“And you, Daniel, close [up] these things and seal the book until the time of the End; many will wander, and knowledge will increase.”
– (Daniel12:4)
“And he said, ‘Go, Daniel, because closed [up] and sealed are these things until the time of the End. [They] will become clear, and will be clarified, and many will be refined, and [they] will convict evil [ones], and all evil [ones] will not understand, and [those who] contemplate will understand.’”
– (Daniel12:9-10)
XX. Mathematics never lies: The ancient Babylonian / Hebrew calendar is arguably the most accurate and predictable lunisolar calendar system that exists, and can be used to proleptically calculate both its Julian and Gregorian equivalents that is precise to the very day. It can then be utilized to determine the precise, absolute, astronomical, mathematical, historical, ancient chronology of the Bible (to the very day) that is anchored to this ancient Babylonian / Hebrew mathematical measurement of astronomy. This subsequently can be used to recalibrate (and thus precisely synchronize) both Assyrian / Babylonian (i.e. Mesopotamian) as well as Egyptian chronologies and timelines to the Hebrew Bible’s precise, definitive chronology (and not vice-versa).
XX. This recalibration provides precise confirmations and/or corrections (as well as fresh insights) to the Babylonian vs. Julian dates specified in Parker and Dubberstein’s lunar tables1 (that according to Walker (1997) have never been seriously questioned) thus making it possible to gain further insights into ancient Babylonian intercalation practices, namely whether their intercalation month for any particular leap year used an extra month Ululu / Elul or Addaru / Adar as “arbitrarily” decreed by the king upon the advice of his priest-astronomers.
XX. This in turn can lead Assyriologists to ascertain a precise year for the advent of the method of predictive, mathematical calculation of – and subsequent standardization of – the correct fixed 19-year “Metonic cycle” intercalary system of Babylonian / Hebrew years (which evidently seems to have been established as standard practice during the exact time of the events recorded in the Book of Daniel) during the Persian Achaemenid Era, i.e. from the 10th Regnal Year of Xerxes I (476 BCE (Julian)), becoming permanent by 381 BCE (Julian).2
XX. Moreover, this corrected, synchronized, and recalibrated ancient chronology can be used to unlock and mathematically determine the precise dates of many other events across recorded ancient history both within as well as outside of the Bible including (but not limited to):
1. The Exodus (Saturday 18 April 1497 BCE (Julian));3 4 5 6 7
2. The receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai (Sunday 07 June 1497 BCE (Julian)),8 9
3. The wandering in the desert for 40 years (1497 – 1457 BCE (Julian));10 11
4. The deaths of Miriam (March – April 1458 BCE (Julian)),12 13 14 and Aharon (Monday 21 July 1458 BCE (Julian));15 16 17
5. The final address of Moses to the Nation of Israel (Wednesday 14 January 1457 BCE (Julian));18 19 20 21
6. The death of Moses (Thursday 19 February 1457 BCE (Julian));22 23 24
7. The Entering of the Promised Land (Monday 22 March 1457 BCE (Julian));25 26 27 28
8. The period of the Judges;
9. The reigns of King David (1061 – 1022 BCE (Julian))29 and King Solomon (1021 – 982 BCE (Julian)),30 as well as all of the Hebrew kings of the Divided Kingdom (982 – 586 BCE (Julian))31 32 thus definitively correcting Thiele’s proposed chronology of the Bible which (despite it being extremely problematic with its clear errors in logic, reasoning, and consistency) has been the standard, most-accepted consensus view among the majority of scholars within established academia including the majority of Assyriologists and Egyptologists (through today and until now) simply because of lack of a better alternative;
10. The 31st (FINAL) Regnal Year of Yoshiyahu (Josiah)33 is hereby to be corrected from the 17th Regnal Year of Nabopolassar (609 – 608 BCE (Julian)) to precisely the 18th Regnal Year of Nabopolassar (608 – 607 BCE (Julian));34 == Year 0 Accession Year of Yeho-ahaz (Jeho-ahaz / Shalum) (i.e. 3 months) == Year 0 Accession Year of Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim / Elyakim) == YEAR ONE (1) OF SERVITUDE;35
11. The Exile of Daniel, Hananyah, Mishael, and Azaryah in the 3rd Regnal Year of Yehoyakim (Jehoikim) == the Year 0 Accession Year of Nebuchadnezzar (605 – 604 BCE (Julian));36
12. The 1st Capture of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II (Saturday 16 March 597 BCE (Julian)));37 38
13. The Exile of Yehoyachin (Jehoiachin) (Saturday 23 March 597 BCE (Julian)) == YEAR ONE (1) OF EXILE OF YEHOYACHIN (JEHOIACHIN);39 40
14. Any and all events recorded in the biblical chronologies of the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings in the Hebrew Scriptures (i.e. the Hebrew Bible: the “Old Testament”) that include precise dates such as the arrival of Nebuzaradan to Jerusalem (Sunday 15 July 586 BCE (Julian)),41 42 43 and his subsequent destroying of Solomon’s First Temple (Wednesday 18 July 586 BCE (Julian));44 45 46
15. The final week and days of Jesus Christ including the date of Palm Sunday (Sunday 29 March 33 CE (Julian))47 48 and the Last Supper (the evening / night of Sunday 29 March 33 CE (Julian));49 50 51 52 53
16. The arrest of Jesus Christ after nightfall following the Last Supper (the night of Sunday 29 March 33 CE (Julian) through early morning hours of Monday 30 March 33 CE (Julian) after midnight);54 55 56 57 58 59
17. The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ (Friday 03 April 33 CE (Julian));60 61
18. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Sunday 05 April 33 CE (Julian));62 63
19. The seamless integration of this same ancient Babylonian / Hebrew (i.e. the Standard Mesopotamian calendar by this time) calendar system that continued as the standard calendar system during the Era of Contracts (Era Contractuum) also known as the Era of Alexander (311 – 63 BCE (Julian)) which began in the Greek / Seleucid period and remained the mandatory, standard calendar for the Jewish community throughout Talmudic and Middle Ages (e.g. Maimonides / Rambam), that subsequently seamlessly transitioned into today’s modern Hebrew calendar system as Anno Mundi (AM)64 65 up to the present day.
XX. For example, the date of the death of Alexander the Great, 29 Ayyaru / Iyar in the Babylonian record and previously dated to 10 / 11 June 323 BCE (Julian), is confirmed by the proleptic Hebrew calendar as Monday 11 June 323 BCE (Julian), i.e. Hebrew 30 Sivan 3438 AM, because in that year the Hebrew calendar ran one (1) month ahead of the Babylonian.66
XX. As a direct result of observation of the mathematics of this ancient chronology, it becomes clearly evident without a doubt that the mysterious, elusive identity of the heretofore unknown historical figure of “Darius the Mede” can now be confirmed as none other than Darius the Great (r. 521 – 486 BCE (Julian)) himself (i.e. hidden in plain sight). Thus the Book of Daniel must be read and correctly understood in this context.
XX. Consequently, this synchronization of ancient historical chronologies will allow scholars of Jewish studies to recalibrate the events recorded throughout Jewish history in order to find and account for the so-called “missing ~165 years”, and thus determine and update precise dates.
XX. Moreover, this mathematical, lunisolar Babylonian / Hebrew calendar can then be used to fix precisely the day of every recorded ancient lunar and solar eclipse catalogued by NASA via Espenak and Meeus,67 68 (and others before them)69 as well as to systematically determine more precise ancient values for the critical astronomical variable, ΔT (Delta T), which reflects the irregularities of the Earth’s rate of rotation and its measurement throughout history. It should be stressed that this variable, ΔT (Delta T), has particular relevance, significance, and critical importance for the study and measurement of times and positions of ancient eclipses.
XX. Furthermore, this same Babylonian / Hebrew calendar system is the key to unsealing the Book of Daniel, and specifically chapter 9 with its Messianic prophecy70 that Sir Robert Anderson71 (as well as both ancient Jewish and Christian scholars before him) attempted to interpret and decipher as a sealed prediction of the exact day of the coming of the Messiah. Applying this same Hebrew calendar (together with a correct literal reading of the cryptic Hebrew text), this passage in the Book of Daniel can be unsealed to correctly interpret, reveal, and confirm the precise mathematical prediction and fulfillment of the exact year of Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist (28 CE (Julian)),72 73 as well as both the exact year and month of Jesus’ Crucifixion (33 CE (Julian)).74 75 76
XX. Therefore – for the first time in history – all of this correctly, thoroughly, and precisely proves both mathematically and scientifically not only that the Hebrew Bible is the most accurate historical book of ancient history (including the Book of Daniel), and not only that Jesus (Yeshua) was the Promised Messiah, but also by direct implication: It literally, undeniably, thoroughly, precisely, and irrevocably proves the existence of the Creator, GOD, for all to see with their own eyes, and scientifically (and mathematically) verify for themselves.
