Patriarchs



The exceptions reveal interesting details to catch our attention

Some dates hide a mystery

Bible years are 360 days long.

The time allocated to great Tribulation is 42 months or 1260 days. That means 1 month is 30 days.

REVELATION 11:2  “But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”

11:3  “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.”

A score is twenty.

 

Patriarch's

Name                        Birth       Death    1st son born                     Age


1.  Adam                    0**          930         130                                 930    Adam left Eden around 4300 BC

Time on Earth started when Adam sinned and was thrown out of Eden. That is day zero.

2.  Seth                       130         1042       105                                912

3.  Enos                      235         1140        90                                 905

4.  Cainan                  325         1235        70                                 910

6.  Jared                     460         1422       162                               962

7.  Enoch   **7th      622         987          65                                 365 **     Days of the new year prophesied.

Enoch represents the seventh church age that is caught up to Heaven. He did not die but went straight to Paradise.

His great life of 365 years was honoured by making 365 days the length of a year after the Flood.

JUDE 1:14   And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Enoch was caught up to Paradise 69 years before Noah was born.

Bible years were always 360 days. The Flood caused a rapid ice age.

God knocked the Earth further away from the Sun into freezing space. Our year is now thus 5.24 days longer.

The South Pole has ten times more ice than the North Pole. This helps the Earth tilt at an angle which causes our seasons. Hot and cold air meet to cause rain. There was no rain before the Flood.

In great Tribulation the earth will be knocked closer to the Sun which will scorch the Earth and melt all the ice and flood the coasts.

Then the Earth will be upright on its axis and a year will be 360 days again.

Name                        Birth       Death    1st son born                      Age

8.  Methuselah         687         1656        187                                   969

Flood was about 2680 BC, the year Methuselah died. That was 1656 Bible years after Adam sinned,

9.  Lamech                874         1651        182                                    777 **

The number 7 symbolizes 7th church age. The days will be cut short to save the righteous.

Lamech's life was cut short to save him from the Flood.

     ROMANS 9:28   For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness:

because a short work will the Lord  make upon the earth.

     MATTHEW 24:22   And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:

but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Adam dies at age 930.  Enoch, Methuselah, and Lamech could talk to Adam to hear the truth.

First patriarch born after Adam's death is Noah.

We are still measuring ages from when Adam was thrown out of Eden, as day zero.

Name                          Birth       Death    1st son born                  Age

10.  Noah                    1056        2006       502  **                         950          10th generation. End of preFlood world.

GENESIS 5:32  And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

No accurate dates for his sons, as three sons are all listed.
GENESIS 7:6    And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
GENESIS 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

Two years after the Flood, Shem was 100 years old.

God makes a Covenant with the Earth. A rainbow of 7 dominant colours will stop any future flood's total destruction.

This represents 7 church ages when God will prevent Roman Catholic error from drowning out the truth of Scripture.

Name                        Birth       Flood age                Flood year after Adam's sin

10.  Noah                  1056        600                         1656                                   Flood was about 2680 BC

Ten indicates the end. The parable of the ten virgins indicate the church at the end.

Gentile history in Daniel's image ends when the stone smites the 10 toes.

Ten military dictators give their might and power to the end time Pope to enable him to rule the world.

REVELATION 17:12  “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”

Noah and Shem could talk to Methuselah and Lamech to hear about Adam.

Noah waited 500 years for a son. Thus Shem would live 500 years after the Flood.

Shem could speak to 10 generations, ending in Isaac.

Name                        Birth       Death    1st son                     Age

1.  Shem                    1558        2158       100                         600

2.  Arphaxad             1658       2096       35                           438

3.  Salah                     1693       2126       30                           433

4.  Eber                      1723        2187       34                           464

5.  Peleg                     1757        1996       30                           239      The Earth was divided.

The ice was melting and finally flooded the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska.

America became a separate wilderness for the 1620 Pilgrim fathers who fled Catholic persecution.

The white shows the last Ice Age covering the ocean. The green shows the ice covering the land.

Siberia, the coldest country today, was free from ice. The red dot is the North Pole. God shifted the ice onto America to leave Turkey ice-free for Noah to land. (red zigzag).

Name                        Birth       Death    1st son                     Age

6.  Reu                        1787       2026       32                           239

7.  Serug                     1819       2049       30                           230

8.  Nahor                    1849       1997        29                           230

9.  Terah                     1878       2083       130 **                    205

The first 60 years of Terah's life is left out because he was in the wrong place, Ur. God wanted Terah to move.

When we are in a denominational church organization, God will leave us out of His Bride.

God wants us to move out of the condemned organized churches of the Laodiceans, back to the early church of the New Testament that was established by the apostles.

10. Abraham              2008       2183       100                         175      10th generation after Noah

Truth was previously transmitted verbally due to the previous long lifespans.

This ends when Abraham's life gets written up in Scripture.

God then makes a new Covenant with Abraham and his natural seed, Isaac.

Name                        Birth       Death    1st son                      Age

1.  Isaac                      2108       2288       60                           180     10th generation after Shem

Truth is now written in the Old Testament

Isaac was born about 2234 BC.

God made a 2300 Bible-year Covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15 that involved animal sacrifices and his natural seed or son Isaac. The covenant was confirmed in Christ's death as Jesus is Abraham's spiritual seed. The death of Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice that ended the animal sacrifices.

DANIEL 8:14  “And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.”

The sanctuary was cleansed of all sin at Calvary.

GENESIS 15:18  “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:”

GALATIANS 3:17  “And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,

The Bible never says "the antichrist". That is a made-up doctrine by the churches.

If the so-called antichrist confirms a seven-year covenant with the Jews, when did he make the covenant with the Jews? There is no Bible-answer for this question, as there is no person called "the antichrist" mentioned in the Bible.

There is a "spirit of antichrist".

DANIEL 8:27   “And he [God] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [the 7 years of Christ's ministry]: and in the midst of the week [after 3.5 years Jesus was killed] he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease [Calvary ended the animal sacrifices], and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”

There are 3.5 years still owing to the Jews. They will be led to Messiah in the 3.5 years of great Tribulation as the 144000, by the two great prophets, Moses and Elijah. That is why God is starting to turn back to Israel now.

And the Jews are having a rough time which will get even harder in great Tribulation.

The Muslim Dome of the Rock is the physical Abomination that makes Desolation that remains built on what they think is the site of the Temple. The Temple was destroyed and left desolate by the pagan Romans in AD 70.

Pagan Rome was destroyed by the barbarian tribes in AD 476 but resurrected back to life on the ruins of the Roman Emipre as the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church is the spiritual abomination of Desolation as it takes us away from Scripture with man-made doctrines like Trinity, Christmas, 25 December, Good Friday, the Pastor is the head of the church, and a man's quotes can replace Scripture when the man is called infallible.

 

Lot’s illegitimate son Moab was born at the same time as Isaac.

Shem dies  2158 years after Adam's day zero.

So Abraham (born 2008 years afterAdam)  and Isaac (who was born 2108 years after Adam) could hear the truth from Shem.

These long life-times allowed the truth to be accurately transmitted.

Name                        Birth       Death    1st son born            Age

2.  Jacob                     2168        2315       91 **                      147

3.  Joseph                  2259        2369       33.5 **                  110

3.  Judah was a brother of Joseph and thus of the same generation as Joseph.

4.  Pharez

5.  Hezron

6.  Ram

7.  Amminadab

8.  Nahshon

9.  Salmon

10.  Boaz      10th generation from Isaac. End of Moabite separation.

Ruth the Moabitess marries Boaz to enter the line of Messiah.

DEUTERONOMY 23:2   A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

:3   An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:

For ever means to the vanishing point. This banishment will last until it vanishes in the tenth generation.

RUTH 4:21   And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

Boaz was tenth generation from Isaac, thus Boaz was 11th generation from Abraham.

RUTH 4:22   And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

From Abraham, Obed was 12th, Jesse was 13th, and David the great king was 14th.

14 is a key number as Jacob worked 7 years for Leah (symbol of the Old Testament Jews) and 7 years for Rachel (symbol of the New Testament church).

Thus Matthew divides the bloodline of Messiah into three groups of fourteen.

This represents that Jesus came both for the Jews and for the Gentiles.

Matthew simply leaves out the names of certain men who failed God for different reasons.

We must be careful that we do not fail God. If He leaves us out of His Book of Life then we are in trouble.

Transmission of truth by word of mouth

The first red line is Adam's death. All those up to Lamech could speak to Adam and learn the truth.

Adam could speak to Methuselah and Lamech who could both speak to Shem. Shem could speak to Isaac.

The second red line represents Shem's death.
