The Study of Time from the Beginning of the World until 2012C.E.

Isaiah 46

 9Remember the former things of old: for I am Elohim, and there is none else; I am Elohim, and there is none like me,

   10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of Elohim to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

Daniel 12 

9And He said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

   10Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Daniel 2 

20Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of Elohim forever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

   21And he changes the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

   22He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures forever.

Found in the histories of the Toltec Indians of ancient Mexico is a story of the first world that lasted 1,716 years and was destroyed by a great flood that covered even the highest mountains.  Their story tells of a few men who escaped the destruction in a “toptlipetlocali,” which means a closed chest.  Following the great flood, these men began to multiply and built a very high “zacuali,” or great tower, to provide a safe place if the world were destroyed again.  However, the languages became confused, so different language groups wandered to other parts of the world.

The Toltecs claim they started as a family of seven friends and their wives who spoke the same language.  They crossed great waters, lived in caves, and wandered 104 years till they came to Hue Hue Tlapalan (southern Mexico).  The story reports that this was 520 years after the great flood.

Some important dates in history:

Noah’s Flood 2335 B.C.E.

Exodus 1483 B.C.E.

Solomon starts Temple 1004 B.C.E.

Year 6000 = 2010-2011C.E.

The ancient Sanskrit writings of the Hindus of India record that Krishna ascended to heaven in 3102 B.C.E.

Biblical chronology records that  Enoch was translated to heaven in 3004 B.C.E.

The ancient Mayans start their calendar in 3114 B.C.E.  This is just 12 years from the year that the Hindus have Krishna ascending to heaven.

Biblical chronology records that  Enoch was translated to heaven in 3004 B.C.E.

The ancient Chinese date the Great Flood to 2357BCE during the time of Yao (YHWH).

Lieh  Zi, a Taoist who lived in the 5th century BCE; tells of an ancient Chinese  legend of one named Nuwa who repaired the heavens after a great flood.

Biblical chronology has Noah’s Flood at 2335 B.C.E.

Alexander the Great captured Babylon in 331 B.C.E.

The Chaldean priests showed Alexander all their astronomical records going back to the founding of Babylon.

The records went back 1903 years.

331 B.C.E. + 1903 years = 2234 B.C.E. for the founding of Babylon.

This was recorded in the sixth book of De Caelo (“About the heavens”) by Simplicius, a Latin writer in the 6th century AD. Porphyry (an anti-Christian Greek philosopher, c. 234–305 AD) also deduced the same number. Ussher J., Annales Veteris Testamenti, Flesher and Sadler, London, p. 5, 1654. (This work is in Latin. I am preparing a new English translation, which is scheduled to be published in September 2000. The paragraph number for this footnote is 49 in that revised work.)

The Byzantine chronicler ConstantinusManasses (d. 1187) wrote that the Egyptian state lasted 1663 years. If correct, then counting backward from the time that Cambyses, king of Persia, conquered Egypt in 526 BC, gives us the year of 2188 BC for the founding of Egypt. Ussher J., AnnalesVeterisTestamenti, Flesher and Sadler, London, p. 5, or paragraph 51 in the revised work, 1654.

According to the 4th Century bishop and historian Eusebius of Caesarea, Egialeus, king of the Greek city of Sicyon, west of Corinth in Peloponnesus, began his reign in 2089 BC, 1313 years before the first Olympiad in 776 BC. Ussher J., Annales Veteris Testamenti, Flesher and Sadler, London, p. 6, or paragraph 54 in the revised work, 1654.
Eusebius, Chronici Canones, Humphredurn Milford, London, Preface pp. 1–14, 1923. (This Latin copy was prepared by Johannes Knight Fotheringham.)

Rome conquered King Philip of Macedonia in 197 B.C.E.

Ancient Roman historians record that from the time of Ninus (Nimrod) until King Philip was 1995 years.

197 B.C.E. + 1995 years = 2192 B.C.E.

Nimrod co-reigned 62 years with his father Cush.

2192 B.C.E. + 62 years = 2254 B.C.E.

The ancient Chinese record that their first king Shun (Nimrod) was the son of Cush.  They record the start of his reign as 2254 B.C.E.

Ancient Roman historians record that nimrod began his reign in 2254 b.c.e.

The ancient Mayans record that the current age of this world ends in 2012 C.E.

Biblical chronology records the Year 6001 as the year 2011-2012 C.E.
