC, written by the Jewish scribe Ben Sira of Jerusalem" Wikipedia.
The Dead Sea Scroll fragment 1QM XVIII, 5 seems to rely on Joshua 10:13.
The Judges Dead Sea Scroll contains Judges 4:5 - 4:6. And provide the context of a sun miracle just as the Dead Sea Scrolls contain Joshua 10:10 - 10:11.
There is a triangle after Joshua 10:11 in the Dead Sea Scrolls BIBLE, Joshua. p.207 that indicates a space of more than two verses to the next line. Thus, there is space in the Dead Sea Scrolls for Joshua's long day in the next verses in Joshua 10:12 and Joshua 10:13.
Judges 4:5 "And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
4:6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? "
Joshua 10:13 "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
2 Samuel 1:17 "And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
1:18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
1:19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!"
2 Samuel 23:4 "And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain."
These words of David appear to speak of the resurrection morning of Jesus.
Rain and sun miracle often go together, such as for Joshua's long day.
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
Psalm 18:11 "He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies."
The Chinese say the clouds covered the phoenix and the dragon because he was so bright when ever there was a sun miracle.
"In the Eastern Sea, there is to be found an animal which looks like an ox. Its appearance is green, and it has no horns. It has one foot only. When it moves into the water or out of it, it causes wind or rain. Its shining is similar to that of the sun and the moon. The noise it makes is like the thunder. Its name is K'uei. The great Huang-ti, having captured it, made a drum out of its skin."
M. Granet, Danses et legendes de la Chine ancienne, 1959, p. 509. - Hamlet's Mill, p.126.
"but when the sun ariseth they flee away" fading away like the stars of the morning.
Nahum 3:17 "Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are."
Psalm 18:1 "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength."
Psalm 18:11 "He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."
The hail in Joshua 10:11 when Joshua asked God to stop the sun in the sky is also typical to the Chinese legend of the dragon. The dragon was so bright that thick clouds and rain and hail hid him. In one case the hail penetrated the ground six inches.
2 Samuel 5:17 "But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
5:18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
5:19 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
5:20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
5:21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
5:22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
5:23 And when David enquired of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
5:24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
5:25 And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer."
1 Chronicles 16:37 "So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
16:38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
16:39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,"
"In his, Ch'aou's, 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible.".."In his 19th year, in the spring, a comet appeared in the space Tsze-mei (including the stars around the north pole). The duke of Tse and the baron of Sin followed the king against Ts'oo. The heavens were dark and temptestuous. Pheasants and hares were terrified. The king's armies perished in the Han. The king died."

King Muh reigned 59 years from 967 BC to 907 BC. Then King Ch'aou may have died in 968 BC = King Asa of Judah's 15th year = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD:
"In his 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible. In autumn, in the 7th month, the people of Loo killed their ruler Tsae."
The Chinese Classics. p.149.
The Chinese may have taken a sun miracle on the seventh month, that should also be the Hebrew seventh month, of Yom Kippur, the 50 year jubile = Jesus fulfilled.
This 14th year should be 973 BC or 972 BC = 1000 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, on Yom Kippur, in the seventh month, September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Then, Ch'ao's 14th year may have been 973 BC, in even 50 year jubiles to when Jesus fulfilled the jubile and spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4, Friday, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep."
2 Chronicles 15:15 "And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about."
2 Chronicles 15:19 "And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa."
2 Chronicles 16:12 "And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians"
Jesus lived to 38.5 years and Asa was diseased when he reigned into his 39th year.
2 Chronicles 20:31 "And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
Jesus began his three and a half year ministry when he turned 35 years old.
"Why bees fell silent during the 2017 solar eclipse"
Ch'aou's 19th year should be about 1085 BC = 1168 BC - Ching's 37 - Kang's 26 - Ch'aou's 19 = 1085 BC = the first year David was king of Judah.
The darkness in Ch'aou's 19th year may be a sun miracle when David was made king of Judah. However, from King K'ang's death in 1107 BC 19 years of Ch'aou is 1088 BC.
It is not certain if Ch'aou reigned from the death of King K'ang in 1107 BC or 19 years before King Muh of China in 984 BC = the first year of King Asa of Judah. Muh became emperor of China in 965 BC = about 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
There is a gap of 2 X 60 year cycles between King Ch'aou and King Muh, either Ch'aou after Kang or beforfe Muh.
Then 4 years later David was king 40 years from 1084 BC to 1044 BC, David king over all Israel from 1077 BC to 1044 BC. David was 70 in 1044 BC, he was 37 in 1077 BC when he became King over all of Israel = the age Jesus was when he was tried as the King of Israel.
2 Samuel 2:4 "And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul."
2 Samuel 2:11 "And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months."
Thus, seven years six months plus thirty-one years = thirty-eight years six months old when he became King of all Israel.
Likewise, Solomon's temple was in building from his fourth year in the second month, Zif, and completed in his eleventh year in the eighth month, Bul = seven years six months.
Ch'aou's 19th year could be 1068 BC and his 14th year 1173 BC. Most likely Ch'aou's 19th year was 1086 BC and his 14th year 1091 BC = the 50 year jubilee from 1241 BC. There is a 120 year gap, perhaps from 1086 BC to King Muh in 968 BC.
Or Ch'aou reigned 19 years from about 985 BC to King Muh in 966 BC. Then Ch'aou's first year in 985 BC be also the year King Abijah died in 984 BC.
Ch'aou's first year = Asa's first year in 984 BC, perhaps a sun miracle that year. The sun miracle in Ch'aou's 14th year be in the 50 year jubile 971 BC, the jubile from Joshua's long day from 1241 BC to 971 BC.
From 1091 BC to the captivity 591 BC are 10 X 50 year jubiles. The captivity of 70 years from 591 BC to 521 BC was punishment for not keeping the seventh fallow year of the land = this 10 X 7 years.
David was King from 1084 BC. Thus, both sun miracles in 1073 BC and in 1068 BC be in David's reign.
Forward from Ching's first year in 1168 BC, Ch'aou's 19th year = 1089 BC; about the 50th jubile year from 1241 BC.
Or counting, 36 years from 1168 BC = 1132 BC = of King Ching, 25 years of King K'ang to 1107 BC, 19 years of King Ch'aou, to the spring = Passover in Israel = 1088 BC. Saul reigned 40 years from 1124 BC to 1184 BC.
The sun was darkened at noon when Jesus was on the cross. "The heavens were dark and temptestuous" in China in King Ch'aou's 19th year, may be the sun darkened as on this same Passover day. Noon in Israel is sunset in China.
The Kings of China always began their reign in spring. Perhaps this was because of a sun miracle pointing to the Passover when Jesus would suffer on the cross.
This day may be the battle where King Saul and his son Jonathan were killed. Darkness from the sixth hour to the ninth hour = darkness from noon to 3 PM. Then there may be day from 3 PM to sunset at 6 PM.
1 Samuel 31:13 "And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days."
This seven day fast may be the seven days of unleavened bread from the Passover.
Gibeon, the site of Joshua's battle and Long Day, the site of David's two battles in 1 Kings 5, is also the site of the battle by Judas Maccabee.
Because the valley up Bethoron is very narrow, who takes the gap wins the battle. Thus, the day/night of Hanukkah, that lasted 8 nights, on Saturday, December 12, 164 BC.
Here you can see the going down of Bethoron = house of caves. There is a cave at the bottom of the hill used for grain storage.
A Rabbi built a house here about 2001. He said the light changes during the day, and when it rains "we get rainbows!".
The valley opens up below. The Aijalon valley connecting south to the Elah valley of David and Goliath. Joshua must have been travelling south-west when he made his request to God that the sun and moon would stand still.
Psalm 44:3 "For they got not the land in possession with their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hast favour unto them."
This may refer to the right hand of Joshua commanding the sun. "the light of thy countenance" may refer to the brightness of God coming to their defense and moving the sun to stand still in the sky. The hail and rain may have passed over, as in Habakkuk 3:10 and Joshua 10:11. However, the hail may be connected to the sun miracle:
Jeremiah 10:12 "He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
10:13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures."
Habakkuk 3:10 "The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high."
"and lifted his hands on high" = a gesture for taking a solemn oath. Perhaps the sky is swearing to witness, or participate in, the cataclysmic events unfolding."
The Hebrew Bible, by Robert Alter.
Perhaps Joshua was entering the valley of Ajalon when he commanded the sun to stand still on Gibeon and the moon to stand still to the west in the valley of Ajalon. The command was for the moon to stay, as if the moon did not stay the moon would disappear and set, and that in the valley = to the west, as well.
The moon must be either the six day moon to the east, or the 21 day moon to the west when the sun was a noon.
The moon must be to the west when the sun at noon, August 10, 1241 BC, when Joshua made his request to God. Then, 365 days and 179 days later, on February 5, 1239 BC, was the six day moon of king Wan.
From Bethshemesh looking northeast. You can see the red tower:
From Ramot, above Bethoron, you can see the same red tower looking south.
Makkedah was about this same Bethshemesh = house of the sun.
Here is a map of the route of Joshua's conqest that day.
Below you see Mount Tabor. Gideon in August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, chased the midianites down the mountain, and Barak and Deborah chased Sisera down the mountain on February 4, 1240 BC or August 10, 1240 BC or February 5, 1239 BC.
Joshua 10:11 "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died:
Judges 5:20 "They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
The reference "from the Heavens" שָׁמַיִם is 2 Samuel 22 = Psalm 18 = God moving the sun.
Isaiah 9:4 "For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
9:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire."
Meteor showers may be the answer of God against the five kings Joshua chased, and the Midianites Gideon chased, and the Canaanites Barak and Deborah chased. Hot meteorites may cause a forest fire. Meteorites may be drawn into the path of earth as the sun revolved around the earth. Meteor showers occur mostly after 12 AM when earth is facing its space in front as it orbits the sun. Thus, meteor showers 12 hours after the sun first moved.
To explain, the sun rose in the west shortly after midnight. After midnight earth is facing the asteroids in its path as it moves 60,000 miles an hour around the sun. Thus, asteroids would hit the earth much harder = worlds in collision. In early August we now have the Perseids shower. 'The earliest record of Perseid activity comes from the Chinese annals, where it is said that in 36 AD "more than 100 meteors flew thither in the morning."'
In Earth's normal counter clockwise orbit, the forward part of earth that is travelling forward, is exposed to asteroids in its path from midnight to dawn.
Thus, when meteor showers were recorded after sunset, often earth may have been in a reverse orbit. People normally go to bed after dark, meaning most people would see meteor showers before midnight, before they went to bed. Also, on the day/night of a sun miracle, the direction of the earth's reverse orbit - going into or out of a reverse orbit - would mean a fresh new area of space and asteroids and also a new direction of orbit of asteroids = many head on collisions of asteroids and many new asteroids in earth's new orbit path.
Thus, the phrase "stars fell like rain" - when Hezekiah died on a sun miracle, the 15 years God promised him, after the sun retreated 10 steps the Passover, the full moon, Saturday, March of 703 BC, 15 years later, the new moon, day 28 of cycle 60, March 28, 688 BC.
In 28-33 AD there were several sun miracles that could cause meteor showers. Earth was in a reverse orbit since February 4, 1241 BC. So by August 10, 1241 BC, half an orbit later, earth was in the normal Persied August position travelling in reverse. Thus, the Israelites would see meteorites streak across the sky before the sun rose in the west.
They may have witnessed meteorites guided by God strike the armies of the Amorites as they reached the top at Gibeon and made a surprise attack. Gideon may have observed the same shower 100 miles further north at the same time. Then a hail storm in both places with lightning.
Luke 10:18 "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
Mount Tabor:
King Jabin is in Joshua 11 and Judges 4 = the same battle.
Mount Tabor is in Judges 4 = the battle of Deborah and Barak, and Judges 8 = the battle of Gideon.
Judges 4:6 "And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?"
Judges 4:12 "And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor."
Judges 4:14 "And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."
Judges 8:18 "Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
Joshua's long day was when Joshua chased the Amorites down Bethoron to the west, and at the same time when Gideon chased the Midianites to the east, and when the sun then set in the east. Both from Gibeon down Bethoron and from mount Tabor down to Penuel are steep slopes. The sun rising in the west and setting in the east Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC, was a type of Jesus in the tomb on the Sabbath, Saturday, April 4, 33 AD. Then the sun shortly after setting in the east, rose suddenly in the east Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or August 11, 1241 BC, or February 4, 1241 BC = Jesus' resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Jacob at Penuel after wrestling with the angel of God at the sudden sunrise in the east about 2341 BC = Gideon at Penuel also at the sudden sunrise in the east, Sunday, August 25, 1241 BC, or August 11, 1241 BC, 1100 years later = Jesus' resurrection.

Genesis 32:31 "And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh."
Judges 8:8 "And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him."
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun ascended."
II Kings 20:5 "Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus, saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
20:6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
20:8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
20:9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
20:10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
For the shadow of the sun to retreat ten hours is an even bigger sun miracle than for the sun to move with earth's rotation for a day. The sun would have to move at least twice the speed to stand still in the sky. Even the sun may move very fast and retreat from the sunset position to the sunrise position, moving 180° in under one hour. The sun moving at 80% of the speed of light would dim by 60%.
Psalm 102:11 "My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass."
The Latin Vulgate:
2 Kings 20:11 "invocavit itaque Esaias propheta Dominum et reduxit umbram per lineas quibus iam descenderat in horologio Ahaz retrorsum decem gradibus"
The Latin Vulgate in English:
"And Isaias, the prophet, called upon the Lord, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone down on the dial of Achaz. "
The Wycliffe Bible:
2 Kings 20:11 "Then Isaiah, the prophet, called inwardly (upon) the Lord, and brought again backward by ten degrees the shadow by the same lines, by which it had gone down then in the horologe of Ahaz. (Then the prophet Isaiah inwardly called to the Lord, and brought the shadow backward by ten degrees, by the same lines by which it had gone forward on Ahaz's sundial.) "
The word degrees was also called lines. Thus from the earliest Bible translation the word degrees was mistakenly used.
The German Die Bibel "zhen Striche" = "ten strokes" on a sun dial.
The Italian La Bibbia "dieci passi" = "ten steps" on a sun dial.
The Polish Bible Pismo Swiete "ze cien stopni" = "from ten shadows" on a sun dial.
From the Septuagint:
From Strong's Concordance, Greek definition:
From A Concordance of the Septuagint:
The Septuagint:
2 Kings 20:9 "And Esaias said, this is the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow [of the dial] shall advance ten degrees; or if it should go back ten degrees [this would also be the sign].
20:10 And Ezekias said, it is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; nay but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial.
20:11 And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the sun dial."
Thus, the word "degrees" appears first in the Greek Septuagint. The Masoretic Hebrew uses the word "steps".
Some people mistakenly assume "ten degrees" means ten degrees of a 360 degree circle.
Thus, the English ten degrees must be translated from the Greek Septuagint rather than the Hebrew, much like the Red Sea - Greek, and the Reed Sea - Hebrew.
The Passover the full moon Sunday, March 31, 703 BC. The third day was Tuesday, the third day of the week.
According to the tract Sanhedrin 96a, the sun set 10 hours early on the death of Ahaz, so as not to allow time for Israel to mourn an evil king.
Sanhedrin 94a lists Hezekiah's eight other names.
Sanhedrin 10.3 "Like as this day goes and returns not, so do they go and return not...Like as the day grows dark and then grows light, so also after darkness is fallen upon the Ten Tribes shall light hereafter shine upon them."
In China there was a solar eclipse record for day 42, March 27, 719 BC, on a full moon = Passover, when there was no solar eclipse on that exact year of 58 of cycle 60 and was not the solar eclipse of day 6 of cycle 60, February 22, 720 BC.
A year later would be when Ahaz died at the end of the month of Adar, March 27, 718 BC when the sun must return and produce Ahaz's sign at his death. Hezekiah's sign was then in 703 BC, 14 years later. There may have been an hour of darkness at noon Friday, March 29, 703 BC when Hezekiah prayed, and asked for a sign. Then after the sun set in the west that afternoon, the sun may have risen in the west.
Isaiah 7:11 "Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD."
Probably Hezekiah's Sign was the sun retreating from the west to the east Saturday, March 30, 703 BC just as the sun may have retreated from the west to the east on the Sabbath day following Jesus' crucifixion. Thus, the upper sun dial of Ahaz would be high enough to cast a shadow at sunset and sunrise.
On December 12, 164 BC the Chinese recorded the sun rose in the west to the meridian. There may be a pattern of the noon day sun in Israel retreating to the eastern horizon. When Isaiah was instructed by God to ask Hezekiah for a sign, that the sun suddenly set in the west or set in the east, it may have been noon in Israel.
Then for the sun to move 90° from noon to the eastern horizon the sun would have to actually move 180° because earth rotates towards the east.
The ten steps = ten hours. Thus, the sun must move more than 360° probably 3 X 180° for earth to flow into or out of a reverse orbit.
Then on Sunday, March 31, 703 BC, the third day, the day of the Passover - the full moon, the sun may have brilliantly and suddenly rose in the east whereupon Hezekiah was healed. According to Jewish tradition, Hezekiah was healed on the first day of the Passover. Jesus' crucifixion was on April 3, 33 AD about the same time of the year. Thus, the connection to the Resurrection Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead.
Then also 15 years later to the day, Hezekiah may have died March 28, 688 BC on day sin mao = 28 of cycle 60, when stars fell like rain in China probably when the sun moved to the other side of the earth, asteroids becoming meteorites as they moved into earth's path. 688 BC is sin-mao also year 28 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC.
Asteroids orbit the sun the same way earth and the planets do. Move the sun to the other side of earth, and earth would hit asteroids head on in its path. Joshua 10:11 may concern hail stones. Nevertheless, there are many Chinese records of raining gold meteorites. And there are some large gold asteroids near earth's orbit.
See Asteroid mining.
Here you can see how the sun would appear retreating from the noon position to the dawn position for Hezekiah, travelling in a straight line around the sun in 30 hours. Similarly, Joshua would also see the sun stay at the noon position for 24 hours yet also rise and fall if the sun travelled in a straight line around the earth because earth's axis is at 23.5° from 90°.
The sun must have rose in the west the night Joshua went up from Gilgal to help the Gibeonites. Then, at battle at noon, Joshua must have asked God to make the sun stand still in the sky.
Thus, the sun would stay, not only that, the sun should stay at the same exact position for 24 hours. Then the sun must set in the east.
Thus, this diagram applies also to Joshua's long day. Either the sun travelled around the earth in a straight line appearing to go up and down, or the sun moved up and down to appear to stand at the exact same position. The sun must pass 5 X 180° on Joshua's long day. However, the sun passing west to east faster than standing still in the sky for the 2 X 180° = 24 hours, does not back up time.
Passing west to east, then east to west, the coverage of sunlight is one sixth as inefficiant as normal days. This is just like irrigating back and forth instead of in a continuous circle - one end is over watered, one end is under watered. That 3 X 180° travel from west to east simply equals a 12 hour day. There must be long days = 48 hours to counter the 48 hours sped up reverse earth orbit.
Thus, after the sun had been in the sky at the noon position for 24 hours, the sun take more than six hours to set in the east. Then the sun may travel a little slower west to east to lengthen the day.
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
"hastened not to go down" more than the sun standing still at noon for 24 hours, these words may also describe that after that 24 hours at noon, the sun proceeded to set in the east in more than six hours. From noon to set in the east may describe more than 12 hours. Thus, that reverse orbit year there were 48 hours of long days in total.
The sun may travel around the earth in a straight line and you would see the sun rise and fall as in these diagrams or the sun may stay in sync with its elevation to keep earth in the same season the whole long day.
If the sun stood still in the sky for 60 hours, the sun should appear to move south and north two and a half times to the winter position then to the summer position. This is a great amount of sideways movement. Depending on time of day the sun stood still and for how long, the sun would appear to spiral.
However, after moving the sun, God must keep the sun at the same inclination = season. At least the sun must stop at this same inclination. Thus, more probably God moved the sun up and down and not in a straight line around the sun. Also, the solar tide should be the same if God moved the sun up and down as He moved the sun around the earth.
Joshua then may see the sun stand still at the same height same position for 24 hours as God moved the sun up and down around the earth.
Or, Joshua may see the noon day sun move up and down in 24 hours = from a summer sun to a winter sun.
From NASA: "the Sun would have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still."
This specific way must mean the sun moved up and down in its movement around the earth in order to stay in the same position as seen from our spinning earth.
Habakkuk 3:10 "The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
3:11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
The long day lasted 24 hours at noon. "the overflowing of the water passed by" means the hail and rain passed by as the weather changed in the next 30 hours to sunset.
The summer heat on this August 10, 1241 BC means the cloud rain and hail should give way to sunshine. And thus, looking at the clear noon day sun the people may see the phoenix, the sun angel in its brilliance, moving the sun at 20 million miles per hour to make the sun stand still in the sky.
To stand still in their habitation should mean to stand still in exactly the same place in the sky for 24 hours.
For Joshua's spear to be glittering may mean the bright noon day sun = for 24 hours.
"Habitation", Strong's 2073, can also mean height. "They went" can mean the sun and moon moved in order to remain at the same height.
That the children of Israel understood the sun and moon went around the earth to stand still in the sky means they must have understood the sun does not go around the earth each day.
"According to the commandement the sunne was directed by the weapons of thy people, that fought in thy cause, as though it durst not goe forward." Notes in the Geneva Bible 1594.
The Geneva Bible was printed before Galileo. They thought the sun went around the earth each day. Thus, "as though it durst not goe forward" they thought the sun was stopped from moving.
Joshua 10:12b (Hebrew reads from right to left) "Joshua spake before the eyes of Israel: Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon, thou Moon upon Ajalon" The letter Kaf beside Gibeon = upon Gibeon.
"before the eyes of Israel" = Israel were eye witnesses.
2 Peter 1:16 "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
From the right the last word on the top line = Upon Gibeon:
Here you can see the full context in Hebrew English. Note the excamation mark ! Sun stand still on Gibeon moon stand still on Ajalon!
Here you can the same verses, from the Aleppo Codex in the Jerusalem Crown:
Here you can the same verses, from the Aleppo Codex. This copy from 920 AD is the oldest copy of Joshua's long day in Joshua 10:12 - 14. The Dead Sea Scrolls only contains the fragment Joshua 10:10 - 11. Thus, the next verse of Joshua's long day follows, as in the Greek Septuagint also.

Habakkuk 3:1 "A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3:3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
3:4 And his brightness was as the light; he had rays coming forth from his hand; and there was where his power was hidden.
3:5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
3:6 He stood, and measured the earth; he beheld, and made the nations tremble; and the eternal mountains were shattered; the everlasting hills did bow; his goings were as of old.
3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in great affliction: and the curtains of Midian did tremble.
3:8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
3:9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

Daniel 2:21 "And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise and knowledge to them that know understanding:
2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."
The changing of the times and seasons may mean the sun being moved 180° to the other side of earth and that zodiac sign the sun was now in was 6 months away and the zodiac was progressing in reverse.
God promised Hezekiah 15 more years to the day. Hezekiah was 39 at this Passover, the same age as Jesus when he was crucified. Isaac was 39 years old when Abraham went to offer him April BC = Sarah 127 years old = Isaac born when Sarah was 90 years old.
"Some Talmudic sages teach that Isaac was an adult aged thirty seven"
Joseph was 39 when his father Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. David was 39 when he became King of Israel. Jesus' accusation above his cross "The King of the Jews". Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became King to his 14th year = 704 BC = even 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice at the Passover, April 3, 33 AD. The sun may have rose in the west and set in the east the Sabbath day Jesus was in the tomb, April 4, 33 AD.
"In his "King Hwan or King Huan" 16th year (703 BC from 718 BC), in the spring, K'euh-yuh extinguished Yih as the capitol of Tsin."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.161
Thus, the sun miracle of Hezekiah in the spring of 703 BC prompted emperor Huan to move the capitol. The same thing happened in 1281 BC after the three days of darkness of Exodus the emperor took it as an omen to move the capitol.
"In his first year, which was jin-yin (39th of cycle = BC 1158 + 120 years = 1278 BC.) he (Wu Yi) dwelt in Yin. The prince of Pin removed to Chow near mount K'e. In his 3rd year, the king removed from Yin to the north of the Ho."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.37
Woo-Yih, or Wu Yi, reigned from 1284 BC, his third year would be the year of the Exodus in 1281 BC. The omen of the three days of darkness on the new moon, March 15, 1281 BC may be his reason to remove from Yin to the north of the Ho.
Wu Yi is given 35 years from 1147 BC to 1122 BC but should be 35 years from 1285 BC to 1250 BC. Even from 1285 BC are 39 years to 1245 BC = the 38.5 years of Jesus' life. Thus, the sun miracles; three days darkness in Egypt, of Exodus that third year of Wu Yi, spring of 1281 BC, could have been seen as an Omen from Heaven, a sign to move the capitol of China.
The Exodus was in the spring of 1281 BC just a few years before this 1278 BC.
Geneva Bible Notes:
"Let the sunne goe so many degrees backe that the houres may be so many the fewer in the King's diall. Which diall was set in the rop (rope - Middle English not top) of the staires that Ahaz had made."
Rope is meant, not top. The first letter is an r not a t. Rope originally in English was rap then rop then rope.
Matthew 19:24 "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
The word camel phonetically is also rope. Rope is far too thick to thread a needle.
Isaiah 5:18 "Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart ropeH5688:"
H5688 עֲבֹתָה עֲבוֹת עֲבֹת ‛ăbôth ‛ăbôth ‛ăbôthâh ab-oth', ab-oth', ab-oth-aw' The same as H5687; something intwined, that is, a string, wreath or foliage: - band, cord, rope, thick bough (branch), wreathen (chain).
Joshua 2:15 "Then she let them down by a cordH2256 through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall."
H2256 חֵבֶל חֶבֶל chebel chêbel kheh'-bel, khay'-bel From H2254; a rope (as twisted), especially a measuring line; by implication a district or inheritance (as measured); or a noose (as of cords); figuratively a company (as if tied together); also a throe (especially of parturition); also ruin: - band, coast, company, cord, country, destruction, line, lot, pain, pang, portion, region, rope, snare, sorrow, tackling.

Early sun dials had a gnomon hanging from a rope to cast a shadow on a marked floor. The rope was elevated or lowered to tell the correct time depending upon the season. Perhaps these early translators imagined a stairway with rope for the gnomon like the Temple Steps depicted below. I saw a video of a sunset on the Temple Mount.
The shadow from the local hill was sharp on the temple mount. Thus, this shadow would extend across all ten steps of the Temple Steps and represent a 180° movement of the sun.
The upper sundial of Ahaz must be very high. The ten steps on the sun dial would be ten lines, not temple steps, that would equal ten hours. Thus steps = lines on the upper sundial of Ahaz.
The sun dial may have been put on the top of a column for all to see.
2 Kings 23:12 "And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz"
The upper sundial and the upper chamber, both of Ahaz.
Perhaps a sun miracle in 313 BC the chinese took as an omen for a new emperor. Then, the sun may return one year later in the sun miracle of this 312 BC.
"In his 1st year (King Yin), which was ting-we (44th of cycle, = B.C. 313), in the 10th month, king Seuen of Ch'ing came to acknowledge submission in our court Leang. Tsze-che of Yen attempted to kill his ruler's eldest son P'ing but without success. The army of Ts'e killed Tsze-che, and made pickle of his body.
"In his (King Yin's) second year, 312 BC, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit. Wei made Chang E its prime minister."
James Legge stated "We had the account of a similar phenomenon before, tho' ...here occasions difficulty.". That is the character for lengthened repeated means really lengthened or suddenly lengthened.
The Chinese Classics III, p.175
2 Kings 20:9 "And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?"
The sun must have suddenly moved westward. The ten degrees are really ten steps. The ten cubits the sun's shadow suddenly lengthened should be like these ten steps. The same kind of sun miracle, sun went backwards for Hezekiah and Isaiah in 703 BC = the 49 year jubile and sun went forward this 312 BC also = the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Chang E was the princess, the wife of Yi = who Yao employed to shoot the sun that stood still for nine days, that ascended to the moon. whereupon Yao was made emperor of China, when the sun that stood still in the sky, and moved to the other side of the earth, and the moon also moved to the other side of the earth = we would see the far side of the moon. Whereupon princess Chang E ascended to the far side of the moon.
God must move the moon 180° and everyone would see the far side of the moon. To rotate the moon to keep the same side facing the earth, would be like stopping earth's rotation, and not really plausible. So, the appointment of Chang E may symbolise seeing the far side of the moon.
Alexander the Great is said to have died on the new moon, June 11, 323 BC. However, Alexander the Great died in June 11, 312 BC.
However, Darius is dated 13 years more recent and Xerxes is dated 8 years more recent. Xerxes 20th year was 458 BC not 465 BC because 490 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Then the sun's shadow described here may equal the same year Alexander died, not 323 BC but the summer of 312 BC. A sun miracle may have been taken as an omen to kill Alexander the Great.
The Seder Olam states "The kings of Media/Persia ruled for 210 years total before the coming of Alexander the Great."
Cyrus must be dated 13 years more recent, then Alexander also 13 years more recent. Then Babylon fell not in 327 BC but in 314 BC. Then the death of Alexander was not 323 BC but 312 BC.
Alexander the Great began his reign, not in 336 BC, but 13 years more recent in 323 BC. 210 years previous in 533 BC = the reign of Cyrus.
Cyrus the King of Media, not from 549 BC, but 13 years more recent, from 536 BC. Cyrus reigned from 536 BC = 210 years to Alexander the Great in 526 BC.
"In his (King Yin's) second year, 312 BC, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit. Wei made Chang E its prime minister."
From the 10th month = December are six months to June 11 when Alexander died. Thus, perhaps there was a sun miracle in December 324 BC and half an orbit later in June 11, 323 BC. Because of this 10 year correction, Alexander may have died in 312 BC in June. Thus a like sun miracle in December of 313 BC that the Chinese took as an omen to kill their king in the tenth month.
The new moon December 14, 313 BC = the Chinese tenth month. Six months, half an orbit, later, the new moon, Saturday, June 9, 312 BC was the fourth month when Alexander the Great died.
The sun move to the other side of the earth December 14, 313 BC and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then, the sun move back June 9, 312 BC and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus a sun miracle six months later, 178 days later, in the fourth month, this June 9, 312 BC = the shadow of the sun lengthened ten cubits, and rose a cubit, as the sun was being moved to the other side of the earth.
Alexander began his campaign not long before 333 BC. Thus 333 BC should be 323 BC or 322 BC = 50 year jubilees to Jesus' speaking on Yom Kippur Saturday, September 10, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
"As long as he, Darius, was fleeing (Alexander) on level ground, the chariot conveyed him away in safety; but when he encountered ravines and other difficult terrain, he stripped off his shield and cloak, abandoned the chariot, left his bow behind as well, and fled on horseback. Night fell shortly thereafter and saved him from capture; for Alexander pursued him with all his strength while it was still light, but returned to camp when it grew too dark to see ahead."
The Campaigns of Alexander, The Landmark, Arrian, p.75
Thus, the sudden night in the fall of 333 BC may equal a sun miracle. 10 years more recent = 323 BC. Thus, the sun may have set suddenly travelling west, or travelling the speed of light, perhaps on Yom Kippur, on Israel.
Sun miracles were often taken as omens for change. Thus, there may have been sun miracles on these jubilee years pointing to Christ, such as 311 BC.
"When an almost total eclipse of the moon occurred, Alexander sacrificed to the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth, the deities said to be responsible for the phenomenon. Alexandros thought the eclipse was a favourable omen for the Macedonians and Alexander, and that the battle would take place that month. He said that sacrifices foreshadowed a victory for Alexander."
3.7.6a "The eclipse is dated to September 20, 331 BC."
The Campaigns of Alexander, The Landmark, Arrian, p.111.
Battle of Gaugamela Wikipedia.
"Alexander went into the battle highly confident, partly because he believed there had been a good omen: a near total lunar eclipse a few days before, on the night of 20-21 September. The battle of Gaugamela, in what is now Iraqi Kurdistan, ended in decisive victory for Alexander. Darius fled for his life, and Alexander soon took over the entire Achaemenid Empire."
newscientist.com. First Nations astronomers predicted eclipses without using writing, by Michael Marshall. 19 March 2024.
"The coincidence of a lunar eclipse gives the exact day—September 20, 331—upon which the Macedonian army crossed the Tigris."
Britannica
The mistaken September 20, 331 BC lunar eclipse:
The corrected date was 11 years more recent, on August 21, 320 BC. August 21 may equal September 20. That is, 30 days before September 20 is August 21 matching the same day of the month. Also, the eclipse was soon after the summer solstice. The total lunar eclipse was greatest there in Iraq:
The Old Testament was a shadow of the New Testament. The shadow gives the shape. However, the shape may be skewed even although the shadow is of something very real. All these sun miracles point to the coming of Christ. And the coming of Christ being like the bright noon day sun with no shadow. And the coming eternal day with Jesus.
Before 323 BC: according to Josephus, Alexander the great had a dream of the High Priest pleading for Jerusalem and he did not destroy the Temple. Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, or 312 BC, and was part of the book of Daniel.
James Legge stated "we have seen this before". That is the character for lengthened repeated means really lengthened or suddenly lengthened.
Ch'in defeated Ch'u at Tan Yang in 312 BC.

This battle of Ptolemy was very drawn out. The sun may have moved east and its shadow retreat for a long day. Battles in both Israel and China may have been fought on that day.
Tan Yang means spread out sun.
"In his 1st year, in the 10th month, King Seuen of Ch'ing came to acknowledge submission in our court of Leang..In his 2nd year, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit."
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.175.
King Hui of Ch'in died in 311 BC. Perhaps he was dethroned at the sign of this sun miracle when the sun returned one year later.
There was a 49th year jubile in 312 BC. From 1241 BC 19 X 49 years; 1241 BC - 931 years = 312 BC. Also, 19 X 49 years = year 931 at Adam's death in 4427 BC from 5358 BC. All in even 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice. Back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 32 + 18 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 = 312 BC.
311 BC the 49 year jubile Friday, March 15, the full moon and Passover. One year earlier, March 15, 312 BC was the new moon.
Likewise, Hezekiah's Sign of the shadow of the sun returning ten steps = about 10 hours to the beginning dawn position, was in 703 BC, a 49th year jubile from 1241 BC.
Thus, the shadow may have gone forward likewise as a sign on Ahaz's death about March 20, 717 BC.
Jeremiah 6:4 "Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out."
This may be like the hour of darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross. Then after the sun would appear in the 3PM position on the sun dial because the sun had moved ahead 45° as described above. Thus, "the shadows of the evening are stretched out."
Deuteronomy 16:6 "But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt."
Both sunset on the Passover, and darkness at noon on the Passover.
Dead Sea Scroll 1QIsaa 11-44 complete, 1QIsaa 38:1-22, 1QIsab 38:12-22. The same account is given in Isaiah 38 and in 2 Kings 20, and in 2 Chronicles 32.
Isaiah 38:1 "In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
38:3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
38:4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
38:5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
38:6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
38:7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
38:9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
38:10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
38:11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
38:12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
38:13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
38:14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
38:15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
38:16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
38:21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
38:22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"

Some say that it would be easy for God to move the sun and planets around the earth. However, it was not to be taken for granted, nor was necessarily easy:
2 Chronicles 32:25 "But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 32:31 "Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart."
"to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land" the sun rising in the west and setting in the east meant this sun miracle was seen throughout the known world. To travel from Babylon to Jerusalem may take about four or five months.
Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour."
Likewise "darkness over all the land" meant all the known world. The solar eclipse that was not an eclipse at the fall of Jerusalem at noon, the 7th day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC was recorded in China at sunset on day 40 of cycle 60 for which there is no eclipse.
Isaiah 39:1 "At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
39:2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
39:3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon."
"Ambassadors" = interpreter" of hidden, divine messages. "sent letters" = envoy of diviners of celestial phenomena. The diviners came to decode the hidden message. "The acceptance and deference shown to these idolatorous diviners was a grevous sin"
The Origins of Midrash, From Teaching to Text, The Scribe (Sofer) in the Second Temple Period, p.82
From this Passover in 703 BC are 49 year jubiles both from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, and to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. The sun should retreat from the west to the east when Jesus was in the tomb. The sun should suddenly rise in the east hours later on the resurrection Sunday.
The sun may have retreated to past the dawn position and stood there well below the horizon for 3 X 24 hours. Or this was a long night when Hezekiah wept and prayed. So when Isaiah asked Hezekiah should the shadow of the sun go forward 10 steps or backward 10 steps this may mean the whole sky each time.
The sun may have rose in the west for Hezekiah and set in the east at the end of the three days of darkness.
Then the sun may have rose suddenly and brilliantly in the east whereupon Hezekiah was healed. Then Hezekiah's sign may be like the resurrection morning.
Thus, the sun moved east 7 X 180° and rose in the east on the third day. Thus, Hezekiah's sign was similar to the three days darkness the disciples rested the sabbaton - a Friday night of seven nights and the sun descended from west to set in the east that Saturday.
Then the sun rose in the east suddenly and brilliantly that resurrection Sunday morning. The resurrection may be likened to the healing of the seven fold sun suddenly ascending from the east. Thus, the shadow would both go backwards then forward 10 steps = 180 degrees. Thus, Hezekiah may have been healed by a sevenfold sun at sunrise after three days of darkness, a sign of the resurrection.
The sun's shadow upon the sundial retreating to the beginning, to the sunrise position in the east, being likened to God making Hezekiah pure as a child to live the day of his life for God.
Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day"
Their beginning as the sunrise to the light of the noon day sun, the bright eternal long day of a saved eternity with Jesus.
II Chronicles 32:25 "But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem."
Hezekiah's Sign must have been in the spring of 703 BC, Saturday, March 30, 703 BC.
The Dead Sea Scrolls words in bold.
Isaiah 38:5 "Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
38:6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city for my sake and for my servant David's sake.
38:7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down on the steps of the upper dial of Ahaz, marking the setting sun, return backward ten steps." Then the sun returned ten steps on the dial, steps on which it had descended."
Isaiah 38:8 "Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down."
In Chinese the same words were used to describe the sun "walk descend" when the sun rose from the west to the meridian = noon position for Lu Yang = the noon sun in Israel descend to the eastern horizon in 465 BC like as for Hezekiah in 703 BC, probably on Purim of Esther, Adar 13, February of 465 BC:
You can see the words "house reverse sun walk three house house" the Chinese words for walk and descend are like the Hebrew words for walk descend.
In the third character you can see the sun and a crooked arrow and again a small sun, perhaps depicting Lu Yang motioning towards the setting sun, that then rose from the west three solar mansions, of a 12 month zodiac, to the meridian.
Isaiah 38:8. Note the words below the text are for words that were originally in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but were lost in later copies of Isaiah. Note the word "upper" sun dial, also there is no "bet" (from) before sun after Ahaz, instead is the word "by the".
The Masoretic text is identical, except for the words the upper Ahaz by the sun instead of "with the sun".
The Great Isaiah Scroll - Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
Here you can see from the Hebrew Interlinear Bible. Note the exclamation mark ! at the end of verse 8:
The Greek Septuagint, Isaiah 38:8
The Greek Septuagint, 2 Kings 20:10
Here you see John Wycliffe translated ten steps for ten lines and ten degrees.
Here you can see, in this 1815 Bible, the ten degrees is written ten hours:
"Then Isaiah the prophet invoked the Eternal; and he brought the shadow backward ten degrees (or hours) which had gone forward on the sundial of Ahaz, (which the Pagans remarked)."
Here you can see the sun rose in the west and set in the east for Hezekiah and again as described by Herodotus on Joshua's long day:
Commentary on Chap. XX
Ver. 1. When Senacherib went from besieging Jerusalem against Tirhakah of Ethiopia, Hezekiah was siezed with a deadly disease. One trouble is no sooner gone than another comes; one billow comes on the back of another, Psal. ii.11.
3. Jerusalem had an upper and lower city; and the citadel of Zion, the upper one, was called the city of David; almost the whole lower city northward was Benjamin's, with the Jebusite citadel.
7. A cataplasm of dried figs supprate ulcers.
9. Eliahou Chomer says, this dial consisted of a semicircle, and a globe in its cavity, on which globe the shadow of falling, answered to the number of lines made on the hour semicircle. God could so conduct the sun's beams, that being detained; the style of the dial might admit light from that part only from which the shadow would fall on the lines noted by the prophet; tho' the retrocession was instantaneous, yet the lengthening of the day struck the Chaldean and other astronomers (2 Chron. xxxii.31.); so that the Babylonian king, then in friendship with the Jews sent to the miraculous nation to enquire of it.
Herodotus, in Euterpe, records both the slaughter of Senacherib's host, and this solar prodigy, as Josephus observes; he says within 1034 years the sun rose twice in the west, that is, Joshua. x. and here, & etc.
The Persians in memory hereof, used to celebrate the progressive, retrogressive, and reprogressive sun.
The 1034 years, according to Horodotus, to the Sothis cycle end and the Exodus in March 30, 1281 BC is April 1, 2315 BC = Yao's long day and the fulfillment of Joseph's second dream in Genesis 37 = Joseph made governor over Egypt.
Likewise, back from 703 BC 1034 years is 1737 BC. In 1732 BC in emperor Kin's 8th year, the sun stood still for ten days, the emperor died. Emperor Kin's first year was in 1741 BC = 500 years to Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
That is the shadow retreated to the beginning, to the sunrise, in the east. This may even mean the sun set in the east on the Passover sabbath, Saturday March 30, 703 BC, by a few hours, then suddenly rose brilliantly in the east, Sunday, March 31, 703 BC, like the sun must have brilliantly rose in the east when Jesus was resurrected.
Dead Sea Scrolls text in italics: Isaiah 38:8 "See now, I will make the shadow on the steps by the upper dial of Ahaz, the setting sun, return backward degrees from degrees ten steps descend walk."
Both the Hebrew, and the Dead Sea Scroll Hebrew, and the Greek Septuagint use the words "return to the starting point" "degrees from degrees", meaning the sun setting in the west returned to the east sunrise position = the starting point.
Perhaps the dial was high up for the sun to retreat to the beginning of the dial on the eastern horizon from the western horizon. Or this word may be upon (the first three letters are the same for upper and upon in Hebrew) perhaps suggesting God had forgiven Hezekiah's sins, reversed the disease, made him whole again and reversed the past and gave him the heart of a child. Nevertheless, an upper sundial may mark 10 steps between the rising sun and the setting sun. 12 hours may mark 180°, 10 hours may mark the shadow of the sun. Where the temple of Jerusalem was is a little lower than the western hill and the eastern hill casting a shadow on the dial of Ahaz.
2 Kings 23:12 "And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made,"
"the upper chamber of Ahaz" may be where the sun dial of Ahaz was.
The Great Isaiah Scroll: Isaiah 38:8 "Behold I will cause the shadow to return of the degrees which have gone down in the sundial upper Achaz by the sun backward ten degrees and the sun returned ten degrees in the degrees by which it had gone down."
Isaiah 38:13 "I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me."
Perhaps that day the sun set in the east to start a new day, returning to the morning position. Then on the day after the next day, the third day, Hezekiah was healed and worshipped in the temple.
Isaiah 38:17 "Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."
Isaiah 38:22 "Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"
These steps may be like on the sun dial of Ahaz. If you can picture the sun descend to the Mount of Olives in the east in the background, to the horizon, the shadow may mark ten steps. Likewise the sun descending to the west may mark ten of these steps. The wall behind, to the west was not there. Therefore these temple steps may have served as a sundial. Even there may have been a gnomon in the midst, the dial of Ahaz, to cast a shadow on these steps. These are known as the steps of ascents in the Psalms of Degrees. These are the teaching steps, where Jesus taught in the temple:
The 15 songs of degrees Psalm 120-134 were thought to have been written for the 15 years the LORD had extended to Hezekiah and were sung climbing the 10 steps ascending to the temple. The 10 psalms by Hezekiah may symbolise the 10 steps the sun retreated. Thirteen of these psalms are together in an ancient grouping in two Dead Sea Scrolls, the last two were found elsewhere. Psalms 120 121 123 125 126 128 129 130 132 and 134 were thought to have been written by Hezekiah. Psalms 122 124 131 133 are David's and Psalm 127 Solomon's. Psalm 130 may bear similarities to Hezekiah's prayer and the sun returning to the morning position.
The Beautiful gate of the temple, where Peter spoke from on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, and where Peter healed the man lame from his birth, Acts 3:2.
The inside of the gate is described as very beautiful.
Acts 3:1 "Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
3:2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3:3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
3:4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
3:5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God."
Hezekiah may have laid in his bed at the foot of these steps. These steps may have been the ten steps in Ahaz's sun dial. After the sun set in the east, the sun may have risen brilliantly in the east and Hezekiah exposed to the sun light may have found healing and gone up these steps into the temple.
Nevertheless, the upper sun dial of Ahaz should be above the temple with almost 180° of the sky. Ten steps = ten hours.
Some have commented the book of Joshua was rewritten at the time of the siege of Sennacherib. The scene at the sun miracle of Hezekiah may be almost identical. The sun rising in the west a Friday night, perhaps standing still at noon for 24 hours, then setting in the east that Saturday. Then the sun rising suddenly and brilliantly Sunday morning whereupon Isaiah was healed on the third day.
Isaiah 7:10 "Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz:
7:11 "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven."
7:12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test."
7:13 And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also?
7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
There was a solar eclipse record for the second month, in spring, in 718 BC that does not match a solar eclipse and must have been a sun miracle, the sign of Ahaz when he died. The emperor of China died in the second month in 718 BC. Ahaz died in Adar the 12th month in Israel, either the first or second month in China. Then Ahaz probably died at the sun miracle or omen = the eclipse record that was not an eclipse, when emperor Hwan died in China, either in 718 BC or in 717 BC = 710 years before Jesus was born.
Thus, Jesus was born of a virgin 700 years later.
Hezekiah was 38 when the sun retreated ten steps on Ahaz's sundial. He was 25 when he began to reign to his 14th year when he was about to die. Thus, Hezekiah was 38 when Isaiah asked him if the shadow of the sun should move forward ten steps or backward ten steps on the upper sundial of Ahaz. This appears to be the age Jesus was when he was crucified in April 3, 33 AD. Jesus appears to have been born about Sunday, September 13, 7 BC.
Thus, 7 years less one year because there is no year zero, plus 32 years from September = 38 years and a half at April 3, 33 AD. Hezekiah would have been 34 years old in 707 BC. 700 years before Jesus' birth. This 34th year of Hezekiah would be like the 34th year of Jesus when he began to preach the Gospel in 29 AD.
Jotham reigned from his 25th year to his 41st year. Ahaz reigned from his 20th year to his 36th year. Isaac was the age of Christ, about 38, when Abraham went to offer him up because Sarah then died at age 127. Sarah was about 90, perhaps 89, when Isaac was born. Thus, from Sarah at Isaac's birth when she was 90 to her death this 37 years later when she was 127 years old.
The children of Israel were at Kadeshbarnea 38 years. The impotent man Jesus healed was 38 years in that case.
Thus, Isaac was a type of Christ. Abraham went to offer up Isaac when he was the same 38 years as Jesus was when Jesus gave his life on the cross.
Here is an example of the 38 years of Jesus:
John 5:5 "And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years."
John 5:8 "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath."
Genesis 25:17 "And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people."
Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
Joseph would be 38, eight years later when Jacob and his brethren came down into Egypt at the beginning of the second year of famine.
Exodus 6:16 "And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years."
Levi lived 137 years. 37 years beyond 100. Perhaps this 37 more years was meant to be a type of Christ. Jesus may have lived 38 years.
Levi would be 37 years old, about the age Jesus lived to, at the sun miracle of emperor Yao in 2315 BC. Then Levi would live to 137 years old, 100 more years, to 2216 BC - at the sun miracle when Shun became emperor after Yao.
Levi must have been born 10 years earlier in 2355 BC. Then Levi must have died 2217 BC, 17 years after Joseph died in 2235 BC.
Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
Numbers 4:47 "From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,"
Many people assume because Joseph was thirty when he was made governor over Egypt that Jesus was thirty years old when he began his ministry. However, Joseph was 38, at the second year of famine in 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth, when his father Jacob and his brothers came to dwell in Egypt. Likewise, David was thirty when he became King of Judah and was thirty seven when he became King of Israel.
John 18:37 "Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice."
Exodus 6:16 "And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years."
Exodus 6:20 "And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years."
137 years is like 100 years plus 37 years, like Jesus' life of 38 years.
Deuteronomy 1:3 "And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;"
Sunday November 26, 1242 BC was the new moon for the eleventh month. The moon's first visibility would be Tuesday, November 28, 1242 BC.
Deuteronomy 1:46 "So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there."
Deuteronomy 2:14 "And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them."
Thus, the 38 years of Jesus' life and crucifixion and resurrection was very like the conquest of Palestine. Even the five kings Joshua hung on trees was like Jesus' crucifixion and victory over the grave.
Deuteronomy 34:8 "And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended."
Moses must have died at the end of the eleventh month, Friday December 29, 1242 BC. Then there be 30 days of mourning the whole 12th month to Friday, January 26, 1241 BC.
Numbers 33:38 "And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month."
Friday, June 2, 1242 BC would be the first day of the fifth month.
Numbers 20:1 "Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there."
Sunday, February 5, 1242 BC would be the first day of the first month. One year later the crossing of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC.
The children of Israel may have stayed at a site now in Saudi Arabia, that is very Egyptian with pyramids etc. This site is very like Petra in Jordan. Someday this ancient city may be avialable to tourists.
"New Discovery. Saudi Arabia's ancient stone structures older than Egyptian pyramids."
Joshua 10:26 "And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
Mark 15:27 "And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left."
1 Kings 2:11 "And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem."
David lived to 70 years. Then he was 37 when he became king over all of Israel.
2 Kings 13:10 "In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years."
2 Kings 15:8 "In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months."
2 Kings 16:2 "Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father."
1 Chronicles 23:3 "Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand."
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa."
Solomon 40 years: 1044 BC - 1004 BC, Rehoboam, 1004 BC - 987 BC, Abijah 987 BC - 985 BC, Asa 985 BC - 945 BC. Asa's 15th year = 971 BC. 1000 years to Jesus' ministry October 7, 29 AD. Asa's 41st year and death, in 945 BC = 38 years in reverse from Jesus' death to his birth, 907 BC = Jehoash's first year and 900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
The Armenian sothis cycle began again in 987 BC.
2 Chronicles 16:1 "In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
16:3 There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
Thus, there may be sun miracles in 968 BC and 948 BC. This 948 BC was 39 years, = Jesus' life time, from Rehoboam back from 987 BC. This 36th year of Asa = 948 BC = the 49th year jubile from Joshua in 1241 BC. Thus, both Asa's 15th year = 968 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' crucifixion and his 36th year = the 49th year of jubile to Jesus' crucifixion in April 3, 33 AD.
"the 38th year of Asa" from 983 BC to 945 BC. The 38 years of Jesus' life. From 945 BC to 907 BC also 38 years, 900 years to Jesus' birth. A new emperor in China the same year, 906 BC, King Kung.
Shoshenq I wrongly dated from 925 BC. The Egyptian Pharaohs should be 76 years further back. Such as Pharaoh Merneptah should be his death in 1281 BC, not 1205 BC, the same 76 years. Lunar dates match every 19 years. 19 X 4 = 76 years. Likewise, lunar dates for Shoshenq I match 76 years further back. Solomon died in 1004 BC. Shoshenq I invaded Israel in Rehoboam's 5th year = 1000 BC. 925 BC back 76 years = 1000 BC. Likewise, Armenian sothis dates if moved back 76 years match many dates of 3907 BC, 3607 BC, 3307 BC, 4568 BC, 5367 BC that point to Jesus' birth in 7 BC and his crucifixion in 33 AD.
Shoshenq I's successful campaign in Canaan is dated to 925 BC. 76 years further back is 1001 BC = Rehoboam's fifth year from Solomon's death in 1004 BC.
1 Kings 14:25 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made."
2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
One day divided into 1/4 seconds in 24 hours equals 1000 years = 365,000 days. Or one 12 hour day compared to 1000 X 365 days = 365,000 X 1 / 5th of a second = 24 hours. Or 5 X 24 hours = 365,000 X 100. That is the total hours in 1000 years pass 100 times every second in a day of 24 hours. Dividing seconds into 100's is common practice in astronomy.
Adam live to 930 year, 70 years short of a thousand years. The sothis calendar backs up 365 days in 1460 years to the same date. That is 360 days with five days left over. In duodecimal 1440 years is 1000 years, is 360 days. 12 X 12 X 10 = 1440 years. The five left over days = 5 X 4 = 20 years, 1440 years + 20 years = 1460 years. Then the whole 1460 calendar has one more year included in this entire cycle and is 1461 years. Then again, one day is as 1000 years, 1000 duedecimal years.
2 Chronicles 16:12 "And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians."
Emperor Muh began his reign in the spring of 968 BC = 60 years of reign to 907 BC. 19 years earlier emperor Ch'aou was to have begun his reign in 987 BC = the same year Rehoboam died. In Ch'aou's 19th year = perhaps 968 BC, there was a sun miracle of darkness and he died. In Ch'aou's 14th year, perhaps 973 BC, there was a sun miracle of twilight = the regular stars did not appear. Asa had peace 10 years from 983 BC to 973 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in Ch'aou's first year 987 BC = Rehoboam's last year. The sun miracle in 987 BC taken as an omen to the Hebrews to change their King and to the Chinese to change their Emperor.
Ch'aou may have reigned his 19 years from 1105 BC to 1086 BC; perhaps there be a sun miracle in 1107 BC for a new emperor. Then there be a 120 year gap from 1086 BC to 966 BC to King Muh's first year in 966 BC.
2 Chronicles 21:20 "Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings."
2 Chronicles 27:1 "Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok."
Thus, there is plenty of support in Old Testament times for Jesus living 38 years.
See the Chinese on left (top to bottom, right to left): Huai-nan tzu who lived in 200 BC, writes about Han's rise to power. This event must have occurred sometime between 515 BC and 450 BC. Probably this was Yuang and either 474 BC when he became emperor, or 467 BC when he died. The Milky Way was not visible in China in 505 BC.
Perhaps the sun stood still at noon one day in 505 BC and in the long twilight the milky way was not visible in China.
Lu Yang may = Luh-ch'ing, was the grandson of Chu Ping Wang who died in 515 BC - the common date for the end of the captivity to Israel.
The end of the Captivity was both in 521 BC to the death of Cyrus, and in 507 BC the 2nd year of Darius.
Nevertheless, China must have seen the same thing as Lu Yang = about 470 BC. King Hezekiah see the sun set in the east in 703 BC = the sun retreated to the dawn for Hezekiah and to the meridian in China. The Duke of Lu Yang in about 465 BC quoted King Wu in 1174 BC when he conquered China.
The connection to the battle of Wu at comet Halley's return in 1174 BC.
And the sun miracle that day may also be for comet Halley in 465 BC and the sun miracle of Lu Yang, Luh Ching. This being the same Chow dynasty. King Wu began his campaign on January 27, 1174 BC and completed his conquest of China in the fourth month in May. The sun miracle when emperor Wu shook his spear at a comet and at the sun may have been a similar sun miracle when Lu Yang shook his spear at comet Halley in 466 BC and the setting sun reversed three stalls. Saul also was chosen king in May, perhaps 1124 BC.
The 12th year of King K'ang should be 1122 BC. Jesus stayed behind to inquire of the doctors of the law in Jerusalem when he was 12. From 1174 - 6 years (1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' crucifixion) - 35 years - 11 years to King K'ang's 12th year 1122 BC.
In 1124 BC, the 10th year of King K'ang = the first year of King Saul, the sixth month, day 7 of cycle 60 = new moon, may equal this wheat harvest, May 15, 1124 BC or July 14, 1124. However the new moon is on the third day from day 7 of cycle 60 = day 9 of cycle 60 = May 18, 1124 BC or July 16, 1124 BC. Thus, the significance of this day in May or July during wheat harvest may be a sun miracle on this day:
1 Samuel 11:9 "And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad."
1 Samuel 11:14 "Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly."
Samuel 12:16 "Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
12:17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
12:18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel."
This record for the 12th year of King K'ang should be in 1122 BC:
"In his 12th year, in the summer, in the sixth month, on the jin-shin (9th of cycle 60) day, the king went to Fung and gave his Charge to the duke of Peih. In the autumn duke E of Maou died."
The Chinese classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.148
King K'ang's 26th year may be in 1108 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. King Ching's first year should be 1168 BC. 1168 BC + 33 AD = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. There is no year zero. Jesus' birth in 7 BC day 17 of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC; King K'ang died in his 26th year, on the 56th day of cycle, the 17th day of the seventh month, October 7, 1108 BC = 1101 years before Jesus' birth.
King K'ang's 12th year may be in 1122 BC. The Peih was a round piece of jade with a hole in the middle that the emperor dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle.
The day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, September 4, 1122 BC is 1150 years exactly, even 50's, to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 and fulfilling the 50th year jubile, the year of release - to preach the acceptable year of the Lord to begin his ministry, the day of Atonement, August/September, 29 AD.
This may be day 9 of cycle 60, September 4, 1122 BC, the 9th to 10th day of the Hebrew lunar month seven, the day of Atonement which was a day of fasting, Yom Kippur. Thus, this record of Yom Kippur in the second year of Saul.
For China to record this day there must have been a sun miracle. Either a long day or a short day. A yoke of oxen will plough an acre in one day. So, perhaps the day was half as long thus "Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night". This 10th day of the lunar month, Yom Kippur, would mean the moon would rise in the east before sunset. Thus, Saul could have lots of moonlight for several more hours to battle the Philistines.
Then also, the day the previous emperor Ching died in 1133 BC, in the fourth month, on day 2 of cycle 60, would be the new moon, the third day of the week, April 28, 1133 BC. This would be nine years before king Saul, during the period of Judges.
1 Samuel 13:1 "Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,"
1 Samuel 14:14 "And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
14:15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling."
The earth often shook when God moved the sun around the earth. The Chinese would see the same sun that same day of the fasting of Saul September 4, 1122 BC.
1 Samuel 14:18 "And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
14:19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
14:20 And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
14:21 Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
14:22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
14:23 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.
14:24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food."
1 Samuel 14:31 "And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
14:32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
14:33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
14:34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
14:35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
14:37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day."
Isaiah 28:21 "For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act."
This prophesy of Isaiah about 700 BC, of a sun miracle in Gibeon and Ajalon, was from the sun miracle of David when he became king of Israel in 2 Samuel 5 in 1077 BC when David would be 38 years = the age of Jesus was accused of being the King of the Jews, when he went to the cross.
Then also, of Joshua's long day in Gibeon and Ajalon. Then also probably a sun miracle was noted in China, September 5, 1122 BC in this second year of king Saul.
Then also, there may be a sun miracle when David slew Goliath in the valley of Elah, near the Ajalon valley. Then also, there would be a sun miracle of Hanukkah in this same valley of Ajalon December 12, 164 BC.
1 Samuel 17:1 "Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
17:2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines."
The day of the fast was the day of Atonement, which in 1122 BC should be September 4, 1122 BC day 9 of cycle 60, the sixth Chinese month from spring = the seventh Hebrew month from spring. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle when Jonathan won the battle for Israel. Saul called for the ark which the High Priest could only come near on this day of Atonement.
1 Samuel 14:43 "Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
14:44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
14:45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not."
Leviticus 23:26 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of Atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
23:28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of Atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
23:29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
23:30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath."
1 Samuel 14:31 "And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint."
Thus, there may have been a sun miracle that day in Ajalon, the sun standing still at noon as it did for Joshua as Israel fought in the same place and again had victory.
Thus, Saul's first year should be in 1124 BC forty years to 1184 BC when David became king. Thus, after two years is this 1122 BC. Then a sun miracle on Yom Kippur and Israel got the victory. King Ching died on day 2 of cycle 60, which may be the new moon on April 28, 1133 BC. Thus, the 12th year of king K'ang is this 1122 BC.
Then the battle of David with the Philistines when he became King of all Israel in 2 Samuel 5 in Gibeon, the same place as Joshua's long day, could be almost identical in the hail and a long day of Joshua to get the victory. See Isaiah 28:21.
Then there must have been a sun miracle in King Muh's first year in 1068 BC, the sudden darkness when King Ch'aou died, and a sun miracle 100 years previous from Wu's last year in 1168 BC. Thus, the Chinese must have changed emperors when there was an omen of a sun miracle. 1168 BC is 1200 years before Jesus was crucified, 1068 BC is 1100 years before Jesus was crucified in 33 AD. In 769 BC King P'ing became emperor and moved the palace.
P'ing may have been made emperor because of a sun miracle that the Chinese took as an omen from heaven to depose their king Yew and to move the capitl. This 769 BC is 800 years before Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD. Thus, a sun miracle that year would have pointed to Jesus' crucifixion.
"In the 11th year, (the year king Yew died 769 BC), in spring, in the first month, the sun and moon had haloes... The people of Shin, of Tsang, and the hordes of the K'euen, entered Tsung-chow, and murdered the king and duke Hwan of Ch'ing. The chief of the K'euen killed the king's son, Pih-fuh, and took Paou-sze as his captive." Note: There were two kings at the same time.
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books. p.158
The Chinese often murdered their emperors when there was a sun miracle. Every 100 years from 968 BC to 368 BC, and 1168 BC, there was a change in emperor, all pointing to Jesus' sacrifice in even hundreds to April 3, 33 AD.
This year 769 BC to 768 BC, perhaps a year of a reverse orbit, was 800 years before Jesus' crucifixion in spring, 33 AD. Thus, the sun and moon were a sign of Jesus' sacrifice for the sins of the whole world yet to come. Some records of sun miracles describe different colours and haloes to the sun and moon as they stood still in the sky.
Uzziah reigned as king of Judah 52 years from 802 BC to 751 BC. The earth quake in Zechariah 14 may be connected with the sun miracle in Zechariah 14 when Uzziah was king. Moving the sun around the earth could cause an earth quake.
There is no year zero. Working back from King Kung's first year in 907 BC, 59 years of King Muh is 969 BC. Working forward from Wu's last year to King Muh's first year 100 years, is 1068 BC. Both years end in X68 BC. X68 BC + 33 AD, (+ 32 years - there is no year zero) when Jesus was crucified equal even 100's
The notes state: "When king Wu made and end of Yin, the year was in kang-yin. Twenty-four years after, in the year kea-yin, the vases were finally placed in the city of Lo. From that time to King Yew, were 257 years; - giving us in all 281 years. From sin-maou, the 1st year of Wu, to kang-woo, the last year of Yew, were 292 years."
"two kings at the same time" Probably not. Year kang-yin = 27 = 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. From 1168 BC to 768 BC = 400 years. 24 years after 1168 BC = 1144 BC. 1144 BC - 120 - 257 = 768 BC. This 120 years fills the gap exactly to the sexigismal 60 base years from 2636 BC. Dual kings, probably not. Two dual kings that served 60 years, adds to 120 years, would fill this gap. Sun miracles on 1168 BC and 768 BC point to Jesus' sacrifice in even 100's in 33 AD.
Note: "The movements of king E were without proper regulation; the orders of his government were ill-timed; the holder of the TIME-JAR did not attend to his duty; - and the consequence was that the princes began to lose their virtue"
King E died in 869 BC.
Amaziah was king of Judah in 869 BC. Azariah 802 BC 38 years 840 BC. Amaziah 29 years = 869 BC.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle in 869 BC = 900 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
281 years from Ching's 18th year 1150 BC is this 869 BC.
From Wu's first year in 1174 BC to year kea-yin 51 of cycle 60 = 907 BC = 267 years. Thus, from the victory of King Wu in sin-maou 1168 BC to King Kung in kea-yin 907 BC, rather than to King Yew in 780 BC, are there 261 years. This is about 257 years.
King Ching became king in the first month of spring in 1169 BC about the time of the Passover. King Muh became king also in the first month of spring perhaps in 1069 BC, also the time of the Passover. Many Chinese emperors became King in the first month of spring. Perhaps there were sun miracles at the time of the Passover to point people to the coming sacrifice of Jesus at the Passover, April 3, 33 AD.
There are several Chinese emperors who began their reign in a year ending in X68 BC. Perhaps a new emperor was appointed when there was a sun miracle to point people to Jesus' sacrifice in spring, April 3, 33 AD. In 570 BC King Ling became emperor. In 467 BC King Ching-Ting became emperor. In 367 BC King Heen became emperor. In 168 BC the temple at Jerusalem was made an abomination by the Greeks and there were sun miracles recorded in China. All these dates are 500, 400, 300 and 200 years before Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Also in 68 BC Hycrannus II became king of Jerusalem.
In 906 BC King E became emperor of China, 900 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus, a sun miracle in 907 BC would be taken as an omen by the Chinese to change emperors. Many early Chinese dates of sun miracles point to the coming of Christ.
The beginnings of the reigns of these Chinese emperors are even 100's to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, or even 100's, X68 BC, to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD (no year zero)
Thus, sun miracles to mark Jesus' coming to earth may have been taken as a omen for the Chinese to change emperors.
Huangdi's 50th year sun miracle 2607 BC 17th day of 7th month, October 18, 2607 BC, Yu became emperor of China in spring 2169 BC, Chung-K'ang's 5th year sun miracle 2127 BC = 220 years to Manu 1907 BC = 200 years to Kwei's first year 1707 BC, Kung 907 BC, Heaou 868 BC, P'ing 768 BC, Ting 605 BC, Ching-Ting 468 BC, Heen 368 BC, Liu Bang 207 BC.
Note to Yu: "His mother was called Sew-ke. She saw a falling star, which went through the constellation Maou (Taurus), and in her ream her thoughts were moved till she became pregnant, after which she swallowed a spirit's pearl. Her back opened in due time, and she gave birth to Yu in Shih-new. He had a tiger nose and a large mouth. His ears had three orifices. His head bor the resemblance of the stars Kow (Sagittarius) and K'een. On his breast seemed a figure in gem of the Great Bear, and in the lines of his feet he seemed to tread on the character Z; hence he was called Wanming..
...When the fortunes of Hea were about to rise, all vegetation was luxuriant, green dragons lay in the borders, and the spirit of Chuh-yung descended in mount Ts'ung; - Shun resigned and Yu ascended the throne. The Lo produced the the tortoise Book called 'The great Plan.' When three years of mourning were over, he made his capitol in Yang-shing."
"In his 1st year, which was jin-tsze (49 of cycle 60 = 2169 BC), when he came to the throne, he dwelt in K'e. He published the seasons of Hea throughout the regions and States."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, The Dynasty of Hea, p.117
"He published the seasons of Hea" points to Yaou who also published the seasons in his first year = 2315 BC = a sun miracle April 1, 2315 BC = 10 days before the spring equinox April 10, 2315 BC. The half before the equinox means the 10 days are to be 2 X 10 days / 365 X 26000 years = 1400 years more recent in precession 2300 BC to 900 AD.
The sun moving 180° April 1, 2315 BC = 1400 years of forward precession. In 26,000 years earth pivots 360° in precession. Thus, the four stars He and Ho determined marked the four seasons in the reverse orbit. Like wise the sun moved 180° upon the omen Yu was made emperor like Yaou was, and Yu determined the seasons = necessary to know for planting. Thus, there must be a sun miracle in 2169 BC / 2168 BC pointing to Jesus' sacrifice 2200 years later April 3, 33 AD.
This may be the time the sun reversed when King Wu shook his spear at the setting sun:
"In his 12th year, (first year of Emperor Wu) the king led the tribes of the west and the princes to attack Yin, and defeated Show in the wilderness of Muh. He took with his own hand Show prisoner in the tower of Nan-tan, and entered into the participation of the bright appointment of Heaven,"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p44.
Jesus stayed behind to inquire of the doctors of the law in Jerusalem when he was 12.
1174 BC "When King Wu conquered King Zou of Shang, a broom star appeared and tendered its handle to Yin."
Huainanzi ch. 15
An example of wielding a spear:
632 BC "When Duke Wen of Jin was about to battle King Cheng of Chu at Chengpu, a broom star emerged in the astronomical state of Chu. Chu wielded its handle, on account of which Jiu Fan was asked about it. He responded: 'In doing battle in conjunction with a broom star, the one who moves contrary to it gains the victory'"
Lun heng ch. 5
2 Kings 22:1 "Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign,"
22:3 "And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying, "
23:22 "Surely there was not holden such a Passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23:23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this Passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem."
Josiah's 18th year may be his tenth year of reign = 632 BC. Manasseh died in 645, three more years of Aman, then from 642 BC are ten years to 632 BC. There may be a connection between the comet and a sun miracle in 632 BC.
The orbit of Halley's Comet is about 77 years.
From the appearing of Halley's comet February 9, 1986 AD, back by 77 years to 15 BC, but should be 12 BC. Thus, the orbit of 77 years is very accurate.
Halley's Comet is the broom star. Then back from this 632 BC in 77 year orbits is 1174 BC. 1174 BC - 632 BC = 542 years. 7 X 77 years = 539 years.
Thus, perhaps the sun rose in the west and set in the east, then Wu shook his spear at the sun, then the sun brilliantly rose in the east. This may be the same fourth month that Wu returned and sacrificed in the temple. From the sun miracle in 1194 BC 9 years to king Wan's death. Then 11 years to Wu's 12th year, 1174 BC when Wu became emperor.
The fifth day of the lunar month is Pentecost. The fiftieth day from day 15 is Hebrew lunar day 5, 50 - pentecost. Thus, possibly this might be the day of Pentecost in 1174 BC. In the Chinese Classics it says that Wu received the bright appointment of heaven in the fourth month. This may be day 1 of cycle 60 March 11, 1170 BC. Then were assembled the vassals on day 37 of 60 which this new moon April 17, 1170 BC. The character sun/moon together signifies the new moon.
In China while Wu was waging war the sun reversed also and Wu uttered these words which became famous in China. There is a possibility the sun miracle of 1174 BC may be the context of king Wu when he "grasps a golden yue". In 1174 BC king Wu declined to fight at the sight of the sun miracle.
The character for "Lu" is a bird grasping the sun.
Then again when this duke of Lu Yang = Luh-ch'ing, waged war the sun may have reversed also prompting him to repeat the words of his ancestor king Wu. Esther was made queen and wife to Xerxes in the tenth month of Tabet 472 BC.
"In his 10th year, luh-ch'ing, the viscount of Yu-yuen died,"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.167.
In Egypt the goddess Nekhbet, who often appeared in vulture form and hovered above kings, holding the shen (the sun disc) to represent eternity.
This 10th year from 467 BC was 458 BC. Luh-ch'ing may be Lu Yang. Lu Yang moved his spear in battle, where he may have died, and the sun rose in the west and passed through three solar mansions. The 70 weeks of years of Daniel was from the building of Jerusalem in 458 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. The sun returning one year after 458 BC is 457 BC = 450 years = 9 X 50 years, before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Thus, the sun miracle of Lu Yang, if at Luh-ch'ing's death in 458 BC, may have been a sun miracle marking the beginning of the 490 years to Jesus' crucifixion.
Luh-ch'ing became duke in the 11th month 4th year from 467 BC = February 463 BC, the sun miracle that day in winter may see the sun at the noon position retreat to the dawn position in Israel = the sun setting in the west in China would then rise in the west to the noon position in China. Lu Yang = Luh-ch'ing, the same Chinese character for his name, in 464 BC = the same 12th year of Xerxes that the Jews had victory on Adar 13 in the book of Esther = the sun return one year later, February 463 BC Luh-ch'ing.
Jesus stayed behind to inquire of the doctors of the law in Jerusalem when he was 12.
Esther 1:4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days."
There may have been a sun miracle in Xerxes' third year. Thus, the 180 days from the fall equinox to the spring equinox. Thus, the Chinese would observe the sun miracle by removing their emperor. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle in 475 BC, in Xerxes' third year from 477 BC.
Yuang became emperor in 474 BC and died in 467 BC. Then Luh-ch'ing becane duke in King Ching-Ting's 4th year, the autumn or winter, 11th month, of 464 BC.
There was another time when the king wielded a spear, this time against a comet:
"When Duke Wen of Jin was about to battle King Cheng of Chu at Chengpu, a broom star emerged in the astrological space of the state of Chu. Chu wielded its handle, on account of which Jiu Fan was asked about it. He responded: 'In doing battle in conjunction with a broom star, the one who moves contrary to it gains the victory.'"
East Asian Archaeology, p.111. - 632 BC.
This was during the time Josiah 645 BC - 614 BC, was king of Judah, his 8th year = 637 BC, his 12th year 633 BC, who purged Judah from idols.
Jeremiah 25:3 "From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened."
From 614 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC are 607 years. From 1290 AD, 607 years to 1897 BC when the Gospel began to prosper again.
2 Chronicles 34:3 "For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images."
The broom star may rather be the dragon, the glory of God.
Jesus stayed behind to inquire of the doctors of the law in Jerusalem when he was 12.
Luke 2:42 "And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast."
Then on Sunday, June 11, 139 BC this was written for the emperor of China now the emperor of the Han dynasty:
"Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan period, summer, 4th month, day wushen 45. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.189.
"King Wu's left hand grasps a golden yue (ancient Chinese weapon with a hook), his right holds a white banner, humbly glaring and says: "No one in the world would dare to harm me!" Thereupon a breeze aids the wave to the movement. Lu Yang duke and Han relations difficult war fierce sun sunset apply spear and swang sun for Lu Yang reverse three stall. They [King Wu and the Duke of Lu-yang] had kept their nature intact, preserved their genuineness and avoided injury to their person. When they met with crisis and were pressed with difficulties, their essence merged with Heaven as if they had not yet begun to emerge from their origin. How could they not succeed then, in all their undertakings!"
"Long ago, the Yellow Emperor, (Huangdi 2657 BC), governed all under Heaven with tender strength. Mount Taishan bowed out to the side so the sun and moon Emperor was able to govern and make the laws for people's livelihood. The Emperor regulated the Qi of Yin and Yang, apportioned the length of the seasons and rectified the numbers of the calendar, separated men and women and distinguished male and female animals, made clear the distinction between those above and those below and classified the ranks of noble and common. He kept the strong from crushing the weak and the many from oppressing the few. The people fulfilled their life-span and did not meet with untimely death. Harvests ripened at the propitious time and were not damaged by any calamity. The Hundred Officers were upright and devoid of self interest."
Those above and those below were harmonious and not fault-finding. Laws and orders were clear and their was no confusion. Ministers were public-minded and not partial. Land tillers did not transgress balks and fishermen did not wrangle over deep-water channels. People did not appropriate what had been left along the road and the prices were not fixed in advance in the market-place. The gates of the inner and outer city walls were left unlocked and manors were free from thieves and robbers. Rustic folks mutually yielded goods to each other and dogs and pigs spat out grain and millet on the roadside. All were devoid of aggressive hearts.
Thereupon, sun and moon shone with pure brilliancy and stars and constellations did not leave their courses. Wind and rain came a seasonable times and the five grains grew to maturity. Tigers and leopards did not bite recklessly and birds of prey did not strike at random. Male and female Phoenixes swirled over the court-yard and the Unicorn wandered in the countryside. The Green Dragon took flight to where the yellow bend becomes Northern black. Everyone in the country shared each others duties."
Translation by Tom Jackson of West Kelowna.
If the sun rising in the west for Lu Yang was Purim of Esther, the 13th, 14th, and 15th lunar day of the 12th month of Adar, the moon would be full in its "brilliancy".

"During the time of King of Zhou Wu (the first emperor of Zhou) fight with King of Shang Zou(the last emperor of Shang), when King of Zhou Wu's army cross yellow river, Bo Shen Yang(a very bad god who help King of Shang Zou) use the magic to lift huge wave, then no one can see anything. King of Zhou Wu holds his weapon on his left hand and right hand hold ensign.
Shouting to Bo Shen Yang, King of Zhou Wu is here, who can violate my opinion! After he finished his word, the wave becomes so quiet. At the time when country Lu fight with country Han, the fight are difficult to say who is going to win.
The sun is falling; King of Lu Yang points the sun with his weapon and yells. The sun is so scared to King of Lu Yang, and did not fall until fight finish. From this we can see, when good people face to problem, his or her can get help from god."
"Similarly, when the phoenix fly on the enlightened country, thunder restraining does not manifest suddenly, the violent storm does not emerge, river and sea does not raise the wave, the trees flowers and plants stands upright calmly and steadily.
The swallow and house sparrow therefore lightly insults the phoenix, thought that the phoenix is unable with to strive for hegemony in the eaves beam column.
Afterward when the phoenix circled rises to fly ten thousand ancient measures of length upper airs, to hover outside the great-hearted, puts on flies Kunlun Mountain's sparse garden (Kunlun Mountain is the most important mountain in China).
Then swallow and house sparrow are so scared of phoenix. By now they know who the queen in the earth is."
"It is like Yi (The man who take down nine suns) ask Xi Wang Mu (God's wife) for live forever drug, but eaten by Chang E (Yi's wife) then send to moon."
"However, the sky and land were not patched up perfectly. The sky tilted towards the northwest; therefore the sun, the moon and the stars moved in that direction."
"The sky tilted" = the sun moved to the other side of the earth. The sun must also move up or down to keep the earth in the same season.
Thus, the path of the zodiac, the path of the sun through the constellations, would be "tilted".
Huai Nan Zi translation:
"During the time of King of Zhou Wu (the first emperor of Zhou) fight with King of Shang Zou(the last emperor of Shang), when King of Zhou Wu's army cross yellow river, Bo Shen Yang(a very bad god who help King of Shang Zou) use the magic to lift huge wave, then no one can see anything.
King of Zhou Wu holds his weapon on his left hand and right hand hold ensign. Shouting to Bo Shen Yang, King of Zhou Wu is here, who can violate my opinion! After he finished his word, the wave becomes so quiet.
At the time when country Lu fight with country Han, the fight are difficult to say who is going to win.
The sun is falling; King of Lu Yang points the sun with his weapon and yells. The sun is so scared to King of Lu Yang, and did not fall until fight finish.
From this we can see, when good people face to problem, his or her can get help from god. Then they can success in everything. Brave people can lead huge army; most of them are seek to power and reputation.
So even the people of only seeking power and reputation can be success, the people who have higher thinking level, can make enemy become to friend and willing to help others."
On the right column, the top red character beside Lu Yang, depicts a bird above the sun like a phoenix. This one character on top is almost identical to the one character for Luan.
Here again you can see the same text:
"When King Wu on his expedition against Chou, ferried across the Meng ford, the waves of Marquis Yang reversed their course and rushed against him. In the midst of a raging storm and deep obscurity, men and horses could not see each other. Thereupon, King Wu grasped the yellow battle-axe in his left hand, and a white standard in his right, and with flashing eyes waved them saying, 'I am here. Who under Heaven will dare thwart my purpose? Then the wind abated and the waves calmed down.
The Duke of Lu-yang was locked in battle with Han. As the fighting became the fiercest, the sun began to set. He (the Duke) raised his spear and waved at the sun, and the sun reverted three mansions on his behalf."
Note: Lu-yang was the grandson of King P'ing of Ch'u (reigned from 528 BC - 515 BC). Lu-yang was a perfecture of the state of Ch'u..high officials received the title of duke.
Huai Nan Tzu. p.105
"The King led the tribes of the west and the princes to attack Yin, and defeated Show in the wilderness of Muh. He took with his own hand Show prisoner in the tower of Nan-tan and entered into the participitation of the bright appointment of Heaven,"
The Chinese Classics, p.144.
The bright appointment of Heaven must be a sun miracle. "deep obscurity" may refer to the sunset and perhaps the sun rose from the west and thus the bright appointment of Heaven. Perhaps the sun rose in the west for King Wu as it did for Duke Lu Yang.
Both times "the King grasped the yellow battle-axe".
Actually these sun miracles in 1174 BC and 464 BC be caused by events in Israel, such as Purim of Esther on Adar 13, Friday, January 27, 464 BC.
Lu Yang may be Luh-ch'ing in the Chinese Classics:
Here you see a phoenix called Luan, perhaps the same as Lu Yang, that is the same as the charater for Lu:
"In his 4th year, in the 11th month, Kow-ts'een, (Sagittarius), the viscount of Yu-yueh, known as Tan-chih, died, and was succeeded by his son, Luh-ch'ing."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.167.
Here you see the characters for Scorpio Sagittarius - the same as for Kow - compare - the eleventh month:
Here you see the entire page including the English.
When the first month was February, the eleventh month was December. Or the first month was March the eleventh month was January/February. Then the sun was exactly in Scorpio Sagittarius, the constellation the sun was in December 11, 466 BC. Simply this is the zodiak constellation for the eleventh month in a normal year.
From the second column from the left and from the top, the third character for the sun has a drawing of a spear next to the sun.
Again, to the upper left, second column from the left, you can see the same text in small letters: The sun descend walk three mansions (464 BC) = Hezekiah's sign (703 BC) the sun "ten steps descend walk" in Hebrew.
Simply Sunday, February 26, 464 BC would be the 13th day of the 12th month, the month of Adar = the 11th month in China = Purim in Esther.
"Lu Yang duke and Han relations difficult war fierce sun sunset apply spear and swang sun for Lu Yang reverse three stall"
The Chinese hour was two of our hours. Then to reverse three stall may mean to reverse six hours, or from sunset to midday. For God to move the sun from the noon position to the eastern horizon in six hours = God moving the sun 180° in six hours. God moving the sun as earth rotates 6 + 6 = 12 hours.
Read the Chinese explanation word for word here: "Lu Yang was the head of a county of Chu. He was the grandson of Chu Ping Wang and son of Si Ma Zi Qi. He was the person whom Guo Yu (title of a historical text) called Lu Yang Wen Zi. Chu overstepped titles and (its ruler) called themselves king and the heads of counties called themselves as Duke. Therefore, the text called Lu Yang as Duke. Nowadays Nan Yang is the place Lu Yang. Han means (he) fought face to face and felt happy. Hui Ri means (he) ordered (the sun) to return and (the sun) retreat three She. She means successive mansions."
Charles Le Blanc translated Ci Xiu (?) as "successive solar (or celestial) mansions".
Here you can see three shi means six hours, one shi is two hours, = the sun retreat six hours from sunset in China to the noon, mid day, position = from noon in Israel to the eastern horizon.
Here you can see three shi means six hours:
| shi | local time | shi | local time |
| zi | 23-01h | wu | 11-03h |
| chou | 01-03h | wei | 13-15h |
| yin | 03-05h | shen | 15-17h |
| mao | 05-07 | you | 17-19h |
| chen | 07-09h | xu | 19-21h |
| si | 09-11h | hai | 21-23h |
Lu Yang did not command the sun, he observed the sun while God moved it, probably having something to do with Israel. Nan Yang means south sun, Lu Yang means dull sun, perhaps Lu Yang then became the new name. The character is related to the unicorn. Thus, perhaps one of the four beasts before God's throne was seen with the sun with its horn.
Joshua asked God to "Damam" the sun, both to stop in the sky and to dim.
Lu Yang was compared to Emperor Wu. Thus, there may have been a similar sun miracle for Wu as for Lu Yang, the setting sun rising in the east to give more daylight to get the victory. In 1174 BC Wu was in battle with the Shang at Muh, Wu motioned to the comet with his spear, perhaps the sun rose in the west like it did for Lu Yang.
The first year of Ching-Ying was in 467 BC or 468 BC - the last year of Yuang. The fourth year of Ching Ying, eleventh month was the first year of Lu Yang = Luh-ch'ing when he became duke. The first year of Xerxes may be 477 BC. And thus Esther's deliverance for the Jews on the thirteenth day of Adar, the 12th month, in the 12th year of Xerxes may be 465 BC. Then in 465/466 BC Luh-ch'ing succeeded Tan'chih in the 11th month, the sun in Sagittarius = Kow T'een in December, fourth year from 467 BC. For the sun to be in Kow T'een, the sun must have moved back 180° or multiples thereof, at the sun miracle that day. Luh-ch'ing must be Lu Yang.
Thus, a sun miracle that Adar/January in Purim would give the Jews light and joy and victory the same day Lu Yang was in battle and had victory in China.
Then in the tenth year of Ching-Ying, Lu Yang = Luh-ch'ing died, in 458 BC. If there was a sun miracle in 458 BC, the Chinese may have taken it as an omen to assassinate Lu Yang who became duke also on a sun miracle when the sun reversed three solar mansions and his father Tan-chih died and Lu Yang became duke in the same battle January 465 BC. That is, the setting sun, reversed and rose in the west. Then at the finishing of the wall of Jerusalem in Xerxes' 20th year, or 21st year, in 458 BC, there may have been a sun miracle. Then seventy weeks of year, 490 years, to Jesus' atonement at the crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD on the 49th of cycle jubile.
When the first month was February, the eleventh month was December. Then the sun was exactly in Scorpius Sagittarius, the constellation the sun was in December 11, 466 BC. (Hanukkah = December 12, 164 BC)
The father of Luh-ching was Duke Ching of Sung. He witnessed Mars in the heart constellation of Scorpius, where it would not normally be then in 480 BC in October. Mars should be in Leo in September of 480 BC - that is almost 180° from the heart constellation in Scorpius.
Here you can see Mars would be in Leo in September of 480 BC. For Mars to appear in Scorpius, the heart constellation, in September of 480 BC, Mars must move almost 180°.
Mars would normally be in Leo on the full moon, September 18, 480 BC, almost 180° from Scorpius, the heart constellation.
The solution is to move the sun to the other side of the earth. Then Mars must be moved out of the way of the sun. Then for Mars to appear in the right time of the night sky on the full moon September 18, 480 BC, Mars may appear in Scorpius the heart constellation. See Mars.
The battle of Marathon at the same time, the 17th day of the seventh month, September 21, 480 BC = the full moon September 18, 480 BC. Probably there was a sun miracle on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 21, 480 BC = the same night of the observation of the father of Luh-ching, Duke Ching of Sung.
There may be a parallel with the three days of darkness, the ninth plague of Exodus. If the sun rose in the west on China it would set in the east in Israel. The sun retreated three solar mansions. Thus, the sun may have revolved around the earth 3 X 360°. Thus, there could be 3 X 24 hours, 3 days, of darkness in Egypt/Israel. There is an oracle bone inscription connecting a comet with darkness. Comet Halley likely appeared about 1281 BC on day 35, March 29, 1281 BC. The Exodus should be Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Divined on day wuxu[35]: the shape of hui has changed; perhaps the darkness will go away. It was a clear day.
Heji, 32915
Likewise, comet Halley should appear 465 BC, every 75 years back from 87 BC. Thus, the connection to how the emperor's spear was moved with the appearing of a comet.
Both during the three days of darkness in Egypt and on this Adar 13 in Esther there was light, (and gladness). There is also a connection to Hanukkah, a long night of 7 X 12 = the sun moved three and a half times around the earth for 7 days + 12 hours = 8 days of darkness that the oil must last to give light in the Temple.
"The sun reversed three Che may refer to the sun rising in the west at sunset to the meridian. Thus, the sun moved back three out of 12 zodiacal places.
However, if the sun rose in the west at the same speed as the sun appears to travel east west each day, the sun should have moved 2 X 90°, = 180°
Thus, the sun now on the other side of earth and earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
For earth to flow out of or into a reverse orbit, and move the sun move ten hours back on Ahaz's sun dial, the sun must move not 180° but 3 X 180°.
The top character for Lu Yang looks like a bird above the sun = a phoenix. Thus Lu the bird and Yang the sun.
Here you see the character for the phoenix bird Luan:
Here you see the character for Lu Yang:
Here you can see the character for sun with a line underneath = Yang the sun.
Here you can see the definition of a day dawning.
Esther 8:9 "Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof;"
Thursday, May 28, 466 BC Julian was this 23rd day of the third month of Sivan. Pentecost was Sunday, May 24, 33 AD. 465 BC / 128 = 4 days. Thus, May 28, 466 BC Julian = May 24, 33 AD Gregorian.
The 8th course of Abia, of Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, when Zechariah saw the angel in the temple, would be in the month of Sivan.
Esther 8:14 "So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace."
Esther 8:16 "The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
8:17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them."
Esther 8:16
Psalm 97:11 "Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart."
If this was Xerxes 12th year, this sun miracle would be in 465 BC which was a year 7 of the 49 year jubilee. Thus, Mordecai sought rest and release for the Jews in this Sabbath year 465 BC and again in the jubilee year in 458 BC.
This was about 465 BC in summer after the feast of Pentecost.
When in this province of Han, in Changsha, there was a carving of this very event outside a restaurant just outside of the Dolton Hotel with what may have been Lu Yang holding up his spear. Not far from Changsha is a place Lu Yang. I saw the sign from the highway. I asked Xueshun Liu about it and this is what he had to say: "As for the event where the sun reversed three stall for Lu Yang, there is no specific date in early Chinese texts; at least, I cannot find any. According to notes of that event, which you put a link to it, Lu Yang was not Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty.
If the note is right, Lu Yang was a grandson of King Ping of Chu who ruled Chu from 528 BC to 515 BC. Thus, Lu Yang might live between 525 BC (?) and 450 BC (?). The date of that event, if it is true, should be around that period."
Cyrus began to reign in Babylon in this 528 BC until his death in this 518 BC. Thus omens from sun miracles in 528 BC and 518 BC may have resulted in a change of Kings both in China and in Persia.
"13th year of Duke Ai of Lu, in winter, the 11th month. There was a fuzzy star in the east."
BC 482 September 26-October 24 [China]
East Asian Archeoastronomy, Comet Halley.
This is also the time the emperor was distressed that Mars appeared in the heart constellation about 480 BC also. Duke Ai of Lu may also be Lu Yang. The connection to shaking his spear at a comet at sunset in battle and the sun rising in the west is in his possible lifetime.
Luh-Ching succeeded his father in 465 BC, Xerxes's twelfth year. Even Xerxes' 12th month may be Luh-Ching's eleventh month. And he may have succeeded his father at this battle when the sun after setting, rose in the west as it must have in 464 BC / 463 BC for Lu Yang = Luang. Perhaps the same pattern of sun miracle was repeated often. Then if this was the day of Purim for Esther, the Jews would have 12 or 36 or 60 more hours of day light. This was in the twelfth month of Adar in Persian = eleventh month in China = January/February.
If the sun just rose above the horizon and set again, the sun must be travelling very fast east. Even if the sun was standing still at the horizon it must rise some 30° as it travelled in a straight ling along the ecliptic over a tilted earth and the twilight be about 12 hours. Thus, Luh-ching should have at least three more hours of day light in 464 BC when he became duke or in 458 BC when he died. Luh-ching may be Lu Yang. If the sun rose 30° - the greatest of the 28 lunar mansions, Lu Yang would have more than an hour more day light. Because the sun must have moved at least 180° east Lu Yang probably had 12 more hours of day light.
If the sun reversed three stall is to be meant 3 X 180° this battle could have lasted 36 more hours in day light.
Today over 90% of the Chinese population consider themselves Han from their victory in 202 BC.
Ahab died in his 22nd year.
2 Chronicles 18:34 "And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died."
922 BC is even 50's to Jesus' fulfillment of the jubile Friday September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD. Thus, this going down of the sun may be a sun miracle pointing to Jesus.
Asa 41 years from 983 BC to 942 BC, Ahab 22 years from 948 BC to 925 BC. Jehoshaphat, at 35 years of age = Jesus began his three and a half year ministry at 35 years of age, reigned from the fourth year of Ahab, from 945 BC, 25 years to 921 BC. The jubile day, Yom Kippur, September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, 50th year, was from 22 BC. Thus, 922 BC - 900 years to 22 BC; from 922 BC = 950 years = the jubile when Jesus spoke from Luke 4 and began his ministry September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
Yom Kippur would have been September 11, 922 BC = the 45th day of cycle 60 and the 45th year of reign of King Muh. A double omen of day 45 and year 45. Often emperors were killed because a sun miracle was taken as a bad omen:
"In his 37th year, the king raised a great force of nine hosts, and proceeded eastward..he smote the people of Yue as far as Yu. In his 39th year, he assembled the princes at mount T'oo. The people of King came with tribute. In his 45th year, Pe, prince of Loo died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.51
This battle was at the death of Ahab, 926 BC. This 37th year of Muh may have been 926 BC. A sun miracle may have been taken for an omen that gave Muh the victory.
2 Kings 3:5 "But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel."
This next battle would be the same year as this battle where the King Ahab died, in 927 BC or 926 BC:
2 Chronicles 20:3 "And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah."
This fast may be on Yom Kippur, on the next battle in 927 BC or 926 BC.
Yom Kippur, September 6, 927 BC:
Yom Kippur, September 25, 926 BC:
2 Kings 3:22 "And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
3:23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
The western sunrise, and the sun standing still on the horizon, the water would reflect the red sun like blood. Perhaps then the eastward movement of the wind was paralleled by an east ward movement of the sun. God looking from the western shore out of the Pillar of Fire may not have looked into the rising sun in the east to the Red Sea crossing, but the rising sun in the west lightened the Egyptian army crossing the Red Sea. Likewise, the Red Sea may have been named thus because the Israelites saw the western blood red sun rise and reflect the colour blood as if of the drowned Egyptians from the eastern shore. You can see by the change of one letter, Reed Sea may be Blood Sea, thus Red Sea:
2 Kings 3:25 "And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it."
"Kirharaseth" is Kir Heres, and Heres equals sun. Often ascend or mount is used with the name Heres = sun suddenly ascend. Heres or Chares is like the colour crimson or sun burn from a brilliant sun.
Thus, a sun miracle that day that the water appeared like blood to the Moabites.
Ahab died in 922 BC. Moab rebelled after Ahab died. Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 September 29 AD, on the 50th year from 22 BC to fulfill the jubile.
Thus, you see Reed Sea was changed to Blood Sea, then to Red Sea.
There is at least one occurrence of a blood water sun reflection, this about 926 BC:
Nevertheless, almost every time Red Sea is mentioned in the Old Testament it reads "Reed Sea", thus fresh water sea of the eastern most branch of the Nile River.
In both verses the children of Israel are to stand still and see the salvation of God. Thus, there may have been a deliberate change from Reed Sea to Red Sea by the scribe of the Septuagint because in a similar case the water was turned red.
2 Chronicles 20:17 "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you."
Exodus 14:13 "And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."
There may be rounding errors. 1168 BC - 36 - 25 - 18 = 1089 BC. 5 more years to 1084 BC and David's first year as King of Judah.
There may be this sun miracle of darkness in China in King Ch'aou's 19th year to equal the sun miracle of the fall of Saul and David's first year as King of Judah.
1 Samuel 31:6 "So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together."
1 Samuel 30:17 "And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled."
The fall of Saul to the Philistines and David's battle against Amalek must be the same day. The same day may be the sun miracle of emperor Ch'aou's 14th year or Ch'aou's 19th year to be David's first year King of Judah in 1084 BC. David's 7th year King of Judah was in 1084 BC and his first year as King of Israel would be in 1077 BC. Emperor Ch'aou's 19th year may not be his last year. Thus, the sun miracle of his 14th year may match the battle of David against Amalek when Saul died and David King of Judah. The battle of David in his first year as king of Israel may match the sun miracle of emperor Ch'aou last year, seven years after his 14th year, rather than five years later.
Nevertheless, the sun miracle in King Ch'aou's 14th year may be 1094 BC = a 49 year jubile in Israel. The sun miracle in King Ch'aou's 19th year be in 1089 BC just after the 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC, and there be five more years to David King of Judah in 1084 BC.
Then the sun miracle of King Ch'aou:
"In his 14th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, the regular stars were invisible.
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.149.
David reigned 40 years from this 1084 BC to 1044 BC. To accept the Chinese dates, Ch'aou's last year would be 1084 BC = David's first year as King of Judah.
The Charge King Kung gave on in his 9th year, 899 BC, day 24 of cycle 60 must be the new moon, February 21, 899 BC or the solar eclipse of April 21, 899 BC:
"In his 9th year (King Kung), in the spring, in the first month, on the day ting-hae (24th of cycle), the king made Leang, the recorder of the interior, convey a Charge to Ts'een, baron of Maou. In his 12th month he died"
The Chinese Classics, the Annals of the Bamboo Books, p151
This would make King Kung's first year 907 BC, 900 years before Jesus was to be born on September 12, 7 BC. Thus, a sun miracle in 907 BC could be an omen to the Chinese to appoint a new emperor. 907 BC was when Athaliah became queen.
2 Kings 11:3 "And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land."
Then there may be a sun miracle in 899 BC about six years later = the 9th year of King Kung = the new moon in Chinese spring, day 24 of cycle 60, February 20, 899 BC.
"In his 12th month he died" = the same date one year later when the sun may return.
The next King was Yi who became King when the "day dawned twice at Zheng" 3rd of cycle 60 from 2636 BC = 894 BC.
"During the first year of King Yi, the day dawned twice at Zheng"
"In his first year, which was ping-yin (3d of cycle = 894 BC), when he came to the throne, there were two sunrises in Ch'ing"
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books
The solar eclipse for 894 BC was only partial in China, again like August 24, 897 BC was in summer, June 24, 894 BC, and not spring, and would not be like "the day dawned twice".
The Chinese character is the sun above the horizon.
From King Ch'aou in 984 BC 19 years to King Muh in 965 BC. From the death of King K'ang in 1107 BC 120 years gap to 987 BC, a 3 year gap to 984 BC.
"In his, King Ch'aou's, 14th year, in the summer, in the fourth month, the regular stars were invisible."
The Chinese Classics. p.149.
2 Chronicles 15:10 "So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa."
The third month equals Pentecost in 969 BC = 1000 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD and Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 33 AD. Which equals a gap of 120 years from the first year of King Muh in 968 BC to the last year of King Ch'aou, his 19th year, about 1089 BC. King Ch'ing in 1168 BC 37 years, King Kan in 1133 BC 26 years, King Ch'aou in 1105 BC 19 years to 1086 BC.
But August is not the first month of spring and the eclipse is not total but annualry. The first year of the King was in 894 BC, 3rd of cycle 60 from 2636 BC - 6 - 2 = 4, and not 897 BC.
Sun above horizon is not how a total solar eclipse is normally written. The year of 60 = third year = 894 BC from 2636 BC. Thus, sun above horizon cannot mean a solar eclipse because there was only a very partial solar eclipse in China in 894 BC.
There was a solar eclipse August 24, 897 BC at noon the path in northern China. But it was annular, you would not even notice any difference in daylight. And most important August or June is not the first month of spring.
The first year of Yi was recorded as 3rd of cycle 60, 894 BC. If Yi's first year was 897 BC, 894 BC would both be 3rd of cycle 60 and Yi's 3rd year as well.
If the new moon of February 20, 899 BC was the record of day 24 of cycle 60 was year 9 of King Kung from 907 BC, then year 12 when King Kung died = the first year of King Yi = the solar eclipse north of China, June 24, 894 BC.
Day 24 of cycle 60 in 897 BC is February 11, 897 BC = the tenth day of the first month = when the lamb was to be taken in four days before the Passover Sunday, February 15, 897 BC.
Thus, the Chinese may have recorded the sun rising in the west, like two sun risings, in 894 BC.
There may have been a sun miracle for Lu Yang in 465 BC when the setting sun retreated three solar mansions east.
Similarly the sun rose in the west on China:
"Prince Tau of Yin was an involuntary guest of the king of China when the sun returned to the meridian; it was interpreted as a sign to allow the prince to return home",
Lu-Heng II, 176
"If somebody in white mourning like a woman helped the Prince, and brought about these wonders, when Tan was released, or, as others say, he made his escape in 230 b.c.
The story is narrated in Lun-heng V, 7 {Kan-hm).
From 230 BC to 207 BC are 23 years. There are cycles of 23 years, such as there are 2300 years (23 X 100) from Jacob entering Egypt in 2307 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
From the 49 year jubile in 262 BC to this 230 BC are 33 years, 33 more years to 197 BC. From 197 BC to 164 BC are also 33 years. Both sun miracles in 230 BC and 164 BC are very similar.
The sun rising in the west and passing west east through the meridian = past the noon position, is said also of Hsin Yuan Ping in 164 BC {Shi-chi chap. 28 p. 19v).
Shi-chi chap. 79 and 70.
The 226 BC Rhodes earthquake may have been at the same time this city wall tumbled down = the sun being moved may have caused diverse earthquakes..
The date of 103 BC for Judah Aristobulus I, should be 4 years further back. Then this 226 BC earthquake may also be 230 BC. Likewise the earthquake that caused the city wall to fall was for 230 BC = the sun rising in the west to the meridian in China.
Josephus wrote: "Judah Aristobulus I, was the first Jew "in four hundred and eighty three years and three months" to have established a monarchy since the return from Babylonian captivity.
Back from this 104 BC, 483 years, is 587 BC. 69 X 7 = 483 years. The captivity began in 591 BC not 587 BC.
Forwards from the captivity in 591 BC, 483 years = 108 BC. This is a gap of four years!
"In short, it is again an unfounded assertion that the wife of Cliin Liang caused the city wall to tumble down by her tears. On this principle of sympathetic actions a white halo encircled the sun, when Ching iCo stabbed the king of Cliin, and Venus eclipsed the Pleiades, when the scholar from Wei drew up the stratagem of CK ang-ping for Cliin."
"Mercury between the constellations of the House and the Heart denotes an impending earth-quake. When an earth-quake is going to take place, Mercury corresponds to the House and the Heart. The offuscation of the Pleiades by Venus is like the position of Mercury between the House and the Heart."
LUN-HENG. PART 1. PHILOSOPHICAL ESSAYS OF WANG CHEUNG. TRANSLATED FROM THE CHINESE AND ANNOTATED. BY ALFRED FORJVE, PROFESSOR OF CHINESE AT THE SEMINAR FCR ORIENTAI.ISCHE SPRACHEX, BERLIN.
"The offuscation of the Pleiades by Venus is like the position of Mercury between the House and the Heart" Yes, Venus should be in the Pleiades in June 230 BC. But Mercury must be beside the sun that is in Pleiades in June = Mercury in Castor/Pollux. The heart constellation is in Scorpius 180° from Castor/Pollux. Then the sun must be in Scorpius in June = 180° from Castor/Pollux. The sun rising in the west to the meridian meaning the sun also moved to the other side of the earth, and the sun then appearing in Scorpius with Mercury in June of 230 BC = earth in a reverse orbit.
The time of the sun miracle in 230 BC must have been about midnight in March. Then the sun would travel 180° east. Then Venus in Aquarius would pass through the Pleiades before the sun dawned in the west to pass through the meridian. The sun may have travelled 540° east. Still this must have been about midnight in March for Venus to pass through the Pleiades. The wall tumbled down because of an earthquake. Earthquakes often occurred when there was a sun miracle.
"There was an earthquake in 230 BC and the people suffered from a major famine."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume I, p.132.
Famine and drought often followed sun miracles. The planets were moved when there was a sun miracle. A white rainbow pierced the sun in 397 BC and in this 230 BC. Hsin Yuan Ping saw an emanation of a deity when the sun returned to the meridian also in 163 BC. There may have been sun miracles in 210 BC and 203 BC also. There were also sun miracles in 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC. This very likely was the phoenix of Ptolemy III 246 BC - 222 BC. This jade phoenix from the Han dynasty from 230 BC - 206 BC may have been a representation of recent sightings of phoenixes.
From 397 BC to Jesus' sacrifice on April 3, 33 AD are 430 years. 430 year spans are recorded often in the Bible.
Note the rooster comb or rather crown. Note from the side it looks like an eagle with two sets of wings like the four beasts in Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4:
Jade phoenix with two sets of wings.
Note from the bottom the talons that grasped the sun:
The sun crow is depicted with three legs. In a profile sometimes only three of four legs are seen. The four beasts before God's throne had four legs. Thus, the phoenix must have four legs.
A strong wind was recorded in Liu Pang's victory song in 204 BC:
"A great wind arose, clouds flew up!
My prestige increasing within the seas, I return to my hometown.
But where will I find valiant warriors to hold the four directions?"
'surrounded by those who helped him take the four directions in the first place, this is a strange inquiry.'
The Grand Scribe's Records, volume II, p.94
The third month of 203 BC. Perhaps about the time of the Passover. 204 BC August 14 - September 12: "3rd year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, 7th month. A fuzzy star appeared (xing bo) in Dajiao for over ten days before going out of sight."
East Asian Archaeology, p. 129.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle in the seventh month, August/September 204 BC, and earth had flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. Thus, the need to find the four directions.
"Thereupon, he ordered the officials in charge of offerings to sacrifice to Heaven, earth, the four directions, Shang-ti (The Supreme Deity), the mountains and the rivers. The sacrifices were to be made according to the proper times." July/August 205 BC.
The Grand Scribe's Records, volume II, p.51
Liu Pang's father was given the name Chih-chia. Wang Fu give T'uan. It may be T'uan which means 'blazing, like a fire,' was his agnomen; a possible link between these names would be that if one 'grasps the good' his name is sure to become 'blazing' or 'illustrious'.
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.2.
Liu Pang was born either in 256 BC or 248 BC, on the year of sowing and reaping after the fallow year in Israel. Perhaps there was a sun miracle on his birth. Also, the reason his father was given the name 'blazing' may have been because he was born in the year of a blazing sudden sunrise in the east.
"In his 15th year, of emperor Wen, 166-165 BC, a yellow dragon appeared in Ch-eng-Chi. At this the sovereign issued an edict, saying "A super natural being appeared in Ch-eng-Chi. That will do no harm to the commoners. This year there will accordingly be a good harvest... The ritual officials concerned all said, "In ancient times the Son of Heaven in summer personally paid salutation and offered sacrifices in the suburbs to the Supreme deity."
This may have been a sun miracle in May of 166 BC, perhaps one year after the sun miracle of May 31, 167 BC. 165 BC was a 49th year jubile from 1241 BC.
49 year jubiles appear to begin with Adam in 4672 BC to end in 33 AD and 50 year jubiles appear to begin in 1241 BC = the 49 year jubile, to 591 BC then 70 years captivity, beginning in 521 BC to end in 29 AD. There may be a 50 year jubile from Abraham's death in 2432 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC = 23 X 50 = 1150 years. Adam in year 700 4672 BC may also be a 50 year jubile to 29 AD. 94 X 50 = 4700 years.
From 172 BC the 7th year of release 165 BC = the 49 year jubile.
"He proformed the rites in response to the auspicious Heavenly signs in the fourth month, the first month of summer (6 May-4 June 165 BC)."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume II, p.175.
The fist month of summer seems to match Pentecost in Israel, the 50th day from the Passover.
"A yellow dragon should appear...the tenth month should be the annualary month." The fourth month, Hsin-yuan P'ing, a man of Chao, had an audience by virtue of having observed an emanation."
Thus, half an orbit from the tenth month to the fourth month is six months, 180 days. Thus, the sun may have moved to the other side of earth in the tenth month, and moved back six months later in the fourth month, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Daniel 12:7 "And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
12:11 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.
12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
From May 31, 167 BC to December 12, 164 BC is this 1290 days.
From the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the great day, Monday, September 19, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD are 1290 days.
Deuteronomy 31:10 "And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
This number of days may mark the movement of the sun. However, God knows, not me. Three and a half years are mentioned a number of times in the Bible, such as Jesus' three and a half year ministry - perhaps 3 X 365 + 178 days from Yom Kippur, Friday, October 7, 29 AD to April 3, 33 AD. 1290 days is 195 days more than 3 X 365 days. The sun may have returned September 15, 5 BC after moving on Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.
Because of leap year in 5 BC, this is 4 days more than the year 365. Thus, if the sun returned after 1290 days, it would return 195 days more than the 365th day. Some half reverse orbits are 189 days.
195 days is 6 days more than 189 days of a spring summer half reverse orbit. Just like the sun returning 4 more days later, September 15, 5 BC from September 12, 7 BC, this 195 days more than 3 X 365 days, may be 6 more days later and the model still works.
The 1335 days = three years and eight 30 day months.
From the new moon at the end of the seventh and the beginning of the 8th lunar month, September 26, 29 AD to Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 33 AD are 1335 days.
From Jesus reading Isaiah 61 on Yom Kippur, Saturday, August 6, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is 1335 days. This August 6 is the six day moon = the six day moon of Joshua's long day, Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or the 21st day moon, August 10, 1241 BC. This 1241 BC August 24 is = to August 14, 29 AD or this August 10 is = to July 31, 29 AD, in the tropical calendar, from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.
From September 20, 29 AD to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD is 1290 days.
1260 days; 180 X 7. + 30 days = 1290 days.
Or 365 days X 3.5 = 1278 days, plus the 9 days of the longer summer half orbit from sabbath to sabbath = 1290 days.
Or 360 days X 3.5 = 1260 days.
In England in 1290 AD all Jewish people were asked to become Christian or leave. The Exodus was in 1281 BC. Thus, the background may be equal to the foreground. How grateful I can be my ancestor chose to become Christian.
There be 490 days from Hanukkah to the Passover the following year. There be 800 days before. Adam was born in year 800 Armenian sothis = 4568 BC = 4600 years to Jesus' crucifixion.
800 days before December 12, 164 BC is October 2, 166 BC = the 17th day of the seventh lunar month when Jesus would be born September 12, 7 BC.
490 days after December 12, 164 BC is the full moon = Passover, Saturday, April 16, 162 BC. Jesus was crucified Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
1290 days before Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is September 20, 29 AD = the 22nd day of the seventh month = the last day of the feast of tabernacles. 490 days back from Jesus' sacrifice is Hanukkah, November 30, 31 AD =
John 10:22 "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
Jesus began his ministry probably October 7, 29 AD.
From the defilement of the temple in 167 BC to Jesus' crucifixion and the temple of his body was raised three days later, is 200 years. The Romans took control of Israel from 67 BC. Thus, the Romans had control of Israel for 100 years to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
"He performed the rites in response to the auspicious Heavenly signs in the fourth month, the first month of summer,"
May 6 - June 4, 165 BC. In May 17, 166 BC there was a solar eclipse visible from China, total in the far south. Sometimes sun miracles happened at the same time as eclipses.
Hsin-yuan P'ing, a man of Ch'aou, had an audience by virtue of having observed an emanation."
Notes: "Hsin-yuan P'ing claimed he had observed an emanation of a deity northeast of the capitol."
The grand scribe's records, Volume II, p.176, by Ch'ien Ssu-ma, William H. Nienhauser, Tsai Fa Cheng, Weiguo Cao.
That he saw a deity may have been he saw the angel at the sun move the sun, perhaps on the day of Pentecost Sunday May 11, 165 BC.
"Emperor Wen of Han, 15th year of the Qianyuan reign period, in spring. Within the sun there was the character wang (king)."
East Asian Archaeology, p.152.
1 Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
This event in spring could have been at the time of the Passover in Israel. This figure in the sun in 165 BC may be an angel or it may be the Son of God.
Revelation 19:17 "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; "
Psalm 19:4 "Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,"
March 8, 32 BC the Passover month, "The sky became orange and then day light was dusky; within the sun there was a black vapor."
March 18, 29 BC, day 56 of cycle 60, Thursday, the full moon at the Passover and perhaps darkness at noon in Israel at sunset in China: "Emperor Cheng of Han, 3rd month, day jiwei 56, at sunrise the sun was yellow. There was a black vapor as large as a coin at its center."
March 10, 15 AD the Passover month, "Emperor Wang Mang, 2nd month, "A general amnesty was proclaimed throughout the empire. There was a black vapor as large as a coin at its center."
March 17, 20 AD Sunday 2nd Hebrew day to begin the Passover month, "The sun's center was black."
East Asian Archaeoloastronomy, Sunspots, p.152.
"More than 2000 years ago, the Chinese astronomers reported seeing sunspots when thin clouds, smoke, or dust dimmed the Sun's blinding disk."
National Geographic Picture Atlas of OUR UNIVERSE. p.57.
Isaiah 16:3 "Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth."
God may have covered the sun to make it dark at noon on the Passover in Israel, and only partially dark in China at sunset.
The Pharisees maintained the Pentecost was to be counted 50 days from the day after the Passover while the Sadducees held that it be counted from the Sabbath following the Passover. Thus, the Pharisees would be there to celebrate Pentecost on Sunday, May 24, 33 AD and the Sadducees would be a week late. Then a sun miracle right when the Pharisees grouped from this 165 BC on this 50th day from the day after the Passover - Pentecost - Sunday May 11, 165 BC or June 10, 165 BC, and Leviticus 23 would have given them reason to be so particular about the feast of Pentecost.
"In the 15th year (166-165 BC), a yellow dragon appeared in Ch'eng-chi. He performed the rites in response to the auspicious Heavenly signs in the fourth month, in the first month of summer (6 May - 4 June 165 BC) Hsin-yuan P'ing, a man of Chao, had an audience by virtue of having observed an emanation..In the sixteenth year (165-164 BC), the sovereign personally paid homage through the Suburban Sacrifice in the Temple of the Five Emperors in Wei-yang..In the seventeenth year (164-163 BC), a jade cup was obtained and it was carved with the characters "The Ruler of Men will live a long life. At this the Son of Heaven for the first time changed the reign count to the first year. He ordered the people of the world to hold a great bacchanal. In this year, Hsin-yuan P'ing's fraud came to light, His clan was wiped out."
"Hsin-yuan P'ing waited for the sun to return to the meridian and saw it", December 12, 164 BC = the first Hanukkah.
The Grand Scribes Records Vol.II, p.176
Shih chi, 28.1383, this seems to have been another "magic performance" by Hsin-yuan P'ing. After the sun had returned to the meridian once, he told the emperor, "I expected the sun to rise to the meridian twice [in one day.]"
"After a while the sun really rose to the meridian again. Liang Yu-sheng argues it was this incident that made Emperor Wen change the calendar."
Perhaps the sun retreated to the dawn position in China. Perhaps this was the beginning of Hanukkah and the sun stayed at the dawn position for 84 hours, 7 X 12 hours. Thus, the long night in Israel that lasted eight nights. 7 X 12 hours plus the current night of 12 hours.
Liang Yu-Sheng argues it was this incident that made emperor Wen change the calendar. When he changed the 17th year to the first year. - in the 17th year, 164 - 163 BC, a jade cup was obtained and it was carved with the characters "The Ruler of Men will live a long life". At this the Son of Heaven changed the reign year count from seventeen to the first year.
The Syrian king Antiochus IV desecrated the temple in 168 BC, 200 years before Jesus' crucifixion.
In China on the new moon in Israel, May 31, 167 BC, just a few days before the feast of Barley harvest, Pentecost, the beginning of the third month:
The Prefect of the Grand Granary of Ch'i, Master Ch'un-yu, committed an offence and deserved to be punished. This had to do with agriculture and the seasons, perhaps the stars not appearing in their seasons. This is 1290 days to Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC.
Daniel 12:11 "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.
12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of days."
The 1305 days would be Purim, January 25, 163 BC. After Kislew (Kislew II), Shebat, then Adar. And Adar 15 be the last day of the three days of Purim. Thus, the children of Israel were delivered by God in Esther on the same day of the year, 15th of Adar, December 13, 466 BC. Then the Israelites would be fully delivered January 25, 163 BC keeping the same 1335 days.
I Maccabee 4:50 "Then they burned incense on the altar and lighted the lamps on the lampstand, and these gave light in the temple.
4:51 They placed the bread on the table and hung up the curtains. Thus, they finished all the work they had undertaken.
4:52 Early in the morning on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, which is the month of Chislev, in the one hundred and forty-eighth year,"
Thus, the sun must have moved that day. Perhaps the sun stood on the other side of earth, leaving Jerusalem in darkness, for 7 X 180° = 7 X 12 hours + the 12 hours of the present night. This may be the eight days of Hanukkah that the temple lamps burned in eight days of darkness.
John 10:22 "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
The feast of dedication was to this December, the lunar month November 18 to December 18, of 164 BC - therefore Saturday December 12, 164 BC - when the temple was cleansed.
Comet Halley was seen in 87 BC. Thus, 76 years earlier in 164 BC comet Halley would be seen. There is a Babylonian tablet from 163 BC that records a comet = Halley's comet; and it may have been included with the sun miracles that year, the year the Chinese emperor changed his 17th year to his first year of reign.
"In the eighth month...A comet appeared in the northeast."
A comet appeared in the southwest in the 12th month the second year... January 15, to February 15, 155 BC.
The Grand Scribes Records. Volume II. p.197.
Two separate events.
"In the autumn hail fell in Heng-shan, the large ones measured five ts'un, the deep ones penetrating to two ch'ih. Mars moved in retrograde and guarded the North Star. The moon appeared in the vicinity of the North Star. Jupiter retrograded amid the constellation T'ien-t'ing. An elongated star appeared in the west. (February 154 BC)."
Notes: "T'ien-huo probably refers to ignis fatuus. This is the only reference to this phenomenon in the Shih chi. On ignis fatuus in general, see William H. Nienhauser, Jr., "A UFO in Ancient China: A Comparative Study of the Pi-fang (Fire Crane) and its Western Analogues,"
Asian Culture Quarterly, XVII (Winter 1989): 69-79
I have never seen the moon in the vicinity of the north star. Mars and Jupiter in retrograde may be a product of earth in a reverse orbit. T'ien-t'ing may be T'ien-huo that may be the phoenix that moved the sun moon and planets.
The Han Shu records "sparkling star" in the western quarter of the sky in autumn. T'ien-huo is literally deity-fire. The Fire Crane probably is the phoenix. The phoenix in Chinese was often referred to as the red bird. Also, the Egyptian phoenix the Bennu was depicted as an Heron, crane.
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.197-199:
Here you can see both dragon totems and phoenix totems in Beijing:
The sun depicted in the Dendera Zodiac in Pisces may have wings - meant to be viewed on its side - rather than a fish. In this solar disk: "An eclipse of the Sun is symbolised by a disk within which a goddess is pulling the tail of a baboon, which signifies that she is trying to liberate the Sun." - You can see the woman inside the sun behind the baboon depicted on the Dendera Zodiac: The Egyptian Bennu bird, the phoenix. Pisces fish, both a moon phoenix and a sun phoenix, to move the sun and moon, also as described by the Chinese.
A fish on the moon and a fish on the sun like the Chinese phoenix on the moon and the phoenix on the sun. The sun with a woman and monkey, the moon with a rabbit = the far side of the moon = the rough side that looks like a rabbit.
Sun miracles were often in Spring at the time of the Passover to point to Jesus' sacrifice for us, sometimes on the new moon = like the picture here of a solar eclipse on a new moon - but rather is a picture of a sun miracle, either on a new moon or on the full moon.
The Chinese emperor often came to the throne in the spring, the first month, on a year ending X69 BC or X68 BC = even 100's to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. The Chinese took a new emperor when there was an omen of a sun miracle.
The phoenix may have been visible, or at least imagined, carrying the sun in its talons to or from Pisces. This angel in the sun to be as tall as the sun must be 800,000 miles tall, almost a million miles tall!
The woman depicted inside the sun is poking a monkey. Likewise there appear two dogs or rabbits depicted in the moon = the far side of the moon. the sun moved to the other side of earth = the moon moved to the other side of earth too. The far side of the moon only seen when the sun and moon are moved. The far side of the moon is much rougher and was described as a rabbit in legend by Native Americans.
Perhaps the angel of the sun, or phoenix, looked like a fish. With so many sun miracles near the spring equinox in Pisces this may be where Pisces got its name. Perhaps Lu Yang was thus named after this event. Lu = fish, Yang = sun. The Native American Indians of the Pacific Northwest had many legends of the Thunderbird, the phoenix, and some also of Kolus. "Kolus, as depicted on totem poles, was another supernatural bird, which like the Thunderbird, also has tufts on its head, but instead of curling they are straight and horizontal.
A Kwakiutl crest, Kulos is described as being covered with dazzling white down that causes him to become greatly overheated. To overcome this he can remove his coat of down, revealing his human image. Like the Thunderbird Kulos is endowed with great strength. He is credited with lifting into place house beams too heavy for humans to raise and with moving house frames into position."
Looking at Totem Poles, Hilary Stewart, p.34
"It (the K'un/the roe fish) changes and makes himself into a bird: its name is called P'ung the roc. P'ung's back being so huge we do not know its measure, how many thousand li it is"; has (in its ideographic panorama) a simultaneous interplay with "niao" ("bird"). "At once its name is given, "P'ung, meaning a bird (niao) alone with friends (p'ung). It is alone but not lonely, the Yang-correlate of the Yin- fish."
The characters are for: moon moon fish.
roc means enormous bird of legend able to carry off large animals often depicted in Arabic legends such as in Sinbad.
Flying lake monsters were often recorded in western Canada and the western USA before 1900. They were depicted to even carry off larg cattle.
P'eng was a great mythical bird. There were ostriches in ancient China. Ostriches looked like baby birds. So you can imagine how big an adult ostrich would be. Ancient people knew the sun was far away. Further away than the moon. So they could imagine how big an angel the size of the sun must be when they saw this angel move the sun. You can see two characters for moon on the left of the bird that may have to do with celestial things. Yin fish may mean moon fish as in the fish above the moon in this Dendera Zodiac beside the sun also with a fish on top of it.
Pan also was sometimes a fish = lake monster.
"The constellation Capricornus is often depicted as a sea-goat, a goat with a fish's tail: see Aigaion or Briareos, one of the Hecatonchires. One myth that would seem to be invented to justify a connection of Pan with Capricorn says that when Aigipan, that is Pan in his goat-god aspect, was attacked by the monster Typhon, he dove into the Nile; the parts above the water remained a goat, but those under the water transformed into a fish." Wikipedia.
Thus Pan may be like qilin, unicorn or deer or the E-goat in China. The phoenix was sometimes depicted by both the Chinese and the Egyptians to look like a fish on top of the sun. When in about 169 AD = the end of the Egyptian sothis cycle, of 1460 years, from the Exodus in 1281 BC, it was said Great Pan is dead some think this was Sirius as in Hamlet's Mill. Because Sirius had ceased to mark the last Sothis cycle about this time.
However, the last phoenix was recorded on a coin from 348 AD was the Bennu bird of Egypt standing on a small ball = standing on the sun, with a halo, depicted on a Roman coin from Alexandria in 348 AD. The Chinese phoenix looks very similar, very like a Heron. Although this coin from 348 AD is from long ago, the angel of the sun is very much alive.
The sun is one million miles wide. The ball of the sun, on this coin, is one sixth the height of the phoenix = six million miles high. Mercury is 36 million miles from the sun.
There is a phoenix coin from 330 AD to mark the beginning of Christianity in Rome.
This 350 AD was the 1100 year birthday of Rome from 752 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in 752 BC = the last year of King of Judah, Uzziah and the 49 year jubile.
The Chinese phoenix depicted in oracle bones -
and the Chinese dragon -
The dragon and phoenix in oracle bones are from pictographs depicting exactly what they saw. Note on the head it looks like a crown suggesting a deity: That character is Shen in Chinese:
"shen"in Mandarin is pronounced as the English word "Shun", and means: to state/express/instruct,/surname, and if you combine it with the character "shi":
- it becomes "shen" (the same pronounciation "shun")
- for "god/deity". And judging from the picture, I should say, the meaning of the symbol "shen" is not a surname but an abbreviation of the word "shen" for "god/goddess/deity"
Actually in the most ancient character found on the turtle shell, called Jia Gu Wen, around 3500 years old or during the time of Shang Dynasty, the second dynasty of China, the character is originally a pair of hands picking up one person represented by that vertical line in the middle. In other words, "the first person was made by God, who picked him up from the ground."
The phoenix was likened to a rooster with its comb. The horn of the unicorn and the comb of the rooster may be the same thing, that is, that may be what they saw. The Egyptian phoenix the bennu bird is depicted with a crest of two feathers from the back of its head and a long beak. Sometimes the Egyptians depicted the phoenix as the eagle. In the Bible the eagle can be the phoenix.
The Egyptian Bennu bird was a Heron. What appears above the fish on the sun in Pisces:
Horus was like the Bennu bird the Creator. And if I can make out the picture it looks like a man on the throne to the right of the writing and above the fish on the sun. The Chinese character for God Shangdi is an emperor on the throne. Then this may be a partial view perhaps of God, the head of the Bennu bird like the long neck of the Heron. A Heron depicted on the back of a turtle in this bronze sculpture from the Hunan Provincial Museum means long life because the Phoenix/Heron never dies and the turtle together with the deer/unicorn mean long life.
While in Hunan and Beijing our prayers were answered and we finalized our adoption and were refreshed. The Chinese writing that goes with it is all about the sun and moon; "Husband and wife love to permanent, Elegant The all and the one. The sign of the Turtle never gets old, lasts forever. Just like my love. That is the phoenix. The phoenix never dies.
The emperor, is included in the Chinese character for phoenix. Picture one and picture two of the heron on turtle. "A beautiful woman in white dress in the morning" - could refer to an angel at the sun or moon:
The character for Lu Yang:
The character for Luan:
the character for Luan is like combining the two characters for Lu Yang.
There is the bird on top of the sun for Lu, then the character Yang below:
The Luan was the king of birds, the phoenix. The male and female phoenix, the Feng and Luan. "The feng and huang are in a cage, while fowl and pheasant soar freely about." "The times you met were inopportune, Luan and feng birds hunched down and hid away, While owls soared on high!""The feng whirls and mounts on high. He will surely retire and go far away.. The feng and huang soar a thousand jen, When they observe virtue shining, they land there. Where they see the dangerous signs of little virtue They flap their wings faster and leave it."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume VII, p.300 - p. 304.
In legend one was able to sometimes get a fleeting glimpse of the dragon in the sky. Perhaps what they saw was an angel moving the sun around the earth and they had to look away or get blinded by the sun. Even the dragon was much brighter than the sun.
Psalm 18:12 "At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."
The brightness was of God, brighter than the sun, and not a dragon.
Ancient people looked right at the sun to record partial solar eclipses, sometimes through a chalcedony stone. The 28 lunar mansions are called the Fengshui. You can see the word for wind which looks like the Feng bird depicting the lunar zodiac -
Thus, Yao's lunar zodiac from 2300 BC is named after the wind, the four winds, perhaps the Feng bird/phoenix, the raven that carried the sun in many ancient legends. Job 29:18 describes the phoenix as the "Hol". The "Hol" was the sound for the name of the phoenix. King Wan's dream recounts the strong wind on a similar sun miracle to Joshua's long day from China. God must have an angel at the sun and perhaps one on the moon also, perhaps what the Egyptians tried to depict on the Denderah Zodiac.
The Sphinx:
Faces the east, perhaps looking for the sun to finally rise after a long night such as Moses' three days of darkness in Egypt. The sun set in the east four several times according to Egyptian priests. Harmakhet, a variant of Horus, the god of the eastern sun is thought to have been represented by the sphinx. The sphinx with a human head and lion body may depict one of the four beasts before God's throne, Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4. All four of these beasts have been described in legends about sun miracles.
The Bennu bird and the Feng bird were similarly depicted as a Heron and the likeness of a Heron.
From 141 BC above: "Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei."
"Guarded" means moved to. Thus, Mars would be moved 180° to near the north star, perhaps Scorpius in the sun miracle perhaps in February 11, 141 BC, 180° from where Mars normally is in February in Taurus, is Scorpius. Jupiter likewise moved to near the north star perhaps the night of the sun miracle in January/February. Chinese to French to English: "the planet of the year went the wrong way till the constellation T'ien-ting."
Here you see the planets, and Mars in Taurus on the new moon, February 11, 141 BC. 180° away from Taurus is Scorpius.
Notes: "Liang Yu-sheng believes that these movements of the two planets and the moon are not in keeping with astronomical probability and cites the Han shu "T'ien-wen chih" as containing more revelant information on the movement of the planets. David Pankenier:"The problem is essentially that, if pei-ch'en (the pole-star asterism) and t'ien-t'ing (San-t'ing) are given their usual attested meanings, the positional observations involving Mars, the Moon and Jupiter become physically impossible.
The orbital inclination of Mars and Jupiter of 1.8 and 1.3 degrees respectively means neither is ever seen farther than that of the ecliptic.
There is simply no way any of them could ever be observed in the vicinity of the north polar region to which pei-ch'en and t'ien-t'ing both refer. The same is true of the Moon.
The translation 'constellations north of the ecliptic' is not acceptable, even if understandable as an attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable. Even if this did solve the problem for Mars and the Moon, the problem of Jupiter's purported position remains unresolved."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, Emperor Ching the Filial, Basic Annals, p.198
Thus, Jupiter may have orbited the sun twice that year till the sun returned in February 154 BC and Jupiter was in the constellation Libra, the constellation the sun is in in winter. Thus, this could be the north constellation. The comet may be the dragon, the glory of God. Thus, a sun miracle in February, a sun miracle half an orbit later in August the beginning of the Chinese autumn, and a sun miracle in February again with the next comet. Then there must be a sun miracle one year after the sun miracle in August:
"On the yi-hai day of the sixth month (27 July 154 BC), the Emperor pardoned the troops that had led and Yi the son of King Yuan of Ch'u, and others who had participated in plotting rebellion."
Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.201
Thus, this July 27, 154 BC may be the day the sun returned and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit. The comet that started the rebellion must have been on the day of a sun miracle January 27, 154 BC. This comet was associated with rebellion. Then the first sun miracle must have been July 27, 155 BC and was counted as autumn. Then also half an orbit later the comet or fire crane must have appeared at a sun miracle January 27, 154 BC.
This could move the sun movement of 155 BC back one year to 156 BC. Thus, 156 BC was the seventh year, a fallow year, possibly the time for a sun miracle. Then there may have been three sun miracles, 156 BC, 149 BC and 142 BC, seven years apart.
"Emperor Jing of Han, 3rd year of the Qianyan reign period, 7th month. In the northern sky there was a scarlet object like a mat. It was more than ten zhang long. Some said it was a scarlet vapour, some said it was a fissure in the heavens."
East Asian Archaeology, p.188.
The seventh month began August 1, 154 BC.
The 50th year was the jubile. Thus, counting back from the jubile when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61, 29 + 155 = 184, - 3 X 50 = 34 / 7 = 5. Thus, 156 BC - 155 BC must have been a 7th year, fallow year.
Jupiter and Mars never vary more than 2° from the plane of the ecliptic. Thus, they could not normally approach the North Star, neither can the moon. So this must rather describe earth in a reverse orbit and the planets shifted out of the plane of their orbit. All the planets would appear to move in retrograde to appear in their seasons while earth was in a reverse orbit.
170 BC was the jubile. Thus, in September 169 BC the children of Israel could sow. Likewise 7 years later in 162 BC and in 155 BC. Thus, that summer of 155 BC the children of Israel would be hungry because that seventh year the land was fallow. Likewise at the sun miracle in autumn of 148 BC and in February 141 BC. However, the date of a solar eclipse October 22, 148 BC although a new moon is incorrect. There was a solar eclipse on June 7, 149 BC, day 11.
This solar eclipse was recorded in autumn the ninth month, not summer. Thus, the October 22, 148 BC date on a new moon when solar eclipses can occur was the recorded date in "Grand Scribes Records, Volume II". As with other Chinese dates of eclipses, often they are records of sun movements. The same day of cycle 60 but different years and seasons.
These sun miracles may have been intended for the Sabbath year, the year of the fallow ground.
Deuteronomy 31:10 "And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
Thus, the law would be read at the time of the wise men when all of Jerusalem was troubled, September 15, 5 BC.
Exodus 40:1 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail."
Nehemiah 8:2 "And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month."
September 3, 458 BC was Sunday the first day of the week and the first day of the seventh Hebrew month.
One year after Jesus was born, was September 12, 6 BC and was the first day of the seventh month.
There was an earthquake and it hailed heavily in 149 BC. Thus, the sun may have moved one year earlier on October 22, 149 BC to move back October 22, 148 BC.
October 22, 149 BC was the 17th day of the seventh month. Thus, there may be a sun miracle on that date symbolic of Jesus' birth to be the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC.
The king was often killed when there was a sun miracle. There was an amnesty declared on May 31, 148 BC. And what may have preceded it.
"On the yi-ssu day of the fourth month (31 May 149 BC), he granted an amnesty throughout the world and bestowed an increase of one rank. He abolished the restrictions and restraints [on serving as officials]. The earth quaked. It hailed in Heng-shan and Yuan-tu with the large stones measuring one ch'ih eight tsun (a foot eight inches.)"
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.207.
Then the sun should return April 23, 147 BC: "In the third month (April 18 - May 17) a comet appeared in the northwest. In the fourth month the earth quaked." Thus, the comet may have been the dragon. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle 144 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
"On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213.
Thunder in February was regarded as a sign. Thus, again the planets, now all five in retrograde motion near T'ien-t'ing by the North Star. This is like the record of The emperor Chuen-Heuh; dynastic title Kaou-Yang. "His mother was called Neuchoo. She witnessed the Yaou-kwang star (Benetnasch) go through the moon like a rainbow." The moon never goes near the handle of the Big Dipper, Benetnash.
The sun when dimed may appear purple during a sun miracle. A French translation to English "the sun appeared crimson". The sun must be dimmed over a long period to leave the same daily coral line.
The sun and the moon must be moved up or down to the other side of the earth to keep earth in the same season in its now reverse orbit. Likewise, the sun and the moon must be moved up or down to keep the tides at the same level as normal. "The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing".
From the Aquarium of Hawaii, in Maui:
Coral at the aquarium is given 12 hours of light each day by a light bulb. Then, even on dark cloudy days in deep ocean water a coral ring may be added. Thus, the coral needs the equivalent of 12 hours of daylight each day. Each day lays a new layer. Perhaps more light in a shorter time could equal this normal 12 hour cycle.
Here you can see Certified Farm Raised Coral from Hawaii:
Deuteronomy 33:13 "And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
33:14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,"
Yao's long day April 1, 2315 BC was the day Joseph was made governor over all of Egypt. Thus, "the precious fruits brought forth by the sun."
God moved both the sun and the moon often, and on dates that pointed to Jesus' birth, ministry and sacrifice.
Also, sunlight must be dimmed to avoid overheating one side of the earth and disturbing weather patterns. Thus, this describes earth in a reverse orbit with the five planets moving backwards against the stars through the year. The last day of the twelfth month is a new moon in Israel.
If this was rather March 12 then this might be the first day of Nissan, the beginning of the year. Even February 11, 141 BC, the new moon, may be the first day of the lunar month Nissan if the Israelites let their calendar back up one month. Also there are 29.5 days in a lunar cycle. Thus, the Chinese could have counted February 12 as the 30th day, the end of the month. Then this February 12 should be the new moon in Israel.
The lunar calendar backs up 11 days a year. Then there must be a sun miracle on the day of Atonement 187 days later at the end of the year. This could be August 16, 141 BC. The sun must return 186.6 days later on this August 16, 141 BC the tenth lunar day of the seventh Hebrew month. If China saw the sun stand still at noon February 12, 141 BC Israel should see the sun stand still, retreat, or suddenly set and rise in the east, at sunset August 16, 141 BC.
A few months previous the sun and moon were recorded as red for five days. Thus, a red sun can be normal. A crimson or purple sun is not normal.
The Great One is God. The Purple Palace may have been named after the colour purple of the sun in a sun miracle.
There may have been another sun miracle on Sunday, June 11, 139 BC or on the full moon Thursday, day 45 of cycle 60, June 21, 138 BC:
There are 38 years from this 138 BC to 100 BC, three years from 103 BC, 100 BC, when the sun moved back after three years of a reverse orbit. A like sun miracle in January in 103 BC 180° to the June position in the zodiac.
Or the same day one year later June 11, 138 BC would be the day of Pentecost. Then one year later the sun may move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
"Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan period, summer, 4th month, day wushen 45. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.189.
In 133 BC: "Under the consulate of Africanus and Fabius, the sun was seen shining at midnight."
Then in June 11, 139 BC this was written for the emperor of China now the emperor of the Han dynasty:
"Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd year of the Jianyuan period, summer, 4th month, day wushen 45. There was a bright light as if the sun appeared at night."
East Asian Archaeology, p.189.
This record of the sun coming out at night must be the same day. The Chinese records the day of 60 and the year of 60. Thus, this same date should be the Chinese date, 139 BC.
From 138 BC - 70 years = 68 BC = 100 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Rome conquered Jerusalem in 63 BC.
There may be sun miracles recorded in China in seven year cycles, 155 BC, 148 BC, and 141 BC - then also this 139 BC.
From 141 BC are 38 years to 103 BC.
Thus, both night battles of Joshua 10:9 and Judges 7:19 of Joshua and Gideon the same night, may have benefited from the sun rising in the west at night.
Thales predicted an eclipse, supposedly the one that took place in May 28, 585 BC. However, he only predicted the year and there is no evidence he had the means to actually predict an eclipse at the time.
"Amoung their other battles there was one night engagement. As, however, the balance had not inclined in favour of either nation, another combat took place in the sixth year, in the course of which, just as the battle was growing warm, day was on a sudden changed into night. This event had been foretold by Thales, the Milesion, who forewarned the Ionians of it, fixing for it the very year in which it actually took place. The Medes and the Lydians, when they observed the change, ceased fighting, and were alike anxious to have terms of peace agreed on."
Herodotus, 1.74
How can the battle begin to warm at 4 PM just an hour before sunset? The soldiers would be retreating before the coming night. The day begins to warm usually about noon. Thus, this "eclipse" may be the darkness at the fall of Jerusalem, noon, September 7, 591 BC, or 12:30 PM at Halys, Turkey.
Jerusalem fell the same year according to history. Some have dated the fall of Jerusalem eight months before the eclipse of Halys. Perhaps the fall of Jerusalem was the same time as the "eclipse" of Halys. Thus, the eclipse of Thales and the eclipse that ended the battle between the Medes and the Lydians may be the darkness the seventh day of the fifth lunar month September 7, 591 BC. Darkness at noon in Israel is darkness at noon in Halys Turkey - same time zone.
This eclipse was said to have occurred in the fourth year of the 48th Olympiad. Rather, the darkness may have been in the 47th Olympiad, the number 7 mistaken for the number 8 = a difference of four years.
Jerusalem fell and was burnt on the seventh day of the fifth month = darkness at noon September 7, 591 BC = the solar eclipse at sunset in China = noon on Israel, on day 40 of cycle 60, the sixth month, September 7, 591 BC.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire."
Year of reign 15, year of cycle 6, moon VI, day of cycle 40.
King Ting, first year was yih-maou (52nd of cycle 60, 605 BC)"
605 BC = 52nd of cycle from 2636 BC; 2636 BC - 605 BC + 51 = 1980; 1980 / 60 = 33; 2636 BC - 1980 = 51 = 605 BC. 605 BC - 14 = 15th year from 605 BC = 591 BC. Year 6 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC = 591 BC; 2636 BC - 591 BC = 2045 years, 6 years back 2045 years - 6 = 2040 years / 60 = 34. Therefore, 591 BC is year 6 of cycle 60 because 34 X 60 = 2040; The VI month = the 6th month in China = the 5th month in Persia. Day 40 of cycle 60; 2636 BC - 591 BC = 2045; 2045 X 365.25 = 746936.25; 746936 / 60 = 12448.933; .933 X 60 = 56; January 26 = day 56; + the days of the months: + 5 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 7 = 280; 280 - 240 (4 X 60) = 40 = September 7, 591 BC.
Half an orbit before September 7, 591 BC = the new moon and Passover month, March 6, 591 BC.
The record states this eclipse on day 40 of cycle 60 was not visible, was not a solar eclipse.
September 1, 591 BC was this fifth month in Persian, the sixth month in China.
The solar eclipse of Halys in May 28, 585 BC was assumed to count to the fifth month from Janauary.
The actual solar eclipse record may not have been the solar eclipse in May 28, 585 BC, but the darkness at noon on the seventh day of the fifth month counting from April = the darkness at noon = the fall of Jerusalem = a sun miracle and not an eclipse.
The lunar calendar of the Medes and Lydians may be the same lunar calendar as Israel. Thus, the total darkness in the fifth month = the same September 7, 591 BC. Darkness for a full hour at noon is more likely to be recorded than darkness for just a few minutes.
This is when the sun would be ashamed as prophesied in Jeremiah rather than on the beginning of the lunar month.
Jeremiah 6:4 "Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out."
Thus, the sun at the sunset position on China, noon Israel, would suddenly turn dark, and be the solar eclipse recorded in China. Thus, also this sudden sunset on China may have been the sun revolving around the earth near the speed of light, and may be like the three hours, or hour of darkness, at noon, when Jesus was on the cross.
The eclipse of May 28, 585 BC lasted only a few minutes. You can see the path of totality passed through Halys Turkey:
So the solar eclipse record is possible. However, the sun would be setting on Halys Turkey, the solar eclipse for a few minutes, and then the sun appear, for one hour before sunset. The darkness at noon September 7, 591 BC may have lasted one hour and there be two hours of sunlight afterwards. The darkness recorded may have been the sun darkened at the fall of Jerusalem the same year, same time, the same fifth lunar month, September 7, 591 BC.
Historians state the eclipse of Halys was the same year as the fall of Jerusalem. Thus, the eclipse of Halys must be the darkened sun at the fall of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC.
The sun darkened in Israel at noon on the seventh day of the lunar month would last one hour as the sun revolved around the earth at the speed of light. Noon Israel time is about 12:30 PM in the afternoon at Halys Turkey where battle was joined in the afternoon. Far more effective in frightening the soldiers to abandon battle is the hour of darkness September 7, 591 BC. Thus, a popular date of scholars has fallen.
See Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses -1999 to +3000, by Jean Meeus and Fred Espanek, 2007.
Six years previous the solar eclipse May 28, 585 BC was the fall of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC. Thus, the sixth year may count from the year of the fall of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 15:8 "Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noon-day: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
15:9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD."
Also, counting from Joshua's conquest of Palestine in 1241 BC, 49 years to begin a jubile at the end of 49 years, the jubile would be in 603 BC, and the 12th year 591 BC.
Jesus stayed behind to inquire of the doctors of the law in Jerusalem when he was 12.
Thus, the 12th year when Jerusalem was captured may have referred to the jubile year as well as to Zedekiah's 12th year. Nevertheless the jubile was also counted every 50 years.
Thus, with the first year in 1241 BC to the jubile to be in September 591 BC - the captivity was September 7, 591 BC so the jubile was not celebrated till the return 70 years later. 591 BC less 70 years captivity, then from 521 BC the last jubile was September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD, when Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61.
1242 BC would be the 49 year jubile that never changed. The next year 1241 BC would then be the 50th year. The 50 year jubile counting from 1241 BC = two different cycles 49 year jubiles and 50 year jubiles.
Thus, also from the 20th year of Xerxes in Shushan, when the wall around Jerusalem was completed in 458 BC, was 10 jubiles of 49 years, 490 years to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. Also, counting 49 year jubiles from 1242 BC, continually to 33 AD without the 70 year captivity.
Moses died in the fortieh year of the Exodus from March 30, 1281 BC, that would be November 26, 1242 BC. Then the 49 year cycle jubile should count from the beginning of the fiftieth year, 1242 BC. This works continually to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD.
The sun may have fallen from the sky in September 7, 591 BC on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month rather than on the first day when there was a new moon. Even so, there was no solar eclipse at that new moon.
The date of a solar eclipse in China that was no eclipse yet was the 7th day of the fifth month 40th day of cycle 60, sixth month 591 BC. Then what was recorded as an eclipse at the battle of Halys may have been the darkness at noon Israel when the temple was taken.
The sun must have fallen from the sky at noon time September 7, 591 BC. Thus, the Chinese would see the setting sun suddenly set and no sunset twilight but sudden darkness and recorded a solar eclipse on day 40. This would be lunar day 40 counting from the previous month.
Because of the difference of one day in the beginning of the lunar month, this would be the Hebrew lunar day 9 of the second lunar month.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Seventy times seven = 490 years, from the completion of the wall of Jerusalem to Jesus' sacrifice.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
From the seventh year, a fallow year of rest, from 458 BC = 451 BC are 7 X 7 + 62 X 7 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
In 62 X 7 days back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD is 434 days. 434 - 365 = 69 days = January 24, 32 AD.
Daniel 10:4 "And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."
January 24, 32 AD is the 24th day of the lunar month.
The battle of Merom may have been February 5, 1240 BC, the 24th day of the first lunar month = Daniel 10:4.
Daniel 10:4 "And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;"
62 X 7 years = 434 years. 434 years back from Jesus' sacrifice is 402 BC.
"In his 24th year, the king (King We-leeh) died." "His (King Ngan) 1st year was kang-shin (17th of cycle, = BC 400).
There may have been a sun miracle in 402 BC, whereupon the Chinese saw that as an omen to change emperors.
Nehemiah 12:22 "The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian."
Jaddua began his priesthood about 400 BC. He was the last High Priest recorded in the Bible till the New Testament.
The sun fell from the sky at noon in Amos.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
Amos 5:18 "Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
5:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"
The sun fell from the sky for Moses to begin the three days of darkness in Egypt in Exodus, perhaps days before the Exodus on March 30, 1281 BC.
Exodus 10:21 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
The sun also fell from the sky in Phaethon, perhaps dating from many sun miracles starting from a sun miracle about 2315 BC and the low Nile seven years later in 2308 BC to 2302 BC during the seven years of famine in Egypt. The eclipse of May 28, 585 BC was for 4 PM hardly the time "when the fighting had been joined, day suddenly became night".
Also the seventh lunar day of the fifth month could not be a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse.
Thus, rather than the May 28, 585 BC solar eclipse, the sun may have fallen from the sky at this battle and at the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC on the seventh day of the fifth month.
Thus, the Captivity of Jerusalem may rather have been from September 7, 591 BC; not 587 BC or 585 BC, on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month = the month of Av, as recorded in the Bible. A sun miracle and not a solar eclipse.
Habakkuk 1:9 "They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand."
The word for sand can mean phoenix as in Job 29:18. Perhaps this indicates a sun miracle upon the fall of Jerusalem.
2 Kings 25:8 "And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house he burnt with fire."
Nebuchadnezzar wrote:
Daniel 4:2 "I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
4:3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders!"
Darius wrote:
Daniel 6:27 "He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
Daniel 5:4 "They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone."
Daniel 5:30 "In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
5:31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
Cyrus the Great invaded Babylon, the 17 day moon, Monday, October 12, 539 BC:
The real date probably eleven years more recent, also on Monday, also on the 17 day moon, also on October 12. Jesus may have been born on the 17th day of the lunar month, September 12, 7 BC. Here is October 12, 528 BC:
13 years more recent the same 17 day moon, is 526 BC October 18.
Herodotus states that Darius was only "about 20 years of age" when Cyrus just before his death had passed the Araxes on his fatal expedition.
Darius I reigned 32 years from 509 BC to 477 BC. Cyrus the great died in 518 BC. Then Darius may have been born in 538 BC and died in 477 BC and lived 62 years.
Darius II may have been 62 in, not in 424 BC, but Darius II be 62 years old when he came to reign in about 413 BC, and he reigned 19 years, from about 414 BC to 395 BC, and may have lived 81 years.
Xerxes II reigned for only 45 days. He was murdered by Phamacyas and Menostanes on Sogdianus' orders, while drunk. Sogdianus ruled for six months and was killed a few months later and Darius II became the sole ruler of the Persian Empire - See Xerxes II in Wikipedia.
Daniel 9:1 "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem."
Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
Darius II was 62 when he took the kingdom may have been born ten years more recent than in 484 BC = Darius II born in 474 BC. Darius II reigned 19 years from 413 BC to 394 BC = Darius II was 62 when he took the kingdom.
Darius II reigned 7 years more recent than 423 BC and not died 404 BC but he died in 397 BC.
Darius the first was 30 not 62 when he became King. The Bible record of Darius being 62 when he became King most likely is accurate.
The detail of his age being preserved in the scripture, even though this Darius at age 62 appears in the time of Darius the first when Daniel would be about 100, the next thing we learn is Daniel may have lived a full 100 years more to Darius II.
Thus, If Darius II was born perhaps in 484 BC, he would be 62 in 423 BC and be 80 in 404 BC. These dates must be moved forward 10 years.
"Rabbinic sources suppose that he was still alive during the reign of the Persian king Ahasuerus (better known as Artaxerxes)." - Wikipedia. Xerxes' son was Artaxerxes II.
If alive during Xerxes' reign = Esther, Daniel may still be alive in Darius' II reign. The last year of Artaxerxes was the first year of Darius II.
Daniel 10:1 "In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision."
Jeremiah 29:10 "For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place."
Leviticus 26:34 "Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it."
Ezra 3:4 "They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;"
Ezra 3:1 "And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem."
70 years from September 7, 591 BC = 521 BC, the first year = 520 BC. A solar eclipse record in China, the seventh month, day 19 of cycle 60 was supposed to be June 3, 520 BC when the new moon is May 30, 520 BC - four days earlier.
There was a new moon and total solar eclipse in China, day 19 of cycle 60, June 10, 521 BC. However, June is not normally the seventh month. September is often the seventh month in China.
Nevertheless, a sun miracle to mark the return from Babylon to Israel is a possibility. That possibility is made because of other sun miracles on the same day of 60 as solar eclipses within one year.
There can only be a solar eclipse when the moon passes in front of the sun, and those eclipses are all calculated.
The moon passed by the sun three days before this day 19 of cycle 60. The seventh China month may equal the seventh Israel month.
June 5, 520 BC is day 19 of cycle 60, was three days after the moon passed by the sun. 60 days later, the Hebrew new moon August 1, 520 BC was at the first visibility of the moon. 60 more days later, day 19 of cycle 60, Sunday October 1, 520 BC is five days after the moon passed by the sun. September = sept = seven, the usual seventh month both in the Hebrew and the Chinese.
This Sunday October 1, 520 BC, or more accurately, this second day, Monday, October 2, 520 BC, the second day of the week = Monday, was the 19th day of cycle 60.
The first day of the week, Sunday, was soon after the first visibility of the moon about September 27/28 520 BC. Sunday October 1, 520 BC was the first day of the week. The second day of the week Monday, October 2, 520 BC. October 2, 520 BC, day 19 of cycle 60, was about the 5th Hebrew lunar day of the seventh month.
Likewise for 521 BC. October 5, 521 BC was the Chinese new moon. Sunday, October 9, 521 BC may also be counted as the Hebrew first day of the seventh month - moon's first visibility, and first day of the week.
Jerusalem fell at noon Israel, September 7, 591 BC the seventh lunar day of the fifth lunar month. This October 2, 520 BC the 7th day of the seventh lunar month in China = the fourth lunar day in Israel.
Nehemiah 8:3 "And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday,"
Midday Israel = sunset China. A sun miracle at sunset in China may have been taken as a solar eclipse. The sudden darkness at noon, at the fall of Jerusalem, at the seventh day of the fifth month, September 7, 591 BC was recorded as a solar eclipse in China on day 40 of cycle 60 when there can be no solar eclipse on a day 40!
Thus, a sun miracle at midday Israel may have been taken as a solar eclipse again, 71 years later, in China. Thus the return of the children of Israel at about the same month and day 71 years later.
Thus, October 2, 520 BC was seven days from the moon passing by the sun, the seventh day of the Chinese seventh month = about the fourth day of the Hebrew seventh month from the first visibility of the moon Monday, September 25, 520 BC. Thus, a sun miracle 71 years after the fall of Jerusalem to mark the return from exile may have occurred about the same month, near the same day of the month.
This first day the children of Israel heard the Law, in Ezra and Nehemiah, should be the same day, October 1, 520 BC.
Josephus wrote the priests served their course from the beginning of the week to the end of the week, from Sabbath to Sabbath. So, Sunday October 1, 520 BC may be counted the first day of the seventh month, the first day of the week closest to the first day of the lunar month.
This solar eclipse record from China for day 19 of cycle 60 cannot be a solar eclipse because the year is 520 BC not 521 BC. But this record does match this second year, seventh month, the first day of the Hebrew month, when the people gathered in Jerusalem to sacrifice.
June 10, 521 BC was a partial solar eclipse in China on this day 19 of cycle 60. The record of the solar eclipse could be either date, June 10, 521 BC or a sun miracle October 2, 520 BC.
Darius is named in many verses. Darius' second year was 507 BC = 500 years to the birth of Jesus. There are two Darius; Darius I reigned from 509 BC, and Darius II reigned from 413 BC. The son of Ahasuerus, Xerxes, and the 62 weeks in Daniel to Jesus' sacrifice = 402 BC are Darius II. Daniel may have lived over 200 years.
Ezra 4:5 "And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia."
Ezra 4:24 "Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
Ezra 5:5 "But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
5:6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
5:7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace."
Ezra 6:1 "Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon."
Ezra 6:12 "And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
6:13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
6:14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
Nehemiah 12:22 "The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian."
Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
Daniel 6:1 "It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;"
Daniel 6:6 "Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever."
Daniel 6:9 "Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree."
Daniel 6:25 "Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you."
Daniel 6:28 "So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."
Daniel 9:1 "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;"
Daniel 11:1 "Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him."
Haggai 1:1 "In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,"
Haggai 1:15 "In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king."
Haggai 2:10 "In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
Zechariah 1:1 "In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
Zechariah 1:7 "Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
Zechariah 7:1 "And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;"
Zechariah 8:16 "These are the things that ye do; Speak the truth to one another; render true and perfect justice in your streets.
8:17 And do not contrive evil against one another, and do not love perjury. Because all these are things that I hate, declares the LORD."
Zechariah 8:19 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace."
Any of these fasts may be dates of sun miracles.
"Darius the son of Ahasuerus" = the son of Xerxes, Darius II, his first year about ten years more recent than 423 BC = 413 BC.
Darius II may be Darius the Mede in Daniel 5:31 and be 62 years old when he came to reign about 413 BC.
Nevertheless, just like the solar eclipse record for February 10, 504 BC in the Chinese Classics, that is Adar three, the third lunar day of the twelfth month, when the second temple was finished. There was a solar eclipse visible in China on the day 48 of cycle 60, February 16, 505 BC. Thus, God may move the sun one year after the solar eclipse on the same day of cycle 60 to hide the sun miracle.
The Passover, March 22, 504 BC would be day 28 of cycle 60, when China may see a solar eclipse at sunset.
This March 22, 504 BC would be the sixth year of Darius. Thus, the temple was begun in the second year of Darius, 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Then three and a half years to the Passover, to Darius' sixth year from Darius' second year, just like there were three and a half years of Jesus' ministry.
This 505 BC the Milky Way was not visible in China. Thus, there should be a sun miracle, and not just a solar eclipse that year.
Then, the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month = three and a half years before March 22, 504 BC. That tenth lunar day at sunset on Israel, to equal the day not light nor dark in Zechariah 14, the ten day moon would be visible just above the eastern horizon for 12 hours. The Chinese would also see the ten day moon just above the western horizon for 12 hours.
"the day of small things" perhaps as this day of Azal, the throwing down of the goat. Just as after Jesus spoke from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 the people went to throw him down the brow of the hill of Nazareth = this day of Atonement.
The Chinese Classics has the right year both times, the right year of cycle 60, that matches Bible events one year more recent than the solar eclipses. God must have timed the sun miracles one year later to match solar eclipses in days of 60.
There must then be a sun miracle that first day, Sunday, in Israel that God showed his approval, that the Chinese recorded as a solar eclipse.
Ezra 3:6 "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
Nehemiah 8:13 "And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law."
The second day = Monday, perhaps the same time as in Ezra as in Nehemiah. Monday, October 2, 520 BC = the 19th day of cycle 60 that the Chinese recorded a solar eclipse; that may have been a sun miracle on Israel.
In India Mahavira attained Nirvana on 15 October 527 BC. This could be the new moon day 1 = October 15, 527 BC = the first day of the seventh month, or the full moon day 15 the first day of the feast of tabernacles. This may be the background for the Diwali festival of lights November 11, 2015. Ezra 3:4 may have occurred on this date, the 15th lunar day of the seventh month = the first day of the feast of tabernacles.
Darius died in 477 BC not 486 BC. Thus, Cyrus may not have died in 530 BC, but 521 BC. Thus, this decree may have been made in 527 BC whereupon a sun miracle on the feast of tabernacles.
In India the Mahabharata: Atharva Veda 7.81.1 "Forward and backward by their wondrous power move these two youths (Sun and Moon), disporting around the ocean."
Truth About Hinduism, Scientific Errors in Hinduism
The sun going forward and backward can only mean the sun rising in the west and setting in the east, or earth in a reverse orbit instead of a normal orbit.
Ezra 1:1 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
1:2 Thus, saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
Cyrus reigned over Persia from 547 BC or 549 BC, (not 559 BC). Cyrus reigned over Babylon from 528 BC to 518 BC. Thus, Cyrus' first year must count from his conquest of Babylon in about 528 BC. Then his decree to build the temple of Jerusalem was begun about 525 BC in his third year. Thus, the Indian festival of lights may have originated with a sun miracle of darkness and light.
Isaiah 41:25 "I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay."
"from the rising of the sun" Cyrus in Hebrew means "like the sun".
There may have been counted 70 years of captivity from 600 BC to 530 BC as well as from 591 BC to 521 BC and from 577 BC to 507 BC.
Daniel 11:1 "Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him."
The Darius in Daniel 11:1 may be the King Darius of Persia who reigned for 31 years from 509 BC to 478 BC / 477 BC. Thus, Daniel may have died in Darius' first year before the work to build the second temple began in Darius' second year.
Darius of Daniel, that appears at 62 years of age, does not appear to be Darius I of Persia.
Darius II would be 62 years old when he became King about 413 BC. Thus, Daniel may have lived more than 200 years. Isaac lived to 180 years.
Daniel if born in 630 BC and if the captivity was in 612 BC and Daniel 18 at the captivity, Daniel would also be about 80 years of age in 550 BC.
Or Daniel may have been 18 years old if the Captivity was in 602 BC = Daniel born in 620 BC. Cyrus appears to take the kingdom about 551 BC when this Darius may have been made governor. Thus, the captivity had been 40 years and perhaps at this time Daniel understood there would be 30 more years to the return.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle in Cyrus' time, Cyrus means "like the sun".
The son of Darius II was also Cyrus. So Daniel may have lived several more years to this Cyrus the younger.
Isaiah 41:25 "I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay."
Isaiah 45:5 "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else."
Perhaps the sun rose in the west and set in the east when Cyrus was raised, and thus the meaning of the name Cyrus means the sun.
"The ancient Greek historians Ctesias and Plutarch stated that Cyrus was named from the Sun (Kuros) interpreted meaning "like the sun" Wikipedia
Daniel, born about 630 BC, led into captivity about 610 BC.
Daniel 10:1 "In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."
This "four and twentieth day of the first month" may be half an orbit before the eclipse record of day 30 of cycle, the new moon, July 18, 549 BC which was no solar eclipse. Then half an orbit before the sun miracle is 183 days. This is because earth's nearest approach to the sun was about the winter solstice about December 25 in 549 BC - thus both halves of orbit should be an equal 183 days.
The main factor was the sun moving to the other side of earth three months before the equinox means the half orbit should be 183 days. Thus, half an orbit before the sun miracle of July 18, 549 BC on day 30 of cycle in the seventh Chinese month, is January 19, 549 BC the 24th day of the first lunar month of the year. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle this day Daniel met with Jesus, perhaps January 19, 549 BC.
Thus, 549 BC would be the third year of Cyrus. Then his first year would be 551 BC - 32 years to 519 BC and Cambyses first year. Then 9 years to Darius I in 509 BC.
The reign of Cyrus must be brought 13 years more recent to his death in 518 BC. Thus 32 years of his reign from 551 BC = the solar eclipse record that does not match a solar eclipse in the Chinese Classics in 552 BC that could be a sun miracle and an omen for Cyrus. Darius reigned from 509 BC not from 522 BC.
Then likewise 32 years of Darius to Xerxes in 477 BC.
The Darius the Mede in Daniel could not be the same person as Darius the King of Persia in Ezra. Cyrus in the Bible must be the Cyrus the Great. In 515 BC at the beginning of Cambyses' reign, when he conquered Egypt a comet appeared. Thus, Cyrus gave the commandment to build the temple at Jerusalem a few years earlier about 521 BC. Thus, Cyrus reigned 32 years from 551 BC to 519 BC. Then construction of the temple ceased about 519 BC.
"In the thirty-second year (516 BC), a comet appeared."

In 516 BC in China: "32nd year of Duke Jing of Qi, a broom star appeared."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, p.111
The 70 years of Israel's captivity may have been from 591 BC to 521 BC. 509 BC may have been the first year of Darius the king of Persia. Cyrus the Great must have wrote the decree of the return of the Jews, after 70 years of captivity, 591 BC - 521 BC. Thus, the second temple period began in 521 BC.
They left off building the temple after laying the foundation in 521 BC for fifteen years to 507 BC and to 504 BC when the second temple was finished on February 10, 504 BC. Darius reigned 31 years from 509 BC to 478 BC / 477 BC.
Ctesias, who served in the Persian court of Artexerxes Mnemon, 404 BC - 359 BC, 17 years and thoroughly researched the Persian Archives stated Darius reigned 31 years. Herodotus stated Darius reigned 36 years.
However, Herodotus never set foot in Persia.
Ezra 5:24 "Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
The second year of Darius must be 507 BC. Then his sixth year would be 504 BC. Then counting 49 year cycles from 1242 BC to this 507 BC when the work on the second temple resumed.
Haggai 1:1 "In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,"
This should be the first day of the sixth lunar month, the first day of the week, Sunday, August 4, 7 BC.
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
This should be Sunday September 22, 7 BC. The 17th day would have been September 18, 507 BC = September 13, 7 BC when Jesus may have been born. The equinox was 5 days later September 27 in 507 BC, being September 22 in 7 BC.
Ezra 6:15 "And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
Ezra 6:19 "And the children of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month."
One year after this 3rd of Adar, February 10, 504 BC, was 14 of Adar, February 10, 503 BC. Possibly the Passover was celebrated one year after the completion of the temple, and the sun returned and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Thus, the seventh year = one year after the sixth year. Although the Passover can only be the next month, Friday, March 10, 503 BC.
Haggai 1:1 "In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,"
Haggai 2:1 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
Haggai 2:10 "In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
The first day of the sixth month may be Sunday, August 4, 507 BC in Darius' second year. Then the 21st of the seventh month may be Sunday, September 22, 507 BC. Then the 24th day of the ninth month be Sunday, November 24, 507 BC.
In 532 BC, "13th year of King Jing of Zhou, in spring. A star emerged in Wunu."
East Asian Archaeology, p.129.
King Jing's first year was the spring of 543 BC. If there was a sun miracle in 545 BC = 38 years to 507 BC and the foundation of the temple was laid in the second year of Darius, this 545 BC could be an omen the Chinese took to kill their emperor.
1 Corinthians 3:11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Isaiah 41:25 "I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay."
Job 38:12 "Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment."
Thus, the connection with the rising of the sun and the treading of the clay.
Thus, a sudden sunrise in the east when Cyrus was made emperor. Thus, 45 years in reverse from 507 BC; 500 years before Jesus' birth. The sudden sunrise in the east may be like the resurrection morning, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
70 years after Jeremiah warned of the captivity, Jeremiah 26:1. Cyrus the Great's first year was not 550 BC; but 13 years more recent, his reign from 537 BC to 518 BC.
Cambyses I reigned 21 years from about 567 BC to 546 BC.
There possibly was a solar eclipses recorded in China in 549 BC that was not visible in China for July 18, 549 BC.
Thus, possibly there was a sun miracle at the beginning of Cyrus' reign over Persia, not 559 BC but from 547 BC. Cyrus means the Sun. In 524 BC five Chinese texts report a sparkling star in winter in Scorpius which then moved to the Milky Way.
The dragon was bright, and if so many Chinese recorded this sparkling star, it may have been rather the glory of God during Cyrus' reign. Darius reigned from 509 BC not 522 BC. So Cyrus ruled from 550 BC to 520 BC. Thus, in 522 BC = 550 years to Jesus speaking in Luke 4, October 9, 29 AD, after 70 years of captivity from 591 BC to 522 BC when Cyrus proclaimed the temple of Jerusalem should be built.
II Chronicles 36:22 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
36:23 Thus, saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up."
Jeremiah 1:1 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,"
Ezra 1:2 "Thus, saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
There was a total solar eclipse in China April 18, 526 BC, day 54 of cycle 60. There was a full moon, April 1, 524 BC, day 54 of cycle 60. Thus, if the sun was darkened at noon on the Passover, as God darkened the sun when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD, this solar eclipse record may be from April 1, 524 BC. Year of cycle is 11 from 2636 BC should be 525 BC or 524 BC.
"Duke Hsuan, 8th year, 7th month, day chia-tzu. The Sun was eclipsed and it was total."
Refers to a total solar eclipse of 20 September 601 BC.
From: Ch'un-ch'iu, book VII (Chinese).
The path of totality went through China and Europe, the sun was may have been 100% obscured by the moon when recorded from China according to the new eclipse maps by NASA for 2007. This was about the time of the captivity. However this eclipse record was for day 11 of cycle 60, when the eclipse took place on day 60 of cycle 60. Day 11 would be the Day of Atonement in Israel, the 10th day of the seventh Hebrew lunar month October 1, 601 BC.
This was about the time Jehoiakim was taken into Babylon. Josiah began his reign in 645 BC when he was 8. So in 614 BC he would be 39, the age of Jesus when he was crucified.
2 Kings 23:23 "But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this Passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem."
Josiah's last year would be 613 BC.
"A broom star entered Pei Tou, the Big Dipper, during the month of 612 BC.
Comet Halley back from its appearance in 12 BC are 8 X 75 year orbits to 612 BC.
August 4 - September 2. The Ch'un Ch'ui says:
"Then as a broom sweeps away what is old to give place to something new, a comet is supposed to presage changes." James Legge says this was in 611 BC, Williams and Wen Shion Tsu say this was 610 BC."
Cometography: a catalog of comets By Gary W. Kronk, p.1.
This comet may rather be the dragon, the glory of God. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle at this Passover in 611 BC in March 4 or the first of Nisan February 19 then a sun miracle and this "comet" in September 1 on the day of Atonement in 611 BC.
2 Kings 24:1 "In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him."
This third year may be 611 BC.
Or this may be a sign in 613 BC when Pharaoh Necho went to war against Josiah, and Josiah was killed. Josiah was 39 years old, he reigned 31 years from his 8th year = Jesus' life of 38 and a half years.
Jeremiah 36:9 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem."
The fifth year of Jehoiakim should be 607 BC. And the fast of Yom Kippur the tenth day of the seventh month, September 8, 607 BC. And the seventeenth day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC be Jesus' birth = 600 years - Monday, September 15, 607 BC.
"The original discovery (of the cause of eclipses) was made in Greece by Thales of Miletus, who in the fourth year of the 48th Olympiad (585 BC/584 BC) foretold the eclipse of the Sun that occurred in the reign of Alyattes, in the 170th year after the foundation of Rome (584/3 BC)" The solar eclipse of 585 BC on the new moon is not the same day the sun fell from the sky on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month on Jerusalem.
This eclipse record may describe an eclipse but not the fall of Jerusalem. Ahaz may have died in 717 BC. The destruction of Jerusalem in 591 BC. Darius' first year in 509 BC. The temple was finished in Darius' sixth year 504 BC. Darius reigned at least 31 years to 479 BC. 591 BC may have been the year Jerusalem and the temple at Jerusalem were completely destroyed.
This record of an eclipse may rather be a record of a sun miracle on Saturday September 7, 591 BC, rather than an eclipse May 28, 585 BC that does not really work with the lunar day 7 when eclipses only occur on the lunar day 29.
"In his 26th year, an azure rainbow was seen in Tsin." 494 BC.
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.66.
You can see the colour of emerald = azure:
This green rainbow was seen in 493 BC; the emperor was King Jing who reigned from 518 BC to 483 BC. The Milky Way was not visible in China in King Jing's 14th year from 518 BC, 505 BC, - the eclipse record in the 15th year was rather in year 33 of cycle 60 and not year 32 of cycle 60, day 48 February 10, 504 BC - when the temple was finished on the third day of Adar.
King Wan had the bright appointment of Heaven in 1195 BC, 1193 BC was the 49 year jubile. 493 BC was 700 years later.
1.5 X 365 = 547 days. 547 days back from February 10, 504 BC = August 11, 506 BC = the 17th day of the 7th month. 490 days back from February 10, 504 BC = October 8 = the 17th day of the 7th month. The seventh lunar month can be from August to October.
This 504 BC was during Darius' reign, in his 6th year from 509 BC.
In King Darius' 20th year Ptolemy reported there was a lunar eclipse perhaps 490 BC. Darius reigned 31 years from 509 BC to 478 BC when there was an eclipse in his 31st year. There was a sun miracle recorded in China in 480 BC at the time Darius was in the battle of Marathon.
In Darius' 20th year from 509 BC, a lunar eclipse October 19, 491 BC:
Or, more accurately, in Darius' 20th year from 509 BC a lunar eclipse October 8, 490 BC:
"The tale of the messenger Pheidippides running 25 miles to Athens to deliver the news of the Persian defeat inspired the creation of the modern marathon."
Wikipedia
There could have been a sun miracle that day the Greeks won the battle. Not September 12, 490 BC but September 12, 482 BC.
Thus, the battle of Marathon on September 12, 482 BC, 8 years more recent than September 12, 490 BC.
Here you can see a rainbow with dragon heads at either end. Then below a dragon drinking. The dragon rainbow may be this green rainbow, perhaps the rainbow around God's throne. The full oracle bone is below:
Dragon Drinks, whole oracle bone
The dragon may be an Ogopogo drinking the Yellow River and the Jordan River.
"The king inspected the bone and said: "A disaster will happen." Eight days later, on the day gengxu (47), clouds came from the east, and the sky became overcast. As the sun was setting, a dragon in the shape of a rainbow appeared in the north, and drank from the Yellow River."
The Chinese Language, Its History and Current Usage, P.80.
- you can see the dragon/rainbow in the center and the dragon drinking. The dragon's rainbow is different than the character for rainbow, with a dragon head at each end. The dragon's light must have been brighter than the setting sun - or the sun sank well below the horizon, to cause an azure emerald green dragon rainbow.
Above the rainbow the character looks like a foot getting out of a pit and it means to come out/appear. A lunar eclipse may look like a foot coming out of the moon. Thus, the dragon came out and appeared in the shape of a rainbow.
That is, when the dragon appeared in China he was very bright - so bright you could not look at it! So when they saw him through the clouds they would see a glowing rainbow around him and say that was the dragon! Often just before the dragon appeared clouds came. Yet they could see the dragon through the clouds because he was so bright. The sun may have set in the east.
"On day xinhai [48]; we should perform a gao reporting rite about the Dragon to Fu Ding using one ox."
Heji, 32679
This may be the day after they saw the dragon on day 47. This may be to ancestor Wu Ding, now Fu Ding ancestor. Moreover, The King may be King Wu Yi rather than Wuding. Also the dragon appearing in the north. Then this may be the reason Wu Yi left Anyang (Yin) for a place north of the Ho, the Yellow River. See Woo-Yih
Job 40:23 "Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth."
There was a lunar eclipse day 47of cycle 60, March 18, 1345 BC during King Wuding's reign. Earth's shadow on the moon may have looked like a foot stepping out of a pit.
There may have been a sun miracle one year earlier on day 42:
Divined on day yisi 42: "In performing the you-ritual we should perhaps invoke ancestor Xiao Yi. Use this one. The Sun has a blemish. We should report it in the evening to ancestor Shang Jia using nine oxen."
Heji, 33696
Wuding began his reign in 1393 BC = jin-yin = 30 of cycle 60. The second last line of record, "in his 50th year he lead an expedition". 50th from 1393 BC = 1344 BC.
The next line must be a mistake:
"In his 9th year he died."
There must be a sun miracle in this 50th year in 1344 BC for King Wuding to begin his reign count over, to count 9 more years.
Likewise, There was a sun miracle in king Wan's 45th year, from which he obtained the bright appointment from heaven also for 9 years.
In Te-sin's 32nd year, from 1126 BC = 1194 BC, it was recorded:
"There was a conjunction of the five planets in Fang. A red crow lighted on the altar to the spirits in the land of Chow."
The Chinese Classics, The Bamboo Books, p.140
Likewise the Chinese emperor following the sun rising in the west to the meridian on Hanukkah, December 13, 164 BC, began his reign of 17 years, to be recounted to year one in 164 BC:
Thus, his first year in 181 BC would be about the first year of Perseus, king of Macedon, in 179 BC, and Perseus was over thrown in this 168 BC.
There was a solar eclipse March 4, 181 BC, that may have been the omen for China to choose this new emperor:
"The sun was eclipsed and it became dark in the daytime. The Empress Dowager was upset by it and her heart was ill at ease. Turning to those around her she said, "This is on my account." She later died. Thus, the next emperor Wen began to rule in this 181 BC.
"Empress Lu of Han, seventh year, first month, day jichou (26), the last day of the month, There was an eclipse of the sun; it was total; at 9 du in YINGSHI [LM 13.]"
[Han shu . wuxing zhi] ch. 27.
[Shiji . Lu taihou ben ji] ch.9.
From the Exodus, March 30, 1281 BC are 1100 years to this March 4, 181 BC.
This was similar to the experience of Chang E, the wife of emperor Yao's governor, at the time of Yao's long day. She too died and went to the moon. Likely China saw the other side of the moon, the rough side, and stated Chang E went to the moon.
"This last image is borrowed from an ancient myth about the drug of immortality. The actors are the Queen Mother of the West, who knew the secret of where the drug of immortality grew; Archer Yi, who was fond of the drug; and his wife Heng O, who stole the drug from her husband and fled to the moon, leaving Yi in a state of dejection and dispair."
Huai Nan Tzup.189.
"In the 17th year (Emperor Wen), 164 BC, a jade cup was obtained and it was carved with the characters "The Ruler of Men will live a long life." At this the Son of Heaven for the first time changed the reign year count to the first year."
The Grand Scribes Records, volume II, p.176.
Rameses II fought and won against the Syrians in what would become Israel in his 9th and 10th year = 1345 BC. Ra means sun. Rameses II could use a sun miracle at the time as an omen for his victory.
There was also an eclipse recorded at the founding of Rome in spring 753 BC, when there was no eclipse that year. 752 BC was the 49th year jubile from 1241 BC. This event may be rather a sun miracle:
Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
Uzziah must have died about 750 BC. This 750 BC was "two years before the earthquake". Thus, the sun miracle whereupon Rome was founded may have been a sun miracle to mark the death of King Uzziah.
Perhaps Uzziah died in 751 BC = the 49 year jubile from Adam in 4672 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, Isaiah 6 describes the jubile of Jesus reading those verses on the jubile, the 50 year jubile, about September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Isaiah 6:8 "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,"
Jesus spoke to Isaiah, now Jesus is repeating the same words he spoke to Isaiah. "Who shall go for us?" "Us" is God and Jesus.
Matthew 13:14 "And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
Then 49 years later, on the 49 year jubile on the full moon = Passover, Saturday, March 30, 703 BC and in Isaiah 38, the sun move from the sunset in the west to set in the east, the sun dial's shadow retreat ten hours = 180 degrees at the Passover, like the Passover when Jesus was crucified = this same 49 jubile and = Hezekiah at the same age as Jesus, 25 years plus 14 years = 38 years old.
Then likewise, the Sabbath after Jesus was crucified the sun may have rose from the west and set in the east, only to suddenly rise in the east on the resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
Isaiah may be the son of Amos, and not Amoz, because Jeroboam was contemporary with Azariah not Uzziah.
Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
Jesus' ministry from September 29 AD to begin the 50th year of the jubile to the Passover April 31 AD; then two years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
The significance of the earthquake was Jesus' resurrection.
2 Kings 15:1 "In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign."
Thus, the 41 years of Jeroboam ended in the 14th year of Azariah. Azariah reigned 38 years to Uzziah. Isaiah could be the son of the prophet Amos because Amos lived a generation before.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth on the clear day:"
Although, the prophesy may be of the captivity of Jerusalem, September 7, 591 BC = the 7th day of the lunar month when there cannot be a solar eclipse, and the 40th day of cycle 60 in China in autumn of 591 BC, that cannot be the date of a solar eclipse either.
"In (King King's) 14th year (505 BC) the milky way was not visible in the sky."
This verse in Nehemiah for 458 BC for the building of the wall of Jerusalem may apply also the building of the second temple in 505 BC. There may have been light for the Israelites to work in the night in 505 BC, the 14th year of King Jing when the milky way was not visible.
We do not see the milky way today because of light pollution. At that time there was absolutely no light pollution and the milky way should have been very visible.
Nehemiah 4:21 "So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared."
King Jing's first year 518 BC in Jin-woo, 19th of cycle; - The eclipse record for his 15th year, sin hai day 48 February 16, 505 BC may be sin hai day 48 February 10, 504 BC, the third day of the lunar month Adar in Israel when the temple was finished.
Thus, the 15th year from 518 BC be rather a sun miracle on February 10, 504 BC and not be an eclipse. The exact first year of King Jing was 518 BC and the exact 15th year is 504 BC not the solar eclipse of 505 BC.
The sixth year of Darius may be 504 BC when the temple was finished on the third of Adar, after a 15 year lapse, see Zechariah 14:5-9. The first year, of the fifty years to the jubile in the fiftieth year, was counted from 521 BC.
And the prophesies of eating of that which groweth of itself the second and third years must mean a jubile year 50th in August/September 592 BC to September 591 BC. Then the assurance that God would not take them into captivity yet, in 701 BC in the third fallow year from year 49 in 703 BC. Jesus' crucifixion was in April 3, 33 AD in the 49th year counting from this 49 year cycle.
Thus, Hezekiah may have been a type of Jesus to die in the 49th cycle when he was 38 years old. Thus, the year of Jesus' resurrection was also the jubile of the following 50th year that September 33 AD. There was a 49 year cycle and a 50 year cycle from Joshua's first year crossing the Jordan to Canaan in 1241 BC.
The Sabbath year 49 cycle was in 703 BC, jubile in 702 BC and sowing in 701 BC and perhaps Hezekiah's Sign in 703 BC in Hezekiah's 14th year from 717 BC. When Jesus came with the gospel it was the 49th and 50th year of no sowing also. Only the people ate in the third year of the land in 31 AD.
The 49 Sabbath fallow year cycle also fell on the resurrection year, to begin the other 49 year jubile, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD and Pentecost, Sunday, May 25, 33 AD when they ate of the first crop of Barley when the Holy Ghost was given.
535 BC was supposed to be when the second temple began to be built. Only, this must be 13 years more recent, and be 522 BC = 550 years to Jesus' ministry. Then the temple was left off building for 15 years to 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth and a 49 year jubile to his sacrifice.
There was a tunnel around the perimeter of the wall of the temple for drainage just discovered in 2011.
Thus, there was a lot of work even to lay the foundation. It is commonly believed the temple was finished about 15 years after building of the temple began in 521 BC = the end of the 70 year captivity from 591 BC.
Thus, 15 years after 521 BC is the second year of Darius in 507 BC when the foundation of the temple was laid - and was finished on the third of Adar in February 10, 504 BC.
Thus, the second temple was finished in 504 BC and not 515 BC.
Thus, the proclamation of Cyrus to build Jerusalem may have been made in about 523 BC, and the return and building begun on the temple in 521 BC after the 70 years of Captivity.
The 25th year of King Jing was recorded a solar eclipse on day 17 of cycle 60, July 22, 495 BC. The Azure rainbow seen in China in 494 BC.
The first year of King Jing is in 518 BC in the Chinese Classics with the solar eclipse record, in his 15th year, year 33 of cycle 60, was 504 BC February 10. The temple may have been finished that day the 3rd day of Adar. Therefore, the Milky Way may not have been visible in his 14th year, the year, 505 BC, because God gave the Israelites light to build during the night.
The solar eclipse record for day 32 of cycle 60, the new moon April 9, 518 BC was very visible in China.
Solar eclipse dates on the same day of 48 of cycle 60. So what was recorded, at least for February 10, 504 BC, was not a solar eclipse but a sun miracle on the same day 48 of cycle 60.
518 BC was about the time when the construction of the Second Temple was stopped.
If the accepted chronology is King Jing's first year 518 BC, then this eclipse record for February 16, 505 BC could actually be a sun miracle Thursday February 10, 504 BC. Darius' sixth year 504 BC, his first year 509 BC, his 20th year 490 BC to his 31st year at the battle of Marathon in 480 BC. Then the battle of Salamis may have been in 472 BC.
Nevertheless, Xerxes arrived in Greece in April, when the Greeks normally would have their Olympics, not 480 BC, but 8 years more recent, in 472 BC.
The battle of Salamis was in September = the jubile on Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement = a sun miracle pointing to Jesus.
From 472 BC is the 50 year jubile to Jesus' ministry September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
There was no solar eclipse visible from Greece in 472 BC or any year two or three years previous, or two or three years later than 472 BC.
During the battle of Salamis a "horn shaped object" was said to have flown over during the battle of Salamis. This may have been a comet or meteorite. Or this event may be part of a sun miracle.
"The sun was darkened in the heavens" both in the spring at the Passover, and six months later in the fall at the last day of the feast of Tabernacles, at the battle of Salamis. The sun moved in the spring to the other side of the earth, and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun, means the sun may be moved back six months later at the half orbit point, and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
Perhaps this was the same day Esther was made queen with Xerxes in the tenth month of Tabet. Then Xerxes gave gifts like it was for the jubile at that time. There may have been a sun miracle in 480 BC, at the battle of Marathon in 480 BC. The battle of Salamis is commonly, and mistakenly, dated 480 BC and the battle of Marathon 490 BC.
The reverse orbit in Autumn of 480 BC indicated by the movement of Mars in China may have started with the sun falling from the sky in the midst of the battle of Marathon. The battle of Marathon probably was in September of 480 BC and the sun miracle of September 472 BC be in Xerxes' fifth year from 477 BC. Xerxes first year was October, and the tenth month Tabet.
Nevertheless, Xerxes' seventh year from 478 BC should be in 472 BC = 500 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 on the jubile Yom Kippur, October 7, 29 AD.
Xerxes' first year should be October of 477 BC or 478 BC. His father Darius I ruled from July of 509 BC - 31 years = 478 BC, according to Ctesias.
The record states this omen was on the year of the Olympiad. The Olympiad was every four years from 776 BC. So if the mistaken eclipse is 480 BC, then 2 X 4 years later, 472 BC, is the actual date of Salamis, the seventh year of Xerxes from 478 BC.
There was an eclipse recorded in 480 BC.
The solar eclipse was not total but annular, and the path of "totality" was way south of Egypt. The sky does not grow noticeably dark unless there is an almost total solar eclipse. 480 BC is an Olympiad, but the battle of Salamis was two Olympiads later in 472 BC. This solar eclipse for October 2, 480 BC, is not the battle of Salamis in 472 BC:
A sun miracle in spring may be the Passover in Israel. The sun may be darkened at noon in Israel on the Passover like it would be when Jesus was on the cross, April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, not only would the sun be darkened like an eclipse, it would be darkened and suddenly set in the east or west. Thus, the sun would "disappear" at the battle of Salamis on the last day of the feast of tabernacles September 27, 472 BC. Likewise in the spring of 472 BC when Xerxes departed from Susa: "for the sun disappeared in a cloudless and clear sky, and day became night." at the Passover Friday, March 27, 472 BC.
472 BC was the 50th year jubile, the first jubile from the return of the captivity in 521 BC. Thus, a sun miracle in 472 BC may be expected = 500 years to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
There was a total eclipse October 2, 480 BC. However, there was no spring eclipse that year in Egypt. Therefore the year 480 BC for the battle of Salamis is wrong, and the eclipses are sun miracles.
Xerxes could have come to rule in 478 BC / 477 BC and the battle of Salamis be the seventh year, in September 27, 472 BC.
"According to Herodotus there was an eclipse of the sun just as the army was leaving Sardis, which the Magi interpreted as that the Persian army (the moon) was about to overwhelm the Greeks (the sun)..the fact there was no solar eclipse in this vicinity at any time during 480 BC (though there had been one at Sardis a year earlier) suggests that the story was Herodotus' invention or at least that the sequel is to be placed much earlier."
Xerxes, a Persian Life, p.238.
Then with no solar eclipse records that match, both these records of darkness six months apart must have been sun miracles. The darkness at the battle of Salamis be a sun miralce that was taken as the omen to let the Persians go. There were no total solar eclipses.
Dates do not match, the chronology must be brought forward 8 years.
This affirms Xerxes' 20th year, from 477 BC, in 458 BC when he was still alive in his 20th year, or from 478 BC into his 21st year, 458 BC.
Then the battle of Marathon be in 480 BC. The battle of Salamis be September 27, 472 BC, not far from Marathon.
Darius I reigned 31 years. Thus, perhaps from July 509 BC to October 478 BC. The second temple may have been started in 521 BC, 70 years after it had been destroyed. Then was left from building for 15 years. Then the temple may have been finished on February 11, 504 BC - the Friday before the Sabbath. There was an eclipse recorded that day in China which could only be a sun miracle.
"In (King King's) 14th year from 518 BC (possibly 504 BC and not 505 BC) the Milky Way was not visible in the sky."
The first Temple at Jerusalem was building, from 1041 BC = 240 years, not 480 years, from the Exodus 1281 BC.
1 Kings 7:1 "But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."
1 Kings 6:37 "In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
From the foundation of the temple being laid in 1041 BC are 534 years to 507 BC when the foundation of the second temple was laid. From 507 BC to the beginning of Jesus' ministry September 29 AD are also 535 years.
The twilight in Zechariah 14 speaks of God's Spirit in the temple. Jesus was in the temple August 16, 32 AD, on the last great day of the feast of tabernacles when was twilight.
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
Then Xerxes may have reigned from 477 BC and his twentieth year when the walls of Jerusalam were built be in 458 BC, which is 490 years from Jesus' crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD.
A sun miracle could be taken as an omen for a new leader or an omen to go to battle. Xerxes was moved to attack Greece, officially dated in 480 BC. The Battle of Salamis was September 27, 472 BC.
King Tabnit reigned from 470 BC to 465 BC. Because Tetramnestos named in the battle of Salamis means "four times memorable" and may be Tabnit "model, image". If Daniel's 490 years from the 20th year, in Nehemiah, in Shushan count to Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD, then the first year of Xerxes must have been in 478 BC.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Seven weeks can mean again seventy weeks. "weeks" seven days or seven years, thus 70 X 7 = 490 years or days. Nehemiah began and finished the wall around Jerusalem in the 20th year in Shushan. Which then must be 458 BC. This could make all dates 7 years more recent than the commonly accepted chronology.
The 20th year may have counted from 477 BC = 458 BC.
The Bible text in Nehemiah states the wall of Jerusalem was finished in the 20th year at Shushan. And there is some evidence for 478 BC being Xerxes' first year. Then his third year would be 476 BC when he had the 180 day feast. There were lunar eclipses 180 days apart and both visible in Persia on February 6, 477 BC and August 1, 477 BC. There could have been sun miracles on those dates. Then Xerxes' seventh year would be the year before the jubile in 472 BC when possessions were to be restored.
Esther appeared before Xerxes in the seventh year perhaps the jubile year of 472 BC. Then there may have been a sun miracle one year before Esther was made queen, then six months of myrrh, sun miracles, then six months of sweet odors and the sun returned in Tebet.
The 12th year 12th month may have been February 466 BC. If the months were left to fall back, the lunar eclipse December 26, 466 BC could be the 14th of Adar the 12th month and the 12th year of Xerxes. This could be the fourth year of Yuang when the sun reversed three solar mansions when it was setting for Lu Yang in China.
There are exactly 490 days from the dedication of the temple in the 25th day of Kislew to the second Passover 490 days later no matter what year. From November 29, 31 AD, the 25th day of Kislew, to April 3, 33 AD when Jesus was crucified are exactly 490 days.
John 10:22 "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
I Maccabee 4:52 "Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month of Kislew (December), in the hundred forty and eighth year (Saturday, December 12, 164 BC), they rose up in the morning, and offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made."
Perhaps the eight nights of Hanukkah were one long night that lasted 8 nights. Then the sun retreated from the noon position in Israel to the morning position in China and stood still in the morning position in China for 8 X 12 hours. Then that long night in Israel would last 8 X 12 hours, 96 hours. Then the other three sun miracles that year would be the sun travelling 180° west, or -12 hours. 9 X 12 - 3 X 12 = 60 hours.
Then there had to have been a reverse orbit just previous that had three + 12 hour days and one -12 hour day. So the two reverse orbits long days would add up to 96 hours or 2 X 48 hours. Thus, the -48 hour earth was sped up that year would be countered by +48 hours in net time of long day/night.
The feast for 180 days in Esther 1:4 may have symbolised the 180 degrees or 180 days between two sun miracles, even to lunar eclipses timed to appear as eclipses. 476 BC could be the third year in Shushan. Vashti may have passed the first six months of purification, then the next 180 days of purification to the feast. Vashti and Esther are different people. The queen Astin may be Vashti and the queen Amestris may be Esther. Thus, Astin and Amestris different people with the same name Astin. The 12th year of Xerxes the month of Adar could be the autumn of 465 BC when the sun retreated three solar mansions for Lu Yang = Luh-ch'ing.
Esther 2:16 "So Esther was taken unto king Ahasueus into his house royal in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign."
The keeping of the 50 year jubile must have counted from the first year vhe foundation of the temple was laid in 520 BC. The fall of Jerusalem, if in 591 BC would be September 7, 591 BC, the seventh day of the fifth lunar month as the Bible states, rather than the solar eclipse in May 28, 585 BC. The Chinese eclipse for 591 BC was in the sixth month from February on the 40th day.
Thus, the Chinese 40th day in the sixth month is September 7, 591 BC. There can be no solar eclipse on the seventh day of the lunar month. Then the captivity counted from 585 BC is suspect. The solar eclipse May 28, 585 BC cannot be the sun darkening when Jerusalem was taken. These are totally different events. The sun was darkened for three hours when Jesus was on the cross.
The sun must have been darkened in the same way when Jerusalem was taken. A sun miracle, not an eclipse. On the seventh day of the lunar month, not the first. The sun may have been moved around the earth at the speed of light, thus the sun would be darkened. Then the sun would give no light to earth - time is standing still at the sun - and take one hour to complete a circuit around the earth.
Thus, the September 7, 591 BC solar eclipse in China on day 40 may have counted from the previous lunar month. 30 days plus the 9th day plus one day adjustment to the Hebrew lunar month = 40 days. Moreover, the 30th year at the beginning of Ezekiel must be the 30th year of 50 of the jubile and be 610 BC. Then the reigns of the kings of Judah from then come to 591 BC as described in Ezekiel.
Then the eclipse Thales predicted may be the same event in Israel and rather be September 7, 591 BC at the battle of Halys. Then the May 28, 585 BC eclipse may not have been recorded and the September 7, 591 BC one hour darkness very much more likely recorded as Thale's eclipse. Nevertheless, the May 28, 585 BC total eclipse in the afternoon does match the description at the battle of Halys.
However, the total eclipse barely reaches Turkey in NASA's eclipse canon. Then, possibly, even probably, the Thales eclipse at the Battle of Halys was the sun miracle of September 7, 591 BC and the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC was not recorded.
Ezekiel 29:1 "In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
29:2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
29:3 Speak, and say, Thus, saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself."
This dragon may be the same dinosaur as Ogopogo.
Genesis 1:20 "And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
whales = dragon. 350 million years ago a crocodile creature from the ocean became a land creature from who mammals and people were descended. In an interesting way Ogopogo = dragon evolved to walk on land and fly from the same 360 million years ago.
Thus, all of Genesis is very accurate.

Ezekiel 29:11 "No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years."
Ezekiel 29:17 "And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army."
Ezekiel 30:1 "The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
30:2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus, saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
30:3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
30:4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down."
Ezekiel 32:7 "And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
32:8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD."
"This city, Cala - Nimrud, was beseiged by the King of the Persians at the time, 400 BC corrected 390 BC, when the Persians were taking over the empire from the Medes, but he could not devise a method of capturing it; however, Helios (the sun) covered it with a cloud and obliterated its features from sight until the people left it, and this is how it was captured."
The Landmark, Xenophon's Anabasis. 3.4.8 p.98.
The 50th year = the destruction of Jerusalem. The 10th year = 50 more years plus 10 years = Friday December 8, 531 BC (Like Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC) or Sunday January 7, 530 BC.
Here are three new stars, perhaps supernovae. Note the new star appeared in Yao's 70th year when also there was a sun miracle and phoenixes:
"In his (emperor Yao) 42nd year (2274 BC) a brilliant star appeared in Yih (? Crater)"
The Chinese Classics, The reigns of Yaou and Shun, p.112
"When the emperor (Yao) had been on the throne 70 years (2245 BC), a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih and phoenixes appeared.."
The Chinese Classics, p.113
King King, "His first year was ting-sze (54th of cycle 60 = 543 BC) In his 13th year (531 BC), in the spring, a star issued from the constellation Woo-neu (Note "the widow" four stars, about the middle of Capricorn"). In the 10th month, duke P'ing of Tsin died."
The Chinese Classics, the Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.165
The sun normally is in Capricorn in the tenth month of December (December is Latin for ten). Thus, Capricorn is not visible when the sun is in Capricorn. Thus, the sun should be on the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit for this new star in Capricorn to be visible. If the widow constellation was connected to sun miracles, it could mean that the emperor was killed, therefore his wife became a widow.
From 543 BC his 13th year = 531 BC = year 10 of Ezekiel = the same 10th month the duke P'ing of Tsin died, perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle.
Ezekiel 29:12 "And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
29:13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:"
40 years from 531 BC, the 10th year of cycle 50 from 1241 BC = the 50th year of cycle 50, 491 BC. Nevertheless, the cycle of 50 was recalculated from the end of the 70 years of captivity in 521 BC.
Pharaoh Amasis II reigned from 570 BC to 526 BC when the Persians took Egypt. Thus, the destruction of Egypt soon after this 530 BC, from which Egypt never fully recovered.
The 27th year from 541 BC = 514 BC = the death of Cyrus, when Cambyses II began to rule, who invaded Egypt.
Pharaoh Amassis died in this 514 BC, and not in 526 BC.
Cyrus must have died by 517 BC, there must be an adjustment of three years. That is, Cambyses waged this battle three years after Cyrus died.
Cyrus granted the construction of the temple of Jerusalem about 521 BC. Construction was stopped about this 518 BC when Cyrus died, to be resumed in 507 BC = 500 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Then Darius I ruled 32 years from 509 BC to 477 BC.
The context speaks years from the captivity of Jehoiachin, 11 years before Zedekiah was captured and Jerusalem fell. Jerusalem did fall on the seventh day of the seventh month. However, Egypt did not fall until after the death of Amasis II in 526 BC.
The Egyptian Sothis calendar was based on a 365 day year with no February 29 leap year. The first day of the Sothis cycle was the first appearing of the star Sirius at 4 AM which almost always was July 16. This was the product of precession and this Sothis calendar. So July 16, 4197 BC would be the first day. Then 365 X 4 years later, 1460 years later, the cycle would begin again July 16, 2737 BC.
There were five days after 360 days that were the Dog days of Sothis. Thus, the calendar had backed up to the first of the five days holiday July 21, 2757 BC in 1440 years.
The Egyptian calendar may have originally been 12 base = duodecimal. Thus, 1440 years were simply 100 duodecimal times ten = 12 X 12 X 10. If we compute the missing minutes of half a reverse orbit we get 24 hours or 1440 minutes.
If one half reverse orbit is 180 days, then (365.25/180) X 24 X 60 = 1460 minutes. The same amount of minutes as there are years in a sothis cycle. The first half reverse orbit must have 1420 minutes or 23 hours 40 minutes. The second half reverse orbit of 180 days must have 24 hours 20 minutes of sped up orbit. The Missing Day Story calculations are similar. The first half orbit of 188 days; (365.24/188) X 24 X 60 = 1400 minutes = 23 hours 20 minutes.
Then there are 40 minutes missing from 24 hours to Joshua's Long Day. The second half reverse orbit of 177.5 days; (365.2422/175.5) X 24 X 60 = 1481 minutes, 24 hours 41 minutes. 1400 minutes plus 1480 minutes = 2881 minutes = 2880/60 = 48 hours. Thus, there are two days of 48 hours less that reverse orbit year. 48 hours missing time. 23 hours 20 minutes missing time from the first half orbit. This leaves the 40 minutes missing time in the missing day story.
Then 24 hours 40 minutes missing time in the second half reverse orbit. Thus, there would be 365 days instead of 367 days in a reverse orbit year leaving no evidence.
This sothis cycle was from 2741 BC - 1460 years to 1281 BC. Or from July 16, 2737 BC to July 17, 1281 BC = 1456 years because the cycle backed up to the appearing of Sirius one day earlier, July 17 instead of July 16.
Sirius does not first appear early in the morning on the exact same date every year. Sirius is a binary star with an elliptical orbit of 15 arc seconds, covering a 20 earth to sun distance, taking 50.9 years to complete. Sirius while the brightest star in the sky - see image - is the less massive as its elusive companion so it moves the most.
So, 25 years later Sirius would first appear a day before or after it had appeared 25 years previous, July 16 or 17. The 15 second difference can mean the difference of a day. Earth moves 4 minutes worth a day.
The new Sothis cycle began July 17 1281 BC - that year my calculations show Sirius appeared later, thus July 17 as expected. Thus, no affect on this important date.
However, Sirius's elliptical orbit of 15 arc seconds down and 15 arc seconds east can make the difference whether its first appearing was July 16 or July 17.
Arcturus is the only star mentioned by name in the Bible.
Psalm 147:4 "He telleth the number of the stars, and calleth them all by their names."
"The scholarly consensus, based on Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews is that Herod died at the end of March, or early April of 4 BC."
- "As for the other Matthias who had stirred up the sedition, he (Herod) had him burned alive along with some of his companions. And on that same night there was an eclipse of the Moon. But Herod's illness became more and more severe."
This eclipse was rather September 15, 5 BC after the priest performed his duties on the day of Atonement. Herod's sons began to reign in 4 BC - hardly likely if Herod was still alive. Then if Jesus was born September 13, 7 BC, then when the wisemen came in September 5 BC, Joseph fled the same night into Egypt before Herod saw he was mocked of the wisemen and Herod must have killed all the boy's under two in Bethlehem almost immediately that September 15, 5 BC.
Thus, Herod knew from the wisemen that Arcturus first appeared overhead at midnight September 13, 7 BC and killed all the children 2 and under in Bethlehem in September 15, 5 BC.
Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."
Matthew 2:12 "And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men."
Jacob went down into Egypt at the second year of famine. This should be Friday April 1, 2307 BC. Thus, Israel went into Egypt 2300 years before the birth of Jesus in 7 BC, and Israel came out of Egypt on March 30, 1281 BC, 1270 years before Joseph took Jesus back to Nazareth in 4 BC when Herod died.
Luke 2:39 "And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth."
Herod died in 4 BC and Jesus' birth may have been in 7 BC. Then Joseph and Mary may have lived in Bethlehem from 7 BC to 5 BC and Jesus may have been two years old when the wisemen came to Jesus to worship him. Arcturus may have been the star of the east of Bethlehem. Arcturus pointed like a handle on the Big Dipper to the seasons of the year.
Then the sun miracle in September 13, 7 BC would mean the sun was on the other side of earth and the stars marking the seasons opposite from the normal September night sky. The sun would move from Virgo in September to Pisces that night September 13, 7 BC.
Then in August/September 5 BC Arcturus would rise in the east at sunset and pass above Bethlehem at midnight. Then the wise men may have read Job 38:32 and followed Arcturus.
Job 38:32 "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"
They may have observed a sun miracle perhaps on Jesus' birth September 13, 7 BC. Then in August/September Arcturus would rise in the east at sunset and point straight up at midnight. Then Arcturus could be the star in the east. Perhaps they followed Daniel's prophesy and knew the year Jesus would be born and the sign. Then they arrived at Jerusalem, following Arcturus. Then the wisemen may have found Jesus in Joseph's home in Bethlehem.
Matthew 2:1 "But after Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem,
2:2 saying: Where is he that has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star at its rising, and have come to worship him."
Matthew 2:7 "Then Herod having secretly called the Magi, inquired of them strictly the time at which the star appeared;"
Matthew 2:9 "When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw rising in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
Job 38:18 "Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
38:19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?"
Thus, Jesus must have been two years old when the wisemen came. Thus, Jesus was in the house when the wisemen came, not the manger.
Thus, in:
Job 38:32 "Canst thou make mazzaroth appear in its season? Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"
Mazzeroth must be the zodiac. The sun appears in each month in each sign of the zodiac. However, if the sun is moved to the other side of earth, the sign is 180° away that day, and the signs appearing in reverse as earth is in a reverse orbit.
Arcturus would point straight up at midnight in the reverse orbit of August/September 7 BC - September 5 BC. The sun must move at Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC, and the sun must return two full years later, September 15, 5 BC.
The significance of these two full years in Genesis may be the two years Jesus was in Bethlehem before Herod slew all the boys two years old and under as Pharaoh slew the chief baker two years before. This may also be a type of Herod slaying the chief priest Matthias September 15, 5 BC when Jesus was two years old.
Genesis 41:1 "And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river."
The Big Dipper and Arcturus normally point straight down at midnight in September.
The seasons of Mazzaroth, the zodiac, would appear in different signs of the zodiac when there was a sun miracle. Arcturus, the handle of the Big Dipper, would point to the new signs of the zodiac in the seasons. Nevertheless, there may have been a sun miracle on the day of Jesus' birth, perhaps September 12, 7 BC.
The eclipse record before Herod's death in 4 BC may have been a record of a sun miracle at the lunar eclipse of the night of September 15, 5 BC = 2 AM September 16, 5 BC Israel time. The September 15, 5 BC fits the accounts better than the lunar eclipse in the morning of March 13, 4 BC. The Sign of Ahaz may have been a sudden sunset perhaps March 20, 717 BC. Perhaps there is a parallel between Ahaz and Herod.
The lunar eclipse April 4, 6 BC, a type of the lunar eclipse on Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD:
Herod died about April 1, 4 BC, the lunar eclipse March 13, 4 BC:
The correct lunar elipse recorded by Josephus September 15, 5 BC:
"and your good judgments you explained to him to..in eternal light, and you made him for a first born son..like him, to be a prince and a ruler in all your inhabited world. The crown of the heavens, and the glory of the clouds you have placed on him and the angel of your peace in his congregation..righteous rules, as a father to his son..his love, your soul cleaves to..for in them you have placed your glory.."
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Study Edition, Volume II, 4QPrayer of Enosh, p.731
Perhaps there was a sun miracle at the lunar eclipse March 13, 4 BC as well as at September 15, 5 BC. Jesus would be two and a half years old by Herod's death in March 30, 4 BC.
Job 29:18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand."
The word for sand is "Hol" which is the word for the Phoenix who laid an egg in its nest every 500 years by Herodotus.
Wikipedia Phoenix Appearances "According to Pliny the Elder, a senator Manilius (Marcus Manilius?) had written that the phoenix appeared at the end of each Great Year (1460 years or 500 years), which he wrote of "in the consulship of Gnaeus Cornelius and Publius Licinius", that is, in 96 BC, that a cycle was 540 years, and that it was 215 into the cycle (i.e. it began in 311 BC)."
313 BC was the death of the emperor of China, King Shin-Tsing, and in 312 BC was the death of Alexander the Great. In China in 312 BC the shadow of the sun lenghtened ten cubits and rose a cubit.
"No reference to the five-hundred-year Phoenix cycle has been found in Egyptian texts"
Broek, Myth of the Phoenix, p.402.
73. There is also a sacred bird called the phoenix which I did not myself see except in painting, for in truth he comes to them very rarely, at intervals, as the people of Heliopolis say, of five hundred years; and these say that he comes regularly when his father dies"
"Setting forth from Arabia he conveys his father, they say, to the temple of the Sun (Helios) plastered up in myrrh, and buries him in the temple of the Sun; and conveys him thus: - he forms first an egg of myrrh as large as he is able to carry it, and then he makes trial of carrying it, and when he has made trial sufficiantly, then he hollow out the egg and places his father within it and plasters over with the other myrrh that part of the egg where he hollowed it out to put his father in, and when his father is laid in it, it proves (they say) to be of the same weight as it was; and after he has plastered it up, he conveys the whole to Egypt to the temple of the Sun. Thus, they say this bird does."
Herodotus. p.180
Thus, these many sun miracles, and not just a few sun miracles.
The Japanese call the Phoenix the Ho. The Chinese describe the song of the Phoenix as P'o, P'o.
Job 39:26 "Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?"
The word for hawk means brilliancy and flashing speed. The word for eagle means vulture or griffin.
Here is a Griffin from the museum at Corinth, Greece:
The Chinese said of the phoenix or dragon that it was too brilliant to look at, that it moved with tremendous speed. The griffin is also a name for phoenix.
"The people were dissatisfied with the sun, and thought they would make a new one. They appointed Coyote to be the sun. Whenever he saw married women commit adultery or young women fornicate, he would call and let all the people know. He came so near the earth people were almost burned. They deposed him, and put Red-Shafted Flicker in his place. Later on the latter laid an egg, which was changed into the present-day sun."
Teit, the Shuswap, Coyote as the Sun, p.738
Thus, the legend of the sun's rebirth from an egg may go back tens of thousands of years to China. Thus, the legend may have been carried from China by witnesses of sun miracles who then crossed the Bering Sea about 14,000 years ago.
The following also describe a long night of the sun revolving around the earth standing on the other side of earth:
Job 30:26 "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation."
The following may help in finding the date of Jesus' birthday:
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings."
Thus, Jesus born perhaps September 12 or September 13, 7 BC would be two and a half years old when Herod died March 31, 4 BC when Joseph and Mary returned to Israel to Nazareth.
Hoseah 11:1 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."
The sign of Ahaz may have been a sign of Jesus' birth in 717 BC, 710 years before Jesus was born.
Nehemiah 13:6 "But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:"
Thus, Nehemiah cleansed the temple in the 32nd year 446 BC, 440 years before the birth of Christ in 7 BC and 38 years symbolic of Jesus' life to 407 BC. Also, in 442 BC in the first year of Duke Tao a comet appeared.
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume 1, p.171.
The Chinese often changed emperor's when there was a sun miracle: "Now having entered the Pass, he has taken no wealth nor slept with any woman of Ch'in. This shows that his mind is not set upon small matters. I have had a man observe his aeromantic signs, and they are always in the form of dragons or tigers appearing in all five colors. This is the aeromantic sign of a Son of Heaven. Set upon him quick, do not miss the chance."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume 1, p.190.
Then this comet may be the dragon and there may have been a sun miracle while Nehemiah was still in Jerusalem. This 442 BC is 300 years before the sun miracle in 141 BC. This may have been the sun miracle that gave Malachi the inspiration to write about in:
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Malachi may have been written about the year of the Jubile. The fifty year jubile in 420 BC and the 49 year jubile in 409 BC. "ye shall go forth" = charge forward, rear up, frolic = the jubile.
"The Sun of righteousnes arise with healing in his wings" must match the sun suddenly and brilliantly rising at Jesus' resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD = the 49 year jubile. The jubile may match also the 50 year jubile when Jesus began his three and a half year ministry of healing, from either September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
There must have been sun miracles in the year of the Jubile: "Pliny the Elder wrote in year 77, 470 BC, that a comet of Cerastes type (like a crescent moon) appeared when the Greeks fought the final battle at Salamis."
Cometography: a catalog of comets By Gary W. Kronk, p.2.
Thus, there may have been a sun miracle at the time of the Jubile in the seventh month of September in 472 BC, not 470 BC. The comet may have been the dragon, the glory of God, which appeared when there was a sun miracle. And this sun miracle may have been the day of "light and gladness" in Esther 8:16. The historian Diordorus Siculus wrote about 100 BC that during the 102 olympiad in 368 BC (776 BC - 408 years = 368 BC; (371 BC was the 50 year Jubile):
"When Alchisthenes was Archon of Athens...there was seen in the heavens during the course of many nights a great blazing torch which was named from its shape a flaming beam."
"At any rate this torch had such brilliancy, they report, and its light such strength that it cast shadows on the earth similar to those cast by the moon."
Cometography: a catalog of comets By Gary W. Kronk, p.4.
368 BC was 400 years before Jesus' sacrifice when King Heen began his reign in China. "In King Heen's 4th year, in the summer, in the 4th month, on the day keah-yin, we removed our capitol..In King Heen's 5th year, it rained peih stones in Ch'ing. Some ground there suddenly became longer by 100 cubits and more, and higher by a cubit and a half..It rained millet in Ts'e."
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.171.
"peih stones" = the jade disc that the emperor dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle.
Day keah-yin = 51. June 3, 365 BC = Pentecost, 50th day from Passover, in Israel. With earth in a reverse orbit meteor showers like the peih disk and like millet would be expected. Earthquakes and ground movement would also be expected.
The dragon to the Chinese was very bright and hard to look at.
Jaddua was made High Priest in 370 BC at the jubile and is the last High Priest mentioned in the Old Testament. The High Priest is the only one who can enter the Holiest of Holies in the Temple on the day of Atonement.
Nehemiah 12:11 "And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua."
400 years from Jaddua to Jesus in 30 AD when he fulfilled Isaiah 61 on when he stood up to read on the first day of the seventh month. This may be the parallel to the same 400 years the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt before the Exodus out of Egypt by Moses. There are likewise 400 years from Alexander the Great conquering Judea in 333 BC to the destruction of Judea in 70 AD and the escape of the Christians to Pella.
Pharaoh Ahmose I was supposed to reign from 1550 BC. But because the end of the 1460 year sothis ended at the end of Pharaoh Merneptah's reign was supposed to be 1205 BC was 76 years further back in 1281 BC; then Ahmose I should reign 76 years further back, from 1625 BC.
Amenhotep I is given a reign from around 1546 BC or from 1526 BC. His father Ahmose I is given a reign of 20 or 25 years. So, adding years of 19 backward, 6 X 19 = 114 years. 1546 BC back 114 years = 1660 BC. Ahmose I back 20 years is 1680 BC. Thus, if Thera erupted in his 22nd year - as according to the storm stella, his first year may be 1681 BC = 400 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
The 400 years of slavery prophesied to Abraham must begin in 1680 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
The Tempest Stele of Ahmose I in his 22nd year = 1628 BC = the eruption of the volcano Thera in nearby Crete; then Ahmose I must reign from 1650 BC; 1628 + 22 = 1650 BC.
The Thera eruption may be 1646 BC. Then, Ahmose I first year 22 years earlier would be 1668 BC; just 12 years after the 400 years of slavery from 1680 BC to 1281 BC.
"yeilding calibrated calendar age ranges at 1663 BC to 1650 BC"
Thus, Ahmose I may have reigned from 1680 BC, 22 years before the Tempest Stele in this 1663 - 1650 BC; the middle of this range is 1659 BC.
Minoan eruption...Radiocarbon age..1675–1525 BC.
Thus, 76 years further back from Pharaoh Merneptah, and a further 54 years further back that are unaccounted for, to Ahmose I in 1680 BC. Thus, Ahmose I reign is put 130 years further back from 1550 BC back to 1680 BC.
The Hyksos dominated Egypt supposedly from 1630 BC to 1523 BC, when Ahmose I defeated them in 1525 BC. Then to correct these dates, 76 years further back the Hyksos won Egypt about 1707 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth - perhaps a sun miracle openned the way for the Hyksos. Then 1680 BC may mark the beginning of the 400 years of slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt to the exodus in 1281 BC.
"Ahmose ended totally the Hequa Shasu hegemony in 1532 BC."
Behind the Bible, p.25
This date of ~ 1700 BC would equal the beginning of the 400 years of slavery from 1681 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC. This radiocarbon date seems to suggest Ahmose began to reign in this 1681 BC.
Bietak - "When researchers tested grass seeds preserved at the site using radiocarbon dating techniques, the results were off by nearly a century - a significant gap, given the relatively short reign of the Hyksos kings." "if we have to redate it, palaces we thought were Hyskos may turn out to be pre-Hyksos"
Archaeology, September/October 2018, p.33
Simply, Pharaoh Ahmose I should be moved back about 100 years to 1681 BC.
"Amenhotep I appears to have nearly finished preparations for a sed festival, or even begun celebrating it; but Amenhotep I's reign is usually given only 21 years and a sed festival traditionally cannot be celebrated any earlier than a ruler's 30th year. "
Wikipedia
This date 1607 BC is in the middle of this discrepancy.
The Egyptian chronology is 76 years back from Pharaoh Merneptah in 1205 BC to the Exodus 1281 BC. All Pharaohs before Merneptah must be dated 76 years further back. 76 years back from 1532 BC is 1607 BC.
"In his (VIII Emperor Yung-Ke.) 1st year, which was keah-seuh (11th of cycle 60, = 1606 BC, that is 1486 BC + 120 years = a 120 year gap of no history between Ch'aou in 1087 BC and Muh in 967 BC = 967 BC is 800 years, probably an omen for a new emperor, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD), when he came to the throne, he dwelt in Poh. In his 12th year, he died.
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.131
There may have been a sun miracle in this very same 1607 BC, 1600 years to Jesus' birth that was taken as an omen both by the Chinese and the Egyptians. Likewise the Chinese emperor died in his 12th year:
The beginning of the Shang dynasty in China appears to begin with a sun miracle. T'ang came to the throne in year cycle 60 supposed 1557 BC. However, 120 years are missing. So the sun miracle to begin the Shang dynasty must have been in 1680 BC = 400 years before the Exodus in 1281 BC.
A radio carbon date of 3650 BP, (BP = 1950 AD) = 1700 BC, for the palace foundations at Yen-shih, was T'ang's first capitol, the first ruler of the Shang dynasty. See Ancient Chinese Warfare, Chapter 7 Shang Capitols, p.122 Note 15. Thus, T'ang's first year equals the first year of 400 years of Hebrew slavery in Egypt, 1680 BC to 1281 BC. This is the same time of turmoil in Egypt at a time of drought.
From the Pharaoh Ahmose I, not in 1550 BC but 76 years earlier 1630 BC. From 1680 BC, to the Exodus in 1281 BC is 400 years the Israelites were in slavery.
Radiation is said to vary, thus carbon dating to vary. I believe radiation does not vary. The difference of 76 years in these Egyptian dates is not from a variation in radiation but from an 76 year error in calculating Egyptian chronology.
The eruption of the Santorini volcano is carbon dated to 1630 BC, but archaeoligically dated to 1500 BC. The 130 year difference may correctly date Pharaoh Ahmose 130 years before 1550 BC to 1680 BC.
From David anointed boy king in 1097 BC, less seven years for the queen Athaliah, to the destruction of the temple in 591 BC is 500 years. Then 70 years captivity. From the completion of the second temple in February 10, 504 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC is 500 years. Or from David's first year as King in 1084 BC, less seven years for the queen Athaliah, is 500 +70 years before the second temple was finished in 504 BC, making 1070 years, less the 70 years of captivity, 1000 years of David to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
From Malachi in about 400 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC is 400 years. There were no books written after Malachi. God was silent in this period of darkness till Jesus came. Thus, 400 years of darkness from 367 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, and from 407 BC to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC. From 472 BC = the battle of Salamis September 27, 472 BC, are 500 years to Jesus when he fulfilled Isaiah 61 on the jubile September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD.
Thus, the land saw a great light that day:
Judges 8:13 "And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
Isaiah 9:2 "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
Then the Sojourn in Egypt was 1026 years from Friday, April 1, 2307 BC in the 430th sothis year from 2737 BC, with 400 years slavery from Pharaoh Ahmose I in 1680 BC to the Exodus on March 30, 1281 BC. Thus, the seven years famine from 2309 BC, 49 year cycles to 1281 BC which would begin year 49, a year of release, a jubile. Thus, also, Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD was the 49th year counting from the conquest of Joshua in 1281 BC. Then 33 AD would also be the resurrection year and a jubile year just like the Exodus.
"in year 238..Censorinus then went on to explain the "supreme year" of Aristotle which lasts until sun moon and planets return to the position from whence they started, and the cataclysmic year comprising the period between two successive world catastrophes, whether by deluge or fire, which according to Aristarchus of Samos, is 2484 solar years"
Immanuel Velikovsky, Ages in Chaos III, Peoples of the Sea, p.226.
This could be this 1026 years plus a sothis cycle of 1460 years = 2484 years. Back from 1281 BC is 3767 BC = 3800 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Ahmose was radiocarbon dated about 1556 BC. The Ebers Papyrus records the heliacal rising of Sothis on the 9th, 3rd month, 3rd season as happening on the 9th year of the reign of Amenhotep I. This could be 9 Shemu II. Even this is the exact date if we add 76 years further back for Amenhotep I to 1600 BC. Thus, the inscription should read 9 Shemu II not 9 Shemu III. This would give the first year of Ahmose 1634 BC = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD.
However, Ahmose may have begun the 18th dynasty in 1681 BC = the Chinese beginning their Shang dynasty in 1677 BC.
The 18th dynasty in Egypt was the richest and most ambitious, from this 1681 BC to King Tut's death in 1397 BC = 284 years.
If this date of the appearing of Sirius was taken from Memphis, this would place it about 20 more years further back, and Ahmose to 1650 BC, or more likely 1681 BC.
"Short-Lived Samples from Akrotiri (Thera)...resulting in a date between 1664 and 1651 cal BC (20.1% probability)" = about 1659 BC. A 20% probability if true is actually a 100% true.
The eruption of Thera, the Minoan eruption, now called Santorini, may be dated to 1659 BC in Ahmose' 22nd year = Ahmose I becoming Pharaoh in 1681 BC = 400 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
Genesis 15:12 "And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."
The last prophet of the Old Testament was Malachi. There are about 400 years from Malachi to Jesus. Thus, the significance of the 400 years to point to the light of Jesus in a period of darkness.
The night of great darkness may have been a se'nnight night, the sabbaton. A night of seven nights lasting +84 hours, 7 X 12 hours, as in the three days of darkness in Egypt of Exodus. This may have been a sign of the darkness before Jesus' resurrection. The darkness we knew before we met with Jesus.
Acts 26:13 "At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me."
"In his, King Leeh's, sixth year, from 374 BC = 369 BC, sin-hae, first year of King Hwuy-ching Leang --..the princes removed the duke.."
The Chinese Classics, The Bamboo Annals, p.170
"In the sixteenth year, 369 BC, peach trees blossomed in winter."
"In the eighteenth year, 367 BC, it rained metal pellets in Yueh-yang."
The Grand Scribe's Records. Volume I, p.107
"In his sixth year, sin hae = 48 of cycle 60 = 368 BC, the 1st year of king Hwuy-ching of Leang - the princes of Kung of Han and Ching of Chaou removed the duke Hwan of Tsin to T'wan-lew - after this we have nothing more about the affairs of Tsin."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.170.
A the beginning, of exact year 368 BC in the spring = the Passover = 400 years to the day of Jesus' crucifixion. There must have been an omen, sun miracle, whereupon duke Hwan of Tsin was removed.
Also, the 400 years of slavery in Egypt from 1681 BC to the Exodus, March 30, 1281 BC from which are 49 year jubiles to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Romans 5:10 "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
The Exodus at the end of the Egyptian calendar of 1456 years is like Jesus' resurrection at the end of the Old Testament. The Exodus Friday on the Passover, March 30, 1281 BC was like Jesus' sacrifice on the Passover, Friday, April 3, 33 AD and Jesus' resurrection Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.
From the beginning of the Armenian Sothis calendar 5368 BC; 5368 BC + 33 AD = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. There are 27 X 49 year jubiles plus "five weeks" = 35 years; 1323 + 35 + 4 (5th year), from 4668 BC = Adam at year 700 Armenian Sothis as in the Septuagint Genesis 6:4 to Noah's flood in 3307 BC = 3300 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC, backwards are 49 year jubiles to this 368 BC the first year of king Hwuy-ching of Leang.
China changed emperors often when there was a sun miracle. 368 BC = 400 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. From when Joseph was 17 years old and sold into Egypt, 2328 BC, (Joseph was born 2345 BC) are even 49 year jubiles also to 368 BC.
Thus, Jesus' sacrifice was in the 5400th year of the world = Anno Mundi.
From this 2368 BC are 38 years = Jesus' life, to 2329 BC when Joseph was 17 when he was sold for twenty pieces of silver = Joseph was a type of Christ.
Genesis 37:2 "These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren;"
Genesis 37:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
Genesis 37:28 "Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt."
Matthew 27:9 "Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;"
From 368 BC to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection are exactly 400 years. 368 BC is a 49 year jubile from Noah's flood 3307 BC. Jesus' sacrifice is a 49 year jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, 2468 BC is also = Abraham went to offer up Isaac when Isaac was 39 = the same age of Jesus when he was crucified = 2500 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
"sin hae" 48 may be a double date. Year 48 = 368 BC. Day 48 = April 17 = the full moon and Passover = Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD. Darkness at noon Israel, sunset China, at the Passover = the three hours of darkness when Jesus' was on the cross, from the sixth hour = noon Israel, till the ninth hour = 3 PM Israel. Thus, the emphasis on the number 48.
"sin hae" 48 appears as the date of a recorded solar eclipse in 505 BC. One year later, in 504 BC, day 48 was Adar 3, February 10, 504 BC, when the second temple was finished. The record was not of the solar eclipse, the record was a sun miracle the day the second temple was finished.
The keatze in Hwan's third year, from 717 BC, also appears as a double date a year one and a day one of cycle sixty. 715 BC is year one of cycle 60 from 2636 BC. September 18, 715 BC = total darkness in Israel and China when the sun must return, keatze day = day one of cycle 60, seventh month.
The solar eclipse of Hwan's first year may be the full moon on the Passover, March 27, 719 BC = day 42 of cycle 60. The sun may return one or two years later on March 27. Then, Hezekiah would have the Passover on the second month April 3, 717 BC = Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Day 29 of cycle 60, 7th month, 3rd year, = August 23, 716 BC = the 17th day of the 7th month = Jesus' birth, 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC. Darkness may appear like a solar eclipse in China, which only occurs on a new moon, = keatze day, day 1 of the lunar month. August 23, 717 BC is about the same day of the year as Joshua's long day, August 24, 1241 BC, or August 10, 1241 BC.
The sun in China this August 23, 716 BC, may be darkened = the 17th day of the 7th month to foretell Jesus' birth. That the Chinese thought was a solar eclipse.
Job 3:2 "And Job spake, and said,
3:2 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it."
Hui of Wei reigned from 370 BC, Hsuan of Ch'u reigned from 368 BC. King Hsuan won a major battle in 368 BC. Battles were often fought and won at the time of sun miracles. Sun miracles were seen as a sign for a change of King, a time for rebellion. Kings often began a reign at the time of a sun miracle. The sun standing still in the sky could cause peach trees to blossom in winter. Meteor showers may be expected a year after a sun miracle when earth travelled in the path of asteroids as earth was now in a different orbit. Thus, 368 BC = 400 years before Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD.
"In his 10th year, the five planets went out of their courses. In the night, stars fell like rain. The earth shook. The E and Loh became dry."
Another translation: "In the 10th year of Emperor Gui of Xia the five planets moved in criss-cross fashion; in the middle of the night stars fell like rain and the earth quaked."
Because of a sun miracle the Chinese took as an omen, the Chinese must have made Kwei emperor in 1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
This same year of 60 may also be 1768 BC, there being a gap of 60 years some time after Yu in 2168 BC. X68 BC = 1800 years to Jesus' sacrifice and 2200 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
- Chinese emperor Kwei's 10th year was 1698 BC: If the sun moved 180°,the planets must move with it to appear in the sky like normal. (5 stars are the 5 visible planets) Then each planet must have been individually moved, the outer planet Saturn at one third the speed of light.
Besides the delay for light to earth to show Saturn moved, Saturn at one third the speed of light should look different. Because of relativity Saturn should be dimmer from earth travelling at that speed. At 80% the speed of light the sun would be 60% dimmer. At 30% the speed of light Saturn should look about 7% dimmer. And then there is the relation of the sun moving too, and the sun light reaching Saturn, and from Saturn reaching earth.
After the planets moved the 180° the planets must stop and reverse their orbits. For the planets to appear in the night sky at the time they normally would, the outer planets must move very fast - Saturn a 1.2 million mph and the inner planets the same speed as normal just in reverse. This because planets earth was catching up with in a normal orbit would be distancing from in earth's reverse orbit necessitating extreme speeds of the outer planets to maintain the semblance of normality.
From 1698 BC 490 years to 1208 BC; 1205 BC king Wan's lunar eclipse on day 13 of cycle 60, September 23, 1205 BC. Two years before was 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Perhaps a type of Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC and the wisemen came two years later by September 15, 5 BC. Likewise emperor Kwei's first year a sun miracle in 1707 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Just like in king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, the five planets must have been moved out of the way of the sun and thus appeared in conjunction, "in criss-cross fashion" East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Clusters of Multiple Planets.
Likewise when the sun moved back half a year or a year or multiples thereof later, all the planets would be 180° away from where they should be and move 180° around the earth with the sun when it moved back, always staying in their same relative position to one another. Thus, the planets would appear in their season the same distance from the sun as they would have had in the reverse orbit.
Then the background stars would be totally different and the reverse action against the stars very quick and striking and the stars would not mark the normal movement of the planets. Thus, the planets would go out of course.
Psalm 82:5 "They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
"out of course" = Moved out of course, like earth in a reverse orbit.
A long night in China, a long day in the west, would make it possible to see a 360° night sky including all 5 visible planets.
Also, the five visible planets may appear as they are moved out of the way of the revolving sun during the sun miracle. Half of the stars of the sky would repeat before the dawn. All the planets must reverse their orbits against the stars to appear in their season as if normal. The visible planets must move 180° each time the sun moved. If the planets did not reverse, did not move 180°, their appearing in the night sky would be very different.
This observation of "the planets going the wrong way" and Wen-tze: "the five planets will lose their order" is evidence for these reverse orbits and perhaps evidence that at times the planets did not maintain their order. That is at times, after moving 180° with the sun they reversed so as to appear at the same O'clock time in their season.
Yes, the Chinese would have noticed if the planets moved 180°. They did notice and they did record it. Just as they did on king Wan's dream one and a half orbits after Joshua's long day, as seen from China. The planets appeared to stand still in the long sunset as they moved 180° from Scorpius to Taurus during king Wan's dream. To them both nights the planets were going the wrong way.
The E and Loh were rivers. That they dried up during earth's reverse orbit is to be expected. The weather change on earth could be from triggered solar activity as well as the 8 minute shorter day in the reverse orbit. "stars fell like rain" could be from meteors now in earth's path. The character for earth means "earth in correlation to heaven", that is, this was not a normal earthquake.
The emperor Fah died in his seventh year (from 1715 BC to 1707 BC) and mount T'ae shook, just before Kwei became emperor about 1708 BC. 1707 BC is 1700 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Possibly even that far back God moved the sun every seven years for the children of Israel in Egypt. The Egyptians believed when there was an earthquake their god smote both hands together striking the earth. That is, they believed in an outer force such as a sun miracle to cause an earthquake.
The moon must move 180° also, who's gravity should cause earthquakes, flooding and volcanic activity. Like sun miracles can be associated with flooding and a sun miracle in Yao's 70th year, 2245 BC that is 38 years before 2207 BC 2200 years to Jesus' birth = the 38 years of Jesus' life.
Volcanic activity can be associated with volcanic Crete and its mount Ida in the story of Phaethon.
Acts 27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phoenix, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west."
οῖνιξ Phoinix foy'-nix Probably the same as G5404; Phaenix, a place in Crete: - Phenice. Total KJV occurrences: 1
φοῖνιξ phoinix foy'-nix Of uncertain derivation; a palm tree: - palm (tree). Total KJV occurrences: 2
The city of Phoenix may have been named after the sun miracle when the sun fell from the sky in the story of Phaethon and the fire burned from Mount Ida. Phoenix also may be named after the palm trees there. Nevertheless, the same Greek word for phoenix, either palm trees, or sun angel, the same word phoenix, is used.
Even today, August 7, 2021 there are wildfires in Crete. This is mount Idi in Crete. The port Phoenix mentioned in Acts 27:12 may be connected to Phaethon and this mount Ida.
The recent fires in Greece, August 2007, following drought and a heat wave may have been similar to the fires of Phaethon perhaps during the seven years famine in Egypt and region 2313 BC to 2307 BC. Drought sometimes followed a sun miracle such as followed the same set of sun miracles in China when Yao was made emperor. In Yao's first year the sun stood still for nine days. Then he sent his astronomers to determine the stars marking the seasons that could only mark the seasons in a reverse orbit that year.
Then "in his (Yao's) seventh year there was a k'e-lin, unicorn."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.112
Yao's first year 2315 BC = Joseph's first year appointed governor of Egypt = the fulfillment of Joseph's second dream of the sun and moon and 11 stars in Genesis 37.
"In his 15th year, the chief of the K'eu-sow came to make his submission."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.112
The seven years of plenty in Egypt began in 2315 BC. Then the seven years of famine began in 2308 BC and ended in 2301 BC. There may have been a sun miracle to mark the end of the famine in Egypt in 2301 BC. Thus, 14 years from 2315 BC = the 15th year of Yao. A sun miracle may be taken as an omen to make submission to the emperor.
The unicorn was very like one of the four beasts before God's throne. Thus, a sun miracle in Yao's seventh year perhaps to begin the seven years famine in Egypt.
Even the day may appear normal and still earth flow out of or into a reverse orbit. If the sun moved 180° east near the summer or winter solstice, such as January 2240 BC, and earth's orbit shifted 40° counterclockwise at the same time the stars would appear to travel 2 times faster west on the night side of earth, yet the sun would appear to move like it normally does east to west with just a slight variation depending on where you the observer are on earth.
Thus, the sun can move 180° around the earth and earth flow into or out of a reverse orbit with very little noticeable difference from a normal day. Only, stars may seem "to fall". Nevertheless, the most reliable records of sun miracles depict the sun and moon moving up or down to keep earth in the same season, rather than earth shifting.
"(In the 29th year of the emperor Kwei = 1680 BC = 400 years Israel slaves in Egypt to the Exodus in 1281 BC) "the forces of Shang took Koo, 3 suns appeared together in the sky."
- Perhaps the sun moved 180° on Kwei's long night then 180° or 540° 19 years later on the same Egyptian calendar date. Sometimes there appear to be three suns in the sky when the sun is at the horizon, called sun dogs. See this photo of sun dogs from Guy Mackie in Saskatchewan. I have seen clouds glow at different spots 15° apart simultaneously in winter.
This picture by James Edgar in the Royal Canadian Astronomical Journal for February 2008 in winter at -19° C shows what appear to be three suns at sunset. Likewise, the sun standing still at the horizon could produce sun dogs for a long duration.
Often sun dogs are seen in winter at -6° Celsius or so. Such as the two pictures of sun dogs in Jack Newton's book "A thin veil of high-altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds can provide the perfect conditions for solar halos and sun dogs. Sometimes brilliant enough to rival the Sun's brightness, sundogs are seen only near the horizon." Both these pictures were taken at a horizon of snow. This would be rare at the latitude that China is on.
"In his (emperor Kin's 1732 BC - 50 years jubile and 49 years jubile = 450 years, before the 400 years slavery to the Exodus in 1281 BC) 8th year, there was an inauspicious (unfortunate) portent in the sky -- 10 suns appeared together. That year emperor Kin died". This 1612 BC must be 120 years earlier, as all China dates before 900 BC = 1732 BC when empero Kin died. Also, 1732 BC is a 49 year jubile, as is Joshua's conquest 1241 BC, to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
The record is for 42 of cycle. Since 1732 BC is 6 of cycle 60, 42 may refer to the day of the 10 suns, the day the sun stood still for 10 days. ji si = 6, yi si = 42.
There is a gap of 60 years in this Hea dynasty. This year 42 of cycle 60, 1755 BC instead of year 6 of cycle 60, 1732 BC = 24 years. 60 years less 24 years = 36 years. This leaves a 36 years gap sometime after emperor Yu in 2167 BC and before emperor Kin.
The date 42 may apply to the day instead of the year. The full moon = Passover, day 42 of cycle 60, Friday, February 26, 1731 BC or Tuesday, April 27, 1731 BC. Jesus was crucified on the full moon on the Passover, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
The word for inauspicious may also mean the season of Fall. However, the Chinese often changed emperors when there was a sun miracle. Meaning this could be the reason emperor Kin died that year.
In 2315 BC the sun stood still so Yao had an archer shoot at it 9 times whereupon it moved again. There are 10 days to the Chinese 10 day week. Thus, a day lasting some 12 hours more may be recorded as the sun stood still for a long time just as their 10 day week is a long time.
12 X 144 years later the sun returned to the meridian in China in 163 BC. In 492 BC, in King King's 26th year from 518 BC, a azure green rainbow appeared.
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.167.
The rainbow around God's throne is described an azure green. The moon was recorded to have been eclipsed in Darius' 20th year in 491 BC when there was no lunar eclipse. The same year of King Jing's 26th year from 518 BC = 491 BC.
There is a tradition in the Fiji Islands of a long sunset. - Geocentricity
Oceanic Mythology Roland B. Dixon 1916: (New Zealand Maori).
A noon sun on China would be a setting sun on the New Zealand Maori.
Dated to with sothis year 905, from 2777 BC to 1872 BC, which is in error and should be from the new sothis cycle beginning 2737 BC, 905 years to 1832 BC. Not the new moon December 1, 1834 BC, but 76 years further back, as all Egyptian dates should be, from 1872 BC = 1948 BC, the new moon, December 1, 1948 BC: "You ought to know that the rising of Sothis takes place on the 16th of the 8th month. Announce it to the priests of the town of Sekhem-Usertasen and of Anubis on the mountain and of Suchos. And have this letter filed in the temple records."
This should be on the new moon. Thus, December 1, 1834 BC was the new moon and 7 X 30 + 16 days later was the rising of Sirius July 16, 1833 BC. The Sothis cycle did not end in 1321 BC, but in 1281 BC. Thus, this date of December 1, 1834 BC is 40 years more recent.
However, the solar eclipse dates from 1338 BC should be 76 years further back in 1414 BC. Then, this 1872 BC should also be 76 years further back = 1948 BC.
"For the fixing in time of the {Egyptian Middle Kingdom} and the periods preceding it, the key date is the seventh year of the reign of King Sesostris III of the Twelfth Dynasty. In this year, a helical rising of the star Sothis (our Sirius) was recorded on 16. VIII of the 365-day civil calendar, a fact which, thanks to the regular displacement of this calendar, in relation to the true astronomical year, allows the year in question to be placed between 1876 and 1864 BC, with every probability favoring 1872 BC."
www.biblemysteries.com/lectures/egypt.htm
226 days back X 4 = 904 years back. Thus, 2737 BC - 904 = 1833 BC. Rather the new moon December 1, 1834 BC. Then Pharaoh Unas must have reigned not from 2375 BC - 2345 BC, but 40 years later, from 2335 BC to the fourth year of famine in 2305 BC. The end of the sothis cycle was 1281 BC not 1320 BC. Thus, all Egyptian dates should be 40 years more recent. Thus, Unas must have reigned 30 years from 2337 BC to 2307 BC.
Egyptian dates should be 76 years more back matched to Pharaoh. This due to the end of Sothis 1281 BC = death of Pharaoh Merneptah. So 1872 BC + 76 years = 1948 BC.
The sun stood still for 10 days in 1732 BC in Emperor Kin's 8th year in China. There could have been a sun miracle 100 years before in Egypt in 1832 BC, just as 1732 BC is 50 years before the 400 years of Israelite slavery in Egypt from 1681 BC.
"Sky rains, stars darken, The vaults quiver, earth's bones tremble, the planets stand still at seeing Unas rise as power,"
Most Ancient Days. A Biblical Reconstruction of Ancient History from Noah to Saul
This pyramid text of Pharaoh Unas may refer to a sun miracle when Unas came to power. This could be Yao's long day and the fulfillment of Joseph's second dream, April 2, 2315 BC.
Then Unas may have reigned from 2345 BC to 2305 BC, perhaps to die in the fifth year of famine. The next Pharaoh Teti may have reigned from 2305 BC - 2283 BC. The next Pharaoh Pepy I from 2281 BC - 2247 BC. Joseph would be 100 years old in 2247 BC. There was a sun miracle in China in Yao's 70th year in 2245 BC. The next Pharaoh was Merenra from 2247 BC - 2238 BC. Joseph died 110 years old in 2237 BC. 70 years from 2235 BC = 2169 BC = the first year of emperor Yu = 2200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Pepy II reigned from 2237 BC - 2144 BC.
2345 BC = 38 years to 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC.
(Schaefer calculates Sirius would appear rather July 17, 2000 BC) See the Sothis Calendar.
Sun miracles marked the beginning of Yao's reign 2315 BC, the end of the Hea dynasty about 1677 BC, then the end of the Shang dynasty and the beginning of the Chow dynasty 1174 BC.
"His people have all become idle in his service, and will not assist him. They are saying 'When will the sun expire? We shall all perish with thee.'"
The Chinese Classics III, The Books of Shang, The speech of T'ang, p. 175.
That is, When shall there be a sun miracle and a change of dynasty?
"Yi Yin went again to observe the mighty Hsia where he learned from Mo Hsi that "the previous night the emperor had dreamed there was a sun in the west and a sun in the east. When the two suns engaged in combat, the western sun emerged victorious and the eastern sun was vanquished.".. "They made their advance into Hsia territory from the west."
Ancient Chinese Warfare, the Shang Dynasty, p.114>
T'ang (Shang dynasty) fought Kee (Hea dynasty): "At last, 1677 BC, after many misgivings T'ang took the field against his sovereign. There would be no doubt as to the result. Heaven and earth combined with men to show their detestation of the tyrant. Two suns fought in the sky. The earth shook. Mountains were moved from their strong foundations. Rivers were dried up. Kee was routed, and fled to the south to Ts'aou,.. Thus, miserably ended the dynasty of Hea of 439 years." - 1675 BC. I have been told an early Egyptologist also found many references to two suns fighting and was at a loss to explain them.
The 400 years of slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt was to begin in 1681 BC 400 years to the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. T'ang then wrote: "When will the sun expire? We will all perish with thee. Such is the course of the sovereign of Hea,"
The dynasty of Hea, not 439 years back from 1675 BC, but 55 more years, from 2169 BC. Thus, a sixty year gap of cycle 60 years = 55 years + 5 years = 60.
T'ang ruled from 1677 BC to 1668 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in 1668 BC, 1700 years before Jesus was to be crucified.
Sun miracles: 1732 - 1698 - 1680 - 1677 BC times two or times four sun miracles in the reverse orbit years.
Such as 12 hour long day to begin the reverse orbit and 36 hours to end the reverse orbit.
Or, such as 12 hour long day to begin the reverse orbit, 12 hour long day and another 12 hour long day at the half orbit point, then a 12 hour long day to end the reverse orbit.
They thought it was the end of the world, wouldn't you? Thus, these sun miracles also visible in Egypt be a sign to the children of Israel of the beginning of the 400 years of slavery counting from 1680 BC to their deliverance in 1281 BC.
"rivers dried up" - A weather change and an earth quake would be just what you would expect in a reverse orbit. Earth in a reverse orbit may be described as "Heaven and earth combined with men." "Such is the course" could be in reference to the falling zodiac, earth in a reverse orbit, previous 1677.
The Chinese Classics vol. III, The Books of Hea, p.171.
The two suns about 1677 BC may refer to the sun moving 180° around the earth. The three suns about 1680 BC, 1588 BC 120 years back to 1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Then the three suns appeared in his 29th year = 1681 BC = the beginning of the 400 years of the slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt.
"In his 30th year there was the fall of Mount K'eu. The emperor put to death his great officer..In the winter there was a fire in Ling-suy."
"In his seventh year (from 1715 BC = 1707 BC), he (emperor Fah) died. Mount T'ae shook."
The Chinese Classics, p.125
The mountains may have shook from the result of earthquakes after the sun moved, both in 1707 BC and 1681 BC. People were often put to death on the omen of a sun miracle. Yao became emperor in 2315 BC when the sun stood still for ten days and there were resulting forest fires.
When God moved the sun, the sudden shock of gravity moving the sun should produce earthquakes. The seventh year may also mean sun miracles sometimes every seven years.
Then the sun moving 540° = 3 days = three suns appeared together, 540° around the earth to begin the 400 years of Hebrew slavery in Egypt in 1681 BC = the first year of Ahmose = the beginning of the eighteenth dynasty in Egypt.
The two suns depicted together in 1179 BC may refer to the solar eclipse at sunset in China April 17, 1178 BC. The sun would then reappear at sunset. Thus, the Chinese thought they saw two suns together.
Nevertheless, the two suns and the sun angel the qilin "This was a prodigous thing, 'a spririt like animal' - variously described." means this was no eclipse and certainly was a sun miracle.
However, the solar eclipse hardly reaches western China and is far from total in China. Thus, if not an eclipse, this record of two suns appeared together should be a record of a long day that was two days long, 12 or 24 hours longer.
It was written "how sun and moon were Wan and Woo" perhaps because of sun miracles in their lifetimes.
"Kaou-tsung was sacrificing to T'ang the Successful, when a pheasant flew up, and lighted on the ear of a tripod, and there crowed. Tsoo Ke lessoned the king on the subject, and made THE DAY OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY SACRIFICE OF KAOU TSUNG, and the INSTRUCTIONS TO KAOU-TSUNG."
The Chinese Classics, Preface to the Shoo King, p.7
The pheasant probably was the phoenix. The fact such a big thing was made of the day seems likely it was a sun miracle. This could have been on the anniversary of the first sun miracle in 1677 BC when T'ang became emperor. Thus, a sun miracle one day later when the sun returned.
"Oh! it is difficult to rely on Heaven;- its appointments are not constant."
Chinese Classics, The Books of Shang, p.213
Perhaps a result of the recent sun miracles and earth reversals that had to do with God and Israel in Egypt. Nevertheless God's message in these sun miracles to the world was to point them to the sun of righteousness, the coming of Jesus.
"In his (emperor Te-sin's 1179 BC = 5 years to his last year 52 in 1174 BC, his first year in 1126 BC) 48th year, the E goat (spirit like animal - exciting wonder) - was seen. Two suns appeared together." The exciting E-goat could be the qilin the phoenix.
Perhaps they looked directly at the sun to see the angel of the sun. Thus the blind men that beat on the drums when there was a sun miracle. They were blind from looking constantly at the sun.
Do not look at the sun or it will cause irreversible eye damage.
Perhaps the sun moved 180° day light lasting two days, 24 hours, like the sun when it stood still for Joshua. A similar sun miracle to Joshua's long day may have been associated with Woo (born about 1264 BC and became emperor 1174 BC when Woo was 90 years old).
"How illustrious were Wan and Woo!" Literally: How Sun and Moon were Wan and Woo! There may have been a sun miracle May 8, 1174 BC when Woo, Wu, was conquering China and was quoted by the Duke of Lu Yang when the setting sun reversed three solar mansions. The bright appointment of Heaven was in the 4th month, May 8, 1174 BC.
"In his 18th year, in the spring, in the 1st month, the king went to Loh, and settled the place of the tripods there. Phoenixes made their appearance, and a sacrifice was offered near the Ho."
"In his 25th year, the king held a great assembly of the princes in the eastern capital, when the wild tribes of the four quarters came to make their submission. In the winter, in the 10th month, he returned from the eastern capital, and performed a great service in the ancestral temple."
From 1168 BC - 25 years = 1144 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice = 24 X 49 years to April 3, 33 AD.
This 18th year would be 1150 BC. Comet Halley should have appeared in 1150 BC from 76 year cycles back from 467 BC and 12 BC. Jephthah had the victory in Amon/Moab not 300 years after Moses had the victory but 3 X 30 years = 90 years from 1242 BC = 1152 BC.
"When king Woo made an end of Yin, the year was in Kang-yin (1169 BC) (1200 years to Jesus' crucifixion). Twenty-four years after, in the year kea-yin (1145 BC) (38 years = the years of Jesus to his crucifixion, to 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth), the vases were finally placed in the city of Lo (the 18th year of Ching when the phoenixes appeared = a sun miracle). From that time to king Yew, were 257 years; - giving us in all 281 years. From sin-maou, the 1st year of Woo, to Kang-woo, the last year of Yew, were 292 years."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.158
These periods of 257 years and 281 years and 292 years are a bit off. Noteably, there were sun miracles pointing to Jesus' life, Jesus' birth and Jesus' sacrifice.
Judges 11:33 "And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus, the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel"
To smite 20 cities would normally take more than 12 hours of daylight.
The first month of the year began December. The first month of spring began in January or February.
"When king Woo died, king Ching was still young, Spirit-like birds and phoenixes appeared; and the mysterious bean grew up" - The mysterious bean may be the calendar bean named thus by emperor Shun a thousand years before when phoenixes also appeared in the first month: "A kind of grass, moreover, grew on each side of the palace stairs. On the 1st day of the month, it produced 1 pod, and so on, every day a pod, until the 15th; while on the 16th on pod fell off, and so on, every day a pod, to the last day of the month.."
Then by the 16th day of the full moon the moon would be 180° away from the lunar mansion it was in the day before - still progressing forwards through the lunar mansions - only earth now falling backwards 1° a day in the reverse orbit. The grass growing on either side of the palace stairs may signify the moon moving 180° to the other side of heaven.
The period of the lunar month is 29.53 days. The time for one complete lunar orbit measuring the background stars is 27 days. If earth is sped up 48 hours a reverse orbit, so is the moon which tags along, about 4 hours sped up a lunar month.
However, with earth in a reverse orbit the moon is moving clockwise with earth, but counterclockwise in its orbit of earth. Thus, instead of 27 days to complete an orbit around the earth against the background stars, the moon may take 31 days.
The moon has to change its orbit around the earth when earth was in a reverse orbit of the sun for the lunar orbit to appear the same. There would still be 29.5 "days", that is sped up earth days of four hours to a lunar month.
A sideral year, earth's actual orbit period, is 366.24 days. In a reverse orbit, a sideral year is 364.24 days = 48 hours sped up orbit.
"Let the sunne goe so many degrees backe that the houres may be so many the fewer in the Kings diall. Which diall was set in the rope of the stairs that Ahaz had made."
Genesis 28:12 "And he dreamed, and behold a stair case set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it."
Thus, "the palace stairs" may be symbolic of the shadow of the sun retreating to the east.
Jacob born 2438 BC. Jacob would be 70 in this 2368 BC. Abraham born 2607 BC. Isaac born 2507 BC.
"And Jacob left Beersheba to go to Haran in the first year of the second week of the forty-fourth jubilee.. and reached Luz..it is Bethel..and spent the night there because the sun had set."
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition. Volume 1. p.25. Jub 27:19-21
Jacob was 70 in 2368 BC. A week of years later, 7 years later, could mean Jacob began to work for Laban when Jacob was 77. Jacob was 20 years with Laban. Then, Joseph born in 2345 BC / 2342 BC just after this 20th year in 2348 BC, and Benjamin in 2336 BC / 2333 BC.
Benjamin born in 2333 BC = 36 years from the 49 year jubile in 2369 BC.
"And in the sixth year, in the seventh week of this jubile, Abraham called Isaac..I do not know the day of my death...Behold I am one hundred and seventy two years.."

Abraham born in 2607 BC was 172 years old in 2345 BC. From 2468 BC to 2435 BC = 33 years. 6th year + (4) X 7 = 5 + 28 = 33 years.
"In the first week of the forty-third jubile in its second year, which is the year in which Abraham died,
The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, Volume I, Jub 21:14 - 16.18 - 2:1; 4Q221 1. p.469
42 X 50 = 2100 years = 43rd jubile. From 4568 BC (Adam in year 800 from 5368 BC) - 2100 = 2468 BC. From Abraham's birth in 2607 BC - 175 years = 2432 BC. From 2468 BC - 2432 BC = 36 years. 5 X 7 = 35 years; 2468 BC - 35 years = 2433 BC; the second year = 2432 BC.
Every 50 years there was a jubile. Counting from Adam: 44 X 50 = 2200 years. 2200 years + 2368 BC = 4568 BC. Adam born in year 800 Armenian Sothis. Back from 3907 BC 1460 years = 5367 BC. Forward 800 years = 4568 BC = Forty-four jubiles to 2368 BC. The second week. The Passover was on the 14th day = the second week. 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice on the Passover. The sun had set, perhaps a sun miracle that day.
Emperor Kuh perhaps from 2400 BC. Thus, his 29th year or 32nd year would be 2368 BC. The blind men beat drums when there was a solar eclipse or sun miracle.
Here is a bell with phoenix heads on either side. The bell was meant to be rang when the phoenix flew to the sun and moved the sun.
Or, adding back from Yao's first year in 2315 BC, + 8 + 62 = 2385 BC. His 16th year 2370 BC about the 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice. His 45th year 2341 BC = 1100 years or 22 X 50 year jubiles to Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
"In his 16th year he made Ch'ung lead an army, and extinguish the state of Yew-kwae. In his 45th year he conferred on the prince of T'ang (Yao) the appointment to be his successor."
"Note: He was born with double rows of teeth; and had the virtue of a sage. He made blind men beat drums, and strike bells and sounding stones, at which phoenixes flapped their wings and gambolled."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.111.
Emperor Wu reigned 6 years from 1174 BC to 1168 BC. Then Emperor Ching probably reigned 35 years from 1168 BC to 1134 BC. Then in Ching's 18th year was 1150 BC.
K'elins wandered in the parks; phoenixes flew in the courtyards; king Ching took a lute, and sang: --
'The phoenixes fly
All around my hall
What virtue have I
So spirits to call?
'From the former kings
This influence comes;
Theirs the joy that rings
In the peoples homes.'
"In his 37th year, in the summer, in the fourth month, on the day yih-ch'ow, 2nd of cycle, the king (Ching) died."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.148.
Day 2 of cycle 60 in 1133 BC, of the fourth month from January, was the new moon April 28, 1133 BC. Then his 18th year would be 1153 BC.
This is an exact copy of the song recorded on Huangdi's sun miracle on the autumn equinox. Notice the same K'elin, unicorn of the sky, that Yao recorded in his 7th year that may have begun the seven years of famine in Egypt. - First character top right - see lin - unicorn. The sun and moon phoenixes were birds who carried the sun and moon 180° around the earth. The K'elins may be flaming deer who carried the planets 180° around the earth. The K'elins were running because they must move the planets at hundreds of millions of miles per hour. Perhaps the sun moved 180° and earth flowed out of or went into a reverse orbit of the sun in king Ching's 34th year, 1136 BC, when it rained gold.
This may have been the sun miracle that gave Jephthah the victory, in King Ching's 18th year = 100 of Heshbon from 1242 BC rather than year 300. Thus, if emperor Wu reigned 12 years from 1174 BC, and the phoenixes in King Ching's 18th year, this is this 1144 BC. There are four beasts before the throne of God. One like a calf. This could be the unicorn of the Chinese. One like an eagle. This could be the phoenix. One like a lion. This could be the Chinese White Tiger. See Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4.
Probably King Ching's 18th year was 18 years from 1168 BC = 1150 BC. 1144 BC would be his 24th year. Often kings came to make their submission when there was a sun miracle:
"In his 24th year, the chief of Yu-yueh came to make his submission..."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.147
"In (King Jing's) 14nth year (504 BC) the Milky Way was not visible in the sky."
Chinese Classics, the Bamboo Book Annals.
In King Jing's 15th year there was a solar eclipse on day sin hai, day 48, February 16, 505 BC. The sun was 40% covered by the moon in China. Perhaps what was recorded was a sun miracle on sin hai, day 48, February 10, 504 BC the third day of Adar, the sixth year of Darius. Then King Jing's 14th year when the milky way was not visible was 505 BC.
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'"

"Uncle E-ho, how illustrious were Wan and Woo! Carefully did they illustrate their virtue, till it rose brightly on high, and the fame of it was widely diffused here below. Therefore did God cause his favouring decree to light upon king Wan."
The books of Chow, Book XXVIII, Chinese Classics.
Literally: How Sun and Moon were Wan and Woo! There may have been a sun miracle June 1 1174 BC when Woo, = Wu, was conquering China and was quoted by the Duke of Lu Yang when the setting sun reversed three solar mansions.
The long sunset of king Wan's dream, his first year as king, on February 5, 1239 BC "to light upon king Wan"
The K'elins, of Huangdi 2600 BC - and King Ching 1150 BC, may be flaming deer, angels, who carried the planets 180° around the earth. The K'elins were running because they must move the planets at hundreds of millions of miles per hour. Perhaps the sun moved 180° and earth flowed out of or went into a reverse orbit. The first month of spring is January/February. Perhaps the sun moved 180° January 26, 2636 BC from the new moon from which days of 60 and years of 60 are counted from. Then the sun may have moved also in January 2657 BC in Huangdi's first year.
The winter solstice in 2636 BC should be December 21 in the Gregorian calendar. Because the Julian calendar did not keep up the rounding of the year of 365.24 days but the rounding of 365.25 days, the Julian calendar fell back one day every 128 years. Thus, this sun miracle January 26, 2636 BC would be only two weeks after the winter solstice = like the earth were to twist on its vertical axis 180° = the sun must move to the zodiac sign six months away, thus the sun and moon may be described as being near the north pole. Earth did not twist, only the sun moved up or down, and the earth was kept to the same zodiac path in a reverse orbit with the sun on the other side of earth.
Huangdi died in his 100th year = 2657 BC 100 years to 2557 BC. "In his 100th year, the earth was rent. The emperor went on high" - "he did not die but went up to Heaven on a dragon" - the earth quake and the dragon suggest this may have been a sun miracle.
"Tso-ch'e raised Chuen-hueh to the throne 7 years after Hwang-te's death"
Chuen-hueh's first year must have been 2515 BC not 2550 BC.
From 2557 BC to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC are 51 X 50 year jubiles.
Then these years counted from sun miracles appear to point to Jesus' birth in even 50 year jubiles 2657 BC etc to 7 BC. The 7 years also is the release.
Exodus 21:2 "If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing."
"In his, Huangdi, 20th year, (2636 BC), brilliant clouds appeared. Note: The auspicious clouds was in this way: The vapours of the red quarter [the south] extended so as to join those of the green [the east]. In the red quarter were two stars, and the green, one; all of a yellow colour, which appeared when the heavens were clear and bright.. When the emperor was sitting in a boat on the Yuen-hoo, above its junction with the Lo, there came together phoenixes, male and female."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p. 1.
An object moving from the east to the west may appear green in the east and red in the west according to relativity. Green and red colours were often recorded when there was a sun miracle.
An object moving toward the earth near the speed of light, such as a planet, should appear in the blue spectrum = green. Objects moving away from earth near the speed of light should appear red. All according to Relativity.
Jupiter and Saturn if moved with the sun at the same instant are so far away they may be moved near the speed of light.
The sun phoenix and the moon phoenix were the angels that carried the sun and moon to the far side of the earth. Then the far side of the moon that we normally never see may have become visible. Even for the year or years of earth's reverse orbit the moon would show its far side the earth normally never sees. Every full moon would show the far side, which is far rougher, of the moon. This because of the moon's tidal lock with the moon's rotation would keep the far side of the moon facing earth while earth was in the reverse orbit.
Likewise, the sun would show the other side to earth the day God moved the sun to the other side of earth. Sun spots that were visible to earth would then be on the other side of the sun and not visible that day. New sun spots would be visible the day God moved the sun to the other side of earth.
When the sun returned, at that moment there was no net missing time. So, the side of the sun with its sun spots would be just as they would be forecasting into the future and backward projecting into the past.
Earth has only seen the near side of the moon for billions of years because of tidal lock. The moon was moved to the other side of earth. Then, people on earth must see the far side. To rotate the moon, without disturbing the surface, is nigh to impossible, just as to stop earth's rotation without trace is nigh to impossible.
Moreover, if the sun stood still in the sky such as for Joshua, the six day moon also would stay above the eastern horizon. Then for the next 24 hours, the moon would show 360° rotation even though the moon did not rotate. The moon rotates 360° every 27 days = facing the earth all the time of the 29.5 days of the lunar cycle. Simply moving the moon would mean not rotating the moon. Moon dust is fragile, so rotating the moon would leave a shift in lunar sand.
Then, because the sun must return on the same date one or two years later, then the moon must return at the same time. Thus, when the long days of 48 hours added up with the sped up earth of 48 hours = no net time difference, then the usual side of the moon would face earth the same as normal, automatically.
Thus, the moon should not change its rotation at all. When the sun and moon moved back 180°, the same side of the moon as seen from earth would appear. Simply because there is no net missing time, there is no change in the side of the moon facing earth when the moon moved back.
So those watching the first quarter moon on Joshua's long day would see the far side appear, then near side appear, then again the far side appear.
God would not need to adjust the rotation of the moon at all. The sun and moon must move back on the exact hour and second one year later. Thus, even though earth's orbit was sped up 48 hours, when the sun and moon moved back the normal side of the moon would again face the earth. Even the tidal lock of the moon would keep the far side facing the earth that reverse orbit year till the sun and moon moved back.
See the sun miracle account by the Aztecs - Historia general de las cosas de Nueva Espana, BK. VII, Chapter 2" "Then one of the gods came out running with a rabbit he came to wound in the face; this Tecutizcecatl; with it he darkened his face. He killed its brilliance. Thus, it doth appear this day."
"to wound in the face" of the moon may mean earth saw the far side of the moon when the sun and moon moved to the other side of earth.
The Rabbit can be seen in the far side of the moon.
When God moved the sun to the other side of earth, he must move the moon to the other side of earth.
Rotating the moon without disturbing the moon dust would be very difficult. Simply earth would see the far side of the moon, and the other side of the sun.
The full moon from the far side of the moon we would see the body and the ears of a rabbit, or the bumps of a toad = the rough side of the moon.
With the legend of emperor Yao who shot at the sun when it stood still in the sky, was the legend of princess Chang E. She rose to the sky and became the moon. She gave the moon the look of a rabbit or a toad. The Rabbit may be seen in the full moon.
When God moved the sun to the other side of the earth, He also must move the moon 180° too. Then we must see the far side of the moon which is much rougher than the smooth side we see now. Thus, the rough side, the far side, may appear as this rabbit or this toad.
The name Chang E is a common name in China and like princess Chang E may have to do with sun miracles.
However, the toad, with all its bumps, may be a description of the far side of the moon. This far side of the moon we never see is very pot marked by many meteorite collisions in the early solar system. The many pock marks look like the rough hide of a toad. Only if the sun and moon were moved to the other side of the earth could we see the far side of the moon.
The full moon of Autumn is celebrated in her honour. That reverse orbit year Yao employed Ho and He to determine the stars, the full moon each month would display the far side that earth can only see when in a reverse orbit of the sun.
The seventh year of Yao, 2308 BC, when the unicorn appeared = phoenix, should be when princess Chang E was changed into the moon. The sun and moon perhaps both moving 180° around the earth = the earth would see the dark side of the moon.
China plans to land a space craft on the far side of the moon in 2019. The space craft they called "Yutu" meaning "jade rabbit". The moon was sometimes called a rabbit, possibly because people saw the far side after the sun was moved to the other side of earth. The sun moved 180°' means the moon was moved 180° too, and also means we on earth would then see the far side, which we never could have otherwise. The far side is much rougher. Perhaps people thought the moon looked like the face of a rabbit.
Earth must see the dark side because to rotate the moon to show the same side to earth would have the same effect as stopping the earth's rotation. Thus, the reason God must move the sun and not stop the earth from rotating, is the same reason earth must see the dark side, the other side of the moon.
Earth only sees one side of the moon because the moon's orbit is tidal locked to earth from billions of years of gravity tugs on the moon. So the other side of the moon gets sunlight, just we never see the other side. Thus, the legend of Yao's wife, princess E, ascending to change the face of the moon after Yao's long day, April 1, 2315 BC. Thus, the American Native legends of a rabbit or frog face on the moon.
North American Native legend records the moon had the look of a frog and a rabbit and at other times the look of the face of a man.
The Russians took the first photos of the far side of the moon from the Soviet probe Luna 3, October 7, 1959.
Some legends report the moon looked different at times. Stopping earth from rotating would be very hard to do without destroying earth. Then also, when moving the moon to the other side of the earth with the sun, the moon may not be rotated but show its far side to earth. The far side of the moon is much rougher than the near side with the sea of tranquility. The moon rotates in sync with its 29 day orbit. So earth never sees the far side.
If the sun and moon moved 180° on a full moon, the far side of the moon should face earth fully reflecting its rough and very different surface to earth.
"the premise that the Soviets would continue nuclear weapons testing on the far side of the Moon,..McNamara considered this premise "...absurd" and that"...[they were] out of [their] minds", ..Ironically, it was later revealed that the Pentagon had their own plan to detonate a nuclear weapon on the Moon as part of the experiment Project A119'
Far side of the Moon
From the Missing Day Story: "This religious fellow also remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The space men told him he was out of his mind."
"Once there were seven suns in the sky. It was too hot. People found a good archer and asked him to shoot some of the suns. The archer was a daring man. He said, 'Tomorrow morning when the seven suns come out I'll shoot six of them with six arrows. If I fail, I'll be a marmot, cut off my thumb, drink blood instead of water, eat dry grass and live underground.' Well, he shot five. When he shot his last arrow, a sparrow flew in front of him. The arrow cut the sparrow's tail, which is why the sparrow has a forked tail. He did as he promised, and became a marmot. That is why the marmot has human meat on him."
Ghengis Khan, Life, Death and Resurrection. By John Man. p.27. On the subject how tales originated among the Mongol people.
TRANSLATION AND COMMENTARY OF THE CH'U SILK MANUSCRIPT found in 1934, from 500 BC: Text A: Yao assigns Kung Kung to manage the Ho? "After one thousand and one hundred years, the Sun and the Moon .... born" 1100 years between Yao's long day, 2315 BC, and Joshua's death in the 25th year of conquest from 1241 BC = 1216 BC, according to Josephus, 1100 years later = 1215 BC.
Also, a sun miracle in 1205 BC at the lunar eclipse in China September 23, 1205 BC king Wan said the many eclipses were untimely and was put in prison. Then perhaps a sun miracle two years earlier in 1207 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Many irregularities of the sun and moon follow in Text B: "the sun, the moon thence will gain and retreat, and will not obtain its .... . Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter .... (= not?) have .... (= their?) regularity." In a reverse orbit the stars marking spring and fall are reversed. "the [process of] gaining and retreating .... (= becomes muddled?)"
The zodiac retreats in a reverse orbit. "Sun and the Moon have already become confused" Both the sun and moon must move 180°. "The [movements of the] Sun and the Moon .... (= verb?) in confusion, the Stars and the Constellations will not be in harmony." In a reverse orbit the stars rise later each evening instead of earlier but the moon would rise later each evening as usual. "the seasonal rainfall will come and go, and there will be no regularity" a change in weather patterns in a reverse orbit would be expected. "Respectful (= humble?) people not yet aware [of this], .... will regard [it] as thence (= as a norm). Do not move (= disturb?) the multitudes of the people" People are the same today.
Was Yao's Long Day 9 X 12 hours longer accomplished by the sun moving 9 X 180° east and appearing to stand still in the sky for 9 X 12 hours?
"he shot the ten suns above and destroyed the dragon-like beast below"
The dragon-like beast could be likend to the moon. which must move 180° also to stay in the same lunar phase. The dragon, the moon, often ate the sun in an eclipse. The Chinese symbol for moon, or darkness, was Yin, - female, princess. The Chinese symbol for sun was Yang, male. The moon's hidden side must shine, either from sun shine or earth shine, on earth till the moon rotated 180°. Perhaps the toad look of princess Chang E in the moon was the moon's hidden side lighted by the sun shining on earth. The far side of the moon is rough and battered like the bumps on a toad.
The dragon was a very bright angel that flew to the sun to move the sun 180° around the earth. There was a sun phoenix and a moon phoenix to move both 180° around the earth and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
The sun may have moved again seven years later to mark the seven years of famine in Egypt and be both the unicorn in Yao's seventh year and the sun and moon miracle that marked the Chinese Autumn festival of princess Chang E.
The Chinese mid autumn festival would occur in 7 BC September 12, when Jesus was born. Thus, perhaps a sun miracle in September 2309 BC and China would see the dark side of the moon. Thus, the legend of princess Chang E. And thus the purpose of the sun miracle to point to the coming of the Christ Jesus.
The blood moon, at the time of a lunar eclipse - may have recorded not the passing shadow of the earth that night, September 15, 5 BC recorded by Josephus, when the sun may move back two years after Jesus' birth, may have shown the far side of the moon in the red reflection of the dimmed sun on the other side of the earth.
Earth only ever sees this one side of the moon which is mostly smooth. In this rough cratered image taken by a Russian satellite in the 1960's for the first time, you see the far side of the moon on the right half of this image. On the left you see the smooth dark Sea of Crisis, Border Sea - border of what we can see on earth, and the Sea of fertility. The whole far side of the moon is filled with craters with just the small Moscow Sea and small Sea of Ingenuity, which cannot be seen in these photos:
Moon's far side: Pictures of the Moon, Moon's Far Side
Then the sun must move up or down after the 180° revolution around the earth, necessitating a like sun miracle half a year later or a year later or multiples thereof for the sun to move back and earth to flow out of the reverse orbit and earth's orbit continue as if nothing had happened. Note that in 2246 BC (2245 BC was 38 years before 2207 BC) in Yao's 70th year phoenixes appeared. There was a light from Ho/Scorpius that could be Mars in Scorpius in 2246 BC at the sun miracle February 26, 2246 BC.
Then the first sun miracle may have been February 26, 2246 BC. Then perhaps the sun returned in the second month, day sin-chow day 38 of cycle 60, February 26, 2246 BC with all five planets in Maou/Taurus and Pisces - with the sun. The tenth day of the first month, Sunday, February 4, 1241 BC be the crossing of Israel of the river Jordan.
Then two years later, in the second month, he led out all his ministers, and dropped a peih in the Lo. The ceremony over, he retired and waited for the decline of the day. Then a red light appeared; a tortoise rose from the waters, with writing in red lines on its back, and rested on the altar. The writing said that he should resign the throne to Shun, which accordingly the emperor did."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Emperor Shun.
"On the first day, the first month, he received Yaou's retirement from the imperial duties of the Accomplished ancestor." "He examined the gem adorned turning sphere, and the gem traverse tube, that he might regulate the seven directors." "In the second month he made a tour." "Note: when a month was completed. The summons had been sent to the nobles, and at the expiry of a month they began to arrive." "Thereafter he gave audience to the nobles of the East, putting in accord their seasons and months, and rectifying the days;"
The Chinese Classics III, The Canon of Shun.
Shun reigned 28 years with Yao, from 2244 BC to Yao's 100th year in 2216 BC when Yao died, Shun reigned three years with Yao from 2218 BC. "after three years Shun ascended the throne" Then Shun reigned 14 years from 2222 BC to 2207 BC; Shun reigned 50 years from 2219 BC to 2169 BC.
From Yao's first year in 2315 BC 70 years to Shun's co-reign in 2245 BC marks 38 years, the life span of Jesus, before 2207 BC. Yao died in his 100th year, in 2216 BC; then the sun miracle in Shun's 14th year in 2207 BC = 2200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Jacob was born when Isaac was 70 years old, from 2507 BC to 2437 BC. From the sun miracle in Huangdi's 20th year, January 27, 2637 BC are 300 years to this 2337 BC. Jacob was 70 years old in 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD. Joseph lived 70 years after Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC, to 2235 BC = 110 years from 2345 BC. There was a sun miracle in emperor Yao's 70th year, perhaps the same time, the same 70 years. 70 more years equals this 2169 BC, and a sun miracle whereupon Yu became emperor of China.
Chinese emperor T'ae-k'ang's first year = 2137 BC = 70 years after 2207 BC = emperor Shun's first year - and even 100's of years from 2437 BC. This, 2137 BC, was the Egyptian sothis year 600 from 2737 BC.
Looking for a solar eclipse on day 47, October 5, 2138 BC was the new moon on day 47 of cycle 60. This was not an eclipse but may have been a sun miracle = darkness that was recorded as a solar eclipse. October 5, 2138 BC would begin the ninth month on the new moon - a new moon when a solar eclipse may occur.
Chung K'ang reigned from 2131 BC, his fifth year would be 2127 BC and there was no solar eclipse on a day 47.
There were 70 years of Israel's captivity from 591 BC to 521 BC. David lived 70 years from 1114 BC to 1044 BC, when 1045 BC was the year 49 jubile from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC.
70 years + 70 years from Joseph, 38th years when Jacob and his brothers came into Egypt 2307 BC - 140 years = 2168 BC. 100 years of Yao, less 4 years, from 2315 BC + 50 years of Shun, to the first year of Yu = 2169 BC.
Yao's first year may be the same time as Jacob and his sons coming into Egypt April 1, 2307 BC. The Dead Sea Scrolls mentions the 70 more years of Joseph's life. Then, Genesis 37 that refers to the eleven sheafs bowing to Joseph and the sun and moon and eleven stars bowing to Joseph may be one and the same day.
"When the emperor (Yao) had been on the throne 70 years, a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih and phoenixes appeared.."
The Chinese Classics, p.113
Phoenixes are the angels that moved the sun and moon.
Note: "On his (emperor Shun - after Yao's 100th year) accession, the felicitous bean grew about the stairs, and phoenixes nested in the courts. When they beat and tapped the musical stones, to accompany the nine performances of the Shaou, all the beasts came after one another gamboling. A brilliant star came out of Fang (Libra/Scorpius). The earth produced the horse Shing-hwang."
The Chinese Classics. The Annals of the Bamboo Books. Note. p.115.
The first domestic horse may have came from Noah's ark in 3306 BC by the Aral Sea. Thus, it could take this 1000 years from 3306 BC to 2300 BC for the domestic horse to get to China. The angel that moved the sun may have been one of the four beasts - one of them looked like a unicorn/ox/horse. The chariot of the sun is described as horses pulling the sun = not the daily sunrise, but the day of a sun miracle/sun movement.
Yao may have reigned from 2315 BC 100 years to year 56 of cycle 60 = 2222 BC. Shun reigned from 2222 BC. 2250 years before Jesus began his ministry August/September 29 AD on the jubile of the 50th year and quoted Isaiah 61. In Shun's 14th year, 2207 BC = 2200 years before Jesus' birth. 110 years from Joseph becoming governor of Egypt in 2315 BC was 2207 BC. Sunday September 5, 2307 BC was day 14 of cycle 60 in China and day 17 of the Hebrew lunar month.
Thus, there may have been a sun miracle foretelling Jesus' birth the 17th day of the lunar month, Sunday, September 13, 7 BC. Several dates in Chinese history foretelling Jesus' birth occurred on day 14 of cycle 60.
"In his 14th year, auspicious clouds appeared. .Shun raised an altar at the Ho, as Yaou had done before. When the day declined, there came a fine and glorious light; and a yellow dragon issued and came to the altar, bearing a scheme on his back, 32 cubits long and 9 cubits broad, in lines of red and green intermingled, the words of which were that he should resign in favour of Yu."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.116.
"In his (Yu) 8th year..In the summer, in the 6th month, it rained gold in the capitol city of Hea. In the autumn, in the 8th month, he died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.118
Shun reigned from year 56 of cycle 60 (2636 BC) 2222 BC = 46 X 49 years to Jesus' sacrifice, 53 years to Yu in 2169 BC. Thus, Yu died in his 8th year 2161 BC.
The other possibility for the sun miracles in Yao's 70th year: "A brilliant star issued out of Yih, Corvus." The sun may have moved from Pisces to Corvus and be this brilliant star. "The five old men on this flew away like flowing stars, and ascended into the constellation Maou."
That is, perhaps they moved 180° from being in the Ho with Mars, Scorpius to Taurus. Jupiter was already in Taurus, an outer planet.
The red star the Ho = Antares in Scorpius, in Greek Antares means the "rival of Mars" "the Ante of Mars" because of its red colour. Likewise, the Chinese speak of Ho, Antares, the red star, and the fire crane, the phoenix is also red.
Saturn was in Pisces near Taurus also. It would have not been visible till the sun moved from Pisces. Mercury and Venus were with the sun and must move 180° to Corvus with the sun. Mars must move 180° from Scorpius/Ho to Taurus, an inner planet. Thus, Mercury and Venus may appear in Taurus as they moved out of the way of the sun that day/night and thus appear with Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
If the sun moved at Yao's counting of the new year, one month before the winter solstice, the sun must move from Scorpius to Taurus. Then Yih = Corvus would appear directly above at sunset. The time would be about autumn. Thus, the brilliant star appearing in Yih may have been like the star that led the wisemen to Jesus, from September 12, 7 BC to September of 5 BC.
The winter solstice in 2315 BC was January 8. 2315 BC divided by 128 years = 18 days. 18 days back from December 21 is January 8. In 2316 BC November 20 would be one full lunar month before the winter solstice in January 8.
This 70th year = 2245 BC, 38 more years to 2207 BC. Like the ides of March of Julius Caesar, the full moon Passover, March 15, 45 BC. 45 BC = 38 years + 38 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Thus, the pattern from 2245 BC also.
There may have been darkness at 11 AM in Rome when Julius Caesar was assassinated = darkness in Israel at noon at the Passover. Then, likewise there may have been darkness at sunset in China = noon in Israel/Egypt in 2245 BC = 38 years to another sun miracle in China in 2207 BC = 38 years in reverse to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC = the darkness at the sixth hour of the day when Jesus was on the cross, when Jesus would be 38 and a half years.
Thus, like Solomon who reigned 38 years from 1044 BC to his 38th year 1007 BC. Both 2207 BC and 1007 BC being even hundreds to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus, God was pointing to the 38 years of Jesus' life.
"When the emperor had been on the throne 70 years, a brilliant star issued from the constellation Yih (Corvus in Virgo could equal the sun moved 180° from Pisces in March to Corvus = the brilliant star) and phoenixes appeared in the courtyards of the palace (could equal the sun angel was seen that moved the sun); the pearl grass grew, and the admirable grain flourished; sweet dews moistened the ground, and crystal springs issued from the hills; the sun and moon appeared like a pair of gems, and the five planets looked like threaded pearls."
"A kind of grass, moreover, grew on each side of the palace stairs. On the 1st day of the month, it produced one pod, to the 15th; while on the 16th one pod fell off, and so on, every day a pod, to the last day of the month; and if the month was a short one (the moon passes 360° against the stars in 27 days, in a reverse orbit the moon may complete 360° in 31 days. Because the moon is traveling clockwise with the reverse orbit earth which is against its counterclockwise orbit of earth. In both cases the lunar month is 29.5 "days"), one pod shriveled up, without falling. It was called the calendar bean."
Here you see the hours of the day and night divided into 28 divisions in the Dead Sea Scrolls, just like the 28 lunar divisions in Yao's zodiac. in Hebrew.
Here you see the same 28 divisions in the Chinese lunar zodiac from the time of Yao = 2315 BC:
The orbit of the moon in its normal orbit was well known by the ancients to be 27 mansions, and the lunar month 29.5 days.
The moon, the lunar month, would still appear as 29.5 days when earth was in a reverse orbit.
The moon would appear to move through 25 solar mansions instead of this 27, a difference of four solar mansions, when earth was in a reverse, and sped up, orbit. Thus, the lunar month was four hours shorter = four lunar mansions shorter. 29 lunar mansions = 24 hours; 4 hours is about 4 lunar mansions. 48 hours / 12 lunar months = 4 hours shorter a lunar month. The earth would appear to take 364 days in its sidereal year, instead of 366 days because earth was sped up 48 hours = two less sidereal days.
The Essene 52 week calendar was 364 days. Every seven years a day was added. Then the feast days always fell on the same day of the week. The 29.5 day lunar calendar = 354 day year.
The 182 days to the seventeenth day of the seventh month, and 182 days to the first month = 364 days.
Secrets of Enoch, Chapter XLVIII, p.64The lunar year 354 days, the solar year 365.25 days. Every 4 years a day was added. Every year the moon was 11 days less. "on account of this they are omitted from the heavens during three years, and are not added to the number of the days, on which account these change the seasons of the year in two new months, to make the number complete and there are two others to diminish. And when she goes to the Eastern, with her light, and so she goes day and night in the heavenly circles,
Secrets of Enoch, Chapter XVI, p.19
The fixed Essene dates: Passover day 15 of the first month = Wednesday to Tuesday. Pentecost day 15 of the third month = Sunday. Rosh Hannah 1st day of the seventh month = Wednesday. Yom Kippur 10th day of the first month = Friday. Sukkut 15th day of the seventh month = Wednesday to Tuesday.
"As Jubilees set the Festival of Weeks (Pentecost) on III 15 the offering of the wave sheaf (Leviticus 23:11), the omer-waving ceremony from which it is dated, always fell on Sunday the 26th day of the first month."
The Essene Solar Calendar
Thus, Pentecost was always on a Sunday in the Essene calendar.
Joseph was sold into Egypt when he was 17 and he received his father and brothers into Egypt when he was 39.
Thus, there be this missing pod in the lunar cycle. Yao's lunar zodiac had 28 mansions. There are 29.5 days a lunar month. These 28 lunar mansions were very unevenly spaced. Thus, the Chinese may only notice a subtle difference in lunar cycles when earth was in a reverse orbit.
"The most common and the earliest division of the ecliptic is that of the 28 lunar mansions. These are of very unequal extent, and consequently very inconvenient for any purpose but that of astrology... But the vernal mansions go to the west, and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous direction of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that spring belongs to the east"
The Chinese Classics. p.95
Thus, from the very sun miracle of Yao's appointment to be emperor, and Yao's lunar zodiac, earth is depicted in a reverse orbit. The only solution is God must have moved the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowed into this reverse orbit.
Then there may be a long night, the sun move effectively 180° and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun, day 38, February 26, 2246 BC.
Then two years later the sun move back on day 47, the same date two years later - perhaps February 26, 2244 BC.
"Two years afterwards, in the 2nd month, Shun led all his ministers and dropped a peih in the Lo. The ceremony over he retired, and waited for the decline of the day. Then a red light appeared; a tortoise rose from the waters, with writing with red lines on its back, and rested on the altar. The writing said that Yao should resign the throne to Shun which the emperor accordingly did."
The Chinese Classics III, p. 114
The sun may have moved 180° on day 38, the sin-ch'ow day, February 26, 2246 BC and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun and the sun moved again two years later, on day 47, February 26, 2244 BC and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Or the sun may have moved 180° day 38 of cycle, March 3, 2247 BC, Mars moving from Ho being the light that issued from Scorpius. Thus, the ceremony on the date the sun was to move back just after the end of the month when the nobles were gathered, on day 47, March 3, 2245 BC.
If Yao's long day was the 12th of cycle 60 from 2636 BC, this should be 2325 BC. Then Yao's 70th year should be 2256 BC.
However, Yao's first year and Yao's long day appear to date from 2315 BC. 2315 BC - 100 years = 2215 BC. Yao's 70th year be 2245 BC. Julius Caesar's death in 45 BC on the ides of March = the darkness = an omen = when Jesus was on the cross = full moon = Passover = 38 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Jesus' life 38 years from 7 BC to 33 AD. Thus, 2245 BC = 38 years to 2207 BC = 2200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
In Shun's 14th year, from year 56 of cycle 60, 2221 BC, = 2207 BC = 2200 years before Jesus' birth:
"The brightness of the sun and moon is repeated from morn to morn." If this was like Jesus' birth 2200 years later, it would be on the 17th of the lunar month. Thus, the 17 day old moon would appear in the west with the rising sun in the east at the same time. Then if the sun moved 180° west, the moon should rise brilliantly in the east, followed by the sun.
Perhaps the wandering K'elins were the 5 visible planets moving against the background stars with the sun. Perhaps the sun had moved 180° in 1179 BC, and back in 1174 BC to make the two suns appear in the sky together and the five planet conjunction in Fang in the night May 22, 1195 BC. King Wan died in 1186 BC. Emperor Wu died in 1168 BC when Ching was a child. Tan duke of Chow acted as regent for 7 years to 1161 BC. Ching became emperor at the appearing of phoenixes in his 18th year from 1168 BC = 1150 BC.
"From being manifest, it becomes brilliant. Brilliant, it affects others."
The sun standing still in the sky is literally brilliant and affects the whole earth.
The sun standing still in the west = king Wan's dream = in his (King Wanting) 12th year (from 1250 BC = 1239 BC) phoenixes collected on mounr K'e. The two suns appeared together 1179 BC. Thus, king Wan lived nearly 100 years = 57 years old at king Wan's dream, in legend, from about 1286 BC - 1186 BC.
"King Wan was like the sun or the moon. He lightened with his shining the four quarters, -- the western regions." King Wan must have observed the long sunset of 12 hours of Joshua's long day from China, thus he would have been looking to the west where he would have finally seen the sun set and when the stars appeared see Jupiter and Saturn appear in Scorpius in the west before also setting.
Moon's far side: Pictures of the Moon
Moon's eastern edge: Two sides of the Moon
This image of the moon shows the rough far side on the left half.
In the middle you see the Eastern Sea on the border. The moon always shows the same side to earth because the moon rotates exactly 29.5 days the exact orbit of the moon. Thus, earth has never seen the other side of the moon, even in ancient times. Except perhaps during a sun miracle. That is, the other side of the moon never faces the earth, not even on a new moon when the same side as faces the earth on a full moon is lit by earth shine.
3D Java applet of the Moon - turn the moon and see the far side.
Notice the far side of the moon coming into view. If the moon could not be immediately rotated during a sun miracle, earth would see the far side of the moon.
2315 BC may be the start of Emperor Yao and Joseph as governor over Egypt. Joseph was governor beginning the seven years of plenty. Then the unicorn, sun angel, appeared in Yao's seventh year, perhaps to mark the seven years of famine in Egypt from 2308 BC. 2315 BC is 41 years later than the assigned date of 2356 BC. Then if all the chronology is correct back from Yao, we may simply subtract 41 years.
Thus, Huangdi's first year was assigned to 2697 BC - 41 years = 2657 BC = the same 340 years from Huangdi to Yao. 2697 BC - 2356 BC corrected 2657 BC to 2315 BC. Then the sun miracle in Huangdi's 50th year was in 2607 BC = Abraham's birth, phoenixes appeared on day 57 of cycle 60 = October 18, 2607 BC = 2600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Huangdi's first year was 2657 BC. Huangdi started the 60 year 60 day count in his 20th year, from the new moon January 25, 2637 BC.
Then also, when the sun stood still for ten days in China and Yao was made emperor over China this corresponds to the first year of Joseph as governor over Egypt on the same, the full moon, April 2, 2315 BC date.
"Coming to the times of Yao, ten suns once appeared together, scorching the crops, killing trees and plants, so that the people had nothing to eat. Ferocious dragon like beasts, baboons with long teeth, monsters of the deep, gorillas or bears, great boars and pythons are hurtful to people. So Yao employed I to slay the baboons in the wastes of Ch'ou Hua and killed the monsters on the shore of the evil waters (of the barbarian north); be bound the evil beast that creates hurricanes in the marshes of Ch'ing Chiu; he shot the ten suns above and destroyed the dragon-like beast below; he cut down the python in T'ung Ting lake and captured the wild boars in the Mulberry forest."
Tao the Great Luminant. Page 88
The drought in China this year, 2022, caused lakes to be drained. Large fish with sharp teeth were found on the lake bottoms. The discovery terrified the people.
The people were delighted and placed Yao on the pedestal of the Son of Heaven (made him emperor, Yao means son of heaven.)."
"We are prepared to affirm that three of the men sent to the four borders of China could not have seen the stars, which occupied for the time being the equinoctial and solstitial points, culminating on the seasons named. E.G. the first part of Libra (beside Lupus next to Scorpius) could not seen culminating at nightfall, when the sun is in the first point of Cancer, for it must culminate at 6PM, where as the sun would not set in any part of China much before 7PM (summer) and the stars would not be visible for a half hour after sunset.
This last fact would stand equally at the equinoxes, of the observers seeing their culminating, unless, indeed the time of observation was several centuries later than the date usually assigned to Yaou (BC 2356 - 2255), so that the stars to be observed had ceased to be exactly in the solstitial co lure."
James Legge could make the calculation easily. He could test to see what stars currently appear first at the meridian at dark on the equinoxes and solstices in 1860. Precession then was accurately known to be 50.1" yearly, 1.4° per century. Then calculating precession 1.4° per century back, these stars of Yao's in 2315 BC would be some 10° west of the meridian when they first appeared on these seasons. The jade sighting tube Yao used was credited to be accurate to within 3° and this was done for all four seasons perhaps for several years, making the observation more accurate.
"Dr. Medhurst in his translation of the Shoo King has made the following note: 'If Cor Hydra culminated at sunset on the day of the vernal equinox in the time of Yaou, the constellation on the meridian at noon of that day must have been Pleiades in Taurus (perhaps the first written account of Pleiades other than perhaps Job 9:9).
Now as by retrocession of the equinoxes the stars of the zodiac go back a whole sign in 2000 years, it would take 4000 years for the sun to be in Pleiades at the time of the vernal equinox, which is about the time when Yaou is said to have flourished, and affords a strong confirmation of the truth of Chinese chronology. For Pleiades is 56° and one third from the point the ecliptic crossed the equinoctial A.D. 1800, and as the equinox travels backwards 50 seconds and one tenth per annum, it would take 4000 years for Pleiades to be in the zenith at noon on the vernal equinox." Pleiades transits directly above at 7PM on the vernal equinox March 20, 6000 AD !
Not even visible at April 11, 2315 BC before the sun sets at 6:20 PM! This observation had to do with the rising sun. This suggests the sun moved from Taurus to Scorpius April 2, 2315 BC. Then the sun would be in Virgo on the vernal equinox. However, there are four stars to Yao's canon, and the other three stars suggest the sun moved 180° October 1, 2315 BC.
Then if the sun was in Scorpius April 2, 2315 BC probably part of the bird constellation - Neaou, which the Pleiades is apart, should appear just after sunset in the meridian = spring and the resurrection.
James Legge knew these stars should appear much westward of the meridian and said: "could not have seen the stars, which occupied for the time being the equinoctial and solstitial points, culminating on the seasons named."
The perihelion of the sun, which has to do with earth's elliptical orbit, is 22,000 years. The sun is closest to the earth in January and is shifting - in 22,000 years it will have gone through all the months of the year and be at January again. Earth is farthest from the sun now July, 4 2008, the aphelion of the sun. Earth is nearest the sun, the perihelion of the sun, January 3, 2008. Earth's elliptical orbit must adjust when the sun moves the 180° to keep the same distance from the sun as it normally would have had.
Earth must receive the same intensity of light every day as it normally would have had.
Thus, the net missing time of 20 minutes is counted during the half orbit while earth is furthest from the sun.
Thus, a sun miracle must be when the earth is closest or furthest from the sun for there to be no need for a second half reverse orbit to counter missing time. The sun is closest to earth January 3 and furthest July 4 2008.
Monuments made to tell the seasons, winter and summer solstices and spring and autumn equinoxes, using the sun many thousands of years ago are just as accurate today. Such as at Newgrange built 3000 BC in Ireland. Or at Jebel Barkal, Pharaoh Taharqa's pyramid precisely aligns with the sunrise on ancient Egypt's New Year's Day. July 16, 700 BC Julian.
If you rotate earth around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic the relation between the sun and the earth remains the same. This is the precession of the equinoxes that completes a cycle every 26,000 years. Thus, in every case when the sun moved God moved the sun up or down on the other side of the earth to keep earth in the same season. This is like the earth turned on the perpendicular, to keep earth in the same season. Ancient monuments would tell the seasons correctly by the sun just as before. However, the passage of stars at certain times would not work in periods of earth orbit shifts.
Thus, constellations disappearing, shifting into the ocean with the sun moving 180° and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun, may appear like a perishing old earth and the new four stars marking the four seasons make for a new earth.
Precession takes 25,800 years to complete a wobble around the perpendicular. So, we know earth precesses 1.4° per century. And if the sun moves 180° before or after the equinox earth's orbit must shift forward or backward in precession. However, every day before or after means 2° earth must shift to keep in the same season. However, rather, the sun must have moved up or down after moving the 180° shifting earth's orbit. The sun must move up or down half a degree for every day before or after the equinox.
Then if Yao's stars could only have been visible 700 years after Yao then this is a 7 X 1.4° = 10° shift. 10°/2° = 5 days before the equinox. But this 2315 BC April 1 is 10 days before the spring equinox 2315 BC April 11 = 1400 years in forward precession, in 2315 BC would appear a 900 BC sky.
However, because the days before the equinox have a value of two.
If God moved the sun in at the winter solstice December 21, this is 90 days before the spring equinox March 21 = a globe of the earth would have to rotate 180° at the base to keep earth in the same season. 90 days = 180° = a day = two degrees.
Thus 2 X 10 days / 365 X 26000 = 1400 years more recent precession. 2300 BC would be like 900 BC in precession. Thus, there would be no mistake, these stars could only be visible in the equinoxes and solstices in a 900 BC sky.
Then Yao's long day may have been April 1, 2315 BC, 10 days back from the spring equinox in April 11. These dates in BC are Julian dates, Gregorian in AD. However, more likely the "several centuries later" is a minimum and possibly more than 1000 years are needed. If the sun moved 180° on March 31, 2315 BC and earth's orbit shifted 6°, immediately to keep in the same season, that is the same as earth shifting 1400 years in forward precession from the 2300 BC pole to the 900 BC pole.
However, this is not a pole shift. Yes, to move the sun to the other side of earth would require a pole shift to keep earth in the same season.
However, moving the sun up or down after moving the sun 180° to the other side of the earth would equal the plane of earth's orbit that does the same thing in keeping earth in the same season. Even moving the plane of earth's orbit simply moves the zodiac six months and in the same path of the zodiac as normal, only 180° away and moving in reverse.
Then Yao's stars in Yao's canon would have been first visible in the four seasons more than several centuries later to a 900 BC pole = orbit shift, to allow for their first visibility after dark.
Then the shift in 1400 years of precession. Move the sun 180° around earth at the summer or winter solstice. Then you will note earth has to shift 180° to keep in the same season. Then you will see the solstice December 21 is 90 days from the equinox March 21. If the sun moved 180° at the equinox earth would not need to shift to keep in the same season. Then 90 days back from March 21 is equal to the sun moving 180°. Then earth must move 2 X 90° to keep in the same season.
10 days of 365 days = 10° of 360°. 2 X 10° = 20/360 X 26000 years = 1400 years. This would mean the sun must have moved 11 days before the spring equinox of April 11, 2315 on April 2, 2315 BC to make the stars appear 1400 years more recent and thus Yao's astronomers He and Ho be even able to see the four stars.
This because Yao began his year in Yao's Canon with the spring equinox immediately after the sun miracle to correctly determine the seasons whereupon he was made emperor. Shifting earth's orbit may do exactly the same thing. Earth must keep in the same season and seasons continue as if nothing had happened.
The equinox 800 BC was March 29. Then earth would be in a March 18, 800 BC season in our calendar. Even so the zodiac would be back to front and in reverse. Then the celestial ceiling of Pharaoh Seti I perhaps depicting theme from Joseph/Yao's long day from Pharaoh Unas, that is, the severed leg of the bull, may also depict this orbit shift.
"They had nudged the sun out of place, and now it was on the move, the universe was out of kilter and nothing, nothing - days, months or years, the rising or setting of stars - was going to fall into its rightful place any more."
Hamlets Mill, p.154.
The Dendura ceiling depicts people marching against the procession of the zodiac. Yes, the Egyptian calendar backed up one day every four years. However, when earth was in a reverse orbit earth would pass in reverse against the zodiac. What was thought was depicted a solar eclipse March 7, 51 BC, may be a sun miracle.
Here you can see men walking against the progression of the zodiac in the Dendera zodiac. The drawing is a little more clear. Normally the zodiac revolves clockwise. But here we see men walking against the direction of the clockwise zodiac:
Likewise, Senmut's celestial ceiling may depict a sun miracle.
Here you see Horus slay Seth the Bull of Heaven, in the Senenmut Celestial Ceiling from 1500 BC, from Wikipedia. You can see the three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper. The third star may be Arcturus in red at the end of the handle of the Big Dipper.
From Seti I the celestial ceiling the severed Leg of the Bull is being measured:
The date of 1534 BC for the planetary conjunction + 71 years before the queen Hat Shepsu to Ah Meses of the 18th dynasty 1605 BC plus the 76 years further back the Egyptian chronology, gives Ah Meses' first year 1681 BC. The panetary conjunction may instead have been God moving the planets out of the way of the sun.
Back 76 years from 1534 BC is 1610 BC. Three years for rounding is 1607 BC.
There were 71 years from Ahmose' first year in 1681 BC to queen Hat Shepsu in 1610 BC. Then there was a 76 year correction to the Egyptian chronology = Pharaoh Merneptah died in 1281 BC = a correction of 76 years. Then there was a further 55 years missing from this 1610 BC to Pharaoh Aten Ahket in 1414 BC.
Here you can see the sun and new moon and planets in conjunction. Mars is near the sun and may not have been visible. All three outer planets may be moved 180°. Mars must be moved because it is close to where the sun would be when moved to the other side of the earth.
Jupiter is in Taurus beside Sirius. The celestial ceiling is centered on Sirius. Before the planets moved back, Saturn, Mercury and Venus would appear by Sirius. Moving all the planets 180° means Jupiter and Saturn would swap places. So only Mars may not be visible as too close to the sun, as depicted on Senmut's celestial ceiling.
One year after the 17th day of the seventh month, October 1, 1607 BC = 1600 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC, the sun must return, October 2, 1606 BC.
Some suggest an alignment of the planets. In king Wan's dream the planets had a conjunction in Fang/Scorpius when they were moved ahead and out of the way of the sun when God moved the sun back February 5, 1239 BC. Similarly, this break in the 12 months may be at the end of March, when often God moved the sun about the time of the Passover.
Senmut must have ruled with Hatchepsut from about 1637 BC and died about 1593 BC = 130 years added to Ahmose I from 1550 BC back to 1681 BC. There may have been a sun miracle that was very remarkable.
In the Dendurah Zodiac is a similar slaying of the Bull of the Big Dipper.
"During the Old Kingdom (2649-2150 BC), the Big Dipper was a circumpolar star cluster - one that never dipped below the horizon."
Archaeology magazine. March/April 2025. p.28
That is, the sun being moved to the other side of the earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun and a shift in the precession of the equinoxes.
Unless the sun miracle was on the equinox - fall or spring, earth would be in a different part of the precession of the equinoxes = part of the Big Dipper would dip below the horizon.
Then, some of the stars that are part of the Big Dipper of the Bull would dip below the horizon. Osiris was murdered by his brother Seth. Seth = the Big Dipper, meaning the evil Seth could enter the underworld. Thus the fear of the Bull running amok.
Senmut ruled with the Pharaoh Hatshepsut 22 years - 1512 BC or 1479 BC. Dates corrected 76 years further back, 1588 BC to 1566 BC, or 1555 BC to 1525 BC. Thus, Senmut's celestial ceiling may depict a sun miracle in 1568 BC or 1545 BC that would point to Jesus.
There are 12 circles; 8 to the right, 4 to the left, feast days on the twelve months of the zodiac.
There are three seasons of 120 days = 4 months a season.
The division of 4 and 8 may be on the day the sun was moved to the other side of earth. The three seasons of four months each. One season for winter, two for spring and summer. Thus, the leg of the Bull = the pole region, running amok because the sun was in the zodiac constellation 6 months away and progressing in reverse.
Also, the sun moving to the other side of the earth moved the precession of the equinoxes. Such as Yao's long day 10 days before the spring equinox - on the Passover and Egyptian new years, April 1, 2315 BC to the spring equinox April 10, 2315 BC - moved precession 20° = 1400 years more recent. This would result in some of the stars of Seth, of the Big Dipper, to drop below the horizon - thus the need to chain the leg of the Bull of Heaven.
The precession of the equinoxes takes 26,000 years to complete a circle, but could move to any amount at any time when God moved the sun to the other side of the earth.
"in the seventh month of the eighth year of Kao-hou the exalted empress Kao-hou passed away."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.145.
The seventh month was August of 180 BC. There was a parial solar eclipse visible from China at sunset on August 17, 180 BC.
Emperor Wen changed his regal year of 17 in 164 BC to his first year because the sun rose to the meridian twice in one day in China on Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC. Thus, there may be patterns of 17 years:
"The August Emperor Wen the Filial reigned from 180 BC - 157 BC."
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.175.
"Shih-chi records another "magical performance" by Hsin-yuan P'ing. After the sun had risen to the meridian once, he told the emperor, "I expect the sun to rise to the meridian twice [in one day.]" After a while, the sun really rose to the meridian again. Liang Yu-sheng argues it was this incident that made Emperor Wen to change the calendar.
"Since Emperor Wen changed his seventeenth year to his first year, historians have called the following years "the latter reign period"
The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.175-176.
The emperor of China, Seaou-Keah - named Kaou, died in his 17th year, in this 1606 BC, perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle.
The sun miracle of Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC so impressed the Chinese emperor Wen - the sun rose in the west to the meridian on China, he began his regnal count of 17 years, to year one. The meridian is the north - south line through the middle of the sky.
Joseph born in 2345 BC was 17 when he was sold by his brothers into Egypt.
Each of the 12 circles is divided by 24 = 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. 10 hours in the sun dial, plus one hour twilight before dawn, and one hour twilight after sunset = 12 hours. The man with the spear may be Orion aiming his spear to Sirius or Arcturus the Herdsman aiming his spear at the pole star, perhaps Deneb. The leg of the bull out of position is the zodiac and earth's orbit in reverse.
Genesis 41:8 "And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh."
An afternoon sun in China woud be a morning sun in Egypt. Thus, if the sun stood still for 9 X 12 hours, whereupon Yao employed Yi to shoot at the sun 9 times, whereupon the sun moved again. Thus, Pharaoh Unas may have been troubled by the sun standing still in the morning and called for interpreters of his dreams. Pharaoh Unas had a reign of 30 years. This was mistakenly 2375 BC - 2345 BC. Because the end of the sothis cycle was 1281 BC and not 1321 BC, all Egyptian dates must move forward 40 years. Thus, Pharaoh Unas must reign from 2335 BC to the second year of famine in 2305 BC:
Genesis 47:8 "And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."
Lonnie Thompson, professor of geological sciences at Ohio State found a layer containing dust in a 4000 year old ice core taken from Mount Kilimanjaro, at the head waters of the Nile. This may be the seven years of famine in Egypt, 2309 BC - 2302 BC. Thus, the ice core must be 4,300 years old. Thus, there were 300 years of drought beginning with 2308 BC in the 430th Egyptian sothis year from 2737 BC.
Mysterious Stone Structure Discovered beneath Sea of Galilee is dated to before 2000 BC. Thus, this city could have been constructed from the drought of 2307 BC, the seven years of famine, when Jacob went down into Egypt when the Galilee Sea would be very low.
Similarily, Okanagan Lake, BC, Canada, was 25 feet lower for many centuries.
Pestiaux et al. 1988, analyzed foraminifera from four Indian Ocean cores with high sedimentation rates. Spectral power was resolved into quasi-periodicities within 3 energy bands: 10,200 +- 1200 year, 4600 +- 300 year, and 2300 +- 200 year. Thus, back 4600 years is 2600 BC and the birth of Abraham.
The equinox in 2315 BC was April 12. Thus, the four stars He and Ho used to mark the four seasons that reverse orbit year, were 11 days or 1400 years of precession of the equinoxes out. This because the path of the sun through the zodiac must shift these same 11 days during the reverse orbit of earth that year from April 1, 2315 BC. Yu appears to have reigned from 2107 BC, or the same year of cycle of 60 - 60 years earlier 2169 BC = the same 49th of cycle as given in the Chinese Classics working back from year 55 of cycle 60 in 720 BC.
Then in the second year of famine in Egypt is April 1, 2307 BC when Jacob and his sons entered Egypt to sojourn, for 1026 years.
The year Jacob and the children of Israel entered Egypt in the 430th year sothis is the year beginning April 1, 2307 BC. The year had backed up 107 days from July 16, 2737 BC. 430 years divided by four = 107 days.
Huangdi was China's first recorded emperor. It was said he started counting the years in cycles of 60. Some suggested this began in his 60th year, thus with 2636 BC. Yes, I agree he began his 60 year cycle in 2636 BC, but in his 20th year. In Huangdi's 20th year:
"When he was sitting in a boat in the Yuen-hoo, above its junction with the Lo, there came together phoenixes, male and female."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part 1.
The moon passed the sun on day one of cycle 60 in year 1 of cycle 60, January 26, 2636 BC. Thus, the sun and moon were together as were the sun phoenix and the moon phoenix. Thus, the cycle 60 year calendar and the cycle 60 day calendar started January 26, 2636 BC on the sun miracle that day.
Huangdi's first year would be 2657 BC, would be when Abraham's father Terah was about 18, if Terah was about 70 when he had Abraham. Terah born 2676 BC about 70 years before Abraham born in 2607 BC, was about 19 in Huangdi's first year and sun miracle, 2657 BC. 18 is about the age of Joseph when he was sold into Egypt. 18 is about the age of David when he slew Goliath. 18 is about the age when a young person can responsibly make a stand for Christ.
Then the sun miracle in Huangdi's 20th year would be this January 26, 2636 BC. Then Terah would be about 40 in 2636 BC. Jesus was almost 39 years old when he was crucified in 33 AD.
John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen."
Abraham would have offered up Isaac Friday, February 16, 2468 BC. Or Tuesday the third day of the week the full moon February 13, 2468 BC - the sun returning the same date one year later, day 6 of cycle 60, on February 13, 2467 BC. Or the sun moved Friday, April 13, 2468 BC, on the 14th day of the lunar month, the sun returning one year later on day 6 of cycle 60, April 15, 2467 BC - the spring equinox April 3, 2467 BC. The Passover was to occur on the spring equinox as it did March 31, 1281 BC.
In this Julian calendar the equinox moves one day back every 125 years. Since 1 AD our Gregorian calendar keeps pace with the equinox always on March 21. When Isaac was 38 and a half years old from September 23, 2507 BC.
Day 6 of cycle 60 is April 15, 2467 BC. The new moon is April 17, 2467 BC. So a rounding error of one or two days. The full moon is April 2, 2467 BC. 2467 / 128 = 20 days. Spring is 20 days after March 21 = April 10, 2467 BC. 2467 BC is the 49 year jubile, two more jubiles to 2369 BC, all the way to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Year 13 of cycle 60 can be 2503 BC or 2444 BC.
The first year of emperor Chuen-Heuh must be 2515 BC = a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice on April 3, 33 AD. 2503 BC + 13 years = 2515 BC. 2503 BC both a 13th year of cycle 60 and 13th year of reign. Thus, possibly there was a sun miracle then for an omen for Chuen-Heuh to become emperor, and this 2515 BC also be the first year, the keatze year, of cycle 60 = a further omen to become emperor.
The future Passover in March, perhaps the sun darkened, like as it was when Jesus was on the cross at noon = sun set in China. The year began in spring, February/March in China. Thus, a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice.
From Chuen-Heuh in 2515 BC are 200 years to Yao in 2315 BC, and Yao's long day of 9 suns = the sun stood still for 9 days on the full moon, April 2, 2315 BC, on what would become the Passover April 3, 33 AD.
Here you see the new moon, February 25, 2503 BC:
Here you see a 5 planet conjunction that was recorded by Chuen-Heuh in his first year:
The five planet conjunction may have been a sun miracle, just like it was for king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC = the planets moved out of the way of the sun and moved back.
There may have been a sun miracle in 2507 BC that prompted emperor Chuen-Heuh to invent calendaric calculations and delineations of the heavenly bodies in 2503 BC.
The season of spring in China was counted from 45 days before the spring equinox to 45 days after the spring equinox. The year 2500 / 128 = 19 days. The spring equinox in 2503 BC would be 19 days further than our March 20 in our Gregorian calendar, to April 9, 2503 BC.
February 25 Julian becomes February 6 Gregorian = 45 days to March 20. Thus, February 25, 2503 BC is both the new moon and first day of spring = the perfect day for counting.
From 2515 BC year 13 of cycle 60 is 2503 BC, the new moon Friday, February 25, 2503 BC is day 8 of cycle 60; Monday, April 25, 2503 BC is day 7 of cycle 60. Thus, the original 2503 BC stays.
From 2456 BC year 11 of cycle 60, day 6 of cycle 60, is the new moon, Friday, February 24, 2446 BC. There are 200 years from Huangdi in 2656 BC to 2456 BC. From 2445 BC to 2407 BC are 38 years. Year 11 is close to year 13, is year 13 counting from 2458 BC, and the calendar is from day 6 of cycle 60, February 24, 2446 BC.
Isaac would be 38 in 2469 BC from his birth in 2507 BC. 2501 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Sunday, April 23, 2469 BC was the full moon. Sunday is the third day from Friday. Or like Hezekiah the Passover was Sunday, March 31, 703 BC and the third day was Tuesday, April 2, 703 BC. The full moon and Passover Sunday, April 23, 2469 BC, and the third day, Tuesday, April 25, 2469 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 51 X 49 = 2499 years or 50 X 50 = 2500 years.
Genesis 17:21 "But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."
Genesis 18:1 "And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;"
Genesis 18:10 "And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son."
The Book of Jubilees gives Isaac's birth in the third month, about May or about Pentecost. Nevertheless, this set time for Isaac's birth may be the 17th day of the 7th month like as it was for Abraham.
From 2469 BC divided by 128 years, to get correct the calendar to the equinox = 19 days. Then from our spring on March 21 19 more days are April 10. Jesus went to the cross April 3, 33 AD which was 14 days after the new moon and spring equinox March 21, 33 AD. Then, April 23, 2469 BC is also 14 days after the spring equinox April 10, 2469 BC.
Hebrews 11:17 "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure."
Genesis 22:4 "Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off."
Sunday, April 23, 2469 BC was the full moon. Saturday, March 25, 2469 BC was the full moon. Jesus was crucified on the full moon. 2469 BC / 128 = 20 days the calendar backed up in the Julian calendar we use up to 1 AD. April 23, 2469 BC = April 3, 33 AD.
Genesis 22:5 "And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."
"I and the lad" the Hebrew word for lad is young man. In the next chapter Sarah dies at the age of 127 years, and Isaac born when she was 90 = Isaac about 38 years old. Abraham would be 138 years old and Isaac a young man in comparison. Abraham went to offer up his son = the age of Jesus, thirty-eight years, Jesus born in September 7 BC and crucified in April 3, 33 AD.
Genesis 22:13 "And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram (one ram) caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son."
The Hebrew originally may have read "one" ram. According to the Leningrad Codex letters were sometimes inserted in the Bible text. Thus a letter may have been inserted to correct the spelling from a ram to one ram = Jesus one sacrifice.
Luke 24:46 "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:"
Sunday, April 23, 2469 BC should be April 3 in our Gregorian calendar, because the Julian calendar did not keep up to the seasons. 2469 years / 128 = 20 days. The year is 365.24 days not the Julian calendar 365.25 days long. Thus, if there was a sun miracle April 23, 2469 BC, this would equal the April 3, 33 AD when Jesus would be crucified.
Thursday April 12, 2468 BC was the full moon. 20 days further back over 2469 years, April 12, 2468 BC = the spring equinox March 22, 1 AD, and March 22, 33 AD = the Exodus on the spring equinox Friday, March 30, 1281 BC.
Isaac would be 38 years old, the same year his mother died, 2469 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD = Abraham 138 years old. Abraham lived the same 38 years of Jesus' life again from 138 years old to 175 years old.
Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen."
Isaiah 53:11 "Out of the travail of his soul he shall see light, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."
Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
The sixth hour is the sixth hour of the day = 12 PM. Over all the land must mean over all the earth. There is only one sun.
This event on day 6 of cycle 60 was to have taken place in his 13th year when the Chinese emperor Chuen-Heuh invented calendric calculations.
Chuen-Heuh's first year may have been 2515 BC = 200 years to the first year of emperor Yao.
He died in his 78th year, 2438 BC = year 78 of cycle 60, that is year 18 of cycle 60. From 2437 BC less 122 years to Yao in 2315 BC. 2315 BC is year 21 of cycle 60 = the same year twenty of cycle sixty.
From the Egyptian sothis in 2737 BC are 300 years to 2437 BC.
"in his 13th year he invented calendric calculations and delineations of the heavenly bodies."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.110.
Yao also made calendric calculations when he sent He and Ho the four directions when he became emperor when the sun stood still for nine days. The Han emperor in 206 BC also sent to the four directions.
Genesis 23:1 "And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah."
Sarah was about 90 when Isaac was born. Thus, Isaac would be about 38 when Abraham went to offer him up when Sarah died at 127 years.
"The Hong fan zhuan says: 'Calendrical records began with Emperor Zhuan Xu's Superiour Epoch of Grand Commencement in the year yanmeng shetige, in the month bizou, on the new moon day jisi [6], the Beginning of Spring, when the seven luminaries gathered at the fifth du of YINGSHI [LM 13].“ [Xin Tang shu], ch. 27.
Day 8 or day 6, February 25, 2503 BC is like year 103 BC - year 13 of cycle 60, from 2636 BC.
103 BC = yenfung shet'ekih = yanmeng shetige = year 13 of cycle 60 = 2503 BC.
Thus, the year 103 BC is the same year 13 as the year 2503 BC was the year 13, counting 60 year cycles from 2636 BC.
The first year of cyce 60, from 2636 BC is 2516 BC, is both a keatze year, year one of cycle 60, and a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Genesis 21:8 "And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking."
The year of a child when weaned is three years old. Isaac born in 2507 BC would be three or four years old in 2503 BC.
February 15, 2467 BC, the new moon on day 6 of cycle; 2500 years from the full moon February 15, 2468 BC before the full moon April 3, 33 AD.
Spring in 2467 BC is 2500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Isaac being 38 years old in 2469 BC when Abraham went to offer him up in sacrifice - Jesus would be 38 years old when he gave his life April 3, 33 AD.
The seven luminaries includes the five planets as well as the sun and moon. Thus, a planetary conjunction is suggested. Most likely God moved the sun and moon, and in moving the planets out of the way of the sun, the five planets may have appeared in conjunction.
Genesis 24:67 "And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."
This verse 24:67 could be turned into also the correct date. The next verse should be 24:68 but is 25:1. Abraham went to offer up Isaac about the time Sarah died at 127 years, Sarah was about 90 when Isaac was born. Thus, 37+ years, 127 - 90 years, from 2507 BC Abraham born in 2607 BC and Isaac born in Abraham's 100th year 2507 BC, + 38 years = 2468 BC, like verse number 24:68.
"The Hong fan zhuan says: 'Calendrical records began with Emperor Zhuan Xu's Superiour Epoch of Grand Commencement in the year yanmeng shetige, in the month bizou, on the new moon day jisi [6], the Beginning of Spring, when the seven luminaries gathered at the fifth du of YINGSHI [LM 13]."
[Xin Tang shu], ch. 27
Then the first year of Zhuan Xu must have been 2481 BC, 1200 years before the Exodus. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in 2481 BC whereupon Zhuan Xu became emperor.
This could be the sun returning one year after Abraham went to offer up Isaac. Thus, on the new moon on day 6, jisi, February 15, 2467 BC, in the lunar mansion 13 Pegasus. The flying horse of Pegasus may be named after one of the four beasts, that was like a horse, before the throne of God, both in Ezekiel and in Revelation.
The Uffington White Horse depicts a horse from ancient times in England. Horses were imagined to pull the sun up with their chariot. "But the beak shaped jaw is more like that of a dragon."
Strange Worlds Amazing Places, p.255
Thus, this horse / dragon may depict one of the four angels before God. Such as the Chinese unicorn.
Ezekiel 1:10 "As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle."
Revelation 4:7 "And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."
Thus, the four beasts may fly to the sun to move the sun to the other side of earth. This February 16 was 150 years before the Egyptian new year July 16 just as the Egyptian calendar had backed up 150 days in Armenian sothis year 600 in Noah's flood to Saturday, February 16, 3307 BC.
February 16, 1281 BC was the new moon a month and a half before the Exodus, March 30, 1281 BC. Abraham may have offered up Isaac 60 days later on the same day of 60, day 1 of 60 in China, Tuesday, April 16, 2468 BC, the third day of the week, or day 57 of cycle 60 Friday April 13, 2468 BC, about the time of the spring equinox.
If the sun was moved to the other side of earth at the equinox, earth would not need to shift = rather, the sun would not need to move up or down to keep in the same season. If the sun was moved on the perihelion or aphelion (nearest or furthest to the sun) of earth's orbit = a half orbit of 182 days, then there would be no net missing minutes either.
Then, earth could flow out of a reverse orbit of the sun in three and a half years = from August 10, 1241 BC to February 5, 1239 BC or three years = from February 4, 1242 BC to February 5, 1239 BC, without a trace, or any net missing time.
"two weeks, and then sealed ... all the constellations of heaven, sun, moon, and stars and Watchers"
Translation Of 1Q Genesis Apocryphon II-XIX
If the sun moved to the other side of earth "two weeks" before the flood on the 17th day of the second month, that would give 189 days to the 17th day of the seventh month. The half orbit should be 189 days rather than 182 days. By tradition, the sun rose in the west and set in the east seven days before the flood. Perhaps the sun rose in the west and set in the east "two weeks" before Noah's flood.
The sun moved February 9, 3307 BC, one week later Noah entered the ark, one week later the flood came.
If the sun returned one year later, it would also be two weeks before Noah stepped out of the ark. The two weeks can be before the flood or before Noah stepped out of the ark = the sun moved, six day moon February 9, 3307 BC, 17th day moon August 9, 3307 BC and 14th day moon = Passover = February 9, 3308 BC. Thus, the significance of two week equals the 14th day of the first month = the Passover = Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
If the fall equinox was on the perihelion, the three months to the winter solstice and the three months before the fall equinox would = half an orbit = about 178 days and the other half orbit = 187 days. In the days of Noah in 3307 BC this would be the case. Thus, the multiplication of the sped up reverse orbit would be different.
Earth was nearest the sun November 1, 3307 BC - to be nearest the sun January 3, 2000 AD. Precession of the equinoxes, Spring was April 20, 3307 BC to be March 21, 2000 AD. Both factors are needed to uncover the dates of sun miracles.
Thus, if the sun moved at the winter solstice in 3307 BC and returned half an orbit later at the summer solstice, that would equal 187 / 365 X 24 hours. That is 23 hours and 20 minutes of sped up time in that the slower half. And the other half orbit equal 24 hours and 40 minutes sped up time to total the 48 hours sped up time to leave no net missing time.
The spring equinox was April 20, 3307 BC. Then, from January 20 three months to April 20, and from April 20, three months to July 20. 186 days back from Armenian new years July 23 = January 15, 3307 BC, almost the same 150 days back, a 30 days more to half an orbit, = 600th year. 600 / 4 = 150 days. From the second month 10th day, Saturday, February 16, 3307 BC to the seventh month 17th day, August 17, 3307 BC = 182 days.
The seventh lunar month began on August 1, 3307 BC.
Thus, because the overlap of one month of the perihelion and the equinox, half an orbit should be this 182 days. 182 + 182 = 364 about the 365 days of the year.
The rising of Sirius July 16, 2447 BC at 4:06 AM at Cairo = the rising of Sirius July 20, 2447 BC at 4:08 AM at Mashad on the south coast of the Caspian Sea.
Thus a difference of four days = dates match Noah's flood at the Aral Sea in Genesis 6, 7 and 8.
Zion, where Abraham went to offer up Isaac, means sunny or bald. Thus, Abraham saw the bald mountain, zion = no shade, afar off. And thus perhaps Abraham experienced an hour of darkness at noon when he went to offer up Isaac Friday, April 13, 2468 B, and on the third day, Sunday, April 15, 2468 BC, there should be a sudden and brilliant sunrise at 8 PM in the east. Thus, the emphasis on "sunny".
Emperor Chuen-heuh reigned from 2515 BC: "In his 13th year he invented calendric calculations and delineations of the heavenly bodies." 13th year = 2468 BC.
Then there should have been a sun miracle in this 13th year, the planets moving out of the way of the sun in a conjunction. Then he sought to start the new year in February at the same time.
Then Yao's long day to begin his first year was also Joseph's long day to begin Joseph's first year as governor over Egypt in 2315 BC.
Then Isaac had Esau and Jacob in his 69th year, adding 9 years, in 2437 BC. 2437 BC was Sothis year 300 from 2737 BC.
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, may have been born on a Sothis year 300, 3607 BC, living 65 years when God took him in Sothis year 365 = a quarter Sothis cycle.
Enoch may have more likely been born the 17th or the 27th from Adam.
Jacob and Esau then would turn 40 in 2397 BC. It was when Esau was 40 he took two Hittite wives.
There may have been a sun miracle to show God's displeasure, and the Chinese may have taken it as an omen.
Genesis 26:34 "And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beer-i the Hittite, and Bath-e-math the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekkah."
Perhaps emperor Kuh reigned from this 2397 BC 70 years to 2327 BC = the death of Isaac. Ishmael died at 137 years in 2383 BC. Isaac would be 110 years old in 2397 BC, perhaps Kuh's first year as emperor, and 147 years old when he blessed Jacob and Esau. Jacob left Canaan and arrived at Haran about 2368 BC when he was 70 years old. The lambs Rebecca prepared for Jacob and Isaac were a type of the Passover lamb. In 2362 BC Isaac was 147 years old.
In emperor Kuh's 16th year, about 2381 BC = 1100 years before the Exodus in 1281 BC, "he made Ch'ung lead an army, and extinguished the state of Yew-kwae." Rebellion was often brought about by the sign of a sun miracle.
Then in 2327 BC emperor Kuh died when Isaac died at 180 years of age. Thus, a sun miracle the year Isaac died and the Chinese may have deposed their emperor. Isaac must have died soon after Joseph was 17th years old. When Joseph was 17 he dreamed the sun and moon and eleven stars would bow down to him. At 17 Joseph was sold into Egypt, from 2345 BC, was 2328 BC.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle when Joseph was a slave in Egypt, perhaps when he was about 20 years old. This may have encouraged Joseph. Levi lived to 137 years and must have died 17 years after Joseph in 2217 BC.
Shun's first year may have been about 2217 BC. The patriarch Levi died at 137 years, probably in 2217 BC. Possibly there was a sun miracle in 2217 BC.
Exodus 6:16 "And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years."
The third child of Leah must have been born about 2355 BC. Jacob left for Haran in the 44th jubile from Adam in 2368 BC. Jacob laboured seven years for Rachel, but was given Leah. Thus, Leah's third child, Levi, must have been born about 14 years later, in 2355 BC. And thus Levi lived 137 years, to 2217 BC.
From the Armenian Sothis start date 5368 BC to Jacob in his 70th year, 2368 BC = 3000 years.
Baillie noted a climate change in tree rings in 2355 BC.
Shun may have begun his reign in 2217 BC at Yao's death in Yao's 100th year.
Note: "On his ascension the felicitous bean grew about the stairs, and phoenixes nested in the courts...A brilliant star came out in Fang."
The Chinese Classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.115
The 14th day of what would become the Passover month, began in March 29, 2217 BC. This would be about the time of year as of other sun miracles, such as Yao's long day, April 1, 2315 BC, and the Sojourn into Egypt, Friday, Aprl 1, 2307 BC. On March 29, 2217 BC the sun should be in Taurus. Thus, perhaps the sun had moved from or to Fang/Scorpius 180° away and the sun was the bright star in Fang, or leaving Fang there appeared a supernova in Fang.
In Shun's 14th year, 2204 BC, the Passover and Passover month would have been Friday April 5, 2204 BC. 2200 years later Herod would die by April 1, 4 BC and Joseph and Mary return to Nazareth with Jesus. What was described was: "The brightness of the sun and moon Is repeated from morn to morn." That may describe the brightness of the resurrection morning.
The sun rising in the west on China, then passing 180° west to soon rise in the east in China. Israel would see the sun set in the east, then rise brilliantly and suddenly in the east. Then this sun miracle perhaps occurring at the set time as in the resurrection week, Sunday April 7, 2204 BC. The spring equinox was April 10, 2200 BC. A sun miracle then and earth's reverse orbit would not need to shift to keep earth in the same season.
Yao reigned 100 years, Shun 50. Yao's first year was written as year 13 of cycle 60 which should be 2224 BC. Because of an overlap of a few years working backwards: Yu 2169 BC + 50 of Shun = 2219 BC (50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice 33 AD) + 100 of Yao = 2318 BC = 50 years to 2268 BC. 2318 BC, perhaps when Joseph was put in prison = more than two years = 2315 BC when Joseph came out of prison and was made governor over all Egypt, and when Jacob and Joseph's brothers came into Egypt in 2307 BC.
"After three years, Shun ascended the throne of the son of Heaven"
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.114
Then there may have been a sun miracle in 2218 BC, and three years later at Yao's 100th year Shun became emperor. A sun miracle in 2218 BC would point to 50 year jubiles to 18 BC + 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, 150 years back from Yu is 2315 BC. Then Yu's first year may be in cycle 49, 2167 BC. Then Shun's first year may be year one of cycle sixty, 2215 BC to year 50, of cycle 60, = 2166 BC.
Then the year of sixty would be correct from Shun all the way to Wu in 1174 BC with an ursurpation of 60 years in the Hea dynasty, perhaps near emperor Seang. Emperor Kin is recorded in year 42 of cycle 60, when it should be in year 6 of cycle 60. Thus, a further adjustment of 36 years would equal this 60 years usurpation.
A sun miracle to precede Shun's death in 2169 BC would be 2200 years before Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD. Then all the Bamboo years of cycle 60 are correct from Yu to Wu. If in year 30 of cycle, perhaps the eclipse of Chung-k'ang be in 2127 BC and be in the fifth day of the ninth lunar month in his fifth year = December 7, 2127 BC.
Or, one year earlier, the new moon December 12, 2128 BC. Solar eclipses csn only occur on a new moon. Although there was no solar eclipse then.
The pattern of Jesus' life given on the 49 year jubile April 3, 33 AD. Then, 2124 BC was a 49 year jubile. Then, Jesus' three and a half year ministry = 2128 BC to 2124 BC.
The same pattern of the temple desecration in 168 BC, and the sanctification of the temple on Hanukkah, December 12, 164 BC = December 12, 2128 BC. 164 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice, 4 X 49 = 196; 164 BC - 196 = 33 AD.
December 12, 2123 BC was the 25th day of the ninth month as was Hanukkah December 12, 164 BC.
This emperor Chung-K'ang, died in 2122 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
"His son Seang went away , and dwelt in Kang-k'ew, where he was supported by the prince of P'ie." A P'ei was a jade disc the emperor deposited in the river when there was a sun miracle.
Likewise emperor Te-sin reigned from 1227 BC, is like 2127 BC = X27 BC.
Genesis 6:3 "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
3427 BC was 120 years before Noah's flood in 3307 BC. There are many noteable dates ending in X27 BC.
Joseph was sold into Egypt when he was 17 in 2328 BC.
In his, Te-sin, fifth year there was a shower of earth in 1222 BC = 50 year jubiles to Jesus speaking from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4.
Here you can see a meteorite from China, possibly from one of these sun miracles. The sun moved to the other side of earth and meteor showers seen after sunset instead of after midnight.
"The Campo del cielo meteroite was a very large meteiorite fall, it is theorized to be a large piece that broke up when entering the atmosphere, some 4000 to 6000 years ago. Campo del cielo means field of the sky or heaven, which is a very appropriate name. This meteorite was first discovered in 1576, the meteorite fragments have been found over a large area, both inside and outside craters. Most Campo pieces come from Argentina, although some very recent finds suggest fragments may have been found as far away as Peru. This is one of the few iron meteorites. It has been studied extensively by many Universities and may also be found in several museum collections."
"This meteorite has a unique crystalization known as the Widmanstatten crystal structure. These lines are shown as a unique etched pattern on the the meteorite. This pattern is a result of the meteorite cooling in outer space over billions of years. Although not as finely detailed as other meteorites, these pieces still display this pattern when cut and etched with acid."
"As this meteorite is composed mostly of iron, care must be taken to prevent the piece from rusting."
This piece is 15 mm long.
Iron meteorites have the greatest consentration of gold.
From 6000 to 4000 years ago = the new Armenian Sothis calendar in 3907 BC to a few hundred years after Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC = between 4000 BC and 2000 BC. Sun miracles such as on Noah's flood and Abraham's birth may have sent meteorides into earth's atmosphere. The sun moving to the other side of the earth, and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun, would cause the earth to orbit against the lumps of meteorides not normally in the path of the earth.
From Joseph's dream in Genesis 37 in 2327 BC when he was 17 years old, is 200 years to this 2127 BC.
Genesis 37:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
The sun may have moved back 180° on the new moon October 13, 2128 BC on day 47 of cycle instead in the year 29th year of cycle. This was a new moon but not a solar eclipse. If not an eclipse on day 47 this must be a sun miracle. There is no solar eclipse in this time period on a day 47 of cycle 60. NASA has no exact match.
However, the total solar eclipse on October 22, 2137 BC visible in China is the date given by NASA.
This solar eclipse fixes the reign of Chung-Kang correctly from 2141 BC, his fifth year 2137 BC. Also, the years of reigns from Yu's first year in 2169 BC makes Chung Kang's fifth year 2137 BC.
Nevertheless, Chung-K'ang's first year in 2131 BC is the 26th of cycle 60 from 2636 BC. 2131 BC is 38 years from Yu 2169 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life.
From Yu in 2169 BC is 2200 years to Jesus' crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD.
Note: "From Hwang-te i to Yu were 30 generations. If this ever were really was in the Annals, much of them must be lost".
The Chinese Classics, the Dynasty of Hea, p.117.
Chung-K'ang at 26th of cycle, 1951 BC + 180 years, 3 X 60 years, = 2131 BC.
Chung-K'ang's first year in 2131 BC was 38 years after Yu in 2169 BC = the 38 years of Jesus' life. This is like emperor Ching's first year in 1168 BC when there was a sun miracle = sun and moon phoenixes, to emperor Ching's 35th year in 1132 BC. Jesus began his ministry when he was 35 September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
The solar eclipse on the new moon was on day 7 of cycle 60. Thus, the day may be 7 instead of 47. The day be geng wu = 7, instead of geng xu = 47.
"In his 1st year, which was ke-ch'ow (26th of cycle 60, = 1951 BC + 180 years = 2131 BC), when the emperor came to the throne, he dwelt in Chin-sin. In his 5th year, in the autumn, in the 9th month, on the day kang-seuh (47th of cycle 60), which is the first day of the month, there was an eclipse of the sun, when he ordered the prince of Yin to lead the emperial forces to punsh He and Ho."
The Chinese Classics, p.119.
Here you see this new moon on day 47, October 13, 2128 BC or 60 days later, December 12, 2128 BC. Counting from 2132 BC, instead of 2131 BC, this is the 5th year and the most likely match:
If 2137 BC = Chung-Kang's 5th year, his first year would be 2141 BC. Joshua conquered Palestine in 1241 BC 900 years later.
Day 47 ninth month of 2137 BC = the 7th day of the ninth lunar month = September 30 or November 30, 2137 BC. The darkness/eclipse on day 40 of cycle 60, September 7, 591 BC = the fall of Jerusalem, was also on the seventh day of the lunar month = the fifth lunar month = the total solar eclipse predicted of Thales in the battle of Halys in Turkey - not May 28, 585 BC, but the fifth month was September 7, 591 BC.
Chung-Kang ruled to his 7th year. The 28th year of his successor Seang; 2137 BC less 2 more years to Chung-Kangs's 7th year = 2135 BC less 28 years - the last recorded year of Seang = 2107 BC, the last recorded year. Then there is a 40 year gap of no history. There must be a 60 year gap - 20 more years, then all 60 year cycles after this gap do match.
October 13, 2128 BC or December 12, 2128 BC, is the new moon and the most likely match.
The next gap must be 120 years back from King Muh's first year in 968 BC to King Ch'aou's 19th year in 1088 BC. 19 years to King K'ang's last year 1107 BC = 1100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 24 years back to King Ching's last year 1133 BC. 37 years back to King Ching's first year 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Then Wu's six years to 1174 BC and the beginning of the Chow dynasty.
Samuel died about King Saul's 35th year, from 1124 BC = 1088 BC. There may have been a sun miracle then. The sun visible in China may have suddenly moved, plunging China into darkness.
There are 53 years from this 2107 BC to emperor Shaou-K'ang's 43rd of 60 (180 to 1874 BC - 2054 BC) He died in his 21st year. This should be his 24th year. The next emperor reigned from 6th of 60 (180 to 1851 BC - 2031 BC). Then the 53 years + 5 years (21st not 24th) = 58 years = actually match 60 years, the 60 year cycle, and the missing 60 years.
A sun miracle at the last recorded year may be taken as an omen that ended Seang's rule in 2107 BC. 2107 BC is 2100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
This early Chinese record is recognized that it may not be of a solar eclipse because of the terminology. Normally the Chinese would write that the sun was eaten not the Heavenly bodies did not meet harmoniously in the chamber.
Emperor Chung K'ang's first year may be 2131 BC or 2132 BC = 400 years to emperor Kin's last year when the sun stood still for 10 days 1732 BC. These 400 years are during the Sojourn of Israel in Egypt from 2307 BC to 1281 BC.
If in year 31 of cycle 60, day 47 of cycle 60 in the ninth month would be Sunday, September 28, 2125 BC, the 17th day of the seventh Hebrew month. The ark of Noah rested on the 17th day of the seventh month. A sun miracle on this date would point to Jesus' birth, the 17th day of the seventh month, about Sunday, September 13, 7 BC. This Julian calendar loses 1 day every 128 years. So, 2125 / 128 = 16. September 28 - 16 days = September 12, 7 BC in the actual tropical calendar.
The nearest eclipse according to NASA was October 22, 2136 BC on day 14 of cycle, year 1 of cycle, does not match any of the description. Then the sun must have moved 180° one year earlier, Hebrew lunar day 17, October 13, 2128 BC. The 17th day of the seventh Hebrew in Egypt lunar month may have represented the day Jesus would be born, the 17th day of the seventh month, September 13, 7 BC or September 12, 7 BC.
The fall equinox in 2128 BC was about October 9 which is 17 days later in the calendar than in 7 BC when it was September 22. This is because the Julian calendar used for dates Before Christ, has 365.25 days a year, and the Gregorian calendar that keeps step with the seasons is 365.24 days a year.
The eclipse, rather sun miracle noted on day 47, probably was not the new moon October 13, 2129 BC - there was no solar eclipse at that time even near those numbers.. Most likely this "solar eclipse" in a 30th year of cycle 60, was 60 years later the missing 60 years in Chinese emperor chronology being before this date. Sunday, October 4, 2069 BC was day 17 of the seventh Hebrew month and day 47 of cycle 60 in China. 2069 BC was 2100 years before Jesus' crucifixion in 33 AD.
Or the "fifth" then may refer to both the day of the lunar month and the year. Thus, this is a sun miracle not an eclipse on lunar day 5, day 47 of cycle 60, Sunday, October 8, 2127 BC.
"In his 5th year, in the autumn, in the 9th month, on the day kang-seuh (47 of cycle 60), which was the first day of the month, there was an eclipse of the sun, when he ordered the prince of Yin to lead the imperial forces to punish He and Ho."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.119
There are 120 years missing from 1088 BC to 965 BC.
There may be a further 60 year gap to emperor Chung-K'ang.
"In his first year, which was ke-ch'ow (26th of cycle 60)." = 1951 BC + 120 years = 2071 BC. His 5th year = 2068 BC. The 9th month from January, day 47 may be Monday, September 28, 2068 BC = the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month = Jesus' birth, September 12, 7 BC. 2068 years backs up one day in 128 years in the Julian calendar = 16 days to equal the tropical calendar such as our Gregorian calendar from 1 AD that keeps the day of the fall equinox, say September 22 the same day over thousands of years. September 12, 7 BC + 16 days = September 28, 2068 BC.
Thus, this darkness taken as a solar eclipse, "the day of the Lord is darkness" may be a type of Jesus' birth.
There is a 60 year gap in the reigns of Chinese emperors about 2000 BC. "Han-zhou" matches a 60 year gap from 2054 BC. However, if "Han-zhou" reigned before Chung-kang, Chung-kang's reign would be 60 years more recent. Thus, 60 years ahead from 2127 BC is 2068 BC. The Passover would be April 1, 2068 BC, the full moon. April 1, 2068 BC is day 47 of cycle 60. For the Passover, even in years before Moses while the children of Israel were in Egypt, to be a type of Jesus, there should be darkness at noon that day. The Chinese would see the sun just about to set, then sudden and complete darkness.
Thus, the beating of drums as is done on a total solar eclipse. There would be from one hour to three hours of darkness as there was when Jesus was on the cross.
Thus, this as well as many other sun miracles in years X68 BC, would point to Jesus' sacrifice yet to come.
The record states the new moon on the ninth month in autumn. Thus, day 47 of cycle 60, 180 days before April 1 is the ninth month, October 5, 2069 BC. Then the sun can move back again, half an orbit later, 180 days later, April 1, 2068 BC. If the sun was on the other side of earth, the sun would be in Scorpius, an autumn zodiac sign, one half orbit away from and on April 1, 2068 BC. Then the sun and moon may not meet harmoniously, as in a solar eclipse, because the sun and moon would be 180° apart.
Thus, April 1, 2068 BC was what would become the Passover, the 14th day of the 1st Hebrew month = day 47 of cycle 60 also. Perhaps a sun miracle of darkness such as the three hours of darkness at noon when Jesus was on the cross April 3, 33 AD = 2100 years later 2068 BC + 33 AD no year zero.
September 27, 2068 BC was day 47 of cycle 60, in the ninth month of autumn. The 30th year of cycle 60, that this sudden darkness was by legend, from 2636 BC was 2067 BC or autumn 2068 BC. Sunday, September 27, 2068 BC was also the 17th lunar day of the seventh Hebrew month. Jesus must have been born Sunday, September 13, 7 BC on the 17th day of the seventh Hebrew month. Sun miracles point to Christ.
Jesus must have been born in the 17th day of the seventh Hebrew month in keeping with the pattern of Noah's flood. God may have intended the sun miracles to point to Jesus' birth, ministry and sacrifice.
The astronomers He and Ho who were executed for not foretelling this omen of darkness were placed in Perseus. The sun would normally be in Scorpius in autumn in 2127 BC or in 2068 BC. Perseus was 180° away and near the pole star position. Thus, the sun may have moved to or from Perseus. Also, as in the sun miracle, on the new moon, the sun and moon were in the polar region February 11, 141 BC.
A sun miracle near winter or summer and the sun would have to move up or down to keep earth in the same season. If you have globe of the earth, you can put your hand by the north pole. Now move your hand 180°. To keep earth in the same season you would have to turn the base of the earth 180°. So the sun moving 180° 90 days before the spring equinox means 2 X 90 in days in an earth shift to keep earth in the same season. Earth did not shift, the sun shifted six months into the zodiac at the same plane of the zodiac to keep earth in the same season.
"the very last chapter of Mencius, where the philosopher says that 'from Yaou and Shun to T'ang, a perioud including all the dynasty of Hea - were 500 years and more; that from T'ang to king Wan - the period of the Shang dynasty - were 500 years and more"
The Chinese Classics III, p. 84.
"When Mencius had left Ch'i, Yin Shih spoke about him to others, saying, 'If he did not know that the king could not be made a T'ang or a Wu, that showed his want of intelligence. If he knew he could not be made such, and came notwithstanding, that shows he was seeking his own benefit.."
The Chinese Classics, Art of War, Analects of Confucius, chapter 8.
T'ang became emperor in 1677 BC, just after the Exodus from Egypt in 1681 BC; "When T'ang was about to put Kee away, in reverence of the command of Heaven, he dreamed that he went to the sky, and licked it" p.129. Wu became emperor in 1174 BC also the same year of a sun miracle = "the bright appointment of Heaven". p144.
In T'ang's 19th year, there was a great drought, of seven years = 1657 BC to 1650 BC. About the time when Ahmose I, in the the 18th dynasty, became Pharaoh of Egypt, and the 400 years of slavery of the Hebrews began. Note: see the prayer of T'ang, from Mih-tsze, in the proleg. to Mencius, pp.116,117. This 1657 BC = 1650 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC = 33 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
This 1657 = 1000 years from the sun miracle in Huangdi's first year 2657 BC. There were seven years of famine from 2308 BC both in Egypt and China, perhaps alternatively. Thus, also 50 year jubiles can be counted from the second year of drought in Egypt in 2307 BC = 46 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
There were about 500 years for the Shang dynasty. From 1677 BC to 1174 BC = 503 years.
"From the extinction of Hea by T'ang to Show were 29 kings, and 496 years."
The Chinese Classics
Thus a difference in the Shang dynasty of only 7 years.
"From Yu to Kee were 17 reigns. Calculating reigns and interregnums, the dynasty lasted 471 years."
The Chinese Classics
From Yu in 2169 BC to Shang in 1677 BC are 491 years.
Thus a difference in the Hea dynasty of only 20 years, from 471 years to 491 years.
From year jin-tze 49th of cycle 60, 1989 BC + 180 years = 3 X 60 years = 2169 BC; to year kwei-hae 60th of cycle 60, 1557 BC + 120 years = 2 X 60 years, 1677 BC.
From year kwei-hae 60th of cycle 60, 1557 BC + 120 years = 2 X 60 years, 1677 BC; to year sin-maou 28th of cycle 60, 1049 BC + 120 years = 2 X 60 years, + 5 years because Wu reigned 6 years yes, but from 1174 BC to 1168 BC to Ching.
Here you see 490 years for Hea instead of the 470 in the Chinese Classics, from 2169 BC to 1680 BC / 1677 BC. There was 10 X 49 year jubiles from 2173 BC to 1683 BC.
"In his (Te-sin) 48th year the E-goat was seen."
The Chinese Classics
Back from emperor Wu in 1174 BC six or seven years is 1181 BC = 100 years from the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC.
Sun miracles marking the beginning and ending of Hea marking 7 times 70 years.
From Yu in 2169 BC a sun miracle 2200 years before Jesus' sacrifice to the death of Kwei and the rise of the Shang dynasty of T'ang in 1678 BC = 400 years to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
Likewise, in the Chinese Classics there is reference to a missing 60 or 120 years between Emperor Wu, in 1174 BC, and the first confirmed eclipse date of 776 BC in the Bamboo Books. "The day dawned twice" in 894 BC the first year of King E should be 894 BC, the third year of cycle 60.
The solar eclipse, ninth year = August 24, 897 BC; 12th year 894 BC = King E's first year. His ninth year the solar eclipse April 21, 899 BC, his 12th year 896 BC. 894 BC the third year of cycle 60 a sun miracle, "the day dawned twice at Zheng". So we are missing 120 years = 2 X 60.
We have 88 years from emperor Wu to Ch'aou, 1174 - 1086 BC. Then a blank space of 120 years from 1086 BC to 967 BC. Because this is exactly 120 years, 2 X 60; the dates given in year of cycle may be correct. Just we are missing exactly 120 years.
The Shang dynasty back from Wu in 1174 BC the 508 years in the Bamboo Books we start at 1682 BC which is exactly 400 years before the Exodus of the Hebrews out of Egypt in 1281 BC. Then there would be 490 years for the dynasty of Hea. The both together make 508 years + 490 years = 1000 years for both the end of the Hea dynasty and the beginning of the Shang dynasty. The Chinese Classics estimates the Hea dynasty at 470 years. Then including Han-zhou, who is mentioned in the Common chronology but not the Bamboo chronology, at 60 years not 40 years, the entire chronology works.
Moreover, 507 BC + 490 + 490 + 490 + 490 = 2467 BC = 2500 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. 2467 BC = Jacob at 70 years old at the 44th 50 year jubile from Adam in Armenian sothis year 800 = 4568 BC = 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Back from Jesus' sacrifice 33 AD 49 years to 17 BC, back 490 years to 507 BC. 507 BC is 500 years to Jesus' birth in September 12, 7 BC.
507 BC + 490 years = 997 BC = the 5th year of Rehoboam. 997 BC + 490 years = 1487 BC + 490 years = 1977 BC. Joseph and Yao at 2315 BC - 1977 BC = 338 years, 300 + the 38 years of Jesus' life. 1977 BC = the first year of Shaou-K'ang "the princes came to court to do homage". 1977 BC + 490 years = 2467 BC; or 1977 + 490 - 49 - 49 = 2368 BC; Jacob is 70 at the 44th jubile 2368 BC = 2400 years to Jesus' sacrifice = 50 more jubiles of 50 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Huangdi 100 years. Shao hao 77 years. Zhuan xu 77 years. Di ku 77 years. 2 X Jesus' life span of 38 and a half years = half a life span, a full life span = 77 years. China changed emperor's often when there was a sun miracle because they feared the omen. Thus, these 77 year reigns may be marked by sun miracles.

Here you see many matches of the begin dates to the reigns of the Chinese emperors to Jesus. Most probably the Chinese changed emperors when there was a sun miracle. Often God used sun miracles to point to his Son Jesus: Hundreds of years before his birth in 7 BC. Hundreds of years before his crucifixion in 33 AD: X68 BC.
From the solar eclipse in 776 BC correctly recorded the fifth year of Yew, we are sure we have the correct date. Then working backwards involves a bit of speculation. There was a comet recorded in Ch'aou's 19th year which could be comet Halley in 1022 BC. Thus, the usurpation of 60 years. Then again a usurpation before we get back to Ching. There were no more 60 year usurpations to Han-zhou in 2054 BC. Then back from Yu there were 490 years to the first year of Huangdi in 2657 BC.
Sometime after King Yu from 2169 BC to Shang in 1677 BC there was a 60 year usurpation.
Sometime after King Ch'aou's death in 1087 BC to King Muh in 965 BC is two 60 year usurpations.
Then there are the 508 years of Shang, just as the Bamboo Books state, from 1174 BC to 1682 BC and the beginning of the 400 years of Hebrew slavery in Egypt. At that time two suns fought together and there was an earthquake. Then there was a new dynasty of Shang in China. The dynasty of Hea would then be 60 more years and be 490 years not 431 years from Yu in 2167 BC to T'ang in 1677 BC. Emperor Sean from 35th of cycle 60 to emperor Shaou-Kang 43d of cycle. Sean at 28 years, added 40 years to Shaou-K'ang.
Then the sun miracle in the eighth year of Kin where the sun stood in the sky for 10 days be 1732 BC and perhaps be a jubile year for the Hebrews in Egypt before the 400 years slavery. That is in 50 year cycles we come to the Exodus in 1281 BC when the children of Israel were expected to go up and conquer the promised land. 50 year cycles back are 1731 BC.
Then a sun miracle in Kwei's tenth year, about 1700 BC, when the five planets went out of course. This also perhaps being a prelude to the 400 years slavery.
April 1, 2315 BC: Chinese emperor Yao recorded "the sun did not set for 10 days".
This quote is commonly associated with Joshua. Realistically, Yao lived 1000 years earlier, so this must be something else:
Yao was made emperor right after he smote the 10 suns whereupon he recorded his seasons. That is, the sun stood still in the sky in China so he hired an archer to shoot at it 9 times and refrained and the sun proceeded as normal. Joseph was made governor over Egypt April 1, 2315 BC on Pharaoh's birthday, when began the seven years of plenty. April 1, 2315 BC was day 10 of cycle 60.
There was a unicorn in Yao's seventh year. At the seventh year of plenty in Eygpt there was a famine also for seven years. In Yao's 70th year there were phoenixes. If Yao's first year was Joseph's first year, then Joseph would be 100 in Yao's 70th year.
"Coming to the times of Yao, ten suns once appeared together, scorching the crops, killing trees and plants, so that the people had nothing to eat. Ferocious dragon like beasts, baboons with long teeth, monsters of the deep, gorillas or bears, great boars and pythons are hurtful to people. So Yao employed I to slay the baboons in the wastes of Ch'ou Hua and killed the monsters on the shore of the evil waters (of the barbarian north); be bound the evil beast that creates hurricanes in the marshes of Ch'ing Chiu; he shot the ten suns above and destroyed the dragon-like beast below; he cut down the python in T'ung Ting lake and captured the wild boars in the Mulberry forest.
Tao the Great Luminant, page 88:
The people were delighted and placed Yao on the pedestal of the Son of Heaven (made him emperor, Yao means important like emperor or like the search engine name Yahoo.)."
This may describe the change of weather after the sun moved 180° and earth flowed into a reverse orbit. The drought and resulting fire would force out snakes and wild animals. The sun must move back half a year or up to two years later depending on the length of time the sun stood still to counter the time. The sun could have dimmed and stood still in the sky for 108 hours = 9 X 12 hours. That possibly may be the 9 suns, ten suns less one sun, referred to in the legend of Yao's long day.
Time enough to start forest fires. Then the sun may have traveled 180° west when it returned two years later, to counter the missing time, and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit.
Then the sun would brighten seven times and the day be only about 2 hours. Then to leave the same daily coral line in the sun's brief travel through the sky the sun's intensity must have been increased sevenfold.
108 hours seems long. Nevertheless, the sun must stand still in the sky for 36 hours often. The seven years of plenty began that April 1, 2315 BC. Perhaps rain clouds were diverted from China to Egypt during the seven years of plenty. Thus, the drought in China at the same time as the years of plenty in Egypt.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
Genesis 50:1 "And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days."
The number 70 represented the days of mourning for Jacob. It may also represent the 70th year of Joseph as governor over Egypt from 2315 BC in 2247 BC when there was a sun miracle. 70 years from the first year of the seven years of plenty. We know the famine was during Pharaoh Unas' reign. We know that Jacob entered Egypt in the second year of famine in the 430th year sothis from 2737 BC, thus spring 2307 BC. Thus, Joseph became governor over Egypt 8 years earlier in 2315 BC.
Genesis 41:46 "And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
Joseph would be about 38 in the second year of famine when Jacob and Joseph's brethren came down into Egypt. Thus, Joseph would be the age of Jesus, 38 and a half in the second year of famine, the age of Jesus when he was crucified.
2 Samuel 5:4 "David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years."
2 Samuel 5:5 "In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah."
Joseph and David both began to reign when they were thirty. Then some assume Jesus began his ministry when he was thirty. However, Joseph was 38 when his father Jacob and his brethren entered Egypt in 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth. David was 38 when he began to reign over all Israel. Jesus born September 12, 7 BC and crucified April 3, 33 AD means Jesus began his three and a half year ministry on Yom Kippur to fulfill the jubile of Isaiah 61 Friday September 9, 29 AD when he began to be 35 years old and was crucified April 3, 33 AD when he was 38 and a half years old. Pilate put his accusation on the cross "The King of the Jews".
Thereupon Yaou commanded the He and Ho, in reverent accordance with their observations on the wide heavens, to calculate and delineate the movements and appearances of the sun, the moon, the stars, and the zodiacal spaces; and so to deliver respectfully the seasons to the people.
He separately commanded the second brother He to reside at Yu-e, in what was called the Bright Valley, and there respectfully to receive as a guest the rising sun, and to adjust and arrange the labours of the spring. "The day," he said, "is of medium length, and the star is in Neaou; you may thus exactly determine mid-spring. The people begin to disperse; and the birds and beasts breed and copulate."
He further commanded the third brother He to reside at Nankeaou, and arrange the transformations of the summer, and respectfully to observe the extreme limit of the shadow. "The day," said he, "is at its longest, and the star is Ho; you may thus exactly determine mid-summer. The people are more dispersed; and birds and beasts have their feathers and hair thin, and change their coats."
He separately commanded the second brother Ho to reside at the west, in what was called the Dark Valley, and there respectfully to convoy the setting sun, and to adjust and arrange the completing labours of autumn. "The night," he said, "is of the medium length, and the star is Heu; you may thus exactly determine mid-autumn. The people begin to feel at ease; and birds and beasts have their coats in good condition."
He further commanded the third brother Ho to reside in the northern region, in what was called the Sombre Capitol, and there to adjust and examine the changes of the winter. "The day," said he, "is at its shortest, and the star is Maou; thus you may exactly determine mid-winter. The people keep their cosy corners; and the coats of birds and beasts are downy and thick."
The Mao said, "Ah! you, He and Ho, a round year consists of three hundred, sixty, and six days. By means of an intercalanary month do you fix the four seasons, and complete the determination of the year. Thereafter, in exact accordance with this, regulating the various officers, all the works of the year will be fully performed."
James Legge, The Chinese Classics: "But the vernal mansions go to the west and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous directions of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east, etc."
The Chinese Classics III p.94
Notes, The Shoo King p.18: "The special object of his observation was to ascertain that mid spring, the vernal equinox, was correctly fixed; and that the final end was that the 'labours of the east' might be adjusted. Those labours of the east are the labours of spring; and in the other parr. the south stands for summer and the west for autumn and the north for winter."
Of course the sun rises in the east, noon is south and west is sunset. However, the sun appears to move west to east through the year against the stars. Moreover, the sun can only be to the east of the zodiac in spring in a reverse orbit. The only explanation is earth in a clockwise, reverse, orbit. "the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east" - only in a reverse orbit. Lets have a look at this sentence of Yao:
"He separately commanded the second brother He to reside at Yu-e, in what was called the Bright Valley, and there respectfully to receive as a guest the rising sun, and to adjust and arrange the labours of the spring."
The sun only rises in the east as it does each day in a reverse orbit. Moreover, this sun miracle on the full moon April 2, 2315 BC was the day and the year Joseph became governor over Egypt. This is about April 2, 2315 BC 10 days before the vernal equinox reckoning by the amount the four stars Yao appointed had moved from when they would normally appear in 2300 BC. Thus, one would expect a sun miracle the day Joseph became governor.
Yao may have known something about sun miracles. Thus, he sent He and Ho, astronomers, to determine the days of the equinoxes and solstices by the four stars because with earth in a reverse orbit the stars normally used would not work.
One of those two sun miracles should be a short day with the sun suddenly rising in the east. Half the time when there was a short day China would see the sun suddenly rise in the east. Then this sun miracle would be on the vernal equinox. Thus, perhaps Yao's command "and there respectfully to receive as a guest the rising sun". That night a star in the Bird Constellation would appear above just after dark. Then there would be a second sun miracle the next day to start the second half reverse orbit. This Bird Star, Neaou, means phoenix. There was a phoenix often seen when there was a sun miracle.
Thus, Yao could estimate the constellations that would appear above that year just after dark perhaps because earth was already in a reverse orbit that October 5, 2316 BC just in time to start the year in November, the lunar month before the winter solstice.
Nevertheless, Yao's long day could just as easily have been April 1, 2315 BC and the reference to the rising sun be earth's reverse orbit. Thus, the need to determine spring immediately because the stars would not appear in the seasons they normally did. These stars would not disappear into the west as the year progressed. They would appear more and more to the east, more and more stars, each night when the stars came out.
The Koren New Year began in 2333 BC, in Yao's 25th year according to Dongguk Tonggam 1485 AD. Jacob died in 2290 BC at 147. He was 130 at the entering in of Egypt in 2307 BC. The Korean people at that time were sun worshippers. A sun miracle may have marked the death of Jacob and the beginning of the Korean Calendar in Yao's 25th year in 2290 BC.
These lunar mansions date from the time of Yao in 2315 BC. The earliest lunar mansions date from 3117 BC. "The most common and the earliest division of the ecliptic is that of the 28 mansions. These are of very unequal extent, and consequently very inconvenient for any purpose but that of astrology" Never the less the moon was in the first lunar sign Yih or Corvus on the sun miracle January 2245 BC perhaps described by the calendar bean - see Shun.
This lunar zodiac progresses counterclockwise as the moon appears to orbit earth counterclockwise as does the sun in earth's normal orbit and the lunar mansions are in normal sequence. Even when earth was in a reverse orbit of the sun the moon maintained its orbit, only 180° from the star it was in.
Likewise, the lunar month would begin the 180° away and close one sign of the zodiac in reverse, each successive lunar month beginning with the sun appearing in the reverse sequence of the signs of the zodiac. During earth's reverse orbit of the sun, Saturn must go through all 28 signs every 6 months. Or one lunar sign every 6 or 7 days. Saturn must orbit the sun twice every earth reverse year to appear in its seasons in the sky.
The Chinese could not have used all 28 mansions for 28 days of the 29.5 days of the lunar month when earth was in a reverse orbit because the sun moved into the 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, days as earth orbited the sun in reverse. That is, the sun moves with the moon's orbit in earth's normal orbit of the sun to leave the 27 and 28 day mansion visible that was not visible at the start of the lunar month because the sun was there. The opposite happens in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Thus, the Chinese could only use 3/4 of their lunar mansions in a reverse orbit of the sun. At the same time there would still be 29.5 days in the lunar month. Also the lunar month must be 4 hours shorter than the normal lunar month because the year must be 48 hours shorter.
The moon would not have to orbit faster because its orbit would be against earth's orbit and the 4 hours less a month automatic. These mansions are only approximate divisions of the sky. Nevertheless, not seeing a quarter of them every month would confound them.
The difference between the 27.3 days of moon's actual orbit and the 29.5 days of our lunar month, means the moon should slow its orbit by the same, 48 hours. That is, 2 days back from 27.3 days is 25.3 days, the same 2 days back from 29.5 days to 27.3 days. Yet, the moon would appear to take the same 29.5 days a lunar month during earth's reverse orbit.
See the TRANSLATION AND COMMENTARY OF THE CH'U SILK MANUSCRIPT from 400 BC.
In a reverse orbit the last two lunar mansions would not be visible because instead of the sun moving up Pisces the sun would appear to move down. Thus, the last two lunar mansions in Pisces would not appear because Pisces would not appear. Some of these 28 lunar mansions were as large as one zodiacal sign. Thus, the Chinese would not see the last lunar mansion in a reverse orbit.
Yao's reverse solar zodiac would progress clockwise through these lunar mansions, that is, not in normal sequence. Which way the zodiac progresses depends if you are looking south or north. However, we are talking about the very real event of earth orbiting the sun in reverse, the sun progressing through the zodiac in reverse sequence. "There are stars which favour wind and stars which favour rain. When the sun and moon move, we have winter and summer. If the moon follows the stars [rather than following its own path], there will be rain and wind."
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume V.1, p.276.
That is, when earth was in a reverse orbit of the sun the moon would appear to move with the zodiac. That is, The moon moves west east as it orbits. In a reverse orbit of the sun the stars would move west east through the year. Not more east - west each night, but west - east through the reverse orbit year.
The sun in 2300 BC was in Taurus in spring which is depicted here in the west. The zodiak progresses 360° in 26,000 years. Thus here spring normally is in Taurus in 2300 BC, and is in Pisces now 4,300 years later in 2023 AD.
It would not matter what month the sun moved 180° spring would always be in the east in a reverse orbit, because the constellation the sun was in the winter solstice would be north.
"We must remember the hour of midnight at the winter solstice is with the Chinese a grand epoch; a sort of repetition of the T'ae-keih or commencement of all things. Let the circle in the annexed figure represent the position of the ecliptic at midnight in mid-winter, in relation to the Chinese earth, represented by a square space in the center. At the season and hour in question, in the time of Yaou, Leo would be in the meridian, and south of the zenith in the middle of China; Taurus would be in the west, and Scorpius in the east; and it is correctly inferred that Aquarius, though invisible, would be north of nadir. Accordingly, the seven winter mansions of which Aquarius is the center are assigned to the north, and the seven summer mansions of which Leo is the center are assigned to the south.
Thus, far the arrangement agrees with that already described according to the motions of the Great Bear."
"But the vernal mansions go to the west and the autumnal ones to the east, reversing the previous directions of these two seasons, and in opposition to the prevailing notion of the Chinese that the spring belongs to the east, etc."
The Chinese Classics, Volume III p.94
The zodiac represents the constellation the sun is in at the time and since Yao was talking about the sun there should be no problem. This depiction is a depiction of the vernal equinox. However, the sun can only be in the east in spring in a reverse orbit. And that this was the prevailing notion of the Chinese reverse orbits must have been so frequent so as they thought they were the norm. Every sun miracle was followed by a sun 2 miracles six months later and/or a sun miracle on the anniversary of the first one. Thus, there must be at least 100 sun miracles from 2700 BC.
"The special object of He's observation was to ascertain that mid spring, the vernal equinox, was correctly fixed; and the final end was that the 'labours of the east' might be adjusted. Those labours of the east are the labours of spring..the south stands for summer the west for autumn and the north for winter."
That is, the sun at sunrise in Scorpius in the east in spring, the sun at noon in Leo in summer would have had the sun in the east in Scorpius in spring in a reverse orbit, the sun at sunset in Taurus in autumn with Scorpius in the east, the sun on the other side of the earth at midnight in Aquarius in winter with Scorpius now visible again in the sunrise position in the east, the year likened to a day. Thus, the sun in a reverse orbit would appear to move from east to west through the year, through the stars, just as it does though the day. Just as depicted in this grand epoch at midnight on the winter solstice.
This picture is only complete when earth is in a reverse orbit and the sun was in the constellation in the sunrise position in spring when the sun is in the summer constellation at noon.
The above diagram depicts the zodiac. The sun is to the east of the zodiac 2315 BC on the spring equinox. Of course sunrise in the east could symbolise spring, a noon sun in the south summer and a sunset in the west autumn. Likewise the apparent association with a day and a year - the sun appearing to move from the west to the east against the stars as we orbit the sun counterclockwise as we do now. However, in a reverse orbit the sun would travel through the zodiac from east to west and spring would be in the east. James Legge is right, there is no way in the present counterclockwise orbit for the zodiac to depict spring in the east.
"The labours of the seasons are therefore called 'changes.' For Ts'een has 'the hidden things,' with reference to the energies of nature now working in concealment."
The Chinese Classics III, The Canon of Yaou, p.19 p.21 Notes.
Ts'seen is Sagittarius when the sun is in the first of spring, often the time of sun miracles to mark the Passover in Israel.
"only since a new order of things has it come about that the stars move from east to west."
Bellamy, Moons Myths and Man, 1938, p.69
Thus, earth in a reverse orbit was known years ago.
This must mean earth in a reverse orbit, the stars gradually moving from west to east through the year. The months of the year must be in reverse against the sign of the zodiac the sun was in, in a reverse orbit.
Except for Aquarius none of Yao's stars would have been visible in their season. And that by a wide margin of 1400 years of forward precession.
See Seneca's falling zodiac.
Seneca's brother was Gallio the governor of Achaia.
Acts 18:9 "Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
18:11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them."
Acts 18:12 "And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
18:13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
18:14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
18:15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
18:16 And he drave them from the judgment seat."
Here is an inscription from the synagogue - you can see the letters HEB:
Genesis 37:2 "These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
37:7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
37:8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
37:10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying."
Joseph would be 17 in 2328 BC. 7 years to 2321 BC, 2320 BC would be a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD. Also, 2321 BC would be 47 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus fulfillment of the jubile on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD or October 7, 29 AD, when he spoke from Isaiah 61 in Nazareth, and the beginning of his ministry.
Jacob lived after this 2328 BC 38 more years, the years of Jesus' life, from 110 years old to 147 years old in 2290 BC. Joseph lived 110 years.
Also, the 49 jubile from this 2320 BC to Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC = 22 X 49, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 26 X 49.
Two times 17 years would equal Jesus' age when he began his ministry when he was 34 years old on this jubile.
Genesis 43:26 "And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
43:27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
43:28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance."
Genesis 36:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
Joseph is central in both the first and second dream. Perhaps earth is central and the sun and planets revolved around the earth the day Joseph was made governor over Egypt at the beginning of harvest. That day Joseph's brethern would see the sun stand still and perhaps wonder at Joseph's dream not knowing he was being made governor over Egypt. The planets must turn around and face the sun at the same inclination as before. More likely the eleven stars refer to eleven of the twelve signs of the zodiac.
That the sun had moved 180° from the Pleiades to Virgo, Virgo not visible because the sun was in that "star". Thus, the other eleven stars/zodiac appear to bow to the sun, the zodiac now progressing in reverse. That is, the sons of Jacob would bow to the Son of God, Jesus, with the glory of the Sun.
Matthew 17:1 "And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart.
17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light."
Pharaoh called Joseph first thing in the morning to interpret his dream, whereupon:
Genesis 41:43 "And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt."
Perhaps the morning sun stood still in the sky for Joseph as Pharaoh made him governor and he went out into Egypt. The morning sun in Egypt is an afternoon sun in China. Then perhaps that afternoon the sun stood still in China, the people were in commotion and almost 12 hours later Yao appeared to employ Yi to shoot at the sun.
There is a Chinese constellation of a bow aimed at Sirius/Taurus, just where the sun would be in Spring just before the sun moved the 180°, the emperor pulling the string. After 9 X 12 hours, the sun having moved 9 X 180° east, and at the 9th arrow, Yao refrained Yi and the sun moved, whereupon they made Yao emperor. Yao's previous name was Fang, he was named Son of Heaven that day.
This bow aimed at Taurus may have been first named when the sun was in Taurus April 1, 3307 BC and perhaps the sun moved 180° one week before the day of Noah's flood Saturday February 16, 3307 BC. Joseph's long day April 1, 2315 BC was 10 days before the spring equinox in 2315 BC. The sun may have risen in the west and set in the east seven days earlier Saturday, February 16, 3307 BC: "During this time of grace, the laws of nature were suspended, the sun rose in the west and set in the east." Then earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun.
Then the ninth plague, the three days of darkness possibly on the new moon, March 15, 1281 BC to create complete darkness when the sun and moon may have been moved to the other side of earth and revolved there 3 X 24 hours.
The 430 years in Genesis 11 may be from sothis year 1,430 = 2767 BC. Then the next 30 years to year 1,460, 2737 BC, at the end of the sothis cycle. The other year 430 in Exodus also was a sothis date, 2307 BC, 460 years later.
Genesis 11:13 "Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
From the Septuagint; Arphaxad lived 35 years, Cainan lived 30 years, then 403 years, then was Salah born.
We do not know if Cainan was added in later.
Arphaxad was born the second year after the flood, 35 years for Arphaxad, 30 years Cainan.
Genesis 11:14 "And Salah lived thirty years and begat Eber.
11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
Genesis 10:25 "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan."
This could be the division at the tower of Babel. This could also be the division of the calendar, the end of Sothis cycle of 1,460 years from 4197 BC when Peleg was 60 in 2737 BC. Thus, Eber lived to year 430, rather 1430, in the 30 years after he begat Peleg. Then 30 years to the 1460th year when Reu would be 30 and start a new sothis cycle.
Genesis 11:17 "And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:"
Genesis 11:21 "And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:22 And Serug lived thirty years and begat Nahor.
11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
3305 BC - 35 - 30 - 403 - 34 - 30 - 32 - 30 - 29 = 2689 BC to Terah. Then Abraham was born 2607 BC.
Thus, the total all adds up when we put in the 403 years.
From Adam in 4668 BC:
130 + 105 + 90 + 70 + 65 + 162 + 65 + 187 + 182 = 1056 years; 4668 BC - 1056 years = 3612 BC. That is, Lamech died five years before the flood, only the flood was in 3307 BC.
162 may be 62, 187 may be 87, 182 may be 82. 300 years further back is 3912 BC, five years to 3907 BC = 3900 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Also, 600 years from this 3907 BC is Noah's flood in 3307 BC.
Simply filling in the gaps we get:
Generations of Adam: 10 generations from Adam to Noah. There are 27 X 49 year jubiles + the fifth week, the fifth year, 1365 years from Adam in Armenian sothis year 700 from 5372 BC = 4672 BC to 3307 BC, from Adam to Noah. Thus an 18 generations gap. 8 generations from Arphaxad to Terah; 700 years from Noah's flood in 3307 BC to Abraham in 2607 BC. Thus a 17 generations gap. 4 generations from Abraham to Joseph. 40 generations in Egypt to Salmon. 5 generations to David. If we use Luke's list: 21 generations from David to the Exile. 21 generations from to Jesus.
Using the Ancient Book of Jubilees we get two gaps. About 500 year gap from Lamech to Noah; Noah is both at the 15 year jubile and the 27 year jubile, 49 year jubiles. About 400 year gap somewhere between Shem and Terah.
144 generations from Adam to Jesus with 33 years a generation.
Sodom and Gomorrah must have been destroyed the summer of 2508 BC, one year before Isaac was born. Thus, Abraham was born in 2607 BC and was 100 in 2507 BC when Isaac was born.
"In Hwang-te's 50th year, in autumn, in the 7th month, on the day Kang-shin [57th of cycle], phoenixes, male and female arrived."
The Chinese Classics
Then also, Rue lived to sothis year 207, 207 years after 2737 BC to 2530 BC; to when Terah died in sothis year 205 when Abraham was 75 and Abraham left Haran.
"And in the thirty-fifth jubile, in the third week, in the first year, Rue took to himself a wife...and she bore him a son in the seventh year of this week in this jubilee.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.53
34 X 49 + 7 + 7+ 1 = 1681 AM.
Or 35 X 49 + 21 + 1 = 1737 years = 2831 BC; 4568 BC - 1737 years = 1737 BC.
Then Serug be born 32 years later in 2798 BC, and Nahor born 30 years later in 2768 BC; 2800 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Then Nahor live 31 more years to the Egyptian Sothis 2737 BC, and 119 more years to year 119 = 150 years of Nahor's life.
2797 BC; 35 X 50 year jubiles + 21 years, from year 800 of Adam = 4568 BC - 1771 = 2797 BC, may be the year Rue married. Rue's son Serug born six years later. Then 32 years back from Serug.
2831 BC + 6 years to Serug's birth = 2825 BC, back 32 years = 2857 BC; back 30 years = 2887 BC is about this 2891 BC. That is, 430 years ahead is the end of the Armenian Sothis in 2447 BC. One day = four years in the sothis cycle. So, one day difference, or one day in rounding the date, in the 1460 year sothis equals exactly 430 years from Peleg's birth.
Or 2807 BC; Abraham died at 175 years 2432 BC, 2057 AM, from Rue, 1681 AM = 376; 376 + 2432 = 2807 BC = 2800 years to Jesus' birth.
41 X 49 + 6 X 7 + 2 = 2054 years.
From Adam in year 700 + 77 = a generation to Seth = year 777. Then Seth died 105 years = year 882. 5368 BC - 882 = 4486 BC - 2054 = 2432 BC = Abraham's death.
Therefore, the jubiles may count from the death of Seth:
Enoch born in 522 A.M. (Anno Mundi = year of the world) and married in 582 - 588 A.M. From 4486 BC - 522 years = 3964 BC, 4486 BC - 582 AM = 3904 BC or about 3907 BC = the new Armenian Sothis cycle and 3900 years to Jesus' birth.
From Adam in year 888 from the Armenian sothis 5372 BC = this 4486 BC. Most dates are from Adam year 700 or Adam year 800.
From Adam's death in year 930, 49 more years to 4486 BC. "At the close of the 19th jubile, seventh week sixth year thereof Adam died." 19 X 49 = 931 years, less one year = sixth year thereof, 930 years. If one jubile less, 18 X 49 seventh week sixth day = 4488 BC.
4486 BC - 588 years (the seventh week 582 to 588 AM) = 3898 BC = the 300th year from the Egyptian Sothis calendar cycle beginning in 4197 BC.
Often 10 jubilies are omitted. From 4668 BC - 522 - 490 (10 X 49) = 3656 BC = year 250 from 3907 BC. Married 582 AM at 60 years old, died at 115 years old in year 365 from 3907 BC.
From 4489 BC, given 2057 years calculated in the Ancient Book of Jubiles, to 2432 BC. About this same 4486 BC the 522 years to Enoch 3964 BC and Enoch married in 582 AM = 3907 BC = the new Armenian Sothis cycle and again 3900 years to Jesus' birth.
77 years = 38.5 years + 38.5 years - the 38.5 years of Jesus' life. Abraham died in 2432 BC = 38 years after 2469 BC when Abraham went to offer up his son Isaac when Isaac was 38 years old = the age of Jesus when Jesus offered up his life.
John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
Genesis 5:28 "And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:"
Genesis 5:31 "And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died."
Adam was in year 700 in the Septuagint. 77 years = 2 X 38.5 years = 2 X the life time of Jesus of 38.5 years. The 777 years = 3312 BC + 777 years = 4089 BC = 84 X 49 years + 4 years, back from Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Thus, if these dates applied to Adam, maybe Seth be born in year 777 and Adam live 182 years from year 700, or Seth 105 years from 777, 4668 BC - 182 years = 4486 BC. 4486 BC - 1681 years = Rue 2807 BC, (2800 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC).
Or from 4486 BC - 1737 years = 2749 BC; Serug born 32 more years; 2717 BC; Nahor born 30 more years; 2687 BC; to year 119 from Egyptian Sothis 2737 BC = 2618 BC. Then Nahor would live to 70 years.
"And in this thirty-ninth jubilee, in the second week in the first year, Terah took to himself a wife,..and in the seventh year of this week she bare him a son, and he called his name Abram.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.54.
Perhaps 50 year jubiles were meant. Then 39 X 50 = 1950 years. 4568 BC - 1950 = 2618 BC. "in this second week" = a week of 7 plus half of a week "in this second week" +4; 4568 BC - 1961 years = 2607 BC.
Probably 49 year jubiles were meant. That is, 39 X 49, and not two weeks of years but 7 and 7 that meant 7 X 7, and the first year that meant + 1. Therefore 39 X 49 + 7 X 7 = 1960; 4568 BC - 1960 = 2608 BC; plus one year = Abraham's birth in 2607 BC.
Abraham's death in 2432 BC; his birth in 2607 BC - 175 years = 2432 BC.
From Abraham's death in 2432 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC is 23 X 50 jubile years, 1151 years.
"And in the forty-second jubilee, in the first year of the seventh week, Abraham called Ishmael and Isaac..and in the sixth year of the seventh week.."
Ancient Book of Jubilees, p.79
42 X 50 + 5 X 7 + 1 + 2432 BC = 4568 BC.
This is the first year of the sixth week..
Abraham at 75 years would be about double the age of Jesus when Jesus went to the cross.
Here you can see the 17th day from the new moon is October 18, 2607 BC. The year is 365.24 days. Thus, this Julian calendar, that is used for dates BC, based on 365.25 days moves the dates of solstices and equinoxes over hundreds of years. This is also the date of the autumn equinox that year:
From day 1 of cycle 60 January 26, 2636 BC we can calculate the 57th day: 2636 BC - 2607 BC = 29 years. 29 X 365.25 = 10592.25; subract the .25, then divide by 60 = 176.5333. Multiply by the remainder .5333 X 60 = 32. 32 = (January 26) + 5, + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 18 = 297, - 240 = day 57 October 18, 2607 BC.
Yao's Long day must have been 11 days before the equinox, the full moon, April 2, 2315 BC for these stars to mark the seasons. April 1 was Pharaoh's birthday. Thus, Joseph in prison two years previous April 1, 2315 BC was Tuesday, the third day of the week, April 1, 2317 BC. Egyptian Sothis year 430 began April 1, 2307 BC marked the Sojourn into Egypt and the Exodus out of Egypt.
The 11 days represents 1400 years of precession rather than 700. Thus, these stars would mark the four seasons in 1000 BC, about the time of Solomon. If you place the sun 180° on the other side of a globe of the earth, you will notice you have to rotate the globe 180° to keep in the same season. This means three months before the vernal equinox, if the sun moved to the other side of earth, an earth globe would have to be pivoted 180° to keep in the same season.
Thus, three months or 90 days = 180°. This means that a sun miracle April 2, 2315 BC, 11 days before the equinox, April 11, 2315 BC, would require not 11 / 365, not 10 / 360, but 20 / 360. Precession takes 26,000 years to complete a circle. Then 20 / 360 X 26,000 = 1,400 years. Thus, in no way could Yao use these four stars to mark the four seasons in a normal orbit in 2300 BC.
From 1281 BC to Jesus' birth 7 BC are 1274 years = three and a half years in days; 3 X 365 + 180 days.
Also, the 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD starts from this 1241 BC of Joshua's conquest. The 49 year jublile from Abraham offering up Isaac in 2468 BC, when Isaac was 39 = Sarah was 90 when Isaac was born and 127 years old when Abraham offered up Isaac= Isaac the same age of 38 as Jesus in 33 AD. There is 2500 years from this 2468 BC to this April 3, 33 AD. Abraham born on the sun miracle October 18, 2607 BC in China is 2600 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, Isaac's birth in 2507 BC, when Abraham was 100, 2500 years to Jesus' birth, Abraham 75 in Egyptian Sothis year 205 = death of his father Terah, from 2737 BC, the sojourn of Jacob into Egypt in Egyptian sothis year 430 from Egyptian Sothis 2737 BC = new years April 1, 2307 BC 2300 years to Jesus' birth.
From year one of the Armenian Sothis Calendar 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Adam in year 800 is 4568 BC = 4600 years to Jesus' sacrifice, April 3, 33 AD.
Friday May 11, 4568 BC was the full moon = the Passover and Jesus' sacrifice Friday, April 3, 33 AD. In the Julian calendar to match our Gregorian calendar: 4568 years divided by 128 years = 36 days. 36 days added to April 3, 33 AD = May 9, 4568 BC. Thus, the keeping of the seven day week from earliest times.
This same 49 year jubile back from Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD = 5407 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' birth = the 39 years of Jesus' perfect life. The end of the sothis in Exodus 12:40 was 40 years later than the wrong chronology of 1321 BC, and was 1281 BC.
The sothis calendar backed up one day every four years. So, 40 years = 10 days. Then, perhaps there was a sun miracle in 5407 BC, and 39 years later, the Armenian sothis cycle began.
In 5407 BC, the summer solstice would be July 31. The sothis new year Armenian July 11, Egyptian July 16. Thus, there could easily be 10 days from the new year to the summer solstice. Then, 5407 BC to 5368 BC, the calendar may have backed up this 10 days to begin the first sothis cycle.
Likewise the Egyptian sothis calendar, back from 1281 BC + 1456 to 2737 BC + 1460 + 1460 = 5657 BC. 5650 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 113 X 50 year jubiles = 5650 years. Likewise, there could be a sun miracle in 5407 BC to begin the 49 year jubile, and a sun miracle in 5657 BC to begin the 50 year jubile.

Generations of Adam:
10 generations from Adam to Noah.
18 generations gap
8 generations from Arphaxad to Terah.
17 generations gap
4 generations from Abraham to Joseph.
40 generations in Egypt to Salmon.
5 generations to David.
If we use Luke's list:
21 generations from David to the Exile
21 generations from to Jesus
144 generations from Adam to Jesus.
Thus, all the ages work to produce 144 generations to Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:45 "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."
The last man Adam was Jesus.
Luke 3 gives 75 generations from Adam to Jesus. 144 generations is 70 or 69 generations more.
12 X 12 = 144; in dual decimal = 100. The sothis calendar, both the Armenian and Egyptian use 1440 years plus 5 leftover days at the end, or beginning of their cycle. 1440 + 5 X 4 = 1460 years one cycle.
1440 years is 1000 in duodecimal, like 1000 years, but in duodecimal. "a thousand years are like a day". The year backed up 365 days in 1461 years. The whole cycle took 1 year as well, thus 1461 years rather than 1460 years. Thus the likeness of a day to a thousand years.

Enoch lived in year 300. If this was Sothis year 300, the year would have backed up 77 days from July 16, 4200 BC (300 years from 4200 BC to 3900 BC) to May 2, 3900 BC. There are 144 + 144 + 77 days to the 365 days of the year. Sirius is invisible, washed out by day light, from May 2 to July 16 in dates BC. 70 days of the disappearance of Sirius is a feature of the Egyptian calendar. This could be the same 70 days the Egyptians mourned for Jacob.
Genesis 50:1 "And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days."
Sirius should disappear in the west May 7, 2290 BC 70 days to reappear July 16, 2290 BC in the east at 4:15 AM. The new moon started to appear in the west a few days later that year.
40 days of mourning from April 1, 2290 BC to May 10, 2290 BC. Likewise, Jesus died April 3, 33 AD, rose from the dead Sunday April 5, 33 AD, and appeared after his resurrection to many of the saints forty days.
Acts 1:3 "To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:"
Acts 1:12 "Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey."
Perhaps this was a sabbath, and a sabbath day's journey. Then there would be 42 days, from Sunday night to Saturday 6 X 7 days.
Nevertheless, Jesus must have ascended on Thursday, the 40th day. And Pentecost be on Sunday. Thus, both traditions must be correct.
This pattern of Pentecost on a Sunday is exactly the same in the Exodus.
The Exodus on the Passover, Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and Pentecost 50 days later on Sunday, May 20, 1281 BC.
Jesus' sacrifice on the Passover, April 3, 33 AD and Pentecost 50 days later on Sunday, May 24, 33 AD.
The Pharaoh of the Exodus, Merneptah's death may mistakenly be attached to the disappearing of Sirius in the sun's glare about May 2, 1281 BC. There may have been a sun miracle a few days after the Exodus when Pharaoh caught up to Israel at the Reed Sea or Red Sea that the Egyptians associated with Sirius that they associated Merneptah's death with Sirius.
The Bible may have used some Egyptian sothis dates.
The Sothis cycle of 1460 years began in 2737 BC.
A possibility is Abraham witnessed the destruction of Sodom about 2509 BC and Joseph was made governor over Egypt in 2315 BC. Then the Sojourn into Egypt was Friday April 1, 2307 BC from the beginning of the 430th year of the Sothis period beginning July 16, 2737 BC. That is, the Sothis calendar had backed up (430/4) 107 days from July 16 to April 1, 2307 BC.
Joseph may have been made governor April 2, 2315 BC which was the beginning of the Sothis year in 2307 BC when Jacob entered Egypt in the second year of famine (2315 BC - 8 = 2307 BC). April 1 was also Pharaoh's birthday.
Thus, this was the time Pharaoh dreamed and when Joseph was called out of the dungeon. Then the Exodus out of Egypt was Friday.
March 30, 1281 BC, the selfsame day of the week, lunar month and year as the Sojourn into Egypt = Friday, April 1, 2307 BC. This because Sirius appeared just before dawn July 16, 1281 BC from the sothis cycle also 1281 BC. Thus, Friday April 1, 2307 BC is 107 days before July 16 and Friday, March 30, 1281 BC is 107 days before July 16. The beginning of months in Exodus was to be the Hebrew lunar month Nisan, Friday, March 15, 1281 BC at the first visibility of the moon.
Both the sojourn into Egypt on the 14th day of the lunar month and the Exodus out of Egypt on the 14th of the lunar month were counted from the moon's first visibility not the Egyptian counting from the moon's last visibility.
Nevertheless, the 14th day may have actually been the eve of the 14th day, rather the 13th day.
The first of the Egyptian month of the Exodus was counted on the moon's first visibility March 17, 1281 BC and because Egypt was in a desert, most of the time the Egyptians could see the last visibility of the moon. The Exodus was on the spring equinox and the Exodus Friday, March 30, 1281 BC. The spring equinox in 1281 BC was March 31. Thus, the first Passover was on the vernal equinox as by tradition.
Then the total time of the Sojourn in Egypt must be 1026 years = 41 generations of 25 years: If the children of Israel doubled their population every second generation, then 2 to the power of 20 = one million, 1024 X 1024.
Genesis 15:12 "And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
Genesis 15:16 "But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
May have originally read "in the fortieth generation."
fourth
fortieth
Thus you see one letter difference. Reading right to left there is one extra letter, Mem, at the end for fortieth, than for fourth. The M means plural. Thus, the copiest missed the letter M at the end of the word. And the word should be fortieth, fortienth generation. A generation is 25 years. Then, 40 X 25 years = 1000 years from the Sojourn in 2307 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
Exodus 12:37 "And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children."
Genesis 15:13 "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."
Thus, six hundred thousand on foot that were men = a "great substance."
Thus, 1024 X 1024 = 1,000,000. This 600,000 men equals 2,000,000 men and women and children. Thus, it took 40 generations from 2307 BC to 1281 BC for Israel to grow to 2,000,000.
You can see a letter added in front of and behind the letters for fourth. A scribe could have miscopied these letters accidently or intentionally leaving only the word fourth. Thus, originally this verse should read:
Genesis 15:16 "But in the fortieth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
Galatians 3:17 "And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect."
Acts 13:20 "And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years."
40 years from 1124 BC to 1084 BC. The sun miracle in Saul's second year 1122 BC on the day of Atonement = Yom Kippur when Saul charged the people not to eat on the day of the fast.
From this 1122 BC, Saul's second year, are 38 more years, perhaps a pattern of Jesus' 38 years.
"In his, King K'ang, 12th year, in the summer, in the sixth month, on the jin-shin (9th of cycle 60) day, the king went to Fung and gave his Charge to the duke of Peih. In the autumn duke E of Maou died."
The Chinese classics III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.148
This may be day 9 of cycle 60, September 4, 1122 BC, the 9th to 10th day of the Hebrew lunar month seven, the day of Atonement which was a day of fasting, Yom Kippur. Thus, this record of Yom Kippur in the second year of Saul.
Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And 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."
1 Kings 6:1 "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
Judges 11:26 "While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?"
430 years was originally from the 430th Sothis year from 2737 BC = 2307 BC to the end of the sothis cycle of 1456 years = 1281 BC. 480 years was originally 240 years. 300 years was originaly about 100 years. 4 generations was originally 40 generations.
The presentation of these dates is sure. Along the way a scribe most probably altered dates to fit his preconceived and perhaps simpler chronology.
The scribe would have to write forty names for the forty generations in the thousand years in Egypt. This four generations is much shorter.
The sojourn was from the 430th year sothis, 2307 BC to the end of the sothis 1281 BC. Thus, the law was given at the end of the sothis cycle in 1281 BC.
40 X 25 = 1000 years to Moses' generation. The Bible must have originally contained forty names, perhaps 40 from Joseph to Joshua or 44 from Abraham to David. A scribe must have made the decision to delete them and leave the "they shall afflict them 400 years" in Egypt and the Exodus was "from the 430th year" to appear Israel was in Egypt only 400 years when in fact Israel was in Egypt 1031 years.
They were slaves for 400 years from 1680 BC to 1281 BC. The sojourn in Egypt was not for 430 years but from the 430th year sothis, from the 430th year from 2737 BC. 2307 BC to 1281 BC = 1026 years sojourn. And thus just give four names for four generations for the four hundred years. Rather the sojourn into Egypt was from the Sothis year 430 from 2737 BC.
Likewise in Genesis 5 the long 800 year ages of Adam etc might be a Sothis dates. The first sothis cycle may have started in 5700 BC to 4197 BC is 1460 years to 2737 BC is 1456 years to 1281 BC is 1450 years to 169 AD.
1460 years from 1281 BC is 179 AD/180 AD.
Year 800 for Adam may be 5660 - 1152 (800 in duodecimal = base 12) = 4508 BC.
The last sothis cycle was said to have ended in sometime between 148 AD to 169 AD.
1460 years from 1281 BC is 180 AD. Sirius appeared first in the early morning 4:15 AM July 16, 2737 BC and 4:15 AM July 16, 1281 BC. But on July 19, 179 AD Sirius appeared three days earlier in the Egyptian calendar. This is three days later. However the calendar was backing up a day every four years. So, on July 19, 179 AD the end of the sothis cycle was called 3 days X 4 years = 12 years early.
Coins predicting the end of the sothis cycle began appearing in Egypt about 148 AD with an error margin of 32 years = 180 AD. Years were not kept, only the appearing of Sirius was their guide.
"among the Greek astronomers Dositheus said the dog star rises heliacally 23 days after midsummer, Meton 28 days and Euctemon 31 days." We see it was 28 days after the summer solstice June 21 and this 4:15 AM July 19, 169 AD as TheSky planetarium software would indicate.
Judges 11:26 "While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years?"
- may have originally said "one hundred and three years" and it had been 103 years. Later scribes may have added 200 years to make the judges in Judges serve one after another instead of concurrently from different regions of Israel. Likewise scribes must have added 240 years to the original 240 years in the following verse to make judges serve in succession.
Most likely the 300 years came from "shellosh shelloshim" = 3 X 30, and the 30 changed to 100, thus 3 X 100 instead. The character for 30 was a Hebrew letter. Then it may have been changed to 3 X Aleph = 3 X 100, instead of 3 X 30. Then this sun miracle should be in 1150 BC, 90 years after the conquest of Arnon in 1241 BC.
Here is how 300 and 30 are written. Three 30's in the letter Lamed, together may look like 300 the letter Shin.
This is how three thirties are written in Egyptian:
Here are the Hebrew numbers for 300 and 90. Either the change was deliberate, or accidental.
Here is how 90 is represented in Babylonian cuniform. A sexigesimal 60 base number system where 60 is represented by 10. Then 90 is represented by 60 + 30:
The 18th year of King Ching of China, when the phoenixes appeared = a sun miracle, must be 1168 BC = 1200 years to Jesus' sacrifice. Then perhaps again a sun miracle in 1145 BC = 1100 years and 38 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
1145 BC = 96 years after Moses conquered Heshbon in 1241 BC. You can see the Hebrew letters for 96 together may be mistaken for the Hebrew letter for 300:
Numbers 21:13 "From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites."
Numbers 21:16 "And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
The 300 years, the 450 years, the 480 years, all for the same space of time for the book of Judges, are all deliberate exagerations to the period of the Judges. The scribe made up these 300, 480 and 450 years to give enough space of time for the judges to rule in sequence.
1 Samuel 2:27 "And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus, saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
Thus, Eli's father must have been in Egypt. Thus, Eli would be the first generation in Israel. Then Eli may have lived 98 years from about 1298 BC to 1200 BC. Then Eli would be 17 at the Exodus in 1281 BC. Because he was under 20, Eli would live beyond the forty years in the wilderness.
Numbers 14:29 "Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,"
Then Aaron would be 63 years old when Eli was born.
Judges 13:1 "And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years."
Forty years from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC to 1200 BC. 10 years of captivity to 1190 BC. Then these 40 years of captivity by the Philistines to 1150 BC. The same year may have been the sun miracle of King Chih in his 18th year from 1168 BC = 1150 BC. Then this be the deliverance of Jephthah 3 X 30 years, not 300 years, from Moses in Arnon 1242 BC = 1150 BC. Then there be 26 more years to Saul in 1124 BC.
Ruth 1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
1:4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years."
Ruth 1:6 "Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread."
40 years plus 10 years = 50 years = the jubile in this 1190 BC. There were both a 49 year and 50 year sabbath. Thus, God would provide bread the following year, year one, 1189 BC.
Note by Yu. "King Wan thus for 9 years received the appointment of Heaven.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.140.
King Wan's appointment of Heaven = sun miracle = 1195 BC to his death in 1186 BC.
"In his 41st year (from 1226 BC = 1186 BC), in the spring, in the 3rd month, Ch'ang , the cheif of the west died."
Note. "King Wan of Chow was burried in Peih; 30 le west from Fung."
A Peih is a jade disc that the emperor dropped in the river when there was a sun miracle. Perhaps a sun miracle May 22, 1195 BC and again in 1186 BC.
That king Wan died in spring, may have been an omen to point to Jesus' sacrifice that the Chinese took.
King Te-sin reigned 52 years from 1226 BC to Woo in 1174 BC, his 34th year = 1193 BC.
"In the time of Hwang-te, there had been a prophesy, to the effect that 'the chief of the west should become king, in a certain kea-tsze year; that Ch'ang should lay the foundations of the generation..in the 13th generation..Ke-leih was born; and in his 10th year, a multitude of flying dragons filled the pasture lands of Yin..the wife of Ke-leih was called T'ae-jin, who became pregnant..she gave birth to Ch'ang. This Ch'ang became king Wan of Chow."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.142.
From 2636 BC, 1195 BC was a year one of cycle 60, a kea-tsze year. Thus, the sun miracle the appointment of Heaven in this day 1 of 60 in the new moon, May 22, 1195 BC.
"In is 35th year there was a great famine in the land."
Then the rain that did not come to China in his 35th year = 1190 BC, may have come to Israel to give Bethlehem bread. Bethlehem means house of bread.
Judges 15:20 "And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years."
Thus, there be about 20 years of Samson to 1130 BC. Then there be 10 years to the civil war against Benjamin, perhaps 10 years from the 40 years of rest from 1241 BC = 1190 BC.
Judges 20:26 "Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD."
The "even" may mean the sun set in the east. They fasted and wept may be a type of Jesus' disciples before Jesus' resurrection the third day.
Judges 20:43 "Thus, they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising."
This third day of war against Benjamin may have been a type of Jesus rising on the third day. The victory was on the third day. Thus, "toward the sunrising" may refer not only to the east, but to the sun suddenly rising in the east.
Then Saul must have been one of the 600 survivors of Benjamin. His height may have aided him in being able to run to safety. Then Saul be made King 1124 BC.
Acts 13:20 "And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet."
The years of Judges were not consecutive. The years of the Judges were concurrent. The same forty year period of rest recorded four times = Joshua's conquest 1241 BC to 1200 BC. Saul became King of Israel 1124 BC.
Judges 3:11 "And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forthH3318 in his might! And the land had rest forty years."
"goeth forth" H3318:
Exodus 33:8 "And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was goneH3318 into the tabernacle."
This battle must equal the battle of Merom in Joshua 11, February 4, 1240 BC. Because the battle of Gideon may have been at the crossing of the Jordan river, and king Wan's dream February 5, 1239 BC; there may be two sun miracles February 5, 1240 BC that made apparent "the sun going forth in its might!" in Judges 5:31 = the battle of Merom in Joshua 11.
Judges 8:28 "Thus, was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
1 Samuel 4:18 "And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
There were 450 years from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC to the captivity of Galilee in 791 BC. The events in Judges happened consecutively and not sequentially. Thus, from Joshua to Samuel were not much more than 50 years.
The judges served at the same time as Joshua and perhaps from about the time of the Exodus in an earlier immigration. Perhaps from the Exodus they could only serve about 100 years to Samuel, about 1170 BC.
1 Kings 6:1 "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
The Septuagint reads "440 etel", years. The Hebrew word for year is Shanah, Strong's 8138, also means two or double. Thus, 480 doubled years is 240 years. Taking the Hebrew as more reliable; then 1281 - (480/2) 240 = 1041 BC to Solomon's 4th year. Most likely this was originally written 240 years.
Then a later scribe added 200 years to 440 years and a still later scribe added 40 years to 480 years. Modern Scholarship has cut off 60 years from 1020 BC to 960 BC for Solomon's death for no apparent reason. Solomon's death must be in 1004 BC. Shoshenq came to Rehoboam in his fifth year in 1000 BC, 76 years earlier, and not 925 BC.
If we can agree Jephthah lived about 1142 BC, the Exodus can be brought to March 30, 1281 BC and the conquest of Palestine to Joshua's Long Day, Saturday, August 24, 1241 BC, or Saturday, August 10, 1241 BC:
"In his 34th year (emperor Ching from 1168 BC - 33 years = 1135 BC) it rained gold in Heen-Yang."
The Chinese Classics, part III, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.148.
The gold on earth is thought to be from early meteor showers billions of years ago.
Only 6% of meteorites are iron, and are from protoplanetary disks formed 4.6 billion years ago when the solar system was formed.
This was in 1136 BC counting from Emperor Wu's first year as emperor over China in 1174 BC. Wu reigned 6 years to 1168 BC to King Ching.
Debra and Barak in Judges 4 and 5 appear to be with Israelites already in the land on the day of Joshua's conquest at Merom in Joshua 11. Then Debra, Barak and Joshua also appear with Jabin and Sisera on this day. The sun miracle implied:
Judges 5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might!"
After sun miracles, everyone would understand earth rotates and the sun only moves on a sun miracle. Gideon saw the sun suddenly rise in the east six months earlier. Then that day at the battle of Merom the sun stood still at noon again at the same time of king Wan's dream in China. Thus, the references repeated of sun miracles in Judges 5. "In 1992, the joint Israeli/Spanish mission were digging at the ruins of Hazor, the largest city of Palestine in the Middle Bronze Age. They found a tablet on which was recorded the name of the powerful king of the city (p.317, fig.338). That name was Jabin, the same as the king of Hazor who Joshua defeated as recorded in Joshua 11:1,10!" Hazor burned towards the end of the 13th century BC: 1300 - 1200 BC.
Ramses II who reigned with his father Seti I may be the Ramses of the Bible. Two references to the land of Ramses are given in the Bible:
Genesis 47:11 "And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ramses,
The Hebrew word "Ramses":
Exodus 12:37 "And the children of Israel journeyed from Ramses."
The Hebrew word "from Ramses":
"to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children."
However, this reference to the treasure city, known as Per Ramesses, which has been found, to the Egyptians at least since 600 BC, is directly linked to the Pharaoh Ramses II:
Exodus 1:11 "Therefore they did set over them task masters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses."
Ramses II built Pi-Ramses "The Domain of Ramses" probably during his co-reign with his father Seti I. Rather Merneptah must be the Pharaoh of the Exodus that drowned in the Red Sea, perhaps May 2, 1281 BC. More likely Merneptah died in April, 1281 BC.
Thus, the Pharaoh pursued the children of Israel a day after they let them go, and caught up to them in three days at the Reed Sea. Whereupon, God parted the sea, Israel crossed over, and the morning of April.The crossing of the Red/Reed Sea was on a day between April 1 and April 5, 1281 BC.
The Egyptians trying to follow the Hebrews perished when the sea fell in.
The crossing of the Red/Reed Sea traditionally is one week after the Exodus = the seven days of unleavend bread. Two weeks after the Exodus would be the new moon and a partial solar eclipse visible in the morning. That date also is a possibility for the crossing of the Red/Reed Sea.
Merneptah is counted to have died in April/May. Thus, Merneptah died just after the Exodus in the Reed/Red Sea about April 2, 1281 BC, and not May 2, 1281 BC, a 30 day correction of the Egyptian months.
Joshua entered Palestine forty years later, January 1241 BC. In this chronology we may go back 80 years from 1281 BC to 1361 BC and to Moses' birth and Pharaoh Seti I possibly the king of Egypt that did not know Joseph.
We may go back forty years to 1321 BC to Moses' attempt to help the children of Israel in the time of Ramses II. Thus, when Moses killed the Egyptian Ramses II was the Pharaoh that sought Moses' life. The 50 year jubile to end at the beginning of Jesus' ministry August 29 AD, could have dated from this 1320 BC. Likewise, the 49 year jubile could have dated from the death of Ramses II in 1290 BC to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD..
Genesis 15:16 "But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
This may have originally read "in the fortieth" generation. Moses would be this 40th generation if 25 years were counted per generation. The Sojourn into Egypt began 2307 BC and Moses was born 1361 BC. 40 X 25 = 1000 years. Then Moses may have correctly reckoned him and his generation would leave Egypt for the promised land. Also Moses' father in law, Jethro, would only be distantly related through Abraham's son Midian of Keturah, being more than 40 generations from Abraham.
http://www.ub.rug.nl/eldoc/dis/theology/e.j.van.der.steen/c1.pdf. "References to the Hapiru in the Middle and Late Bronze Age literature are numberous...Hapiru who are carrying stones for the temple Ramses Miamum."
Perhaps the Hapiru were Hebrews.
Here is a brief history of sun miracles:
Starting with the Chinese Emperor Huangdi:
"When the empire was settled, his sage virtue was brightly extended, and all sorts of auspicious indications appeared..In his first year, when Huangdi came to the throne, he dwelt in Yew-hueng (the province of Hunan)."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p1.
Huangdi's first year was in 2657 BC, phoenixes appeared = a sun miracle, just like the phoenixes that appeared on January 26, 2636 BC to begin the counting of days of 60 and years of 60.
"In his, Huangdi, 100th year, 2557 BC, he died, the earth was rent."
"In his, Yao, 100th year, 2215 BC, he died. In his, Shun, first year, 2215 BC, phoenixes appeared.."
50 year cycles, like jubiles, 2657 BC, 2557 BC, point to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Likewise the building of the wall of Jerusalem in 458 BC, 70 weeks in years to Jesus' crucifixion April 3, 33 AD, 450 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
- An earthquake triggered at the same time the sun was moved around the earth. - Then Huangdi ascended into heaven.
Then - "When Che ascended the throne there was the auspicious omen of phoenixes." Abraham was 50 in 2557 BC.
John 8:57 "Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?"
The Jews looked for an old man on a white horse to be their messiah.
Genesis 22:4 "Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off."
This third day Abraham went to offer Isaac may have been the Friday, the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Friday February 16, 2468 BC or the full moon on the vernal equinox, Friday April 13, 2468 BC, when Isaac was 38 years old and a half from September 23, 2507 BC. There may have been a sun miracle that day. There may have been an hour of darkness when the sun was darkened at noon when Abraham went to offer Isaac as it was for Jesus. Then there may also have been the same pattern of sun miracles that Saturday and Sunday as at Jesus' resurrection. Then at evening the planets must move out of the way of the sun and possibly form a conjunction in the night sky.
The birth of Isaac in 2507 BC was in Chuen-heuh's nineth year.
"And as the Hindoo era, cali-yug, commenced (B.C. 3102) with a conjunction of all the planets, so the historian of Han places a conjunction of all the planets in the reign of Chuen-heuh - from 2515 BC just at the time when that emperor is said to have corrected the calendar, and fixed the commencement of the year in February."
The Chinese Classics III, p.101
"In his 13th year, 2503 BC, he invented calendric calculations and delineations of the heavenly bodies."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.110
Huangdi reigned 100 years from 2657 BC to 2557 BC. Isaac died in 2327 BC at 180 years of age, when Joseph was 17. There was a sun miracle 200 years later, the fifth year of Chung-K'ang, from 2131 BC on October 8, 2127 BC. Yao 100 years (2315 BC - 2215 BC) Joseph was made governor over Egypt when the sun stood still for 10 days in China whereupon Yao was made emperor.
Wu became emperor in 1174 BC, 24th of cycle 60. Likewise Yao became emperor 2315 BC, 24th of cycle 60.
Yao's long day was in 2315 BC in his first year to begin the seven years of plenty in Egypt, then possibly in 2308 BC to begin the seven years of famine in Egypt: "In Yao's 7th year there was a unicorn".
2207 BC in Shun's 14th year a yellow dragon appeared.
October 8, 2127 BC He and Ho punished when Chung-k'ang became emperor and did not warn of the astronomical event: - sun and moon did not meet harmoniously, in the chamber, or in Scorpius. "The sun was eaten" was to become the norm when describing a solar eclipse. The sun and moon did not meet harmoniously describes movement, probably this 180° movement.
The edge of the moon appearing in front of the sun would look like the sun was being eaten. Thus, the difference between a solar eclipse and the 180° movement of the sun and moon.
That, is the sudden darkness in China that was not a solar eclipse must have been the movement of the sun. "the sun and moon did not meet harmoniously" sounds like a solar eclipse, but there was no solar eclipse on the day 47of cycle 60. Simply the darkness means God must have suddenly moved the sun down from the sky.
In 1732 BC 10 suns appeared in China in the reign of emperor Kin - the sun stood still for 10 days like it did for Yao.
1732 BC was a 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD.
Emperor Kwei came to power 1707 BC, 1700 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
In Kwei's 10th year about 1700 BC "in his 10th year, the five planets went out of their course. In the night stars fell like rain. The earth shook. The E and Lo became dry."
In Kwei's 29th year = 1680 BC "three suns appeared together"
Kwei's first year was in 1708 BC = 1700 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, this 29th year = 1680 BC.
The Hebrews were slaves in Egypt 400 years from this 1680 BC to the Exodus in 1281 BC.
About 1677 BC according to cycle, at the time of Hebrew slavery in Egypt, "two suns fought", a sun miracle marked the fall of the Heau dynasty in China.
Likely one year and six months after Joshua's long day, the sun miracle February 5, 1239 BC, the first year of king Wan, predicted the fall of the Shang dynasy and the rise of the Chow dynasty of king Wan = in king Wan's first year in king Wan's dream, February 5, 1239 BC, when the phoenixes appeared to the west with the setting sun on mount K'e.
1179 BC 2 suns appeared.
In King Ching's 18th year, from 1168 BC, phoenixes appeared, 1150 BC.
720 BC "thunder without clouds", 719 BC eclipse recorded in February, day 42 of cycle 60, when there was no eclipse. The solar eclipse, year of reign 51, year of cycle 58, moon 2, day of cycle 6 = February 22, 720 BC. The difference is two years and 36 days. September 4, 2017 there was a fire ball over Kelowna, then a minute later a loud bang. Earth is travelling at 60,000 miles per hour around the sun. The fire ball hit the earth's atmosphere at 30,000 miles per hour. When God moved the sun to the other side of earth, earth travelled 60,000 miles per hour the other way. Therefore, asteroids would hit the earth at 120,000 miles per hour, at twice the impact!
Because asteroids in earth's path of orbit travel the same direction and about the same speed, then when God moved the sun to the other side of earth, not only would earth collide with these asteroids head on, earth would collide with many many asteroids. Thus, the Chinese would record "the stars fell like rain" etc.
Thus, the explosion of an asteroid/meteor could produce loud thunder without clouds.
Earth in a reverse orbit of the sun can be likened to Jesus' cross. The cross piece was against the grain. Earth's reverse orbit was against the flow of asteroids.
March 27, 718 BC was day 47 of cycle 60. The new moon was 5 days later, April 1, 718 BC. Thus, this day 47 is in the third month, the next month. This eclipse of the sun may be the death of king Ahaz in the month Adar this March 27, 718 BC or Ahaz may have died on the sixth day of the month, March 27, 717 BC. Then Hezekiah had the Passover in the second month perhaps May 3, 717 BC.
"In his 51st year, in the spring, in the 2nd month, on the day yih-sze (42nd of cycle) , there was an eclipse of the sun. In the 3d month, on the day kang-seuh, (47 of cycle) the king died."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.160.
One year later in 717 BC Hezekiah began to reign after the sun fell from the sky at Ahaz's death, 703 BC Hezekiah's sign, 688 BC "stars fell like rain" about Hezekiah's death, 648 BC stars fell like rain again = In King Seang's 3rd year it rained gold in Tsin - Manasseh's death, 645 BC.
About February, 464 BC the sun rose in west for Lu Yang in China,
In 312 BC the shadow of the sun lengthened more than 10 cubits and rose a cubit:
"In his 1st year, in the 10th month, King Seuen of Ch'ing came to acknowledge submission in our court of Leang..In his 2nd year, in the country of Ts'e, the ground where they measured the length of the sun's shadow lengthened more than ten cubits, and was elevated a cubit."
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.175.
The 2nd year was 312 BC which was a 49th year jubile from 1241 BC. There may have been a sun miracle, an omen, whereby King Seuen was made king. Then the sun may return one, or two years later to the date, and or move at six month intervals in those dates. The sun must suddenly set in the east or the west, and then presently appear to move up or down to keep earth in the same season.
230 BC sun returned to the meridian in China, 165 BC a yellow dragon appeared in Ch-eng-Chi, December 12, 164 BC sun returned to the meridian, in 103 BC Jupiter is depicted in a reverse orbit for three years, in 100 BC phoenixes appeared.
From Hezekiah's sun miracle where the sun rose in the west and set in the east in 703 BC are 600 years to this 103 BC.
High Priest, John Hyrcanus, was born in 164 BC and died in 104 BC.
The Temple was finished the third of Adar, February 10, 504 BC = 400 years to this 104 BC, and 500 years to 4 BC and the death of Herod when Joseph and Mary brough Jesus back from Egypt to Nazareth.
From 103 BC to 101 BC Jupiter regressed one sign per year as recorded in the Chinese Classics.
From 507 BC to 101 BC are 490 years = 70 weeks of years.
In 103 BC in April, Jupiter is in Aquarius and the sun in Taurus, Jupiter rising a few hours before the sun. In 102 BC Jupiter is in Pisces, in 101 BC Jupiter is in Taurus with the sun.
In 103 BC if all five planets moved 180° with the sun, Jupiter would appear in Libra at the end of the handle of the Big Dipper, 180° from where it would normally be in Pegasus/Pisces.
Arcturus is at the end of the handle of the Big Dipper.
"Sze-ma himself, besides saying that shet'e is Jupiter, explains the term to mean the place of the planet in the ecliptic; and again, with strange inconsistency, he says elsewhere it is the star or constellation to which the tail of Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) points."
"It ought to be stated that they saw the motion of Jupiter was in the opposite direction to that in which the "12 branches" are reckoned, and would give them in reverse order.
They therefore had recourse again to the Great Bear; and explained that the character to that month of any year when Jupiter rose before the sun in the east was the cyclical charater for that year.
They then tell us, that in the year 103 BC, Jupiter rose in the morning during the first month, which is Yin, the third of the 12 branches. This ought to be the cyclical character for 103 BC. But future chronologists made it Ch'ow, the second. Probably they did this because the History says that Jupiter was in Ch'ow. But if this was their reason, they over looked the fact that on the following year the planet is said to be in Tsze, and again after anothern year has elapsed, he is in Hae, going backwards over the characters.
They evidently lighted upon the wrong expression. The original runs thus, "In the Sheht'ekih year, the Yin of the year, moving to the left, is in Yin, and the star of the year (Jupiter) moving, in the opposite direction, to the right is in Ch'ow". The word Yin here is too vague to be translated. It means any thing which is the reverse of the star, or the counter part of the star.
Chinese scholars are fond of using this expression; the year is in Keah-tsze; but probably very few ever reflect on the meaning of the phrase, or know that it has its origin in the above passage from the Historical Records, much less could they say for certain whether it is in the yin of the year, or in the star of the year, that they intend to say is "in Keah-tsze."
The Chinese Classics, Astronomy of the Ancient Chinese, p.98.In 103 BC, the January sun would move 180° to Leo the July position. So that three months later, June, May, April; the April sun in this reverse orbit of 103 BC would be in Aries in spring, just like the sun would be normally. Likewise, the next few years the sun appear in Aries in April in this reverse orbit of the sun.
The difference is Jupiter appeared one month earlier each year instead of the usual one month later. Jupiter orbits the sun once every 12 months. Thus, earth was in a reverse orbit and Jupiter in a normal orbit.
The Jupiter appearing one month earlier each year. Jupiter in Pisces, then Aquarius, then Sagittarius.
Thus, the sun in Chow, the second month, April. Thus, Jupiter rise before the sun at dawn. Earth in the reverse orbit passing in reverse from the June position, May, April = Chow the second month of spring in April, but only briefly as the zodiac passes in reverse.
The sun moving to the other side of earth in January 104 BC to the July position, then three months later, earth in a reverse orbit, the sun appear in Pisces the March constellation - earth in a reverse orbit.
Thus, the sun must have moved to the other side of the earth in this 104 BC, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun, and Jupiter continued in its normal orbit. Jupiter moves one sign of 12 signs a year. Only, with earth in a reverse orbit, Jupiter would appear one month earlier each year instead of one month later each year. Thus, a sun miracle to mark the death of the High Priest Hycranus.
Josephus wrote: "Judah Aristobulus I, was the first Jew "in four hundred and eighty three years and three months" to have established a monarchy since the return from Babylonian captivity.
Back from this 104 BC, 483 years, is 587 BC. 69 X 7 = 483 years. The captivity began in 591 BC not 587 BC.
Forwards from the captivity in 591 BC, 483 years = 108 BC. This is a gap of four years!
Likewise, the sun coming out at midnight in 133 BC Africanus was the same exact date of the event in China in 139 BC. This is a gap of six years.
That means when the chronology was put together this Judah Aristobulus I was given the date 104 BC so that 483 years from the captivity in 587 BC = 104 BC, when the captivity was September 7, 591 BC = four years further back.
"Hycranus dying in 107 BC, Aristobulus I took the the title of King".
Jonathan Apphus died in 143 BC. However, these dates must be put three years further back. Then, Jonathan Apphus may have died in 145 BC, perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle in X45 BC, 38 years to 107 BC like 38 years of Jesus' perfect life from 45 BC to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
Thus, simply Aristobulus I became King in year 483 from the captivity from 591 BC and not 587 BC; in 107 BC, and not in 104 BC.
This was also done with the four years of every Olympiad, counting the captivity again at 587 BC instead of 591 BC.
The eclipse of Halys Turkey for May 28 of 585 BC likewise was supposed to be the fourth year of the 48th Olympiad 587 BC, but should be September 7, 591 BC, the fourth year of the 47th Olympiad.
Likewise, Tattenai, governor over Transeuphrates, was dated by the Olympiad to June 5, 502 BC, but must rather be four years earlier in 506 BC.
Likewise, the battle of Salamis was supposed to be on an Olympiad the solar eclipse of October 2, 480 BC, but must be two Olympiads more recent, September 27, 472 BC = a sun miracle that was the omen to halt the battle and let Xerxes go.
Then there may be a sun miracle in this 107 BC = 100 years to Jesus' birth about September 12, 7 BC.
Then there must be four more years of recorded history, four more years of Judah Aristobulus I = from the dying of Hycranus in 107 BC. Then after these four years, in 104 BC there must be a sun miracle, the sun be moved to the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit = the Chinese records for the planet Jupiter, for three or four years to 100 BC.
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Although, the captivity dates from 591 BC. 62 weeks plus seven is 69 weeks, 69 X 7 = 483 years. The date of John Hycranus' death 104 BC may be mistaken and be 107 BC = 483 years back to the captivity 591 BC. Form 107 BC = 100 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. "and three months" may date from the captivity September 7, 591 BC = December/January. Thus, John Hycranus may have died in January of 104 BC, God may move the sun 180° to the July position. Thus, earth in spring in China the sun in Pisces three months later.
In 103 BC "Jupiter belongs to the east" Spring in the east can only be in a reverse orbit. "the motion of Jupiter was in the opposite direction to that in which the "12 branches" are reconded, and would give them in the reverse order."
The Chinese Classics, p. 98.
There are solar eclipses visible in China for July 19, 104 BC, December 3, 103 BC and May 17, 101 BC.
This solar eclipse for July 19, 104 BC was barely visible at sunset in China:
This solar eclipse for December 3, 103 BC was partial:
This total solar eclipse for May 17, 101 BC was total just south of China:
Nevertheless God could still make the moon pass in front of the sun on those days to produce the solar eclipse that would normally occurr, as if earth was in a natural orbit. In 104 BC John Hyrcanus I forced the Galileans to convert to Judaism. Although there is evidence the Galileans had been Jewish for some time. He was succeeded by Aristobulus I in 104 BC, then by Alexander Yannai in 103 BC - 76 BC.
In the next three years from 103 BC, Jupiter was depicted in a reverse orbit in the three successive years falling backwards one zodiacal sign each year instead of forwards. With earth orbiting in reverse and Jupiter orbiting the same way as it had been, Jupiter would fall back one sign each year, instead of forward.
Hyrcanus II reigned from 75 BC to 67 BC. From 68 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD, are 100 years. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle in 68 BC.
12 more moons of Jupiter were discovered and reported on July 17, 2018, bringing the total to 79 moons of Jupiter so far. "Valetudo is something of an oddball. It has a prograde orbit at a distance where the rest of Jupiter's moons have retrograde orbits."
Small asteroids and moons may have escaped being moved in unison when God moved the sun and planets.
The earth must have turned 18° clockwise February 25 to keep in the same season. Then the sun would move 180° from Pisces to Virgo and progress, the zodiac progress, in reverse as earth orbited the sun in reverse.
Earth's zodiac would shift forward in precession to its 3000 AD north-south orientation. Thus, although earth may not have shifted, the zodiac = the sun must move up or down after moving 180° to keep earth in the same season, must have shifted in precession much the same way.
The sign for spring and fall would be the reverse and the signs of the zodiac would progress in reverse. Earth must have gone into a reverse orbit on Joshua's long day and perhaps the other planets also went into reverse orbits.
Then the planets could appear at the same O'clock time in the night sky - moving 180°, and the direction of their orbits apparent against the background stars must have been in reverse. It would seem impossible for the planets to appear at the same O'clock time through the year as they would have. It would seem the simplest way would be for God to move the planets 180° with the sun and the planets to continue in the same direction as normal at the same speed as normal. However, probably God moved the planets to appear at the same O'clock time at night in their seasons.
Then when the sun moved 180° back the planets would also move 180° back to where they normally would be. Thus, the planets would appear at their same O'clock position in the night sky through the seasons in the reverse orbit. And likewise they would move 180° with the sun back to their normal orbit when the sun moved back. All completely seamlessly. Thus, records of the planets would show they appeared in the night sky on the days they should have. Only the background stars would be different.
This is just an illustration of possibilites:
Just as we find the Chinese recorded Jupiter to be in the 12 signs a month earlier each year instead of a month later in 103 BC, 102 BC and 101 BC. Saturn and Jupiter must orbit the sun twice a year to appear in their seasons - the opposite of their standing still as earth orbits past in order to keep appearances. That is they must pull away at the same rate in the reverse orbit as earth normally pulls away from them for them to appear at the same times in the seasons.
We see stars travel west each night and pass on through the year to disappear in the west. Or the outer planets moved at the same rate only in reverse. Thus, Jupiter would move one sign backwards each earth reverse orbit year to appear a month later each year as it normally does. This means Jupiter could orbit at the same rate, only in reverse because earth was in a reverse orbit of the sun.
Probably what happened is Jupiter appeared a month earlier each year as it would appear orbiting earth twice a year in reverse when earth was in a reverse orbit.
This 103 BC is equal to a year 7, a sabbath fallow year, from 1241 BC using 49 year jubiles. Back from the 49 year jubile in 18 BC, 2 X 49th years 116 BC, - 2 X 7 = 103 BC.
If the sun had moved to the other side of the earth, then earth would be in a reverse orbit of the sun. Jupiter is farther away and need not move with the sun. Jupiter has an orbit of 12 years. Hence Jupiter moves one month westward each year. With Jupiter keeping its same orbit, it would appear to move one month eastward each year while earth orbited the sun in reverse. You can picture this easily. The sun was in Aquarius in spring in 103 BC.
The next year the sun was in Pisces in 102 BC. However, because earth was orbiting the sun in reverse the sun was in Pisces before it was in Aquarius. Thus, the month the sun was with Jupiter was one month earlier and not one month later each year.
Mathieu Ossendrijver at Humbolt University in Berlin noted Babylonian cuneiform tablets used trapezoids. To predict the planet's motion across the night sky as it appears to slow down. As earth passes Jupiter the nearness of our orbit makes Jupiter appear slower. Now in earth's reverse orbit with Jupiter's normal orbit, the effect is doubled. Thus, such a record would stand out more in earth's reverse orbit.
The speed of Jupiter each day varies from a fraction of a degree: 12° to 9.3° with the mean = 10.45°. The different speed is because when earth passes nearest Jupiter, Jupiter appears to regress about 10° against the stars. With Jupiter in its normal orbit, and earth in a reverse orbit, Jupiter would pass more quickly, orbit against orbit, and I believe the mean distance in this case would be larger.
Jupiter appears to be in its normal orbit from 103 BC to 101 BC while earth was in a reverse orbit. Thus, Jupiter fell back a lunar month a year instead of passing a month further into the west. Thus, Jupiter fell back each year a zodiac sign.
Tonight, June 10, 2019 Jupiter is in opposition = opposite the sun and closest to earth. In July 14, 2020 Jupiter will be in opposition again. Thus, you see Jupiter normally appears one month later each year, not one month earlier.
Jupiter appears to have moved with the other four planets back on king Wan's dream. In this case, Jupiter would appear in the same night time position in the sky = Jupiter orbiting the sun two times a year during earth's reverse orbit. This trapezoid should still work, just the back ground stars would be different. Then Jupiter and the other planets must move back exactly 180° one year later = king Wan's dream and the five planets in Fang/Scorpius = and earth flow out of the reverse orbit as if nothing had happened. These twelve days of Jupiter would the the twelve days, and 12°, the planet appears to move backwards as earth passes by Jupiter.
Babylonians Tracked Jupiter with Fancy Math, Tablet Reveals.
"They then tell us that, in the year B.C. 103, Jupiter rose in the morning on the first month, this is Yin (Aquarius), the third of the 12 branches. This ought therefore to be the cyclical character for 103. But future chronologists make it Chow, the second. Probably they did this because the History says that Jupiter was in Chow. But if this was their reason, they overlooked the fact that on the following year the planet is said to be in Tsze, and again after another year has elapsed, he is in Hae, going backwards over the characters. The word Yin here..means anything which is the reverse of the star."
The Chinese Classics III, Astronomy of the Ancient Chinese, p.98
Jupiter would be in Aquarius in 103 BC in any modern planetarium program.
However, the next year, 102 BC, Jupiter should be in Pisces but rather was recorded in Capricorn, then the next year, 101 BC, in Sagittarius, and the next, 100 BC, in Scorpius.
(1) Thus, Jupiter is in a reverse orbit going backwards over the constellations at the same rate it normally goes forward. Then this being a reverse orbit the sun must have moved 180° 2 or 3 years previous for Jupiter to be in Yin Aquarius in 103 BC, thus 106 BC - about the time of the siege of Samaria in 109 BC. Likewise for the other planets, in one quarter of an orbit the planet will be in the sign it would have been that year, half an orbit later again the planet will be in the sign it normally would have been 180° away and half an orbit later the planet of course will be back and be in the sign it normally would have been that year.
Jupiter and the planets may have orbited the sun in reverse at their normal orbit speed. For a planet to go backwards over the characters of the zodiac means the planet must be in a reverse orbit and likewise earth in a reverse orbit.
Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit the sun matching a sign of the zodiac each year. Jupiter does not have a apparent retrograde motion as earth passes by, such as the 10° retrograde motion of Mars as earth passes by over 30 days, because Jupiter is much further away. Perhaps this 103 BC marks earth in a reverse orbit of the sun from 106 BC - possibly the most recent record of a reverse orbit. Saturn's 29.5 year orbit matches the 28 lunar mansions of the 29.5 day lunar month. Only the lunar mansions are not evenly spaced because stars are not evenly spaced thus it would take several years to determine that slow moving Saturn was in a reverse orbit.
A mechanical astrolabe would work in reverse to show this reverse movement of the planets and zodiac through the years. In 103 BC the barbarous Alexander Jannaeus became king of the Jewish realm.
(2) In order for the planets to appear in their season in a reverse orbit Jupiter and Saturn would orbit the sun twice in reverse in a reverse earth year. See diagram. The planets rapid movement past the stars be very noticeable. Yet this does work to make the planets appear in the same O'clock time in their season and be 180° away from where they would have been half an orbit half a year or 365 days or multiples thereof later.
Thus the planets would appear normal at all times, even when the sun moved the 180° back, except the background stars. Jupiter would appear in a constellation of one of the twelve months a month earlier instead of a month later each year just as the Chinese recorded. The months would progress as normal just the constellation normally identified with that month would be different. Thus (2) is the most complete explanation. Then the sun miracle could have happened at any time of the year.
Nevertheless for Jupiter to be in Aquarius in the normal month of February, it follows the sun must have moved 180° on May 106 BC. May was the month of Pentecost and a sun miracle about 100 years before John the Baptist was born about the Passover March 16, 7 BC.
Thus a sun miracle on the day of Pentecost June 6 105 BC or May 7 105 BC would work. So close to April this means Jupiter would be in Aquarius in the sun in 103 BC. Counting 30 day months from the fourth month May 180° to November backwards to the first month in China Spring in February when the sun and Jupiter would be in Aquarius as normal in 103 BC, this does indeed work. That is, the Chinese must have counted their months by the constellations the sun was in rather than the forward order of time.
Thus the sign Jupiter was in with the sun went backwards one sign a year as the months went forward in time. What was noticed was Jupiter in the sun one month later each year as normal, only in one sign backward each year. 105 BC was the year following the fallow year of no sowing or reaping. Thus, they would be able to reap barley and eat at the feast of Pentecost in 105 BC just as they would at the feast of Pentecost when John was born in 5 BC.
Roughly the sun might have moved 9 X 180° east in May in 105 BC and again 9 X 180° east in 100 BC.
(3) The other way, an even better way, is if from 103 BC, these were 3 half reverse orbits covering spring. Then Jupiter could appear in Aquarius in the spring half of the year, falling behind to Capricorn the next year then to Sagittarius the third year.
Then the sun would have to move 180° east December 104 BC, 180° east June 103 BC normal orbit to, sun moved again December 103 BC and June 102 BC normal orbit to sun moved December 102 BC and June 101 BC and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. That is three half year, half orbits.
The sun can move 180° east for +12 hour longer nights/days six times. 6 X 12 = 72 hours. The missing time in three half reverse orbits is 3 X 24 hours = 72 hours. To counter the missing minutes, there would likewise need to be a corresponding three half reverse orbits to cover the autumn half orbit.
Then there would be no net missing minutes. Moreover, Jupiter moves ahead one sign a year. Then 180° from that sign is one sign back each year.
The month is given, not the sign. If each year Jupiter appeared in the sun in the March month, the February month and the January month could mean the sun moved 180°: in 103 BC the March month, in 102 BC in the April month and in 101 BC in the May month. Then in 102 BC in May Jupiter would be in the sun one sign backwards from where it was in April 103 BC.
God simply moving the sun to the other side of earth and earth in a reverse orbit and Jupiter untouched, Jupiter would fall back one month each year instead of moving forward and setting one month later each year as seen from earth's reverse orbit.
This is just a diagram of possible sun movements:
"The eclipse of the Moon which took place in Marchesvan (month VIII) began [in the east]. That is bad for Subartu. What [is wrong]? After it, Jupiter ent[ered] the Moon three times. What is being done to (make) its evil pass? . . ."
The Egyptian Book of the Dead, p.235. p.240.
Marchesvan (month VIII) falls between October and November in the Gregorian calendar. October = 8th month. Jesus was presented to the temple at the end of the eighth month, Jesus born the 17th day of the 7th month, circumcised the 8th day, 33 days later presented to the temple. 17 + 8 + 33 = 58 = the end of the eighth month. 58 / 2 = 29. There are 29.5 days in the lunar month. The first temple was finished in the month of Bul, the eighth month.
Moving the sun and moon around the earth three times, may make it appear that Jupiter appeared to enter the moon three times.
Here you see both Jupiter and the first quarter moon:
Here you see both Jupiter and the first quarter moon one month later:
"I have set him under thy feet forever, twice, everlastingly twice, O Osiris Ani, triumphant in peace." "Hail, ye gods, above the earth, pilots of the underworld. Hail ye gods, mothers who are in the underworld, and in the house of Osiris, twice."
This may refer to Jupiter and Saturn passing the star Sirius twice a year. The Egyptian calendar was marked with the appearing of Sirius before dawn July 16 every year.
That in a reverse orbit Sirius would not appear July 16 may mean vengeance was taken on Jupiter and Saturn as they passed by Sirius twice.
For Jupiter and Saturn to appear at their normal times they must orbit twice a reverse orbit year.
Otherwise, Jupiter must fall behind one month a reverse orbit year instead of ahead one month a reverse orbit year.
Refers to a lunar eclipse of 675 BC. Bel-suma-iskun (Babylonian scribe).
Quoted in Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, by F Richard Stephenson, Cambridge University Press, 1997, page 125.
(Stephenson's eclipses are given in dates BC from year 0, such as August 7 198 BC was a total eclipse but he has it as 197 BC.) Jupiter would orbit the earth twice an earth year to keep in the same position of the night sky in the same season it normally would have.
Thus Jupiter's speed past the night stars would be very apparent. Thus it would look like Jupiter entered the moon rather than the moon moved by Jupiter. Jupiter may start in a full moon. Then .6 the way into the next moon the moon would pass Jupiter. Then .8 the way into the next moon the moon would pass Jupiter. Then .6 the way into the next moon the moon would again pass Jupiter. Thus for three moons it would appear that Jupiter entered the moon three times. The moon normally passes through Jupiter. However, what was significant enough to write about is that Jupiter is obviously moving very fast against the background stars so it is not the moon passing through Jupiter but Jupiter entering the moon.
This indicates a reverse orbit because of a five planet conjunction in 679 BC that could not naturally be and perhaps earth still in this reverse orbit by 675 BC.
"The Sun was eclipsed; drums were beaten and oxen were sacrificed at the temple."
Record of several eclipses. Szu-ma Ch'ien, Shih-chi (Chinese 'Historical Record'), 104 to 87 BC.

Alternatively, all five visible planets may orbit the sun in a specific manner to appear at the same O'clock night time. The three outer planets, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars would almost circle the sun twice each earth year. The inner planets, Venus and Mercury, would orbit the sun differently too. Here you can see the five planets at the beginning of the year and at the half year point. At the half year point the sun, moon, and all five planets must move exactly 180° back, and earth may flow out of the reverse orbit without a trace. The height of the sun in the zodiac must move back the same as it had moved up.
The sun must move back to the zodiac path, and position it would have had had earth's orbit not been altered. The seasons on earth would continue without a trace anything had happened.
The full year point is similar because the outer three, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars must orbit the sun twice a year. The inner two planets Venus and Mercury after being moved 180° would orbit, but in reverse, and at their normal speed.
The two inner planets, Mercury and Venus, must also move 180° with the sun to the other side of the earth. Then for Venus to appear at the same height in the night sky as it normally would, would mean Venus could stand still and not move in orbit. Then as earth orbited the sun in reverse, Venus would pass by earth as it normally does. Venus almost standing still moving in reverse with the earth, and earth doing most of the moving. In a normal orbit Venus moves faster around the sun passing the earth. Thus, Venus standing still, and earth in reverse, Venus would pass by the earth hardly moving because earth was doing the moving. Thus, Venus too would appear normal.
The 27th lunar day of the first month of spring may be February 4, 108 BC. Then one and a half orbits later is August 10, 107 BC.
There may have been a sun miracle taken as an omen to appoint to Marquis February 4, 108 BC. One year later, day 27 of cycle 60 would be February 6, 107 BC. February 6, 107 BC was day 10 of the Passover month, the day to take the lamb in the house 4 days before the Passover night on the 14th day of the Hebrew lunar month. Then half an orbit later, August 10, 107 BC was the 17th lunar day of the 7th Hebrew month. Perhaps there was a sun miracle 100 years before Jesus' birth on the same lunar month and day. One year earlier would be August 10, 108 BC, the seventh day of the seventh month = half an orbit after February 4, 108 BC.
China's spring was a lunar month before the spring equinox, February or March. February 4, 108 BC or March 5, 108 BC:
February 4, 108 BC = the 27th lunar day of the first month of spring:
One year later, day 27 of cycle 60, February 4, 107 BC:
One and a half orbits later is lunar day 17 month 7, August 10, 107 BC:
Or, one and a half orbits after March 5, 108 BC is September 8, 107 BC, the 17th day of the 7th month = Jesus' birth December 12, 7 BC:
Likewise, Judah changed kings in the spring:
Ahaz may have died on the last of the month Adar, March 20, 717 BC. Hezekiah may have died at the sun miracle on the new moon, day 28, March 28, 688 BC "stars fell like rain". Thus, Hezekiah may have reigned 29 years from 717 BC to 688 BC. Then Hezekiah's sign must have been 14 years from 717 BC = 703 BC. Manasseh may have died in 645 BC when was an unidentified eclipse record, or 648 BC when stars fell like rain again. Thus, Manasseh may have been born in 700 BC and be 12 when Hezekiah died in 688 BC, and lived 55 years to 645 BC.
This March 28, 688 BC was a year 28 of cycle 60 from January 26, 2636 BC, and a day 28 of cycle 60. Jesus' birth was also in a year 28 of cycle, probably September 12, 7 BC.
Hezekiah was ill to the point of death, his 14th year from the age of 25 = 38 years old. The same age of Jesus when he went to the cross.
Romulus was said to have been born at the founding of Rome in 753 BC. He died 37 years later = 717 BC July 5. The same 38 years as Jesus. Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC to 801 BC, Uzziah reigned 52 years from 801 BC to 750 BC. The 49 year jubile to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD backwards = 752 BC and 801 BC, and Hezekiah's sign in 703 BC. Julius Caesar died March 15, 45 BC upon sudden darkness at noon, the full moon, the Passover = 38 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
You can see the eclipse record pages, page 103 and page 104, in the Chinese Classics:
Of the 37 eclipses two may not work and only one does not work. The eclipse for day 40 of cycle 60, sixth month in China, 591 BC must be September 7, 591 BC on the seventh day of the lunar month. The dates in the Chinese Classics are not exact because they did not have computers back then and did not use exactly the same calendar computer simulations use:
And the eclipse record for gui si day 30, 19 July 549 BC does not match. There was a total solar eclipse June 19, 549 BC, day 1 of cycle 60. This was the new moon; However, no eclipse record matches this date. This may have been a sun miracle half an orbit after the 24th day of the first month of the third year of Cyrus in Daniel.
The Dendera Zodiac with the severed leg of the bull in the center is dated from about 100 BC. See upsidedown.html.
Biblical chronology gives the date 1012 BC as Solomon's fourth year. Modern scholarship has cut off 60 years from this traditional date of 1012 BC to 952 BC for Solomon for unjustified reasons. This is 88 years too recent a date. Solomon's fourth year was 240 years after the Exodus, and was 1041 BC.
The correction was to match Pharaoh Shoshenk I with Shishak that invaded Judah in Rehoboam's fifth year, II Chronicles 12:1-4. Pharaoh Shoshenk I may have rather invaded Judah 73 years after Rehoboam's fifth year. Then the revised chronology is 88 years too late, leading to problems in synchronism with world history. Solomon must have died in 1004 BC and Rehoboam made king and the ten tribes revolted in 1004 BC, about 1000 years before the birth of Christ in 7 BC.
Simply, Pharaoh Shoshenk I invaded Judah in Rehoboam's fifth year, not 925 BC, but 1000 BC. The same 76 years further back = for Pharaoh Merneptah from 1205 BC back to 1281 BC.
If Hezekiah's Sign was in 703 BC (the kingdom of Israel must have ended 7 years after Hezekiah became king from 717 BC to 710 BC - 2 Kings 18:1, 17:1. Thus, the popular date for the destruction of Samaria of 722 BC must be rather 710 BC. Thus, Hoshea must have reigned for nine years as the king of Israel to the destruction of Israel in 710 BC.) the Bible chronology gives 1002 BC as Solomon's fourth year, a missing 37 years to 1041 BC according to the kings of Judah.
According to the kings of Israel there is 41 (63) years for Jeroboam II and 20 (27) years for Pekah. (The synchronistic length follows in parentheses, when it differs). Likewise Ahaziah began his reign when he was 22 according to the Septuagint rather than 42 in 2 Chronicles 22:2.
Then the differing lengths may agree with 1041 BC as the fourth year of Solomon.
Even my Bible chronology at the back of my bible gives only 53 years for Jeroboam II when it should be 63 years.
2 Chronicles 25:1 "Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem."
2 Kings 14:17 "And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
2 Kings 15:1 "In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign."
This means Amaziah reigned 29 years. Then Azariah reigned 38 years. Then we have all the years accounted for if Azariah reigned 38 years from 834 BC and Uzziah 52 years from 796 BC and a joint reign of Uzziah and Jotham of about 7 years. Then Jotham would reign from 749 BC and Ahaz from 733 BC, and Hezekiah from 717 BC and Hezekiah and Manasseh had a co-reign of 12 years from 700 BC to 688 BC while Manasseh was a child. The solar eclipse recorded for September 6, 776 BC was barely visible in China. Yet the day of cycle of 60 day 28 was this September 6, 776 BC.
The solar eclipse of September 6, 776 BC was barely visible in China. The day 28 of cycle 60 and the year 2 of cycle 60 776 BC and the lunar month ten all agree:
The annular solar eclipse of August 24, 897 BC cannot be "the day dawned twice".
"the day dawned twice at Zheng" in spring = a sun miracle on the Passover in Israel = the noon day sun in Israel retreat to the dawn position in Israel = the setting sun on China retreat to the noon position on China = the sun dawned twice.
There is gap of about 120 years of unrecorded history in China before 965 BC.
Emperor Ch'aou reigned 19 years, either after emperor K'ang died in 1107 BC or 19 years before emperor Muh in 965 BC. 120 years from 1088 BC = 968 BC. 120 years from 1107 BC to 987 BC and 19 years to 968 BC = only a 3 year adjustment to 965 BC.
Thus, there is a gap of 120 years of Chinese history.
Likewise a gap of 60 years some time after Yu from 2169 BC.
Huangdi began the 60 year and 60 day cycle not from 2696 BC but 60 years later from the new moon, January 26, 2636 BC.
King P'ing died not at the solar eclipse day 6 of cycle 60, February 22, 720 BC, but on 718 BC March 25 on day 47, five days after the sun miracle on the full moon day 42 March 20, 718 BC.
This may have been the Passover, then perhaps there was an hour of darkness at noon, as when Jesus was on the cross, then the Chinese would see the setting sun suddenly darkened and start a new month.
This they did because solar eclipses only happen on the new month when the moon passes in front of the sun.
The 49 year jubile was on 850 BC = half way of Amaziah's 29 years = the death of Jehoahaz and his son Jeroboam II's first year. 852 BC was the first year of King Le of China. There may have been a sun miracle in 852 BC that was taken as an omen both for a new emperor of China and a new King of Israel.
"In his first year, which was mow-shin (45th of cycle = 852 BC), when he came to the throne.."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.153.
Amaziah 29 years, lived after Jehoash 15 years to 838 BC. Then this battle should be 852 BC. A sun miracle the Chinese may have taken as an omen for a new emperor at this battle in Israel. The battle was at Bethshemesh = the house of the sun.
2 Kings 14:13 "And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits."
2 Kings 14:17 "And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
Romulus died at 37 years in 718 BC on the nones of "July". Due to dating inaccuracy, this could be the sun moving back 180° half an orbit after, 187 days after, March 20, 718 BC on the new moon September 23, 717 BC.
Yes, there was a solar eclipse visible from China, February 22, 720 BC on day 6 of cycle 60, not day 42 of cycle 60. Perhaps 42 was a misprint.
Perhaps the fifth day of the next month would be March 25, 718 BC when emperor P'ing died. Although February 22, 720 works as P'ing's 51st and last year.
Then Huan's first year should be 720 BC, his third year 718 BC.
Perhaps on day 42, March 20, 718 BC the sun moved to the other side of earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. Then one year later to the day, day 47 of cycle 60, March 20, 717 BC the sun moved back and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun. March 20, 717 BC was the 5th day of the lunar month. On a solar eclipse was the new moon. The new moon if on day 42, day 47 would be the 5th day of the month. Thus, the sun returned one year later on the 5th day of the month, day 47 of cycle 60, March 20, 717 BC.
The page in the Chinese Classics of the day 42, March 20, 718 BC eclipse, year 59 of cycle 60 from 2636 BC. The solar eclipse was, day 6 of cycle 60, February 22, 720 BC. These are two separate events for February/March. Only February 22, 720 was a solar eclipse. March 20, 718 BC has to be a sun miracle.
The third year of his successor King Hwan was recorded this total solar eclipse, on a keatze day, day one of cycle 60. However, June 6, 716 BC, is really day 11 of cycle 60. The eclipse record was it was total. The path of totality June 6, 716 BC is far south of China, in the south of Thailand.
Keatze meaning "one" may mean the day after lunar day 29, a new moon = eclipse. However, keatze is day one of cycle 60, not day one of cycle 30.
Hwan's first year is written 718 BC. But the solar eclipse of his predecessor and death of his predecessor, should be February 22, 720 BC. Counting from 718 BC would begin day 42 March 20, 718 BC. One year later be, day 47, March 20, 717 BC = a new moon. Hwan's third year may be 716 BC, a keatze year, and day 53 of cycle 60 = March 20, 716 BC. A sun miracle of darkness may mark the death of Ahaz in the spring of 717 BC, Ahaz' sign, and Hezekiah's first year = Hezekiah's 14th year on the jubile 703 BC and Hezekiah's sign:
Isaiah 7:11 "Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above."
This 717 BC should be Hezekiah's first year. Thus, P'ing died in 718 BC on the Bamboo Book date five days after the sun miracle recorded as a solar eclipse on day 42, to die on day 47 of cycle 60. Then Hezekiah's Sign must have been 14 years after in the spring of 703 BC, in Hezekiah's 14th year. This Omen may have prompted the King Hwan to leave Yin:
"Duke Huan, 3rd year, 7th month, day renchen, the first day of the month. There was an eclipse of the sun; it was total."
East Asian Archaeoastronomy, Solar Eclipses, p.31
Yes, the total solar eclipse through China, July 17, 709 BC is on day 29 of cycle 60 = renchen. This is 709 BC not 716 BC. Huan reigned from 719 BC.
There was a solar eclipse visible from China, July 27, 717 BC on day 51 of cycle 60. At least this is Huan's third year and 7th month, but not day 29 of cycle 60.
The next year, June 6, 716 BC was a solar eclipse, but not total in China, day 11 of cycle 60 not a keatze day. Thus, the keatze day that year, day one of cycle 60, September 23, 716 BC matches the return of the sun two and a half years from the sudden darkness on day 42 of cycle 60 second month, February 718 BC, mistaken for a solar eclipse, three years later exactly.
The Chinese Classics records July 7, 708 BC is day 24 of cycle 60 and not day 29, and hardly visible in China in the early morning.
So, a one year correction from 708 BC to 709 BC, day 29 of cycle 60, July 17, 709 BC works.
Here you see the total eclipse of June 6, 716 BC in Hwan's third year. However, as you can see the path of totality is south of Thailand, and not China.
Most importantly, Huan's third year is 716 BC not 709 BC. 716 BC is year one, a keatze year from 2636 BC. The first day, keatze day, may not be the new moon, but day one of cycle 60. A sun miracle on day 42, March 20, 718 BC, one year later, day 47, March 20, 717 BC, one more year later, March 20, 716 BC, day 53, half an orbit later, 187 days later = 53 + 7 (less 180) = day one of cycle 60. Thus, the sun must move back in the seventh month, but also in the third year of emperor Hwan, and the sudden darkness was mistaken for a total solar eclipse.
August 23, 716 BC is day 17 of the seventh lunar month, is day 29 of cycle 60. Jesus may have been born on the 17th day of the seventh month, September 12, 7 BC. Hezekiah's 14th year in 703 BC means his first year may be 716 BC. Hezekiah 38, the same age as Jesus, in 703 BC = 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice, means he was born in 741 BC, a 50 year jubile from Joshua's long day in 1241 BC.
Thus, this record Duke Huan, 3d year, 7th month is not of a solar eclipse. The claim this was the earliest solar eclipse record is false, because it was not an eclipse!
187 days after, half an orbit after March 20, 716 BC, is September 23, 716 BC, = the 21st day of the seventh month, September often was the Chinese seventh month as well, the last day of the feast of tabernacles. Day 42 + 5 + 5 + 187 = September 23, 716 BC. Then the sun may have been moved suddenly west to suddenly set on China on the keatze day, day one of cycle 60, September 23, 716 BC and was recorded as a solar eclipe. The sun on the other side of earth, earth may flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. Then the assumption erroneously was made that this was the solar eclipse in 709 BC.
The sun must move to the other side of earth three years to the day before this, September 21, 716 BC = also = day 42 of cycle 60. Sunday, September 21, 719 BC was the first day of the feast of tabernacles, the full moon, the 15th day of the lunar month. Thus, three years later, September 23, 716 BC was the last day of the seven day feast of tabernacles. Thus, earth may have been in a reverse orbit three full years. An example: for three years from 103 BC Jupiter fell back a month each year = earth in a reverse orbit and Jupiter in its same orbit.
716 BC to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD is 748 years (no year zero). Uzziah reigned 52 years from 802 BC to 750 BC. His 48th year would be 754 BC (the founding of Rome in 753 BC probably on the omen of a sun miracle) = 748 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC. The same 748 years. 748 = 12 X 12 + 12 X 50, 144 + 600. The Chinese emperor died in 606 BC, perhaps on the omen of a sun miracle. 607 BC = 600 years before Jesus' birth. From the death of Manassah king of Judah in 645 BC, when was recorded in China a solar eclipse record that may not describe a solar eclipse but a sun miracle, is 38 years to this 607 BC. Jesus lived 38 years from 7 BC to 33 AD.
From Joshua's conquest in 1241, the first year, 49 year jubiles to 16 BC, the 48th year ending and the 49th year beginning March 20, 33 AD = the first day of the spring equinox. Thus, this "48 years" to Jesus' sacrifice. Also, 716 BC was 700 years before the 49 jubile in 16 BC.
"in his (King Hwan's) 16th year (703 BC), in the Spring, K'euh-yuh extinguished Yin as the capitol of Tsin."
The Chinese Classics, The Annals of the Bamboo Books, p.161
King Hwan's first year was 718 BC, 59 of cycle 60. His third year was 716 BC, year one, keatze of cycle 60. Hwan's 16th year was 703 BC. Hezekiah's sign probably was in the spring of 703 BC. Thus, the sun miracle, Hezekiah's Sign where the sun retreaded ten steps, perhaps 10 hours - not ten degrees of 360 degrees, from sunset to sunrise, China would see the sun rise in the west to the noon position, may have been a sign to move the capitol to Yin.
King Hwan died in his 23rd year, third month, day Yih-wei = day 32 of cycle 60, the full moon, May 13, 696 BC. Or just after the full moon = 14th day of the Passover month = day 32 of cycle 60 = Sunday March 15, 696 BC. This should be the Passover. The king was often deposed on a sun miracle. An hour of darkness at the Passover at noon in Israel would be seen as a suddenly darkened sun at sunset in China. This pattern for the Passover could be a prelude to Jesus' crucifixion. Then the seventh year from the new year in 695 BC from when King Chwang began to reign may be 688 BC.
King Hwan died in his 23rd year, third month, day 32 of cycle 60. King Chwang began his reign one year later, February 27, 695 BC, on day 22 of cycle 60. On lunar day 10 of the first month in Israel when the Passover lamb was to be taken into the home for four days till the 14th day when the lamb was to be slain.
From the 10th day of the 1st month, 187 days later, half an orbit later when the sun may return September 1, 695 BC = the 17th day of the seventh month = Jesus' birthday.
Day 28, sin mao, fourth month seventh year, 688 BC, March 28, 688 BC on day 28, on the new moon when the sky would be dark, "stars fell like rain", When there the sun moved earth was often then in the path of on coming asteroids.
Then we see a pattern of 7 year cycles pointing to Jesus.
From Hezekiah's Sign in 703 BC = the 49 year jubile from Joshua in 1241 BC, to a sun miracle 696 BC seven years later, to a sun miracle seven more years later 688 BC = the 15th year Hezekiah was promised.
There may have been sun miracles seven years apart 155 BC, 148 BC and 141 BC recorded in China.
From 696 BC to Jesus' sacrifice in 33 AD is 728 years = 7 X 104 years. From 703 BC to 33 AD = 7 X 105 years = 735 years. Jesus began his ministry when he turned 35 years old when he read Isaiah 61 on Yom Kippur September 29 AD.
Sisera is recorded to have died in 681 BC, assassinated by his two sons. Perhaps there was a sun miracle his sons took as an omen to kill their father Sisera. Thus, sun miracles 703 BC, 696 BC, 688 BC and 681 BC.
Judges 5:20 "They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
"In the sixth year (From 695 BC = 690 BC) fifth month the king buried Hwan."
The Chinese Classics. p.161.
A sun miracle a year earlier would mean the sun must return on the same date. Thus, the question to Hezekiah: Shall the shadow advance ten steps or retreat ten steps. Either way the sun must return before the fifth month. Hezekiah was promised 15 more years. If Hezekiah's sign was in 703 BC, 15 years later would be on the new moon March 28, 688 BC.
This eclipse would just barely be visible from China almost 100 years earlier:
"In his 6th year (given from King Yew's first year 780 BC)...In the winter, in the 10th month, on the day sin-maou, there was an eclipse of the sun."
The Chinese Classics III, The Bamboo Annals, p.157
The eclipse, day 28 of 60, September 6, 776 BC, was just barely visible from China. However, the eclipses verify the dates of the Bamboo Books.
The Bible Chronology in the back of my Cambridge Bible gives 1012 BC when Solomon began to build the Temple. Hezekiah's first year is given 726 BC when it should be 717 BC because Senecherib was king in 705 BC and attacked Jerusalem in 703 BC in Hezekiah's 14th year. Then Hezekiah may have a co-reign with his son Manassah of about 10 years.
Then all dates move back, and Solomon would begin to build the Temple in 1041 BC. Solomon's fourth year should be 240 years, not 480 years, from the Exodus out of Egypt in 1281 BC = 1041 BC a 50 year jubile year. Then from 1041 BC - 1004 BC = 38 years = Jesus' life of 38 years.
Thus, Azariah may be a different king from Uzziah. Then the 38th year of the king may be the last year of one of the two kings. Thus, we now have the missing 38 years from Solomon beginning to build the Temple in 1241 BC.
2 Kings 15:7 "So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
15:8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months."
2 Kings 15:13 "Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria."
Thus, we see Uzziah or Azariah have a reign up to the 39th year. I propose Azariah reigned 38 years and Uzziah reigned 52 years. The names Uzziah and Azariah appear interchangeable.
2 Kings 15:32 "In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign."
27 + 38 = 65 years for Jeroboam II ! Not 41 years.
2 Kings 14:23 "In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years."
Then Azariah and Uzziah may be two different kings. Then we may add 38 years to the chronology. Then perhaps a sun miracle when Uzziah became king after Azariah in 796 BC in Chinese emperor Seuen's 32nd, year from 826 BC, when "a horse changed into a man" = the great Pan.
Then the sun miracle of 790 BC, a 50th jubile year from Joshua's conquest in 1241 BC, in Chinese emperor Seuen's 37th year from 826 BC when "a horse changed into a fox". The angel like a horse changed unto an angel like a fox.
Perhaps these were the four angels of God as described in Ezekiel. The founding of Rome in 753 BC must have been 5 years before Uzziah's last year in about 749 BC and 5 years before Jotham's first year. A sun miracle then may have commemorated the founding of Rome.
Isaiah 7:16 "For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings."
Isaiah 7:1 "And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it."
The two kings could be Rezin and Pekah.
A type of Herod's death in March 30, 4 BC when Jesus may have been two and a half years old.
2 Kings 15:5 "And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land."
If Azariah and Jeroboam II died in 802 BC, then Uzziah from 802 BC to 751 BC, then Jotham 16 years, then Ahaz 16 years, then Ahaz may have died on March 20, 717 BC.
Isaiah 14:27 "For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
14:28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden."
Perhaps the verse "and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?" refers to a sudden sunset in the west for Ahaz. Thus, this would be Ahaz's Sign.
Isaiah 7:10 "Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
7:11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord."
About this time in Isaiah 28:
Isaiah 28:21" For the LORD shall rise upH6965 as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work,H4639 his strangeH2114 work;H4639 and bring to pass his act,H5656 his strangeH5237 act.H5656 "
Strange H2114 means to turn aside. This may refer to God moving the sun to the other side of earth. Thus, God turned the sun aside. Rise up H6955 may refer to the sun suddenly ascending from the east.
Isaiah 28:20 "For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."
This previous verse Isaiah 28:20 may refer to a long nignt or a long day in which a man may have either too little sleep or too much sleep.
The eclipse of the last few days of the emperor before Huan was not the solar eclipse of February 22, 720 BC, but a sun miracle at the Passover, full moon, day 42 of cycle 60, March 20, 718 BC. Then emperor Huan's first year was then from the spring of 718 BC, his third year 716 BC - But there was no total eclipse in China in 716 BC.
"In his (King P'ing) 48th year, moo-woo (= year 55 of cycle, 720 BC, 769 BC was year 8 of cycle 60), the first year of the prince Goh of Tsin, there was thunder without any clouds."
The Chinese Classics, III p. 160
This must have been year 55, moo woo, 720 BC. This must be a cloudless day. Then in those days, in King P'ing's 51st year, three years later, on day 42 of cycle 60 there was an eclipse in 718 BC. This appears in contrast to day 6 of 60 February 22, 720 BC solar eclipse. The March 20, 718 sun miracle could have appeared as a lunar eclipse except the month was started from that date and the fifth day of the lunar month, day 47 of 60, March 25, 718 BC, the King died. Perhaps this was a sun miracle on the Passover, the full moon, March 20, 718 BC day 42 of cycle 60.
2 Kings 19:29 "And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof."
This may be 703 BC and the 49th year of Sabbath cycle. Then a 50th year jubile in 702 BC. Then in 701 BC the people could sow the land. Thus, Hezekiah's sign may be in 703 BC and be in "those days".
Sennacherib's Prism chronicling the siege of Jerusalem dates to 690 BC. 692 BC would begin the 50th year jubile from 1241 BC. Thus, the fallow farm land on year 49 and jubile year 50, and sowing the next year 690 BC and harvesting in 689 BC and perhaps Hezekiah's death one year later at the sun miracle in China in 688 BC. Then the children of Israel would sow in 691 BC and reap in 690 BC. Thereupon in 690 BC Sennacherib's army of 185,000 men be wiped out. Then Hezekiah would live one more year to 688 BC.
Thus, the parallel with Hezekiah and Jesus. Jesus began his ministry on the 50th jubile year September 29 AD. Jesus finished his ministry three and a half years later. Thus, Hezekiah in the 50 year jubile 692 BC and his death three and a half years later in March 688 BC. This is like the three and a half years of Jesus' ministry. The 49 year jubilee in 703 BC when Hezekiah was 39 when God told him he was to die at the age of Jesus when he was crucified, at the 49 year jubile April 3, 33 AD.
The captivity was seventy years = seven times ten 50 year jubiles they did not keep the fallow land, from 591 BC = 100 years before, this sign in 691 BC. 10 X 50 years = 500 years from 1091 BC the jubile fallow land not kept.
688 BC was when Sennecherib died.
2 Kings 18:13 "Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them."
Thus, 703 BC would be year 14, then Hezekiah's first year 717 BC.
The twelfth month, Adar, was on the new moon, day 47 of cycle 60, (The emperor died five days after day 42 of cycle 60 perhaps one year to the day after) March 20, 717 BC. This was perhaps when Ahaz died and Hezekiah became king.
2 Chronicles 29:3 "He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them."
On the new moon after Ahaz died, the day after March 20, 717 BC; Hezekiah opened the doors of the temple. A second month of Adar had already been added and ended March 20, 717 BC. Then a second month of Adar was added to this second month of Adar, Adar III, to give time to prepare for the Passover.
2 Chronicles 30:2 "For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem."
2 Kings 18:9 "And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
18:10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken."
Then there must be some co-reigns to 591 BC when Jerusalem was taken. Then Hezekiah must have lived past the jubile in 691 BC to the sun miracle, day 28, fourth month, March 23, 687 BC, or March 28, 688 BC.
"In the sixth year, (of Chwang), in the fifth month, he buried Hwan.
In the seventh year, in the summer, in the fourth moon, in the day sin mao, during the night, the fixed stars did not appear, though the night was clear (cloudless). In the middle of the night stars fell like rain." This sun miracle, the sun may have moved to the other side of the earth March 28, 688 BC, and prompted emperor Chwang to bury Hwan in the sixth year fifth month. Then in the seventh year the sun moved back March 28, 688 BC and earth flowed out of the reverse orbit of the sun.
"The Year 687 BC, in the summer, in the fourth moon, in the day sin mao (23 March according to the Chinese reference book on sexagesimal dates), during the night, the fixed stars did not appear, though the night was clear (cloudless). In the middle of the night stars fell like rain."
This must have been the new moon March 28, 688 BC. Then there would be no moon to obscure the stars. Thus, the stars should have been visible all night if there were no clouds.
2 Kings 19:35 "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses."
Sennacherib's invasion may have been in 703 BC. In most accounts Sennacherib's invasion was in 703 BC.
Hezekiah's sign of the shadow on the upper sun dial of Ahaz retreating ten steps, means the sun must move to the other side of the earth, and earth flow into a reverse orbit of the sun. One year later the sun may return on the same date but in the month of Adar, the sun standing still at noon = moving 180° in 12 hours to the other side of earth. Hezekiah's sign on the Passover, the third day of the week, Tuesday, March 13, 704 BC. One year later would be near the end of the month of Adar = the Assyrian Omen "if the sun in Adar stands still at noon."
The time of Sennerachib's siege on Jerusalem was perhaps the same time as Hezekiah's sign in 703 BC in the fallow 49th year jubile from 1241 BC of 703 BC.
There is a 4 year difference from the fall of Jerusalem September 7, 591 BC and the common date May 587 BC. The so called record of an eclipse at the fall of Jerusalem in May 585 BC was rather the sun falling from the sky in the seventh day of the lunar month seventh day of the week, probably September 7, 591 BC, when the temple was taken. So the fall of Jerusalem may be the same day as the Battle of Halys.
Perhaps there was a sun miracle of one hour of darkness at noon September 7, 591 BC and this was noticed and recorded as an eclipse by the Chinese on day 40 of cycle 60, September 7, 591 BC and as an eclipse the same day by the Lydians and Medes.
Then there needs to be 22 more years in the reigns of the kings of Judah and Israel. "Hezekiah was king of Judah at the time, and he outlived Sennacherib by 15 years (20:6). Upon his death, Manasseh his son reigned in his stead (20:21) for 55 years (21:1). Amon reigned after Manasseh for two years (21:19), and then Josiah reigned for 31 years (22:1).
After Josiah, Jehoahaz was king for three months (2 Kings 23:31), and then Jehoiakim reigned for 11 years (2 Kings 23:36). His son Jehoiachin reigned for three months, after which he was taken away captive by Nebuchadnezzar, who made Zedekiah king (24:10-17). Zedekiah reigned for 11 years (24:18), and then he was carried away to Babylon (25:6).
2 Kings 23:31 "Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah."
2 Kings 23:36 "Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah."
All of these reigns add up to 123+ years that transpired after Sennacherib's assassination." This adds up to 125 years. So from 703 BC to the captivity in 591 BC is 112 years. So there may be a co-reign of Hezekiah and Manasseh of 12 years to when Hezekiah died.
A sun miracle September 7, 591 BC = the destruction of Jerusalem, would be followed by a sun miracle one year later when the sun should return and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. So 365 days from the seventh day of the month is the 17th day of the month, September 7, 590 BC. Jesus may have been born on the 17th day, Sunday, September 13, 7 BC.
From 700 BC the 55 years to Manasseh's death perhaps at the sun miracle in 648 BC when stars fell like rain. "In his 3rd year, (from 650 BC) = 648 BC) it rained gold in Tsin."
The Chinese Classics III, The Bamboo Books, p.63
Then if we count Ahaz's death in 717 BC, the chronology from Solomon to the Captivity in 591 BC may all fit. Then to go back from 717 BC and Ahaz's death, we must add 38 years for Azariah as a separate person from Uzziah's 52 years. Thus, Azariah reigned 38 years from 840 BC, Uzziah 52 years from 802 BC. Uzziah reigned 52 years from 802 BC to 750 BC. Then Jotham reigned 16 years from 749 BC to 733 BC and Ahaz 16 years from 733 BC to 717 BC. Then all the chronology works to 1041 BC, Solomon's fourth year and the building of the temple 240 years, not 480 years, after the Exodus March 30, 1281 BC.
Then Manasseh may have died in 645 BC at the sun miracle recorded in China when stars fell like rain. August 28, 645 BC could be the solar eclipse, but what of the stars that fell like rain that year? Was it a natural meteor shower or sign of a sun miracle?
The book of Obadiah speaks of the revolt of Edom. This should be in the time of Joram king of Judah, perhaps at his death in 914 BC. Joash, the king of Judah, was born in 914 BC and reigned 40 years from 907 BC. There may have been a sun miracle at this time.
| King | date |
| Saul | 1124 BC |
| David | 1084 BC |
| Solomon | 1044 BC |
| Rehoboam | 1004 BC |
| Abijam | 986 BC |
| Asa | 984 BC |
| Jehoshaphat | 944 BC |
| Jehoram | 921 BC |
| Ahaziah | 914 BC |
| Athaliah | 913 BC |
| Joash | 907 BC |
| Amaziah | 868 BC |
| Azariah | 839 BC |
| Uzziah | 801 BC |
| Jotham | 749 BC |
| Ahaz | 733 BC |
| Hezekiah | 717 BC |
| Manasseh | 700 BC |
| Amon | 645 BC |
| Josiah | 644 BC |
| Jehoahaz | 614 BC |
| Jehoiachin | 614 BC |
| Jehoiakim | 614 BC |
| Zedekiah | 603 BC - 591 BC |
The back of my Bible gives this chronology of kings from Solomon in 1015 BC 428 years to the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC. With the differentiation of Azariah, one reigning 38 years and the other 52 years. Thus, an addition of 38 years because these are two separate people. From Hezekiah to the fall of Jerusalem was not 139 years from 726 BC to 587 BC, but was 126 years from 717 BC to 591 BC. Not 389 years from Solomon in 1015 BC to Hezekiah in 726 BC, but 327 years from Solomon in 1044 BC to Hezekiah in 717 BC. 389 - 327 = 62 years, 139 - 126 = 13 years. 62 - 13 = 50 years.
Thus, the addition of Azariah as a separate king from Uzziah one reigning 38 years and the other reigning 52 years matches all the chronology of the Kings.
In 745 BC was the record:
"In his 24th year, Ts'in instituted the sacrifices to the Precious ones of Ch'in."
Note: "The story is that two boys who changed to pheasants had made their appearance, and it was known, in a wonderful way; that he who got the female would become chief among the princes, while the possessor of the male would become king. They were called the Precious ones of Ch'in from the place where they appeared."
The Chinese Classics III, The Bamboo Annals. p 157.
From 769 BC (800 years to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD) 24 years is 745 BC = 38 years to 707 BC = King Hwan's 11th year from 718 BC;
"In his 11th year, - 1st year of the prince Seaou-tsze of Tsin, the chief of K'euh-yuh took prince Gae of Tsin prisoner, when the people of Tsin put Gae's son, known as prince Seaou-tsze, in his place. Wan, the baron of Juy, fled to Wei. Note Wan was driven out by his mother."
The Chinese Classics. p 157.
Thus a sun miracle in 745 BC and 707 BC.
King K'wang died in 606 BC = a sun miracle omen in 607 BC. King King died in 543 BC = a sun miracle omen in 545 BC. 505 BC the Milky Way was not visible in the sky. The foundation of the temple was laid in Darius' second year = 507 BC.
A pattern of years of Jesus' life at the rise and fall of many Chinese emperors.
This 743 BC was about when Hezekiah was born. 703 BC - 14 years - 25 years = 742 BC. Hezekiah may have been a type of Christ. He was 38 years old when Isaiah gave the message of God that he was to die. Jesus must have been 38 years old when he was crucified.
They frequently recorded seeing female and male phoenixes. The male phoenix was the dragon and the symbol of the emperor. Counting from 769 BC the 24th year was in 745 BC.
The fall of Samaria was in Hezekiah's sixth year from 718 BC = 712 BC:
2 Kings 17:1 "In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years."
2 Kings 17:6 "In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes."
Back from Hezekiah's first year 718 BC / 717 BC 16 years = 734 BC; 734 BC - 12 - 9 = 713 BC = the sixth year of Hezekiah from 718 BC.
Hezekiah reigned from 718 BC the same year as the emperor of China King Hwan.
"In his 51st year, in the spring, in the 2nd month, on the day yih-sze (42nd of cycle 60) there was an eclipse of the sun. In the 3d month, on the day kang-seuh (47 of cycle 60), the King died."
The Chinese Classics. p.160
There was no solar eclipse. This must be a record of a sun miracle in the spring of 718 BC whereupon King Ahaz died at the end of the month of Adar/February and was the omen for King P'ing in China to die.
2 Chronicles 30:2 "For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month."
This 2nd month in China and this 2nd month in Israel on the Passover may be the same month and a sun miracle, the Passover May 15 and day 42 May 19, 718 BC
May 8, 716 BC is day 42 of cycle 60, and the new moon between month 2 and month 3:
Perhaps there was a sun miracle at the death of King Ahaz in 718 BC and again in Hezekiah's sixth year, and again in Hezekiah's 14th year = the sun retreating 10 steps = 10 hours, or 10 X 10 degrees = 100° = 6 hours, in the upper sun dial of Ahaz.
2 Kings 18:10 "And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken."
"In his fifth year (from 718 BC) the first year of duke Woo of K'euh-yuh, the people of Juy, Shing-king, the people of Seun, and the baron of Tung, all rebelled against K'euh-yuh."
There is a legend of a sudden darkness when Samaria was taken, a sun miracle that could provoke rebellion in China.
Ahaz may have become king in 733 BC, 16 years back from 717 BC.
"In his 32nd year (from 769 BC = 738 BC), Fan-foo of Tsin murdered his ruler...In his 33d year, kwei-maou (40th of cycle 60) 736 BC, the first year of prince Heaou of Tsin, the people of T'soo over ran Shin."
There may have been a sun miracle.
Ahaz may have died 717 BC. Thus, there is 16 years in Ahaz' reign.
Counting reigns from then on we come to Zedekiah's 12th year in September 7, 591 BC when Jerusalem fell. Then Hezekiah may have fathered Manasseh in 700 BC. Manasseh came to reign when he was twelve, perhaps when Hezekiah died then in 688 BC.
Isaiah 38:19 "The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
Hezekiah may not have had any children yet. Manasseh may have been born a few years later in 700 BC.
A case can also be made for changing the direction of earth's course in its orbit of the sun: "When policy goes bad in spring, stars shrink, and will not abide as usual"
Wen-tze.
Wen-tze wrote in 500 BC:
Translation I
A good man would have the constitutions of a strong mind and a bright deed. A mind as strong as heaven and earth. A deed as bright as sun and moon. Heaven and earth bear all things. Sun and moon shine all things. Great man shows his mercy to all people steadily and continuously. Change not and cease not.
Therefore, all nations follow his order as grasses bend to wind. A ruler's impolicy in Spring, as Jupiter alters its appearance abnormally. His impolicy in Summer as Mars slides out of it's course; impolicy in autumn likes Venus slip out of it's place. Impolicy in Winter as Mercury shows no light.
An year round impolicy likes shaking Saturn, fading Sun and Moon. The out of orbit five planets and the coming Comet.
East Asian Archeeoastronomy, p.241
Translation II by Xueshun a worker in Taiwan:
"An year round impolicy likes shaking Saturn, fading Sun and Moon. The out of orbit five planets and the coming Comet" The sun dark = the moon dark, two hours later sun light from Saturn would be dark too. The effects of gravity of moving the sun may disturb the outer solar system and bring in comets.
"A strongman is strong inside and bright outside. Strong inside like heaven and earth, and bright outside like sun and moon. Heaven and earth will continue to go their round, and sun and moon will continue to shine. Great man shows goodness to people, never changes his causes, never changes his routines, then the whole nation will obey his order like grass goes along with the blowing of the wind.
When policy goes bad in spring, stars shrink (if the earth orbited the sun in reverse the stars would rise later every evening), and will not abide as usual. Policy goes bad in summer, temptations go against people, policy goes bad in autumn, the sun will not rise and set down as usual.
When policy goes bad in winter, stars will not serve their country. When policy goes bad in four seasons, all stars shake, sun and moon will drop down, five stars will lose their order, and the comet will come out. When policy goes well in spring, the corns get nourished, policy goes well in summer, rain falls in due time, policy goes well in autumn, people will be diligent, and prosper, when policy goes well the whole nation will be peaceful and rich. (Policy or method)"
Wen-tze
"sun and moon drop down" could be the sun moving 180° in summer. For the season to be the same the sun must appear at the same latitude = six months away in the zodiak.
2 Samuel 22:8 "Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth."
"the foundations of heaven moved and shook" = all stars shake.
"the comet will come out" The comet of 467 BC may not be the comet Halley, for it should not be visible to the naked eye. King Ching-Ting became the emperor in the spring of 467 BC, perhaps on an omen of a sun miracle on the Passover, and the movement of the sun may have drawn a comet into our solar system.
The sun appearing to drop down would just be the sun moved 180° to stars normally six months away. That is, the sun dropping down against the stars of the zodiac. "all stars shake" could refer to the bobbing of the earth while the sun moved around the earth.
God may move the sun 180° to the other side of earth so earth can flow out of the reverse orbit. Then, He may move the sun up or down to keep earth in the same season.
The 5 stars are the 5 visible planets. The five old men in China are the 5 visible planets. The planets must move 180° very fast to appear at the same time of night and reverse their orbits around the sun also at extreme speeds.
"A ruler's impolicy in Spring, as Jupiter alters its appearance abnormally...An year round impolicy likes shaking Saturn, fading Sun and Moon. The out of orbit five planets and the coming Comet." Jupiter and Saturn must orbit the sun twice in one earth reverse year.
Saturn is so far away it may appear to shake when moving the planet at a high speed to appear in sync with the sun and moon and other planets. The appearing of the comet with sun miracles may be the gory of God appearing.
Translation I
"When the sky, hostile to living things, wishes to harm them, it burns them, the sun and the moon grow thinner and are eclipsed, the five planets leave their course, the four seasons encroach one on another, the day grows dark,"
Wen-tze 2
Translation II
"(If one goes) against the heaven and is brutal to (living) things, the sun and moon will not be bright and will be eclipsed, the five planets will miss their courses, the four seasons will encroach one on another, the day will grow dark and night bright, mountains will collapse and rivers dry, and there will be thunder in winter and frost in summer."
Wen-tze 2
"against the heaven" may refer to earth in a reverse orbit against the normal zodiac. The five visible planets must move 180° with the sun to the other side of the sun, and orbit the sun in reverse also, so they would "miss their courses". The day growing dark may refer to the sun moving 180° against earth's rotation to set suddenly in the west.
Or also, the sun moved 180° in summer and then earth would be at winter's incline until God shifted the sun and the plane of the solar system to keep earth in the same season. The "night bright" may refert o the sun standing still in the west, such as Zechariah 14:7 and there being 24 hours of night, a 360° view of the stars, from China.
The "rivers dry" may refer to the weather change in a reverse orbit. If the sun moved 180° in summer, earth would have a winter sun inclination.
Likewise, if the sun moved 180° in winter, earth would have a summer inclination till the sun moved up or down that day. Also a long day or long night would also make for warm or cold weather.
This could mean stars rose later each night instead of earlier. Confucius wrote about the four seasons and stated there are short days and long days. Of course a winter day is short compared to a summer day. However, he may be stating on a sun miracle the day may be short or the day may be long.
Confucius said he saw the unicorn in the sky twice in his life time. Confucius was born 551 BC and lived 73 years to 478 BC. He may have seen sun miracles, and the phoenix and dragon, in 507 BC, 504 BC, 480 BC.
Zeus, the king of the gods, is requested that the sun set not for the battle:
"Father Zeus! Ruling over us all from Ida, god of greatness, god of glory! Helios, Sun above us, you who see all, hear all things! .. be witness here, protect our binding pacts." "Zues, however, favoured Atreus, and sent Hermes to him, saying 'Call Thyestes, and ask him whether, if the sun goes backward on the dial, he will resign his claim to the throne in your favour?' Atreus did as he was told, and Thyestes agreed to abdicate should such a portent occur.
Thereupon Zues, aided by Eris, reversed the laws of Nature, which hitherto had been immutable.
Helius, already in mid career, wrested his chariot about and turned his horses' heads towards the dawn.
Iliad 3.331
The seven Pleiades, and all the other stars, retraced their courses in sympathy; and that evening, for the first and last time, the sun set in the east. Thyestes's deceit and greed being thus plainly attested, Atreus succeeded to the throne of Mycenae, and banished him."
"The Greek Myths" by Robert Graves, volume 2, page 45
The sun at noon set suddenly in the east = Amos 8:9, = Hezekiah's sign March 703 BC, = the sun at sunset in China rose to the meridian in 230 BC, = the sun at sunset in China again rose to the meridian 164 BC.
That all the stars retraced their courses can only mean a reverse orbit = reverse zodiac. "In Apollodorus (Epitome 2.10-14) Thyestes claims the kingship on the basis of his ownership of a golden lamb, but Zues declares his displeasure at this by reversing the sun and making it set in the east."
GVS
"Then in his anger arose Zues, turning the star's feet back on the fire-fretted way; yea, and the sun's car splendor-burning, and the misty eyes of morning grey. And the flash of his chariot-wheels back-flying flushed crimson the face of the fading sky...the sun...turned backward...with the surge of his wrath in affliction repaying mortals."
Euripedes, Electra, (transl. A.S. Way), ll. 727 ff.
Note the Mycenae civilization fell 1100 BC. The sun heading for the dawn for Atreus could be any of a number of sun miracles recorded by the Chinese. Homeric Hymn to Athene: "The bright son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while"
Velikovsky's Sources
Possibly a reference to the sun standing still for Joshua. Another reference to a reverse orbit/zodiac can be found in:
Philo's section 109, Velikovsky's Sources.
"For just as the annual seasons circle round and round, each making room for its successor as the years ceaselessly revolve, ..yet the strangest of contradictions, are made immortal as they ever run their race backwards and forwards and continually pass along the same road up and down."
Politicus, Plato, 431 - 351 BC:
"Str. No, not that; but another part of the story, which tells how the sun and the stars once rose in the west, and set in the east, and that the god reversed their motion, and gave them that which they now have as a testimony to the right of Atreus...
Str. Listen, then. There is a time when God himself guides and helps to roll the world in its course; and there is a time, on the completion of a certain cycle, when he lets go, and the world being a living creature, and having originally received intelligence from its author and creator turns about and by an inherent necessity revolves in the opposite direction.
Y. Soc. Why is that?
Str. Why, because only the most divine things of all remain ever unchanged and the same, and body is not included in this class. Heaven and the universe, as we have termed them, although they have been endowed by the Creator with many glories, partake of a bodily nature, and therefore cannot be entirely free from perturbation. But their motion is, as far as possible, single and in the same place, and of the same kind; and is therefore only subject to a reversal, which is the least alteration possible. For the lord of all moving things is alone able to move of himself; and to think that he moves them at one time in one direction and at another time in another is blasphemy.
Hence we must not say that the world is either self-moved always, or all made to go round by God in two opposite courses; or that two Gods, having opposite purposes, make it move round. But as I have already said (and this is the only remaining alternative) the world is guided at one time by an external power which is divine and receives fresh life and immortality from the renewing hand of the Creator, and again, when let go, moves spontaneously, being set free at such a time as to have, during infinite cycles of years, a reverse movement: this is due to its perfect balance, to its vast size, and to the fact that it turns on the smallest pivot.
Y. Soc. Your account of the world seems to be very reasonable indeed.
Str. Let us now reflect and try to gather from what has been said the nature of the phenomenon which we affirmed to be the cause of all these wonders. It is this.
Soc. What?
Str. The reversal which takes place from time to time of the motion of the universe.
Y. Soc. How is that the cause?
Str. Of all changes of the heavenly motions, we may consider this to be the greatest and most complete.
Y. Soc. I should imagine so.
Str. And it may be supposed to result in the greatest changes to the human beings who are the inhabitants of the world at the time.
Y. Soc. Such changes would naturally occur.
Str. And animals, as we know, survive with difficulty great and serious changes of many different kinds when they come upon them at once.
Y. Soc. Very true.
Str. Hence there necessarily occurs a great destruction of them, which extends also to-the life of man; few survivors of the race are left, and those who remain become the subjects of several novel and remarkable phenomena, and of one in particular, which takes place at the time when the transition is made to the cycle opposite to that in which we are now living.
Y. Soc. What is it?
Str. The life of all animals first came to a standstill, and the mortal nature ceased to be or look older, and was then reversed and grew young and delicate; the white locks of the aged darkened again, and the cheeks the bearded man became smooth, and recovered their former bloom; the bodies of youths in their prime grew softer and smaller, continually by day and night returning and becoming assimilated to the nature of a newly-born child in mind as well as body; in the succeeding stage they wasted away and wholly disappeared. And the bodies of those who died by violence at that time quickly passed through the like changes, and in a few days were no more seen.
Y. Soc. Then how, Stranger, were the animals created in those days; and in what way were they begotten of one another?
Str. It is evident, Socrates, that there was no such thing in then order of nature as the procreation of animals from one another; the earth-born race, of which we hear in story, was the one which existed in those days-they rose again from the ground; and of this tradition, which is now-a-days often unduly discredited, our ancestors, who were nearest in point of time to the end of the last period and came into being at the beginning of this, are to us the heralds.
And mark how consistent the sequel of the tale is; after the return of age to youth, follows the return of the dead, who are lying in the earth, to life; simultaneously with the reversal of the world the wheel of their generation has been turned back, and they are put together and rise and live in the opposite order, unless God has carried any of them away to some other lot. According to this tradition they of necessity sprang from the earth and have the name of earth-born, and so the above legend clings to them."
Plato lived 70 years from 458 BC to 390 BC. Plato was born when Xerxes died.
"The early Christians used as their symbol for Pisces the 2 fishes going in opposite directions." Perhaps meaning the zodiac going forward or in reverse. Pisces was named about 2307 BC when Joseph became governor over Egypt when the sun was in Pisces and the two fishes may have meant two messengers. You cannot follow people going in opposite directions. Perhaps these early "Christians" had broke away from following the ministry of the apostles already. Perhaps to determine March 21 and the spring equinox rather with Pisces than with Aries because of precession because the equinox had just slipped from Taurus to Airies to Pisces. Perhaps in symbolism of the two fishes and five loaves Jesus fed the multitude.
Perhaps to signify Spring with the Christ with Aries the Ram, with the resurrection and the Lamb. Perhaps also they were aware of the many early records of a reverse zodiac/orbit. If the sun moved 180°, the stars that rose with the sun must now set at the break of day.
In a reverse orbit the sun would appear to travel from east to west against the stars through the year and the stars would appear to travel west to east through the year. Rather than earth reversing its rotation. Plato noted that this reversal is the greatest and most complete of all changes. Only an eye-witness account of a reverse orbit could be so descriptive. This is a very explicit and direct description of a reverse orbit. That sometimes earth's orbit was natural and sometimes guided by God is evident and true in comparing a normal orbit with a reverse orbit. In a reverse orbit the earth must orbit the sun 48 hours faster a year to keep the 365 days in a year because rotations are against orbit.
Then people living during a reverse orbit may experience long days of +60 hours in one day.
48 hours to make up for the year and +12 hours to make up for an 180° westward movement without a countering 180° eastward movement of the sun. An example of the way people at the time thought of time slowing during a reverse orbit is given, translated by Robert Fitzgerald:
Aeneid Virgil 849 "Our life is work away with iron. A spear reversed will goad an ox. And a slow old age Enfeebles no mans bravery or vigor.
855 You people dress in yellow and glowing red,"
The ox is the bull of the northern pole star that is goaded rather than speared. Thus, there is a shift in the zodiac and a reverse orbit and days are 8 minutes shorter. This 8 minutes adds up to 48 hours of a sped up reverse orbit. 365 X 8 / 60 = about 48 hours. Then the sun stands still for 12 hours or multiples of 12 hours, up to 10 X 12 hours, and is ruby red rather than yellow.
If you goad a horse it will back up. Thus, with the sun on the other side of earth, and earth in a reverse orbit, the sun would appear to pass through the zodiac in reverse.
Most reverse orbits seem to be for one year at a time. Thus, there would be no net missing time after factoring in the long days of the sun miracles themselves. Nevertheless, a sped up earth may have still been noticeable to the ancients. They may have noticed the long days corresponded to the missing time and thus knew how much time they were missing. Phoenixes in China were believed to be good omens that brought prosperity, rain, and made men younger.
In the 48 hour sped up orbit, men were this 48 hours younger. Only the 48 hours of long days would equal their true age.
"The thickened air concealed the heaven from view, and the stars were confused with a disorderly huddle of fire and moisture and violent fluxions of winds. The sun was not fixed to an unwandering and certain course, so as to distinguish orient and occident, nor did he bring back the seasons in order."
Plutarch, Isis and Osiris, p.49
Winds were affected, however, winds leave no trace.
"So all the gods who ruled over the regions together with the greatest parts of the cosmos that belonged to their charge; and as it turned about the one that was beginning and the one that was now ending, it produced a great tremor in itself, which in its turn brought about another destruction of all sorts of living things. After this, when sufficient time had elapsed, it began to cease from the noise and confusion and attained calm from its tremors; it set itself in order, into the accustomed course that belongs to it.."
Plato, Complete Works, p.315 the Statesman 273
This may be the volcanic eruption of the Santorini volcano of Thera Minoan Crete, commonly called the Minoan eruption. Dated 1630- 1600 BC geologically or 1500 archaeologically. Thus, the Egyptian archaeology is still 76 years too recent. Egypt lapsed into renewed turmoil with drought, dated to about 1630 BC, should be corrected by the 76 years further back.
Even the dates of the Pharaohs should be not 76 years further back, but 115 years further back than the common Egyptian chronology. This may have been about the beginning of the 400 years the children of Israel were to be enslaved in Egypt, 1680 BC - 1281 BC. Then there may have been a sun miracle then, that perhaps by design triggered this eruption.
The eruption of Santorini may be in 1658 BC = Pharaoh Ahmose' 22nd year from 1681 BC.
The zodiac was affected, the sun moving 180°. When they saw the sun move 180° sometimes four times in a lifetime they would come to realize the sun was not fixed but on occasion moved 180° around the earth. Thus, the psalmist said the earth is fixed it cannot move. Also the seasons, that is, the signs of the zodiac progressed in reverse as well.
"The inhabitants of this country say that they have seen it from their ancestors that the sun now sets where it formerly rose."
Solinus, Polyhistor, xxxii.
The sun appears to move west to east through the stars through the year. Thus, the zodiac progresses clockwise. In a reverse orbit the sun would appear to rise from which it formerly rose, that is the sun would appear to travel east to west through the year. That is, at noon in summer one may look to the eastern horizon to the constellation the sun was in that spring.
Plutarch: "The sun, moon and five planets came into being to define as well as preserve the measure of time."
Then the planets must show up at the same time of night the night after the sun moves 180°. Then the planets must move 180° and reverse their orbits against the sun also to continue to show up at the same time each night as they would have.
Above you see the normal position of the sun at left in winter in the northern hemisphere. The earth does not wobble to produce the seasons. The change of seasons is due to the change in the angle of the sun as the earth orbits while earth's axis points to the pole star. Note: the earth is closest to the sun in winter, farthest in summer. The Milankovich cycles change earth's orbit. So in the last ice age the earth was farthest away from the sun in winter.
Above you see the result if the sun moved around the earth 180° in winter in the northern hemisphere and earth shifted to keep in the same season. Rather the sun must move up or down to produce the same effect. - To keep earth in the same season instead of earth shifting. Nevertheless, the solar system shifting or the earth shifting is the same model. Notice earth's northern hemisphere is angled away from the sun. If the earth shifted, the earth must pivot 180° also to keep the same season on earth.
This pivot of 180° is like twisting earth's globe 180° on a table. Then earth's northern hemisphere is effectively shifted 47° away from its former pole position. 23.5° + 23.5° = 47°.
Thus, you can see the effect of this 180° twist is to shift earth 47° left from earth's normal tilt above to earth's shifted tilt just below it to keep earth in the same season. Or the sun must move up or down to keep at the same angle to earth. Thus, you see the right earth angled toward the right sun. Also the right earth's axis now points 45° from the former pole star accomplished by the 180° pivot on a vertical axis. This example zodiac depicts just such a turn. Earth would appear to be "upside down" because north points 180° away.
However, if the sun moved up or down earth would not need to shift to keep in the same season. The plane of earth's orbit would shift instead. Earth would still point to the same pole position.
Even this movement of the sun up or down and a shift in earth's orbit, still earth would pass through the same constellations of the zodiac, only the sun be six months, 180° away, to the other side of earth, and zodiak go in reverse in the reverse orbit. The more things change the more they remain the same.
Jeff Suzuki wrote:
Okay, so we have the earth's axial turn making the seasons milder in the northern hemisphere. But it wasn't always so!
Due to the action of the moon (mainly) and the other planets, the direction of the earth's axis changes over a period of 26,000 years
(this is the precession of the equinoxes).
YES
Right now, winter occurs : when the earth is closest to the sun --- but in 13,000 years, the opposite situation will arise, winters will be colder and summers hotter.
YES
On top of that, the other planets cause variations in the earth's eccentricity and aphelion/perihelion position. These conspire to form the various Milankovich cycles, often viewed as the main culprits in forming ice ages.
This is a theory only. Long-term calculations of orbital stabilities in a multi-planet system show chaotic behaviour.
This is not(?) consistent with the assumed stability of the Solar System. In short, we don't know the whole story yet; there are important components that don't really work. I wouldn't assume too much.
The correlation is *really* rough, and does not seem to explain the entire series of glacial events documented by glaciologists.
For example, 13,000 years ago, the coldest point for northern hemisphere winters (ideally), we were already dropping out of the last large ice age (which peaked at around, what? -- 18,000 years or so). In fact, temps were approaching modern levels some 13,000 years ago (demonstrating the rapid variations in climate during the last ice age).
Plus there was another extension at around 11,000 years ago which didn't quite reach as far as the 18,000 year peak. This last extension did die away quickly, so that by 10,000 years ago few, if any, of the large continental glaciers remained.
There are probably a number of complicating issues.
Firstly we don't really know the behaviour of the atmosphere and climate system in response to changing patterns and intensity of solar energy input. For example, we do not know how the degree of cloud cover (albedo) responds to these changes. Clouds could provide a buffering mechanism against temperature change.
However, there will be a range of control only, and when for some reason we drop outside that range, change could be rapid. Then of course, when snow cover increases, the albedo process starts to work the other way, making the earth cooler.
It all comes down to its being relatively easy to predict the mean energy input to the earth at the top of the atmosphere. However, from there on things get much more difficult.

There are three factors: 21,000 year cycle: Earth's combined tilt and elliptical orbit around the Sun and the precession of the equinoxes - 25,800 years, shift in earth's axial tilt - 41,000 years (earth's tilt varies from 23° to 24°), eccentricity of earth's orbit - 100,000 years (earth orbits further away from the sun).
Thus, these 41,000 year cycles in earth's orbit can be observed back millions of years.
Stephen R Gould srgould@worldnet.att.net has updated us as follows:
"I think that meteorology has come a long way since then. Without hunting through for references, let me put you on the right track. As i understand it, if one solves the differential equations that describe the earth's weather, there are two stable solutions, ice age and current climate.
Anything that perturbs the current climate sufficiently may cause a non-linear feedback (chaotic) effect such that the weather pattern may then move to an ice age equilibrium.
A huge volcanic eruption cause the equivalent of a nuclear winter may be sufficient, or very volatile weather from other causes. Merely moving away to the farthest point in an elliptical orbit won't do it.
Once one has an ice age, a perturbation is needed to move it out again as the albedo - the surface reflectivity - of the earth is sufficiently high that much of the sun's radiation is reflected off, hence no warming takes place even when the earth is closer. But that could come from some other geological activity.
There's no need to invent theories that violate the laws of celestial mechanics."
My response to this last comment is God is not bound by these laws of celestial mechanics.
Michael Newman michael_newman@my-deja.com has updated us:
These "scientists" are correct (orbits and glaciation are still unexplained). The elliptical period for the earth's rotation around the sun is approximately 1 year.
This is a fairly simple application of Kepler's laws and Newtonian mechanics. First order corrections were first derived by Einstein and applied to the perihelion of certain planets such as Mercury. There are no other first order effects with the required periodicity of the ice ages (~10000 years).
Other orbital parameters however may have a periodicity consistent with these time scales. There is some controversy surrounding this issue. The following web pages may be helpful:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2320crac.html

Global Warming, Ice Ages, and Sea Level Changes
Most recent studies suggest the last ice age 10,000 years ago was caused by earth being furthest away from the sun in winter in its elliptical orbit. And that the mini ice age of the middle ages was just regional. And that variantions of kinds of light, such as may happen during a sun miracle, are hard to detect. Sun spot activity is associated with influenza epidemics.
Thus the sun light reaching the earth during a sun miracle must have been controlled to leave no trace. Visible light is resposible for the heat we receive. Therefore, when the sun stood still in the sky sun light reaching the earth must be dimmed or else heat to that half of the planet would be increased.
Then again if you have ever seen the sun covered 40% by the moon you would know you could not tell there was anything different, the amount of sunlight would seem exactly the same.
There is also a 1.2 million year wobble and a 2.4 million year wobble, variations in earth's eccentric orbit and tilt. However, it is believed the sun had a lower output during the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Thus the cause of the ice age may not have been orbits and tilt it may have been a variation in the intensity of solar radiation from the sun.
The Zodiacal light is from Mars dust. Even this dust was kept intact when God moved the sun.
This model of earth shifting is good in that it demonstrates the opportunity at half an orbit, for the sun to move back and earth reorient as if nothing happened. This is the same as if earth's orbit shifted. At half an orbit, earth's orbit can shift back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun as if it never was in a reverse orbit of the sun. No trace would be left. You would think this is easy to do moving things around. However, this is the only way.
If the sun moved 180° in the equinox, March 21 or September 21, earth's orbit would not need to shift. Spring would continue into summer, fall into winter, just as before. The sun in the Dendera Zodiac is depicted in Libra, the Scales. Then if the sun moved 180° to or from Libra, the sign of September, the sun would not need to move up or down after moving 180° around the earth.
Possibly a March miracle is depicted, the spring sun now 180° in Libra. Arcturus, Ursa Major and Sagittarius were named pole regions by the ancients. When ancient records record sun miracles they appear to record the sun moving up or down after moving 180° around the earth, rather than earth shifting to point to a new pole star. Pole fixing devices, star dials, by the ancient Chinese do not work with precession. Either they were not intended for use or the pole star was not where we expect it was. The star dial I have has a hole for the pole star, around which are the 12 months of the year. On top are the hours of the night. And on top of that is a copper handle. Simply point the hours to the month it is, center the pole star and line up the handle with the lip of the big dipper to tell the hour of the night.
Earth did not need to shift. The sun could be moved up or down to keep earth in the same season. Therefore, earth could have remained untouched for billions of years. Only the sun needed to move when there was a sun miracle.
"Scientists have discovered geological evidence that the gravitational interaction between Mars and Earth drives a 2.4-million-year cycle of deep-sea circulation and global warming." That is, Mars pulls earth into a closer orbit of the sun every 2.4 million years.
We are 200,000 years past this 2.4 million year minimum. The next maximum is 1.2 million years from now. The warm cycle was detected by ocean currents laid in the sediments, made from a warmer earth.
The orbit of Mars and earth match back millions of years ago means God must have moved the sun around the earth carefully so that projections of earth's ancient orbit match what they are and what they would have been.
There was a Mediterranean belief "the earth turned upside down". My thought at first was put a globe on the table and twist the base to produce an earth shift to keep earth in the same season. Never was this literally upside down. However, the sun can be moved up or down with no affect on the earth. No oceans swamping continents. Only very slight earth quakes triggered as the sun moved.
Isaiah 24:1 "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."
This verse is connected with Jesus coming again in Revelation. Earth did not need to shift when there the sun moved to the other side of earth. Only the sun needed to move up or down after it had moved 180° around the earth along the ecliptic. Ancient people thought earth had been turned upside down when there was a sun miracle. The Big Dipper would point straight up at midnight in September. If the sun moved 180° then. Arcturus and the Big Dipper would point straight up before the three days of darkness, the handle of the Big Dipper would point straight up at midnight. Thus, earth would appear to be been turned upside down. The three days of darkness in Egypt may have been on the new moon March 15, 1281 BC when the glow of the moon would not give light to earth while the sun and moon revolved around the earth.
A potter's work turned upside down revolves now in reverse. Thus, with the sun moved to the other side of earth, earth would move forward and revolve around the sun in reverse.
There are 187 days from the first day of the first month to the 10th day of the seventh month. Then also the sun may return on the 10th day of the seventh month, Yom Kippur, half an orbit, 187 days later. Joshua's long day must have been one month after Yom Kippur. The seventh month, and Yom Kippur, in 1241 BC, must have been July 29, 1241 BC.
In 40 years Yao would discover the calendar was out one lunar month of 30 days. 366 X 40 = 14640 days. 40 X 365.24 days = 14609 days. 14640 - 14609 = 31 days. Thus the year end would not be December 31 but January 31.
This may have been passed down from the leap year every 4 years in the Egyptian Sothis calendar from 4197 BC. The new Sothis cycle began 2737 BC, thus 430 years later was the beginning of the second year of famine in 2307 BC and Yao's long day = Joseph's long day, this 2315 BC; 7 + 1 years earlier. The reverse direction of the Chinese zodiac in Yao's Canon suggests the direction of earth's orbit was in reverse to ours. Notes: "Yaou does not speak scientifically, by says that the round year consists of 366 days.
We intercalate one day every four years. But there is nothing in the text to indicate that every fourth year was reckoned 366 days. If it had been so, Yaou's calendar would have been the same as the Julian, and there would have been no necessity for the intercalation of a month at certain regular periods which is indicated."
Although this 366 days may have been sidereal time, this count was taken of suns, days, and right after Yao's long day (an extra day the following year would even out with the long day). If there were 366 sidereal days in a reverse orbit there must be 367 days and nights in a year.
However daily coral lines would show that. Also the Egyptian Sothis period of 1460 years is based on 365 solar day years. The 366 days may refer to the number of days between sun miracles. That is, the sun must move back on the same date a year later. Or two years later and the number of days divided by 2. If the sun stood still for 9 X 12 hours and less 12 hours two years later when the sun returned travelling 180° west = 12 hours less, there would be no missing time. 108 hours - 12 hours = 96 hours. 2 X 48 hours = 96 hours.
However, this is extreme. Nevertheless, the sun must stand still for 36 hours in one of the four or two sun miracles to a reverse orbit year in order to leave no net missing time = 48 hours sped up earth reverse orbit = 48 hours long days = 12 + 24 + 12, or 12 + 36 hours, in each reverse orbit.
In a reverse orbit the Egyptians would have to rely on the 365 day calendar until earth orbited in the current direction of orbit, counterclockwise, and they could add the years, divide by four and subtract the days back from July 16, when Sirius first appeared, to the new year. Because Sirius would not first appear before dawn on July 16 during the reverse orbit.
Egypt's Sothis calendar may have originally been in duodecimal. Then they would only have to change one character to write 365 days in a year, just one more character for 100 in the decimal number system. Thus, the change from a duodecimal 365 day calendar to a decimal 365 day calendar was very simple.
In a reverse orbit rotation is against orbit. To get the same number of 365.24 days a year earth must slow its rotation. However, if earth's rotation were slowed to 364 rotations a year the ocean would be 800 feet lower at the equator. If earth's orbit was sped up by 48 hours there would be 364 rotations a year no problem. Then there would be 365 days a year in the reverse orbit. Earth's orbit is elliptical meaning earth travels a few days faster in winter than in summer. So a speeding up in earth's orbit by a few more days over the course of a year would not affect earth either.
We can be very grateful for the meticulous Chinese astronomer. The pieces have fallen together perfectly and perhaps we now have the big picture. The Chinese were not crazy their records are sane and true. Carl Sagan vehemently challenged Velikovsky and protested the impossibility of the atmosphere, the ocean and the earth's crust being in a still state.
The poles would be flooded and dry land would ring the equator. Stopping the earth's rotation in much less than a year would turn earth into molten rock and require more energy than the sun puts out in a year. Take earth's mass for example: (5.976x10E27 Grams) = 5.4 x 10E41 Joules = 42.6 Million Sunyrs. It would take 42 million years for the sun to burn the mass of the earth.
Earth in a reverse orbit should not seem so incredible.
The reverse orbits described here must have been carefully managed by God moving the sun to the other side of earth. Then if the sun moved to the other side of the earth, earth must have been carefully controlled by other forces. We are travelling from a galaxy cluster in Virgo to empty space in Aquarius. The Big Bang has one direction, that is outward in all directions, from the moment of Creation.
The term "The Big Bang Theory" was given in order to ridicule it. Atheists do not like the Big Bang Theory because the theory backs up the moment of Creation. They want to believe in multiple universes in order to avoid believing in Creation. Adjustments had to be made when it was discovered the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate. However, the theory still holds.
Intelligent Design, where God guides evolution makes sense.
Every day science is getting closer to the creation of life. There is no other explanation for earth being in a reverse orbit, or the sun on the other side of the earth in the opposite season. These sun miracles may remain the best evidence for God's creation. And not only that, but the best evidence for the age of the coming of Jesus, his life and crucifixion.
The asteroid that struck the earth creating the Chicxulub crater at the Yucatan Penisula 65 million years ago, that ended the age of the dinosaurs and opened the way for mammals and humans, was a result of a collision of asteroids. A part of the same original asteroid struck the moon creating the Tycho Crater, the largest and most obvious crater on the moon, 108 million years ago. A picture of the broken off piece of the asteroid that is still up there was taken several years ago by the RASC president's celestron 11 by Halifax, Canada, by the local university.
Why was that rock on such a vendetta against the dinosaurs?
This did not happen by chance.
Meteorite impact 2 billion years ago may have ended an ice age
This also did not happen by chance.
The best evidence of the Bible is that God guided evolution to make man with a mind to comprehend God.
God did not leave any evidence of his interference with evolution. He wants people to have faith.
There is the suggestion that the Loch Ness Monster disproves evolution. This because the species was to be many hundreds of millions of years old. I do not know anything about the Loch Ness Monster. However, I have taken many photos of Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake. These are photos on film that cannot be doctored. They show a resemblance to the Stethacanthus Shark 360 million years ago and the Nothosaurus 250 million years ago. Sharks lived 450 million years ago = almost 100 million years before trees!
Thus, this creature has a separate evolution from the beginning of evolution. You can see some of my photos at Stories of Ogopogo.
People evolved from a crocodile creature in the ocean to walk on land 385 million years ago.
Nehemiah 2:13 "And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire."
"Through the Dung Gate goes Nehemiah;..past the deep well where the people say a dragon lies, allowing its waters to flow only when he sleeps with his wings furled, the claws retracted beneath his scaly body."
The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama, p.29.
Thus, this same flying dinosaur in Israel as the Ogopogo in the Okanagan, Canada.
Here you can see a statue of the same flying Ogopogo in Yreka California:
From the Codex Sinaiticus:
John 5:1 "After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
5:2 And there is in Jerusalem at the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
5:3 In these lay a multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered.
5:5 But there was a man there that had been sick thirty-eight years.
5:6 Jesus saw him lying, and, knowing that he had already been sick a long time, said to him: Wilt thou be restored to health?
5:7 The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man, that when the water is stirred he may put me into the pool; but while I am coming another goes down before me.
5:8 Jesus says to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Verse John 5:4 about the angel is not there in the original. The thought occurred to me that a dinosaur shark Ogopogo may have stirred the water with its wings when he was hungry. The first one to enter the water "was taken care of". This verse John 5:4 of the angel healing does not appear in the original. The pool of Bethesda was forty feet deep. Ogopogo can stay still for weeks and months without eating. Even the creature hardly needs to surface to breathe.
This may be the Serpent's Pool.
The feast must be the Passover feast because the pools of water you see may only be full in spring at the Passover.
Here you can see part of this pool:
"And in that same place there was a great dragon or serpent, which they of Babylon worshipped. And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? Lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say he is no living god: therefore worship him. Then said Daniel. I will worship the Lord my God: for he is a living God. But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave."
Still in Search of Prehistoric Survivors, p.83.
In the Tennessee vs John Scopes the "Monkey Trial" 1925 William Bryan was asked: "If the day was lengthened by stopping either the earth or the sun, it must have been the earth?"
"And he, Darrow, inquired if Joshua literally made the sun stand still, as in Genesis, and if he did, would that mean the earth stopped spinning" The Smithsonian.
"A federal judge ruled in 2005 that a Pennsylvania public school district could not teach “intelligent design” — the idea life is too complex to have arisen by natural causes — because it is “a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory.”
"some biblical passages" is this Joshua 10:12, the sun standing still in the sky for a day for Joshua is to be taken literally.
The sun being moved around the sun is a scientific theory, not a mere re-labeling of creationism, not just a religious view.
William Bryan died of a heart attack six days later.
He was also asked "When was that Flood?" for which calculations are given here.
The creationist's win that day now has supporting evidence, 77 years later = 2002 AD.
Even this 100 years later in 2025 the evidence for Joshua's long day is extensive.
William Bryan need not have died of a broken heart, faith in Joshua 10:12 is earnestly contended for here. There is no reason the Bible cannot be taught as religious truth.
The reason the courts have not permitted Creation to be taught in school, not that school is the place, is because of the lack of proof. This page not only proves the Bible accurate, it proves God is our Creator and has power that leaves little to the imagination.
There is an ongoing attack on the truth of the Bible and they often start with Joshua 10:12. I hope I have reassured those who read this page of the truth of the Bible.
Psalm 148:1 "Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
148:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
148:6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass."
Isaiah 37:16 "O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth."
Isaiah 40:21 "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"
One planetarium director from Vancouver told me that the only way these legends could be true is if the sun was moved around the earth and was very vehement that earth would have been destroyed. Nevertheless, if the sun simply moved around the earth there should be no noticeable effect. The tidal bulge of the sun and moon would be the same, no difference. Even so, these events could trigger an earthquake and earthquakes were often recorded with sun miracles.
What this means to science is this is the end of mankind's search for answers. There is no shadow of doubt but that God is our Creator.
Some ask "What does this have to do with Evolution and Creation?" Everything. If God moved the sun around the earth he has to be the Creator of the Universe. And that his hand is hidden in these sun miracles his hand is also hidden in evolution. This is not blindly following a received tradition of how scripture is to be used. Rather, this analysis is reality, the truth to the best of my ability.
Some have suggested in the recent court case over intelligent design in 2006 that a Christian does not have to believe God is our Creator.
Jesus is the image of God, therefore a Christian must believe God is our Creator, that God created man in his image.
Scientists are the ones with misconceptions of evolution and the history of our solar system.
Universities like to boast they can tell you the sun does not revolve around the earth each day. About 20% of people believe the sun goes around the earth each day. Of course earth rotates making the sun appear to go around the earth. Yet, here we have many records of God moving the sun around the earth in Bible days. Today we ridicule the concept of the flat earth. Yet, today's understanding is so lacking, it is like yesterday's flat earth.
If God moved the Sun around the Earth, He must have also guided evolution to produce mankind.
The Bible says God created individual species:
Genesis 1:25 "And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
To me that means God guided evolution to produce the species we now have.
The reason scientists are so opposed to intelligent design is they want to give the glory to man and do not want to give God the glory. Just look at all the awards they give each other, especially for evidence of evolution. These atheist scientists want to take the place of God, to be looked up to as God. God performed real miracles. There is no myth in God's miracles. Atheist teachers want to take the honour due to God's Ministers.
There is nothing wrong with having a reputation of helping others.
The Vatican's chief astronomer George Coyne wrote: "If they respect the results of modern science, and indeed the best of modern biblical research, religious believers must move away from the notion of a dictator God or a designer God, a Newtonian God who made the universe as a watch that ticks along regularly,"
A watch before February 4, 1241 BC would tell the same time two years later, after February 5, 1239 BC. Yet, the sun being moved to the other side of earth, and earth in a reverse orbit, and the planets moved also, can hardly be said to have continued the same from the beginning of creation.
What Coyne is saying is God is just an uninvolved onlooker. God moved the solar system around the earth so many times he cannot be said to be uninvolved. False religion leads to a lost eternity because God is not involved. Don't be fooled. Popular scientific theory can fail us. Just as Ptolemy and Aristotle's did. The people at the time thought that everything was already known about the sun and the motion of the stars. People are the same today. Darwin wrote: "When it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round, the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei, (the voice of the people = the voice of God) as every philosopher knows, cannot be trusted in science."
On the Origin of the Species, Chapter IV "Organs of Extreme Perfection and Complication"
Neither can Darwin be trusted.
Judge John Jones in his decision against intelligent design said scientific experts testified that Darwin's theory "in no way conflicts with, nor does it deny, the existence of a divine creator." Evolution without intelligent design directly denies the existence of a divine creator. Intelligent Design just states that everything did not happen by chance. How can there be a God if everything happened by chance? Judge John Jones confessed intelligent design "may be true, a proposition on which the court takes no position, ID is not science".
Sounds unlikely these two tiny cells would fuse by chance. Unlikely evolution was by chance. This first photo plankton cell was found in the Canadian Artic from 1.25 billion years ago, discovered December 2017.
Even although Judge John Jones said Intelligent Design is not science, everything in life has a beauty and a wisdom beyond anything man can make:
Matthew 6:26 "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"
6:28 "And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
This study of sun miracles is science because the model fits observation. And because divine intervention is uncovered.
The results of this study means scientists can no longer leave God out of the picture. This spells the end for the mystique of science.
The fact earth has orbited the sun in reverse for many years, probably around 100 years, 100 reverser orbits, in the history of earth, all means this research is science. Intelligent Design in genetics is hidden, just as the movement of the sun to the other side of earth and the resulting reverse orbit definitely is hidden to science. The physics of moving the sun are so extreme means only the Creator of the Universe could move the sun instantly to many millions of miles per hour.
The fact earth orbited the sun in reverse means God must have moved the sun to the other side of the earth, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun. There is no way to stop earth's orbit and reverse earth's orbit without catastrophic effects on earth. Thus the reverse orbit recorded by the Chinese - such as spring in the east, and even in such places as men walking in reverse in the Dendura Zodiac and the "falling" Chinese zodiac, can only be explained by the sun being moved to the other side of earth.
The unlikely possibility that the universe would come to be without collapsing has been likened to meeting a certain individual in the big city of London. See Y-Origins.com Science and the Origin of Life, the odds
To quote Wikipedia, Big Bang nucleosynthesis: "Deuterium is in some ways the opposite of helium-4 in that while helium-4 is very stable and very difficult to destroy, deuterium is only marginally stable and easy to destroy. Because helium-4 is very stable, there is a strong tendency on the part of two deuterium nuclei to combine to form helium-4. The only reason BBN does not convert all of the deuterium in the universe to helium-4 is that the expansion of the universe cooled the universe and cut this conversion short before it could be completed. One consequence of this is that unlike helium-4, the amount of deuterium is very sensitive to initial conditions.
The denser the universe is, the more deuterium gets converted to helium-4 before time runs out, and the less deuterium remains." This means that conditions had to be just right at the moment of the Big Bang to produce just the right amount of deuterium or stars would burn out long before life could develop in the universe. That is, the mass of the universe had to be exactly right. Many who work with the data of the Big Bang take the highly unlikely chance it just happened as a confirmation of their faith. Please see Rebuttal to "Ten Problems Against the Big Bang" Thus, moving the sun around the earth is not hard for God either.
God moving the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun is reality.
Estimates for future earthquakes may not have taken into consideration sun miracles in Old Testament times. There are cycles of 800 years between major earthquakes on the Pacific coast of North America. When God moved the sun around the earth in Old Testament times, there were more frequent earthquakes. More small earthquakes means fewer large earthquakes. Thus, predictions of large earthquakes from data more than 2000 years ago may be misleading. Thus, we could be in for larger earthquakes than scientists predict.
NASA states there are only two possibilities: (1) the earth stopped rotating or (2) the sun moved. I asked NASA if there was (3) earth could have been pulled around the sun to produce the same effect. Simply accelerating earth's orbit from 60,000 miles per hour around the sun to 20,000,000 miles per hour, leaving one side of earth to face the sun for 24 hours = the sun standing still at noon for 24 hours.
However, NASA said earth would have seen something very different - they did not say what would be different. Perhaps we would have seen something different to do with light or something catastrophic.
Psalm 93:1 "The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved."
Earth was left untouched, only the sun moved. Thus, in that God must not have moved the earth at millions of miles per hour, earth did not "fall", this verse is true. Just the same, the planets must have been pulled around earth with the sun at exceedingly high speeds to appear in the same position, at the same time of night, of the evening sky and continue to stay in the same night time position as they would have.
If the earth were pulled around the sun very fast on Joshua's long day the sun would appear blue from earth. China would see Scorpius rise in the east and blue shifted just after sunset then Scorpius travel westward and red shifted and set in 6 hours and China see the other 180° of stars of the night sky cross in 6 hours. Light from the planets and stars could be red shifted and blue shifted out of the visible spectrum to infra red and to ultra violet.
This is the doppler effect. When a train approaches you, you can hear it coming louder. When the train passes you, you can hear it fainter as it speeds away. Stars that are approaching us have the colour blue. Stars that are moving away from us have the colour red. It is the same thing if we are doing the moving. Likewise, the sun moving around the earth at near the speed of light would appear as a red line. Earth moving around the sun near the speed of light and the sun would appear blue.
Simply, when the sun was moved approaching the speed of light, the sun would send the red end of the spectrum of light. This because time would be slower, thus according to relativity, red light only would be emitted.
This study suggests God moved the sun at exceedingly high speeds with very great skill around the earth - to the other side, so that earth's forward momentum carried it into a reverse orbit and that He moved the sun up or down so that the seasons continued. Energy that entered the system must have been taken out. Earth did not shift. So the torque that might have had to be applied equally to the oceans as to the solids to keep earth in the same season may not have been an issue. Even Earth's angular momentum may not have had to have been transferred to something else that acted on everything in and around earth. Earth must have been untouched. Therefore, the law of conservation of orbital energy and angular momentum was taken care of.
Energy was put into the system and taken out of the system. Earth's reverse orbit was skillfully managed to be identical to its normal orbit. Thus, to say earth's orbit has never changed is false. Earth did not shift. Only orbits were changed.
Though, they were controlled to continue the same distance from the sun as they would have normally. Thus, completely hiding the miracles from science.
God is an Awesome God.
People will believe anything except what is right.
Luke 12:56 "Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
Most people will not believe at first glance that God moved the sun around the earth. Yet this is exactly the solution to the problem!
Velikovsky recorded many legends of sun miracles from around the world in ancient times. Universities reject these records. They would say, How can the sun rise in the west? Here we see these records are true and backed up by a simple model of sun movements. Universities do not accept the chronology of dates given here. Even though the math is simple and provable. Many billions of dollars are spent on science to uncover our origins and the Bible is ignored. When people realize the skill and power of God in moving the sun around the earth they will not have the hunger they now have for the unknown.
God has triumphed.
People may think belief in Christ is backwards in today's knowledge of science. Yet science offers nothing for life after death.
Isaiah 64:4 "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."

The background I hope will at least in some way help those reading this research to believe what I know to be true, and perhaps interest them in believing and coming to Gospel Meeting.
Galatians 6:3 "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
6:4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another."
My Aunt Winnie said my grandfather, WAC Bennett, could have helped many to believe the Gospel. So, this is my endeaver in this the third generation.
My grades at school were at times very low, even with a lot of effort. So what you see here is a lot of effort. Yet, the best part is that it all points to Jesus.
Psalm 19:3 "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."
As a youth, I often felt a distant Jewish past. As I grew up in a political family there were many highs and lows. It was only by grade 10 that I learned R.B. Bennett, the Prime Minster of Canada from 1930 - 1935, was a third cousin. He was an interesting research study that year. My Aunt Winnie, who was my grandparents house keeper, suggested there might be something worthwhile looking into the Bennett past.
Here is a stamp of RB Bennett:
Here is a stamp of WAC Bennett:
After testing my DNA with familytreedna.com, I became aware of a distant Gentile ancestor that became Jewish.
"Romans founded the old Cologne community in Germany in 85 AD. They imported Jewish people which knew arithmetic, reading, and writing to assist in its administration, either as captive slaves brought from the rebellion in Judea or as a paid workforce."
The Signs language of Adam
This individual that came to the Netherlands 83 generations ago may have already been Jewish. Even the Gentile that became Jewish may have been at the return from captivity in 521 BC or at the Exodus out of Egypt in 1281 BC, or in the Sojourn into Egypt in 1750 BC. Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC. This Jewish convert if in 1750 BC in Egypt would be 557 years after Jacob and the children of Israel entered Egypt. The Exodus was 470 years later in 1281 BC.
That descendant 83 generations ago either soon after became a became a Levite and a Cohen Priest or already was a Levite priest. The most recent common ancestor surname in my DNA was Cochrane, ultimately derived from the surname Cohen.
"A fine portrait in the Dundonald family collection shows a man of commanding presence with the prominent nose and cleft chin characteristic of many of his descendants."
Cochrane. The real master and commander, p.10
My closest match is to Benham and Cockerham near Lyme Regis, Dorset. Cockerham may have became Benham became Bennett. Jewish people were forced to convert to Christianity by the King of England, King Edward I, in 1290 BC. Many Jewish people went to Scotland where there was no such law.
Then back to several Cochrane matches in Scotland. Some of the Cochranes from Scotland are descended by a daughter Elizabeth Cochrane who married Alexander Blair son William Cochrane born 1605 First Earl of Dundonald. Thus, any matches to Bennett Y-DNA would be to the Cochrane line branching off before William (Blair) Cochrane who took the Cochrane surname. Some Bennett descendants from Henry Bennett Old Lyme Connecticut, (where the Bennet's are from). From this Henry Bennett Jr. born in 1647 in Old Lyme Connecticut, descendants have tested 1% Jewish autosomal DNA even though their surname is not Bennett. So even William Blair's descendants could have Jewish autosomal DNA.
The many matches to Cochran in Scotland point to the expulsion of Jews from England in 1290 AD to Scotland.
All Jews from Newberry Berkshire were expelled in 1242 AD. Newberry may not be named new borough in 1100 AD. It may reflect a new Jewish settlement and the name Berry in Hebrew means new. Thus the town named New New.
Psalm 127:1 "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:"
Only priests were allowed to build Herod's temple. R.B. Bennett's mother was Henrietta Stiles. Bennett is related to Stiles in Y-DNA. So, R.B. Bennett may have inherited some distant Jewish genes both on his father and mother's side making these recessive genes enabled. My grandfather asked us grandchildren if we could put our fingers together and apart. This is what the cohen was supposed to do to make the letter W - the first letter of the word Jehovah is great in Hebrew. The two fingers together may mean two ministers of the Gospel together.
A fourth cousin in autosomal DNA, surname Blair, could be a descendant of Alexander Blair, that took the Blair surname instead of the Cochrane surname of his mother. Thus, this line of Cochranes from the 1600's should share a 1% Jewish DNA, the same as other Cochranes and Bennett's share a 1% Jewish DNA.
Bennett matches are to Cochrane, Spier, Massey and Wilson, as you will see in the Little Scottish Cluster.
"Speyer, Spira, Germany, was home to one of the most significant Jewish communities in the Holy Roman Empire. Its significance is attested by the frequency of the Jewish surname Shapiro, Speyer..."
Wikipedia
Mark 2:14 "And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him."
Massey is from the Jewish name Matthew, and even from this Levitical lineage.
The Jewish ancestor became christian about 1290 AD. Soon after, Wycliffe translated the whole Bible into English for the first time. "However, a very few years later the whole was revised by John Purvey."
History of English. A Sketch..p.273
Wycliffe founded the Lollard movement, which was very close to the Christian Church in the New Testament. There was a Christian fellowship that met in homes previous John Wycliff. So there were a few generations that may have heard the Gospel.
It was said the Puritans went straight from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Some of these Puritans had Jewish ancestry that had become Christian just a few hundred years previous.
When my Bennett ancestors became Puritan by 1600 AD any chance at salvation was lost because of false worship in a church building. Many preachers were killed in the 1500's for preaching the Gospel. The ark of the covenant must be carried by two priests. Jesus sent his ministers two at a time. The foundation has never changed.
Henry must have sailed from Lyme Regis in Dorset in 1647 to Old Lyme Connecticut. In those years life was very difficult for the puritans in England. His father must have been surnamed Cockham in 1600 in Dorset that was then changed to Bennett. Many of those who signed the declaration of independence in 1776 were killed by the British. Likewise, Henry Bennett who left Lyme Regis England in 1646 may have changed his name from Cockerham to Bennett to avoid death by the Royals. Then after 120 years in Old Lyme Connecticut Zadok Bennett emigrated to New Brunswick, Canada, in 1765 before the American revolution in 1776.
There was civil war between the puritan parliamentarians and the royals in the year 1645, a year or two just before Henry Bennett Sr's departure from Lyme Regis, Dorset. The border of the war was right at Lyme Regis. Thus, there was a real reason, a life or death reason, to emmigrate to Lyme Connecticut named after Lyme Regis.
"Prince Maurice had marched here from Beauminster with his army in 1644, intending to rout the parliamentary forces. But though the Royalists greatly outnumbered the Cromwellians, the siege failed"
The Domesday Book. Dorset, Lyme Regis. p.91
Lyme Regis was able to get supplies from sea and guard against attack by land.
This may be the year Henry Bennett Sr. left England for Connecticut probably for religious freedom and even survival. The town was noted for strong Puritan beliefs.
Henry Bennett married in Old Lyme in 1673 where the church was the government. His brother in law Henry Champion jr., son of Sarah Bennett, lived at at Meeting House Hill, Lyme, Connecticut. Henry Champion Sr. came from Norwich in 1647 near Ipswich to land in Old Lyme Connecticut. The Champions were said to have been of Huguenot ancestry. Some Champions are 19 genetic distances from me and share a distant Jewish ancestor. There was no separation of church and state. Henry Bennett Sr came from the Reformist Movement, the puritans. There were other Bennetts from Newbury Berkshire. I match the Newberry and Berry surname about 400 AD and it is a common ancestor on my Family Finder indicating shared autosomal DNA.
However, I may be descended from Christian of Chieveley four miles from Newberry from 1552. Perhaps she took the name Christian to counter a distant Jewish heritage there. Or perhaps she was even was from a Reformist background from that time there. However, it does not seem this reformist movement was true Christianity. For this match to show up as fourth cousin when she left there 14 generations ago may mean Jewish DNA either way. I am very distantly related to these Bennetts who were part of the Reformist Movement in Newberry from 1500. Some in Newberry were martyred when they started to preach the Gospel in 1530.
There is a 50% probability I share a common ancestor with one Bennett 1650 years ago with a genetic distance of 30. He too is R-L48. With another Bennett, our most recent common ancestor, at a 95% probability, lived within 1830 years ago with a genetic distance of 27 out of 111. They were just as religious as my Bennett line.
However, I am told by the researcher from familytreedna.com the common ancestor to other Bennetts is many thousands of years ago.
Thus, Christianity may not have reached north of the Alps before 230 AD.
Jewish people in Italy migrated north of the Alps in this time too.
When Oliver Cromwell moved Scottish people to Ireland, he set the background for the revival of the Gospel.
My grandmother used to talk about her plant in the solarium "The Wandering Jew". She often made 12 grain unleavened bread. Her distant ancestor on her mother's side was H1e Moroccan Jewish.
My grandparents had very high morals. September 1, 1971, my grandfather passed legislation banning nicotine and alcohol advertising in BC.
My position in life is rather lowly. I do not take the credit. This is revelation. God and Jesus get the credit.
On my father's side, his Y-DNA, was from a Gentile R1b1 in the Rhine Valley, near the Netherlands, that converted to Judaism and married into Judaism about 80 generations ago. The first R1b1a2 in the Netherlands lived 83 generations ago. Thus, this first R1b1a2 may have already been Jewish and be the same person 83 generations ago.
Counting 25 years to a generation 80 X 25 = 2000 years. This individual that arrived at the Netherlands, may have emmigrated from Israel to escape the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD to arrive in 85 AD in Cologne Germany. A generation of 24 years = 1920 years = this same individual arriving about the time that Jesus lived.
How long is a generation? Science provides an answer "These averaged 35.0 years for male generations, 28.7 years for female years."
Thus, a generation from DNA gives about 30 years, not 25.
At the time of Jesus there were about two million Jewish people in Israel and four million Jewish people outside of Israel.
Deuteronomy 23:2 "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
23:8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation."
Thus, from the first Jewish convert there may be ten or three generations till they were accepted into the congregation. Nevertheless, the father of this R1b1 line appears to be Egyptian, and would become part of the congregation in three generations. There may be ten generations to the time of Christ. Or there may be an R1b1 lineage from the Exodus out of Egypt. The location of this person in Israel is not shown.
There was an initial 125 people tested their DNA in Israel. One of these 125 people was this R1b1 that shared an ancestor with P312 and L48.
There was an L48 Gentile on the western Rhine Valley and a P312 on the eastern Rhine valley who both became Jewish by 300 BC. They may both be descended from the same Jewish convert at that time. So 80 X 30 years to a generation = 400 BC. The ancestor line of L48 began about 500 BC.
Genealogy uses three generations a century. However, distantly generations may have been 25 years a generation.
There is an R1b1 12 marker, less one or two mutations, cousin in Israel to both L48 and P312 = a common ancestor perhaps from 500 BC or earlier.
The common ancestor to King Tut is 17,000 years ago.
Keddie, which is Gaelic for Adam was P310. Thus, the first R1b1 Gentile convert in this line may be from the Exodus in 1281 BC and be P310, the ancestor of P312 and L48. Thus, this R1b1 Israel match to both L48 and P312 may be from Egypt in the Exodus.
There were two R1b1 Jewish lineages in Europe; L48 or Z2 to the west of the Rhine River, and P312 to the east of the Rhine River.
Simply the Romans brought Jewish people that could count money to Cologne, on the Rhine river, in 85 AD.
Here you see a Y - 12 marker match, both L48 and P312, in southern Israel.
Likewise, there is a 12 marker, less one mutation, match to my L48 in Israel as well. Perhaps we are both descended from the same ancestor in Israel. And perhaps this ancestor arose in Europe about 1000 BC soon after Joshua's conquest of Israel in 1241 BC. Thus, the Jewish ancestor of the small Scottish cluster may originate not 83 generations ago - 200 BC, but 100 or more generations ago in this 1000 BC.
Even there was a single ancestor to this group from 1750 BC.
Most of Europe is descended from R1b1 P310 from 4000 BC. Thus, there may be an R1b1 Jewish ancestor in Europe from about 1000 BC.
Here you can see the common R1b1 Jewish Y-DNA match in Israel:
Some of my Henry Bennett cousins in the eastern states say familytreenda test results show 2% or 3% Jewish autosomal DNA in family finder.
From an email by a distant cousin: "My DNA test shows traces of Jewish DNA, which came as a pleasant surprise. I am a direct descendant of the following (listed in your article): 38. Eunice Bennett born 20 May 1769"
Moses was very aware he was descended from the Hebrews. Even, the daughter of Pharaoh may have hid this from him and he still knew it. As a child I felt distant Jewish ancestry, and that from an R1b1 Gentile Jewish convert about 80 generations ago. So Moses would be very aware of his Hebrew ancestry without being told.
Exodus 2:9 "And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren."
Exodus 12:38 "And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle."
R1b1 Egyptian may have intermarried with the Israelites at this time.
My grandmother, May Bennett (Richards), asked me to look into her Manuel ancestry. Her Manuel ancestors had Spanish features. You can see the darkness in this Manuel cousin's photo. My father's mother's father's mother's father may have been a direct descendant of King Roger II. Ruggero, of Sicily, from Emanuel Roger, probably just from Sicily or Spain.
The Ashkenazi Jewish people are closely related to the Sicilians.
And in 1542 Emanuel Roger surnamed his sons Manuel. As was the custom then to make the first name the last name. The most recent common ancestor of my I2b1 Manuel cousins is 930 years ago with a 50% probability. This is about 1100 AD when Roger II was born. If this was not Roger II, then the other Roger surname I match with a common ancestor on my Y-DNA 900 AD should be an ancestor to Roger II.
His grandson Frederick II negotiated the same religious freedoms for pilgrims to Israel as I enjoyed in 2010. Roger II's motto was "Christ conquers".
Roger II first wife's grandmother was princess Zaida who converted from Islam to Christianity.
Her father in law was descended from Mohammed. I also share a common ancestor with a Roger from Sicily on my Y-DNA probably 1100 years ago. This R1b1 Roger would have been Cohen Jewish and named Roger because of a close connection to royalty Roger for protection. Thus, the reason he took the surname of Roger may have been because of the favour of Roger II towards the Jews. My father shares a large segment, as is typical of Jewish ancestry, in autosomal DNA with a R1b1 Roger. I match a Rogers perhaps descended from Tancred and Zaida in Family Finder on a large segment on chromosome 11.
The Manuels were tin miners in Cornwall for 10 generations. They may have married into Jewish tin miners from 1290 AD. The Richards worked in the tin mines probably from time of Richard Earl of Cornwall and intermarried with the Manuels. He took possession of all the Jews of England and all the royalties from the tin mines. I share a common ancestor on my Y-DNA with Richards about 1200 and 1050 years ago. Thus, these Richards I match might have been Cohens. They may have been Jewish tin miners.
Zechariah 4:10 "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."
Plummet = tin.
"The Mycenaeans aquired Cornish tin by a vast trade network reacing Britain 3300 years ago" = the year of Joshua's long day and conquest.
There are three ships with this tin sunk off the coast of Israel. To make bronze tin must be mixed with copper. Copper was abundant, but not tin. Thus the bronze age began with the mining of tin in Cornwall. Thus, there may have been Jewish tin miners in Cornwall three thousand years ago.
Then also, some of the Jewish tin miners may have emigrated to Scotland in 1290 when all Jews were ordered out of England. Scotland was the only country that did not expel the Jews. My grandmother's mtDNA, mother's mother, was H1e = now H1g1. Her family worked in the mines. H1e is often Moroccan Jewish.
The son does not pass on the mtDNA of his mother. Thus, your Y-DNA goes directly back to your father and your mtDNA goes directly back to your mother. So Jewish ancestry in England goes direclty back to 1290 AD or before.
At least one of my R1b1 Cohen matches is from Morocco as well. Also, my Grandmother's H1e line comes from Airdrie in Scotland.
Mary Richards, who married Francis Manuel, grandfather William Richards was born in Bodmin in 1551 and probably was a tin miner. There is mention of Jews and Gentiles in connection with tin taxes. There is also some actual evidence of Jews in Cornwall. In 1853 a hollow tin alloy figure, was found near a Jew's house dating from the 1200's with four Hebrew letters. The four letters spell RCRD. Hebrew does not have vowels. So this would be Richard. It was buried 10 feet down in Bodwen Moore in the parish of Lanlivery. It had a crown and may be a representation of Richard, King of the Romans and Earl of Cornwall. Henry III was Richards brother and he farmed out the Jews to him. Thus, what interest they had in the tin mines was at his disposal. Thereby Richard became very rich.
"Metals such as tin that came from Cornwall in England and were discovered in ancient ships that were found sunk off the coast of Haifa, Israel, (from around 1300 BC). Bronze ingots with "Proto-Hebrew" inscriptions from the Cornwall area of England were discovered..It can be concluded that those who produced the tin were speakers of the same Hebrew language and understood the meaning of the marking."
The Signs Language of Adam, p.34.
Cornwall may be the Tarshish that Jonah tried to flee to.
June 5, 1240 he granted Bodmin to be a free borough. Thus, perhaps Jewish tin miners in Bodmin showed their appreciation to Richard for no taxes. The Jews living in England were well known and usually were forced to live near the nobility for protection. Perhaps some took the name of Rycard, Richard, in appreciation. "In January, 1257, the votes of three electors, Cologne, Mainz, and the Palatine, were cast for Richard," and he became emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Henry II handed over all the Jews in England to Richard Earl of Cornwall in 1245.
Thus, Richard was popular among the Jews for a time. Because of the tin mines in Cornwall Richard was the richest man in England besides the King. The pope offered Richard the Kingdom of Sicily, but Richard declined at the steep price.
Both Manuel, Underhill and Bennett trees come from the Cornwall area. Some Underhills are my L48 Y-DNA. L48 began about 500 BC, or about this same Jewish priest who moved to the Netherlands 83 generations ago.
Jewish people intermarried in Italy before travelling north into Europe.
Here is my cousin Matthew Clelland's mining certificate. He was very religious and was part of the Band of Hope promoting the Bible and no alcohol in the 1870's.
Many people obeyed the call of the Gospel in mining towns in Scotland and Northern Ireland in the 1900's.
When Oliver Cromwell relocated Scottish protestants to Northern Ireland in the 1600's, he laid the envirement for the true Gospel to come about.
I was told there were two old ladies that met for meeting from Switzerland and a minister from Armenia. They met in a home where the brother to the sister was William Irvine. He began but did not continue. George Walker was asked to investigate an enthusiastic young church group. It was then and there he realized the Gospel must go in faith. The Spirit may have come from this man and these ladies. We don't know for sure how, but we do know we have the Holy Spirit from that time.
Isaiah 66:19 "And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles."
Tarshish in Spain I was told was near Gibraltar. When the tide is out the ruins are visible.
The islands may include Ireland and Britain.
That R1b1 married into the Jewish community there can be no doubt. Even this Jewish R-L48 may derive from one Jewish convert in 200 BC. There is a 10 segment part of chromosome 19 to the far left that my dad shares with Joel Czekaj.
There is a 2 segment part to the left edge that my mother shares with my dad. Thus, my mother must have had Jewish ancestors also.
She has some matches in with Mizra Jews in Uzbekestan and Iraq, also in autosomal DNA. Thus, my mother is a descendent of Jews in Uzbekestan. Noah was from this country. People are the same today, whether descended from the survivors of Noah's flood or not.
Jewishness is passed on from the mother, no matter how many mothers in direct descent.
The 2% Southeastern Asian on my mother's side may match Native American from 1841 in Nova Scotia. There would be about a 2% Mizrai Jewish ancestry from Iraq and Uzbekestan.
Even one of the closest matches to my mother's autosomal or cousin in Family Finder is a Gamble; that my father matches as a Y-DNA cousin about 700 years ago.
Bennett was Cockerham in Lyme Regis, Dorset, about 1600. Mother's father Underhill was from Dorset 1860 as well. This southern portion of England had a slim Jewish population, yet more than the rest of England.
From both my mother and father, there were zero Ashkenazi zero Jewish Diaspora zero Sehpardic.
Both my mother and my father share the same autosomal DNA on chromosone 19 that is a bright blue line on the hard left of junk DNA, to the coded DNA - to the actual DNA, that matches Joel Czakaj in Poland = Chezekah = Zadock = Cohen priest hood.
Jewish ancestry for British people is back to 1290 AD all sides. Thus, there is some Jewish DNA that does not dilute easily. But not enough to show up as Ashkenazi.
Anything under 2% is often unmeasurable. There was under 2% south eastern Mediterranean from both parents.
The Manuel side was from Emmanuel Roger in 1540 AD from Sicily. 15 generations back = 1/8000. Thus, the 2% autosomal DNA from Sicily likely would be Jewish DNA mostly from my grandparent's direct Jewish ancestors. In 1493 100,000 Jewish people were expelled from Sicily. However, many of that number converted into Christianty and stayed in Sicily. Thus, they are still with us.
In 1492 AD by King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile led the Inquisition. All Jews who had not converted were expelled from Spain in 1492 AD. 100,000 Jewish people in Spain were executed, and about 100, 000 Jewish people in Spain became Christian.
Simply, to be fourth cousin with Joel Czekaj in Poland = Chezeka = Zadok = Cohen = Cochran = Cockerham = Benham = Bennett, when all ancestors are 20 generations back from the UK, points to the truth of distant Jewish ancestry. The match to Joel Czekaj is to Chezekah = Zadoc = Cohen priest hood is sure.
Joel Czekaj probably is a direct R1b1 descent from a shared R1b1 Jewish Priest more than 700 years ago. Jewish people in England had to convert to Christianity or leave in 1290 AD. Thus, with British ancestry Jewish ancestry can only be from 1290 AD all sides. Thus, autosomal tests may not pick up genes that are that far back.
My common ancestor with Kha in Egypt is probably V88, from 17,000 years ago.
Likewise this Kha may match King Tut. The common R1b1 ancestor to King Tut and V88 was 17,000 years ago.
There is the possibility that there was an R1b1 ancestor out of Egypt that followed Moses with the Exodus. Then there are matches to Jewish Y-DNA in Egypt such as Pearlman in Egypt. There is a 12 marker match to Parasini = Persian.
Jewish people married within their tribe, within their twelve tribes. The Levite tribe married within the Levite tribe. The priesthood married within the priesthood that was within the Levite tribe. About 5% of Jewish people were Cohen J1 from Aaron, and a small percentage were this R1b1 L48 that was married into the Cohen priesthood a long time ago.
There must have been a lot of intermarriage in this R1b1 line. Outside of the Netherlands Jewish R1b1 is about 5% + or - 11% and inside of the Netherlands is 30%.
30% of Cohen Y-DNA is J1 from Aaron. 50% of Cohen Y-DNA is also J1 from Abraham = 30% + 20%. 20% of Jewish Y-DNA is J1 from Abraham. 10% of Jewish Y-DNA is R1b1.
Pie charts of Jewish Y-DNA for countries in Europe and most of the world show a significant part is M269 which equals this same L48 R1b1. The R1b1 M269 is about 10% of Jewish men. The J1 from Abraham M267 are about 20% of Jewish men in Europe:
The movement of J1 FGC11 from Adam to Noah near the Caspian Sea, then to Ur, then Abraham in 2600 BC from Ur to Palestine.
Pie charts of Jewish Y-DNA Note the dark R1b1 is almost as many as the J1 Abraham.
J1e first appeared in Ur in about 2600 BC. Abraham was born in Ur in 2607 BC. Thus both Arabs and Hebrews were descended from Abraham, J1e.
There were four Y-DNA matches to Egypt in Ysearch several years ago. The one to Kha most likely was a match before King Tut 17,000 years ago. The other three appeared to be R1b1 Jewish, such as Pearlman.
What we know:
The match in Egypt to R1b1 Jewish people is certain.
Many Jewish people lived in Alexandria in Egypt.
When the Hebrew boys were to be killed during the reign of Seti I, when Moses was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter there would be a shortage of Hebrew men. The Egyptian was to come into the congregation in the third generation. There was also a mixed multitude that came out of Egypt. Thus, some Egyptians must have joined the Israelites before they left Egypt in the Exodus. Thus, the J2 lineage among the Jewish people may have started in Egypt about 2,000 BC, the J1 lineage from Adam and from Jacob when Jacob entered Egypt, April 1, 2308 BC.
That is, a Gentile may have married into the tribe of Levi. The next time this same Y-DNA is picked up is the Jewish Cohen priest that came to the Netherlands 83 generations ago. Thus, there must be a connection of the dots between this R1b1 in Egypt at the time of the Exodus into Israel and the Jewish priest who came to the Netherlands.
Possibly, though, this name is derived from the Sem (Priest) Kha-me-weset. Thus, Sem Kha - Smenkhkare. He was made a priest of Egypt and restored many ancient monuments. He may not have been aware his efforts were in a false way and not the way of Moses, just as many today are not aware their efforts are in a false way.
This Khaemwaset was crown prince from Ramses II's 50th year to his 55th year = from 1307 BC to 1302 BC. There may have been a sun miracle in this 1307 BC = 1300 years to Jesus' birth.
Possibly a descendant of the Egyptian priest Kha-me-weset became a Cohen priest 1000 years later in the Rhine Valley. There is a one person of both P312 and L48 Jewish Y-DNA in Israel. Possibly this could be from the R1b1 Egyptian Jewish people who crossed the Reed Sea / Red Sea about April 2, 1281 BC.
Perhaps this R1b1 ancestor was amoung the Israelites that went to conquer Canaan with Joshua. Then in 591 BC they fled Nebuchadnezzar to Spain and Scotland. Dan Draghici who is Jewish from Romania and matches some Scottish/Irish people as fourth cousin surnamed Cowan in autosomal DNA, matches me in Y-DNA about 800 BC.
It would be interesting if this common ancestor became Jewish before the Exodus and thus fought in the battle of Joshua's long day.
Thus, I may have been in the loins of this ancestor that fought for Israel in Joshua's long day.
83 generations ago a Jewish priest came to the Netherlands. Not all the descendants were in Israel in Jesus' day.
From the time of the Exodus to now there would be 115 generations.
You can see the within 95% probability does allow a common ancestor about the time of Joshua's battle. i16 is Dan Draghici Jewish from Romania. i17 is Bruski a Cohen name from Germany/Poland.
Romans 9:17 "For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth."
There is the possibility of a common R1b1 ancestot to the High Priest, Caiaphas.
When the DNA from the bones of Caiaphas were tested it was stated the condition of the bones made it hard to get a result. There was speculation that Caiaphas was not a direct descendent of Aaron and purchased his position. The people strongly felt this was the case for some time and pelted the High Priest with lemons. Then there was speculation the Y-DNA from Caiaphas' bones was not from Aaron.
R1b1 Cohen the first two markers - 13, 24, matches the group my ancestors are in.
You can see the most recent common ancestor is about the time of the Exodus 3280 years ago from 2000 AD = 1281 BC or 1750 BC. Then the first R1b1 Jewish ancestor may have converted to Judaism while Israel was in Egypt from 2307 BC to 1281 BC = 1750 BC. Especially since in Moses' day the Hebrew boy babies were to be cast into the Nile River. Then it is possible an R1b1 Egyptian married into the Hebrews.
DNA points to a Jewish ancestor becoming Christian about 1000 years ago. The edict of King Edward I in England in 1290 AD, 730 years ago, seems to be about that time.
A Gentile becoming Jewish may be from a common R1b1 ancestor from 1750 BC, of at least from about 164 BC.
In the first matrix you see a shared common ancestor with a 50% probability. Bennett is line 14. In the second matrix you can see that within a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor is about 1900 BC = the 1850 BC on Family Tree DNA. The most distant estimate is 4200 years ago = 2200 BC. So from the sojourn in Egypt in 2307 BC forward there may have been R1b1 converts.
The first marker should be 13. Thus, the first marker, 393, is 12 continues to line 13. This means they probably are not related to the next six that begin with line 14 to line 19. Line 14 begins with Bennett.
Thus, you can see above the common ancestor between me, i5, and V88 and King Tut is rather 17,000 years ago. Thus, the connection to V88, which is common in north Africa, is much further back. You can see this is the same for the next i6, i7, and i8.
Thus, there may only be one Cohen line L48 and its subclades.
Naill King of Ireland's ancestor, appears 4,200 years ago to a common ancestor, further back than this 1750 BC.
The alpha bet began in Canaan in this 1750 BC = the first alphabet, the Hebrew alphabet.
For there to be 10% R1b1 of Jewish people, the common Jewish R1b1 ancestor may be about 1000 BC in Europe. Jewish J1 ancestry from Abraham is about 20%.
The Jewish ancestry for R1b1 Cohen appears with the first marker 13 and the second marker 24. Others with a first marker 12 or a second marker 23 appear to have an much earlier ancestor that was not Jewish.
R1b1 Jewish Cohen arrived at the Rhine River, probably at Cologne in 85 AD.
R1b1 is often accompanied with red hair, and red hair may do better in northern climates, is why R1b1 is so common in Europe. See R1b1 red hair.
Perhaps, there was only one R1b1 Jewish person that came to Europe 2,500 years ago, 1750 BC, and came to make up 10% of the population of Europe. Also, R1b1 fathers had larger families and prospered in a short time.
About 30% of the Netherlands may be descended from this individual Jewish priest 80 generations ago. Thus, former BC premier Bill Vander Zalm may be descended from the same lineage as the Bennetts = the same lineage as a High Priest. The Province news paper out of Vancouver stated: "Don't Play High Priest Role, Bill!"
The king Gideon slew, Zalmunna, means "shade taken away". Also, salem is Hebrew for peace. The surname Vander Zalm may be Jewish.
Isaiah 6:12 "And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
6:13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."
Thus, there are many R1b1 in Europe, 50% of all Europe, 70% of western Europe. L48, L2 and L21 in western Europe appear from only the last 3,000 years. Even some of the R1b1 may be from the carrying away of Jews by Nebucadnezzar as the Scottish kings claim their descent from Scythia. Of course that is speculation.
The Hebrews were already in Egypt in 2307 BC. So this common ancestor may have known of the Hebrew God before settling in the Netherland/German Rhine Valley region in 85 AD.
The common R1b1 Jewish ancestor must be from between 1750 BC and 164 BC.
Here you see The Ivan Hoe cluster map You can Google search for Ivan Hoe cluster, showing the origin of L48/L47 Jewish people in the Netherlands.
Then they traveled to southern England where Cockerham was, up to Scotland where Cochran is, down to Spain where the Sephardic Jews were. Or the R1b1 Jewish founder was much earlier, emigrating both to Spain and the Netherlands.
The Jews were expelled from Spain by the Inquisition in 1492. This Jewish R1b1 group escaped by the Mediterranean to the Balkans. Equally, a Jewish R1b1 group left Lisbon Portuagal for South America.
1492 AD is a whole sothis cycle of 1460 years since Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD. Likewise in England all Jewish people had to become Christian in 1290 AD. Years for days, 1290 days in Daniel.
Daniel 12:11 "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."
Perhaps there is a connection to the High Priest, Joseph son of Caiaphas.
John 18:14 "Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
18:15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest."
Thus, the apostle John must have known Caiaphas.
John 11:49 "And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
Caiaphas Hebrew meaning "to draw or gather oneself up, to compose the body and limbs as in death, i. q. to die."
Hebrew and English Lexicon. 1849. p.933.
I match a Joseph Cohen from between 500 BC to 500 AD.
There is a one common R1b1 ancestor from 1750 BC. Only I do not know when or where the first ancestor became Jewish. To fill the Little Scottish Cluster to 12% of Scottish men and also this R1b1 to be 10% of Jewish men, the common R1b1 Jewish ancestor must be a long ways back.
A sarcophagus from 100 BC in Egypt was a woman with red hair that was thought to be a line of royalty, and the red hair very unusual in Egypt.
There is a history of people with red hair being classed as evil and burned in Egypt. Thus, red hair in Egypt may have become rare.
King Tut's common ancestor with R1b1 is 17,000 years ago.
Ramses III Y-DNA was E1b1 African.
Most likely, the R1b1 number 12 of DYS393 = the first marker, means a common ancestor to this number 13 DYS393 is many thousands of years ago because of the slow mutation rate of 1,315 generations.
The oldest surname is Khan from Turkey. A Turkish king may have been appointed King in Egypt at the time of the 18th dynasty, beginning with Ahmose, and ending with King Tut.
At the time of the pyramids lived Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There may be forty generations from Joseph to Moses, not four.
The low Nile was in 2309 BC to begin the seven years of famine. Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC in the second year of famine in the 430th Sothis year from 2737 BC. Thus, the sojourn in Egypt was From the 430th year, not For 430 years. The Exodus must have been on March 30, 1281 BC and Merneptah who succeeded Rameses II must have been the Pharaoh of the Exodus who drowned at the Reed Sea about April 5, 1281 BC.
Jacob entered Egypt in 2307 BC is also evident in Y-DNA. There is one Jewish father of the J1 line at 2300 BC or 4300 years ago. This was calculated by finding the common ancestor of all J1 Jewish people. Thus, the DNA calculations are exactly correct.
"A pattern of Y-chromosomal mutations in 37 and 67 marker haplotypes of the Jews and the Arabs indicates that their most recent common ancestor in haplogroup J1 (subclade J1e*) and that (a different one) in haplogroup J2 (subclade J2a*) lived 4300+/-500 years before present (ybp) and 4175+/-510 ybp, respectively, that is practically at the same time. Then a split between the Jewish and the Arabic lineages in both J1 and J2 haplogroups occurred, which is clearly visible on the respective haplotype trees."
Thus, with Abraham born in 2607 BC, the Jewish and Arab lineages split from Ishmael and Isaac in 2507 BC. Jacob was born when Isaac was 69, not 60, in 2438 BC. Jacob's first son of 12 sons, was Reuben, who was born (2122 AM) 2357 BC. Joseph was born (2134 AM) 2345 BC and Benjamin was born (2143 AM) 2334 BC.
There appear to be J1 from Jacob in 2300 BC, J2 from Egypt in 2100 BC, R1b1 from Egypt from 1281 BC or from the Netherlands in 300 BC or 100 BC = 80 generations back - a generation 25 years or 30 years, and E1b1 from Africa. Einstein was E1b1. These four may represent four individuals from whom half the Jewish men are descended. Also, on the maternal side there is I3 Jewish from Iraq and Uzbekistan, and H1g1 (H1e) Jewish from Morocco and H2a2 Palestinian from Israel, from which many Jewish women are descended.
In comparison today there are thousands of individual Christian families.
Here you can see the mtDNA halpogroup I is included in Jewish mtDNA, 3% Ashkenazi and 3% Sephardic. Likewise the mtDNA halpogroup for H is 23% Ashkenazi and 25% Sephardic. H = H1g1 and H2a2. J1 mtDNA is 10% both for Ashkenazi and Sephardic.
The J1 mtDNA has 10% Sephardic and 10% Ashkenazi and 3% non Jewish, making J1 mtDNA very Jewish.
More than 50% of Jewish men come from Israel. 20% of Jewish women come from Israel.
There may be Native ancestry from Pictou, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, 1834, I3 that goes directly back to Mizrai Jewish in Iraq.
2 Kings 20:11 "And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
Not just the shadow but "so went back the sun"
The Hebrew states ten steps on the upper sundial of Ahaz. This is not ten degrees of a 360° circle!
Genesis 4:4 "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."
In the Dead Sea Scrolls, Genesis 4:7 should read: "And if you do not well, sin crouches at the door: and its desire is to have you, but you must rule over it."
As well many, many, dates in the Bible have been altered. We go by the original. Not subsequent scribal errors and omissions.
In the Jubilees:
"And in the third week in the second jubilees he gave birth to Cain, and in the fourth she gave birth to Abel.
And in the first year of the third jubilee, Cain slew Abel..
From 4672 BC, 49 years + 15 years = 4607 BC = Cain, 4600 BC = Abel. The first year 3d jubile 4568 BC Cain would be 39 years old and Abel 32 years old.
Rameses II was the builder of Egypt.
Exodus 2:23 "And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage."
Ramses II was this Pharaoh that died, and this builder that brought the Children of Israel into bondage. After him was Merneptah, then the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt. The Egyptian's worshiped "Ra" the Sun. Thus, the Egyptians did not worship the God of the Bible and were punished. The Exodus must have been March 30, 1281 BC. Egypt was totally destroyed and took many unrecorded years to rebuild.
Caiaphas may be from the Egyptian word Kayafa meaning beautiful king.
Thus, the hypocrisy of Caiaphas accusing Jesus of being the King of the Jews. Thus, a near match of Cochrane to Cain in the Little Scottish Cluster. Cain could match Kayafa and Cohane and Cain in Genesis who slew his brother Abel.
Romans 9:17 "For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth."
"Mattthew 23:27 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."
The High Priest in Jesus' day was a type of the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
My matches to R1b1 Cohen may also be from Caiaphas. Some of the near matches in the Little Scottish Cluster like Howard for Herod suggest this.
One match on Ysearch is a Kha from Egypt. I match him about 700 BC at 30 genetic steps out of 67 markers. Most likely the common ancestor we share was from 17,000 years ago like it was for King Tut. Kha means descended from the Pharaoh's, Kha = King. According to Deuteronomy an Egyptian was allowed into the congregation after the third generation. There may be an R1b1 common ancester from Egypt 3000 years ago.
Deuteronomy 23:7 "Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
23:8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation."
My ancestors probably were Jewish when they emigrated to Scotland/England with William the Conqueror in 1066. The match to Cockerham first appears by Lyme Regis; from whence my ancestor Henry Bennett sailed to Old Lyme Connecticut in 1647. Further back there are possible matches to Cochran in Ireland and Scotland. I match about a dozen Cochrans in the Cochran surname project at Family Tree DNA from 500 years ago. See Ev Cochrane of the Velikovsky Encyclopedia. Gregg Cochrane has done much research on Jewish intelligence. I match Ely Levitte about 675 years ago in the Cohen r1b1 project. His forefather was Juhanet lo Vito (Levit) 1280 BC. You can look him up on Google.
This was an Italian name made of Hebrew words Levit, rather than Vito - life. In Hebrew lo means no. So when he became Christian he was no Levite. In Italian "lo" means "the".
Thus, the name was changed to mean "the life" from Levit. Moreh ha-net (like Ju-ha-net) was the name given to Rabbi Yom Tov ben Abraham of Seville (1250 - 1330 AD). He was compared to the great Eagle of Ezekiel. "The idea was that the Great Eagle, with its enormous wings soars in the heights of heaven and carries fledglings in its wings. The Great Eagle suddenly appeared in Spain like a star streaking across the sky, spreading its light on the horizon, then faded into the night leaving an after glow."
Thus, Bennett may be from Ju-ha-net. Ben, the son of John. Juhanet was the Hebrew name for John. There are two John Bennetts in my ancestry. John in Hebrew means Jehovah favoured. Thus, Juhanet was a variation of Jehovah.
I match many other L48 in the Moore surname project perhaps from Moreh meaning Guide or Rabbi.
There are equally as many L21 for the Moore surname project. Looking at the Ferguson project, Wilson and Spicer appear as L21. Jews came from Spire in France about 1100 AD. These are beside Cochran and Bennett in the tree form the Little Scottish Cluster. Then L48 and L21 may both refer to people in the same tree, same position. Likewise an Alpha L21 is Patterson which I match 60 generations ago as an L48.
Also this Patterson is a third cousin in autosomal DNA partly because he shares my father's mother same X chromosome, Jewish H1e or H1g1.
Thus, this Jewish DNA passed undiluted both on the father's side and the mother's side back some 60 generations. Patterson may be from Peter = rock and possibly Caiaphas = hollowed rock.
John Wilson wrote in 1840 Our Israelitish Origin "in which he claimed that the peoples of Israel had made their way across the continent of Europe to the British Isles."
Isaiah 16:1 "Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela (Petra = rock) to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion."
Jesus is the Lamb. Perhaps this verse depicts Jesus appearing before the High Priest named a rock such as Cephas, Caiaphas.
The Mishnah in Para 3:5, called Caiaphas Ha Koph, the monkey, for opposing Mishnat Ha-Hasidim. The first letter Qof may mean jump, "how did this man jump into the priesthood". It may mean the joints of the knee, to bend. It may mean to enclose. In Zechariah 14:6 it means to congeal.
Psalm 22:16 "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet."
Zechariah 14:6 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the lightH216 shall not be clear,H3368 nor dark:H7087"
H7087 means to shrink or thicken, to congeal, thus like darkness and darkness not caused by clouds.
Note the similar spelling to Caiaphas:
H7087 קָפָא qâphâ' kaw-faw' A primitive root; to shrink, that is, thicken (as unracked wine, curdled milk, clouded sky, frozen water): - congeal, curdle, dark`, settle. Total KJV occurrences: 4
Matthew 9:16 "No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse."
You can see the last three letters from right to left as in the alphabet the words Joseph ben Caiaphas. Thus, the pronunciation Caiaphas.
The second meaning is to leap. From this H5362; is H5364 probably a rope.
Caiaphas = this same three letters in Hebrew = "to draw or gather oneself up, to compose the body and limbs as in death, i. q. to die."
Hebrew and English Lexicon. 1849. p.933.
Matthew 19:24 "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
The word camel phonetically is also rope. Rope is far too thick to thread a needle.
Isaiah 5:18 "Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:"
Isaiah 5:18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cordsH2256 of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:H5688
Joshua 2:15 "Then she let them down by a cordH2256 through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall."
H2256 חֵבֶל חֶבֶל chebel chêbel kheh'-bel, khay'-bel From H2254; a rope (as twisted), especially a measuring line; by implication a district or inheritance (as measured); or a noose (as of cords); figuratively a company (as if tied together); also a throe (especially of parturition); also ruin: - band, coast, company, cord, country, destruction, line, lot, pain, pang, portion, region, rope, snare, sorrow, tackling. Total KJV occurrences: 62
Thus, the word Kheh'-bel may have been what Jesus said.
Joshua 2:21 "And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet lineH8615 in the window."
Psalm 62:5 "My soul, waitH8615 thou only upon God; for my expectationH8615 is from him."
Genesis 49:18 "I have waitedH6960 for thy salvation, O LORD."
H6960 קָוָה qâvâh kaw-vaw' A primitive root; to bind together (perhaps by twisting), that is, collect; (figuratively) to expect: - gather (together), look, patiently, tarry, wait (for, on, upon). Total KJV occurrences: 49
The root word קָוָהqavah to tiqvahתִּקְוָה Wait = Cord = Hope.
H8615 תִּקְוָה tiqvâh tik-vaw' From H6960; literally a cord (as an attachment (compare H6961)); figuratively expectancy: - expectation ([-ted]), hope, live, thing that I long for. Total KJV occurrences: 34
The Arabic Kamal was one of the simplest methods of measuring altitude. "The latitude hook of the Polynesians was a piece of split bamboo with a loop at the top; its length was aligned with the horizon and star to show when the desired latitude had been reached. The Arabs used a more refined tool called the kamal, a rectangle of wood cut to fit the distance from the horizon to the star. It had a piece of knotted string attached, which could be held in the teeth, guaranteeing that an"arm's length” distance would remain uniform."
The knots in the Kamal would prevent the rope from passing through the eye of a needle. The knots marked the distance, and with a hand or fingers or block of wood, the altitude, and thus the latitude, from the horizon to the pole star. The knots were held in the teeth of the one using the Kamal.
The pole star altitude told the Arab navigators what latitude they were at. In 7 BC when Jesus was born, HIP 59504, was a 5th magnitude star at the 33° above the equator = the just south of the 32° latitude there at Bethlehem = the pole star at the time at 87° - almost 90° above earth's axis, like Polaris today. There was no light pollution, so this 5th magnitude star would be easily visible.
From 0 and 1 magnitude = the brightest stars like Vega and Arcturus and Sirius - up to 6 magnitude stars can be seen at a dark sight with the unaided eye.
Job 38:32 "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"
The seven stars of the Big Dipper point to Arcturus. The guide was the pole star just below Polaris = our pole star now, and above the the Big Dipper as you can see to the right. The Big Dipper is the only Chinese constellation that is the same in the Western constellations. The seven stars of the Big Dipper pointed to Arcturus and revolved around the pole star. What that star would be is determined by earth's precession = a 360° twist = 23° circle from vertical, in 26,000 years.
The Arabic name for this string or rope with knots to mark the latitude was "Kamal" = the same Hebrew word for rope and the same pronounciation "Camel" as for the desert beast of burden. That is, Gamel for Camel, and Gimel for rope.
Thus "rope" may have been misinterpreted by the similar sounding word for Camel:
Genesis 24:64 "And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel."
Genesis 24:64 "And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.H1581"
H1581 גָּמָל gâmâl gaw-mawl' Apparently from H1580 (in the sense of labor or burden bearing): - camel. Total KJV occurrences: 54
Luke 18:25 "For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
The word camel should be rope.
Caiaphas' first name Joseph was named after Jacob's son who brought the sons of Jacob into Egypt.
You can read from the Mariam ossuary right to left the same letters for Caiaphas: The son, Ben, of Caiaphas. The name may be phonetic, either from Kha = Egyptian king or Kafa Egyptian for beautiful or in the Chaldea language, a depression in rock.
Matthew 23:27 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."
The name may also be from Greek for one who hollowed out a k. measure out of a block. Thus, Caiaphas may again mean a hollowed out rock.
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone."
Stone = a piece of hollowed rock. Only Caiaphas is spelled with a Q, "Qof," not a C, "Kaf"; meaning instead: "to draw or gather oneself". The ossuary of Caiaphas is very beautiful on the outside.
Matthew 23:27 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."
A hollowed out empty cistern in Caiaphas', the High Priest's, palace where they may have let Jesus down the night of his capture:
Jeremiah 2:12 "Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."
Caiaphas may mean hollowed stone, but Caiaphas begins with the letter Qof not the letter Kaf:
Caiaphas = this same three letters in Hebrew = "to draw or gather oneself up, to compose the body and limbs as in death, i. q. to die." The three letters are the root word for dark and cold. The second meaning is to leap.
Hebrew and English Lexicon. 1849. p.933.
From the root word H5362; is H5364, probably a rope.
2 Chronicles 23:7 "And the Levites shall compassH5362 the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out."
H5362 נָקַף nâqaph naw-kaf' A primitive root; to strike with more or less violence (beat, fell, corrode); by implication (of attack) to knock together, that is, surround or circulate: - compass (about, -ing), cut down, destroy, go round (about), inclose, round.

The origin of the R1b1 Cowan surname, perhaps like the Cochrane surname, is one ancestor about 700 AD according to the book When Scotland was Jewish.
British Israel claims descent from the 12 tribes of Israel. The 12 tribes of Israel are J1 from Abraham that is less than 1% of Brittons. Nevertheless, 12% of Scottish men are R1b1 Jewish descent.
John 18:24 "Then Annas sent him forth, having bound him, to Caiaphas the high priest.
18:25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They therefore said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? He denied, and said I am not.
18:26 One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of him whom Peter cut off the ear, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him?
18:27 Again then Peter denied, and immediately the cock crowed.
18:28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the praetorium, and it was early."
He possibly may have been a good looking royal Egyptian slave that Annas' daughter chose for a husband. However, my common R1b1 Y-DNA ancestor was a Cohen priest in the Netherlands 80 generations ago = about 200 BC. Kayafa in Egyptian and Hebrew mean Beautiful King. For Caiaphas to have been chosen High Priest, and for him to remain High Priest for 18 years, he must have been very zealous with a well known pedigree.
Also, his granddaughter's tomb names the 24th priestly division Ma'aziah with Caiaphas. This priestly division of Zadok is named by David and Nehemiah. They did not have DNA back then to check for proper descent. A Cohen Gadol Alexander Jannaeus was pelted with lemons on Sukkot. This may have been partly because the people did not believe he was a direct descendant of Aaron. If a Jewish priest is my ancestor, the least I can do is to love Christ with all my heart.
Annas had five sons who became high priests. They would be brothers-in-law to Caiaphas. This may be the setting of parable of the rich man in hell:
Luke 16:28 "For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment."
This actually took place and was not a parable.
Joshua 3:17 "And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan."
The ark of the covenant was carried by two Levite priests. The walk of the priests carried the ark. The lives of the priests were backed up by their walk. God's presence was in the ark to make a way to cross to a saved eternity.
The ark has been depicted being covered by a cloth as the priests carried the ark through dry ground through the Jordan riverbed.
Numbers 4:5 "And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
4:6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof."
2 Samuel 6:3 "And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart."
2 Samuel 6:7 "And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?"
2 Samuel 6:13 "And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings."
1 Chronicles 15:1 "And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
15:2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
15:3 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it."
Thus, the ark was meant to be carried by the priests two and two, like Elijah and Elisha.
This Gibeah may refer to Gibeon where Joshua was in battle when he asked God to make the sun stand still in the sky.
My prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sukkot, the first day of the feast of tabernacles, in September 2010, was that Christ would be magnified. This date of the feast of tabernacles, the 17th lunar day of the seventh month, would be September 22, 2010. Then our first day in Israel, in Jerusalem, September 15, 2010, the day before Yom Kippur, would be about Jesus' birthday, September 13, 7 BC.
Dave Higgins, whose grandfather was Jewish, asked "Did you feel it?" The second time I touched the western wall I felt a small shock.
You can bring your laptop, you do not need a power converter. Most laptops are made by international companies. The range of volts covered on my HP laptop power cord the writing states the range to be from 100 volts to 240 volts. So both your 110 volts and Israel's 240 volts will work with your power cord.
I share a common ancestor with these Cochrans within 700 years ago, perhaps even 500 years ago. Cohane may have been changed to Cochran. Bill Cochran and E. Watchorne were the first to bring the Gospel to the Okanagan in 1910. On the workers list their names were J. Cocoran 1903 and Dick Wathorn 1904. Cocoran is very like Cockerham, the nearest match to Bennett. Rae Walde (Gellatly) said they called themselves Followers in the Way. They came to a family in Westbank, BC, the Welch family - no survivors, and about this time their son died.
Rae Gellatly was about 12 at the time she and the Gellatly family came to Gospel Meetings in a home in Westbank in 1910. Rae (Gellatly) Walde came to a Gospel Meeting in 1995. After 85 years she said it was the same, two ministers.
1 Kings 14:13 "And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam."
1 Kings 14:17 "And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;"
Stanley Watchorne, younger than E. Watchorne, emphasized to the young people to be sure they were sincere. This young boy, with words like that, perhaps from the older E. Watchorne, may have entered a saved eternity.
Jesus was two years old when the wisemen worshiped him. Thus, even at this young age, this child had the possibility of salvation.
Luke 18:15 "And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
18:16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."
It is possible that a Welch baby was buried in Glenrosa Cemetery in 1911. This child died in Glenrosa but no proof that this child was buried in Glenrosa Cemetery. The following short article is found in page 1 of the Thursday, January 19, 1911 edition of the "The Kelowna Courier and Okanagan Orchardist". "We regret to announce the death of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. A Welch which took place a day or two ago at Glencoe (Glenrosa). The baby had been ailing for several days, and much sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents." A week later the following information appeared on page 1 of the The Kelowna Courier and Okanagan Orchardist. "Mrs. Welch is spending a short time with Mr. and Mrs. Gellatly."

Message from the Right Honourable R. B. Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada, on the occasion of the Jewish New Year: "I am very pleased to avail myself of the opportunity to offer through the Canadian Jewish review my best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year to all Canadians of Jewish ancestry. According to the last dominion census in 1931, there were then in Canada 156,726 people of hebrew origin, or 1.51 per cent of the entire population. The observance in the traditional manner of the advent of the year 5695 in their calendar will be the occasion for Jews throughout the world to meditate upon the past and contemplate the future.
The past reveals the history of a people, who, moulded by suffering, produced a race whose religious faith and patriotism have survived misfortune and prosperity alike. Their faith was based upon the teachings of great prophets and this spiritual heritage enabled them to live with unfailing hope, to preserve their racial identity, and to encounter the influences of other cultures without losing their own. Throughout the ages the descendants of ancient Israel have contributed their quota to the learning, the arts and the literature of mankind. From early times Jews have made their homes in Canada.
Here as throughout the rest of the British Empire, enjoying full rights of citizenship and equality before the law, Jewish people have engaged in all-professions and pursuits and many of them have attained wealth and high position.
While the daily press continues to remind us we are still living in a troubled world, Canada has been more fortunate than other countries. The economic improvement which we are now experiencing promises to maintain itself so that Jews together with all Canadians may look forward to brighter and more prosperous days."
R.B Bennett made a billion dollar loan to China in 1931.

Luke 7:1 "Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue."
Some of my Y-DNA surname matches are Briggs and Travers for bridge. However, the match Travis may have come from the Jewish community of Traviso, near Venice Italy, where Lo Vito is from. Lo Vito is from Levite = Hebrew: no Levite. Thus, when the man with the surname Vito became Christian he changed his name to No Levite. There often was a bridge from the Jewish quarter to the outside population.
Isaiah 51:22 "Thus, saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
51:23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over."
Bridge to the Temple. All that is left is the beginning of the arch, the Robinson's Arch:
Here you see the Wilson Arch at the Western Wall.
From the Old Synagogue at the Dead Sea from 100 AD. Here you can see birds. These are probably the phoenix, and they look identical to the Chinese phoenix the fire crane. The Egyptians depicted the phoenix as an Heron like these creatures.
Here you see the part of the Old Synagogue where a replica of the ark of the covenant was placed.
Here you can see winged angels carved into the rock at Petra from 200 BC:
All these works demanded a lot of physical labour.
Exodus 5:8 "And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God."
Matthew 20:1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
W.A.C. Bennett on the economics of socialism: "I was an expansionist. I believe in growth. These people that say no growth, must love to see unemployment, the Master condemned, people idle in the market place."
The more people that move to BC means the more people who will hear and obey the Gospel and no more idle in the market place.
I asked my grandfather why he built the dams in BC. He said he built the dams because it was clean energy. Talk about foresight!
The W.A.C. Bennett Dam. Behind this dam is the Williston reservoir:
Revelstoke Dam and Columbia River Treaty dams.
On September 12, 1967, a ceremony was held where Lieutenant Governor General George R. Pearkes dedicated the W.A.C. Bennett dam to the service of the people of British Columbia. This was Jesus' actual birthday, September 12, 7 BC. On September 22, 1968 over 3,000 people jammed into the huge underground power house to watch the premier switch on Peace Power. W.A.C. stood and pulled the switch. The turbines started. The whole room shook. Power was now flowing to homes and industry in BC.
W.A.C. Bennett at 1976 25 minutes MP3. wac.html.
"What do you think was your proudest moment as premier the crowning achievement if you want to put it that way?"
"The greatest thing we did was the two river policy. The Peace and the Columbia no body else would have built that. Both parties, Liberal and Conservatives, sent their best beef to defeat us on it. The U.S. come up here and followed me to every meeting where I had a meeting to see what I was saying. They never thought I was going to build the Peace. They thought I was using that as a lever to get the Columbia. Of course I wanted them both. Our greatest thing was that against everybody else's advice and every body's criticism we built the two rivers in the early sixties instead and the NDP wanted to build them in 1984. Even if they were built even as late as this, Social Credit, we saved the people of this province two billion dollars in capital cost."
"50 or 100 years from now how would you like you and your administration to be thought of?"
What image would you like to have left on the history of British Columbia?"
"We found BC country's number one have not province to in 21 years become the country's number one have province. We made the public sector that way we made the private sector that way."
A have province is a province that contributes to other provinces in Canada in equalization payments.
They used to say WAC Bennett wrote the cheque in Victoria and Joey Smallwood cashed the cheque in Newfoundland.
"How does he want to be remembered in the history books? The answer is so unlike his term as premier. It is short and it is simple."
"I did my best, that is all."
People coming to my grandfather's Bennett Hardware asked if my grandfather was Jewish because he sold merchandise. My grandfather said he was'nt Jewish, but if he was he would be proud to be Jewish. At that time none of us knew of any Jewish ancestry. Bennett MacCauley, my grandfather's sister Cora's son, claimed Bennett was Jewish, but we all thought he was crazy. Bennett MacCauley, died on a plane ride back from Israel.
W.A.C. Bennett believed mostly in the New Testament teachings of Jesus and would have been a minister if he had not gone into politics.
He quoted the verses:
Romans 10:1 "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. "
"I feel very sorry for Mr Barrett, that he entered his position without knowledge."
Here is a 20 year graph of BC debt:
You can see the red line of debt end August 1, 1959. Then the black line climb to $1.4 billion by 1972.
W.A.C. Bennett strongly marked these verses in his Bible:
Matthew 19:21 "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."
This was the condition to follow Jesus in his homeless ministry. He met our Friends the Crawfords and Wodelet's in Westlock, Alberta in 1927 just before he was married, in Edmonton on July 11, 1927, selling butter. He was remembered because he overweighed the butter he gave them. W.A.C. Bennett purchased a partnership in the Westlock store on February 19, 1927 and married July 11, then moving to Edmonton where my Dad was born December 14, 1929, then moving to Kelowna where my uncle Bill was born April 14, 1932, when Winnie Earle came to work for my grandparents.
The Social Credit party came from Alberta to BC with an anti-semite faction. Jewish people came to my grandfather and expressed their concern of the Social Credit Party. WAC replied: "Have you ever heard me speak that way?"

WAC with the painter:
R.B. Bennett on why he did not come back to Canada: On Sunday they sing Hallelujah to the King. A week later, on Friday, they crucify you. There really was nothing R.B. Bennett could do about the Great Depression in 1930-1935. It was a world wide depression and R.B. Bennett got the blame. He was very rich, and gave all his money to charity and to World War II. Even when he was Prime Minister he gave about one million dollars in letters to individual destitute Canadians out of his own pocket. At the station when R.B. Bennett left Canada there were only two people to see him off. Tommy Douglas and another person.
R.B. Bennett tried to bring in many needed reforms, and Tommy Douglas recognized this. Tommy Douglas taught the fairness of the New Testament teachings of Jesus to all. He was instrumental in bringing public health care to Canada.
Tommy Douglas believed in balanced budgets. Although the free enterprise Saskatchewan Party has brought business and jobs back to Saskatchewan.
1 Samuel 25:28 "I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days."
The Lord's battles are spiritual battles, not politics.
R.B. Bennett waited to the end of his five year term to call the election in October of 1935. He told MacKenzie King he waited till Yom Kippur was over. He read a chapter of the Bible before going to bed every night.
W.A.C. Bennett rising to speak at this historic event.
Lyndon Johnson was president from November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969 and Vice President from January 20, 1961. Thus, if NASA discovered the missing day by 1969 as Harold Hill claims he heard, then it had to have been during Lyndon's term as US president, or even in his term as Vice President.
On September 6, 1964, Lyndon Johnson gave W.A.C. Bennett a cheque for 254.4 million dollars for the Columbia River Treaty.
The Saturn V rocket to the Moon Apollo 8, Saturday, December 21, 1968: "the tower is clear": "Someone estimated that the thrust from the booster's first stage engines at lift off would equal more than twice the hydroelectric power that would be obtained if all the rivers and streams in North America were channeled through turbines."
A Man on the Moon, p.80
W.A.C. met Ronald Reagan when he was governor of California. And in Reagan's first run at the presidency he predicted Reagan would be president. President Jimmy Carter may be a Y-DNA relative. Carter is like Wainright = wagon smith because Jewish people could not own land, and could only sell their wares from a wagon.
Some of my close Y-DNA matches are Carter. Even Carter appears in the R1b1 Cohen matches. President Carter arranged for the Camp David Peace Treaty. President Woodrow Wilson may also be a Y-DNA relative. His famous quote: "If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days; if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now." Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams share a common Y-DNA ancestor with me about 1100 years ago according to the Rogers surname project. A Truman is a 12 marker match. President Millard Fillmore was a cousin of my grandfather's.
Fillmore was the first president to begin trade with Japan. Matthew C. Perry arrived in July 1853. The Japanese told them they smelled like the pigs they eat. The Japanese showed them how to take a long Japan bath you sit in up to your shoulders.
There is a Fillmore from Pennsylvania haplogroup G. G is considered to be from the middle east and is often Jewish.
His cousin Reuben Fillmore, my ancestor, has an ancestor Margery Jordan, who may have been descended from the Jordans at familytreedna.com who are descended from the Biblical Aaron. Just look up familytreedna.com (Family Tree DNA) for Jordan and in the Y-DNA you will see Nathaniel Jordan of Wenhasten Suffolk 1753 who if you look up the map was descended from Aaron of the Bible. Phil Jordan informed me when he did his DNA he became the cornerstone to Aaron of the Bible. Family Tree DNA has spent years defining the Biblical Aaron, is confident of its results. Margery Jordan was born in Brundish Suffolk in 1572 and Nathaniel Jordan of J1 Y-DNA, from Abraham, was born 20 km east in Wenhasten Suffolk in 1753.
The common ancestor between Nathaniel Jordan and the Zerdanowski's from the Jewish community of Skvira may have been about the time of Christ, at least from about 300 AD. Probably this Jordan line has been Christian for a thousand years. Even if Margery's father Henry was not J1, he may have been R1b1 cohen. I match an R1b1 Y-DNA Jordan on my Y-DNA. Nevertheless, I match a Jordan from Ireland that is probably this J1 Jordan. Also I match a Feinstein, that is J1 from Abraham, as fifth cousin in the amount of DNA shared in Family Tree DNA family finder. He is from the Ukraine.
The J1 Jordans are from Skvira Ukraine and Feinstein is J1 also, probably descended from Aaron of the Bible. In these matches, one segment is shared with Feinstein and a person with a Jordan ancestor. Margery Jordan's sister was Christian Jordan 1569 and John Jordan's son was Christian Jordan 1435 Brittany France. This proves a good affirmation of faith. Our forefathers called themselves Christians, but really they were not. Enfant baptism is not scriptural. Enfant batism began in about 1530. So the earliest most people can trace their family is about 13 generations. Most Jewish people can only trace 5 generations. If they were Christians they would not baptise at birth and thus there would be no record of them.
One researcher from Family Tree DNA wrote me:
"Thank you for your email. It is difficult for us to comment on the conclusions of genealogical research into paper records as we specialize in analysis of the DNA testing. I see that under kit Joel Czekaj is listed as 4th-distant cousin based on the amount of DNA you share. This indicates a match in a little as 125 years with the possibility of sharing a common ancestor around the range of the same great-great-great grandparent, though it is likely you could be more distantly related given that you are from a Jewish background. Those with Jewish ancestry sometimes show matches that are predicted to be more closely related than they actually turn out be due to extensive intermarriage within the same population."
Czekaj is from Chezekah meaning from the Cohen priestly line of Zadok. Then the possibility of being related to Caiaphas which was in the Zadok line of High Priests.
125 years is five generations back, or third cousin.
1 Corinthians 2:8 "Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."
About 1262 AD there was a Cochrane common ancestor Waldeve de Coeuran in Scotland from France. However, this may be a different lineage altogether.
A distant common relative from that time, 1300 AD, was named Czekaj and Zajenkauskas from indirect descendant of Zadok the High Priest in David's day. This was the High Priest who was loyal to David. Some matches to Bennett are Dawkins = David's son.
From "A Little Scottish Cluster" a DNA relationship chart of names in Scotland and Europe. Bennett although not displayed, is right beside Cochran, Wilson, Carter (Davisson). Carter is a common Cohen name because Jewish people had to sell their wares from a wagon because they could not own land. Wainright = wagon wheel:
You will see the main results are with the Wilson surname.
Both, Familytreedna.com, and the Little Scottish Cluster, and the Ivan Hoe cluster, and the book When Scotland was Jewish, have the same results.
Many of these names are Jewish names, such as Lewis and Lee from Levi, Collins and Coons from Cohen:
The 3000 Scottish surnames: A Little Scottish Cluster. 300 surnames near the top share the same R1b1 Jewish Cohen ancestor in the Rhine valley 80 generations ago.
I match Faux about 700 AD. Faux could come from Falk or Fulk, King of Jerusalem during the crusades in 1000 AD and father of the Kings of Jerusalem for about 100 years. King Roger II did not participate in the crusades because his mother was sent back to Sicily by king Baldwin I of Jerusalem and there died.
Family Tree DNA tells me there are few that have tested from a common ancestor from about 400 BC. There are many that match the Y-DNA from 1850 BC. Thus, the common ancestor to this huge family tree from Scotland may be from this 1850 BC.
Here you see a larger R1b1 Jewish family tree from Jewett down to Winkler, Wainright:
Some Jewish people associated with the Mennonites. Thus, Winkler is sometimes Mennonite both R1b1 Y-DNA Jewish and J1 Y-DNA Abraham Jewish. Likewise, This H1e - H1g1 mtDNA Moroccan Jewish, is found among the Hutterites.
One in eight Scottsmen is from R1b1 Jewish. The Gospel began in Scotland and Northern Ireland in 1897. Thus, many Christian descendants are from R1b1 Jewish.
You can see Barrett, the surname of a former BC NDP Premier, Dave Barrett. Bennett and Barrett may share the same Jewish ancestor. Some of my Jewish matches are from Belarus and Poland, beside Russia, where Dave Barrett's parents were from.
Both were suffering from Alzheimers, (Bill passed away December 3, 2015, and David passed away February 2, 2018) possibly from the same Jewish genes.
You can see the surname Cain. This could be a shortened form of Cohane = Cohen. Also, it may refer to Cain and Abel, Caiaphas the High Priest who slew Jesus.
Caiaphas may have had a son who was high priest, Elionaeus. One of the 36 names in my Y-DNA family tree from the time of Christ is Elliot above, perhaps from this Elionaeus. Elionaeus in the Midrash was the son of Qaph, perhaps Caiaphas. He was made High Priest about 44 AD. He was still High Priest in January 46 AD when Herod killed James, John's brother. He may have been deposed with the death of Herod in February 46 AD.
You can see the big picture here. 1000 years ago to a Jewish ancestor that came across to England with William the Conqueror. Wilson may have arrived in Scotland in 800 AD. Then 83 generations ago to the arrival of this Jewish ancestor to the Netherlands. 2000 years ago perhaps to Caiaphas. 3000 years ago perhaps to the Pharaoh of the Exodus, Merneptah.
I could say my ancestors lived in the Netherlands from 83 generations ago, and probably were not in Israel when Jesus was crucified. However, I do not know that. The surnames in my family tree at the time of Christ suggest the possibility of being related to, if not descended from, the High Priest at the time of Jesus' crucifixion.
From these trees you can see shared Jewish autosomal DNA; Shared-centimorgans Longest-block: Wilson 58 14, Shaw 57 9, Czerniejewski 57 9, Isaacs 55 16, Hall 52 9, Wilson 51 12, Hall 49 9, Cowan 49 8.
The first member arrived in Europe about 1000 BC.
There is the possibility the first Gentile convert to become Hebrew was from Egypt before the Exodus in 1281 BC.
From A little Scottish Cluster. Before Wilson may be Williams. Williams is common like Smith.
1 Timothy 1:3 "As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:"
"that they teach no other doctrine" Here you see the model for Joshua's long day and other sun miracles in the Bible. There is no other model. There is no other answer. Then there is no other doctrine. Although this is dates and numbers. There is no other way to present the dates and numbers that exist no where else.
This is "faith unfeigned."
Timothy, first and second letters, and Titus, most likely was not written by Paul, "which are the work of an early second-century author who claims the authority of Paul". See "The Authentic Letters of Paul".
Joshua 10:12 - 10:13 is not a fable.
"endless genealogies" is a point well taken. Y-DNA points to a priest that was a direct ancestor that lived at the time of Jesus' sacrifice.
The main point of this research is to point to Jesus.
The whole point of creation was Jesus' sacrifice. The whole point of sun miracles from the beginning of time was to point to Jesus' sacrifice.
Most people enjoy the results of their DNA. If I may be forgiven for Jewish ancestry from the time of Jesus.
Luke 23:34 "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."
Luke 23:34 is in not in most early manuscripts. The verse may have been erased and reinserted.
Nevertheless, it is certain Jesus spoke those words.
The Byzantine RP version omits the brackets. "In both the WH and NA editions, the use of bracketing indicates that the enclosed text has some likelihood of authenticity, important conflicting manuscript evidence favors the omission of the bracketed text. (The RP, Robinson-Pierpont, edition does not use bracketing)
The Complete Hebrew Greek Bible, Dotan, Westcott Hort, Hendrickson Publishers.
Luke 23:34 "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.G2819 "
There are two Greek words for lots.
G2819 κλῆρος klēros klay'-ros Probably from G2806 (through the idea of using bits of wood, etc., for the purpose); a die (for drawing chances); by implication a portion (as if so secured); by extension an acquisition (especially a patrimony, figuratively): - heritage, inheritance, lot, part. Total KJV occurrences: 13
Jewish ancestry from those that crucified Jesus means all people of Jewish descent need Jesus' forgiveness.
Ten percent of Scottish surnames share this same distant ancestor. WWII Prisoners of War in Philippines: Willie Jamieson, Ernest Stanley, Leo Stancliff, Cecil Barrett and Herman Beaber. Jamieson is a Scottish surname. A quote from Willie Jamieson, prisoner of war, in 1943 in the Philippines:
"We had a plant in Manila that if you would go outside any time during the night and look at it you could tell just in what direction the sun was. We must needs keep facing towards the Son of God at all times also, in order to receive as much nourishment as we can."
Audience with His Holiness Pope Paul VI at the Vatican. Tuesday, September 21, 1963.
You can read "How To Meet the Pope" The Wonderful World of WAC Bennett, p.252.
The vatican is said to have been founded on the home where early Christians, perhaps even where Peter met. Soon after the death of Peter the church left the foundation of the minister without a home and the Church in the home. I meet in fellowship in the home and with ministers who have left their home.
Times item...PREMIER SAYS "I BELIEVE." "Five applicants for the position Sir. Three believe outright in Santa Clause, one is open minded and one still can't see how Santa gets around to all the houses in one night..."
WAC is depicted taking aim practicing with a bow and arrow because when he had a barge full of the bonds of BC debt burned August 1, 1959, because all direct debt was paid off, he missed with his flaming arrow, and the barge had to be lit by someone else.
We are taught to reasonably question. If we don't know, probably it is not true. This is not Santa Clause. We do now know God must have moved the sun around the earth. Not just probably true. God did move the sun to point to Jesus many many times!
In the days of Morse Code, there was an ad for the position of telegrapher. The applicants waited in the waiting room hearing a clickity click. Finally one of them got up and went in for an interview. Then the clerk opened the door and said "the position is filled, you can all go home." They responded "you never called us." The clerk said "I have been asking in Morse Code for the person who hears this message to come in. The position is filled."
In 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first telegraph "What hath God wrought!"
Updated Little Scottish Cluster:
Here you see some more Jewish names beside Cochran, such as Lewis from Levi, Cain from Cohane, Davis from David. Also, a common R1b1 ancestor about 1000 BC somewhere in Europe.
1 Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
You will notice Draghici which is Jewish from Romania. Some Cowans in Northern Ireland matched Draghici in autosomal DNA. Thus, the Jewish DNA that does not water down in a Cohen descendant from the surname Cowan.
Google in Israel:
When asked by a reporter where he got his power, W.A.C. Bennett bent over and plugged in the light. The reporter wrote: W.A.C. is plugged in to God. My grandfather left me with an invitation by our beloved housekeeper, Winnie Earle, to hear the Gospel. Jesus left us with the promise of the Holy Ghost. He is a comforter to us because Jesus is no longer on this earth.
Winnie was going to retire when my grandfather died. But she stayed on to give me a foundation of truth. Here are some verses marked by W.A.C. in his Bible:
I professed just after my 18th birthday. The best time to profess is 17, perhaps the significance of the number of 17 in the Bible. You get your driving liscence when you are 16, just in time to drive yourself to Gospel Meeting.
My grandmother came to many Gospel Meetings the first few years I professed. She confessed to my Aunt Winnie this is the true way of God. My grandfather, W.A.C. Bennett, was often confronted by atheists in his 20 years as premier of British Columbia. In the local paper, Kelowna Daily Courier 50 years ago today, Wednesday April 2, 2014, thus 1964: "Teachers target religion. A request by British Columbia teachers to eliminate religious exercises from schools appears to be meeting with widespread sympathy. Opinion expressed has this flavour: If the exercises are meaningless, they should either be abolished or improved. But the provincial government, (W.A.C. Bennett), immediately quashed any suggestion of the former.
About 1995 I asked Winnie for a copy of the Missing Day. She was able to get a fax of the Missing Day Story. From then, I sent a letter to the publisher and received the story they published with a letter from NASA denying the story. The summer of 1999 I discovered earth's reverse orbit = God moved the sun to the other side of earth. Winnie was very impressed with the solution. I explained earth would have to shift on its axis at the half orbit point to keep in the same season. Winnie did not think that was so. Winnie died just a few months later, October of 1999.
About 2006 I discovered the sun must move up or down to keep the earth in the same season, even in the same zodiac path of stars. Thus, Winnie was right, earth was untouched.
Winnie told my father, RJ, "I had many fears in life, most of them never happened!"
My father, RJ, said there are no atheists in foxholes during a war!
When my grandfather, WAC Bennett, hosted the premier's conference in Victoria, no alcohol was allowed. Ovaltine was served instead. August 31, 1971, my grandfather banned all alcohol or cigarette advertising in BC.
Michael Levy urged the Social Credit Party to delete a clause from the party's constitution that calls on Social Credit to foster Christian principles. At the BC Social Credit convention in October 1990 there was a vote to change the constitution from supporting the New Testament Teachings of Jesus to just "the belief in God". I was there. There was a room of 220 people. There were a few people to speak for both sides. A Jewish boy spoke that he was offended by the constitution upholding Christ. Then the vote for retaining the constitution was called. I and 20 others raised our hands. Then the vote to change the constitution to read the constitution just supported the belief in God. 200 hands went up. What people fail to realize in heaven there is only one government, God and Jesus. And in the Millennium there will only be God and Jesus.
Mark 8:38 "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
Many Bible books do not even mention the sun stood still for Joshua: National Geographic, Atlas of the Bible, 2018. The magazine: Amazing Places of THE BIBLE - display until 6/15/20 - does not mention the sun standing still at all. The Historical Atlas of the Bible, 2006. And others. The NET Bible suggests some possibilities for the sun standing still, but does not give the possibility God moved the sun with earth's rotation.
"Israel is called out in defense of their Canaanite partners (!) and wins a smashing victory against the five kings.."
A Biblical History of Israel, The Settlement in the Land, p.153
Again, nothing is said about the sun standing still for Joshua. In the section "Science and the Philosophy of Science" "the 'objective' spectator of classical Newtonian physics has thus become the 'impossible' spectator of the newer physics, and scientists are becoming much more aware of the ways in which the great broad theories of science are undermined by the facts." p.38.
Luke 17:27 "They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."
Likewise, many texts, also news papers, deny that Noah's flood happened. The point of the Bible is to point to Jesus. The pattern of the dates of Noah's flood point to Jesus' birth in the 17th day of the 7th month when the ark rested = Saturday, September 14, 3307 BC = year 600 from the Armenian sothis 3907 BC = 3307 BC; 3300 years to Jesus' birth, probably was Saturday, September 12, 7 BC = the 17th Hebrew lunar day of the 7th Hebrew month = the very date of my writing this line September 12, 2018.
Genesis Flood Narrative - Wikipedia "Flood geology is considered to be pseudoscientific"
There was a flood in the Aral Sea Basin during the fourth millennium BC = about 3500 BC. The actual date should be 3307 BC = Armenian Sothis Year 600. Then flood geology is scientific without doubt. Jesus spoke about Noah's flood and the destruction of Sodom. Thus, both events have to be true. Even Jesus must have been the third angel that talked to Abraham on the way to Sodom.
"If Dr. Velikovsky is right, then the rest of us are crazy. And seriously, that may be the case. It is, however, improbable."
Harlow Shapley, The Pseudo-Science Wars, p.27
Harlow Shapely: "The Velikovsky declaration or hypothesis or creed that the sun stood still is the most arrant nonesense of my experience."
Seriously, this is no joke and is not improbable but is fact.
Teachers say the religious exercises infringe on freedom and have little effect on the behaviour of students. While in government WAC Bennett promoted the reading of the Lord's prayer in schools. My teacher, Mrs Burke, helped my spiritual search when she had the class in grade 7 recite the Lord's Prayer. That was the only part of the Bible I learned up to that point. My teacher taught me respect for God. All of the class joined in wholeheartedly.
My grandfather said, "Things don't just happen". He knew by experience in government things don't just happen. Just read the Time cover feature September 30, 1966. He put together the Columbia River Treaty. W.A.C. Bennett was in government from 1952 - 1972.
W.A.C. Bennett paid off all direct B.C. debt in 1959. To signify B.C. was debt free he burned the government bonds on a barge in Okanagan Lake. My uncle Bill Bennett cut the civil service in 1983 when interest mortgage rates were 18%. See Historical Posted Mortgage Rates Graph (1975 to 2003) So by 1987 when Bill Vander Zalm became premier, Vander Zalm was able to pay down the debt by $700 hundred million.
In 1964 my grandfather gave a loan of $100 million to Quebec. The loan was paid back with 5% interest. It was the first interprovincial loan.
Here is table of BC debt:
| Year | Debt in Billions | Government |
| 1970 | $2.3 | WAC Bennett |
| 1972 | $2.7 | WAC Bennett |
| 1974 | $3.3 | David Barrett |
| 1976 | $4.6 | David Barrett |
| 1978 | $6.6 | Bill Bennett |
| 1980 | $8.1 | Bill Bennett |
| 1982 | $10.2 | Bill Bennett |
| 1984 | $14.6 | Bill Bennett |
| 1986 | $16.6 | Bill Bennett |
| 1988 | $17.0 | Bill Vander Zalm |
| 1990 | $16.3 | Rita Johnston |
| 1992 | $20.0 | Mike Harcourt |
| 1994 | $25.9 | Mike Harcourt |
| 1996 | $28.7 | Glen Clark |
| 1998 | $30.2 | Glen Clark |
| 2000 | $34.2 | Ujjal Dosanjh |
In an interview with WAC Bennett and CBC host Peter Gzowski, WAC said: ""Funny thing is when the new government came in, the socialist government come, it still showed in their budget, we are out of debt, right on their own budget, in their reports, they did not change it at all,"
Some of my uncle's government ministers at uncle Bill's death, stated that the cuts to government were not warranted, but just for show. However, the interest rate at that time was between 12% and 18%. So 20% of a $10 Billion debt in 1982 was $2 Billion, 10% of a $10 Billion debt was $1 Billion. Debt added to debt and multiplied. Like the Missing Day Story where 40 minutes had to be found because it could be multiplied many times over in orbits. Likewise places to make cuts needed to be found.
This is simple math. If you choose to make the cuts later, you have to pay the principal plus the accumulated interest. My uncle was responsible to the public interest. There were many death threats, but my uncle was undeterred. Probably no body else would have stood up to even death for the interest of the people. Thus, these cuts were essential.
I asked my grandfather WAC Bennett about God and he gave me a book, Man Does Not Stand Alone.
"Let us believe that our imagination will be perfected and that verily the deaf will hear sounds of beauty beyond human dreams, the dumb shall speak in every language, and the blind shall see every wonder of God's creation."
"As the eternal spirit of man rises Godward, gaining breadth of understanding as it reaches toward the sublime, the wonderous beauty of God's handiwork in the material world fade from sight as do children's stories from the memory of maturity. So indeed does earth sink into insignificance in contemplation of the cosmos. In the glory of spiritual conception, therefore, it may be found that matter is like the shadow that pales before the rising sun and become as nothing."
"Within the capacity of his soul, man can thus envision the Divine, and as his spirituality develops, he will come closer to the realization of the majesty, the power, and the glory of his Creator."
My grandfather said: "I looked always at the broad sphere of the universe. And as it unfolded to me and became more wonderful to me, I realized how small this earth was, how great the universe was. This little earth isn't a billionth part of the universe. And I realized as a young boy that man does not stand alone. There is another force." - A quote from W.A.C. Bennett.
I asked him about going to church when visiting him in Victoria and he said I had to go myself. No one in BC took spiritual advice from my grandfather, except me. There was an elder worker who gave his testimony that Aunt Winnie had shared with my dad, though not with me. His cousin had just professed and he went for a walk with him and the whole congregation stood up! Well, I got my chance to hear Charlie Wilson and stand up in 1980.
I asked my grandfather what church to go to. He did not say. He said I had to go myself. In that he did not tell me what church to go to, he left an openning for God to show me. I opened the phone book and looked under the church directory. The name should be the name of Christ. God's way does not have a name! It is not in the phone book. I closed the phone book! In that visit in Victoria my grandfather told me to come home to Kelowna to go to public school. Best as I remember the Monday following our visit on Sunday, on leave from Shawnigan Private School, in 1978 WAC Bennett issued a telegram to Fort Nelson:
"The only major public intervention on the part of W.A.C. Bennett came in the spring of 1978 (When I came to visit on weekend leave from Shawnigan Lake Private School probably the day after on Monday) when controversy swirled around one of the former premier's pet projects, the British Columbia Railway. A royal commission had been appointed to look into the operations of the BCR and was highly critical of the previous management of the railway and the methods used for northern expansion. When the ambitious but debt-ridden Fort Nelson extension of the BCR seemed threatened to be closed down, the former premier sent a Churchillian telegram to the Fort Nelson chamber of commerce:
"Have faith in your dark hour. Your best years lie ahead. Build a better and stronger Fort Nelson."
WAC Bennett and the Rise of British Columbia, p.450.
The point is just the day before I asked my grandfather what church to go to.
This telegram appeared in the newspaper that I subscribed to. I subscribed daily both to The Province and The Vancouver Sun papers at the private school.
In those visits my grandfather said he has stood on Mars Hill. Our elder minister Charlie Wilson also said he stood on Mars Hill.
Acts 17:22 "Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious."
Acts 17:26 "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;"
"the times before appointed" Thus the years, from the earliest calendar, ending in X68 BC, X45 BC X31 and X07 BC, all point to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, Jesus' life of 38 years, and Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
He also said he had seen or heard of a replica of the Temple being built in Jerusalem.
When in Kamloops in 1984 I was told by a friend Ernest Nelson had said to him that he met my grandfather years ago. He visited Winnie and her family many times over the years. Winnie at 859 Cadder Avenue was only a block away from my grandparents at 1979 Ethel Street. I walked down Ethel Street towards Aunt Winnie's with my grandfather when I was very young. Ernest may have met him when on a walk. Many at her home meeting had met my grandfather. Aunt Winnie typed up letters Ernest recorded into a tape recorder for his vast correspondence. Winnie may have mentioned Ernest's name to my grandfather. Even at work on the farm, Donna McKague repeated she had heard of his good testimony.
Commentators stated in the paper at the time he must have been crazy. Granted, my grandfather's telegraph may have had nothing to do with Ernest Nelson.
Ernest Nelson was the elder worker in B.C. for many years. He wrote me in time of need more than once. He has been in our home. He is well remembered. I wrote to him about my research on the Missing Day. He wrote back that he liked my version of it and that the Bible verses in Joshua were enough. Even today, I still believe God moved the sun 360° around the earth to stand still in the sky for 24 hours for Joshua. Still I begged to know how God did it to glorify him.
I asked Paul Sharp about Joshua and the Missing Day Story. He said they must have made a measurement. The sun on the other side of the earth, and earth in a reverse orbit is definitely a measurement.
When told that I had been to church before I came to Gospel Meetings, Charlie Wilson stated; You went to the synagogue! Some Wilsons are cousins next to Cochrane from when both were Jewish. Thus, Charlie was a true prophet! Winnie was impressed with my grandfather. She said the Bennett line would be worth looking into.
Charlie Wilson also stated that time cannot reverse.
So I stayed at my grandparents to go to school there. That year 1979 the night of February 23, W.A.C. Bennett died. My father R.J. and my mother Lois, and my aunt Anita Tozer, and my grandmother May were there at Kelowna General Hospital when he died.
Then in April our house keeper, we affectionately called Aunt Winnie, was going to retire but thought she might stay on if I came to Gospel Meetings. Though at the time she did not tell me that. She asked me to Gospel Meetings in April and I came when they started again in September and professed five months later in January. Little did she know this Way was exactly what I was searching for. She did not believe things just happened either. She stayed on another 10 years, 60 years in all, to help me get a foundation.
A friend, Bob Alford, stated his belief in the Missing Day Story in 1987 and in about 1994 I asked my Aunt Winnie for a copy, which she found for me. When I began my research I was told only five people in the world were working on sun miracles. Five maybe six. In 1999 I discovered earth's reverse orbit. Only in 2007 did my research uncover similar calculations to the Missing Day Story. Only in the spring of 2013 did I discover the current model and dates. When my grandfather was in hospital in 1977 some of our friends, Charlie and Edna Geall came to visit him. They said, we know Winnie Earle. He replied "She is a true Christian" and cried.
In 1973 Winnie asked W.A.C. Bennett if he and May would like to come to convention at Salmon Arm. He said Yes. However the night before they were to leave my grandmother came to Winnie and told her Mr. Bennett has a headache.
Nevertheless, my grandmother did come with me and Winnie to Salmon Arm Convention in the 1980's.
That year also I was very depressed because my grandfather had lost the election in 1972. About that time I thought if there was a right way, there would be a convention, and it would be very family oriented and the women would have long hair. In 1980, when I went to my first convention, it was exactly as I had envisioned it. His son Bill Bennett was premier till August 6, 1986. I was there when he stepped down at Expo 86. Jimmy Pattison did all the work to bring Expo 86 about, letting my uncle Bill take the credit.
Then the saying there is no limit to how far you can go if someone else gets the credit. Jimmy Pattison went $300,000,000 over budget to bring Expo 86 to Vancouver. The tourism boost over the next several years from Expo 86 repaid the $300,000,000 to the BC economy. Over the 172 days 22 million people came to Expo 86.
Patterson/Pattison is in the family tree near Wilson, near Bennett.
Bill Bennett said of Aunt Winnie in an interview in 1981 after being premier of BC for five years:
In the interview with Bill Bennett from 1981:
See Bill Bennett
On April 8, 1983, at noon, at the Big House of my grandparents, in my father's bedroom, I was praying desperately. The clothes hangers in the corner closet suddenly smashed. Winnie came in the bedroom with a letter from Ernest Nelson. Then the door bell rang. It was my uncle Bill, he had just called the election, the new reality of restraint, and needed a ride to the airport. On the way I related this interview about Aunt Winnie. He won the 1983 election with 49.76% of the vote.
When visiting my uncle Bill in the care home on a Saturday in November, 2015, at the lunch table, Bill said "I believe". Bill knew Winnie, and like the thief on the cross knew Jesus, he could know salvation.
In 1982 Pierre Trudeau made Bill Bennett the chair person to the formulation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. From the government charter of rights.ca, what it means: "The Charter protects your freedom to follow your religion, to have your beliefs and opinions, to express yourself, to gather in peaceful groups and to associate with others. It also protects the freedom of the press." Thus, this webpage is protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
In a dinner with my grandparents and Pierre Trudeau, my grandmother asked if Pierre had any Scottish ancestors. He said he did and they were Lowlanders. To which my grandmother stated: "They were Sassenachs (meaning Saxons)." My grandmother called Prince Charles the walking question mark for all the questions he asked.
Bill and I have had many visits in the elderly care home he is in. He oftens says of Winnie he would do anything for that woman. He loved Winnie. That Winnie was a good girl.
When she died our family was called. Our daughter cried. When leaving the nursing home, one of the nurses - on smoke break, called out: "Fifty years from now no one will remember, Dena!"
Gordon Winkler took Aunt Winnie's funeral. He said Winnie worked many years for the Bennett's. Gordon recited these verses of Jesus:
Luke 16:30 "And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
There is enough history and enough evidence to back up the Bible.
In the tea after Winnie's funeral my Aunt Anita Tozer turned to me and stated "This is right!"
Here is the Bennett Story, the Bennett Family Tree.
Malachi 3:16 "Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name."
Her last testimony was read from:
Joshua 24:19 "And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
24:20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good."
Joshua 24:15 "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
She was very definite who she served. She entered into rest October 1999 with white garments. No one just happens to make it to Heaven.
Here is some more background from Winnie's parents and sisters. The minister Alexa Roberts spoke from the verse:
Colossians 3:20 "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord."
"It was at the close of the meeting that Dad went up and spoke to Alexa Roberts, saying "Where did you get that?" "Out of the Bible" was her reply. "Well", said Dad, "I've read the Bible all my life but I've never seen anything in it like that."
"We already had been taught to obey our parents - but learning this "pleased the Lord" made it extra important!"
I visited Alexa Stephens (Roberts) in Vancouver many times.
Here is a picture of Alexa and her booklet on Charity by Henry Drummond:
When visiting Alexa in 1991, she said when she heard the workers "they were pointing at something". In testimony Alexa spoke from:
John 5:39 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life."
Alexa pointed out the reason we want to be in Heaven is because we love Jesus, not just because we want eternal life.
Here is a picture of Aunt Winnie at the "big house" from 1997:
Aunt Winnie had a dream that she read her obituary. If Winnie can read this today, that dream is a reality.
When Jesus sent the Comforter, another teacher (so to speak) the curriculum remained unchanged! What the Spirit prompts is always in harmony with what Jesus and the Bible teaches.
Mark 5:18 "And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel."
1 Timothy 2:1 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
2 Timothy 3:8 "Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith."
"For in ancient times there arose Moses and Aaron, by the hand of the prince of lights and Belial, with his cunning raised up Jannes and his brother during the first deliverence of Israel"
The Damascus Document, col V.
2 Peter 3:3 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
1 Timothy 6:20 "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."
Science teaches that the earth has orbited the sun, and continued without exception, the same way for billions of years. They teach the swirling particles of mass condensed to form the sun and planets and spin, always orbiting the sun in the same direction without interruption. This is false science. The sun has been there for billions of years. However, God moved the sun many times to the other side of earth = earth flowing into reverse orbits, in Old Testament times. Scientists will adamantly deny the sun moved, but I know God moved the sun many times.
In today's Astronomy magazine, May 2019, p.19 is a reward for $25,000 posted for disproving the creation of the solar system by this swirling particles. The AP Theory. Nevertheless, God moving the sun to the other side of the earth, and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun, essentially disproves the AP Theory. Thus, this swirling mass of particles at the beginning of the solar system was God's creation and not by chance. God moving the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun disproves the AP theory.
Everything orbits the sun one way. God moving the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun, some may say earth then is going the wrong way on a one way. Nevertheless, earth is going forward, flowing forward. Earth is not touched.
Some do not believe this is truth. My answer is just how many times these dates point to Jesus. God not only moved the sun to point to the coming of his son, but he also made earth's orbit, the moon's orbit - to also hide these sun miracles. And he made necessary stars like Arcturus to point to his son, and the star Sirius to point to a steady calendar, the Armenian and Egyptian Sothis calendars, for five thousand years. Even the constellation Orion matches the description of Jesus given in Revelation 1. The three stars of Orion's = the bands of Jesus' waist, and the seven stars in his right hand = the Pleiades. Straight down left from the three stars of the belt of Orion is Sirius, the star marking the 1460 years Sothis cycle from at least 5368 BC.
"Great is the power of steady misrepresentation; but the history of science shows that fortunately this power does not long endure." Charles Darwin.
Science today excludes God completely. Science says the sun has never moved. This is misrepresentation.
Jack Price stated that we take the oldest document as our guide and doctrine.
The oldest text can also be the text with the oldest spelling.
Shaun Buckley stated some have got into trouble by following words that were added to the original scripture. These are easily researched on Google. You can borrow books on the subject at your library, or purchase books.
False science opposes the Bible. True science supports the truth, the Bible. Some will say this is not science because it does not fit their perspective on life. Because they want to do as they please without the Bible. The fact the sun was moved to the other side of earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun is the truth and a profound truth. Something of this magnitude cannot be said to not be science.
NASA suggests science has falsified this miracle. Saying it is easy to see these events never happened. Science can be tested, to be falsified or verified. This is science, this movement of the sun and earth is verified. This is the scientific method, and the hypothesis is abundantly verified here with all my calculations shown. Verifiable because the model works and fits observation. This is not starting with the conclusion and deducing from there, it is much easier to find something you are looking for when you know it is there, and I found it.
You cannot disprove something that is true.
1 Timothy 1:4 "Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:"
These are not fables, but eye witness recorded facts. At least for myself, the DNA research in the distant past, where records have been lost, has answered many questions. The test of truth is that it answers more questions than it creates.
The main question answered was the R1b1 Cohen ancestry that may = Caiaphas. Thus, a need, although I do not know for sure, of thankfulness for Jesus' forgiveness.
Isaiah 19:11 "Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
1 Corinthians 1:27 "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"
Again:
I emailed NASA the following:
"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capitol with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away.'"
The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow p.143, The Chinese Classics.
The sun in Spring/February is in Pisces, the western sky at sunset is in Taurus not Scorpius/Fang. Did God move the sun to the other side of earth? http://sunnyokanagan.com/joshua/long.html
Andrew Bennett
Hi, and thanks for your question.
I'm afraid while you selected "Relativity" as a category on our web page, this question is a closer fit to the category "Night Sky".
Nevertheless, since we're not familiar with the text you refer to --- and since it appears that the astronomical statement is part of a dream rather than an actual documented observation --- we can't give you a useful answer.
Bernard & Ira
for Ask an Astrophysicist
The sun cannot naturally be in Virgo in Spring! Looking west at the sunset with the first quarter moon directly above = the sun is in Virgo and the moon in Fang/Scorpius! NASA used the Chinese Classics to date 37 solar eclipses and improve their solar eclipse model in Fortran. From the list of the 37 solar eclipses in the Chinese Classics is just 40 pages to king Wan's dream.
This astronomical statement in king Wan's dream is in full context of an actual documented observation. King Wan would become weary after sunset and get in his night clothes. Thus, as the night wore on and the sun stayed at the sunset position for 12 hous, and the planets appear in Fang/Scorpius, then the sun rose a little in the west, and the six day moon stayed above, he dreamt he was clothed with the sun and moon. The rest of the observation appears as an actual documented observation. God has angels. Phoenixes are angels.
Bernard and Ira may not fully appreciate how profound this record of king Wan's dream is and how directly it relates to Joshua's long day and God moving the sun by his angels the phoenixes. If I can at least please God. That is my main ambition.
This is a prime example of how NASA can deny even the very evidence for Joshua's long day.
Stephen Hawking stated the only thing God did was to turn the switch to cause the Big Bang moment of creation. And then was never involved in creation after that.
Stephen Hawking, in A Brief History of Time, concludes "The sun and moon might still be gods, but they were gods who obeyed strict laws, apparently without any exceptions, if we discount stories like that of the sun stopping for Joshua." Thus, God did much more than cause the moment of creation.
Science cannot discount the history and the model that fits it. Science cannot explain the sun standing still or setting/rising suddenly or yet moving backwards even backwards suddenly or earth in a reverse orbit and 48 hours less a year or Jupiter and Saturn orbiting the earth twice a year in earth's reverse orbit! Two Saturn and Jupiter orbits a year to appear normal because orbit is against rotation. Science cannot explain the abundant independent history of long days and long nights, short days and short nights from around the world.
"Chinese scientists call for cooperation against asteroid threat" NASA has an asteroid defense program. This is all wasted money. God will not allow an asteroid to destroy earth. And when God does send an asteroid or comet, there will be nothing man can do about it.
The search for life in space is also a waste of money. Only God can create life.
NASA says earth is over due for a dinosaur killing asteroid. NASA is searching for extraterrestrial life. None of this will happen because only God can create life and because God is in control. People will believe anything except what is right. People really need more faith.
The force to move the sun around the earth is about the force of a super nova. A super nova expands at about 10% of the speed of light. A new super nova Fast-Evolving Luminous Transients (FELTs) has been found that expands 10 times faster: 10 X 10% = 100% = near the speed of light.
For the sun to move with earth's rotation, the sun must move 1/30th the speed of light = 3% the speed of light. For the sun to travel west to east, the sun must move 1/15 the speed of light, about 10% of the speed of light. For the sun to travel so fast the sun appears dark, as when Jesus was on the cross, the sun must travel about 99.9999% of the speed of light.
Here is a picture of the sun. It would take one million earth's to fill the sun. When God moved the sun to the other side of earth, that would mean earth would see the other side of the sun. One drawing of the sky in Bible times depicts a human face in the sun. The Angel of the Lord or the King may have been visible to China on the first Hanukkah.
Do not look at the sun! Even for a second! It will cause permanent eye damage! Get a proper solar telescope or look through a solar telescope provided by an astronomy club!
James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen."
That he saw a deity may have been he saw the angel at the sun move the sun, perhaps on the day of Pentecost Sunday May 11, 165 BC. Hanukkah was December 12, 164 BC when the sun rose to the meridian in China twice in one day.
"Emperor Wen of Han, 15th year of the Qianyuan reign period, in spring. Within the sun there was the character wang (king)."
East Asian Archaeology, p.152.
"Many church leaders allowed themselves to be persuaded by the Aristotelians at the universities that the geocentric (Earth-centered) system was taught in Scripture and that Galileo was contradicting the Bible." They opposed Galileo because they thought Joshua 10:12 did not make sense if earth orbits the sun. If the sun stood still "from the half of heaven", revolving around the earth to the other half to appear to stand still in the sky from our spinning earth, Joshua 10:13 does make sense and is not an error.
If you were on the earth and the night before it looked like the earth was rotating and the stars rotating into and out of view and every day saw the sun also rotate into and out of view, you may think earth was rotating. Then, if you saw the sun not pass east to west like the stars and like usual, you might think God had moved the sun.
Joshua who wrote this would realize the sun had moved to the other half of heaven while earth was rotating for stars from the other half of heaven to appear that night.
Joshua asked God to make the sun stop in the sky. The sun rising in the west and passing west to east means the sun was moving when Joshua asked God to stop the sun. Thus, Joshua was right to ask God to stop the sun, because God was already moving the sun.
Then perhaps God was moving the sun at 40 million miles per hour west to east, and God made the sun to stop, stand still, in the sky by slowing this west to east movement to 20 million miles per hour for the sun to stand still in the sky. Then after 24 hours God must continue to move the sun west to east, to set in the east in the six hours from the noon position to the dawn, and predawn position - about the 3 AM position.
God did move the sun west to east across the whole sky = 10 hours on a sun dial, for a sign to King Hezekiah.
Then God must move the sun east to west at about 20 million miles per hour, or perhaps very suddenly and at more then 40 million miles per hour, to suddenly and brilliantly rise in the east, just as God must make the sun to suddenly rise in the east on the first day of the week for Jesus' resurrection.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Most people know earth orbits the sun. Most people know the sun rises because the earth rotates. Those who wrote the Bible knew God moved the sun on specific days and years to foretell the coming of Jesus. See Psalm 19.
Galileo is quoted:
"Now if the day depends not on the sun's motion, but on that of the Prime Mobile, who can fail to see that in order to prolong the day it is necessary to stop the Prime Mobile, and not the sun? ... It being therefore absolutely impossible, in the arrangement of Ptolemy and Aristotle, to stop the motion of the sun and to lengthen the day, as the Scripture affirms to have happened."
Drake, S. 1978. Galileo at Work - His Scientific Biography. P.228.
Galileo's argument completely fails. He argued the sun is already at rest. However, if the sun is moved around the earth with earth's rotation, it will appear to stand still in the sky. And the sun will move against the stars. The earth is the "Prime Mobile" = the earth continued to rotate. To make a cross you have go against the grain. To move the sun and let earth revolve in reverse goes against the grain of today's science. The reverse orbit of earth goes against the asteroids causing meteor showers when there were sun miracles.
Cardinal Bellarmine disagreed with Galileo: "I say that if a real proof be found that the sun is fixed and does not revolve round the earth, but the earth round the sun, then it will be necessary, very carefully, to proceed to the explanation of the passages of Scripture which appear to be contrary, and we should rather say that we have misunderstood these than pronounce that to be false which is demonstrated."
He quoted Augustine 354-430 AD: "That if it happens that the authority of sacred scripture is set in opposition to clear and certain reasoning, this must mean that the person who interprets Scripture does not understand it correctly. It is not the meaning of Scripture that is opposed to the truth but the meaning that the interpreter has tried to give it"
Epistula 143, N7, PL33, col. 588
"Augustine, argued that the passage of time was independent of the motion of the heavenly bodies; if the sun and moon stood still in the heavens, a potter's wheel would still whirl around, unabated." - Earth still whirled around, the sun moved around the earth to appear to stand still in the sky.
"The mistakes are not in the revelation of God, but are in the misinterpretations of man."
The Big Book of Bible Difficulties, p. 15.
The trial of Galileo has often been hailed as the beginning of the separation of science and religion, church and state and the beginnings of a better world. However, nothing could be further from the truth. To wholly follow the teachings of Jesus does make for a better world now and in the time to come.
The late pope John Paul II 's pardoning of Galileo on October 31, 1992 needs to be reconsidered considering the evidence presented here.
The interpretation of the Bible presented here is that God moved the sun around the earth with earth's rotation in order to make the sun stand still in the sky for 12 or 24 hours.
The objection of the Catholic Church was how Joshua asked God to stop the sun in the sky if the sun was not moving?
In Galileo's trial the catholic church upheld the Bible as the infallible word of God. The thing is to follow the word of God, and none of the churches you think of as churches do.
We who meet in the home and follow Jesus' homeless ministry are blessed with the spirit of Christ.
Joshua 3:14 "And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;"
Joshua 6:4 "And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets."
"The ark is known in Hebrew as the aron kodesh ("holy ark") by the Ashkenazim and as the hekhál ("holy place") among most Sefardim."

10: The energy disposal problem:
"The excess energy produced by Velikovsky's sequence of orbits..enough energy to melt all three planets - Mars, Venus and Mercury - several times over."
Energy put into the system has to be taken out. The energy to move the sun instantly is much more than to move these three planets. Nevertheless, disposing of excess energy does not have to be that hard.
9: "Orbit of Venus CANNOT circularize on Velikovsky's time scale..electromagnetism is no panacea and chaos theory cannot save this phenomenon.."
Control of all five visible planets is recorded by the Chinese many times. Sometimes the planets are moved exactly 180°, sometimes they are simply moved out of the way of the sun. Nevertheless, the control is complete and specific.
8: "Circular, resonant orbits of the moons of Earth and Mars betray no sign of recent disturbance."
If God were to move the planets back to where they would have been, smart like, there would be no way of telling.
7: "Since close encounters drastically increase inclination, the small inclinations of the orbits of Venus and Mars belie the multiple near-collisions outlined by Velikovsky." Close encounters are not needed. Sure gravity from a close encounter can effect the other planet fairly evenly by gravity, there is no need. God would not need to move other planets to do his work on the earth. Yes, earth going in the reverse direction would result in head on collisions of asteroids. "Stars falling" at the time of sun miracles are frequently recorded.
6: "The debris Venus allegedly deposited in Earth's atmosphere causing 40 years of darkness after the Exodus left no trace in the world's ice caps or ocean bottoms."
There was a collapse of civilizations in the Middle East about 20 years after the Exodus, mostly caused by the destruction of Egypt in Exodus and weakness to fend off subsequent invasions by the Sea Peoples. There was a sun miracle of three days of darkness before the Exodus. But there does not need be physical evidence left behind.
5: "The bristlecone pine survived the global catastrophe at 3500 BP (1550 BC) that Velikovsky claimed killed all trees."
There were fires connected with Yao's ten suns in 2315 BC, and about the same time as the legend of Phaethon in Greece. There are cycles of fires and drought of 500 years. So records of forest fires are common enough to not especially stand out in specific regions.
4: "The continuity of flora and fauna on islands such as Hawaii shows they were not overrun by globe-girding tidal waves at 3500 BP (1550 BC) when the Sun stood still for Joshua, as Velikovsky claimed, an illusion produced by a post-perihelion comet passing Earth, as Bob Kobres explained for Phaethon;"
God moving the Sun, smart like, around the earth, would only leave the gravity of normal solar and lunar tides = to the day the tides would normally occur. Thus, no tidal waves.
3: "The year was not 360 days between 3500 BP (1550 BC) and 2700 BP (700 BC), as Velikovsky claimed, because at 3200 BP (1200 BC) the Chinese reckoned the summer solstice recurred 548 days after the winter solstice, ie, 365.25 X 1.5 = 547.875"
There was a 60 base counting system in Babylon, 360° completed a whole circle. But 360 days did not complete a whole year. Moving the Sun around the Earth meant God speeding up Earth's orbit 48 hours a day to keep 365 days a year. Everything continued as normal days and years.
2: "Magellan images of Venus reveal a crust too thick to have been molten 3500 BP (1550 BC) years ago, and if the 900 large craters on Venus were so young then Earth would be expected to have more than the 20 craters of comparable size it does have."
If God were to move the Sun to make it appear to stand still on earth, He would not need to move Venus to do his handy work for him.
1: "Since Venus is too massive EVER to have had a VISIBLE tail, cometary behaviour ascribed to the DEITY Inanna-Ishtar applies NOT to PLANET Venus, as Velikovksy and such naive epigoni as Dwardu Cardona, Cochrane (a close cousin in my Bennett Y-DNA tree) Dave Talbot (another cousin) Lewis Greenberg (probably a Jewish cousin) and Lynn Rose (also a close cousin to Bennett) claim.
God would not need Venus to do his handy work for him.
0: "The revised chronology fares no better because the 10th century BC, where Velikovsky places (1500 BC) the XVIII Dynasty (18th dynasty) Pharaohs coeval with the Minoan eruption of Thera, contains no signal for this eruption,"
A radio carbon date from an olive tree buried in the lava places the eruption about 1627 BC. Other date is 1659 BC, in Ahmose I's 22nd year. The beginning of the 18th dynasty of Ahmose I then may be 1681 BC. The Pharaohs date 76 years ealier = Ahmose I 1627 BC back from 1550 BC, and a further 50 years, according to the correction of the Egyptian calendar given on this page. The same 76 year earlier correction applies to Pharaoh Sheshenq = the fifth year of Rehoboam to 1000 BC from 925 BC.
"Scientists expressed significant doubts about the reality of such catastrophes in historical times, but the greatest sticking point was his mechanism for their occurrence."
The Pseudo-Science Wars, p.5.
Here is the real mechanism, God moved the sun around the earth. Everything works perfectly.
"And we can firmly reject any contribution of religion to modern science."
Faith vs Science. p.216.
This webpage directly contributes an enormous amount to science in the extreme physics God used in moving the sun around the earth and earth flowing into, and then out of a reverse orbt.
George McCready Price supported the Flood geology and a young earth. Earth is billions of years old. That is not a problem. However, God moved the sun around the earth many times in Old Testament days, and in Jesus' day. You can see the same sun miracles in Noah's flood.
"the Deluge "was not, in my understanding, a mere tidal wave; the water came from the space and I shall give close details on the origin of the water."
Patten to Velikovsky, The Pseudo-Science Wars, p.149.
There was a flash flood that filled the Aral Sea Basin many feet upward, and it was written the flood would be "very dangerous" because the water rose so fast and the ground was so flat and there was no place to go. So soon after the ice age, there were alot of glaciers. And these glaciers melted fast adding to the volume of water. The geology dates this flood to about the middle of the fourth millenium BC = 3307 BC. That in itself may very well prove Noah's Flood.
Genesis 7:20 "Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered."
15 cubits = 25 feet = the amount one may expect from a flash flood, and deep enough and sudden enough to drown every body and everything for many miles around.
Luke 17:26 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
Jesus said:
Mark 4:21 "And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come abroad."
The evidence presented in this research backs up the Missing Day Story. NASA's response to the Missing Day Story from the NASA Public Affairs office in Washington: "There is no truth to the recurring story that NASA uncovered a lost day in the movement of the Earth." NASA may not have discovered Joshua's long day, but I certainly have. The truth is obvious. Earth has gone into and out of reverse orbits many many times directly influencing the movement of the earth. Perhaps these sun movements have been discovered here for the first time. I thank God and Jesus for allowing me to use these sun miracles to point to Jesus, perhaps as God had intended.
See Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed.
NASA's conclusion: "In general, trying to prove events that are said to have occurred in the Bible, using scientific principles, doesn't work." However, this model does work to prove many biblical events and give their exact dates and provides the material evidence NASA is looking for.
Until geological traces of sun movements are found, this research is still metaphysics. Nevertheless, the research and the model is thorough. God moved the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit for one or two years at a time. Of that there can be no doubt.
"Upon examining the tree-ring record, Baillie noticed indications of severe environmental downturns around 2354 BC, 1628 BC, 1159 BC and 208 BC.."
Mike Baillie
2354 BC would be about the time of the births of Jacob's sons. 1628 BC would be about the eruption of Thera, Santorini, in 1658 BC. 1159 BC would be about the 18th year of emperor Ching and the appearing of phoenixes in 1150 BC.
208 BC may be 207 BC and matches even hundreds before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. 207 BC would be the rise of emperor Liu Bang and the sun miracle 200 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC = the reason Liu Bang sent the astronomers to the four corners as emperor Yao did in 2315 BC to mark the four seasons for agriculture.
Only the year of 208 BC = 200 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC, is significant.
Liu Bang was born in 256 BC and died in 195 BC. Liu Bang would be 49 in 207 BC. From the Han empire in 203 BC are 4 X 49 years to Jesus' birth in 7 BC.
"Also involved were the questions about what the Christian (and Jewish) Bible teaches in this area: does a passage like Joshua 10:12 - 15 (in which Joshua commands the sun to stand still) favor the Ptolemaic (or Tychonic) system over the Copernician."
Where the Conflict Really Lies, Evolution and Christian Beliefs. p. 7.
"In this way I can aquire a defeater for a belief I held on the basis of scriptural teaching; part of what I come to see is that the belief in question isn't really scriptural teaching."
Where the Conflict Really Lies, Defeaters? p. 187.
There is no defeater here. God moving the sun answers all questions, even the doubts about Joshua 10:12-15.
"My conclusion, therefore, is that there is a superficial conflict but deep concord between science and theistic belief...there is indeed a science/religion conflict, all right, but it is not between science and theistic religion: it is between science and naturalism. That's where the confict really lies."
Where the Conflict Really Lies, Defeaters? p. 350.
"Whatever happened with the sun and moon may remain a mystery forever."
The Story of God Bible Commentary. Joshua. p.232
Likewise, we now may know what happened, and it may now not be a mystery.
Living things from years BC may hold data on these exact dates. Some olive trees in Gethsemane are over 2000 years old. A recent sponge found in Hawaii is over 2300 years old. Some trees are more than 5000 years old.
Nevertheless the sun miracle of Yao, the sun standing still for ten days about April 1, 2315 BC, can be matched to the seven years of plenty in Egypt from 2315 BC to 2308 BC = the seven years of famine from 2308 BC to 2302 BC. The unicorn, angel of the sun, in Yao's seventh year, can be matched to the seven years of drought in Egypt, to a dust layer in Ice cores from mount Kilimanjaro in 2300 BC.
The low Nile can be matched to the engraving of famished men coming into Egypt for bread during the reign of Pharaoh Unas. The sun miracle of Yao also matches the fulfillment of the second dream of Joseph in Genesis 37.
There was a 200 year drought from about 2300 BC, 4200 years before 1950 = 2250 BC:
"Changing wind and ocean currents caused the horrific 4.200 kilo year BP (Before Present) aridification event. The drought hit North Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and China."
Ancient Iraq. p.21.
Man can tell you the weather, and when the sun rises. But he cannot tell you the date of death.
Eventually science will uncover this very same model.
That God moved the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun, many many times, is opposite to man's belief earth has always orbited the sun the same way. The fact is the reverse orbit, and God's skill.
Some 4.6 billion years ago the swirling debris that became planets started orbiting the sun counter clockwise. They could just as easily started orbiting the sun clockwise. To make a planet orbit the opposite way would take a considerable force. The other way, God moving the sun to the other side of earth and earth flowing into a reverse orbit, would take enormous force and skill. God could repeat this mechanism many times.
This is truly going against the grain. Against the grain of human reasoning; both that the sun is at the center of the solar system and does not move, and that the earth has always orbited the sun in the same counterclockwise motion uninterrupted for billions of years.
Here you see everything spelled out for you!
Hindsight is 20 20. These sun miracles pointed people to Jesus in the Old Testament. Nevertheless, we have the Old Testament to point us also to Christ. If God wanted us to know something important he would make a way to do that. This is just my effort, a sincere and honest effort, to point to Jesus.
There will not be another model or chronology. You may look for another, but you will not find it.
The model of God moving the sun to the other side of the earth and the earth flowing into and out of a reverse orbit. The world chronology corrected many times over thousands of years and often dated by sun miracles pointing to Jesus.
You may be divided in what you believe.
Please accept this effort to point to Jesus, perhaps as God intended.
John 10:35 "If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"
Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Galileo got in trouble for stating the sun did not stand still in the sky for Joshua because he discovered the sun is already standing still and it is the earth that is rotating. He missed the solution: God moved the sun with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky while earth continued to rotate. This model gives the very evidence that God moved the sun around the earth for Joshua. What was the main scientific objection to the Bible has been proved true. What was thought to be the weak part of the Bible is proven to be the strong part.
The belief the sun has never moved is an opposition of science. That God moved the sun to the other side of earth, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit of the sun is fact. Theory that is proven, and is abundantly proven, is fact.
The most important part of sun miracles is God's effort to point to Jesus.
This page proves beyond any reasonable doubt God's word is absolutely true. And that only the Creator could move the sun with abundant written records that exactly fit this model and not leave any geological trace.
This is the exact model that matches many exact dates and measurements and leaves no physical evidence. Not even any missing time.
Science deals with things we can see and touch, Christianity deals with things we can see and handle and feel spiritually, a Christian life lived, and prepares people for a saved eternity in Heaven. Christianity deals with the latter, science with the former. Christianity is taken on faith. Nevertheless, the abundant evidence on this page should interest the reader to come follow the lowly Jesus.
Luke 24:39 "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
"Belive me, if the Bible had ever been shown to be a rich source of scientific answers and understanding, we would be mining it daily for cosmic discovery."
Death by a Black Hole, by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, p.352
God moving the sun around the earth is a rich source of scientific answers and understanding.
1 John 1:5 "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
1 John 1:7" But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
NASA states at the bottom of their page "Questions on this topic are no longer responded to by the "Ask an Astrophysicist" service." If you have any questions ask me, Andrew Bennett: sunnyokanagan@telus.net I will respect any wish for privacy.
Some confidently say God will not move the sun again. I would not be so sure.
Acts 2:20 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:"
This analysis is not intended as dogma. Miracles of the sun may be found in and explained by the Bible, and all sun miracles may only be explained by God's power. This webpage is as factual as I am able to do the research. Prove it for yourself.
Numbers do not lie. Some say we do not know yet how God made the sun stand still in the sky. The model here is sure, we do now know.
Nevertheless, we do not know the physics God used to move the sun. Gravity can pull equally on any mass. The earth was sped up also. The earth could be pulled by gravity too. Yet we do not know how God moved the sun and the earth. And then there is the precise skill in moving the sun and earth. Some things we do not know.
The phrase "just joshing" may refer to the impossibility of Joshua's command to make the sun stand still.
God went to great lengths to move the sun on dates 100's of years before Jesus' birth and 100's of years before Jesus' crucifixion. When God set his plan in motion, he set earth in motion. Thus, God probably planned details like the full moon on the 14th lunar day that would become the Passover and these patterns of dates of sun miracles pointing to Jesus. Even the constellation Orion, the seven stars of the Big Dipper and Arcturus, the Sothis cycle from Sirius. Every detail was likely planned from the beginning.
Everything revolves around Jesus, not us.
Likewise the 50th jubile, from the year of Joshua's long day in 1241 BC - with the gap of 70 years of captivity 591 BC - 521 BC, to September/October 29 AD began Jesus' three and a half year ministry, and the 49th year jubile, also from the year of Joshua's long day 1241 BC to April 3, 33 AD, marked Jesus' crucifixion.
Ephesians 3:9 "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
Adam born in year 700 (in the Septuagint) Armenian sothis (the first year of the Armenian Sothis 5368 BC = 5400 years to Jesus' sacrifice) 4668 BC.
Adam year 800, 4568 BC, 44th jubile from 4568 BC on 2368 BC when Jacob was 70 years old, to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD = 4600 years.
This same 4668 BC of Adam is 4672 BC, the sothis calendar backs up one day every four years.
From 4672 BC are 94 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus beginning his ministry on the jubile on Yom Kippur September 9, 29 AD, or October 7, 29 AD.
And from 4672 BC are 96 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
And from 4668 BC are 94 X 50 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Adam's death in year 930 = 19 X 49 year jubiles from 5372 BC to 4442 BC; or from 5358 BC 19 X 49 year cycles to 4427 BC. From 5358 BC are 110 X 49 year jubiles to Jesus' sacrfice April 3, 33 AD. 100 X 49 = 4900 years from 4868 BC to Jesus' sacrifice April 3, 33 AD.
Abraham born on the sun miracle the 17th day of the 7th month, October 18, 2607 BC at the autumn equinox, Isaac born 2507 BC perhaps on Pentecost on the 15th day of the third month, and Jesus born the same 17th day of the 7th month, September 12, 7 BC just 10 days before the autumn equinox.
The sojourn into Egypt April 1, 2307 BC = 2300 years to Jesus' birth. Yao/Joseph's long day = Pharaoh's birthday = April 1, 2315 BC was 7 days before the vernal equinox April 8, 2315 BC. 2307 / 128 = 18, 18 days from March 20 the vernal equinox in 2307 BC = April 8, 2307 BC = April 1, 2307 BC likewise 7 days before the vernal equinox. 1281 / 128 = 10, 10 days from March 20 is the vernal equinox March 30, 1281 BC.
Egyptian new years had backed up 430 years from 2737 BC = 430 / 4 = 107 days from July 16 to April 1, 2307 BC when Jacob's family sojourned into Egypt. Thus, the Exodus on the same day Friday, March 30, 1281 BC and Jesus' sacrifice about the same day, Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
Many many sun miracles with years ending in X68 BC or X07 BC to point in 100 years to Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC and his crucifixion April 3, 33 AD.
Also, years ending in X18 BC were X50 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
Even years ending in X45 BC point to Jesus' 38 years of life in reverse, darkness at noon the Passover 45 BC - 38 years = 7 BC. Years ending in 71 BC or 21 BC are 50 year jubiles to the beginning of Jesus' ministry on Yom Kippur, Friday, September 9, 29 AD or Friday, October 7, 29 AD.
Years ending in X31 BC are 38 years from years ending in X68 BC = X100 years to Jesus' sacrifice.
This is my best representation of God's effort to point us to his Son.
