...In normal chronologies, of the OT, Abraham was born in the year 1949 A.M. around 59 years before Noah Died...
What is really meant is, in chronologies that read eisegetically something into Genesis 11:26, that which it does not, nor anywhere in scripture says:

Gen 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.​

which is to say that the text does not say that in the 70th year of Terah's life Abram was born. It does not say that, nor does it say that Abram was the firstborn (anywhere in all of scripture), nor does the text say it in Acts, or anywhere. It says that Terah lived seventy years and had children and lists 3 male children.

You are building an entire doctrine of chronology based upon one text! On the other hand, I provided numerous texts, when read together, the whole picture is seen, which includes Genesis 11-12 and Acts 7. The text even reads the same way as Genesis 5:32

Gen_5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.​

and we know for a fact that Shem was not born in the 500th year of Noah's life, and was not the first born, from the other texts.

Acts 7:14-16 in reference to "he" is "Joseph", and "our fathers" were Joseph's brothers, the other tribes, and his immediate father, "Jacob"/"Israel", listing them as "seventy-five people" (KJB - "threescore and fifteen souls", Noah is not included, neither is Abraham in vs 14-15; Abraham is only included in vs 16 by the mention of the purchase of the land, but he is not a part of the "our fathers" in the "threescore and fifteen souls"). See Genesis 46:6-7,15,25-27; Deuteronomy 10:22:

Gen 46:6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Gen 46:7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

Gen 46:15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.

Gen 46:25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
Gen 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
Gen 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

Deu 10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Act 7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
Act 7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
33, 66, 70, 75.

[1] 33 - Count all the sons and daughters of Jacob in this list (if we subtract "Er", "Onan" (dying in Canaan) and include in their place "Dinah" (vs 15) and "Benjamin" (Genesis 45:14)).

Gen 46:8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: [01] Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
Gen 46:9 And the sons of Reuben; [02] Hanoch, and [03] Phallu, and [04] Hezron, and [05] Carmi.
Gen 46:10 And the sons of [06] Simeon; [07] Jemuel, and [08] Jamin, and [09] Ohad, and [10] Jachin, and [11] Zohar, and [12] Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
Gen 46:11 And the sons of [13] Levi; [14] Gershon, [15] Kohath, and [16] Merari.
Gen 46:12 And the sons of [17] Judah; [XX] Er, and [XX] Onan, and [18] Shelah, and [19] Pharez, and [20] Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were [21] Hezron and [22] Hamul.
Gen 46:13 And the sons of [23] Issachar; [24] Tola, and [25] Phuvah, and [26] Job, and [27] Shimron.
Gen 46:14 And the sons of [28] Zebulun; [29] Sered, and [30] Elon, and [31] Jahleel.
Gen 46:15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter [32] Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. [33] Benjamin (Genesis 45:14)

[2] 66 - Count the whole family later, minus the four 'wives', so, Jacob/Israel and children.


Gen 46:16 And the sons of [34] Gad; [35] Ziphion, and [36] Haggi, [37] Shuni, and [38] Ezbon, [39] Eri, and [40] Arodi, and [41] Areli.
Gen 46:17 And the sons of [42] Asher; [43] Jimnah, and [44] Ishuah, and [45] Isui, and [46] Beriah, and [47] Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; [48] Heber, and [49] Malchiel.
Gen 46:18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
Gen 46:19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
Gen 46:20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
Gen 46:21 And the sons of [XX, already counted; Genesis 45:14, 46:15] Benjamin were [50] Belah, and [51] Becher, and [52] Ashbel, [53] Gera, and [54] Naaman, [55] Ehi, and [56] Rosh, [57] Muppim, and [58] Huppim, and [59] Ard.
Gen 46:22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
Gen 46:23 And the sons of [60] Dan; [61] Hushim.
Gen 46:24 And the sons of [62] Naphtali; [63] Jahzeel, and [64] Guni, and [65] Jezer, and [66] Shillem.
Gen 46:25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
Gen 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;​

[3] 70 - Previous count (66) and now including Jacob's 'wives' (living, 3- Leah, Zilpah & Bilhah) and Jacob himself; therefore (1) Jacob/Israel, (66) children that made it into Egypt (not including "Er" and "Onan" dying in Canaan; Genesis 46:12) and (3) living wives (Rachel dying in Canaan, near Bethlehem; Genesis 35:19, 48:7) = 70, or if we do not count the 'wives' of Jacob, we can count instead (68) Joseph, (69) Manasseh, & (70) Ephraim already in Egypt.

Gen 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

Exo 1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

Deu 10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.​

So you saw one mistake, what about the second?

We are told that 66 people went down to Egypt with Jacob and that there were two sons and two grandchildren in Egypt already when Jacob arrived in Egypt, which makes a grand total of 70 people, not the 75 as Stephen indicated in Acts 7:14-16.

Now Jacob had buried Leah in the Cave at Hebron before he went down to Egypt as he told his sons: -

Genesis 49:31: - 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.​

Now with respect to Zilpah and Bilhah, the Bible is silent as to whether or not they went down to Egypt or whether they died in the Land of Canaan before Jacob began his journey down to Egypt. You are now arguing out of the silence of the scripture to justify that the 75 was not a mistake that Stephen had made in his telling of Jacob and his family going down to Egypt.

In Jewish culture, the women were not included in the numbers when a census was taken of the people. This is also true with respect to Jacob's descendants. As such, we have no records of the wives and their daughters born to them who went down to Egypt with Jacob.

The Second mistake that you did not see was who brought the field at Shechem? The Genesis account attributes that purchase to Jacob.

Perhaps you should dig a little deeper into the Biblical Fact instead of creating your own.

Perhaps you need to list the other texts to support your claim here as to the order in which Noah's sons were born.

You are attempting to claim the moral high ground which you cannot defend from scripture, and the list of Greek words that are identical to the Greek word πατέρα, is found 93-94 time within the NT. The Greek Root word, G:3962, πατήρ, is found around 112 times in the NT and is found embedded in another 8 to 10 Greek words depending on the Interlinear being consulted, for a total of 306 times.

Now, your claim that I listed ever occurrence of the G:Root G:3962 is based on a furphy on your part where the Greek Root, G:3962, is identified as occurring or as being embedded in a Greek Word, around 418 times. It is obvious that your understanding is limited, otherwise you would not have made such a foolish claim. The context of the Greek Word, πατέρα, is important and the meaning of this word should be the same where ever it is found. Your understanding is based on a flawed private interpretation. I am comparing like texts with text as you have also claimed to justify your flawed understanding. You cannot have it one way for you and another way for me. Either I can compare text with texts or, if that is not allowed, then you cannot compare text with text to support your theory. It is of itself a false argument....
You are mistaken, again. I said nothing about "G3962" at all, you added that. I said, "Also to list every reference in the NT in regard 'father/s' is irrelevant to the immediate context of Acts 7, Genesis 11."

I spoke in generics to context of 'ancestral' uses. However, even getting specific now:

...With respect to what Stephen in context was speaking, we should in context accept the contexts found in the following verses where πατέρα can be found 94-94 times in the New Testament: -

Matthew 3:9, 4:22, 5:16, 8:21, 10:37, 11:27, 15:4, 15:4, 15:6, 19:5, 19:19, 19:29, 23:9, 26:53, Mark 1:20, 5:40, 7:10, 7:10, 9:21, 10:7, 10:19, 10:29, 15:21, Luke 1:73, 3:8, 8:51, 9:59, 11:11, 14:26, 15:18, 15:20, 18:20, John 5:18, 5:19, 5:23, 5:23, 5:45, 6:42, 6:46, 6:46, 6:57, 8:19, 8:19, 8:27, 8:41, 8:49, 10:15, 13:1, 14:6, 14:7, 14:8, 14:9, 14:9, 14:12, 14:16, 14:28, 14:31, 15:16, 15:23, 15:24, 16:3, 16:10, 16:17, 16:23, 6:26, 16:28, 20:17, 20:17, 20:17, Acts 7:4, 7:14, 28:8, Romans 4:11, 4:12, 4:17, 4:18, 15:6, 2 Corinthians 6:18, Ephesians 2:18, 3:14, 5:31, 6:2, 1 Timothy 5:1, Hebrews 1:5, James 3:9, 1 Peter 1:17, 1 John 1:2, 2:1, 2:13, 2:22, 2:23, 2:23, 2 John 1:9...​

Acts 7:4 is the immediate father of Abraham, Terah (this is the text you question and say it refers to Noah)
Acts 7:14 is the immediate father of Joseph, Jacob
Acts 28:8 is the immediate father of Publius

Therefore all the texts in Acts which you cited refer to the immediate father. Except you think that Acts 7:4 refers to Noah???

Romans 4:11 refers to Abraham as a 'father'of a multitude (those of faith), and is a spiritual reference
Romans 4:12 refers to Abraham as a 'father' physically and spiritually to many (see vs 17)
Romans 4:17 refers to Abraham as a 'father' physically and spiritually to many
Romans 4:17 refers to Abraham as a 'father' physically and spiritually to many

1 Timothy 5:1 is likening an elder unto a 'father' figure, and has nothing to do with blood lineage.

Hebrews 1:5 is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ)

James 3:9 is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ)

1 Peter 1:17 is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ) and of us all

1 John 1:2 is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ)
1 John 2:1 is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ) and of us all
1 John 2:13 is the immediate fathers in the church (ie those that have physical children)
1 John 2:22 is the immediate father
1 John 2:23 (x2) is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ) and of us all

2 John 1:9 is the immediate Father of the Son (Jesus Christ) and of us all
Therefore, of all the texts you listed, only 7 refer (each referring to Abraham) 'father' as an ancestral male lineage. Therefore, even the percentage is against your eisegetical use in Acts 7:4, let alone the immediate context and that which Stephen cites from the OT.

So you saw one mistake, what about the second?

We are told that 66 people went down to Egypt with Jacob was 66 people and there were two sons and two grandchildren in Egypt already when Jacob arrived in Egypt, which makes a grand total of 70 people, not the 75 as Stephen indicated in Acts 7:14-16.

Now Jacob had buried Leah in the Cave at Hebron before he went down to Egypt as he told his sons: -

Genesis 49:31: - 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.​
....
If you will notice, I didn't count Leah "[XX]" as among the 75, did I? I also said it was "One way to count just from the Hebrew text" (which included Manasseh and Ephraim) and at the end stated, "One can also swap out Manasseh and Ephraim, with Tamar (as sister in law) Judah's 'wife' and also with the Canaanitish woman the mother of Shaul (son of Simeon) as another sister in law." I am inclined to the latter (Tamar, Canaanitish), not the former (Manasseh, Ephraim).

Perhaps you need to list the other texts to support your claim here as to the order in which Noah's sons were born.
Did it, twice already, here is the second time:

The confusion is upon your part, and not mine own which is of scripture, and not others. Also to list every reference in the NT in regard 'father/s' is irrelevant to the immediate context of Acts 7, Genesis 11. Father Adam is not in context of Acts 7, neither Acts 7:4. Acts 7 begins with Abraham, and none before him. The context is Abraham, and immediate family (kindred). Noah is likewise not present in all the text, and neither the entirety of the flood, as Acts 7 begins after the flood during the time of Abraham.

Look at the chronology itself.

Noah was already dead, 3 years before Abraham was even born; Noah dying in A.M. 2006 (living from A.M. 1056 (Noah (950) (Gen 5:28,29; Luk 3:36) + 500 (Gen 5:32) + 100 (Gen 7:6,11) + 350 (died; Gen 9:28,29) unto A.M. 2006)

Abraham was born in A.M. 2009 (being from 1879 - Terah (205) (Gen 11:24; Luk 3:34) + 130 (Abram; Gen 11:32, 12:4; Acts 7:2-4) + 75 (died; Gen 11:32)).

Look at what the texts clearly state (not what you assume they state):

In the text of Genesis 11:26, we read:

Genesis 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.​

This text, is like unto Genesis 11:10, in that it is not saying that Abraham was born in the 70th year of Terah, for we know this by comparing text with text in scripture. For instance:

Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

Genesis 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.​

This is repeated in Acts 7:

Acts 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

Acts 7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

Acts 7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.​

Combining Genesis 11:32, with Genesis 12:4, with Acts 7:4, we come to understand that Abram was 75 years old when Terah died at 205. This would place the birth of Abram at 130th year of Terah. If we use a similar approach here, as that of Shem, Ham and Japheth, then it is likely that Haran was the firstborn, and first to die young (Gen 11:28), as it mentions no wives of his, and then the second would be Nahor, followed by Abram, who both take wives after the death of their elder brother Haran (Gen 11:29) in Ur of the Chaldees.

Acts 7:3-4, refer to the very passages of Genesis 11:32, 12:1,4 and even uses the almost exact same words:

"Get thee out of thy country" - Genesis 12:1; Acts 7:3 and this was said by God to Abraham after Terah, "his (Abraham's) father" died (Genesis 11:32; Acts 7:4).

"and from thy kindred" - Genesis 12:1; Acts 7:3.

"father" - Genesis 12:1 (context Genesis 11:32, "Terah"); Acts 7:4
The last time Noah was mentioned was in Genesis 10, in the listing of the nations, and not in Genesis 11, 12, etc. Noah is not mentioned in Acts 7 at all, and the context begins with Abraham already in Mesopotamia. Both contexts tells you it is Abraham's immediate father, not the great, great, great, great, great, great, (great; Cainan), great, great grandfather Noah.

The context of Matthew (and other such texts which use 'father' in the generational meaning) dictates that the Jews are referring to so many generations unto Abraham (as 'our father'), but the context of Genesis 11 and Acts 7 has no such context.

...Now we can look at the time of the building of the Temple to the Captivity, beginning with Solomon:

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.​

Thus we begin Solomon's 4th year in AM 3209.
Thus we begin Solomon's 4th year in AM 3209. Solomon reigned for 40 years in Israel, thus we would add 36 years; AM 3245:

AM 3205 - Solomon's reign - AM 3245


1 Kings 11:42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

1 Kings 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

1 Chronicles 29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 9:30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

2 Chronicles 9:31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.​

Rehoboam; reigned 17 years (Rehoboam was 41 years old when he began to reign; and was therefore born 1 year after (AM 3206) Solomon began to reign (AM 3205), for Solomon reigned 40 years (1 Ki 11:42-43; 2 Chr 9:30-31 ; AM 3245)), and so come to AM 3262.

AM 3245 - Rehoboam's reign - AM 3262

1 Kings 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

1 Kings 14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

2 Chronicles 12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.​

Abijah; reigned 3 years (2 Chr 13:2)

AM 3262 - Abijah's reign - AM 3265


1 Kings 14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.​

Asa; reigned 41 years (2 Chr 16:13)

AM 3265 - Asa reigned - AM 3306


1 Kings 15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 14:1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

2 Chronicles 16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.​

Jehoshaphat; reigned 25 years (1 Ki 22:42; 2 Chr 20:31)

AM 3306 - Jehoshaphat reigned - AM 3331


1 Kings 15:24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

2 Chronicles 17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

2 Chronicles 20:31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.​

Jehoram; reigned 8 years (2 Ki 8:16-17; 2 Chr 21:5)

AM 3331 - Jehoram reigned - AM 3339


1 Kings 22:50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

2 Kings 8:16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

2 Kings 8:17 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 21:1 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 21:5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.​

Their Chronologies have erred in slight, and need to be corrected, and this study is to do just that, and helps to more accurately identify that which is given in prophecy, for God's people are to understand the times that they might know what to do. Please consider it.

Whooo Hubis indeed.

Please supply your qualifcations for makin this statement?
You have a first in math from a top university, plys similar qulifcations in Hebrew and history.

Then there is the question of why make this statement in this backwater. As a distinquished achademic there are plenty of publications willing to publicice your research.

Not at all. Simply responding to the statement with 'matters of fact'. For instance, Ussher erred slightly in a few places, as did Newton and many more others, even all the way back to the so-called 'ECF' (the 'easily confused fellows'). I have consulted and read many chronologies in my search, those in English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, etc.

'Hubris' (a word used overmuch these days), has nothing to do with my reply, and nothing to do with the intent in the reply.

Please supply your qualifcations for makin this statement?
The study itself. For instance, compare Ussher's material to the provided file in OP. See for yourself. Ussher is taken as 'standard', and very useful, and has wonderful insights, but also a few incorrect places, and so likewise others consulted. In fact, it was their own studies that brought me to mine. It was a wonderful study with some very difficult places that stretched my thinking to its limit (God's word is awesome this way), and yet God brought me through every time.

You have a first in math from a top university, plys similar qulifcations in Hebrew and history.
I have 3 Masters and 3 Doctors of the Eden school. :) There is an assumption in your question which is invalid in regards to what makes for qualification in regards God's word. It isn't our intelligence, or knowledge, just as Paul which counted all that he knew before as 'dung', but his willingness to be taught of God and to receive instruction from Heaven in the things spiritual.

Then there is the question of why make this statement in this backwater.
The question was asked 'why' here and so I simply provided that answer here. Whether the answer was given in 'backwater' (the common people's place, such as I), or from the Ivory Tower of Academia, I find that ripples spread in 'backwater' moreso than in the 'air' of Intelligencia.

As a distinquished achademic there are plenty of publications willing to publicice your research.
Good, nice to meet an 'achademic', and so please list some and feel free to share the document in OP with those places, as I have contacted several places, including AIG with the material, but find they have little time for Bible study at the 'contact' level (mail flow, etc) and merely brush things aside or shuffle it off to the abyss of non-response.

Jehoram; reigned 8 years (2 Ki 8:16-17; 2 Chr 21:5)

AM 3331 - Jehoram reigned - AM 3339 ...
Ahaziah; reigned 1 year (2 Ki 8:26; 2 Chr 22:2)

AM 3339 - Ahaziah reigned - AM 3340


2 Kings 8:24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

2 Kings 8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

2 Kings 8:26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

2 Chronicles 22:1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

2 Chronicles 22:2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.​

Athaliah; reigned 6 full years (2 Ki 11:3; 2 Chr 22:12), deposed in the 7th (2 Ki 11:4,21; 2 Chr 23:1), counting only 6 years, giving the 7th year to Joash's reign so as not to double count this year.

AM 3340 - Athaliah reigns - AM 3346/7


2 Kings 11:1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

2 Kings 11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

2 Kings 11:3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

2 Kings 11:4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son.

2 Kings 11:12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

2 Kings 11:13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

2 Kings 11:14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

2 Kings 11:15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

2 Kings 11:16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

2 Kings 11:21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

2 Chronicles 22:10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

2 Chronicles 22:12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

2 Chronicles 23:1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

2 Chronicles 23:2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 23:3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

2 Chronicles 23:11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

2 Chronicles 23:12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

2 Chronicles 23:13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

2 Chronicles 23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 23:15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.​

Joash; reigned 40 years (2 Ki 12:1; 2 Chr 24:1)

AM 3347 - Joash reigns - AM 3387


2 Kings 11:21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

2 Kings 12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

2 Chronicles 24:1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.​

You seem to be boasting about your qualification and knowledge of the scriptures and the manner in which you have acquired them, but I question your ability to actually understand the limitations of your acquired knowledge?

I worked with a person who had a doctorate/PHD and he was of no earthly use in the field of his supposed expertise. In fact he made many mistakes in his understanding within the field he was employed to work in with respect to the research he was to undertake.

Now let me question your understanding of chronology and scripture being right in every detail.

Is the following scripture correct: -

Acts 13:20: - 20 "After that He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.​

with respect to your understanding of scripture?

Shalom

I believe this is your third pushing SDA doctrines.
Your very first one was very cleverly done ...asking us what we believe...so that you can correct us and then push yours.

I believe this is your third pushing SDA doctrines.
Oh please, its a bible study for goodness sake...and so what if a particular denomination subscribes to it? He isn't paying as a paid employee of the church advertising for members. If you have no interest in chronology, and have no desire to go to such depth of study, the Adventist church is not going to hound you and condemn you for your lack of interest...just as we won't. If you don't like it, don't read it. And if you disagree with it, do so from a biblical perspective, not a prejudicial one based on your biases against Adventism.
You did the same with holy book ends. It wasn't the material you objected to, it was the church he belonged to, although I shared your concern with his seeming reluctance to engage in conversation...and he changed somewhat in that respect....although you cannot criticise the current poster for not engaging...it is others who don't want to engage with him because his questions and challenges have been at times unanswerable.

[1] Because God took the time to inspire it to be written, which in and of itself, ought to be enough to ponder that. [2] It has specific bearings upon the Everlasting Gospel itself for it deals with Creation unto Redemption (Re-Creation), [3] it deals with specific prophecies and the truthfulness of God's word, and thus deals with his character, [4] it deals with history, or the fulfillment of prophecy, in which we get to see and understand God's word played out through time, as the time in which we live is God's word slowed down to be considered, otherwise, that which God speaks is instant, and so many other reasons.

The thread is history sister Helen, and the Seventh-day Adventist does not own history, though we are chroniclers of and participatory therein. Therefore, the thread is not 'pushing SDA doctrines", except to say that we 'present truth', and what you do with it, is up to you. If you reject any truth herein, that is all on you, and nothing to do with me, for I was faithful to show you.

Your very first one was very cleverly done ...asking us what we believe...so that you can correct us and then push yours.
Again, the first thread was about truth, and every matter of faith and practice was to be compared to scripture, including Seventh-day Adventist doctrine. I (we) was not excluded from the topic of discussion, and still are not. There are several key points still under discussion there, but I find fewer and fewer persons willing to delve so deep, for they do not desire to find themselves on the side of error.

You are simply mistaken and/or simply looking for a reason to be rid of me. Either way, makes no difference, for you can do nothing against the truth, which each thread I share, is about. The first was on matters of faith and practice and whether what we individually (or even collectively) believe is true, and the other is about prophecy, which again, Seventh-day Adventists do not own, and any may reply in the thread given, and have, and all things are to be tested by the word. If your prophetic understanding is weak, or in error, then this is on you. I do not force anyone to participate in my threads. If you feel that you do not belong there, and would rather not participate, then do not. What I find interesting is that in each thread, that you 'participate' in, you have something negative to say (must be terrible to live in such a ba-humbug religion, glad I do not dwell in such an 'faith'), even about a specific group of persons who hold to truth, namely Seventh-day Adventists. It seems you are fulfilling the transgression of the rule you cited. You need a mirror check sis.

It is called, in psychological terms, "cog-dis" (cognitive dissonance), and means that when the mind/belief are directly challenged with an idea or ideas which are entirely counter to our present belief, and especially long held beliefs, several reactions take place. Fear. Anger. Lashing out, self-justification, etc (even as I once did before I knelt before God and asked God). They briefly lose the ability to logically think (and are under the impression of attack, and must 'defend' at all costs), and become temporarily 'insane', unwilling to consider the reality that is more real than the one in which they live and do not desire it, loving the old light which they lived by and shunning the new light, for it is too bright for them and prefer the older 'darkness' and withdraw. They like the 'world' they have created for themselves and are comfortable in it, especially after so long a time (in their old age, as my own earthly father and mother) and do not desire the fullness, but only the partiality.
