Real History: The Timeline of the Bible

CREATION WEEK BEGINS ON A 364-DAY CALENDAR-GENESIS 1:1


Sunday October 13, 4115 BC at 6:00 p.m. in Israel is The Beginning of Creation Week. At 6:00 p.m. it becomes Monday
October 14 on a 364-Day Calendar and the start of Day 1 of Creation. Day 1 begins with the First Sunset (Evening) followed
by the First Sunrise (Morning) which completes the definition of a 24-hour day. Creation is completed when Adam and Eve
are created on Saturday October 19, the 6th Day of Creation. God rests on Sunday October 20, 4115 BC which is the 7th Day of
Creation Week. The Sunday-to-Sunday Days of Creation Week run parallel to Easter Week when the Genesis and Exodus
Calendars are placed side-by-side. The Days of Creation Week are not on the current secular Hebrew Calendar and occur
between Tishri 30 and Heshvan 1. Sunday October 13 becomes Tishri 31 at the end of the first year of the 364-Day Calendar.

The Timelines 364-Day Bible Reference Calendar (BR)


This Timeline assumes a 364-Day Year Calendar in Scripture. When it is 3:00 p.m. in Israel it
is 12 Midnight on the International Date Line. The normal Hebrew Calendar day starts at
6:00 p.m. The Sunday-to-Sunday Days of Creation Week plus the 356-Days of the Hebrew
Secular Calendar make up the Bible Reference Calendar (BR) with a total of 364-Days. This
Bible Reference Calendar (BR) appears to be consistent with the months and dates given
in Scripture and does not have a leap year. All dates on the Timeline use this Bible
Reference Calendar for calculations. The dates and days of the week on this Calendar are
printed in black ink. The Bible Reference Calendar (BR) generates the Gregorian and
Julian Solar Calendar days and has the same days on the same day of the week every year.
This Calendar is very similar to a calendar with 364-Days described in the Ancient
Hebrew text known as The Book Of Enoch. The Bible Reference Calendar is consistent
with a 364-Day Calendar fragment found at Qumran with Nisan 1 as a Wednesday.

Monday October 22 Heshvan 1, 4101 BC (GH) Gregorian-Hebrew Calendar 365.2421875 Days per year
The Bible Reference Calendar (BR) and the Gregorian-Hebrew Calendar (GH) start on the same day
but are 14 years and 8 days apart. 4101 BC (GH) is a corrective leap year with 365 days that is used
every 100 years except when the year ends on a Sunday. The Gregorian-Hebrew Calendar (GH) is
printed in red ink with 365 days in a year and an extra leap Year Day every 4 years. All (GH) dates are
the same day of the week as the Bible Reference Calendar dates in black ink and represent the same
dated event. At the Birth of Jesus in 5 BC, the 2 calendars are the same year plus 14 days apart. In the
year 2052 AD on the Gregorian Calendar, Monday December 30 will also fall on Monday December
30, 2059 AD on the Bible Reference Calendar (BR). The two calendars will be exactly seven years apart.
Data & Dates for this Timeline were calculated by Jim Liles using only Scripture in the New King James Version of the MacArthur
Study Bible. The year of 1445 BC as the year of The Exodus (See Chart on Page 3 of Study Bible) was used as the Anchor Year for
the entire Timeline. James Ussher's The Annals of the World and other resources were consulted for methodology only. To view

Exodus Begins

Nisan 10 Becomes the First Day on the Calendar as Exodus Begins

The Exodus is the center of Biblical History. All calculations on this Timeline use the start of the
Exodus as the Anchor Date for all other calculations. Only dates and years given in Scripture
are used to calculate the DFC dated events on this Bible Reference Calendar (BR) Timeline.

5 Year + 1 Day Rule Used to Measure Events


When calculating Births and Deaths simply add 1 day from the starting event for every 5 years. For
example: Moses is born on Nisan 1, is 80 years old on Nisan 17, and 120 years old on Nisan 25.
On Noahs 601st birthday, Tishri 1, he removes the Ark Covering. Tishri 1 is 120 Days after Iyar 28
on the BR Calendar. See web site Charts for DFC Dates of Patriarchs and Reigns of Kings.

The first Bible Timeline Poster was created on Monday October 30 Heshvan 7,
2006 (GH). The dates given in Scripture do not match the dates on the current
secular Hebrew Calendar developed after Scripture was written. In less than 41
years, the Gregorian Calendar and the 364-Day Bible Reference Calendar will be
exactly seven years apart since the Birth of Jesus. While this cannot be directly
connected to the future seven years of Tribulation, it may be later than you think.
