1. New-years day of Nisan (Abib) 1st (morning)
of the 360 calendar landed on April 9, 1446 BC (Gregorian
calendar, but which was April 22 Julian). (April 9th on the
conventional Jewish calendar that year was about Nisan 11.) The
Julian day # is 1193382. (That day, therefore, symbolized as
AD 1 as explained
later.)
2. The 4000-year cycles began in 4006
BC at the Creation and again when they entered Egypt
in 1446 BC. (Nisan 1 on the 360 calendar in
4006 BC falls on, or about, the spring equinox, March 21
Gregorian, which is April 22 Julian, which happens to be Nisan 1
on the regular Jewish calendar {as well as the 360 calendar},
which makes it a new moon! {Julian #258342.} The new moon, the
spring equinox, and the start of the 360 calendar are therefore
perfectly aligned with this Creation date to signal 'a new
beginning'. However, it is my personal view that this date is
merely symbolic for the Creation, and that the actual Creation
date may be something
else.)
Note that both Creation ( 4006 BC) and the Exodus (1446 BC, see
note #1) run along the same 40-year cycles.
The first 4000-year cycle ends at about the time
of the conception of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ in 6 BC,
(Julian #1719312, March 21 Gregorian, 23rd Julian). There are 64
generations/cycles of 40 years that pass between the Creation
and the Exodus, and once again, 64 is a square-root
figure, that is, 8 x 8, (or 8 x 8 x 8 x 5
years = 2560 years). Fittingly, the number "eight" in
the bible symbolizes "a new
beginning", with 2560 years being about how many days there
are in a seven-year period, hence memorializing the Creation
that took place in "seven days" --- a year for each
day.
Observe that an overlap
of one month (30 days), therefore, occurs between the years 6 BC
and AD 2555 (2560 years). This is because the 4000-calendar from
the Exodus will not complete its first cycle until AD 2555
thereby being ahead of the Creation-calendar by one leap-month
all during this 2560-year span. This means that currently, and
for the next 560 years, there is a one-month gap between the two
calendars.
The creation date is not based upon
biblical chronology, although it is certainly in the right
ballpark. The creation date of 4006 BC is mainly based upon the
deduction that a calendar from creation should both weave into
the time of the exodus and the birth of
Christ, and this one does both exceedingly well.
However, the exodus date is the only calendar date that is
clearly established by the bible itself. The creation date is
only inferred, although strongly so. For more about this, and
why the exodus date, see, "What
Year are We in According to the 360 Calendar?"
Concerning the 3840-year cycles, I have
come to favor the 4000-year cycles for its simplicity over the
3840-cycles, and simplicity is important for a calendar. After
that are the 100,000-year cycles. Thus, 40
and 4000 and 100,000-year cycles. Beyond that I may
have gone too far. I may yet put all other information on
this website in archive. I am not as convinced of the 3840
cycles as I once was. It works just like I said, but it lacks
simplicity, something I underestimated for significance. Also,
when the calendar gets into cycles that run into the trillions
of years, the symmetry exhibited might largely be due to
the quirks of numbers. Numbers can do strange things by their
very nature! See, "What
Year are We in According to the 360 Calendar?"
3. You may find it interesting that the great
tsunami that killed 300,000 on Dec. 26, 2004 was 1,260,000 days
(Rev. 12) from Nisan 14 (360-calendar) of the Passover of the
Exodus, and eve of the 10th plague upon Egypt. Click
here for more on that. (This third note has been adjusted
by 30 days since it was written. However, the meaning is still
the same, just a little longer to explain. The symbolic day-year
for the actual day of the tsunami is the reason
why, and also see the above note.)
