Flood-Day Chronology: Mapping Biblical Events from Noah’s Flood to Christ in the MT, SP, and LXX from Creation Using a 1:10 Ratio

Summary of Numerological Chronology Framework Using the 1:10 Ratio

This summary outlines a numerological framework that maps significant biblical events from the Flood narrative to the Birth of Christ using a 1 Day = 10 Years correspondence. This method seeks to uncover deeper symbolic meanings and divine orchestration within the Bible’s chronology.


1. Foundation of the Framework

  • Ratio Applied:
    1 Day = 10 Years
    This ratio serves as the cornerstone for translating symbolic days into chronological years, allowing for a structured mapping of biblical events onto a linear timeline.
  • Starting Point:
    Day Zero: Set at 4576 BC, marking the commencement of the Flood Year as the base reference for all subsequent calculations.

2. Tables Overview

The framework comprises two primary tables:

  1. 12 Key Dates in Noah’s Ark Timeline
    Focuses on the pivotal moments during the Flood narrative, aligning specific days with corresponding events on the ark.
  2. Numerological Chronology Table: Day Zero (4576 BC) to Birth of Christ (6 BC)
    Extends the timeline beyond the Flood, mapping key biblical events up to the Birth of Christ, integrating both the Masoretic Text (MT) and the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) chronologies.

Notes

  1. Day 17 Correspondence & Half-Day Correspondence:
    • Day 17 Correspondence: Day 17 corresponds to 4121-4414 BC, including the last two days (4416-4414 BC) in the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) Chronology. This period encompasses significant events and aligns with specific festival dates within Noah’s account.
  2. Half-Day Correspondence:
    The creation dates for the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) and Masoretic Text (MT) are 4474 BC and 4414 BC (SP) versus 4174 BC and 4114 BC (MT) respectively. When applied to the 1 Day = 10 Years scale, the seven days of creation are 4481-4476-4474 BC (SP) and 4181-4176-4174 BC (MT). Since man was created on the 6th day, the span from 4481-4476 BC (SP) and 4181-4176 BC (MT) represents five years, which equates to half a day (5 years = 0.5 day) on our scale. This subtle half-day correspondence enhances the precision and alignment of the numerical pattern within the chronology and corresponds to 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on that symbolic day on the 10:1 scale.
  3. Two-Year Gap Correspondence:
    Due to transferring the creation dates to the base date of 4576 BC, a consistent two-year gap is present in the chronology. This two-year difference is observed in multiple events, including the two years from the Flood to Arphaxad’s birth, the two years during Joseph’s first famine, and the two years preceding Christ’s birth as decreed by Herod to kill male infants two years old and under. This pattern underscores the precision of the numerological framework in aligning biblical events using the 1 Day = 10 Years ratio.
  4. A floating leap month of 30 days before the Flood is apparent, and thus, on our scale, is 300 years. Hence, there are two starting positions: 4876 BC and 4576 BC. However, this detail is left out for the sake of simplicity.
  5. LXX Creation Date Alignment:
    • LXX Creation Dates:
      The Septuagint (LXX) creation dates are 5496 BC and 5494 BC, with Terah’s additional 60 years resulting in 5556 BC and 5554 BC respectively.
    • Alignment with Base Date:
      The base date of 4576 BC aligns precisely with the LXX creation date by subtracting 920 years (40 × 23).
      • Calculation:
        5496 BC (LXX Creation) – 920 years = 4576 BC (Base Date)
    • Alignment with MT and SP Creation Dates:
      • Masoretic Text (MT) Creation:
        4576 BC (Base Date) – 460 years (20 × 23) = 4116 BC
      • Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) Creation:
        Using the alternative baseline of 4876 BC:
        4876 BC – 460 years = 4416 BC (SP Creation)
    • Significance:
      All three creation dates (LXX, MT, SP) align by multiples of 460 years, reinforcing the “Key of 23” within the numerological framework. When mapped using the 1 Day = 10 Years ratio, this alignment underscores the precision and interconnectedness of the biblical chronologies.
  6. Base Date and 4600/4900 Year Alignment:
    • Base Date to AD 25/27:
      The base date of 4576/4574 BC is 4600 years (200 × 23) prior to AD 25/27, around when Jesus began his ministry at 30 years of age. This is significant because the full number of days (417 + 40 = 457) translates to 4570 years (1 Day = 10 Years) leading up to 6/4 BC (birth of Jesus). Including the 30 years of Jesus’ ministry completes the total, reaching 4600 years (4570 + 30 = 4600).
    • Inclusion of Exact 300 Years:
      If the exact 300 years are included, the total becomes 4900 years (4600 + 300 = 4900), which is 70 × 70. This number points to Daniel 9 and is also 70 × 7 × 7 corresponding to the Exodus of 1446 BC.
    • Significance:
      The alignment of 4576/4574 BC with 4600 years to AD 25/27 and 4900 years connects key biblical prophecies and events, highlighting the “Key of 23” and reinforcing the precision of the numerological framework in mapping biblical chronology.
      • “4600” ultimately points to a mapping of Biblical events on a ratio of 1:10 and 1:100.
