I. THE PRE-CONDITIONS, FUNDAMENTS AND BASICS

Why is it so important "to draw" a chronology within time (and space) throughout Bible History - throughout history at all?

Romans 3:9-18

In christian faith, it is fundamental to understand the "sin concept". All men are under the sin. There is nobody, no one, no human on this planet who is not a "sinner". All men are "sinners".

And therefore, death is the "bottom line" for our "sinfulness". Out of this "sin-guilt concept" emerges the whole biblical message.

Romans 5:14,6:23

Death has been introduced through human free choice. Man was granted a free will when he was created. Man chose death, according to the Bible, which will culminate initially in the personal death of every creature (whom Man was granted to be in charge of) and finally in the destruction of the whole planet earth (maybe the whole universe) which was granted to an angelic supervisor named Satan, the serpent or the dragon. Since Adams free choice of disobedience, our planet earth, the nature, the environment has been constantly deteriorating.

Contrary to this concept stand our contemprorary visions about the possible and impossible achievements of modern science and technology.

Romans 1:22

Science and technology are "looking forward" for a better tomorrow. "They" are delighted in new inventions, new technology, a better life style, a better human environment and more comfortable living conditions. The "growing economy" is one major concern of today's headlines and magazine articles.

Matthew 5:18, 24:35

While Jesus is talking about a NEW CREATION and the PASSING AWAY of this WORLD, today's generation "is looking forward" for progress and "eternal" success.

Revelation 21:1

The Bible presents a wholesome world "in the beginning", which was made by God who lives independently from us. Contrary to that record stands today's man made theory about the history of this planet. It imagines an earth which made itself up. A "self-made" earth, which is a god by itself and which was created by itself through "coincidential" forces.

Are you a god or are you just "an image" of God (what the Bible states about man) ?

(Genesis 1:26-27)

2 Chronicle 19:7

The partial truth, that "man is god", has been developed (or rather corrupted from ancient Noahic Faith), some 4,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. Later on, it was "re-born" into the eastern religions, just some 2,500 years ago and today it has found its top-selling place in the New Age/ Occult book selling market.

This Bible Chronology clearly states that there is and was a plan for the earth history and human history for present, past and future, from eternal past and into eternal future.

John 14:6

The culmination of all biblical message is salvation. And salvation is given through ONE person. As well as destruction has been given through ONE person. For since death came through ONE man, the first man, Adam, the resurrection comes also through ONE man, the seventy-sixth man from Adam, who is the seventy-seventh man from God, who is the son of God. As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:21-22)

Romans 5:12,15

1 Corinthians 15:21-22

That is, why I come to speak to the point, to the clue of this study: JESUS, the Christ, the Messiah.

Have you ever heard about "a personal relationship" one can have with Jesus Christ? Did anybody tell you yet, that you can make a decision in and for your life, when you invite Jesus in to your heart and into your life? This is the most important fact about Christianity. God is more important than us. As we invite Jesus into our heart, our life will be changed completely. Through that step, we make God's covenant of life valid for us. The eternal covenant of Christ's body and blood, the bread and vine will become reality for us. Through that step, we accept that Christ Jesus died for us personally on the cross. That is why this text has been written, so that everyone who reads it may experience God in his life.

James 2:22

In 1991, when I heard about this very special prayer one must make in order to become a real Christian, I became very excited. Maybe so that I have heard it earlier. But on this peculiar day and date, I heard it again - and best of all - my heart heard it again. So I prayed as I am now writing and praying that YOU out there shall hear it again. When I (or actually my heart) heard it on that very special day in September 1991: I did not let it simply be with hearing, I also did something. After faith, ACTION is inevitable. Therefore, do it, pray it - right now! Decision and prayer becomes the deed of salvation. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the heart is the capstone for salvation.

Psalm 95:7

"If you hear his voice today, DON'T DELAY .......".

Then, after I heard this joyful message, I went into my lonely room and prayed exactly that prayer:

Romans 10:13

I want "to challenge" you, God. You who tell us that you are our personal spiritual father, our daddy, our dear loved daddy. I prayed: "God, if you really exist, then show yourself. I want you to become "the center" of my life and heart."

"God, show me, that you hear my voice and my thoughts! Give me evidence, that you exist. Come into my heart, if you exist. Jesus, if you really exist, then come into my heart. If you, Jesus really existed 2,000 years ago as a human being on this planet, then, come right now into my heart and life. I want to experience you, right now. But if you don't exist and if you are just an empty "illusion" which I made up by myself, then, I do not want to hear from you. I will be content without your answer (because then, I would be lonely and I would just talk to myself and my prayer would be a monologue in vain)

But no, the joyful spirit, the Holy Spirit came after I prayed exactly that prayer. I became incredibly excited and started to jump into the air on my bed - full of gladness and joy - like John the Baptist did, as he was leaping as a baby in the womb of his mother when Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus visited her.

Luke 1:41,44

MAN, God is real ! Go ahead and do it ! Just do it ! DO IT

To be seggregated from sin & Satan

from death and the devil

from hell and Hades

1 John 3:8

( the reason the son of God came was to destroy the devil's work )

To be joined with joy & life

with love and glory

with patience and endurance

which is from God, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth

forever and ever

II. INTRODUCTION & TIME TABLE GRAPHIC

John 2:4

Jesus said "my time has not yet come" at the beginning of his ministry to his mother and disciples indicating the prophecies concerning his final entrance to Jerusalem.

Jesus knew exactly through the voice of the Holy Spirit when the point of time would come WHEN he had to go to Jerusalem. The clock of God's salvation plan was ticking and is still ticking........ and will be ticking till the very bitter end.

Proverbs 8:12-36

Genesis 3:15

Jesus is the key to knowledge and understanding. He is called the "WISDOM" in the Books of Proverbs. He is also called the "SEED of God" in the Book of Genesis who was going to destroy the work of the serpent.

III. THE EARTHLY LIFE OF JESUS DATED THREE TIMES

solemnly scientific: our WORLD CALENDAR

[ BIBLIOGRAPHY: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 15th Editon 1976, Knowledge in Depth, ROME ANCIENT, p. 1111]

The Scythian Roman Catholic Dionysius Exiguus has been comissioned by the Pope in ca. 525 BC to establish a chronology since the time of Christ. Dionysius Exiguus took biblical data and tried to combine it with "worldly knowledge" (man acquired knowledge). This mis-match lead to the confusion which has been repeated throughout the history of theology. Biblical data cannot be understood through the glasses of man acquired knowledge (science & technology). It can only be understood through the one who issued it, through the God who reveals himself through HIS Holy Spirit, when he is earnestly and seriously sought through prayer. The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The God of Israel.

Dionysius Exiguus combined the first year of King Tiberius' reign with the statement in verse 1 chapter 3 Gospel of Luke:

"The fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar"

Unfortunately, verse 1 chapter 3 Gospel of Luke does not refer to the year when King Tiberius started his reign (after he has been 'inaugurated') which was in 14 AD. Instead, it refers to the year when Tiberius has been adopted as son (and successor) of the emperor Augustus in the year 4 AD. Therefore this passage refers to a date which is exactly 10 years earlier in world history.

Isaiah 55:9

"The fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar" in scripture refers to the year 18 AD <= 4 AD + 14 years (future) .

In fact, Dionysius Exiguus set the year of Christ's birth ten years ahead through this scripture misinterpretation. Furthermore, Exiguus started his chronology numeration with year 1 instead of year 0. Later on in history one year was added, the introduction of the year 0 into world history.

The final equation for the calculation of Christ's year of birth goes like this:

- 10 + 1 = - 9 : ---> 10 BC + 1 year (future) = 9 BC

the combined biblical-scientific way: the STAR OF BETHLEHEM

chapter 2, p. 331-339 ]

A bright star was sighted by some eastern scientifists, well-versed in astronomy but heavy engaged in occultism and astrology. Johannes Kepler, a German astronom recognized the same constellation in the year 1603 AD. He identified it as the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter occured in the year 1603 AD. Through biblical knowledge he figured that the same occurance might have happened some 1,600 years earlier: The record of the visit of Christ by the Magi from the east. Kepler calculated that the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter occured the last time in 6 BC (no year 0). Indeed, as proven by modern astronomy the conjunction of the planets Saturn and Jupiter occured during three consecutive periods in 7 BC: May 29 - June 8, September 26 - October 6, December 5 - 15. After recognizing the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, the eastern astrologers understood through their occultic power that a mighty emperor would rise from the land of Israel. They decided to go there in order to pay tribute to that king. The eastern men went westward, following the star as they sighted it the second time during their journey. Through the occultic power which is controlled by the fallen master angel Satan (guardian cherub: Ezekiel 28:14), the eastern men got to know that the future ruler had been born two years earlier (Matthew 2:16). They told everything king Herod in Jerusalem. Herod tried to deceive them. He gave the order to search for the future king so that he himself could honer HIM. When the eastern men were on their way to Bethlehem, they sighted the conjunction for the third and last time (Matthew 2:9-10).

After Jesus' birth in a manger (Luke 2:7), Maria and Joseph had moved into a house and were staying in Bethlehem for the next 24 months or so. Two years after his birth, the eastern men found Jesus who had been staying with his parents in a house (Matthew 2:11). Then the astrologers paied tribute to Jesus and avoided visiting Herod because God had warned them not to do so in a dream. The kneeling down in front of the feet of the child Jesus by these eastern astrologers is the sign for the future event when Satan and his whole evil kingdom including all occultism, astrology, evil religions, and every kind of sin and evilness will be subdued by the power of God through Jesus Christ.

The final equation for the calculation of Christ's year of birth goes like this:

- 7 - 2 = - 9 : ---> 7 BC - 2 year (past) = 9 BC

The magicians from the east were deeply involved in occultism. Through their spiritualism they gained wisdom - wisdom which was forbidden by God - long ago.

Why is occultism a "sin", a dreadful thing to God ? Occultism is the access to supernatural power - supernatural power which is controled by the "fallen angel" Satan (Isaiah 14:12). The one who once was the highest minister to God, the guardian cherub (Ezekiel 28:14) in the garden of Eden (Ezekiel 28:13). He claimed to be equal to God (Isaiah 14:13-14) decided to rebel against God. Therefore he became the "destroyer" the "ancient serpent" (Revelation 12:9). He used his power and appeared as a talking serpent to Eve (Genesis 3:1-15). And he succeeded. He still uses his power to destroy man and earth. Likewise the master angel has been given the ability to talk through an animal in a human voice when he was created by God, so did God himself use his power to speak in a human voice through an animal as recorded in Numbers 22:28.

Occultism provides a spiritual bondage between man and Satan. Are you in such a spiritual bondage? Any means who sets our mind out of order like Autogene Training, Yoga and any rituals (not in the name of JESUS) provide supernatural access of Satan to us. Any engagement in supernatural practices like the HOROSCOPE or other future telling mediums like palm reading and other New Age engagement allow Satan to have supernatural access to us.

Have you ever practiced any occultism? In the name of Jesus Christ any of these bondages can be and will be broken. All power is given unto him in the heavens and on earth.

Call upon HIM. He will help! He can break up also any written blood contract with Satan. He has the power to destroy death (1 Corinthians 15:26, Revelation 20:14) and the devil (Hebrews 2:14, Revelation 20:10). He is able to cure us from ANY desease (Matthew 11:5): physical, spiritual and within our whole soul.

Decide that you want to be set free from all these bondages, turn away as a servant of the evil one - which you still are without Jesus in your heart. Pray that God reveals himself as reality. Do it. Just DO IT.

They will overcome the devil by the blood of JESUS - a name which was unknow to our forefathers, but which has been given by the angel Gabriel to Mary (Luke 1:26-31) -

They will overcome the devil by the word of their testimony

They will not love their lifes so much as to shrink form death

(Revelation 12:11)

the solemnly biblical way: THE Bible Chronology

The year 586 BC is the only point of time, where world history intersects directly with Bible history. The event of the destruction of the 1st temple of the LORD by king Nebuchadnezzar is the only point in time where a world history event meets flawlessly with the history of Israel, recorded in scripture.

This event makes the hinge between THE Bible Chronology and the world's chronology. 586 BC is the time of the pre-existing Anti-Christ, king Nebuchadnezzar, who lets his image (and himself) be worshipped (Daniel chapter 3). The same will happen to the whole world (which will be figuratively named Babylon) when the final Anti-Christ will be set into power (Revelation 13:14-15).

From 586 BC, there are 70 years until the dedication of the 2nd temple of the LORD (516 BC ) and there are 540 years thereafter until the crucifixion of Christ Jesus (24 AD).

The 70 years from 586-516 BC are revealed in Daniel 9:2. The 540 years from 516 BC- 24 AD are revealed in Daniel 9:24-26.

Daniel 9:24-26

Leviticus 25:8-11

70 'sevens' are 490 years: 516-26 BC;

7 'sevens' are 49 years: 26 BC - 23 AD;

62 'sevens' are 1 year and 10 weeks: 23-24 AD

John 2:20

In the year 26 BC, Herod the Great receives a decree by the Roman Empire to rebuild the 3rd temple of the LORD in Jerusalem. This is what is meant with the "issuing of the decree" in Daniel 9:25

The 70 'sevens' are 70 x 7 years (490 years) until the temple of the LORD is started to be rebuilt. The 7 'sevens' are 7 x 7 years (49 years) during which the temple of the LORD is being under construction. At the beginning of Jesus' ministry, 46 years of these 49 years had been passed ( John 2:20 ). In the year 23 AD, John the Baptist was beheaded and Jesus starts his final year of ministry. The 62 'sevens' are the 62 last weeks in the ministry of Jesus. It is a Year of Jubilee, when Jesus was crucified on Mount Zion. The 62 'sevens' is the final Year of Jubilee. (Leviticus 25:8-55). Jesus is being glorified through the cross. (John 7:39). Not because God delights in letting a human die or because Jesus is delighted to let himself be murdered - but because God is a righteous God. Because he defined HIMSELF the price for our "sins". Through the death of the righteous Christ, sin and Satan is destroyed, death and destruction defeated, hell and Hades eliminated. Satan may believe that he still got a chance to establish his kingdom. Therefore, he will be given a short period of time to establish his kingdom. The kingdom of the Anti-Christ with Satan as "god" will last exactly 7 years. After that Satan and the whole world will be eliminated.

Jesus Christ destroyed death through the worst brutal murdering by humans controlled by Satan.

Death on the cross has been fullfilled to pay the highest price payable, exceeding all earthly values. He did it - because we couldn't have done it ourselves, because we are unworthy to deserve eternal fellowship with God.

John 19:17

Through the combination of the Gospel of Luke and John, we understand that Jesus was 33 years old, when he has been glorified on the cross of Golgotha (the Aramaic word for skull).

Luke 3:23 states that the LORD was "about" 30 years old when he started his ministry. The word "about" refers to a plus-minus of a view months or weeks! Three Passover feasts are stated in the Gospel of John:

The first: John 2:13,23, 4:45

The second: John 6:4

The third: John 11:55, 12:1, 13:1, 18:28,39, 19:14

The final equation for the calculation of Christ's year of birth goes like this:

586 BC + 70 years (future) + 540 years (future) = 24 AD

24 AD - 3 year (past) - 30 years (past) = 9 BC

FIGHTING THE THOUGHTS caused byEVOLUTIONISM

our goal: 2 Corinthians 10:5

"we demolish arguments and every pretension (the evolution theory) that set itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ"

our confidence in Christ: 1 Corinthians 1:25

"the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom (science and technology)"

our hope in God's righteous judgement in the future: Isaiah 29:14

"the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish"

GODLY KNOWLEDGE:

cavemen were hunters, thus meat eaters (Genesis 9:3). Thus, they were descendents of Noah (3036-2086 BC). See generation list: THE BIBLE CHRONOLOGY TABLE: OLD & NEW TESTAMENT: from ADAM to JESUS. Their cultural standard was deteriorating due to the severe weather conditions (the "ice age"), caused by the global climatic cooling during and after the 1-year global flood (2437-36 BC) including atmosphere destruction, underground soil destruction, earth split-up into continents and continental shift.

The destruction of the water atmosphere (which guaranteed a human life span on earth of more than 800 years by means of solar ray protection) resulted in the building of today's cloud atmosphere, causing rain to fall which was unknown to the generations before the flood. Global cooling (likewise global warming is occuring today) happened after the world's first destruction (first judgement of God), which happened during the global flood and thereafter, resulting in the development of gigantic ice masses in mountainous regions as well as the polar zones, to be known as "ice ages" occuring in 2400 BC and thereafter. The human life span was promised to be cut down to 120 years (Genesis 6:3)

dinosaurs were destroyed in great numbers through the global flood like all other land animals and humans (living before the flood, before 2437 BC). However, each kind of them survived through the world's first zoo: Noah's ark. The severe climatic change after the flood limited their population. They were known as dreadful beings (the dragon sagas) and they were killed and extinguished by men throughout time until the middle ages (ca. 1500 AD).
fossils and fuel are products caused by severe pressure and covering of land masses and sediments due to God's jugment of this planet, destroying every living thing, men and mice.
racism caused by the thinking that man has been improving in his genetical information throughout time, thus coming to existance and sustaining himself by means of biological and genetical competiton.
atheism caused by the thinking that man came to being through "coincidental" forces, man determined as a descendant from animal, qualifying man as a "kind" of animal.
Jupiter a corrupted form of the name of Japheth, son of Noah, (a human) deified (made into a God) by his descendants, the Roman and Greek people.
