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.

And for anyone that may wonder if Sabbaths could have really been according to the Lunar Phases of the moon. See page 410 here:

Just to clarify my last post. There are 49 weeks of the courses in a SOLAR year. That is important to know when trying to go back in time and look at which course may have been serving on a particular week.

As historical researchers know (and the Jewish Encyclopedia), the Jews use to observe the Sabbaths according to the Lunar weeks and not according the solar weeks. This means there is 49 weeks of rotation in a year. And they observed these weeks from Sabbath to Sabbath. These courses observed their courses unbroken in order. This is not to say they didn't observe at some points as certainly they couldn't but when they resumed they resumed in the order they would be at - had the rotation always been in place. This would be the same with Sabbaticals and Jubilees. The Day of Atonement would be 9/30 in 4 B.C.E having started the evening before.

It is important to note that the Jews, observed the New Moons, their first day of the week was the 2nd Day of the Month when the Crescent would be observed. Therefore, the Sabbaths were the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and the 29th of the month. You won't find the weekly sabbaths on other days. These corresponded with the phases of the moon.

Therefore, knowing this you will see that a Sabbath can fall on any day of the solar week.

Also, knowing this you will realize that the Feasts of Unleavened Bread is ALWAYS a High Sabbath as it always falls on the Weekly Sabbath day.

Now knowing this you can count the sabbaths correctly to Pentecost because it is NOT 50 consecutive days. But the count begins on the 16th day of the first Lunar Month and is counted by Weekly Sabbaths onto 7 weeks and then 1 days is added. This will always bring you to the 9th day of the 3rd month. You may wonder then why we count it? Because we are being taught to count down the Jubilees. Remember, that man only gets 120 Jubilees (Genesis 6:3).

Hippolytus shows this in his commentary on the Psalms.

“Let us inquire, further, why there are one hundred and fifty psalms. That the number fifty is sacred, is manifest from the days of the celebrated festival of Pentecost, which indicates release from labors, and (the possession of) joy. For which reason neither fasting nor bending the knee is decreed for those days. For this is a symbol of the great assembly that is reserved for future times. Of which times there was a shadow in the land of Israel in the year called among the Hebrews “Jobel” (Jubilee) which is the fiftieth year in number, and brings with it liberty for the slave, and release from debt, and the like. …Thus, then, it was also meet that the hymns to God on account of the destruction of enemies, and in thanksgiving for the goodness of God, should contain not simply one set of fifty, but three such, for the name of Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit. The number fifty, moreover, contains seven sevens, or a Sabbath of Sabbaths; and also over and above these full Sabbaths, a new beginning, in the eight, of a really new rest that remains above the Sabbaths.”

So now, you can see that the Pentecost shows us to count down Jubilees. But how many days you may say it is from Pentecost to the Day of Atonement when the Jubilee is sounded? - 120.

These are lunar months and each has on average 29.5 days. So from the 9th day of the 3rd month to the end of the month we have 21 days. For months 4-6 we have (29.5 * 3 = 88.5 days) and for the 7th month till the 10 day (Day of Atonement) we have 10.5 days.

Do the math 21 + 88.5 + 10.5 = 120 days.

Now the 60th Jubilee was when the Temple of Solomon was dedicated. If we go from that 9th day of the 3rd month and go 60 days we land on the 10th of the 5th month. That is the day in which the Temple was destroyed.

All these mysteries are for the wise to understand.

Dan_12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

So the member of God's Church are represented in the Menorah. They are the children of light. Or the Illuminated ones as opposed to those that have the spirit of opposition.

Clement and Philo of Alexandria and Josephus among others report that the seven candlesticks of the Menorah are correlated to the 7 wandering stars (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn). These wandering stars will begin to come into Virgo in Sept of 2040 during the time of the Fall Feast days and the 121st Jubilee. What a wonderful sign showing that our Lord is Coming to His Church.

For those that are following along. Let's remember there is no year 0.

Since Jesus was born in 3 B.C.E during the Feast of Lights, this means the following:

Jesus was in His 3rd year in 1 B.C.E

Jesus was in His 4th year in 1 AD

Jesus was in His 10th year in 7 AD

Jesus was in His 20th year in 17 AD

Jesus was in His 30th year in 27 AD

Jesus was in His 33rd year when He was crucified and rose from the Dead in 31 AD being 32 years of Age.

Those times above are at the time of the Feast of Lights (9th month 25th day).

Another piece we have to remember is the Sabbatical years. The year of the destruction of the Temple in 530 AD was a sabbatical year. And since Daniels 70 weeks yield a 7th year in the final year, then we know that the year that Jesus is Crucified and Resurrected is a Sabbatical year. And that is what we have from 530 AD to 31 AD.

Another birth dating piece is the rotation of the Priesthood. We know that the first course of the Priests served in the Temple at the time of the destruction in the second week of the 5th month in 70 AD.

We know that the 8th course served during the day of Atonement when Zacharias was serving in the Temple in 4 B.C.E.

Luk 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

We simply plot the courses through the years backwards from 70 AD and see that the 8th course would be serving during the 2nd week of the 7th month in 4 B.C.E.

Another great piece of our evidence for Jesus is that he entered his 30th year when Tiberius was in the 15th year of his reign. This further cements the 3 B.C.E birth of Jesus since we know that Tiberius became the emperor in 14 AD.

Of course we now know that Herod's dating of his death to 4 BC is in error. As the dating of the death is based on the reigning years and death of his son Phillip as indicated in the works of Josephus. However, the earlier works base the death of Phillip in the 22nd year of Tiberius instead of the 20th year of Tiberius thus moving the years forward.

We know that he died after the lunar eclipse of Jan 10th in 1 B.C.E according to Josephus. This aligns with the early Church Historians that put his death in the time of 3 B.C.E.

Clement of Alexandria quoted the year of Jesus birth very well with saying that it was 194 years, 1 month, and 13 days before the death of Commodus.

We know that Jesus death was in 31 AD because that is the 1st year of the 40 years to the Destruction of the 2nd Temple by the Romans. That destruction and 40 years also serving the type for those that follow Bible Typology.
