This Maternal line is a list of the husbands of the female ancestors of Mary, in other words Heli was Mary's father, Matthat was Mary's maternal grandfather or Mary's mother's father, Levi was Mary's mother's maternal grandfather or Mary's mother's mother's father etc. etc. The maternal line of Luke and the Paternal line of Matthew chapter 1 merge at King David - see Matthew 1.

Now the question is: Is the genealogy above fact or is it fiction? The fundamental Christian takes it as fact, the scientist has hitherto at best had to take it as fiction or as 'somewhat symbolic' in order to reconcile it with known archaeology.

Because Luke has Jesus being the 77^th in line from God, whereas the fossil record shows that homo sapiens (even in the modern variety) has been around for 100,000 years, and Homo habilis, Homo erectus, archaic Homo sapiens, Neanderthal man and Cromagnon man (who is modern Homo sapiens) have between them been around for more than a million years. However we, the Lords' Witnesses, discovered in 2000 that Adam was the first human to be born judicially alive, but he was not the first human. In fact Adam means 'man' in Hebrew - see [1] for the full story. 

We have discovered that Adam was introduced into the prehistoric world of Homo Sapiens, as more or less an indefinitely long living God. This introduction was the Genesis of civilisation and the origin of all Mythology. In fact all that mankind had achieved prior to the advent of Adam, was the domestication of wheat, the domestication of the dog and the sheep and the manufacture of some primitive stone tools, the decoration of some caves, the making of some skin clothes and settling in small structureless farming cooperatives, living in skin tents.

But then, within 1,000 years of Adam’s sin, we had invented writing, built huge cities with temples in them, invented the wheel, domesticating everything, started forging metals (the Bronze age), doubled our population, invented intensive farming, started huge wars to establish kingdoms etc. etc. This is not a coincidence. The point is that the above lineage of Luke, no longer conflicts with Archaeology. Rather, it explains why man became civilised and ceased being prehistoric, because this occurred with Adam, around 6,000 to 5,000 years ago, i.e. between 3000 and 4000 BC. We shall discover that Adam was born in 4027 BC and he lived 930 years and died in 3097 BC, so his extraordinarily long life (to us today) covered almost the entirety of this explosive millennium for mankind. Adam truly was the small step for God but the giant leap for mankind.

So now, without fear of contradiction from archeologists, we take the genealogy of Luke as Gospel (in fact as St. Luke’s Gospel) and let us discover when some of these characters actually lived!!

Now Genesis says:

7 And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul (Genesis 2).

And Paul, quoting this scripture, says:

45 It is even so written: The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Nevertheless, the first is, not that which is spiritual, but that which is physical, afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is out of the earth and made of dust; the second man is out of heaven (1 Corinthians 15).

From which bible scholars have hitherto deduced that Adam was the first human, and therefore the Archeologists and the Anthropologists must be wrong. But the Archaeologists and the Anthropologists are not wrong. There is overwhelming evidence in support of the existence of modern man for at least 30,000 years. Whereas 77 generations of man from Adam to Jesus obviously cover a far shorter period of time. In fact bible chronology shows that Adam was born in 4027 BC as we shall discover. This scientific evidence has really destroyed the credibility of Genesis as a literally true book to all except the fundamental Christians, who either know or believe that the bible is the infallible word of God and so their faith tells them that Genesis is correct period. The less fundamental Christians have assumed that Genesis is symbolic in some way, or that Adam represents ‘all men before a certain time’ or the likes. But the Genealogy of Luke is perfectly unambiguous. It is declaring that Adam was a real human, being the great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather of Noah, who is more readily acceptable as a real human. As mentioned above we have resolved this apparent contradiction with what could be termed the 2001 theory - [1].

The 2001 Theory

Humans did ‘evolve’ but by the design process of angels, rather than by random chance. For chance, an unthinking statistical phenomenon, cannot logically create a thinking being. Only intelligence begets intelligence. Descartes said: I think therefore I am. But one could equally well say: I think, therefore I was created by a thinker. In fact the second law of Thermodynamics which states:

Entropy tends to a maximum
Every process increases Chaos

or dU/dt = PdV/dt - TdS/dt

(U is energy, P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, S is entropy - a measure of Chaos, dU/dt, dV/dt, dS/dt are the rates of change of U, V, S with respect to time)

proves that in the beginning there was more order in the universe than there is now. In some sense there was complete or perfect order and therefore there must have been an orderer, a creator. So the 2^nd law of thermodynamics pretty much proves that there is a God. However this ‘law’ may only be a larger scale statistical phenomenon. For a neat Genetic proof that there is a God - see [5a].

And indeed there was a Homo habilis, created by the angels, then there was a Homo erectus, created by the angels, then there was an Archaic homo sapiens, created by the angels, then there was Neanderthal man, created by the angels and then there was Modern homo sapiens (sometimes called Homo sapiens sapiens or Cromagnon man), created by the angels and then there was Adam, created not by the angels but by God himself by a more direct involvement in the process.

26 And God went on to say: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth (Genesis 1).

27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them (Genesis 1).

Adam's creation had to wait until humans had reached the point in their development when they were ready to become 'spiritual'. The bible describes the difference between the physical man and the spiritual man as follows:

14 But a physical man does not receive the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot get to know [them], because they are examined spiritually.
15 However, the spiritual man examines indeed all things, but he himself is not examined by any man (1 Corinthians 2).

So the spiritual man is capable of making a wider examination of his environment. He has a higher consciousness of his surroundings, and can rationalise as to what might be the cause of them or what might be behind them. He can deduce the existence of things that he cannot detect physically (such as spiritual things - or gravity!) by applying reason to things which he can detect physically. Animals cannot do this, they only think about things which they can physically detect. Another way of putting this is that man was able to contemplate two stage thinking processes. 

Once man had reached this level of perception, then as in the film 2001 a space odyssey, a new stage in our development began. This new stage was the creation directly by God himself of Adam.

Adam was created by God as described in Genesis in the Garden of Eden which is located in the North of Iran around Lake Urmia, in the region where one finds the sources of the Euphrates, the Tigris (Hiddekel), the Gihon (Araxes) and the Pishon (Uizhun) rivers, the 4 rivers of Eden as described in Genesis 2 (Legends - David Rohl) - see [1].

Adam was genetically different from Homo sapiens only in as much as his genes kept him going indefinitely whilst he was within the Garden. He did not age, whereas Homo sapiens in the days of Adam, pre adamic man, was ageing and falling apart slowly like we do.

22 And Jehovah God went on to say: Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take [fruit] also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite.
23 With that Jehovah God put him out of the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken (Genesis 3).

He was created to introduce spirituality to mankind by a God who foreknew that he would sin. Because he said to Adam:

28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it (Genesis 1).

Since the garden of Eden was only one small part of the earth, he would obviously have to leave the garden to obey this command! And as regards Adam’s food:

29 And God went on to say: Here I have given to you all vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is the fruit of a tree bearing seed. To you let it serve as food (Genesis 1).

This involved food that was outside the garden. All of this was said in the 6^th creative day of Genesis, before Adam sinned. His sin marked the beginning of the 7^th creative day, the Sabbath, God’s ‘day’ of rest. These ‘days’ are epochs lasting thousands or millions of years !

As we have stated, historical evidence supports the introduction of a spiritually aware superman at around 4000 BC. But the bible too declares this parallel existence of these two types of men - see [1]:

26 And God went on to say: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.
27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living being (hyt) that is moving upon the earth (Genesis 1).

So ‘man’ had in subjection every moving animal, but ‘the man’ had in subjection every living being (literally every living thing) including Homo sapiens, or ‘man’. Also ‘the man’ was blessed and told to fill the earth, whereas ‘man’ was not. Man did not fill the earth, there were only around 5-7 million of us at the time of Adam’s birth (McEvedy 1978 Atlas of World Population). But ‘the man’ did fill it, through his descendant Noah! So 'man' was created by a plurality of angels, in the image of all of them, but 'the man' was created by God in his image alone. This is the same distinction as one makes between ‘the God’ and ‘gods’. This distinction is very easy to see using the Repetition Principle of the bible code, and from The Omission Principle wherein ‘the man’ is not said to be in God’s likeness.

Then again in Genesis 5:

1 This is the book of Adam's history. In the day of God's creating man he made him in the likeness of God.
2 Male and female he created them. And he blessed them and called their name Man in the day of their being created (Genesis 5).

Verse 1 refers to the creation of Adam himself by God. Adam was created in God's likeness. Pre-adamic man was created in the likeness of God and the angels. Verse 2 refers to pre-adamic man, who was called 'man' in the 6th creative day. 

So now we can return to Paul’s words:

45 It is even so written: The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Nevertheless, the first is, not that which is spiritual, but that which is physical, afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is out of the earth and made of dust; the second man is out of heaven (1 Corinthians 15).

Adam was not the first human being. For that which is physical, Man, Homo sapiens, pre-adamic man came first, then afterward, that which is spiritual, the man, Adam. This is classic scripture, the meanings are:

Literal: The first man Adam was out of the earth, being made of dust,  the second man Jesus was out of heaven. 

Symbolic: The first Homo sapiens was out of the earth, God's heavenly organisation, made by a plurality of angels, and made of dust, the second man Adam was out of heaven being God's own son, not made by God's organisation, the Jerusalem above, the holy spirit, the mother of those born again.

In bible symbolism, the earth stands for an organisation, the sand of the sea stands for adherents to that organisation and the sea itself stands for those who do not support or follow the organisation. This symbolism is revealed in Revelation 17 - see [158]. Remember that the earth was originally covered in seas and then the earth appeared. Symbolically this represents a group of beings forming some sort of organisation.

The simplest way one can get to this date (that we are aware of) is by starting with the date of the fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar in the 19th year of his reign, which was 586, a date which is relatively undisputed amongst historians - see [99], and counting back to the first year of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, which was 607. We then use Ezekiel's prophetic 390 year siege of Jerusalem in Ezekiel chapter 4 to count back to the last year of Solomon in 997. A more complicated way is to count back from Jehoiakim's first year in 607 through all of the Kings of Judah to Solomon. This is difficult because one cannot just add up all of the reigns of the Kings of Judah, as was done by Archbishop Ussher and many after him, because many of these kings were coregent with their sons following them, and these coregencies were sometimes full, in which case a year was counted to both the King and his son, and they were sometimes inferior in the case of the son so that only the father got the joint regnal year. Also there were many years where no king at all got the regnal year due to a dispute or no son being old enough etc. However the LWs are the first group to do this accurately (in our opinion) and the precise Chronology is in section [91]. A third way to calculate the last and 40th regnal year of Solomon is to count backwards through the Kings of Israel starting from the historically accepted date of the fall of Samaria to Shalmanezer the King of Assyria, in the year from 723Nisan (March April) to 722Nisan. This was the 9th year of King Hoshea of Israel. This calculation is as difficult as in the case of the Kings of Judah, in fact it is more or less the same calculation. Again we have done it in section [91].

So taking the easier route, we start with the first regnal year of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon being 604 BC - see [99]. We then deduce that Jerusalem fell to Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC from the following scriptures:

Josephus, the Jewish Historian who was a contemporary of Jesus, describes 586Ab10 as the day when Solomon's temple itself was actually burnt. Nebuchadnezzar's 19th year was 586 BC. Don't worry about the Nebuchadnezzar/Nebuchadrezzar distinction, names got bent somewhat with the many dialects and languages both in Israel and in Babylon, where these accounts were written (see David Rohl - 'Legends' the Book).

As mentioned above, the first regnal year of Nebuchanezzar was 604 BC, so the 4^th year of Jehoiakim was 604 BCE, so the first year of Jehoiakim was 607 BCE. 23 years from the 13^th year of Josiah, i.e. taking the 13^th year as the first of the 23 years of the word occurring to Jeremiah, is the 35^th ‘year of Josiah’ which was 604, so the first year of Josiah was 638. But Josiah only reigned for 31 years:

So Josiah’s 31^st and last regnal year was 608. Rawlinson’s 'History of Ancient Egypt' has 608 as the year that Pharaoh Nechoh killed Josiah at Meggido, 'Cambridge Ancient History' has 609. The bible account says:

So Josiah was killed in 608, then Jehoahaz was appointed for 3 months by the people of the land, then he was stopped from reigning by Nechoh. So no one was reigning for a period and then Jehoiakim had 11 regnal years starting in 607. So Jehoiakim may have acceded in 608 or in 607. In fact Jehoiakim acceded on 608Chislev10 (which was Wednesday 13th November 608 BC) - see [97]. He would have got 607 as his first regnal year even if his brother Jehoahaz had been reigning in it, because he was struck from the records by Nechoh who made Jehoiakim king ‘in place of Josiah’, not in place of Jehoahaz. Now Jehoiakim was not a vassal king of Jehovah because he was a vassal of Pharaoh Nechoh, being chosen by him and paying him an annual tribute. Nechoh was obviously not a vassal of Jehovah since he was not a son of David. He was not even a son of Abraham. So at this point Pharaoh was ‘Caesar’ in Jerusalem, since Jesus said:

So if Pharaoh was getting the individual’s tax, then he was Caesar and not God. So God’s protection of Jerusalem ended with Jehoiakim. And the royal line of Davidic Kings representing him also ended then, officially on 607Nisan1.

We can count back from the abandoning of Jerusalem by God to Nechoh as manifested by the Vassal Kingship of Jehoiakim, to the reign of Solomon, without having to do the entire Chronology of the kings of Judah and of Israel, by virtue of the prophecy of Ezekiel 4:

The iron griddle is protection from God, Ezekiel is representing the enemies of Jerusalem. This protection from God for Jerusalem fails at Pharaoh Necho’s victory over Josiah at Meggido, but Jerusalem itself does not fall until Nechoh appoints Jehoiakim.

So the siege of Jerusalem lasts 390 days, and is completed before Ezekiel turns over for the next 40 days on his other side. So Jerusalem is besieged with iron wall protection from God for 390 years, then this protection goes at the end of this period. This entire 390 year siege period is also an error period for the house of Israel. This error started in Tishri in the year in which Solomon died, his last regnal year:

So Jeroboam returned immediately on Solomon’s death. And by the 7^th month, Tishri, the sin of the house of Israel had started, since none of the subjects of Jeroboam would have celebrated booths on the 7^th month in the face of the wonderful new improved festival arranged so conveniently for the 8^th month, with the majestic golden calves. This kind of thing is typical of state run false religions. Now every 7^th secular year, which ran from Tishri to Elul, was a land sabbath under the law of Moses:

The bible shows that the agricultural year, which was the fiscal year in what was an agricultural economy, started in the seventh month, Tishri:

So the turn and outgoing, meaning beginning, of the agricultural year was the seventh month. The ingathering of all the crops is obviously a good end to an agricultural year. The modern Jews celebrate their new year on Tishri1. The agricultural year is rather like the tax year in the UK, which doesn't run from January1 to January1 but rather from April5 to April5.

Now we know that this 390 year error period contained land sabbath errors, since the house of Israel was evicted from it’s land and taken prisoner to Babylon because of these errors.

So these 390 error years are agricultural years running from Tishri to Elul, just as the land sabbath years did.

Now we know that the iron griddle had officially failed by Nisan1 in 607, the start of the first regnal year of Jehoiakim. So the agricultural year in which the iron griddle failed was the one from 608Tishri to 607Elul. So this was the 390^th year of error for the house of Israel and so 997Tishri to 996Elul BCE was the first agricultural year of error. So Solomon’s last regnal year was from 997Nisan to 997Adar BCE - see [BLC].

So since his 40^th year was 997, his first was 1036.

The 4^th year of Solomon was 1033. If this was the 480^th after the exodus, then the zeroth after the exodus was 1513. So the Exodus from Egypt was in 1513 during the festival of cakes from Nisan15 to Nisan21. The Jews actually crossed the Red Sea on 1513Nisan21, which is when they stopped having to eat half cooked cakes in a hurry. Now we know that they wandered about in the wilderness for 40 years after they left Egypt and before they entered the promised land.

Now the sons of Israel crossed the Jordan entering the promised land on the 10th day of Nisan 1473:

The last time that God's people were in a promised land, God's own land, before this, was Eden. In fact the period between Eden and the entrance into the Promised land is a malediction on God's people, wherein God does not provide for them a blessed land. We have called this malediction the Exedenic Times. Now in Genesis 4, Cain is given a vengeance protection by God that lasts 7 times, in fact 7 years in the literal meaning, and prevented anyone from killing him. We will discover using the Symbolic Structure Principle and the Times Principle of the code, that the symbolic meaning of this is that a law for God's people, which stipulated that anyone who murdered a brother of his (any other member of God's people) should not be killed but should be thrown out of God's people for a period of 7 years, was in force for 2520 years or 7 prophetic times (7 periods of 360 years), from the day of eviction from Eden, until the first passover in the promised land. This then places the sin of Adam as occurring 2520 years before 1473Nisan BC, i.e. in 3993Nisan BC.

Bible Reading: Genesis Chapters 3 and 4

Website/Book Sections to read first: The Times Principle, The Symbolic Structure Principle

The First Murder and the Penalty

The account of Cain's murder of his brother is:

In the literal meaning, Cain killed Abel, and Cain was not his brother's guardian, because, although big brothers should look after little brothers,  these boys were actually grown up. For this murder occurred in 3928Nisan (11 times or 3960 years before Jesus' death, this being the symbolic meaning of Genesis 4:23,24, a comparison of 77 times with 7 times, 77times/7times = 11times. This is not covered in this site/book at present, but Jesus was the 77th in the maternal line from God through Eve, Lamech was the 7th in line from Adam, through Cain, Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, Methushael, Lamech). One can deduce that Cain was born in 3992Shebat and Abel in 3990Tishri, from the fundamental pattern - see [41], [42].

God cursed Cain by banishing him 'from the ground'. What does this mean, did he float in the air? Well, Cain himself says that: From your face I shall be concealed. This would mean that he cannot appear before God's face, which is effectively a disfellowshipping or an excommunication. So the 'ground' in question was a physical area where God's people resided at that time, from which Cain was banished. In fact this would have been the area of residence of Adam and his sons, who existed amongst general Homo Sapiens at that time. It seems that Cain was sent to live with those who did not know God, the sons of 'evolution' as it were - see [1]. It seems also that the sons of Adam had an administration from God after Eden in some localised area too. 

A further penalty on Cain was that when he cultivated the ground it would not give him its power. Yet the earth was already cursed, to the extent that one had to work very hard to get food from it. So in Cain's case, it would give him nothing of any use, no edible food. So Cain offered God substandard fruits from a cursed ground, and God's penalty for this was that the ground would no longer even give him these if he cultivated it. God's penalty for the murder of Abel was the banishment, the excommunication.

Cain therefore had to live off the efforts of other peoples' cultivation. In other words he would spend the rest of his life begging for the very garbage that he offered to God, in order that he might eat!!

Now Cain complained that anyone finding him would kill him. So God said:

This was a vengeance covenant from God to kill anyone who killed Cain, for God's justice is a soul for a soul! There was no need for God himself to kill Cain at that point, because he was already 'dead', being under Adam's death penalty. He was going to die in any event, although God could have justly killed him there and then had he so chosen, but he was actually extending to Cain mercy. Quite obviously any would be killer of Cain would not be killed himself 7 times by God, because his justice is soul for soul, not soul for 7 souls! So it is rather a penalty that lasted for 7 times. So that a better translation would be:

We apply the Times Principle of the Code here, although purely in the literal meaning (we are just using Revelation 12, which reveals that '3½ times' is 1260 days, so that '7 times' is 2520 days). We then see that this vengeance penalty lasted for 7 years of the Biblical Lunar Calendar (BLC), or 2,520 lunar days. 

The bible does not literally say (as far as we are aware) if Cain actually was killed within this 7 year period (from 3928Nisan to 3921Nisan), but he did take up residence in the Land of Nod (Fugitiveness - for the location of Nod today - see [1]), where he fathered Enoch, so it looks unlikely that he was killed. In fact he also had a sign set up by God that no one finding him should strike him (Genesis 4:15), so we must assume that with this level of Divine protection, he survived at least 7 years! Actually one can deduce that the vengeance protection on Cain worked because Lamech composed his song for his wives saying:

The appropriate vengeance for murder is death, although the scripture is deliberately ambiguous here. We know that the justice of God is soul for soul, although this penalty was not applied immediately to Cain. So if anyone had killed Cain (and no one did) then he would have to have been killed, presumably by a justice system amongst Adam's sons. This 7 year protection, was the import of the sign set up by God that no one finding Cain should strike him. 

The Symbolic Meaning of the Vengeance Protection for Cain

It is not hard to see whom Cain represents in the greater meaning. All that Cain had done before the vengeance penalty was decreed for him, in the literal meaning, was murder his brother and present a useless sacrifice. So he obviously stands for false worshipping murderers amongst God’s people.

In the case of Ezekiel's actions as a prophet in Ezekiel 4:1-12, we know that each day of his literal actions stood for a year in the real fulfillment on God's people. This was part of the basis for the Times Principle. So applying the Times Principle of the code, we know that the length of the vengeance penalty from God for true worshippers who physically kill false worshipping murderers, the greater Cain class, is 7 Prophetic Times or 2520 years.

In the literal meaning, the vengeance from God for any son of Adam who killed Cain within 7 years of his killing Abel was physical death. But in the symbolic meaning we have a vengeance penalty on true worshippers who kill false worshipping murderers among their brothers, i.e. amongst God's congregation. It is important to realise that this was a law for God's people. We will call it the law of Vengeance, or the Vengeance law. It was basically prohibiting God's people from taking the law into their own hands and killing murderers themselves. God was saying: Vengeance is mine (Deuteronomy 32:35). 

But quite obviously God would not afford a greater protection to a false worshipping murderer amongst his people than he would afford a true worshipping non murderer. So what we are seeing here is a law from God on all of his true people that lasted for 2520 years, which prohibited them from killing each other under any circumstances. But what was the vengeance that God himself took on his own people who did murder one of their brothers?

The Start of the 2520 year Law of Vengeance 

Well, to work this out we must first realise that Eve herself was the first human false worshipping killer. Of course this is not a politically correct statement - but there again politicians are liars so political correctness is absolute incorrectness. But it is a correct statement because Jesus said to the Pharisees, referring to Satan:

So the Law of Vengeance was in place when Cain killed Abel. Therefore since God did not kill Cain instantly, for he went on to have his son Enoch, we know that the vengeance that God took under this law was not instant death. Also had this been the penalty then there would have been no need for the 7 year protection that Cain was afforded.

The penalty under the Law of Vengeance

Cain and Abel offered their sacrifices to God, in Nisan 3928 - see [101]. And since Abel offered firstlings of the flock in Nisan (March/April) it  would surely have been on Nisan14. This was not a chance occurrence. These two brothers did not wake up on that day and say, hey, let's offer up a sacrifice. The account proves that Adam and his family were involved in the worship of God. Not only that but Abel was aware of the necessity for a blood sacrifice, and therefore he must have been aware of the possibility of Adam's sin being paid for by another death, so he must have understood the concept of the ransom. Look, God does not oppress persecute or torture his people. He does allow them to suffer all three if they desert him however. But he would not have left Adam in the dark for long after his eviction from Eden. So Adam's family were all aware of the possibility of a resurrection at the time of the two brothers' sacrifice. In fact given that God did look with favour on Abel's sacrifice, he actually had a resurrection at that time. So having the possibility of a resurrection removed from them would have been a real penalty.

Now Cain was expelled from God's people, under this law, but that could hardly be described as vengeance for a murder from God, until one realises that God's people are in a saved condition. God's people have the hope of a resurrection, and when one is expelled, on proper grounds, this hope has gone temporarily at the least. This is therefore a form of death. It is not the second death which is the 1,000 years sin bin, but it is the imminent threat of the same. One clue as to the vengeance that Cain suffered is that Cain was to be concealed from God's face. This means that he was unable to approach God in Worship, for the period of his excommunication - which is of course precisely what excommunication is - although prayer would still have been available to him. But God is one who forgives after seven times:

Cain, who originated with the wicked one (1 John 3:12 - NWT)
Cain, out of the wicked one he was (1 John 3:12 - Greek Interlinear)

Which means that he did not come back repentant. Even so, God would not remove all hope from him, and he always had that option after 7 years. So now we are able to state the Law of Vengeance, which applied to God's people for 2520 years after Adam's sin.

Law of Vengeance (3993Nisan - 1473Nisan): If one of God's people kills another of God's people, then he is expelled from his people for 7 years.

The End of the 2520 Law of Vengeance

The vengeance law was replaced by the law of Moses. This law allowed God's true people to kill false worshippers and murderers by stoning them. The law came into force on 1513Sivan3 at mount Sinai see - Quick introduction to the bible. But the children who were born in the 40 year period in the wilderness, between 1513Nisan (March/April) when the Jews left Egypt and 1473Nisan when the Sons of Israel entered the promised land, were not circumcised. They therefore did not come under the law of Moses and therefore were still under the law of vengeance, once they came of age, 20 years of age, whilst they remained in the wilderness.

These people were circumcised on the 10th of Nisan (March /April)1473 BC:

And those that were 20 years old or more would then have come under law at the passover, celebrated 4 days later:

So 1473Nisan14 would be the last day of the 2520 law of vengeance by God, it being replaced by the law of Moses, in the cases of those born in the wilderness. A law which provided for vengeance by men, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blow for blow, branding for branding, and soul for soul.

So the Exedenic Times, the period during which God's people were not in a blessed land of God, was coincident with the period during which the law of vengeance applied to God's people. A period of 2520 years. This vengeance law/blessed land mix is the knot of Genesis 4. It is a typical feature of the bible code, that an account will say nothing about a vital issue, such as how long God's people were Exedenic for (not in Eden/Promised land). But it will give instead full details of what at first sight looks like an irrelevant issue. However a closer examination reveals that there is a relationship between these two issues, which enables one to get the information on the vital issue, from the seemingly irrelevant information in the account.

If not then unfortunately you remain one of the men having knowledge only of the News of the World ! 

In Ezekiel we read:

This must follow from a general principle that land when defiled takes 7 'times' until it is cleansed. Now the ground was cursed when Adam sinned. And 7 Prophetic Times later, 2520 years later, the first fruits of the promised land, a blessed land, were eaten.

The Counting Dimension and the Cryptic Dimension in Joshua 5

2x.3x+1x=7x, 7 Times. 'Day the that' is the day of the end of the Exedenic times.

7x, 7 Times. 'Year the that' is the year of the end of the Exedenic times.

The above scriptures are from the NIVHEOT, Hebrew Interlinear Bible, the count only works on the original Hebrew and Greek text. This day of eating was Nisan15 and the day of no more manna was Nisan16.

Now eating the produce of the land is repeated, and 'next day' is repeated.

So applying the Repetition Principle, these are the key symbolisms, and they have greater meanings. Can you remember what happened on the previous occasion that God's people ate some food in a blessed land? It was back in Eden!! So the greater meaning has to do with Eden. Yes it is the Exedenic Times, the 2520 year 'day' of no eating from the produce of any blessed land which had just ended. For some interesting cases under the Law of Vengeance and the Law of Moses - see [133].

Jesus died and the law ended on Nisan14. He was resurrected and the new temple of his body was inaugurated on the 3rd day counting inclusively, i.e. Nisan16. This was the new worship system. God's system change, always takes 3 days as above. Now it is not hard to see that Adam, who we know sinned in 3993Nisan, sinned on 3993Nisan14. Because he was passed over at his sin. Adam was the original passover, he was a firstborn son who should have been killed for his crime instantly, but he was not, in God's mercy. So the eviction and the founding of 'the world', which was the next system after Eden, a system which we are still in, was on 3993Nisan16. The last thing that God made, after Adam's sin, but before the founding of the World, still in the 6th creative day of Genesis, was some clothes for Adam and Eve, long garments of skin. 

So God rested from his creative works only in the 7th creative day of Genesis. This being the day when he did not create anything.

So the Kingdom of God is a sabbath. It is a rest from man’s work. Hence we read:

But it is a sabbath that lasts for 1,000 years:

But it is also a ‘day’, being the last 'day' and the 'day' of judgmement:

So it is a 1,000 year sabbath day of judgement. But a sabbath is the 7^th of 7 equal periods. So there must be a 6,000 year working week preceding this sabbath. But this is what Peter is referring to when he says in the context of the destruction at Armageddon:

Quite obviously this taking 1,000 years for a day must not escape our notice in respect of a promise of destruction and of a new heavens and a new earth, i.e. a promise of the kingdom of God. A 'day' which we know is 1,000 years long. In fact the 'day of judgement and destruction of the ungodly men' of verse 7 is one of the 1,000 year days of verse 8. So Peter is saying that one should take 1,000 years for one day in our calculations as regards this promise. So the kingdom of God is a 1,000 year Sabbath day, or judgement day, and being a sabbath it is preceded by 6 other 1,000 year days making a 6,000 year working week.

What then are man’s own works ?

Our work in this system of trying to combat our intrinsic desire to sin in the face of a giant misleading by Satan. We need to do these works in order to gain entry to the next system. The next system however does not require such works because Satan is dead.

So we have to work to eat both physically and spiritually, and we have our fleshly works to try and conquer. So man’s working week started when Adam sinned and was evicted from Eden, and started having to work for a living. This was coincident with God starting his rest, since his last creative act was when he made long garments of skin for Adam and Eve:

So much more becoming than fig leaf loin coverings! This is a beautiful cryptic scripture. The long garments of skin were their new bodies, which replaced their indefinitely long garments of skin, which they had before they sinned. In fact the first Adamic body had a maximum lifetime of 960 years - see [235]. YHWH (Jehovah, Yahweh, the true God, Creator) created two new creations, namely an ageing man and an ageing woman. Before this they had just been created as steady state fleshwise perfect creatures, creatures whose flesh does not deteriorate with time. But now these creatures were to become slowly deteriorating fleshly creatures. It is a masterful thing that Jehovah did. To build a car that slowly deteriorates in an uncontrolled way is easy. But, to build one that deteriorates according to plan and maintains all of its faculties during this whole degradation process requires complete understanding of all things mechanical.

In any event, the bible itself describes the new corrupting bodies of Adam and Eve as something that God himself 'proceeded to make'. And the corruption in the bodies is of course a result of and a physical declaration of the corruption in their spirits. But now the very same one, out of his undeserved kindness, as a result of the courage and love of Jesus Christ, is prepared to make a judicial declaration concerning their sons and their daughters and finally concerning both Adam and Eve themselves, that they are righteous in spirit, through the blood of the Christ. And just as the man's and the woman's bodies became corrupt as they left Eden, so we will become incorruptible, though still mortal in many cases, when we enter into the next system, the second Eden at Armageddon.

Scientifically, God would presumably have changed the genes of Adam and Eve, from permanently renewable copies, to slowly degrading copies, and this would have certainly been a divine act of creation, albeit a destructive act of creation. Therefore the seventh creative day began when Adam was thrown out of the Garden after he sinned and after God had remade their bodies, this being God’s sabbath from his creative works. But when God stopped working at creation, man started working at cultivation:

In the garden there was no cultivation, God planted the trees himself:

So man’s working week started at his eviction from Eden. So whilst Adam was resting in the garden, God was working. And as soon as Adam starting working God started resting. So mankind in this world, since the founding of the world, at his sin, has not been able to enter into God’s rest (i.e. have a sabbath from our works which is coincident with a sabbath from his works). But in the Kingdom of God we do, at last, for it is the second Eden.

Putting this diagrammatically we have:

So here it is, the end of the world, 2008Nisan14, March21st 2008.
And the first day of the Kingdom of God, 2008Nisan16, March 23rd 2008.

For the whole structure of the 150 day battle of Armageddon - see [154] and [163]. Now we look at a second way of deducing the date of Armageddon from the Times Principle and the birth of Moses, the one placed in an ark and the one drawn out of the water.

When Jehovah spoke to Joshua saying: Get up! this must have been on the 30^th day. Because since Joshua obeyed God, the mourning would have stopped on the day that God spoke. We know that the length of this mourning was 30 days so Moses died 30 days before 1473Nisan7, which was 31st March (Gregorian). We can use the BLC program [download] to count back 30 solar days from 1473Nisan7 (31st March 1473 BC). Of course we end up on March 1st 1473 BC which was 1474Adar1 in terms of the BLC (which measures years from Nisan to Nisan, not from January to January). So Moses' first year by Hebrew counting was 1593. So he was born in 1594 - see [3].
