Lars said, "1874 is based upon the 1335 years since the establishment of the Catholic Church...that's where 1874 comes from based upon Bible chronology. "
1874CE - 1335"year/days" = 539CE - - - I don't understand how anyone can say the Roman Catholic Church began on this date. Can you expand on this a little?
I'm not criticizing, just asking.
Thanks
Hi Nathan. You're right about the 539CE dating. That's precisely the year they use for the beginning of the 1335 years. It is explained specifically in "Harp of God" as to exactly what event this was. I don't have a copy available to me right now, but basically 539 was related to when some political kingdom was overthrown. If I find an on-line "Harp of God" I'll find the reference. But that is precisely right. 539CE is the date they consider began the Holy Roman Empire or something, related to some historical political event occurring in 539CE. Maybe its an obvious event and I can find it independently. I'll research it, but that's their reference. If I can find the exact quote I'll post it. Otherwise, maybe someone else who has a copy can post the reference to 539CE.
