Just noticed the dates in my last post do not line up with what some others have calculated. Am I missing something?
Biblical Cosmology
How Old? pt 1b - Biblical Ageing and Prediction
This question is as old as time, literally. How old is our realm?
————
So far we have made it up to the dedication of Solomon's Temple, which was 2,853 years after creation. According to secular history this was somewhere between 1,000.BC and 957.BC.
When was it destroyed?
This event is recorded in II Kings 25:8-9. After this the dates are not clearly placed out for us. We need to do some decoding.
Solomon was given the throne in I Kings 2:12 immediately after his fathers death.
I Kings 6:1 says Solomon began to build the Temple during the 4th year of his reign. After seven years the build was done, the temple was built. I Kings 6:38 says this happened in the eleventh year of Solomon's reign. Solomon reigned for 40 years.
The chronology is confusing afterwards with the split of the kingdom, so I will just skip to the end. The dates used here are scattered around the two books of Kings and the two books of Chronicles.
From the death of Solomon to the end of Zedekiah's reign was 393 years and 6 months. 422.5 years after the temple was built, we will round up to 423 just to be safe.
It is the destruction of the temple by the Babylonians that marks the end of Zedekiah's reign. The temple lasted for exactly 422 and a half years.
This happens 3,276 years after creation.
After this event all the tribes of Israel go into captivity and are subject to Babylonian rule under Nebuchadnezzar. Babylon was conquered by Persia (Media) co-ruled by Darius the Mede and Cyrus 52 years after the destruction of the temple. The 70 year captivity started 18 years prior to the destruction of the temple.
Darius the Mede and Cyrus ruled for 6 years after their conquest of Babylon. After were four consecutive kings:
Cambyses, Pseudo-Smerdis, Darius I, Xerxes I
During the 6th and final year of Darius I is when the new temple was built, 20 years after the conquest of Persia.
Xerxes I ruled for 9 years. During his reign he attacks Greece half way through his rule. He was replaced by Artaxerxes I who rules for 41 years. 20 years into his reign is when he gives the decree in Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem.
From this decree can we calculate Daniels 70 week prophecy.
62 weeks into the prophecy the Messiah dies. AKA the death of Christ which happened 1990 years ago, in 32.AD.
From the decree to the death of Christ is 173,880 days when calculating it out. This translates into 476 years.
So.... Adding up all the numbers together we get 5,843 years since creation. This number is not accurate however, because the calendar system we use now is not the same back then so there is a rough area of plus or minus 100 years I'd say, to be generous.
The world is somewhere between 5,733 and 5,943 years old.
These numbers could also be wrong however, my calculations or dates could have been off somehow. The world is almost 6,000 years old anyway, and that is how Christians should see it. The original calendar system is lost, and the world very well could be closer to 6,000 than my estimates but this is calculated from the elements I could find within the Bible and other sources.

Biblical History
Before the Flood: The Fallen Angels
————
Biblical sources tell of at least three angelic rebellions (with a hint to a fourth post-flood) against God, resulting in their outcast from heaven.
We will explore all three rebellions in detail at a later date. For now, here are some brief summaries.
First Rebellion
Satan (Gadreel, Heylel, Satanail, ect) led 1/3 of all the angels in rebellion against God and His rule. As told throughout the scriptures we know his true intentions and what he has planned. Just about everyone knows who Satan or the Devil is but not many know his full story.
Satan seduced Eve and made Adam err in spite of his own failures. Consumed by his own beauty and pride, Heylel tried usurping God Himself and taking His throne. It is by my own speculation Satan convinced the other angels that God was dead or powerless due to the act of creation.
Second Rebellion
Azazel (Azael, The Wilderness) was the leader of the second rebellion. He was a high ranking Watcher angel. His rebellion is not an attempt to take the throne like Gadreel, but a willful fall from grace to mate with women and to create an empire. With him fell and untold number of angels but 9 chief angels are mentioned by name. Azazel took human wives and taught men how to make weapons, wear makeup and jewelry, and the "secrets of heaven." This led to mass fornication and perversion. Azazel was the father of many giants.
Before the flood him and all his children were bound beneath a valley that can still be visited near Jerusalem.
Third Rebellion
Semyaza (Shemhazai, Semihazah, ect) was also a high ranking Watcher angel. Seeing the seeming success of Azazel, Semyaza and 200 other angels (including 9 chiefs) made a pact to take wives of their own and manipulate DNA... Him and the other 200 angels taught men magic, astrology, signs of the sun, moon, earth, clouds, ect. We get a glimpse of their DNA manipulation in the Book of Giants.
Before the flood Semyaza, the 200 and their children were cast into the bottomless pit Tartarus.
————
Some questions remain.
How did the angels mate with humans? What were the stuff taught to the humans specifically? Do those practices still exist today? Can their mark on the world still be seen? Were the angels children giants? What were the giants like? How did this affect the two bloodlines of Seth and Cain?
The angels, their empires, their minions and their legacy will be explored in due time.
God Bless

Biblical History
Before the Flood: Technology
————
As covered in another post, he time between the creation of Adam and the flood was 1,556 years.
During this time empires rose and fell, with their leaders being the Fallen Angels.
As read within the Book of Giants we see at one time the Fallen Angels are removed from the picture, leaving the Giants to rule themselves but civil war breaks out.
What technology did these empires posses? What was their structure like before their fall? What wars were fought?
Enter in the Hindu Scriptures, Epic of Gilgamesh, and other ancient mythologies. Now these books definitely should not be our source material for Biblical knowledge, but they could hold some clues about the technology the pre-flood civilizations had.
Erich von Däniken in his book, "Chariot of the Gods" he lays out evidence from the Bible, ancient mythologies, archeology, ect that prove some sort of technological advancement in our far ancient past. The conclusions he comes to are ridiculous, as he is the guy who started the whole ancient aliens movement. The evidence he brings forward is not proof of an alien race from another planet, it is proof of an advanced pre-flood civilization!
The Hindu Scriptures talk about flying machines called "Vimana's" and large explosion-like events that wipe whole cities and armies off the map. From the Hindu scriptures we read:
“We beheld in the sky what appeared to us to be a mass of scarlet cloud resembling the fierce flames of a blazing fire. From that mass many blazing missiles flashed, and tremendous roars, like the noise of a thousand drums beaten at once. And from it fell many weapons winged with gold and thousands of thunderbolts, with loud explosions, and many hundreds of fiery wheels. Loud became the uproar of falling horses, slain by these missiles, and of mighty elephants struck by the explosions . . . Those terrible Rakshasas had the shape of large mounds stationed in the sky.” (Mahabharata)
This may not be exact proof, but could imply a tradition passed down from the sons of Noah of nuclear warfare.
In the Book of Giants we read:
[... rose up into the air] like the whirlwinds, and flew with the help of his hands like [winged] eagle [... over] the cultivated lands and crossed Solitude, the great desert, [...] And he caught the sight of Enoch and he called to him...
- DSS Book of Giants 4Q530(?)
One thing for sure, he wasn't just flapping his arms and flying. This possibly could be a reference to a wing suit or jet pack-like device. Either way, advanced technology.
The Book of Giants also records how the Fallen Angels manipulated the DNA of man and animals alike. This story is reminiscent of the Anunnaki from Sumerian mythology, who supposedly did the same thing. These Anunnaki descended from the sky, spread secret knowledge and even instructed humans to build Ziggurat temples aligned with the constellations.
Pyramids align with constellations all over the world, from Mexico, Egypt, Iraq, South East Asia... it is no wonder these sites are hotspots for the Ancient Alien crowd.
————
TL;DR
Pre-Flood empires had flying machines, nukes, DNA manipulation, and other advanced tech that is lost or forgotten. Some of this tech may have been rediscovered.
Ancient mythologies share the tradition of the tech and weapons.
What mark did they leave on the earth?

Before the Flood: Wisdom
————
Before the flood science, spiritual wisdom and religion were one in the same. The inventions to come out of this must have been beautiful compared to our modern soulless capitalist hellscape. The wisdom and spiritualism of the time were either defined by God, Cain, or the Fallen Angels. Because of this there were at least two main lines of thought, Good vs Evil, Perfect vs Corrupt.
For example:
They (Adam, Seth, Enoch) also were the inventors of that peculiar sort of wisdom which is concerned with the heavenly bodies, and their order.
- Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus 1:2:3
And the Lord summoned one of his archangels by name Pravuil, whose knowledge was quicker in wisdom than the other archangels, who wrote all the deeds of the Lord; and the Lord said to Pravuil: Bring out the books from my store-houses, and a reed of quick-writing, and give (it) to Enoch.... He wrote all these signs of all creation, which the Lord created, and wrote three hundred and sixty-six books, and handed them over to his sons...
- II Enoch 22:10; 68:3
VS
Semyaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings.
Armaros taught how to resolve enchantments.
Barakel taught astrology.
Kokabel taught the constellations (signs).
Temel taught the knowledge of the clouds (astrology).
Asradel taught the courses of the moon.
- I Enoch 8:3
... Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. ... Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron...
- Genesis 4:20-22
Through these two lines of wisdom and spirituality, spectacular weapons of war were invented to kill men and beautiful machines crafted in the praise of God.
Since the fall we as humans have been degrading spiritually and our current state is nothing like our antediluvian ancestors. Who truly knows what wisdom and knowledge we have lost...

Specific Prophecy 1
These prophecies will explain how the Bible we have now is the perfect and unchanging word of God, down to the very number of books.
————
The early Church Fathers, Essenes and even the Pharisees all talk about Ezra closing the Old Testament canon. They all have slightly different stories to tell about that, but 4 Esdras is the record of that event taking place. What does "closing the canon" even mean?
As I have discussed before, in 4 Esdras it talks about God YHWH telling Ezra to copy down books, leaving 24 of them to the public but keeping 70 of them for wise men only. There has been some confusion concerning the exact number here, but for prophecy sake we will stick with 24 and 70.
There is no doubt that we are missing most of the 70 books, the problem is there are probably hundreds of books that claim apocryphal status. This post will be dedicated to the 24 books kept to the public.
When the forty days were completed, the Most High said to me, “The first twenty-four books that you have written, make public, that those who are worthy, and those who are not, may read them; but keep the seventy separate and only allow the wise men of your people to study them. For they contain the veins of understanding, the fountains of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.
- 4 Esdras 14:45-47
These 24 books are reflected in todays Old Testament. In the Masoretic Text, which is where we get our KJV Old Testament, we have 24 books. These 24 books were split up into 39. For example, Malachi and Haggai were included in a single book called the Minor Prophets. We split the books up for ease of reading and referencing.
Why would God split up the books into exoteric and esoteric? A better question is why did God preserve the 24 in perfect condition and not the 70? When Ezra made the 24 available to the public, he was closing the canon. Keep in mind these 94 books are Old Testament works, totally excluding New Testament works.

Specific Prophecy 2
These prophecies will prove our Bible is the perfect word of God.
————
In I Corinthians the spiritual gifts are talked about, and in chapter 13 it talks about the sign gifts (such as Tongues, Spiritual Healing, Prophecy, Miracles ect) ending and being replaced by something "perfect."
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
- I Corinthians 13:10-12
The word perfect according to Strong's Concordance [G5046] is a noun, so a person place or thing, so it is not an event such as the second coming. This word is also neuter, which means there is no gender, so it is not Christ or some prophet.
What is this perfection? Is it a place? That doesn't really make sense. So it must be a thing, an object. What object is perfect? Has the gifts stopped? Yes, they have. How many people do you know actually speak in tongues and can recite entire books of the Bible even when they have never read it? They do not exist anymore, this perfect thing is here.
This perfect thing is the complete canonical Bible. The unchanging word of God that has been perfectly preserved throughout the ages. The moment Revelation was penned down by John, the sign gifts stopped. The Bible has replaced the gifts of healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues, miracles, prophecy, apostleship, and "knowledge" of Gods word.
This perfect preserved unchanging word of God includes the 24 books kept public by Ezra, and the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation.
Why did God preserve the 24 books of the Old Testament completely and not the 70? Because they were perfect and destined by God to be added to the complete work of the Bible!
What did Paul mean when he said is looking "though a glass, darkly"?
Have you ever looked out window at night and seen your reflection? It isn't perfect. When Paul was writing his epistles, the mirror was not complete, it was not perfect. When Revelation was written, it became perfect! Christians have graduated from a child to adult with the coming of the completed Bible.
The Bible is that perfect mirror.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass of the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
- II Corinthians 3:18
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
- James 1:23, 25

What is this perfection? Is it a place? That doesn't really make sense. So it must be a thing, an object. What object is perfect? Has the gifts stopped? Yes, they have. How many people do you know actually speak in tongues and can recite entire books of the Bible even when they have never read it? They do not exist anymore, this perfect thing is here.
This perfect thing is the complete canonical Bible. The unchanging word of God that has been perfectly preserved throughout the ages. The moment Revelation was penned down by John, the sign gifts stopped. The Bible has replaced the gifts of healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues, miracles, prophecy, apostleship, and "knowledge" of Gods word.
This perfect preserved unchanging word of God includes the 24 books kept public by Ezra, and the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation.
Why did God preserve the 24 books of the Old Testament completely and not the 70? Because they were perfect and destined by God to be added to the complete work of the Bible!
What did Paul mean when he said is looking "though a glass, darkly"?
Have you ever looked out window at night and seen your reflection? It isn't perfect. When Paul was writing his epistles, the mirror was not complete, it was not perfect. When Revelation was written, it became perfect! Christians have graduated from a child to adult with the coming of the completed Bible.
The Bible is that perfect mirror.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass of the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
- II Corinthians 3:18
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
- James 1:23, 25

Specific Prophecy 3
These prophecies will prove our Bible is the perfect word of God.
————
Some people look at Catholic, Ethiopic or Orthodox Bibles and think "their Bible is more complete!" or see apocryphal books like Enoch and think "The Catholics/Pharisees took it out of the Bible!" No, the Catholics and Pharisees did not take it out of the Bible. Ezra did.
In fact, there is a prophecy in I Enoch chapter 104 that prohibits it from being joined together with the Bible!
But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or abridge anything from my words, but write them all down truthfully, all that I first testified concerning them, then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. These books will be given to them, and they will believe and rejoice in them; and then all the righteous who have learned the paths of uprightness from them will be rewarded.
- I Enoch 104:11-13
This prophecy specifically sets I Enoch apart from the rest for a reason. I Enoch was obviously one of the 70 set apart by Ezra.
————
TL;DR pt 1-3
The Bible (specifically in English the KJV Bible) excluding any Apocryphal works is the unchanged perfect word of God.
In our search for the 70 we must keep in mind that they are for whatever reason not perfect. It could be as simple as a spelling mistake or mistranslation of a word, who knows. Some texts are missing completely, some are in fragments, some are altered, some are only folklore and some are total fakes. We must weed them out but keep the canonical Bible free from any apocryphal writings.

Biblical History
Pre-Flood Archeology - small items
What did the old world leave behind?
————
What do I mean when I say the pre-flood civilization had advanced tech? I don't mean iPhones and VR headsets. Don't get me wrong, they had land vehicles, flying machines and weapons of mass destruction, but their tech evolved in different ways.
Here we have a bell found in coal that is said to be 180 million years old that depicts an angelic figure, possibly reptilian on the top. This could be proof of Seraphim being worshiped as gods or venerated in some way.
We also have here an iron pot found in coal, a mental vase/candle stick holder found in rock, and a hammer also found in rock. The tip of the wood from the hammer has turned to coal.
The dates attached to these items are obviously fake, as carbon dating is not accurate whatsoever. There are other smaller items but these are the better known ones.
These are only the small artifacts, just wait until you see the big ones.
