The Scriptural Chronology of the Bible - James Allen Moseley - Bog

Did you know that the Bible contains data, like a mathematical word problem, that allows us to calculate the exact depth of Noah's Flood? To calculate the precise hour when Jesus died on the Cross? To know exactly how old Daniel was when he survived the lions' den? The Bible's wealth of such information is beyond what most people would ever suspect.Astonishingly, the authors of the sixty-six books of the Bible always get their dates right. Many modern Bible scholars and pastors, however, do not, and errors in chronology often lead to a misunderstanding of Biblical truths. You understand much more of why things in the Bible happened if you understand when they happened.The perfection of Biblical chronology is a strong testimony to the Bible's inerrancy. It is one persuasive proof that the Bible is divine, not merely human, in origin. In our digital age, two news outlets cannot report a single story that happened this morning without errors and contradictions. The authors of the Bible, writing without the aid of spreadsheets, voice recorders, astronomy software, and atomic clocks, were able to tell the entire story of the Bible, from Eden to the Apostle Paul, with perfect synchronicity. Say what you like about the Bible, but first understand what the Bible actually says about itself. This book proves that the Bible is far more consistent than what often passes for science.One of the errors of historians and skeptics is to measure the Bible against ancient secular histories and archeological finds. But those resources are inconsistent and speculative. The Jewish historian Josephus, for example, gives three different lengths for the reign of the Emperor Tiberius - and he was a near contemporary, born in the year Tiberius died. Since the Bible is an ancient document with a complete and coherent record of the events it reports, it is much more logical to measure all other books and evidence from antiquity against the Bible. Why would you use a ruler with missing segments to measure a ruler that is whole?I have been working on Bible chronology since I began teaching theology to adults in 2009. I have examined every date that I have found in the Bible and put all those dates together in a giant spreadsheet so that I could compare the dates against each other, against dates from secular histories, and against our Gregorian calendar, the Hebrew calendar, and, sometimes, the Roman, Seleucid, and Babylonian calendars. It has been painstaking work, and the spreadsheet, if printed, would cover more than 7,000 pages.After writing my eighteen books on theology, I enrolled in Liberty University as a candidate for a master's degree in theology. My reason for doing this was to test all the assertions in my books against the formal teaching of professional academia. So far, I have found no evidence to undermine my theses, including my Bible chronologies. (My grade point average is 4.0, which I state not to brag, but because it would be unimpressive if I told you I was a master's degree candidate but was flunking!)If one particle of data in the Bible were in error, logically we could doubt much of the rest. One loose thread could unravel the whole sweater. Remarkably, the chronologies that the Bible preserves and presents are perfect - absolutely without error, and this book proves it.
