I built this timeline in the long ago.... Estimated dates....

4300 BC - Creation of Adam
2640 BC - The Great Flood
2060 AD - Christ’s coming
3100 AD - End of millennial and destruction of planet earth

I have man on this planet 7,400 years, and would put the accuracy of these dates within 400 years....

Noah's dad Lamech complained of a cursed ground... " And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." - Genesis 5:29

Taking the timeline of the church in parallel with the generations of Adam there was a severe famine during the time Noah was born. I would imagine a time of famine during the time of the Black Horseman, which days I believe we now live in....

As far as Isaac Newton’s 2060AD quote he said....

““It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fancifull men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, & by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast." –- Isaac Newton

As Adam lived to see seven generations so Christ will remain with the seven churches until he calls her home.

I built this timeline in the long ago.... Estimated dates....
God decreed this timeline long ago, accurate dates:
7000 years from the Creation to the Completion of Mankind:
Genesis 1:27 Adam was created in 3970.5 BCE subtracted back from 586 BCE, from:

Gen 5:3 Seth +130, Gen 5:6 Enoch +105, Gen 5:9 Kenan +90, Gen 5:12 Mahalalel +70, Gen 5:15 Jared +65, Gen 5:18 Enoch +162, Gen 5:21 Methuselah +65, Gen 5:25 Lamech +187, Gen 5:28 Noah+182, Gen 7:6 The Flood came when Noah was +600, Gen 11:10 Our year 2314.5 BCE

Arpachshad +2 - born to Shem after the flood. Gen 11:12 Selah +35, Gen 11:14 Heber +30, Gen 11:16 Peleg +34, Gen 11:18 Reu +30, Gen 11:20 Serug +32, Gen 11:22 Nahor +30 , Gen 11:24 Terah +29, Gen 11:26 Abram +70, Abram was +52 when God called him and they left Ur. Our year 1970.5 BCE He lived in Haran for 23 years, then went to Canaan at age 75. Genesis 12:4 Total years so far = 2000


Gen 17:1, Abraham was 99 when the Covenant was made with God. +47 Genesis 17:1-8

Galatians 3:17 Paul states that the Law was given +430 after the Covenant. Total years elapsed until the Exodus – 2477, in our year 1493.5 BCE. [Many ancient records say Comet Typhon passed close the earth at that time. It was the cause of many of the disasters in Egypt.]

1 Kings 6:1 The Temple construction starts, in the 4th year of King Solomon +480 since the Torah was given at the Exodus.. 1 Kings 11:42 Solomon 40 minus 4 = +36, 1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam +17, 1 Kings 15:2 Abijah +3, 2 Chron 16:13 Asa +41, 1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat +25, 2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram +8, 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah +1, 2 Kings 11:1-3 Athaliah +6, 2 Kings 12:1 Joash +40, 2 Kings 14:2 Amaziah +29, 2 Kings 15:1-2 Azariah +52, 2 Kings 15:33 Jotham +16, 2 Kings 16:2 Ahaz +16, 2 Kings 18:1-2 Hezekiah +29, 2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh +55, 2 Kings 21:19 Amon +2, 2 Kings 22:1 Josiah +31, 2 Kings 23:31 Jehoahaz +3mths, 2 Kings 23:36 Jehoiakim +11, 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoichin +3mths, 2 Kings 24:18-20 Zedekiah +11, who ruled until the Babylonian captivity in our year of 586 BCE.

Total elapsed years to the first exile of Judah = 3386.5

586 BCE + 613.5 years + 2 comes to 29.5 CE, the date of Jesus’ baptism. Luke 3:1 Plus 2 to include the total number of elapsed years, as our calendar system counts years from their commencement.

3386.5 + 613.5 = 4000 years from Adam to Jesus.


January 2019 CE - 29.5 CE = 1989.5 years since the commencement of Jesus’ Ministry.

1989.5 + 4000 = 5989.5 years, is where we are now. 5989.5 + 10.5 = 6000 years

2019 CE + 10.5 = 2029.5 CE Exactly 2000 years to the end of the present Church age.

4000 since Abraham, 6000 since Adam. Next comes the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

7000 years is God’s decreed time for mankind.

Those who have been found worthy will go into Eternity with God. Revelation 22:1-5

Addendum: Because Jesus worked in His mission on earth for 3½ years, the two ‘days’ prophesied in Hosea 6:2 and confirmed by Jesus in Luke 13:32, that He will spend in heaven from Ascension to Return, should have the 3½ years added to it, making a total of 2003.5 years since 29.5 CE = 2033 for the commencement of the Millennium.

As for Isaac Newton, there is no way he could know the end time dates. Daniel 12:4, Matthew 11:25

As for Isaac Newton, there is no way he could know the end time dates. Daniel 12:4, Matthew 11:25

If I had to pick an end time date I would go with the scientist, Isaac Newton, who I think as far as date picking was the closest...

“And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half.” –Daniel 12:7

From a folio cataloged as Yahuda MS 7.3g, f. 13v:

"So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & an half, reckoning twelve months to a year & 30 days to a month as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year. And the days of short lived Beasts being put for the years of lived kingdoms, the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end A.C. 2060.”" - – Isaac Newton

As Charlemagne was crowned king on December 25, 800 by Pope Leo the III so the day of Christ's coming will be on Christmas Day, 2060. If the rapture of the saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) occurs seven years before the time of Christ’s coming the date of the rapture 12.25 2053. However… Isaac Newton notes…

“It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fancifull men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, & by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast." –- Isaac Newton

I gave the scriptures that show it was impossible for Newton or anyone up until now, to knw the date of any of the forthcoming events.
I know 2060 means that you and I won't be here to experience any of it. Is that what you want? Not me; I look forward with great anticipation to the Blessings the Lord promises to shower upon His people.

It is wrong to say a year is 360 days. Patently it is 365.24 days, so your dragging up of Charlemagne is just nonsense.
Why do you dismiss 47 Bible quotes of given time periods?

4300 BC - Creation of Adam
2640 BC - The Great Flood
2060 AD - Christ’s coming
3100 AD - End of millennial and destruction of planet earth

I have man on this planet 7,400 years, and would put the accuracy of these dates within 400 years...

It is my belief that T Lydiat's chronology of the OT comes closest to the understanding of when Adam was created. He was a brother-in-law to Ussher who also produced a chronology of the Old testament and that book has been adopted as standard in that it has been used to set the dates of many ancient history events. Lydiat's understanding is that Adam was created in the year 4103 BC, and from my research of the OT chronology, is within the right ballpark within the limitational accuracy of story telling of say plus or minus 5 years.

Your understanding that your dates are within an accuracy of plus or minus 400 years means that Adam could have been created within an 800 year timespan which for many is too broad for people to accept what you have written.

It is my understanding, based on the understanding of scholars who have applied themselves to this task, that Christ was born in 4 BC, and that Adam was created in the year 4,100 BC, and that a Day of the Lord/age is around 1,024 solar years in duration.

Now the argument that Christ will return to the face of the earth in the year 2060 AD is a supposition that people make, based on their believe that Christ will return at the beginning of the Millennium Age. I do not hold to this conclusion as I believe that scripture only supports the return of Christ at the end of the Millennium Age, a 1,000 plus years into the future from now.

Now, your "dates" are acceptable if we accept your accuracy statement, but your accuracy also means that we have a window of 800 years in which the End Time event can occur in.

I would suggest that your understanding needs to be polished a little to reduce your stated accuracy error.

Shalom

My dates to my belief are ‘closest.’ I am open for change, but it would have to be something good. Anything between 2020-2060AD are possibilities, in my belief, for the second coming of Christ.

You could take the 4103BC date, and using Genesis 5, work your way forward, and come up with some interesting stuff. Will have to look up the T Lydiat guy. Thanks for sharing.

The other issue that people will debate is, "When is the Second Coming of Christ, is it a near or distant future event?"

Our understanding on this point will drive the year expectation of when Christ will return.

Our interpretation of the verse Matt 24:32 will determine when the Summer Age of the harvest will begin, and that is dependant on whether or not an early of late spring had occurred when the Fig tree sprouted its leaves. That also means that there will be some uncertainty as to when the Summer Harvest Season of Souls will begin.

Now there are so many theories prevailing around when people believe that Christ will "permanently" return to the face of the earth, that all that we are left with is confusion on this topic.

I have done just that and set out my understanding on another forum a number of years ago. One of the traps that introduces a one year error in the dates in which people are born after the flood is determining the year in which the Flood ended.

If you take into account year in which the flood ended, and we are given this information in Genesis, you will find that Isaac was born in the year 2049 AA (After Adam's creation), but that comes back to our understand of when Abraham was Born to Terah and whether or not we believe and accept the Chronologies in the Book of Genesis as being correct. Abraham left Ur when he was around the age of 50-52 years old, according to the Book of Jasher and the next Patriarch to died after Abraham had left Ur was Noah who died when Abraham was around the age of 58-59 years old. Stephan's statement in Acts 7:4 is not a reference to Terah dying before Abraham left Haran, but is a reference to Noah who was considered to be the Father of all of mankind after the flood. The Book of Jasher suggest that Abraham spent a considerable period of his early life in the House of Noah in hiding from Nimrod. This error of not accepting all of the Bible as being true, was adopted by Ussher in his chronology of the OT. Sadly Ussher's chronology has many errors in it which skewers his conclusions as to the chronology of the OT. These errors have also found themselves into the "Christian" understanding of today.

Some are still hard at work.
Do we conclude then that Jesus contradicted the Father, saying on the sabbath, "My Father works, and I also work?"

Or do we rather conclude that during the time of practicing the sabbath the Father and the Son both worked, but when "It is finished" (meaning the sixth day), He rested?

And what then shall we say of the present day?

But Jesus said: Keep busy in proclaiming the Gospel, until I Return. Matthew 28:19-20

Obviously people here are not interested in being prepared for all that the prophets tell us will happen before Jesus Returns.
Which could be at the very door......
He’s already returned, He walks in us.

There IS a difference between Spiritual and physical.
Revelation 19:11 plainly states Jesus will Return and reign as King of the world, physically and every eye will see Him.
Are you ready for the testing times ahead? 1 Peter 4:12
Indeed there is a difference between spiritual and physical when it comes to Jesus.

But the witness of all scripture tells us that He has already come physically, and "It is finished"; and neither of those scriptures you posted, nor any others actually indicate a repeat of what He has already done, but rather that He comes in the glory of the Father...whom is spirit, not physical flesh.

What about Acts 1:11?
Denial of a literal, physical Return of Jesus to reign over the world for a thousand years, means that you either;
1/ haven't actually read the relevant prophesies.
2/ You reject and ignore those prophesies.
3/ You have your own agenda for what you want to happen.
4/ You are terrified of the idea that you might have to prove your faith.
