Analysis of Biblical Chronological Systems: LXX, MT, and Enochian Dates
Introduction
This analysis compares the Creation dates from three chronological systems: the Book of Enoch, the Masoretic Text (MT), and the Septuagint (LXX). The Enochian dates of 3295 BC and 3390 BC will be compared with their MT and LXX equivalents.
Masoretic Text (MT) Chronology
Creation to Flood
Patriarch/Event | Lifespan (BC) | Years Lived | Key Events |
---|---|---|---|
Creation | 4121 – 4114 | 7 | Seven days of Creation as years |
Adam | 4114 – 3184 | 930 | |
Seth | 3984 – 3072 | 912 |
Septuagint (LXX) Chronology
Creation to Flood
Patriarch/Event | Lifespan (BC) | Years Lived | Begetting Age | Key Events |
---|---|---|---|---|
Creation | 5561 – 5554 | 7 | – | Seven days of Creation as years |
Adam | 5554 – 4624 | 930 | 230 | |
Seth | 5324 – 4412 | 912 | 205 |
Key Creation Dates
Three primary chronological systems with their Creation dates:
- LXX: 5561 BC
- MT: 4121 BC
- Enochian: 3390 BC (and 3296 BC, to be discussed later)
Variant Creation Dates
Due to two major chronological variables:
- Egyptian sojourn: 430 years vs. 215+215 years split between Egypt and Canaan
- Terah’s death (+60 years) related to Abraham’s call at age 75 (Acts 7)
This produces four possible Creation dates for each system:
LXX Variants (Year 1 of 7 years of Creation):
- 5561 BC → 5501 BC → 5346 BC → 5286 BC
- Intervals: 60 years → 155 years → 60 years
MT Variants (Year 1 of 7 years of Creation):
- 4181 BC → 4121 BC → 3966 BC → 3906 BC
- Intervals: 60 years → 155 years → 60 years
Key Observation:
- Consistent 1380-year span between LXX and MT systems
- Parallel pattern of intervals (60→155→60) in both systems
Enochian Reference Points:
3296 BC (for later discussion)
The Effects of Different Lengths of a Year on Biblical Theology as quoted from the Key of 23 document for reference purposes only:
Introduction
Most numbers in the Bible have symbolic meanings.
Cosmic Multiples of 23
Basic Conversions
- 23 lengthens to 25 “Priestly Years”
- 23 × 3 lengthens to 70 “Prophetic Years” of 360 days
Solar Year Synchronization
- Every 276 solar years (23 × 12):
- Accumulates 7 extra days
- Equals 280 prophetic years (360-day) plus 7 days
Long-term Corrections
- Every 12,420 years (276 × 45):
- Drop one week
- Yields precise solar year: 365.24219 days
- Equals 12,600 Prophetic years (360-day) with 44 weeks remaining
Mathematical Relationships
12,420 years = 12,600 prophetic years + 44 weeks
23 → 25 (Priestly Years)
69 (23 × 3) → 70 (Prophetic Years of 360 days)
276 (23 × 12) solar years = 280 prophetic years + 7 days
Creation Dates Analysis: LXX, MT, and Key Relationships
Initial Observations
- The 1380-year gap between LXX and MT chronologies is significant
- Key number 1656 (23 × 72) appears in different contexts:
- LXX: 1656 years from Creation to Noah’s birth
- MT: 1656 years from Creation to Flood
- SP: 1656 years from Creation to Noah’s death
Key Conversions of 1656
1656 can convert to:
- 1680 years (1656 × 70/69)
- 1800 years (1656 × 25/23)
Pattern Analysis in Creation Dates
Base Dates
LXX: 5561 → 5501 → 5346 → 5286 BC
MT: 4181 → 4121 → 3966 → 3906 BC
Important Observation
The purpose is not to determine the “true” date of creation. These dates represent theological constructs with fractal-like patterns.
Key Intervals
- First 1440-year span:
- 5561 BC → 4121 BC = 1440 years (4 × 360)
- Parallel 1440-year span (offset by 215 years):
- 5346 BC → 3906 BC = 1440 years (4 × 360)
Symbolic Significance
- 1440 years = 4 × 360 years
- Represents 4 “days” of Creation years (using prophetic 360-day years)
- 215-year offset appears intentional in the pattern
Calendar System Conversions and Patterns
Base Conversion: 1380 to 1400 Years
- Original gap between LXX and MT: 1380 years
- Conversion using 70/69 ratio: 1380 × 70/69 = 1400 years
- Result: 20-year expansion of intervals
Date Pairs Comparison
Original Pairs (1380 years apart)
- 5561 → 4181 BC
- 5501 → 4121 BC
- 5346 → 3966 BC
- 5286 → 3906 BC
Converted Pairs (1400 years apart)
- 5581 → 4181 BC
- 5521 → 4121 BC
- 5366 → 3966 BC
- 5306 → 3906 BC
Calendar System Integration
Prophetic Calendar (360-day year)
- Original span: 1440 years = 360 × 4
- Represents 4 “days” of prophetic years
Solar Calendar (365-day year)
- Expanded span: 1460 years = 365 × 4
- Maintains 4 “days” symbolism in solar years
Key Observations
- The 20-year expansion preserves chronological relationships
- Pattern maintains symbolic meaning across calendar systems
- Demonstrates intentional design in chronological structure
Significance
- The system elegantly bridges different calendar reckonings
- Preserves theological symbolism while accommodating different year lengths
- Shows the sophisticated mathematical framework underlying these chronologies
The Enochian Chronological System
Fundamental Structure
- Two Generation Lengths:
- 70 years (standard generation)
- 72 years (based on Precession: 25920/360 = 72)
- Epochal Division:
- Seven primary epochs + three additional
- Each generation represents one symbolic “day”
- Enoch’s birth after 6 “days”:
- 70 × 6 = 420 years
- 72 × 6 = 432 years
Integration with Biblical Systems
Evidence of Pattern Relationships
- Mathematical Compatibility:
- Enoch’s 70/72 year generations
- 1380-year LXX/MT gap
- 1656-year periods
- 60/120 year patterns
- Astronomical Integration:
- Based on Precession cycle
- Aligns with calendar patterns
Key Date Relationships (Example)
- 5406 BC to 2166 BC (Abraham) = 3240 years (9 × 360)
- 3966 BC to 2166 BC = 1800 years (5 × 360)
- 5406 BC to 1446 BC (Exodus) = 3960 years (11 × 360)
- 3966 BC to 1446 BC = 2520 years (7 × 360)
- 5406 BC to 6 BC (Christ) = 5400 years (15 × 360)
- 3966 BC to 6 BC = 3960 years (11 × 360)
Significant Calculations
- 5521 BC → 1 BC = 5520 years = 1380 × 4
- 5520 × 25/23 = 6000
- These relationships demonstrate systematic design in the chronological framework
Hypothesis
The Book of Enoch’s 70/72-year generational system appears to serve as a template for other chronological systems (LXX, MT, SP), as evidenced by their mathematical compatibility and astronomical alignments.
Integration of Enochian, MT, SP, and LXX Chronologies
Enochian Integration with MT and LXX
- Basic Relationships:
- 3390 BC → 3966 BC (MT) = 8 × 72 years (576)
- 3966 BC → 5406 BC (LXX) = 20 × 72 years (1440)
- Total span: 28 × 72 = 2016 = 6 × 336 (Priestly years)
- Expansion Pattern:
- Base calculation: 8 × 72 = 576
- With 1656 expansion (+144): 576 + 144 = 720 (10 × 72 or 2 × 360)
- Full expansion: 2016 + 144 = 2160 (6 × 360)
- Shows scaling from 6 × 336 to 6 × 360
SP Integration
Base Relationships
SP dates: 4481, 4421, 4266, 4206 BC
Intervals:
- LXX to SP: 3 × 360 years (1080 years)
- MT to SP: 360 years between key pairs
- 4481 → 4121 BC
- 4266 → 3906 BC
Expanded Relationships
- LXX to SP expansion: 1080 + 120 = 1200 years
- Further expansion: 1200 + 60 = 1260 years (half of 7 × 360)
- Verified in dates:
- 5681 BC – 1260 = 4421 BC
- 5466 BC – 1260 = 4206 BC
The 3366 BC Integration Point
The 70-year generation date (3366 BC) shows systematic integration:
- To MT:
- 3366 → 3906 BC = 540 years (1.5 × 360)
- 3366 → 3966 BC = 600 years (10 × 60)
- To SP:
- 3366 → 4266 BC = 900 years (2.5 × 360)
- To LXX:
- 3366 → 5346 BC = 1980 years (5.5 × 360)
This demonstrates comprehensive integration of all chronological systems through 360-based intervals.
Principles of Biblical Chronological Analysis
Individual and Integrated Study
While the three major manuscripts (LXX, MT, SP) integrate with the Enochian template, each requires independent study. The complexity of connections makes it crucial to:
- Study each system on its own terms
- Recognize divinely inspired patterns
- Focus on connections that manifest in biblical narratives
- Acknowledge the limits of human comprehension in fully grasping all possible relationships
Example: MT Internal Patterns (3966 BC)
- Creation to Exodus Pattern:
- 3966 BC → 1446 BC = 2520 years (7 × 360)
- Mirrors the 7 days of Creation
- Represents 7-year period as days
- Creation to Abraham Pattern:
- 3966 BC → 2166 BC = 1800 years (5 × 360)
- Abraham begins “Day 6” of larger Creation week
- Pattern continues to Joseph’s death (1805 BC)
- Concludes with Exodus (completion of 7 days)
- Jubilee Patterns:
- Jacob’s birth (2006 BC): 1960 years = 40 jubilees (4 × 490)
- Jacob’s life: 147 years = 3 jubilees
- Jacob’s death (1859 BC): 43rd jubilee from Creation
- Daniel’s Prophecy Connection:
- 3966 BC → 2006 BC (Jacob): 4 × 490
- 3966 BC → 536 BC (Exile return): 7 × 490 (3430 years)
- Links Creation, Patriarchs, Exile, and Prophecy
The Gospel Analogy
The relationship between these chronological systems parallels the Gospel accounts:
- Individual Integrity:
- Each manuscript tradition has unique patterns
- Each Gospel has distinct perspective
- Complementary Perspectives:
- Manuscripts reveal deeper patterns when compared
- Gospels provide fuller picture when studied together
- Unifying Framework:
- Enochian template unifies chronologies
- John’s Gospel provides theological framework
- Narrative Importance:
- Numbers gain meaning through biblical narrative
- Gospel accounts serve theological purposes
This analogy helps understand how to approach these chronological systems: respecting their individual integrity while recognizing their interconnected nature.
