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/EventLifespan (BC)Years LivedKey Events
Creation4121 – 41147Seven days of Creation as years
Adam4114 – 3184930
Seth3984 – 3072912

Septuagint (LXX) Chronology

Creation5561 – 55547Seven days of Creation as years
Adam5554 – 4624930230
Seth5324 – 4412912205

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:

  1. Egyptian sojourn: 430 years vs. 215+215 years split between Egypt and Canaan
  2. 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

  1. First 1440-year span:
  • 5561 BC → 4121 BC = 1440 years (4 × 360)
  1. 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

  1. The 20-year expansion preserves chronological relationships
  2. Pattern maintains symbolic meaning across calendar systems
  3. 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

  1. Two Generation Lengths:
  • 70 years (standard generation)
  • 72 years (based on Precession: 25920/360 = 72)
  1. 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

  1. Mathematical Compatibility:
  • Enoch’s 70/72 year generations
  • 1380-year LXX/MT gap
  • 1656-year periods
  • 60/120 year patterns
  1. 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

  1. 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)
  1. 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:

  1. To MT:
  • 3366 → 3906 BC = 540 years (1.5 × 360)
  • 3366 → 3966 BC = 600 years (10 × 60)
  1. To SP:
  • 3366 → 4266 BC = 900 years (2.5 × 360)
  1. 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)

  1. Creation to Exodus Pattern:
  • 3966 BC → 1446 BC = 2520 years (7 × 360)
  • Mirrors the 7 days of Creation
  • Represents 7-year period as days
  1. 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)
  1. 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
  1. 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:

  1. Individual Integrity:
  • Each manuscript tradition has unique patterns
  • Each Gospel has distinct perspective
  1. Complementary Perspectives:
  • Manuscripts reveal deeper patterns when compared
  • Gospels provide fuller picture when studied together
  1. Unifying Framework:
  • Enochian template unifies chronologies
  • John’s Gospel provides theological framework
  1. 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.

This chronological chart was originally published in the article “Enoch’s Prophecy of Seven 490-year Periods” at: https://1260d.com/2018/11/17/enochs-prophecy-of-seven-490-year-periods/
Important Update Note
The original chart has since been enhanced to include 72-year generations alongside the 70-year generations. Analysis suggests that the 72-year generations may represent the original chronological framework, with the 70-year generations being a later derivation from this base system.
