This project attempts to date history of the Biblical world.<\/p>\n
It begins from Adam and use only Biblical verses as guide to mark time.<\/p>\n
I am not yet fully convinced by the Young Earth Creationists that \"a day\" is a 24-hour day as they claim. They claim that to be the Hebrew definition of a day. I am more convinced of a more literal definition of that: that it is an evening and morning - a day. So it could be 24.1 hour, 25 hour, etc. which I do not believe is the same as the 24-hour view point. Not even for 0.1 hour difference. So if it is a 25 hour day, it could be a much longer period day...even a week, year. But also, I am not talking about a figurative day, that a single day represents multiple days. If the \"day\" means contemporary thousands of years time frame, that it is only because there is only one daylight and one night in all these thousands of years. This is the more convincing argument for myself.<\/p>\n
Therefore, I am not marking the creation of the Universe as a starting point.<\/p>\n
Thus far it has been fun and very educational. Particularly on Shem's and Abraham's birthright. Jacob's age of birthright blessing, etc.<\/p>\n
Though Judah is in Christ's genealogy, it appears that I need to use Joseph as a marker in the timeline because there is no due for Judah's life, except in external Jewish text<\/a>.<\/p>\n A good resource is answersingenesis.org<\/a>.
