And Terah lived seventy years,

was 70 years old at the birth of his first born giving 60 years between Abram
and his oldest brother. Circumstantial evidence for this interpretation is
the generation gap between Isaac and Rebekah (Gen 24:24). Since Nahor married
the daughter of Haran (Gen 11:29), it is likely Haran was the eldest of the
three brothers. |

(Acts 7: 2-4) Abraham Born…… Acts 7:2 And he said, Men,
brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father
Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 3 And said unto him, Get
thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I
shall shew thee. 4 Then came he out of
the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his
father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. |

Abram probably left Haran soon
after the death of his father (Acts 7:4). Using this information and
comparing Genesis 11:32 and 12:4, it seems that Terah was 130 years old at
the birth of Abram. This can be added to the time between the Flood and Terah
to give the time from the Flood to Abram |

unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years
old, bear?... 24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen
years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. (The

Abraham was 75 when he left
Haran Genesis 12:4 ¶So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;
and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he
departed out of Haran. Isaac was born 400 years
before the Exodus in 1846 B.C. and Abraham's birth was 100 years earlier (Gen
21:5). Abraham was 75 (Gen 12:4) when he left Haran making the year 1871
B.C.. Since he left Ur 430 years before the Exodus (i.e. in 1876 B.C.), he
was in Haran just 5 years |

King Zoser of Egypt built the “step pyramid”…. Zoser
ruled part of lower Egypt at the same time Joseph was Prime Minister under
Pharoah Amenemhet III (1741-1692BC), King of upper Egypt… And Pharoah was
King over all Egypt… Egypt was broken up in states much like the United
States of America and their governors… King Zoser recorded the 7 year drought
in Joseph’s time, “My heart is in great anxiety,” said Zoser, “for in my time
the Nile has not overflowed for a period of seven years” (Cambridge Ancient History,
p. 309-310, vol. I) |

Very slight chance it could be
2288 AM ...if Joseph was 40 rather than 39 when Israel came to Egypt. Genesis 41:46 ¶And
Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And
Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the
land of Egypt. Genesis 41: 46 ¶And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh
king of Egypt….. 53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the
land of Egypt, were ended….54 And the seven years of dearth began to come… Genesis 45: 6 For these two years hath the famine been in the
land….11 …for yet there are five years of famine;…… Genesis 47:8 And Pharaoh said
unto Jacob, How old art thou? 9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the

Joseph entered Egypt... four
years before the Hyksos took control of the country. The Hyksos were largely
a Semitic people who ruled Egypt from their capital in the Delta. They are
held responsible for introducing the horse and chariot into from the time Joseph was in Egypt (Work
backwards Egypt).... Joseph
entered the service of Pharaoh at the age of 30 (Gen 41:46). He remained
there for seven years of plenty and two years of famine before revealing
himself to his brothers (Gen 41:48; 45:6). So Joseph was 39 when his family
moved to Egypt. Jacob was 130 (Gen 47:9). This means Jacob was 91 at Joseph's
birth. Now Joseph was six when Jacob took his family to Canaan (Gen 30:25;
31:41), making Jacob's age 97. Since Jacob had worked for Laban for 20 years
(Gen 31:41), he was 77 when he left home. |
|
|
1631 BC |
Genesis 41::22 ¶And Joseph
dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and
ten years. ... 26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: ... |
|
|
1565BC |
After the Hyksos were expelled
from Egypt in 1565 B.C., the Egyptians regained control and established the
``New Kingdom''. Thus, ``there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know
Joseph'' (Exo 1:8 RSV) and began to oppress Israel. |
|
|
|
Tuthmosis III was the greatest
military leader in Egyptian history and repeatedly led campaigns into Canaan
and Syria. It may be that Moses was the general of his army as Josephus
indicates (Jos Ant 2.5). Tuthmosis III was also a great builder and is known
to have employed Semitic captives as brick layers (see Exo 5:6-19). ``They
put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labour.'' (Exo 1:11) A further piece of evidence that Tuthmosis III
was the Pharaoh of the oppression is that he reigned for over 40 years. This
is necessary since Moses returned to Egypt shortly after the death of the
Pharaoh having been in Midian 40 years (Exo 2:23 - 3:10; Acts 7:30). Amenophis II began to reign in
1450 B.C., four years before the Exodus. So it was probably Amenophis II
whose heart was hardened, who witnessed the mighty power of God in the
plagues, and whose eldest son died in the plague of the first-born (Exo
12:29). According to this chronology,
Moses was brought up during the reigns of Tuthmosis I and II. It seems highly
likely that the daughter of Pharaoh who adopted Moses was the famous Queen
Hatshepsut (Exo 2:10). It was probably Tuthmosis III (reigning jointly with
his step mother) who tried to kill Moses (Exo 2:15). Again, archaeology provides
circumstantial evidence for this identification. On the side of the Sphinx at
Gizeh, the Dream Stela of Tuthmosis IV recounts a prophecy that the young
Tuthmosis would one day be Pharaoh. If he was the first-born son and legal
heir to the throne, such a prophecy would be obvious. But it rings true if
his elder brother died in the tenth plague and Tuthmosis IV became Pharaoh in
his place. |

Exodus ……… Exodus 12:1 ¶And the LORD spake
unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, Daniel
9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy
city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Since this was the first month and probably the first of years
you could easily calculate the Jubilees and 7th year of rest. 69
Jubilees until the year 2004. 70 jubilees is the year 2054. (3500 years = 70

observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is
that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their
generations. Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that

children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day
came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 For
they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and
had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the
mount……verse 8… 8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of
the people unto the LORD. |

Numbers 33:38 And Aaron the priest went up
into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the
fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt,
in the first day of the fifth month. Deuteronomy 1:3 And it came to pass in the
fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that
Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had
given him in commandment unto them; |
|
|
1400 BC |
The first apparent reference to the
children of Israel in secular history occurs in The Armana Letters (1400
B.C.), discovered in 1887 by an Egyptian peasant woman. They contain a
request from the governor of Jerusalem to the Pharaoh of Egypt to help supply
military aid against the Habiru people. Many scholars think that this is a
reference to the Hebrew invasion of Canaan
|
|
|
1220BC |
The only other known reference
to Israel before the time of the kings is in the Stele of Merneptah (1220
B.C.). There, Merneptah, Pharaoh of Egypt (1236-1223 B.C.), mentions that
"Israel is laid waste, his seed is not;" apparently referring to an
Egyptian victory over Israel during the time of the Judges. |
|
|
|
1080bc 1 Samuel 13 apparently
should also include Saul's age when he began to reign. This too has dropped
out. A few late manuscripts of the Septuagint give the figure as 30 years
old. If correct, this would date Saul's birth about 1080 B.C.. |
|
|
|
It is even more difficult to
form a chronology of Saul's life. Paul gives the length of his reign as 40
years (Acts 13:21) and this is followed in the accompanying charts. However,
1 Samuel 13:1 gives the figure as ". . . two years" the first
figure has dropped out of the manuscripts. Possibly this was originally
"forty-two years" and Paul uses a round number |
|
|
1011BC /1010BC |
David began to reign (2Sam
5:4-5). (To establish dates for this period, it is necessary to work
backwards from the split of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah in 931/30 B.C..)
Solomon reigned for 40 years (1Kgs 11:42) and so became king in 971/70 B.C..
Still working backwards, it can be established that David began to reign in
1011/10 B.C. and was born in 1041/40 B.C. (2Sam 5:4-5). The other events of
David's life are difficult to date exactly; there are insufficient data and
it seems that the scriptural record is not always in strict chronological
sequence. (For example, the events of 2Sam 8:1-14 probably occurred before
2Sam 7:1.) (The first shall be last and the last shall be first) |
|
|
971/70 B.C |
971/70bc Solomon commenced his
reign in 971/70 B.C. (1Kgs 11:42 Starting from the key date of
931/30 B.C. When the Kingdom of Israel split into the Kingdoms of Israel and
Judah, we can establish that Solomon commenced his reign in 971/70 B.C. (1Kgs
11:42). His fourth year marked the 480th year (Septuagint: 440th year) from
the Exodus (1Kgs 6:1), giving a date of 1446 B.C. to the Exodus. This date is
consistent with Jephthah's statement (Jdg 11:26) that he lived 300 years
after Israel took control of the land. According to the King James Version
of Acts 13:20, "he gave unto them judges about the space of 450
years." This is at odds with the rest of the chronology. Solomon was
made king 476 years after the Exodus (1Kgs 6:1) and Saul and David each
reigned for 40 years (Acts 13:21; 1Kgs 2:11) leaving less than 400 years for
the judges. Another possible reading of the text, supported by the NIV and
NRSV, assigns the 450 years to the events of the preceding verses. The NIV
reads "All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges .
. ." This seems the most likely solution and gives 450 years from the
time "God chose our fathers" to the conquest. i.e. 400 (Gen 15:13)
+ 40 (wilderness) + 10 (conquest). |

the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come
out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel,
in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house
of the LORD. …….. 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the
eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and
according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it. 480 Years from Exodus To Building of Temple 2 Chronicles 3:1-2 Then Solomon began to build the house
of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David
his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of
Ornan the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build in the second day of the
second month, in the fourth year of his reign |
|
|
930/31BC |
Starting
from the key date of 931/30 B.C. when the Kingdom of Israel split into the
Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, we can establish that Solomon commenced his
reign in 971/70 B.C. (1Kgs 11:42). His fourth year marked the 480th year
(Septuagint: 440th year) from the Exodus (1Kgs 6:1), giving a date of 1446
B.C. to the Exodus. This date is consistent with Jephthah's statement (Jdg
11:26) that he lived 300 years after Israel took control of the land "By integrating Biblical
data with those derived from Assyrian chronological records, the yr 853 B.C.
can be fixed as the yr of Ahab's death, and the yr 841 as the yr Jehu began
to reign. The yrs in which Ahab and Jehu had contacts with Shalmaneser III of
Assyria can also be given definite dates Two key dates in Old Testament chronology are 853 B.C. and 841
B.C.. From Assyrian data, it can be shown that 853 B.C. witnessed the battle
of Qarqar and the death of Ahab, and that 841 B.C. saw Jehu as king of Israel
in place of Joram. Using these key dates, scriptural data gives 931/30 B.C.
as the year the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah split. |

the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high
places which he had made. 33 So he
offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the
eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and
ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar,
and burnt incense. |

Samaria fell to Assyria Lost Ten Tribes Of Israel 2 Kings 18:9 ¶And it came to pass in the
fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of
Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria (German Ancestors) came
up against Samaria (House of Israel, headed up by the Tribes of Ephraim
(Great Britain) and Manasah (USA) and besieged it. 10 And at the end of
three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the
ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 11 And the king of
Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in
Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes: 12 Because they obeyed
not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all
that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do
them. 13 Now in the fourteenth
year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the
fenced cities of Judah, and took them….. 2 Kings 18:16
At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple
of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid,
and gave it to the king of Assyria. |

Jeremiah's
calling as a prophet to replant the Throne of God to Ireland was from the 13th year
of king Josiah (Jer. 1:2) -- apparently 626 B.C. It seems unlikely Jeremiah would
have entered his ministry without some training. If he underwent
a 3-year training, similar to the training of Christ's disciples, his
actual ministry would have begun approximately 623 -- (a date apparently not
verifiable historically). The first phase of his ministry carried to the
beginning of the siege by Nebuchadnezzar's forces on Jerusalem, 604 B.C. That was 19
years, assuming the preministry training period. His ministry then continued until
the fall of Jerusalem, 585 B.C. -- a SECOND 19-YEAR TIME CYCLE. However, there
is ample reason to believe Jeremiah's ministry continued into, but probably
not completely through, a 3rd 19-year period with his escaping from Jerusalem and,
with one of King Zedekiah's daughters, migrating to northern Ireland, where
this "King's seed" (Tea Telphi) took root downward, and bore fruit
upward. |
