Bible Chronology
Numeric Patterns
at the Creation
- Thus, there are about 3,900 yrs to the traditional birth of Christ and 4,300 unto the actual. Therefore, we have the times-10 reverse (i.e.,
"mirror") of the figures found at the exodus and Ezk (i.e., 390 and 430), with the clear inference that a Son of Adam (Gen 3:15; Luke 3:23-38) would be born that upon 'bearing' the iniquity of the world (Ezk 4:4; cf., Isa. 53:12; Jn. 1:29), would lead a people out of bondage.
However, what of the other 6 dates? To show their significance we forward the 1656½ yrs of the standard MT from the previous flood dates. (There are no further NT discrepancies to complicate things).

As at the flood, all 8 dates interact with itself at 8205 yrs unto its mirror, i.e., 'creation' to the 'creation.'[6] (Actual is 8204 yrs; a 1-yr difference that creates the important "time, times, & ½-a time," Dan. 7:25, i.e., the '3½-yr' gap). We take the max and min dates to illustrate.
*4305 BC
(Ezk 4:6) + sequential order of numbers as they appear in Daniel = to AD *3901 (Ezk 4:5).
{I.e.,
*4305 BC + 2300 (Dan. 8:14) + 490 (Dan. 9:24) + 1,290 +
1335 (Dan. 12:11–12) + again 490 + 2300 = AD *3901.
Hence, the 1,290 & 1335 of Dan. 12:11–12 is the center hub of this "a" "b" "c" "b" "a" pattern with "c" representing the text of Dan. 12:11–12.}
- The positions of all the individual parts of the full 8205 yrs are often significant, esp. the first (or last) '2300.'
*4305 BC
and 4091 BC less 2300 = birth of Jacob.
4176, 3961 BC less 2300 = mirror of call of Abraham or entry into Egypt.
4245 BC/AD less 2300 yrs = AD 1945 (WW 2) + 2300 days = AD 1939 (WW 2), or less 2300 days = 1951 BC (Abraham's birth).
- The middle two creation dates (4115, 4090) are centered at Christ's birth and death. (Because they too are 8505 yrs apart, either date will do the same as in the following, except in reverse.)
4090 BC + 2300 + 490 + 1,290 yrs = 10 BC + same in days = 4, 2 BC, AD 2.
4090 BC + 2300 + 490 + 1335 yrs = AD 36 less same in days = AD 30, 29, 25.
- With the –2 yrs (as explained in previous section), there is an exact 8200 yrs from the creation unto its mirror. Recall the 82 days Moses was up the mountain. There was 40 days, + 2 days (in which he breaks the tablets of the law, grinds the golden calf to powder, etc.), plus his next 40 days up the mountain. The middle '2-day' period, therefore, represents Christ as the center of time, ---the revelation of both the grace and wrath of God.
