Dear Kathy, We can only approximate the number, but 12,000 is a *conservative* guess when considering the fact that nearly all grown persons in the nation were...
Dear Kathy: Bruce is correct in his assessment there were about 5,000 men, and probably well over 10,000 people counting also women and children. (Matthew...
Does the 430 years in Exodus 12:40-41 refer to the time spent in Egypt only, or to the time spent in Canaan also ? Although it only mentions Egypt (so not a...
Dear Richard, I hope this helps. The scriptures mark two periods that *end* with the deliverance of Israel from Egypt Nisan 14, 1513 B.C.E., namely "the ...
... -- Yes, many Bible footnotes say the 400 years is an approximation; but it fits exactly if it refers to Isaac and Ishmael being 30 years after the covenant...
Richard: It is not an approximation. From 1943 B.C.E. to the Exodus. Exodus 12:40, 41 states that “the dwelling of the sons of Israel, who had dwelt in...
Richard, I was in error regarding the 400 yr. time of affliction. From the time Ishmael "poked fun" persecutingly at Isaac, the firstborn son of Abraham and...
... Yes, Anstey, Jones, Mauro and Ussher all agree on this, and they all agree on 215 years from Abram leaving Haran for Canaan on the death of Terah (2083...
While I am not an expert, I took the liberty to "poetically" translate Ephesians chapters 1-3. There are still areas where I have some doubts about my own...
Dear Richard: You Wrote:Â I will not be able to correlate these dates with BC dates until I reach synchronicities with known historical events like the years...
... When I come to consider BC dates, I will be sure to read your extract. Of course, by definition, one must look outside the Bible for BC dates, just as one...
Dear Edward, I am not sure you realize that your extract was cut off. Regarding the reliability of the widely accepted Chronological tome of Claudius Ptolemy...

Since you have brought this up, I’ve been working on a timeline chart of my own so that I would have a reference of when events happened. In particular, I...
... Your document came through fine. Many thanks for sending it. I am only going from creation, forward in time, at the moment. When I reach a historic...
Dear Richard and Cynthia: Pivotal Dates. Reliable Bible chronology is based on certain pivotal dates. A pivotal date is a calendar date in history that has a...
Thank you, Edward, If one uses these pivotal dates (14 C.E.; 455 B.C.E.; 539 B.C.E. [then 70 yr exile, counting back to 607 B.C.E. as the starting point for...
Good show, James. Excellent scholarship is shown in those articles! About time such splendid examination is presented and explained. Rolf Furuli's two books...
Dear Edward, Isn’t the Jewish calendar a lunar calendar and the system referred to as BCE a solar system? That seems to make the calculations much more...
All the credit sure does not belong to me, but I am glad you are intrigued by the dating and information within. When you go against the grain, as some writers...
... How does that work ? Jerusalem was only destroyed once by Nebuchadnezzar. He didn't need to do it twice. -- -- Richard Mallett Eaton Bray, Dunstable ...
Richard: I do not mean to presume, and if I am wrong Steve, please correct me. But I believe Steve is pulling our chain, with a little sarcasm. It isn't...
At the moment, I'm following Anstey here. Mauro follows him also, as he does in most things. Anstey says that the Israelites were in the neighbourhood of...
... Ed, no sarcasm at all. Just anti-tradition. The problem with those articles of the Watchtower is that they violate the core principles of Jehovah's ...
