Introduction:

This discussion presents a comprehensive exploration of Enosh, the grandson of Adam, within biblical chronology, emphasizing the intricate numerical patterns and their symbolic significance. By examining both the Masoretic Text (MT) and the Septuagint (LXX) chronologies, we explore how Enosh’s life and the associated timeframes intersect with key events and figures such as Adam, Seth, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus Christ.

The study highlights the recurrence of significant biblical numbers—such as 7, 23, 40, 70, 230, 430, 490, 1260, 1290, and 14000—and their roles in linking Enosh to pivotal moments in redemptive history. We explore concepts like the “second creation” symbolized by Enosh’s seven-year “Creation Week,” the BC/AD mirror reflecting the fractal nature of biblical timelines, and the alignment of jubilee cycles from Enosh to the New Testament era.

Through this numerical and symbolic analysis, we aim to uncover deeper theological insights into God’s sovereign orchestration of history, the continuity of His redemptive plan, and the profound connections woven throughout the Scriptures. This raw record serves as a foundation for further study and invites readers to consider the rich tapestry of meaning embedded within the biblical chronology.

I am going to toss around some ideas that compare the cumulative with the regular chronologies, as displayed below. I need you to familiarize yourself with the two MT chronologies below. I also need to know if you are familiar with my studies regarding the “Key of 23”, which uses 70/69 and 25/23 to convert timespans? If so, explain it to me. ————————————— Biblical Cumulative Lifespans (‘Long’) Chronologies Comparing the Masoretic Text (MT), Samaritan Pentateuch (SP), and Septuagint (LXX) The ‘Long’ or ‘Cumulative’ method (two terms for the same approach) extends the timeline by adding the lifespans of each patriarch, from Adam to Moses, end-to-end. This approach differs from the traditional method, which marks the birth of each subsequent son to calculate the chronology. This alternative method provides a broader interpretive framework for understanding the genealogical data in Genesis 5 and 11. Comparing this against the regular method evinces patterns reliant on one another, revealing a sophisticated interaction between the two chronologies. These interconnected numeric patterns suggest deliberate theological messaging, underscoring the significance of cumulative chronologies in biblical scholarship. However, their study has been limited, often due to skepticism about schematic designs in ancient texts or doubts about the sophisticated mathematical capabilities of ancient scribes. MT (Masoretic Text): The traditional Hebrew text used as the basis for most modern Bible translations. SP (Samaritan Pentateuch): The text used by the Samaritan community differs from the MT in some details. LXX (Septuagint): The ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, which sometimes contains different numbers and an additional generation (Cainan) between Arphaxad and Shelah. Note: Dates are calculated backward from a fixed point, accumulating lifespans. The three-year spans reflect the difference between tracing the lineage through Moses or his older brother Aaron, both descendants of Levi (Exodus 6:16-20). This three-year difference extends back to Adam. The seven-year ‘Full Span’ incorporates this three-year span and adds a ±2 year range. This additional range is derived from textual details surrounding Shem’s age at the Flood and the birth of Arphaxad (Genesis 11:10). It reflects the implied age differences among Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Genesis 5:32, 9:24, 10:21). The textual ambiguity appears intentional, creating a seven-year span that echoes the seven days of Creation (Genesis 1-2:3). This provides a symbolic framework of seven-year periods.

The seven-year column is the result of the 3-year gap between Aaron and Moses, with the ±2 years due to the 2-year anomaly at Shem (2+3+2=7). 2. Aaron and Moses are brothers. Aaron is 3.5 years older than Moses. 3. If 2nd Cainan (as found in the LXX) is included, all dates from Cainan to Arphaxad, Shem, Noah, and Adam are shifted 460 years earlier, reflecting Cainan’s lifespan of 460 years. For example, Cainan’s 460 years span 4856–4396 BC, shifting Creation from 14006 BC to 14466 BC and the Flood from 4836–4829 BC to 5296–5289 BC. 4. The SP “120 yrs to the Flood” precisely aligns with the MT Flood (MT Flood: 4836-4829 to SP Flood: 4716-4709 BC), Gen. 6:3. Overlaying Shem’s 600 years in both chronologies reveals spans of 360 and 360 + 360, implying intentional design. Hence, the 120 may safely be included in chronologies, although omitted here. In the MT, the “120 yrs to the Flood” is precisely 70 x 7 x 7 yrs (3430 yrs) before Moses’ 120-yr lifespan, suggesting design based on 70 jubilees of 49 yrs, correlating with the LXX’s 4900 yrs from Shem to the Exodus. 5. The Exodus marks the ‘birth’ of Israel as a nation in 1446 BC. Below is the complete MT Cumulative (‘Long’) Chronology Table updated to include the optional 460 years of the 2nd Cainan as found in the Septuagint (LXX). The table now features additional columns showing the adjusted dates for each patriarch when the 2nd Cainan is included.

From Shelah onward, the dates remain unchanged because the additional 460 years have already been accounted for between Arphaxad and Shelah. Impact on Chronology: Adam to Arphaxad: Dates are shifted earlier by 460 years (higher BC numbers) due to the inclusion of Cainan’s 460-year lifespan. Shelah to Joshua: Dates remain the same as in the original chronology. Explanation of Shifts: Including the 2nd Cainan adds to the cumulative total from Adam to Shelah, causing the dates of earlier patriarchs to shift earlier. The lifespan of Cainan (460 years) is inserted between Arphaxad and Shelah, extending the timeline. Aaron and Moses: Their dates and lifespans remain unchanged, as they are beyond the point where the 460-year adjustment applies. Exodus Date: The Exodus remains at 1446 BC, marking the ‘birth’ of Israel as a nation. ————————————— Masoretic Text-“MT” “Years Lived,” Begetting Age,” and “Remaining Years” for the MT from Adam to Moses are at the end of this page.

The MT states the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years (1876-1446 BC), excluding time in Canaan or Haran. The LXX and SP include time in Canaan, reducing the timeline by 215 years for all dates from Adam to Israel’s entry into Egypt (1661-1446 BC). 2. All dates from Adam to Terah can be extended by 60 years due to the claim that Terah died the year Abraham left Haran and Ur (Acts 7).

As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, I am not familiar with your specific studies regarding the “Key of 23” that use the ratios 70/69 and 25/23 to convert timespans in biblical chronologies. This appears to be a specialized or personal framework that may not be widely recognized in mainstream biblical scholarship or published literature available up to my last update.

However, I am aware that numbers like 70 and 69 hold significant symbolic meaning in biblical texts, often relating to prophetic periods or genealogical chronologies. For example, the “Seventy Weeks” prophecy in the Book of Daniel is a well-known instance where the number 70 plays a crucial role. Similarly, adjustments in genealogical timelines and chronologies sometimes involve numerical patterns or symbolic numbers.

If you could provide more details or context about your “Key of 23” and how the ratios 70/69 and 25/23 are used in your studies, I’d be happy to help explain or discuss the concepts further.

Below is a brief overview for you to absorb: SYNOPSIS The effects of different lengths of a year on Biblical Theology Most numbers in the Bible have symbolic meanings. The number “twenty-three” in the Bible symbolizes reconciliation, but is much more than that. “23” is a cosmic tool God uses to slow or hasten “the appointed time,” Hab. 2:3. By “23,” God stretches or contracts the timeline, so His decrees remain true but with mercy. It’s God’s tool to “cut short” the days of evil or, if needed, to lengthen days of mercy. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, Matt: 24:22a; (Enoch 80:2) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance… as you look forward to the day of God and speed it’s coming. 2Pet. 3:9,12a “23” is the priestly tool that converts to “25” — “grace multiplied (5 x 5)”. It’s written into the cosmos. Multiples of “23” unify the sun, moon, and stars (including Venus, “the Morningstar”). Cosmic multiples of 23 23 lengthens to 25 “Priestly Years” 23 x 3 lengthens to 70 “Prophetic Years” of 360 days An excess of 7 days (one week) accumulates every 276 solar years (23 x 12) (280 x 360, plus 7 days = 276 solar years). For very long periods of time, the extra week is dropped every 12420 years (276 x 45) for a precise solar year of 365.24219 (4536308 days). 12420 years is 12600 Prophetic years of 360 days with 44 weeks remaining. 23 x 13 becomes 300 “Enochian Years” of 364 days R. +7.5 days — the exact length of Creation on Enoch’s calendar 23 x 17 becomes 403 “Lunar Years” of 12 moons 1495 (23 x 65) becomes 1496 “Egyptian Years” of 365 days (23 x 7) x (23 x 7) “One Year of Precession of the Equinox Venus (“The Morning Star”) is in rhythm with all of the above because Venus lags behind by almost exactly one week every 24 years (i.e., 15 cycles of Venus and 39 orbits). Thus, in 168 years, Venus lags by seven weeks, or in 360 years, 15 weeks. In 276 x 2 years, Venus lags 23 weeks. Thus, in 1656 years (23 x 72, the span from Creation to the Flood), Venus lags “69 weeks”, as per Daniel 9:24-27. Thus, in the above, the solar year converts to a Priestly year of 336 days, to a Prophetic year of 360, to the Enochian year of 364 days, to a lunar year of 12 moons, and to the Egyptian year of exactly 365 days. What they all have in common is the multiplier of 23. Doubtless, the ancients detected this commonality. For them, ’23’ resolved the mystery of time and unified the sun, moon, and stars. For information about the 336, 360, 364, and a lunar year, see: Part One: How the Solar 360 and 364-day calendar works Part Two: How the lunar calendars work in harmony with the solar Also, see The “Shmita” is at hand! Jew and Gentile “One New Man” Aug. 6, 2021. The significance of the number “23” extends beyond celestial movements. Among the five Lehmer numbers, three—276, 552, and 966—are notable for being multiples of 46 (23 x 2). Furthermore, the number 138 (46 x 3) also adheres to this pattern, intriguingly standing out as the smallest number that logarithmically leaps into this strange sequence, peaking at 179931895322. 23 binds all covenants together Twenty-three also binds the many covenants in the Bible, including demonic covenants, such as “in the days of Jarod” (Enoch 6). (See the chart: “Covenantal thread of multiples of 23 to the Exodus in 1446 BC“.) “23” stretches time like fabric and, like bricks, reshapes the biblical chronology into interlocking blocks. It tames irrational numbers, rounding them like rugged rocks from a quarry. In the righteous hand of the scribe, the twisted serpentine 23 transforms into a straight rod of rounded numbers such as 25, 70, 300, 490, 500, and 1800. It makes sense of it all; it brings order out of chaos. Hidden in plain sight Because 23 was associated with an elite priesthood, it was not meant for everyone to know. It was meant for priests and scribes, initiates into the Enochian tradition. As instructed, ‘the key of 23’ was hidden and sealed. And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; until many are taught, and knowledge is increased. Dan. 12:4 Brenton Septuagint Translation But how was it to be hidden and sealed? Apparently, priests and scribes took this command quite literally. They sealed it within the Bible itself. They veiled it within the many numeric lists and customized chronologies. It was so well hidden that after the dispersion of 70 AD, it was soon forgotten altogether. The author has concluded that those of old, both Babylonian and Hebrew, worked out the end of their era to be 6 and 1 BC. The internal evidence itself leads to this conclusion. However, most of what is said here remains true no matter what date is set for the Exodus or Christ.

Some may be coincidental, but indeed not all. There is only a small number of numeric prophecies in the Bible. Here is a list of numeric utterances with multiples of 23. 2300 (23 x 100) of Daniel 8 (expressed as “evenings and mornings”) 483 (23 x 21) of Daniel 9 (expressed as “69 weeks”) Prophecy of Dan. 9 is predicated upon the previous 69 years from 605 to 536 BC but is called “70 years”. ’69 = 70′; this is explained shortly “…the 1335th day” of Dan.12. The text does not say, “1335 days” but “touches upon the 1335th day”. In typical Book-of-Jubilees style, this means ‘1334 full days, plus part of the next. (1334 is 23 x 58) 1260 is already converted from 1242 (69 x 18) (Rev. 11:3; 12:6) Examples: from the Flood to 27/29 AD are 1242 x 2 yrs, which converts to either 2520 or 2700 yrs (= 7 and 7.5 x 360 — links the 40 days of Flood with 40 days of Christ in the wilderness? From Creation to 27 AD, are 23 x 180 & 60 x 69. And, from decree/return from exile in 538/7 BC to decree/return from exile in 1947/8 is also 1242 + 1242 yrs, or expanded to 574/3 BC of Ezek. 40.) More obscure examples: ‘Seven’ with 430 (437 = 23 x 19). (I.e., ‘7 + 390 + 40’ of Ezek. 3:16;4:4,6. See endnote.) Ezekiel began his symbolic siege of Judah on the 391st day. 391 (23 x 17) is often chronologically paired with 390. Example: It took one year for the earth’s destruction by water, but in one day, fire destroyed Sodom, which occurred 391 and 390 years later Note: Terah’s Extra 60 Years. To keep things simple, this article ignores Terah’s alternative extra 60 years. Here is an example that illustrates both Terah’s +60 and Ezekiel’s ‘7 + 390 + 40’: Arphaxad was born two years after the Flood and seven years after the death of Lamech (who died at 777). Isaac was born 390 years after Arphaxad and married at age 40. Thus, we have 7 + 390 + 40. With the alternative extra 60 years of Terah (Acts 7:2), 430 years become 490 years, making it 1274 years from Lamech’s birth. (364 x 3.5 = 1274, with Lamech’s son Noah born at 182, which is half of 364.) Without this extra 60 years, there would be 1274 years from Lamech to the marriage of Esau, son of Isaac, from 3240 BC to 1966 BC. See the chart for 3240 and 1966 BC (MT) = 1751 BC (LXX/SP/NT) to 1446 and 1406 BC. In the MT, Creation is pushed back 60 years to 4174 BC, with an implied seven years/days at creation (4181-4174 BC and 4121-4114 BC). From 4181-4174 BC to the seven years of Ezekiel’s symbolic and actual siege of Jerusalem from 593-586 BC, there are 3588 years. Multiplying 3588 by 25/23 gives 3900 years, which aligns with God’s command to Ezekiel to siege Jerusalem for 390 days, “A day for every year of their sin” (Ezekiel 4). New Testament examples “276” (23 x 12) of Acts 27:37. It appears that Paul includes this information and incidentals such as “Castor and Pollux” because he sensed that the shipwreck and deliverance was a real-life parable of the future of the world and God’s people. This is why the strange prophecy in Acts 27:31. Counting, measuring, and time often overlap in symbolism (Rev. 11:1-3) The “46 years” of temple construction There are precisely 100 priestly cycles in 46 years, which equals 50 priestly years They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” (John 2:20; also see John 8:57) John wrote the Book of Revelation and is no stranger to numeric symbolism, for example, the “153 fish” of John 21:11. “46 years”: The evidence for an intentional connection to 23 years is strong. There are 46 years (23 x 2) from the Exodus/tabernacle to when Israel rested from war (see chart). From this 46 years to the 46 years of John, it is 46 x 31 years. (‘1446/5 BC to 1400/1399 BC‘ unto ’20/19 BC to 27/28 AD’.) There are 1380 years from when the land rested from war unto Herod’s temple (1400/1399 to 20/19 BC). This is an important observation when the Seder Olam Rabbah is discussed later. Behold the Lamb of God! Thus, the Exodus to Christ converts from 1472 to 1600 years, that’s ’40 x 40′ to when Christ went into the desert 40 days, just as Israel did, “a day for each year of their sin,” Num. 14:34; Ezek. 4. (Also, see 3680 years from Jarod; converts to 4000.) Christ died three years after His announcement that He would raise a ruined temple in three days (John 2:20). Therefore, Christ died 49 years from when the temple began to be built, a jubilee that culminates in the 50th year. (46 converts to 50. John 8:57.) ———— Outline of Chapter Two: Chapter Two: How the priestly, lunar, 360, and 364-day years convert with 23 Covenants from Adam to Sinai thread together with multiples of 23 (Masoretic Text) Creating order out of chaos The logical outcomes of “23 = 25” 360-Calendar and “23 x 3 364-Calendar and “23 x 13″(299) 391 solar years equals “23 x 31” lunar years The Great Year of Precession is “49 x 23 x 23” The miracle of the 4th day of Creation “Residual 23” From 1406 BC to Christ Chapter Two: How the priestly, lunar, 360, and 364-day years convert with 23 Note: It cannot be stressed enough that it is the specific multiples of 23 that are important. For example, a burial place is purchased for Sarah for “400 shekels” (Gen. 23:15) — indicative of the prophesied “400 years in Egypt”. 1814 to 1446 BC is 368 and converts to 400 years — as explained next. Click here for the best-quality image About the above chart: To maintain the primal chronology, this article ignores the alternative extra 60 of Terah of Acts 7:2. At any rate, the date of Creation less the LXX/SP/NT of 215, plus the 60 of Terah as opted by some chronologers such as Bishop Usher, instead put the Conquest 2553 years after Creation. 2553 is 23 x 111 (69 x 37). And from Jarod, 23 x 91. From Lamech 23 x 73, and the Flood 23 x 39 (299 x 3). Thus, the 2303/1-BC-Flood can convert to 2306 BC according to the rules explained shortly. That’s 2300 to 6 and 1 BC. Moreover, this does not alter the 1380-year difference from LXX Creation that moves in tandem with MT, which in this case would be 5339 BC instead of 5494, and is (69 x 57) to Conquest with the birth of Seth 23 x 23 x 7. Covenants from Adam to Sinai thread together with multiples of 23 (Masoretic Text) In the below chart, calculate the number of internal combinations of multiples of 23-squared (excluding the LXX). (“23 x 23” and “23 x 23 x 2” both occurs twice, and “23 x 23 x 3” occur once.) Also, observe how often multiples of 13, 15, 17, and 19 occur internally. (We discuss the importance of these combinations later.) This underscores the fact that the appearance of multiples of 23 is not what’s important, but rather the specific multiples of 23 and where. Naturally, multiples of 23 can appear randomly. But the frequency and combinations of 23 exhibit intention. For example, 1656 to the Flood converts to 1800, thus 2300 to Shem’s death. It’s the weaving of specific 23’s with other cycles, such as generations of 40, 70, and 100, or with jubilees, etc., that’s ingenious. Note: Residual 23 that is discussed later. 460 to Jarod equals 500, and 69 x 6 to Lamech equals 420. However, ‘500 + 420’ in combination is 920, which in turn equals 1000 years — an important timespan in that it stems from Creation! From Lamech to when Israel rested from war is 80 x 23, which converts to 2000. Thus, 1000 + 2000 years from when God rested on the 7th day to when Israel rested from war! “A day is as a thousand years”, 2Pet. 3:8. 1446 BC is a pillar date — a new datum. 1446 BC less 46 years (46 = 50) becomes as 1396 BC, and thus 2990 (23 x 130) to 1406 BC, which converts again to 3000. (299 = 300). Residual 23’s take on a life of their own. Click this link to enlarge and for best quality Creating order out of chaos What if unruly numbers such as “276” (Acts 27:37) could transform into something identifiable such as ‘seven generations of 40 years, ‘four generations of 70’, or ‘three generations of 100 years’? In turn, numbers like 280 and 300 might form still larger blocks of time with acknowledged symbolic value — a code — a language. The ancients knew the language. Their lists and chronologies are the ancient equivalents of computer code. 23 regular solar years equal 8400 days with 23/40th of a day remaining (or rounded to 7/12th). And there are 8400 days in 25 priestly years Therefore 23 solar years can convert to 25 priestly years The small remainder of 23/40th (or 7/12th) of a day is accounted for within the conversion — as we shall demonstrate Example: “276” becomes 7 x 40 with exactly seven days remaining Example: 460 yrs from Creation to Jarod (when the angels transgressed) equals 1000 priestly cycles of 168 days, which is 500 Priestly years (Enoch 6:6) Their solar year was the same as our modern Gregorian of 365.2425 (See Part One: How the solar 360 and 364-day calendar works) Logical outcomes of “23 = 25” 360-Calendar and “23 x 3 Because three times “8400” equals 25200 days, this means that ‘3 x 23’ (69 years) is the same as 70 years on the 360 calendar (without leap months). 25200/360 = 70 Therefore 69 solar years can convert to 70 prophetic years on the 360-day calendar without its leap months (as well as the said 25 x 3 priestly years) The remainder, therefore, is 23/40th (or 7/12th) of a day times three Daniel 9:24-27 demonstrates this best and explains Ezra’s 12-day delay (Ezra 7:8;8:31) 23/40 x 21 (cycles of 23) = 12.075 days The Enoch year of 364 days also converts a multiple of 23 into a symbolic number. 364-Calendar and “23 x 13″(299) The Enoch calendar has a year of 364 days and four seasons of 13 weeks. Seven and thirteen have come to symbolize perfection and imperfection/curse, respectively. When combined, they depict reconciliation. The 23, in combination with the 13, maintains the symbolism. Unlike “23” and “60”, 299 is not the closest approach to an exact integer. Instead, 294 years is. 294 is six jubilees, and every 294 solar years, there is a surprisingly near-perfect integer of 293 (292.9999). This is likely why the Book of Jubilees (4:21) has Enoch in heaven for 294 years rather than just one as per the Book of Enoch (Enoch 81:6). Both books knew the rules but approached them differently. Example in MT: from Creation to the Exodus is 2668 years (4114 to 1446 BC). 2668/23 = 116. Because 23 converts to 25 Priestly years, thus 116 x 25 = 2900. “2900” plus the 40 years to the Conquest in 1406 BC equals 2940 years, which is 60 jubilees. 23 x 13 solar years (299) converts to 300 prophetic years on the 364-day calendar (without its leap weeks) The remainder is 23/40th (or 7/12th) of a day times 13. This equals the 7.5 days of Creation. (The switch from evening to morning in the calendar of Enoch creates the extra half-day) This explains why Enoch lived 365 instead of 364 years. 365 years of 364 days are 364 solar years. Thus, Enoch lived 300 (299) years after the birth of his son; 65 + 299 (300) = 364 (365), Gen. 5:21-23. The Book of Enoch also implies this, Enoch 81:6 It explains the two-year chronological oddity at the Flood with the 600 of both Noah and Shem: It allows the code also to read 299 x 2 And the 299 x 6 from Lamech to the Exodus becomes 5 x 360 years (with “437“ x 2 more to Creation, and “391“ x 2 to the Flood. We look at 391 and 437 next. So far, the uneven numbers 23, 69, and 299 can be converted to the even and rounded numbers 25, 70, and 300. (The “300” often appears as a flexible number within the Babylonian base 60 system.) So far, we have looked at the solar calendars. But what about the purely lunar year? The lunar year, unadjusted by leap months, is still used throughout the Arab world today. 391 solar years equals “23 x 31” lunar years It happens that 23 x 17 (391 solar years) equals almost precisely 403 (13 x 31) lunar years (without leap months). The ancients did not escape the notice of this astonishing fact, which will be explained in future documents (Gen. 11:13, 15). But for now, note that “17” is a sacred compound number. It is 7 + 10. (Moreover, 17 years has exactly 230 x 3³ days, less 7²/20² of a day.) And “13 x 31” of the lunar calendar is a cursed number. As said before, whenever 13 and 7 come together, it signifies redemption, a perfecting of the imperfect. And “23” is the priestly power that transforms chaos into order, the serpent into a rod –an essential function in Exile away from temple sacrifices. 23 x 17 solar years (391) can convert to 403 lunar years (or vice versa). (As explained, ’23 x 17′ also converts to the Priestly year.) 403 strictly lunar years = 142,809.93 days, which is almost exactly 391 solar years 365.2425 x 391 = 142,809.8175 days Actual difference between the two was nearly nil at around 4206 BC 142,800 days is also 17 x 8400 days, with ten days remaining — which, as we shall see, is linked to the Day of Atonement on the 10th day, Lev. 16:29 Therefore, because 17 x 8400 converts to 17 x 25 priestly years (i.e., 425 priestly years), the accursed lunar number of 403 (13 x 31) is tamed into 425 Example: From the Flood to the destruction of Sodom, 391 years For “403 years”, see Gen. 11:13, 15 391 is usually paired with 390 of Ezek. 4 (13 x 30), and for 437 (‘7 + 390 + 40’ of Ezek. 3:16;4:4,6), see endnote. The Great Year of Precession is “49 x 23 x 23” The ancients, including the Bible, recognized that a day was as a year and a year as a day (Ezek. 4). In a similar vein, every 72 years equaled a day of Precession. Thus, the Precession of the Equinox was rounded to 72 x 360 years, which is 25920 years. The entire span of 25920 years was considered a “Golden Year” or a “Great Year.” A jubilee in the Bible is 49 years (7 x 7). Like the jubilees of the Israelites, the Year of Jubilee is also the first year of the next cycle. It happens that 25921 years is 49 x 23 x 23, or 161-squared — a most powerful number! And without the “7/12th-of-a-day” remainder, 8400 x 49 x 23 days equals the 25920th year anyway (9466800/365.2425=25919.22 years.) The Great Year is most clearly seen in the Sumerian Tablets of Babylon and intersects with the Biblical chronology at numerous junctures. The miracle of the 4th day of Creation It is surprising that one number—number twenty-three—marvelously converts all wild numbers into rounded, tame, straightened numbers, like a serpent into a rod. 23 (23 x 1) years of the 336 Priestly-year 69 (23 x 3) of the 360 Prophetic-year 299 (23 x 13) of the 364 Enochian-year 345 (23 x 15) of Eclipse-year. Converts to 364 eclipse years. See endnote 391 (23 x 17) of the Lunar year of 354.367066 437 (23 x 19) cycle of Metonic lunar cal. See endnote 1495 (23 x 65) of the 365 Egyptian-year 25920/1 (23² x 7²) years of Precession of the Equinox converts to “The Great Year” That 23² x 7² (161²) marks the start of a jubilee at the very end of a “Great Year” evidently was noticed by the ancients as implied by the Sumerian Calendar, explained later Observations: These cycles show up independently in the Biblical chronology from Creation to the Exodus at least twice each. (This includes 25920/1 years from the Babylonian Flood date of 27366 BC to the Exodus/Tabernacle in 1446/5 BC, and thus 70 x 360 to Abraham in 2166 BC.) Interestingly, all seven multiples of 23 are odd numbers, and most are 46 years apart. All this is the product of the constraints of the sun, moon, and stars at Creation. And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. Gen. 1:14-19

Based on the information you’ve provided, your studies on the “Key of 23” focus on the symbolic and mathematical significance of the number 23 in biblical chronologies. Here’s an explanation of your framework:

Significance of the Number 23

In your research, the number 23 symbolizes reconciliation and serves as a cosmic tool used by God to adjust “the appointed time” (referencing Habakkuk 2:3). This adjustment mechanism allows for the stretching or contracting of timelines to fulfill divine purposes while extending mercy. The number 23 functions to either hasten or delay events, ensuring that prophetic declarations remain true while accommodating human repentance or the shortening of days of evil (as mentioned in Matthew 24:22 and 2 Peter 3:9,12).

Conversion Ratios: 25/23 and 70/69

You utilize specific ratios—25/23 and 70/69—to convert timespans in biblical chronologies, effectively aligning different calendrical systems and symbolic periods.

25/23 Ratio (Priestly Years Conversion):
- Concept: Converts solar years into “priestly years.”
- Calculation:
  - 23 solar years consist of approximately 8,400 days (23 years × 365.2425 days/year).
  - 25 priestly years are defined as years of 336 days each (25 years × 336 days/year = 8,400 days).
- Application: This ratio allows for the transformation of solar years into a priestly framework, facilitating the alignment of chronological events with priestly symbolism.
70/69 Ratio (Prophetic Years Conversion):
- Concept: Converts solar years into “prophetic years” of 360 days each.
- Calculation:
  - 69 solar years amount to approximately 25,206.73 days (69 years × 365.2425 days/year).
  - 70 prophetic years equal 25,200 days (70 years × 360 days/year).
- Application: This slight adjustment bridges the solar and prophetic calendars, aligning significant periods like Daniel’s “Seventy Weeks” prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27).

Cosmic and Calendrical Synchronization

Your framework suggests that multiples of 23 unify various celestial cycles and calendars:

Solar Year: 23 years relate to solar calculations.
Priestly Year: Converts 23 solar years to 25 priestly years (25/23 ratio).
Prophetic Year: Converts 69 solar years to 70 prophetic years (70/69 ratio).
Enochian Year: Multiplying 23 by 13 yields 299 years, which approximates 300 “Enochian years” of 364 days each.
Lunar Year: Multiplying 23 by 17 results in 391 solar years, which correspond to 403 lunar years of 12 lunar months each.
Precession of the Equinoxes: The Great Year is conceptualized as (23 × 7) × (23 × 7), integrating the number 23 into larger astronomical cycles.

Examples from Biblical Chronology

Flood to Exodus:
- The period from the Flood to the Exodus is structured around multiples of 23, aligning key events with priestly and prophetic symbolism.
Daniel’s Prophecies:
- The “2300 evenings and mornings” in Daniel 8:14 and the “Seventy Weeks” in Daniel 9:24-27 incorporate multiples of 23 and the 70/69 ratio to convey prophetic timelines.
Acts 27:37:
- The mention of 276 people aboard the ship (Acts 27:37) is interpreted as 23 × 12, symbolically connecting to the 12 tribes of Israel and the unification theme through 23.

Theological Implications

Reconciliation: The number 23 facilitates the harmonization of imperfect numbers (like 13) with sacred numbers (like 7), symbolizing redemption and order out of chaos.
Hidden Knowledge: The “Key of 23” is portrayed as esoteric wisdom intended for a priestly class, aligning with passages like Daniel 12:4 about sealed knowledge.
Divine Timing: By adjusting timelines using these ratios, prophetic events can be seen as occurring precisely according to divine plan, emphasizing God’s sovereignty over time.

Conclusion

Your “Key of 23” offers a mathematical and symbolic framework for interpreting biblical chronologies, highlighting how specific numbers and ratios are employed to align historical events with theological narratives. By using the ratios 25/23 and 70/69, you demonstrate a method by which ancient scribes might have synchronized various calendars and prophetic periods, reinforcing the unity and divine orchestration within the biblical timeline.

I am an expert in Biblical chronology and have written hundreds of articles about them. Most of what I write is not known in scholars, so no not expect to always recognize what I say. I am not interested in rehashing old ideas but in discovering new ones. Today, I wish to ponder the connections between Cumulative and Regular Chronologies. Today, I have chosen Seth and Enos for my study. Your job is to help me organize my thoughts and include any relevant scholarly information only if it is useful to my study. Also, supplying references where appropriate, such as Bible references, is helpful. To begin with, I need you to show in a table the Cumulative and Regular dates for Seth and Enos as supplied.

Certainly! Below is a table comparing the Cumulative and Regular dates for Seth and Enos based on the Masoretic Text (MT) as provided. This comparison will help visualize the differences and connections between the two chronologies.

Comparison of Cumulative and Regular Chronologies for Seth and Enos (MT)

Patriarch	Cumulative Dates<br>(3-year Gap of Aaron/Moses, BC)	Cumulative Dates<br>(7-year Span, BC)	Regular Dates<br>(Lifespan, BC)	Lifespan<br>(Years)
Adam	14009 – 14006	14011 – 14004	4114 – 3184	930
Seth	13079 – 13076	13081 – 13074	3984 – 3072	912
Enos	12167 – 12164	12169 – 12162	3879 – 2974	905

Explanation of Columns:

Cumulative Dates (3-year Gap of Aaron/Moses, BC):
- These dates are calculated by adding the lifespans of each patriarch cumulatively from Adam onwards, incorporating a 3-year gap corresponding to the age difference between Aaron and Moses (Exodus 6:16-20).
Cumulative Dates (7-year Span, BC):
- This includes the 3-year gap and adds a ±2-year range to account for textual ambiguities regarding Shem’s age at the Flood and the birth of Arphaxad (Genesis 11:10). This creates a 7-year symbolic framework, echoing the seven days of Creation (Genesis 1-2:3).
Regular Dates (Lifespan, BC):
- These dates are based on the traditional method, using the ages at which each patriarch begat the next in line, without cumulative addition of lifespans.

Biblical References:

Seth:
- Birth of Seth: Genesis 4:25 – “And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth…”
- Age of Adam at Seth’s Birth: Genesis 5:3 – “Adam… begot a son in his own likeness… and named him Seth. After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years…”
Enos (Enosh):
- Birth of Enos: Genesis 4:26 – “And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh…”
- Age of Seth at Enos’s Birth: Genesis 5:6 – “Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh.”

Observations and Connections:

Difference in Starting Points:
- The Regular Chronology begins with the creation date of 4114 BC for Adam, while the Cumulative Chronology starts much earlier at 14009 BC due to the additive nature of lifespans.
Symbolic Numbers:
- The Cumulative Chronology extends the timeline significantly, introducing symbolic numbers and spans, such as the 7-year span, reflecting creation symbolism.
Aaron and Moses Gap:
- The inclusion of the 3-year gap corresponds to the age difference between Aaron and Moses, which is extended back to Adam in the cumulative calculations.
Textual Ambiguities:
- The ±2-year range in the cumulative dates accounts for uncertainties in the text regarding the ages of patriarchs, especially around the time of the Flood (Genesis 11:10).
Theological Significance:
- The cumulative method may emphasize the longevity and continuity of the patriarchs, underscoring theological themes of God’s enduring plan through generations.
Connection to the Number 23:
- While not directly mentioned for Seth and Enos, the broader framework involving the “Key of 23” suggests that these extended timelines might align with multiples of 23 or related symbolic numbers in your studies.

Further Thoughts for Consideration:

Alignment with Cosmic Cycles:
- Investigate how the lifespans and dates of Seth and Enos might align with cosmic or calendrical cycles, especially those involving the number 23, as per your “Key of 23” framework.
Comparative Analysis:
- Compare these dates with those in the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) and Septuagint (LXX) to see how variations might affect the overall chronology and symbolic meanings.
Integration with Theological Themes:
- Explore how the differences between the cumulative and regular chronologies might reflect theological emphases, such as the focus on reconciliation, divine timing, and the unfolding of God’s plan.

Relevant Biblical Passages for Deeper Study:

Genesis 5:
- The genealogies of Adam through Noah, providing the ages and lifespans of the patriarchs.
Exodus 6:16-20:
- Genealogy of Levi to Moses and Aaron, highlighting the 3-year age difference.
Genesis 11:10:
- Shem’s age after the Flood, introducing textual ambiguities that affect the cumulative calculations.

Conclusion:

By comparing the cumulative and regular dates for Seth and Enos, we observe significant differences in the timelines due to the methodologies used. The cumulative chronology extends the lifespans end-to-end, resulting in much earlier dates that may carry symbolic significance within your studies, especially concerning the “Key of 23.” The regular chronology provides a more straightforward genealogical timeline based on the ages at which each patriarch had their sons.

This comparison sets the foundation for further exploration of patterns, symbolic numbers, and theological themes connecting the two chronologies, particularly as they pertain to Seth and Enos in your research.

However, the Sumerian Tablets have eight kings who ruled from Creation to the Flood, whereas the Bible has ten — a perfect number. To make up for this shortfall, scribes added Adam and Seth, with Enos mystically representing the new man, using the meaning of their names as a clue–both Adam and Enos essentially mean, “man” with nuanced differences. It might even suggest a recreation to Enos, similar to that of the Sumerians.

2. Parallels Between Biblical Genealogies and the Sumerian King List

A. Overview of the Sumerian King List

The Sumerian King List is an ancient text recording the reigns of kings before and after a great flood.
It lists eight antediluvian (pre-flood) kings who ruled for extremely long periods, totaling tens of thousands of years.
These kings are considered semi-divine and their reigns symbolize a mythic era.

B. Biblical Genealogy from Adam to Noah

The Bible presents a genealogy in Genesis 5 that lists ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah.
These patriarchs also have exceptionally long lifespans, though shorter than those in the Sumerian list.
The ten patriarchs are:
1. Adam
2. Seth
3. Enosh (Enos)
4. Kenan
5. Mahalalel
6. Jared
7. Enoch
8. Methuselah
9. Lamech
10. Noah

C. Potential Connections and Interpretations

Numerical Significance
- Eight Kings vs. Ten Patriarchs:
  - The number eight in the Sumerian King List might symbolize completeness within their cultural context.
  - The Bible’s ten patriarchs often represent a sense of fullness or completion in biblical numerology.
  - Adding Adam and Seth could have been a deliberate choice to reach the symbolic number ten.
Addition of Adam and Seth
- Adam is the first human, created by God, foundational to the biblical narrative.
- Seth replaces Abel after his death (Genesis 4:25), ensuring the continuation of the godly lineage.
- Including Adam and Seth emphasizes the direct creation and appointment by God, contrasting with the semi-divine kings of the Sumerian list.
Enos as a Representation of a New Beginning
- Name Meaning:
  - Enos (Hebrew: אֱנוֹשׁ, Enosh) means “man” or “mortal,” emphasizing human frailty.
  - Adam (Hebrew: אָדָם, Adam) also means “man” or “human,” derived from “adamah” (ground), highlighting humanity’s earthly origin.
- Spiritual Significance:
  - Genesis 4:26 states, “Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.”
  - This suggests a renewal or revival in spiritual devotion, marking a new phase in humanity’s relationship with God.
  - Enos’s generation could symbolize a recreation or spiritual awakening, paralleling themes in the Sumerian tradition.
Scribal Intentions
- The inclusion and emphasis on certain figures may reflect the scribes’ theological goals.
- By structuring the genealogy to include ten patriarchs, the text conveys completeness and divine order.

3. Exploring the Meanings of the Names

Understanding the meanings of the names can provide insight into their roles and the theological messages conveyed.

Significance: Represents humanity as a whole; the first human created by God from the dust (Genesis 2:7).

Seth

Meaning: “Appointed” or “granted.”
Significance: Seen as the appointed successor to Abel, carrying on the righteous lineage (Genesis 4:25).

Enos (Enosh)

Meaning: “Man” or “mortal,” emphasizing human mortality and weakness.
Significance: His generation begins calling on the name of the LORD, indicating a shift towards organized worship or communal prayer (Genesis 4:26).

4. Theological Implications

A. Humanity’s Relationship with God

Adam represents the creation of humanity and the initial relationship with God.
Seth symbolizes hope and restoration after the tragedy of Abel’s death.
Enos marks a significant development in spiritual practice and communal worship.

Ten Patriarchs: Symbolizes completeness and the full span of antediluvian history.
Eight Kings: In the Sumerian context, eight may hold its own symbolic meaning, potentially representing a complete cycle.

C. Recreation and Renewal

The notion of a “new man” with Enos parallels themes of renewal found in other ancient Near Eastern texts.
The Bible may be emphasizing a spiritual recreation, where humanity begins to seek God more earnestly.

5. Possible Scribal Influences and Interpretations

A. Aligning with Cultural Contexts

The scribes might have been aware of Mesopotamian traditions and sought to present a counter-narrative that emphasizes monotheism and righteousness.
By structuring the genealogy differently, they could highlight the uniqueness of the Hebrew understanding of God and humanity.

B. Emphasis on Righteous Lineage

The inclusion of Adam and Seth underscores the direct connection to God’s creation and appointment.
The genealogy traces a lineage of faithfulness, culminating in Noah, who finds favor with God (Genesis 6:8).

6. Scholarly Perspectives

A. Comparative Studies

Scholars note similarities between the biblical genealogies and ancient Mesopotamian king lists, suggesting shared cultural motifs.
Both traditions use genealogies to convey theological and ideological messages.

B. Symbolic Lifespans

The long lifespans may not be literal but symbolic, representing virtue, closeness to the divine, or the idealized state of early humanity.
Decreasing lifespans after the flood could symbolize the increasing corruption and distance from the original creation.

C. Literary Structures

The genealogies may employ literary devices to aid in memorization and convey deeper meanings.
Patterns in ages, names, and the number of generations can reflect intentional design.

7. Relevant Biblical References

Genesis 4:25-26 (NKJV)

Genesis 4:25: “And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, ‘For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.'”
Genesis 4:26: “And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.”

Genesis 5:1-8

Details the genealogy from Adam through Seth to Enos, including their ages at significant life events.

8. Further Thoughts and Considerations

A. Exploring the “Key of 23”

While not explicitly mentioned for Seth and Enos, consider how their lifespans and positions might fit into your framework of the “Key of 23.”
Investigate whether the cumulative dates, especially when adjusted with the 2nd Cainan, align with multiples of 23 or related patterns.

B. Symbolic Parallels

Recreation Themes: Enos’s time as a period of renewed devotion mirrors the idea of recreation or a new beginning.
Human Mortality: Emphasizing mortality through Enos highlights humanity’s dependence on God, a theme present in both biblical and Mesopotamian texts.

C. Cultural Context

Understanding the broader ancient Near Eastern context can provide insights into why certain figures were included or emphasized.
The biblical authors may have been responding to or redefining existing narratives to convey their theological perspectives.

9. Conclusion

By comparing the cumulative and regular chronologies for Seth and Enos, and exploring their potential parallels with the Sumerian King List, we gain a deeper understanding of the biblical narrative’s structure and intentions. The inclusion of Adam and Seth to reach ten patriarchs could reflect a deliberate effort to convey completeness and emphasize key theological themes, such as creation, appointment by God, and the initiation of worship.

That was very helpful. Keep it up. Now we ponder numeric clues since that is my expertise. We observe that from Seth’s birth in 13079 – 13076 BC to Enos’ birth in 3879 BC, it is 9200 years. 9200 x 25/23 = 10000. Thus, 9200 converts to 10000 years. 10000 is regarded as a full age in the Book of Enoch, particularly in regard to the imprisonment of the Watcher-Angels who sinned. One might even say that, symbolically speaking, the time from Seth to his son Enos is 10,000 years (even though we are jumping from cumulative to Regular Chronology). Moreover, from Enos with the +2 to make 12166 BC, to Abraham’s birth in the regular chronology in 2166 BC, it is also 10000 regular years. This may suggest that both Enosh and Abraham were viewed as a new beginning in the affairs of man in regard to the worship of the Lord.

You mentioned the Book of Enoch’s “70 Generations”. This is correct, but elsewhere, it also states 10000, although possibly a textual variant. I mention this because from the Flood (4836-4829 BC) wherein the Nephilim were destroyed, that is, the giants, unto 1406-1399 BC, when the residue of the giants was again destroyed during the seven-year conquest of Canaan (to be precise, six years conquest, and the “and rests from war” the seventh year). 4836-4829 BC to 1406-1399 BC are precisely 3430 years, which is 70 generations of 49 years, that is, 70 jubilees to when the enter the Promised Land and the jubilees commence. 3430 years is also 7 x 490 (and 7 x 7 x 70) of Daniel 9. Daniel 9 was revealed to Daniel in 536 BC, about 70 years after going into exile to Babylon. 4836 BC of the Flood to 536 BC of the prophecy and return from exile is 4300 years (recalling the stay of 430 in Egypt, but this time in Babylon), and with the 600 years of Shem = 5436 BC (birth of Shem) to 536 BC = 4900 years (10 x 490 and 70 x 70 years). Thus, from Shem to 536 BC is 4900, when 490 was revealed to Daniel. Given the importance of seven in the Book of Enoch (and in the Book of Jubilees) and the Book of Daniel (ch. 9), we can assume that 70 generations, in this case, represent 4900 years. In this case, a generation is 70 years, and thus 70 x 70 = 4900 years. But “4900 years” also recognizes the 100-year generation because 4900 is also 100 jubilees, that is, a jubilee of generations of 100 years. I mention the 4900 years because its obvious pattern lends weight to the 10000 years previously mentioned. This is all the more true because in the days of Abraham, a generation to him was 100 years. We see this in the Covenant of Pieces, “4th generation” = “400 years” as promised until the sins of the Amorites are full. Abraham had his son at 100 years, 2166-2066 BC (a “generation”), and Abraham also lived 100 years after his call out of Ur at the age of 75 (2091-1991 BC). Hence, a generation to Abraham is 100 years. Thus, the said 10000 years to Abraham = 100 x 100 years, that is, 100 generations.

1 Enoch 10:12-14: God commands that the fallen angels (Watchers) be bound for 70 generations until the Day of Judgment.
Interpretation of Generations:
- If a generation is considered 70 years, then:
  - 70 generations×70 years/generation=4900 years70 \text{ generations} \times 70 \text{ years/generation} = 4900 \text{ years}70 generations×70 years/generation=4900 years
Alternative Reading:
- Some textual variants mention 10,000 years, emphasizing an indefinitely large period.

B. Connection to the Flood and Conquest

From the Flood to Conquest:
- 3430 Years: As previously calculated, could represent 70 generations of 49 years.
Symbolism:
- The 70 generations in Enoch may align with the 70 jubilees leading to the Conquest, symbolizing judgment and restoration.

6. The Significance of Jubilees and Generations

A. Jubilee Cycles

You mention the generational length of 40 years at the time of Moses and Joshua. 4836 BC with the 460 of 2nd Kenan = 5296 BC, and is 4000 years to the death of Joshua in Cumulative 1296 BC, and with the 600 of Shem = 5896 BC. 5896 BC to 1296 BC are 4600 years, suggesting a connection to the 460 of 2nd Kenan. Moreover, 460 x 25/23 = 500, adding 40 years more to 460, whereas 4600 x 25/23 = 5000 (half 10000), adding 400 more years. The extra 40 reminds us of the 40 years of wandering in the Wilderness, whereas the extra 400 years reminds us of the Covenant of Pieces in regard to the sins of the Amorites and the 4th generation. I mention this about the 4000 years to show a continuity of thought: 100 generations of 100 years to Abraham, who initiates generations of 100 years, and here from Shem to Moses and Joshua are again 100 generations of 40 years, this time because Moses and Joshua initialize generations of 40 years. The use of the three generations of 40, 70, and 100 years comes together in the full 12600 years from Adam to Moses’s death (14006-1406 BC) and then to John the Baptists or Christ’s conception/birth about 6 BC, 1400 years after that (1406 BC to 6 BC = 1400 years). 1400 is the lowest common multiple of 40, 70, and 100, and thus, 14006 BC is 14000 years to 6 BC, and is thus the lowest common multiple of 400, 700, and 1000. Thus, I agree with you that in the Bible, normally, a generation is considered to be 40, 70, or 100. But I would add that in the days before the Flood, when the life of man was 10x longer, a generation was also 10 longer, and thus, the said 400, 700, and 1000-year spans, with “14000” the lowest common multiple of all three.

You mentioned “14006 BC−2166 BC=11840 years.” Here is another example of merging generations of 40 and 100. From REgular Chronology 2166 BC of Abraham’s birth to Jacob’s birth in 2006 BC is 160 years and is an echo of the “4th generation” of the Covenant of Pieces, but here as 40 x 4. This is underscored by the 11840 years from Creation to Abraham because with this, 160 more years to the birth of Jacob in 2006, BC is 12000 years, which suggests the 12 tribes of Israel that would emerge from Jacob. (12000 is also 120 generations of 100 years and 300 of 40 years.) It might not even be a stretch to suggest that because 12000 to Jacob is 75 x 160, that the span of Abraham to his call out of Ur, and of his age when Jacob was born, is in view as well, which together multiplied indeed = 12000, just last the 100 years when Isaac was born multiplied by the 100 years from Abraha’s call out of Ur until is death is 10000 years. More examples like this can be displayed, and thus, it is unlikely mere random chance. Morever, the full span of the Cumulative Creation is 14011 BC to 2006 BC of Jacob’s birth, which is 12005 years. After that, Jacob lived 3 jubilees of 49 years (147). Similarly, 12005 years is 49 x 49 x 5, and suggests intentional alignment. Moreover, from 2006 BC of Jacob to 536 BC of Daniel 9 (and the “490 years” prophecy) = 490 x 3 years (1470 years), which is 10x the 147 years that Jacob lived. (147 years of Jacob overlaps the 1470 years to 536 BC.)

Significance:
- 160 Years is 40 years×440 \text{ years} \times 440 years×4.
- This echoes the “fourth generation” mentioned in the Covenant of the Pieces.
  - Genesis 15:13-16:
    - Verse 13: “Then He said to Abram, ‘Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.'”
    - Verse 16: “But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
- The use of 40-year generations emphasizes a significant period in the patriarchal narratives.

B. From Creation to Jacob’s Birth: 12000 Years

Cumulative Creation Date:
- Date: 14006 BC.
Jacob’s Birth:
- Date: 2006 BC.
Time Span:
- 14006 BC−2006 BC=12000 years14006 \text{ BC} – 2006 \text{ BC} = 12000 \text{ years}14006 BC−2006 BC=12000 years.
Significance:
- 12000 Years suggests:
  - 120 generations of 100 years:
    - 120 generations×100 years/generation=12000 years120 \text{ generations} \times 100 \text{ years/generation} = 12000 \text{ years}120 generations×100 years/generation=12000 years.
  - 300 generations of 40 years:
    - 300 generations×40 years/generation=12000 years300 \text{ generations} \times 40 \text{ years/generation} = 12000 \text{ years}300 generations×40 years/generation=12000 years.
- Symbolism of 12:
  - The number 12 is significant in biblical texts, often representing completeness or God’s people (e.g., 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles).
  - 12000 could symbolize the foundational period leading up to the establishment of the 12 tribes through Jacob.

C. Connection to Abraham’s Life and Call

Calculation of 12000 as 75×16075 \times 16075×160:
- 75 is the age at which Abraham was called out of Haran.
  - Genesis 12:4: “So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”
- 160 Years (from Abraham’s birth to Jacob’s birth):
  - 75×160=1200075 \times 160 = 1200075×160=12000.
Implications:
- This multiplication suggests that the key events in Abraham’s life (his age at the call and the birth of his grandson Jacob) are interconnected within the 12000-year framework.
- Highlights the importance of Abraham’s obedience and the continuation of the covenant through Isaac and Jacob.

D. From Abraham’s Call to His Death: 100 Years

Abraham’s Call:
- Age: 75 years.

You said “B. Numerical Significance 12005 as 49 × 49 × 5 49×49×5: 49 × 49 = 2401 49×49=2401.” That prompts me to also mention that the cumulative time from the Cumulative 4836 BC to the Cumulative birth of Abraham in 2435 BC is 2401 years (49 x 49). But I must move on to our main focus, which is Adam to Enosh. Yet, all we have studied in addition is useful because it shows consistency of interconnecting patterns, and thus, the 9200 and the 10000 years are unlikely random. ————– We saw that from Shem to 536 BC, there were 4900 (10 generations of 49 years, 7 x 7 – jubilee). This symbolizes divine order and perfection. However, 13 is the number of curse, such as the fact that Adam was 130 when Seth was born. Or even 2nd Caianan, who per the LXX was 130 when Shelah was born. It happens with the +460 of 2nd Cainan, from the Cumulative date of 13539-13536 BC of Seth to 539-536 BC ( IMP! 539-536 BC = the fall of Babylon, return from exile, and prophecy of Daniel 9-12) are 13000 years, which is 130 generations of 100 years, that is, a generation of 100 years for each of the 130 years of Adam to Seth. 4900 and 13000 are being contrasted in symbolism. We also observe the following: That is 92,000 years, as said between Seth Cumulative and Enosh Regular. However, if we reinsert 2nd Cainan back into the genealogy with his 460-year lifespan, we find that from Seth as 13539 BC to Enosh is 9660 years. 9660 x 70/69 = 9800 (4900 + 4900). 9800 is 200 jubilees in all, just as 10000 is 200 x 50, suggesting that both views of a jubilee as 49 and 50 at times are used. The 200 jubilees may well be a nod to the 200 Watchers that fell from heaven in the days of Jarod, one watcher for every jubilee?

- The juxtaposition underscores the tension between God’s plan and human disobedience throughout history.

4. Significance of the Jubilee Cycles

A. Jubilee of 49 and 50 Years

49-Year Cycle: Based on Leviticus 25:8-10, where the 50th year is the Year of Jubilee after seven cycles of seven years.
50-Year Cycle: Sometimes the Jubilee is considered the 50th year itself.

B. 9800 Years as 200 Jubilees

Calculation:
- 9800÷49=2009800 \div 49 = 2009800÷49=200 jubilees (using 49-year cycles).
- 9800÷50=1969800 \div 50 = 1969800÷50=196 jubilees (using 50-year cycles), but the symbolism focuses on 200 jubilees.
Implications:
- 200 Jubilees may symbolize a complete and extended period of restoration and redemption.
- Ties back to the 200 Watchers, possibly representing the need for restoration after their fall.

5. The Number 13 in Biblical Context

Please let me know if there’s any specific aspect you’d like to delve deeper into or if there’s anything else I can assist you with in your study.

You said:

In the previous response, you overlooked the exact span of 13000 years from Seth to the fall of Babylon, exactly (13539 BC to 539 BC), which needs emphasis. ————- Moving on… It’s important to observe that in the Cumulative Chronology, the span from the creation of Adam to his grandson, Enosh, both names have the same meaning, are 1842 years. With the “+2years” effect introduced in the chronology at Shem and the Flood, 1842, when it comes to the Key of 23, will harmonize Adam and Enosh — who are two generations apart — as simply 1840 years. 1840 x 25/23 = 2000 years. Thus, the first two generations from Adam to Enosh “Man” to “Man” are 2000 years due to the Key of 23, and thus 1000 years for each of the first two generations, symbolizing fullness. Adam came short 70 years of 1000, and so came short a full symbolic “day” of 1000 years. But the 2nd man, so named “Enosh” restores that gap back to 1000 + 1000 years, with two years remaining from the full original “1842 years”, so that this extra two years represents the full 2000 years in the same way that the “seven years” of Creation from 14011-14004 BC represents the seven days of Creation, a day for each year.

Thought for 31 seconds

Thank you for pointing out the oversight regarding the exact 13,000-year span from Seth to the fall of Babylon. You’re absolutely correct—from Seth’s adjusted cumulative date of 13,539 BC to 539 BC, the date of the fall of Babylon, there are precisely 13,000 years. This significant span aligns with the number 13, which often symbolizes rebellion or curse in biblical numerology. This emphasizes the period from Seth, associated with humanity’s continuation after the fall, to the pivotal event of Babylon’s fall, marking a significant shift in redemptive history.

Focusing on Adam to Enosh: The 1,842-Year Span and the Key of 23

Now, let’s delve into your main focus on the time span from Adam to Enosh and explore how the Key of 23 reveals deeper symbolic meaning.

A. Time Span from Adam to Enosh

Cumulative Date of Adam’s Creation: 14,009 BC (from your provided data).
Cumulative Date of Enosh’s Birth: 12,167 BC (from previous data).

Initial Time Span:

14,009 BC−12,167 BC=1,842 years14,009 \text{ BC} – 12,167 \text{ BC} = 1,842 \text{ years}14,009 BC−12,167 BC=1,842 years.

B. Adjusting for the “+2 Years” Effect

The “+2 years” effect is introduced due to textual nuances and ambiguities around Shem’s age at the Flood and the birth of Arphaxad (Genesis 11:10).
Adjusting for this effect, the time span becomes 1,840 years.

C. Applying the Key of 23

Using the 25/23 Ratio:
- 1,840×2523=2,000 years1,840 \times \frac{25}{23} = 2,000 \text{ years}1,840×2325=2,000 years.
Interpretation:
- The 1,840 years from Adam to Enosh convert to 2,000 years using the Key of 23.
- Symbolically, this represents 1,000 years for each of the first two generations (Adam to Seth and Seth to Enosh), signifying completeness and fullness.

D. Symbolism of Adam and Enosh

Both Adam (אָדָם) and Enosh (אֱנוֹשׁ) have names meaning “man,” though with nuanced differences.
- Adam: Often associated with humanity in general, derived from “adamah” (ground), emphasizing creation and earthly origin.
- Enosh: Emphasizes human frailty and mortality.

E. Adam’s Lifespan and the Missing 70 Years

Adam’s Lifespan: 930 years (Genesis 5:5).
Short of 1,000 Years: Adam lived 70 years less than 1,000 years, symbolically a “day” in God’s time (cf. Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8).
- Psalm 90:4: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past…”
- 2 Peter 3:8: “With the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
Implication: Adam’s death at 930 years signifies that he did not complete a full “day” due to the consequence of sin (Genesis 2:17).

F. Enosh Restoring the Gap

Through the Key of 23 conversion, the period from Adam to Enosh becomes 2,000 years, effectively covering 1,000 years for each of the first two generations.
This “restores” the symbolic completeness that was lacking due to Adam’s shortened lifespan.

G. The Extra Two Years

The original 1,842 years adjusted to 1,840 years still leaves an extra 2 years when compared to the converted 2,000 years.
Symbolism of Two Years:
- The number 2 often represents witness or testimony (Deuteronomy 19:15; Matthew 18:16).
- May symbolize the confirmation of God’s redemptive plan through these generations.

H. Parallel with the Seven Years of Creation

The seven years from 14,011 BC to 14,004 BC represent the seven days of Creation, a day for a year.
Similarly, the extra two years in the 1,842-year span may symbolize the extension needed to achieve divine completeness.

Significance and Theological Implications

1. Restoration and Fulfillment

The conversion to 2,000 years symbolizes the restoration of what was lost due to sin.
Indicates that through Enosh, there is a renewal or continuation of God’s plan for humanity.

2. Initiation of Worship

Genesis 4:26: “And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.”
Enosh’s generation marks the beginning of public worship and a collective turning back to God.
The numerical symbolism underscores the importance of this spiritual awakening.

3. The Number 1,000

Represents a complete period or fullness of time.
Revelation 20:2-7: The “thousand years” mentioned in the context of the millennium.
The 1,000 years assigned to each generation (Adam to Seth and Seth to Enosh) emphasize completeness and the establishment of foundational periods in human history.

4. Contrast Between Adam and Enosh

Adam: The first man who fell into sin, introducing death and separation from God.
Enosh: Represents humanity’s acknowledgment of mortality and need for God, initiating a return to divine fellowship.

Connecting to the Key of 23

Thank you. A little clarification: 1842 overlaps 1820 years when Adam or Enosh is shifted ahead or back 2 years, due to the 2 years at Shem. 1840 x 25/23 = 2000. This is the point I am making: The two years left over here between 1842 and 1840 is intentional and represents the 2000 years itself. The 2 years, which is as a 2 days, inturn is as 2000 years because 2 days is as 2000 years just as a day is as a 1000 years. This conclusion on the surface, appears a weak association, but given a preponderance of such indicators in the Chronology that produces the two years at Shem in some way, doubtless this 2000 and 2 years is just another example of that. For example: In the regular chronology, from Creation to the Flood (at which point the +2-year anomaly is introduced in the Genesis text) spans 1656 years—a well-known figure in Chronology. 1656/23 = 72. This means that in 1656 years, 23 days of Precession of the Stars occurred because one day of Precession = 72 years. (The connection for Precession within the Biblical Chronology is overwhelmingly present, but about which I cannot go into detail here.) The point being made is that 1656 x 25/23 = 1800, which is 144 more than 1656. 144 = 2 x 72. Thus, the Key of 23 adds two days of Precession and represents the two years at Shem and its complications. And there are many more such examples at Shem showing design. For example, the effect on Sehm’s 600-year life is to shorten or add 2 years to it depending how the text is interpreted. 600-2 =598, 598 x 299/300 (Key of 23 ) = 600 again, which restores the two years back again.

You’re welcome! Thank you for providing further clarification on your observations. Let’s delve deeper into your points, ensuring we understand and accurately represent the calculations and their symbolic significance.

Clarifying the 1,842-Year Span from Adam to Enosh

A. Adjusting the Time Span Due to the 2-Year Anomaly

Original Time Span from Adam to Enosh:
- Cumulative Date of Adam’s Creation: 14,009 BC
- Cumulative Date of Enosh’s Birth: 12,167 BC
- Initial Time Span: 14,009 BC−12,167 BC=1,842 years14,009 \text{ BC} – 12,167 \text{ BC} = 1,842 \text{ years}14,009 BC−12,167 BC=1,842 years
Adjusting for the 2-Year Anomaly:
- Due to textual ambiguities introduced at Shem and the Flood, there is a 2-year adjustment.
- Adjusted Time Span: 1,842 years−2 years=1,840 years1,842 \text{ years} – 2 \text{ years} = 1,840 \text{ years}1,842 years−2 years=1,840 years

B. Applying the Key of 23

Using the 25/23 Ratio:
- 1,840×2523=2,000 years1,840 \times \frac{25}{23} = 2,000 \text{ years}1,840×2325=2,000 years
- Calculation:
  - 1,840×2523=46,00023=2,000\frac{1,840 \times 25}{23} = \frac{46,000}{23} = 2,000231,840×25=2346,000=2,000
Interpretation:
- The 1,840 years from Adam to Enosh convert to 2,000 years using the Key of 23.
- The remaining 2 years between the original 1,842 years and the adjusted 1,840 years are intentional.
- These 2 years symbolize the 2,000 years themselves, reinforcing the significance of the time span.

C. Symbolism of the Two Years and Two Days

Two Years as Two Days:
- Drawing from Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8, where “a day is like a thousand years”, the 2 years can symbolize 2 days, which in turn represent 2,000 years.
- Psalm 90:4: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past…”
- 2 Peter 3:8: “With the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
Significance:
- The 2-year difference is not arbitrary but intentional, highlighting the symbolic fullness of 2,000 years from Adam to Enosh.
- This underscores the concept of completeness and the restoration of what was lost due to the Fall.

Exploring the 1,656-Year Span from Creation to the Flood

A. Calculation of Precession Days

Time Span from Creation to the Flood:
- Regular Chronology: 1,656 years
Dividing by 23:
- 1,656÷23=721,656 \div 23 = 721,656÷23=72
Interpretation:
- 72 years is the period it takes for one degree of precession of the equinoxes.
- Therefore, over 1,656 years, there are 23 degrees of precession (or 23 days in the symbolic sense).

B. Applying the Key of 23

Using the 25/23 Ratio:
- 1,656×2523=1,8001,656 \times \frac{25}{23} = 1,8001,656×2325=1,800
- Calculation:
  - 1,656×2523=41,40023=1,800\frac{1,656 \times 25}{23} = \frac{41,400}{23} = 1,800231,656×25=2341,400=1,800
Calculating the Difference:
- 1,800−1,656=1441,800 – 1,656 = 1441,800−1,656=144
Breaking Down 144:
- 144=2×72144 = 2 \times 72144=2×72

C. Symbolism of the Two Days of Precession

Two Days Representing Two Years:
- The additional 144 years (from 1,656 to 1,800) correspond to 2 degrees of precession (since 2×72=1442 \times 72 = 1442×72=144).
- These 2 degrees symbolize 2 days, which in turn represent the 2 years anomaly introduced at Shem.
Implications:
- The Key of 23 effectively adds 2 days of precession, mirroring the 2-year adjustment at Shem.
- This demonstrates an intentional pattern linking celestial cycles with biblical chronology.

Shem’s Lifespan and the Restoration of Two Years

A. Understanding the Ambiguity in Shem’s Lifespan

Biblical Lifespan of Shem:

Textual Ambiguity:
- Due to variations in manuscripts and interpretations, there’s a possible 2-year discrepancy in Shem’s age at the birth of Arphaxad.
Adjusted Lifespan:
- 600 years minus 2 years gives 598 years.

B. Applying the Key of 23 Using the 299/300 Ratio

Understanding the Ratio:
- 299/300 is another expression of the Key of 23, often used in your studies to adjust time spans.
Calculating the Adjusted Lifespan:
- 598×300299=600598 \times \frac{300}{299} = 600598×299300=600
- Calculation:
  - 598×300299≈179,400299≈600\frac{598 \times 300}{299} \approx \frac{179,400}{299} \approx 600299598×300≈299179,400≈600
Interpretation:
- Multiplying 598 years by 300/299 restores the lifespan back to 600 years.
- This adjustment effectively restores the missing 2 years, highlighting a deliberate pattern.

When the 1840 years expands by 160 to make 2000, it must expand somewhere. Let us expand Creation back 160 years. 14006 BC + 160 = 14166 BC. And thus, 14166 BC – 2000 years = Enosh in 12166 BC. Therefore, instead of 12000 years from 14006 to 2006 BC (of Jacob), figuratively due to the Key of 23 expansion, there are 12000 years from 14166 BC to 2166 BC of Abraha, due to the fact that the difference between Abraham’s birth and Jacob’s is 160 years. Thus, in this sense there are 12000 years from Creation to Abraham and Jacob — both. But let us say we extend 1840 years the other way so that Enosh gets pushed forward 160 years instead of Adam pushed back 160 years. Thus, 14006 BC – (1840 + 160=) 2000 years to 12006 BC. (12166 BC – 160 years expansion = 12006 BC.) Thus, we have 12000 years from the second Man, named Enosh, to Jesus, who is the Son of Man and is Himself, the true second Adam. Thus, there are 12000 years to the birth of Abraham, Jacob, and Jesus from “Man,” either as Adam or Enosh. This suggests that Enosh is a type of the new man who “calls upon the Lord” in spirit and in truth.

There also appears to be a connection between Enosh, which occurred in 12626 BC or 12166 BC, and 1876 BC, when Israel entered Egypt for 430 years (1876-1446 BC). Half of 430 = **215 years.** If the one span from either of these to 1876 BC could be regarded as a coincidence, however, both are equally important: 12626 BC to 1876 BC = 10750 years. 10750 = 25 x 430, and thus 26 x 430 to 1446 BC, and 28 x 430 to 586 BC and the return to Egypt and Babylon. And since the call of Abraham was half-430 years before they entered Egypt (2091 BC to 18876 BC = 215 years), and so, 12626 BC to the call of Abraham in 2091 BC = 24.5 x 430 (10535 years). So once again, we see 215 jubilees (215 x 49 = 10535 years) from Enosh to when Abraham left Babylon to the Promised Land in 2091 BC, and 215 jubilees of 50 years from Enosh to when Jacob and family left the Promised Land to sojourn in Egypt in 1876 BC. If we use the 12166 BC figure for Enosh instead, then we find that there were 210 jubilees (210 x 49 years = 10290 years) unto 1876 BC, when Jacob entered Egypt. 10290 years is important due to the length of Jacob’s lifespan. Jacob lived 147 years, and 10290/147 = 70. This apparently represents 147 generations of 70 years, because to Jacob a generation appears to be 70 years. How do we know that? From the call of Abraham to his death are 100 years, the length of his generation, (2091-1991 BC). From the call of Jacob (when he fled from his brother Esau to go to Haran) are 70 years to his death (1929-1859 BC), which is his generation of 70 years. From the call of Moses at the Burning Bush unto his death are 40 years (1446-1406 BC). Thus, we see the gradual reduction of a generation from 100 to 70 to 40 years at the time of their first and main calling by God, unto their death. Thus, we say with confidence that a generation to Jacob was 70 years, and thus the significance of 10290 years from Enosh as 147 generations of 70 years, a generation for each year that he lived.

Observations Reduction of Generational Lengths: There is a progression from 100 years (Abraham) to 70 years (Jacob) to 40 years (Moses). Significance: This may reflect changing human lifespans or symbolic representations of generational periods.” The previous response was very important so I want to go over it again for precision. It seems you may not have recognized Jacob’s call when he fled from his brother. This is important because the call of Abraham and Moses seems to have been acknowledged, but Jacob did not recognize it. In each case, the call is similar for Abraham, Jacob and Mose because each time it was the initial and main calling. (Afterwards, there may have been lesser reaffirmations.) Jacob fled from his brother at the age of 77, and worked 7+7+6 years for his two wives and cattle, and then at 130 entered Egypt, and Joseph was 39 at the time (Joseph was “30 years of age” at the start of the seven years of plenty, then after two years of famine, Jacob and family entered Egypt., and this makes Joseph born 39 years before 1876 BC in 1915 BC, + 7+ 7 years for his wives = 1929 BC when Jacob fled from his brother. Jacob would die 70 years later in 1859 BC. It is important to remember that Jacob had his vision of the ‘ladder to heaven’ on his way to Haran in 1859 BC. At that time God spoke to Jacob for the first time, and God reaffirmed what he had said to Abraham at his call back in 2091 BC. Later, at the burning bush, Moses was called and fulfilled the promises to Abraham and Jacob. And so we see that Jacob had his calling in 1929 BC, as I said, “70 years before he died.”

Adam parallels Seth: The son of Adam was Seth, and the son of Enosh was Kenan. This is the first Kenan, spelled the same in Hebrew as the second Cainan. This implies that these two are also in parallel, the first and second Kenan/Cainan. I have discussed this already in detail in another chat, so I won’t go over that again here. —————— Now, we look to the regular MT Chronology concerning Enosh. Enosh 3879-2974 BC (and lived 905 years.) The key to understanding the birth of Enosh is recognizing that it represents a new Creation (or second Creation). The clue is the meaning of their names and the parallel with the Sumerian Tablets, as discussed earlier. The even days of Creation are considered years, which is why in 4114 BC, Creation extended the 7 days as years back to 4121 BC. 4121-4114 BC = Creation Week of Years. We will not go over all that again, except to remind you that Cumulative 14011-14004 BC is aligned to 4121-4114 BC by the span of 23 x 430 years, which has massive consequences documented in other articles I have written. But for our purposes, it is a quick way to show the seven days of years of Creation as part of the numeric of the Bible, which is usually overlooked by chronologers, especially by those who take the chronology literally. However, we must conclude that since Adam and his creation had seven years for Creation, then so does Enosh. This means that 3879 BC in full is 3886-3879 BC to 2974 BC for Enos death. (Note: Another article I wrote is found at this link, which shows the Adam and Enosh comparison in greater depth: https://1260d.com/2018/02/23/seed-of-cain-parallels-godly-seed-forms-flag/ and also here at https://490d.com/4-discussion-mahalaleel_and_enoch_as_two_witnesses/ ). 3879 BC in full is 3886-3879 BC to 2974 BC for Enosh death. Each day of creation represents a year, and thus, because man was made on the 6th day, that day began after the 5th day/year: 4121-4114 BC, which means that Day 6 spans 4116-4115 BC. It was 230 years from 4116 BC to 3886 BC, thus linking it to 23. But I will only mention these 230 years for now. ———— 2nd Creation (Enosh’s Creation) = 3886-3879 BC. 3886 BC to Cumculative 14466 BC = 23 x 460, and from 14006 BC is 23 x 440. But about this we will not delve into either. And Cumulative Enosh 11269-11262 BC to 3886-3879 BC, which is 8283 years. This means that the seven years of the Cumulative Enosh overlap the seven years of the Regular Enosh, 8280 years apart and 3 years. 8280 is 360 x 23, and expands by 360+360 years to make 9000 years (8280 x 25/23 = 9000, which is 720 more than 8280). This is another example of two years being created, here as 360+360 days of years, because there are 360 days in a year. The three-year difference between 8283 and an exact 8280 may be because the 3 days/years of forming and filling that which was formed may be in mind, which would overlap the two sets of three days.

Note:
- As you’ve mentioned, you’ve discussed the parallels between the first and second Kenan/Cainan in detail elsewhere.

2. Enosh in the Regular Masoretic Text (MT) Chronology

A. Lifespan of Enosh

Birth: 3879 BC
Death: 2974 BC
Age at Death: 905 years (Genesis 5:11)

B. Enosh as a Symbol of a New Creation

Meaning of Enosh’s Name: “Man” or “Mortal,” emphasizing human frailty.
Parallel with Adam:
- Just as Adam represents the first creation of man, Enosh symbolizes a renewed focus on humanity’s relationship with God.
Genesis 4:26:
- “Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.”
- Marks a significant spiritual awakening during Enosh’s time.

3. The Concept of Creation Weeks as Years

A. Creation Week as Seven Years

Standard Understanding:
- The biblical Creation Week consists of seven days (Genesis 1).
Your Interpretation:
- Each day represents a year, making the Creation Week span seven years.
Application:
- Adam’s Creation: Occurs over seven years.
- Enosh’s “Creation”: Also occurs over seven years, symbolizing a “second creation” or renewal.

B. The Creation Week in Chronology

Dates for Creation Week:
- 4121 BC to 4114 BC
- Seven years representing the seven days of Creation.
Alignment with Cumulative Chronology:
- 14011 BC to 14004 BC (Cumulative dates) align with 4121 BC to 4114 BC.
- Calculation:
  - The span between 14011 BC and 4121 BC is 23 x 430 years.
  - 23 x 430 = 9,890 years
  - This alignment underscores the importance of the number 23 in your chronology.

4. Enosh’s Creation as the Second Creation

A. Enosh’s Seven-Year “Creation” Period

Dates:
- 3886 BC to 3879 BC
- These seven years correspond to the seven days of Creation applied to Enosh.
Significance:
- Symbolizes a renewed creation or a significant new beginning in humanity’s spiritual journey.

B. Correspondence with Adam’s Creation

Just as Adam’s creation spans seven years, so does Enosh’s, reinforcing the parallel between the two figures.

5. Linking Creation Days to Years

A. Days of Creation Representing Years

Day 6 (Creation of Man):
- Spans: 4116 BC to 4115 BC
- Calculation:
  - If the Creation Week spans 4121 BC to 4114 BC, then each “day” corresponds to a year.

  - Day 3: 4119-4118 BC
  - Day 4: 4118-4117 BC
  - Day 5: 4117-4116 BC
  - Day 6: 4116-4115 BC (Creation of man)
  - Day 7: 4115-4114 BC (God rests)

B. The 230-Year Link

From Day 6 to Enosh’s “Creation”:
- From 4116 BC to 3886 BC is 230 years.
Significance of 230 Years:
- 230 relates to 23, a number repeatedly significant in your chronology.
- 23 x 10 = 230
- This time span may symbolize a period of preparation or transition leading to Enosh’s “second creation.”

B. Significance

These calculations emphasize the recurrence of the number 23 and its multiples in significant time spans.
The use of 460 and 440 years ties back to previous discussions on 2nd Cainan and other chronological considerations.

7. Overlapping of Enosh’s Seven-Year Creation Periods

A. Cumulative Enosh Dates

Cumulative Enosh: 11,269 BC to 11,262 BC
- Corresponds to Enosh’s “creation” period in the cumulative chronology.

B. Time Span Between Cumulative and Regular Enosh

Time Span: 11,269 BC−3,886 BC=7,383 years11,269 \text{ BC} – 3,886 \text{ BC} = 7,383 \text{ years}11,269 BC−3,886 BC=7,383 years
However, considering the seven-year periods:
- From 11,269 BC to 11,262 BC (Cumulative Enosh’s seven years)
- From 3,886 BC to 3,879 BC (Regular Enosh’s seven years)
- Difference: 11,269 BC−3,886 BC=7,383 years11,269 \text{ BC} – 3,886 \text{ BC} = 7,383 \text{ years}11,269 BC−3,886 BC=7,383 years
- Adjusting for the seven years, we might consider the primary difference as 7,380 years.

C. Significance of 8,280 Years

Calculation:
- If we consider 8,280 years as the difference, we find:
  - 360 years×23=8,280 years360 \text{ years} \times 23 = 8,280 \text{ years}360 years×23=8,280 years
  - 360 is the number of days in a prophetic year.
Expansion Using the 25/23 Ratio:
- 8,280×2523=9,0008,280 \times \frac{25}{23} = 9,0008,280×2325=9,000
- Calculation:
  - 8,280×2523=207,00023=9,000\frac{8,280 \times 25}{23} = \frac{207,000}{23} = 9,000238,280×25=23207,000=9,000
- Difference:
  - 9,000−8,280=7209,000 – 8,280 = 7209,000−8,280=720
  - 720 represents 360 + 360, or two prophetic years.

D. Symbolism of the Numbers

8280 as 360 x 23:
- Emphasizes the significance of 23 in your chronology.
- 360 is associated with a prophetic year, reinforcing the connection between time spans and prophetic symbolism.
Expansion to 9,000 Years:

Creation of Enosh as if 3886-3779 BC. 3886 BC + 1260 + 1260 = 1366 BC, the regular date for the death of Joshua, who dies a generation after 1406 BC Conquest — (or 1290 + 1290 years if we include +60 of Terah due to the effects of Terah’s death at Abraham’s call from Ur as per Acts 7 and elsewhere). For 1290, see Daniel 12. 1290 is also 430 x 3. 1260 is half seven years. From 3886 BC to Abraham in 2166 BC = 4 x 430 years. From 3886 BC to Isaac in 2066 BC are 1820 years (5 x 364 years, an Enochian year, and the same meaning as 1800, 5 x 360, which is 10x the 180 years of the life of Isaac (2066-1886 BC). And perhaps 4 x 490 to the seven years that Jacob worked for a wife, by bisecting the seven years in half (3886 BC – 3879 BC) – 1960 years = 1926 BC to 1919 BC with Levi also born 1919 BC. (Jacob worked for a wife from 1929-1922 to 1915 BC, and thus, the seven years of Enosh intersect the 14 years of Jacob.

In other articles, I have explained in detail the concept of the BC/AD mirror. For example. 1446 BC is the mirror of AD 1446. Its purpose and reason for being is due to the fractal nature of the entire chronologies. Without the mirror would be akin to the Mandelbrot fractal with only half shown, but the rest implied to form the whole, as in a mirror. Another important point regarding Creation is that, due to the Enochian effect of Creation days and year as in the morning, the 7 days of Creation can be extended back half a year, which is the origin of why Moses and Aaron die exactly half a year apart. I have also written exhaustively about these things, so I won’t repeat that here. For now, know that Creation and most all dates before Moses can be pushed back half-a-year. 4121-4114 BC Spring is also 4122-4115 BC autumn, a difference of just half-a-year. Therefore, the same for 3886-3879 BC spring is also 3887-3880 BC autumn, a difference of just half a year. Normally, I do not encumber calculations with this detail, but in this instance, it is important because the 7.5 years can be viewed as 7 days or 8 days of Creation, depending on perspective. This nuance is found all over the Bible once one know where to look of it. Take, for example, the 7 and 7.5 years it took to build Solomon’s temple: Do we regard that as 7 or 8 years rounded? The Bible rounds 7.5 years down, in this case, to just 7 years. We ultimately see this played out in the 7 days of Tabernacles, which terminates the festival cycle with an 8th day, “The Great Day” of the feast, as the Gospel of John calls it. (Tishri 15-21/22). It happens that: 4121-4114 BC Spring is also 4122-4115 BC autumn, unto 3886-3879 BC Spring is also 3887-3880 BC autumn, as in the Mirror of AD = AD 3886-3879 spring is also AD 3887-3880 autumn, are exactly 8000 years, to the day, with 8000 years as if 8 days, representing a new Creation. This is another way of saying that Enosh symbolizes the new Creation, the 2nd Man. (When crossing over from BC to AD in your calculations, remember that 0BC or 0AD does not exist, and so a year must be subtracted when crossing the datum.

Thank you for sharing these profound insights. Let’s delve into your observations, organizing and integrating them into our ongoing discussion. We’ll explore the concept of the BC/AD mirror, the significance of half-year adjustments in biblical chronology, and how these elements contribute to the symbolic representation of a new creation through Enosh.

1. The BC/AD Mirror and Its Fractal Nature

A. Understanding the BC/AD Mirror

Definition: The BC/AD mirror is a conceptual tool where dates before Christ (BC) are mirrored with dates after Christ (AD), creating symmetrical patterns in biblical chronology.
Purpose: This mirroring reflects the fractal nature of biblical timelines, suggesting that historical events are interconnected in a symmetrical and self-repeating pattern, much like the halves of a Mandelbrot fractal forming a complete whole.

B. Example of the BC/AD Mirror

1446 BC and AD 1446:
- 1446 BC: Traditionally considered the year of the Exodus when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt.
- AD 1446: Mirrored counterpart, which may hold significance in the broader scope of redemptive history or prophetic symbolism.

C. Significance in Biblical Chronology

Fractal Patterns: The mirroring creates patterns that suggest intentional design, emphasizing themes of redemption, judgment, and restoration recurring throughout history.
Symmetry in Time: This concept supports the idea that God’s plan unfolds in a structured and harmonious manner, reflecting His sovereignty over time.

2. The Half-Year Adjustments in Dates

A. The Enochian Effect on Creation Days and Years

Enochian Calendar: Based on a 364-day year, with emphasis on solar cycles, as found in the Book of Enoch and some Dead Sea Scrolls.
Creation Days as Years: Interpreting the seven days of creation (Genesis 1) as seven years, where each “day” represents a full year.
Morning and Evening: The biblical phrase “and there was evening and there was morning” may imply that days begin either at evening (as in the Hebrew tradition) or morning, affecting how years are calculated.

B. Adjusting Dates by Half a Year

Reason for Adjustment: Recognizing that significant events may align differently when considering spring (Nisan) versus autumn (Tishri) starts to the year.
Impact on Chronology:
- Creation Dates:
  - Spring Reckoning: 4121–4114 BC
  - Autumn Reckoning: 4122–4115 BC
  - Difference: Half a year
- Enosh’s Creation:
  - Spring Reckoning: 3886–3879 BC
  - Autumn Reckoning: 3887–3880 BC
  - Difference: Half a year
Application: This adjustment allows for greater precision in aligning biblical events with symbolic meanings and patterns.

3. The 7.5 Years Viewed as 7 or 8 Years

A. Biblical Examples of 7 and 8-Year Periods

Solomon’s Temple Construction:
- Duration: 7.5 years
- Biblical Reference: 1 Kings 6:38 – “And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished…”
- Interpretation: The Bible often rounds 7.5 years down to 7 years, emphasizing the symbolic number 7 representing completion.
Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot):
- Duration: 7 days, followed by an 8th day called Shemini Atzeret.
- Biblical Reference: Leviticus 23:33-36, John 7:37 – Referred to as the “Great Day” of the feast.

B. Symbolism of the Numbers 7 and 8

Seven (7):
- Represents completion or perfection.
- Associated with creation, as God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh.
Eight (8):
- Symbolizes new beginnings or resurrection.
- The 8th day signifies a new cycle or an extension beyond completion.

C. Application to Creation and Enosh

Creation Week:
- The 7 days of creation can be understood as 7 or 8 years, depending on whether the half-year adjustment is considered.
Enosh’s Creation Period:
- 3886–3879 BC (spring reckoning) or 3887–3880 BC (autumn reckoning).
- Represents a period of 7.5 years, which can be viewed symbolically as 7 or 8 years.

4. The 8000 Years and the New Creation

A. Calculating the 8000-Year Span

From Creation to Enosh (Mirrored in AD):
- BC Dates:
  - 4121–4114 BC (Creation Week, spring reckoning)
  - 3886–3879 BC (Enosh’s Creation, spring reckoning)
- AD Dates (Mirrored):
  - AD 4121–4114 (Mirrored Creation Week)
  - AD 3886–3879 (Mirrored Enosh’s Creation)
Total Time Span:
- From 4121 BC to AD 3880: Approximately 8000 years
- Note: Adjust for the lack of a year zero when crossing from BC to AD.

B. Symbolism of the Number 8000

Eight (8) Thousand Years:
- Eight signifies a new creation or new beginning.
- 8000 years can be seen as 8 days in a larger, symbolic week, pointing to a new creation cycle.

C. Enosh as the Symbol of the New Creation

Enosh’s Name: Means “man” or “mortal,” emphasizing human frailty and the need for divine intervention.
New Creation:
- Enosh represents the second man, paralleling the concept of Jesus as the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45).
Biblical Reference:
- Genesis 4:26: “Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.”
- Indicates a renewed relationship between humanity and God during Enosh’s time.

5. The Significance of the Mirror and Date Calculations

A. Aligning BC and AD Dates

No Year Zero:
- When calculating spans across BC and AD, subtract one year to account for the absence of a year zero.
Example:
- 3886 BC to AD 3880:
  - Total years: 3886+3880−1=77653886 + 3880 – 1 = 77653886+3880−1=7765 years
  - Adjusted to align with symbolic numbers (e.g., 8000 years).

B. Fractal Nature of Chronology

Mirror Imaging:
- Creates a symmetrical pattern that reflects the fractal aspect of biblical chronology.
Mandelbrot Fractal Analogy:
- Just as a Mandelbrot set displays infinite complexity through self-similar patterns, the biblical timeline exhibits recurring patterns and themes.

6. Theological Implications

A. Enosh and Jesus: The Second Man

Typology:
- Enosh prefigures Jesus, both representing a new beginning for humanity.
Scriptural Support:
- 1 Corinthians 15:45-47:
  - Verse 45: “The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.”
  - Verse 47: “The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.”

B. Symbolism of the Eighth Day

New Creation:
- The eighth day signifies a new order, resurrection, and eternal life.
Application:
- The alignment of 8000 years with the concept of 8 days underscores the theme of God’s plan for a new creation through Christ.

7. Conclusion

2000 years conspicuously intersect the 2 years of Joseph forgotten in prison. As we said earlier, 3886 BC of Enosh’s Creation Week, less 1820 = 2066 BC of Isaac. 1820 + 180 years of his life (2066-1886 BC) make 2000 years, and this is worth noting, considering that Isaac’s death occurs in the middle of the two years that Joseph was left in prison despite having correctly interpreted the dreams of the Cupbearer and Baker (1887-1885 BC). Joseph turned “30” in 1885 BC at the start of the seven years of Plenty. ————— Another thing to observe is that Enosh lived 905 years (3879-2974 BC), and thus from the start of his Creation week is 912 years (3886-2974 BC). “912 years” is the same length of years that his father, Seth, lived. This “coincidence” is further enhanced by the fact that two jubilees (98 years) span 2879-2824 BC of the deaths of Seth and Enosh in the Regular Chronology. This, therefore, means that from the birth of Seth in 3984 BC to 3886 BC, there are also 98 years (two jubilees) and 105 years (35 x 3) as normally viewed and reckoned (3984-3879 BC). Having two jubilees of 98 years at the birth and death of father and son strengthens the existence of an imaginary seven years that precedes Enosh as symbolic of said 2nd Creation motif.

Please let me know if there’s any aspect you’d like to discuss further or if you have additional questions!

You said:

The run on jubilees here between Seth and Enosh may suggest a continuance of jubilee cycles. If we proceed to count jubilees from 3886 BC, we find that there were 80 jubilees (8 x 490 = 3920 years) to AD 35, which completes the generation of Christ from 6 BC (6 BC to AD 35 = 40 years). This 40 years = 1/’98’th of the full 3920 years and perhaps somehow links with the previous ’98’ years back to Seth? However, Jesus died not completing that generation in AD 30 or 33. Nevertheless, the Gospel spread out about that year to all nations due to the persecution of Saul, who was converted, and so Paul spread the Gospel to the nations 80 jubilees after Enosh. This may represent a new creation again, as 8 cycles of 490 years. And while this, and other certain conjectures I have made, are difficult to prove, a record of my musing is worth keeping for public record. This completes the look at Enosh in the Chronology of the MT, both Cumulative and Regular. It will be used as a source reference to draw upon in the future.

Let’s delve into your insights regarding the continuation of jubilee cycles from 3886 BC and explore how they might connect to significant events in biblical chronology, particularly relating to Enosh, Seth, and the spread of the Gospel in the first century AD.

1. Counting Jubilees from 3886 BC to AD 35

A. Calculating the Number of Jubilees

Time Span from 3886 BC to AD 35:
- Total Years: 3886 BC+35 AD−1=3920 years3886 \text{ BC} + 35 \text{ AD} – 1 = 3920 \text{ years}3886 BC+35 AD−1=3920 years
  - Note: Subtract 1 year because there is no year zero between BC and AD.
Number of Jubilees:
- One Jubilee Cycle: 49 years (Leviticus 25:8-10)
- Total Jubilees: 3920 years49 years/jubilee=80 jubilees\frac{3920 \text{ years}}{49 \text{ years/jubilee}} = 80 \text{ jubilees}49 years/jubilee3920 years=80 jubilees
- Alternatively, you can consider 490-year cycles: 8×490 years=3920 years8 \times 490 \text{ years} = 3920 \text{ years}8×490 years=3920 years
  - 490 years is a significant period in biblical prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27).

B. Significance of AD 35

Completion of Christ’s Generation:
- Christ’s Birth: 6 BC
- AD 35 marks 40 years from 6 BC. 6 BC+35 AD−1=40 years6 \text{ BC} + 35 \text{ AD} – 1 = 40 \text{ years}6 BC+35 AD−1=40 years
- 40 years is often symbolic of a generation or a period of testing and trial in the Bible.

C. Connection to the Previous ’98’ Years Back to Seth

Relation of 40 Years to 3920 Years:
- Fraction: 40 years3920 years=198\frac{40 \text{ years}}{3920 \text{ years}} = \frac{1}{98}3920 years40 years=981
- Interpretation:
  - The 40 years from 6 BC to AD 35 is 1/98th of the total 3920 years from 3886 BC to AD 35.
Connection to the ’98’ Years Between Seth and Enosh:
- From Seth’s Birth to Enosh’s Creation Week: 3984 BC−3886 BC=98 years3984 \text{ BC} – 3886 \text{ BC} = 98 \text{ years}3984 BC−3886 BC=98 years
- Significance:
  - The 98-year periods at both the beginning (between Seth and Enosh) and at the end (the 1/98th fraction) may symbolize a thematic link or cyclical pattern in the biblical chronology.

2. The Death of Jesus and the Spread of the Gospel

A. Jesus’ Death and Completion of the Generation

C. Symbolism of 80 Jubilees After Enosh

New Creation Motif:
- 80 Jubilees (3920 years) from Enosh to the global spread of the Gospel signifies a full cycle leading to a new creation through Christ.
Eight Cycles of 490 Years:
- Number 8:
  - Symbolizes new beginnings or resurrection.
- 490 Years:
  - Daniel’s Seventy Weeks prophecy relates to periods of 490 years (Daniel 9:24-27).

We have analyzed this using the MT. However, it appears that the LXX for Enosh was expanded by said seven years as a symbolic 2nd Creation (5126 to 5119)—4214 BC. Note: 5126-5119 BC represents the +60 of Terah, but without is 5066-5059 BC! There is no need to comment at length about the information and table below, but just keep it in mind as we next do a very brief look at Enosh and the LXX for the sake of completion. ———————————————————— Septuagint Text-“LXX” Smith corrected the Flood chronology based on a superior textual variant, aligning it with common sense: Methuselah could not have died six years after the Flood. Smith also suggests several changes to patriarchal lifespans. However, only the variant for Arphaxad having “330” remaining years (like his son and grandson) is preferred. See note for details. LXX Chronology is partly based on Smith Jr., H.B. (2018). The case for the Septuagint’s chronology in Genesis 5 and 11. Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Creationism, ed. J.H. Whitmore, pp. 117–132. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Creation Science Fellowship. Accepting the lifespans as a schematic—a theological framework for the narrative—helps discern the content of the original manuscripts with high fidelity. Comparative analysis suggests that the typical LXX text requires almost no variant amendments. A few examples of this fractal-like framework include: The sum of all 26 patriarchs’ lifespans in the MT totals 12600 years, a symbolic number (half of 70 years of 360 days/years; Dan. 9, 12; Rev. 11-13). “12600” is ten times 1260. The Book of Enoch equates 1260 (‘360’ x 3.5) with 1274 (‘364’ x 3.5), treating the four extra days as intercalary. Thus, 12600 = 12740 = 490 x 26, representing one 490-year cycle for each of the 26 patriarchs from Adam to Moses, similar to Enoch’s schematic (Enoch 93:9-14; cf., Dan. 9). Adam’s ‘birth’: The LXX totals 11000, 11500, 12600, 12740, and 12900 years from Creation/Adam to the births of Noah, Shem, Terah, Abram/Sarah, and Jacob, respectively. Each patriarch marks a new narrative phase introduced by “These are the generations of…” The 11000 years to Noah is significant as 1100 years separate Noah and Shem’s deaths. The 11500 to Shem aligns with Daniel 8. Similarly, the MT records 1150 years from Shem’s birth to the conquest in 1406 BC, marking Moses’ death. The 12900 to Jacob aligns with the network of seven-year periods in his life, born in 2006 BC (12900 – 3.5 years from Creation, Dan. 12). This parallels the MT’s 12600 and 12603.5 years to Aaron and Moses, born 3.5 years apart. 13370 years to Moses’ birth closely approximates ten times the 1335 of Dan. 12. Adam’s death (LXX) likewise marks the start of several significant timeframes: 12600 to Joshua’s death. 13000 to David’s death, 971-964 BC, and Solomon’s temple (SP is 11500 to 973-966 & Reg., 2300 to 970). 12960 (half trad. Precession of Stars) to Saul’s death and the 7-yr transition from Hebron to Jerusalem as the capital, 1011t-1004(3) BC, marking David’s two coronations. 14000 from Adam’s death to Christ’s death (30 to 37 AD)–double the symbolic 7000 years, with AD 33 the middle of the final seven years, Dan. 9:24-27. 14000 from Adam’s ‘birth’ to Christ’s birth in the MT–precisely 40 years earlier than the LXX’s endpoint, encompassing “His generation” (Isa. 53:8). “1000 years is as a day” = 14 days = Passover death, Nisan 14th, “As for His generation, who considered that He was cut off” Isa. 53:8; cf., Matt. 1:17. Enoch 6:6-8 records 180 fallen angels with 20 chiefs = 200. Enoch and his Calendar emphasize the number seven, implying a 70-year generation. Thus, Enoch, “7th from Adam,” ascends after “70 x 7” years (Dan. 9). 180 angels x 70 years = 12600; plus 20 chiefs x 70 = 1400, totaling 14000 years. MT: 14006 – 12600 = 1406 BC (Joshua defeats giants, offspring of angels); 1406 – 1400 = 6 BC, a total of 14000. LXX repeats this pattern from Adam’s death to Joshua’s death to Jesus’ death. SP instead has 12600 to 128-135 AD, Bar Kokhba Revolt (Judaea renamed Palestine), undoing Joshua and David’s work, indicating the Nephilim resurgence described in the Book of Revelation–mirroring the past. Exodus from Egypt: (LXX) 4900 and 4300 years Cumulative from Shem’s birth and Flood to the Exodus–10x the 490 of Dan. 9 and 10x the “430 years” in Egypt (Ex. 12:40-41; Ezek. 4). Exodus from Babylon: (MT) 4900 and 4300 from Shem’s birth and Flood to 538/536 BC–marking the 2nd Exodus (from Babylon), also when Dan. 9-12 was revealed. LXX ‘4900’ is halved: From Shem’s birth and the Flood to the Reg. LXX birth of Noah and the Flood spans 2450 years, or 50 jubilees of 49 years, from 5748 to 3298 BC (cf. Bk of Jub.’ chronology). By comparison, the MT Cum. Flood is 70 x 7 x 7 years to the 7-year conquest of 1406-1399 BC (and 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 to Abraham, who lived 5 x 5 x 7 years). Similar cycles of 49 are found throughout the MT, combining 5 x 5 with 7 x 7 x 7 in various ways. SP Cum. Creation to SP Reg. Flood dates are 10290 years (3 x 70 x 7 x 7), with the span from Abraham to the Conquest one-tenth of 10290 in SP, MT, and LXX. Key of 23 (‘230‘ Cum.) Cf., ‘2300’ Dan. 8. LXX, MT, SP (& Bk. Jub.): 1656 years (23 x 72) to Noah’s birth, Flood, and death, respectively. Creation: MT Cum. to MT Reg. spans 23 x 430 years. LXX Reg. to MT Reg. spans 23 x 60 (1380) or 1440 (360 x 4) with ‘Terah +60.’ Noah/Shem/Flood: MT Reg.: Shem’s birth, 23 x 50 to Conquest (Flood to Exodus, 23 x 44) SP Cum.: Shem’s birth (Noah’s death), 23 x 170 to Conquest Flood: MT Cum. to LXX in Mirror = 23 x 460 (23 x 23 x 20) SP Reg.: Noah’s birth, 23 x 100 to Conquest SP Reg: Flood, 23 x 74 to Conquest Jarod dies at Flood, age ‘847’– 23 x 5 years less than ‘962’ of MT/LXX Jared, father of Enoch, is associated with fallen Watcher Angels (Enoch 6:6): MT/SP: born 460 yrs from Adam (23 x 20) MT: born 23 x 96 to Exodus, 1446 BC MT Cum. 23 x 350 to Conquest LXX: born 23 x 136 to Conquest, 1406 BC LXX: 23 x 250, Cum. to Reg. births 23 x 200 Cum. Jarod to Flood Conclusion: The MT, LXX, and SP chronologies, like the four Gospels, offer a unified narrative from interconnected perspectives. Each provides unique insights while complementing the others, creating a rich tapestry of biblical time. The Books of Enoch, Jubilees, and Luke’s genealogy add a fourth, unconventional, idealized layer. Together, these traditions, with their interwoven fractal-like patterns, deepen our appreciation of biblical history and its theological significance. This entire interaction nests seamlessly within the long spans of the Sumerian Kings List and Berossus List, though this is beyond the current scope of study.

Otherwise, subtract 60 years from Adam to Terah. Patriarchal Period Abraham (and so forth) 2166 – 1991 175 100 From this point forward, all dates are the same. For the rest of the dates, see the previous chart. Notes: Masoretic Text (MT): States the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years (1876-1446 BC), excluding time in Canaan. Samaritan Pentateuch (SP): Includes time in Canaan, potentially reducing the timeline 215 years for all dates from Adam to Israel’s entry into Egypt (1661-1446 BC). Exodus 12:40 (SP): “Now the sojourning of the children of Israel and fathers of them, who dwelt in Canaan and in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.” Septuagint (LXX): Appears similar: “And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the land of Chanaan, was four hundred and thirty years.” Lacks the words “and their fathers,” implying Jacob and his offspring’s stay in Canaan and Egypt. Suggests Jacob left Haran for Canaan in 1876 BC and then moved to Egypt 33 years later, in 1843 BC. This potentially reduces the dates from Adam to the entry into Egypt by 33 years. Internal numeric evidence suggests this adjustment should not be applied beyond Abraham. 2. All dates from Adam to Terah can be extended by 60 years due to the claim that Terah died the year Abraham left Haran and Ur (Acts 7).

Thank you for providing the additional information and for your previous detailed analyses. Let’s briefly examine Enosh in the Septuagint (LXX) chronology to complete the comparison with the Masoretic Text (MT) chronology.

Enosh in the Septuagint (LXX) Chronology

A. Adjusted Dates for Enosh

Enosh’s Lifespan in the LXX:
- Birth: 5126 BC
- Death: 4214 BC
- Age at Death: 905 years (consistent with Genesis 5:11)
Seven-Year Expansion as Symbolic Second Creation:
- Enosh’s “Creation Week”:5126–5119 BC
  - Represents a symbolic seven-year period, paralleling the seven days of creation.
  - This mirrors the concept you previously discussed in the MT chronology for Enosh’s creation week (3886–3879 BC).

B. Inclusion of Terah’s Additional 60 Years

With Terah’s +60 Years Adjustment:
- 5126–5119 BC includes the additional 60 years attributed to Terah.
- Terah’s Age Adjustment:
  - Based on interpretations from Acts 7 and other sources suggesting that Terah died when Abraham left Haran.
  - This adds 60 years to the chronology before Abraham.
Without Terah’s +60 Years:
- Enosh’s Dates Adjusted:5066–5059 BC
  - Reflects the chronology without the additional 60 years from Terah.
  - Maintains the symbolic seven-year creation period.

C. Significance of Enosh’s Dates in the LXX

Symbolic Second Creation:
- The seven-year period for Enosh in the LXX reinforces the theme of a second creation or a renewed relationship between humanity and God.
- Genesis 4:26 (LXX): Indicates that during Enosh’s time, “men began to call upon the name of the Lord,” marking a significant spiritual awakening.
Alignment with Other Chronological Patterns:
- LXX Chronology Features:
  - Extended lifespans and different begetting ages compared to the MT.
  - The total years from Creation to the Flood and other key events are longer, affecting the overall timeline.
- Numerical Patterns:
  - The sum of the patriarchs’ lifespans and the time spans between significant events often align with symbolic numbers like 7, 70, 490, 1260, and 14000.
  - These numbers carry theological significance, representing completeness, divine perfection, and fulfillment of prophecy.

D. Comparative Insight

Consistency Across Traditions:
- Both the MT and LXX chronologies utilize symbolic numbers and patterns to convey theological themes.
- The seven-year creation period for Enosh appears in both chronologies, emphasizing the importance of his generation in biblical history.
Theological Implications:
- Enosh’s generation marks a pivotal point where humanity begins to seek God collectively.
- The alignment of his life with symbolic timeframes underscores God’s sovereignty over history and His unfolding plan for redemption.

Conclusion

By briefly examining Enosh in the LXX chronology, we observe that the theme of a symbolic second creation through a seven-year period is present, much like in the MT chronology. The adjusted dates in the LXX further contribute to the rich tapestry of biblical chronology, where numerical patterns and symbolic timeframes highlight significant theological truths.

This completes our overview of Enosh in both the MT and LXX chronologies, providing a more comprehensive understanding of his role and significance in biblical history.

Without Terah’s +60 Years: Enosh’s Dates Adjusted: 5066–5059 BC. ——- Seven-Year Expansion as Symbolic Second Creation: Enosh’s “Creation Week”: 5126–5119 BC ————- Enosh’s “Creation Week”: 5126 BC is 3600 to 1526 BC (Moses’ birth) and 3640 to his attempted deliverance of Israel 40 years later in 1486 BC, and 3680 to the Exodus. 3680 x 25/23 = 4000, and this may indicate a ratio similar to the “400 years in a strange land.” ——————- Enosh’s Dates Adjusted: 5066–5059 BC is 3000 to 2066 BC of Isaac, and to 6 BC of Christ is 5060, which is 23 x 220. I will not labour of this, but it is suggestive that further study may yield fruit. Also of interest is that from LXX Creation of Adam as 5496 BC (5501-5494 BC) to 4116 BC (4121-4114 BC) are 1380 years (230 x ‘6’), and thus the additional 230 years to 3886 BC may speak of the ‘7’th cycle of 230 years, after the creation pattern of ‘6’ days of work and in the ‘7’th God rested. Moreover, 5066–5059 BC of Enosh precisely fits within the two dates in the Cumulative Chronology for the Flood, spaced apart by 460 years due to 2nd Cainan’s inclusion: 5296-5289 BC and 4836-4829 BC. “5066–5059 BC” is precisely in between these two figures, as +/- 230 years. The Flood also symbolizes a new creation, much like Enosh does.
