VAT4956 - 530 BC destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar

by jwposter in

in my studies, i have concluded that year 530 bc was when the destruction of jerusalem occurred and the temple destroyed.

i had determined this prior to investigation of vat4956.

i had already found that the jubilees, sabbaticals, courses of the priests, and chronology attested to this.

I have Isaac born in 1910 BC. Which is year 1980 of creation (Book of Jubilees) This is 430 years before the Exodus (book of Jubilees) I have him at 30 years old when he is offered for sacrifice or 400 years before the Exodus (Based on Book of Jubilees and Acts 13). I have the capture of the lands and dividing at 50 years after the Exodus (Acts 13).

Another observation in the translations of the VAT:

N/W:

9. Saturn opposite the southern Fish of the Zodiac. Mercury, which had set heliacally, was not visible. On the night of the 1st, a violent (?) storm from the south-east. On the 1st, the whole day [ ... ].

A/H:

9: Saturn was in front of the Swallow; Mercury, which had set, was not visible. Night of the 1st, gusty stormfrom east and south. The 1st, all day [ .... ]

This is a section where N/W is leading us a bit. In the A/H is more accurate to the transliteration. There is no heliacal reference in the transliteration.

The fact that Mercury is mentioned here is likely because it is in the observation of the moon at this time. The moon is observed on the horizon in the west. At that time in -511, Mercury would have just set.

We have to remember that the week is referencing 6000 years of rule for man. (Epistle of Barnabas).

We have Peter saying that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day.

But we have Jubilees and in them while there are 6000 years, the time is 5880 years for that time because every 50th is also the 1st year in the next cycle. So a Day is the "Week" of time is 980 years (980 * 6) = 5880 years.

Now Adam when He sinned was to die in the day that he sinned of which he did as he died at 930 years. He couldn't die at 931 years or more because then he would have entered the cycle of the Jubilee that ends at the next day of the "Week" of time. Therefore, he died one jubilee short of the 980 years (980 - 1 jubilee = 930 years).

Another piece that must align is the Course of the Priests. We know that from 1st Temple to the 2nd Temple the 24 course of the priests served in their orders and Josephus says that chain was not broken. We know that the first course was present serving during the temple destruction both times. We also know the 8th course was present on the Day of Atonement being served by Zacharias when he was given the instructions that Elizabeth would conceive a child. All of these have to line up with the years.

Therefore, you don't just have to have the Chronologies line up, but you have to have the Sabbatical years line up, the Jubilees line up, the 24 Courses of the Priests must line up. My Timeline does that.

Obviously we need to align the Sabbatical year and the Jubilee years. The year of the destruction of the Temple was a Sabbatical year. That is a big deal. Since the Dedication of the Temple was a Jubilee year then the sabbatical years must align to the year of the destruction. Since the destruction of the Temple we can see an alignment. 950 BC - 530 BC = 420. 420 / 7 = 60. No remainder. We have alignment.

As for the Exodus being in 1479 and Thutmose II as the Pharaoh, you can see a chart on the following link that references the reigns of Thutmose II from various historians. You can see it was believed to be 1479 when it ended according to several historians.

Also, for those that are studying the timeline that I provided. A big help to you will be the Book of Jubilees. The Book of Jubilees is one of the oldest ancient books which the Jews observed and found in Qumran and part among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Book of Jubilees (as its name implies), tracks down time by Jubilees. This is really something we should all be doing. To understand how the time is tracked in the book is like this:

Time are given based on the cycle of the Jubilee they are in. Therefore, day one of Adam would be already in the 1st Jubilee though the Jubilee has not yet been declared. Then the time is referred to in weeks of years. Therefore, the 1st. Jubilee 2nd week 3rd year would be equivalent to 7 + 3 = 10th year.

And let's do another: 30th Jubilee 4th week 2nd year. Understand that a Jubilee = 50 years but the cycle is 49 years because the 50th year is also the 1st year in the next cycle.

So 30th Jubilee would we take 29 * 49 (because we can use 30 because that cycle is not complete) + 3 * 7 (because we can't use 4 for the week because that week is not completed) + 2 (for the 2nd year above).

(29 * 49) + ( 3 * 7) + 2 = 1444th year from the days of Adam.

By using that means of calculation, you can easily read the Book of Jubilees.

Now the Book of Jubilees shows that the 50th Jubilee was at the crossing of the Jordan. We know that is 40 years after the Exodus. So this tells you that 1 Kings 6:1 where it mentions the 480 years is not from the Beginning of the Exodus but from the End of the Exodus. We know this because the dedication of the Temple is in the 60th Jubilee. Therefore, 10 Jubilees = 490 years. You may have seen that number before if you studied Daniels 70 weeks because his prophecy is a 10 Jubilee prophecy. It is on this 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, etc. (the tens) that significant events in Biblical history occur. This also tells you exactly where to find a Jubilee. Jesus was crucified in 31 AD, this means that year would be a declaration of a Jubilee in the 7th month (80th).

Now since the Temple was dedicated in 950 BC, we can see that the 50th Jubilee was 490 years earlier in 1440 BC (crossing of the Jordan). We then have 40 years earlier to the Exodus in 1479. But a Pharaoh would have to have died that year for there to be any authenticity to that year. Which there was. That Pharaoh is Thutmose II. He didn't have a son to immediately take the throne. Hs wife therefore had to rule. His mummy was found and it was covered with scabrous wounds consistent with the Boil Plague. Not just his but other mummies of the time as well were covered with the same scabrous wounds.

VAT4956 Obverse Line 4:
A / H:
4: or 12th, Jupiter's acronychal rising. On the 14th, one god was seen with the other; sunrise to moonset: 4o.
The 15th, overcast. The 16th, Venus [ .... ]
N / W:
4. or the 12th Jupiter apparently rose acronychally. On the 14th, the god was visible with the god; 16m passed between sunrise and moonset on the next morning. On the 15th, it was overcast. On the 16th Venus [ ... ].
This is another demonstration of why I prefer N / W over A / H. Such a striking difference

Interestingly, the two different types of acronychal risings. The apparent acronychal rising fits more to the observation of -511. Since the apparent acronychal rising is different from a true acronychal rising (what A/H seems to convey). The apparent acronychal rising is one in which the object rises while there is to much light and can't be seen because of the brightness of the sun. That is what we see in -511 for Jupiter at that time.

Also, check this link. It shows that the work on the Temple BEGAN in 959 BC. It was dedicated in 950 BC. Again in accordance with the timeline I provided. And the death of Solomon also recorded in this link is also in sync with my timeline:
