Bible Dates Itself Very Well

The bible record some landmark events and mentions the period in between them all the way from Genesis until Israel and Judah's Exile. We can use this, plus our knowledge of the time of Israel or Judah's exile to calculate what dates the various landmark events ocured. We can then use this date to compare with the dates of other events in the surrounding, that are not recorded in the bible. We can then see how much the events mentioned in the Israel's surrounding tallies with how they are mentioned in the bible. For instance we can check that Ramses 2 reigned from 1279BC-1213BC and you will see that it corresponds to the Period around Jephtah's leading of Israel. You can then read more about Ramses to check if he was aware of Jephtah and the events mentioned in the bible. 

 

Here is the method for dating when Israel moved out of Egypt. We will use the bible entirely!!

We are told that Israelite journey to cannan took 40 years, and then Joshua led them for 28 years. Now take a journey with me through the book of judges, beginning with Judges 3:8. We note that Israel was ruled and lead by several judges or nations, and in each reign, we are told how long it lasted. So we can simply add all of them. It goes this way:

Aram=8 years
Onthiel=40 years
Moab=18 years
Ehud=80 years
Canaan=20 years
Deborah=40 years
Midianite=7 years
Gideon=40 years
Abimelech=3 years
Tala=23 years
Jai=22 years
Philistine+Amonnites=18 years
jephtah=6 years
philistine=40 years
Samson=20 years
Anarchy~40 years
Samuel=40 years
saul=40 years
David=40 years
Solomon=40 years

This is a total of 653 years. From Solomon, we have the period of 'divided Kingdom' which (you can check it like in above) lasted for 390 years before Israel went to exile. From history, we know that Israel went to exile at 721 BC. So add 653+390+721=1764 BC!

This seems absurd!! It dates back to Pharaoh Yabkim Sekhienre! This is centuaries before Ramses 2, and yet the latter pharaoh ruled cannan! The period of kings and/or judges overlaps the period of Ramses 2's reign in Canaan!!!

You can do your own calculations and check it for yourself!!

I have checked for the Israeli kings. It seems there was an error. I think The 390 years includes upto the time of Judah going to exile, not Israel. Here we move:

Jeroboam=22years
Nadab=2 years
Baasha=24 years
Elah=2 years
Zimri=7 days
Omri=12 years
Ahab=22 years
Jehu=28 years
Jehoahaz=17 years
Jehoash=16years
Jeroboam II=41 years
Zecharia=6months
Shallum=1 month
Menahem=10 years
Pekahiah=2 years
Pekah=20 years
Hoshea=9 years.

You see that the total years add to 227 years. When you add 227+653+721=1601

So according to the bible, Israelites came from Egypt at 1601BC!! This is hillarios! It was the period of Hyksos Dynasty! There were no pharaohs! Specifically, it was during the reign of King Khyan.

But the important thing to note is that this math still shows the absurdity that Ramses 2 reigned in Canaan at the same time Judges of Israel reigned there!!

 Here is the math for Judah:

Rehoboam=17 years
Abijah=3 years
Asa=41 years
Jehoshaphat=25 years
Jehoram=8 years
Ahazia=1year
Joash=40 years
Amaziah=29 years
Azariah=52 years
Jotham=16 years
Ahaz=16 years
Hezekiah=29 years
Manaseh=55 years
Amon=2 years
Josiah=31 years
Jehoahaz=3 months
Eliakim=11years
Jehoiachin=3 months
Zadekiah=11years

TOTAL=387years

According to Wikipedia, the kingdom of Judah started at 930 BC and ended at 587 BC. So it lasted for 343 years. So you can see that the secular dating tallies well with the bible! So I don't know how one might re adjust how the secular dating is done, such that it rectifies the supposed errors in Egyptian dating, but somehow preserve this tally with the bible!! What consistent method can we use?

Combining all these, we can now calculate  the dates for all these events. Here is the results:

  • Well, if that were true, we would have more to show for it than just an entry in a book. We'd have museum pieces by now likely in the university of Jerusalem that would likely be scientifically dated as to how these empires began. Similar to other ruins found throughout history. What's more important to me, is the fact that the major story as to why people read books such as the bible, remains on point. How do you feel about the fact that the majority of religions around the world, tried to explain astronomy in relation to the sun. In other words, celestial science in the mind of ancients who didn't know how to express this. Likely remnants from ancient Sumerian and other empires who seemed to have a closer handle on such types of science past down through the ages.
  • We can assume that someone kept the historical records, just like we do in modern times. We know that Clinton came after Bush, then Bush the junior,...and so forth. Ancient Israelites were very literate, just like the Egyptians. But we also cannot rule out propaganda and exaggerations, especially in making the narratives. The 'journey to Canaan', for instance, might have been just a small pilgrimage during the times of Hyksos etc
  • Well, since it was humans who wrote the bible, their dating system had to come from somewhere.
