The Writing on the Wall
Ch. 3a, "The Mirror"
(Bible Prophecy Numbers:
Intro., Chapters One, Two, Three)
Chapter Three: "In the mirror" is under construction!
But here are some key concepts:Bible time frames behave as in a mirror! That is, BC and AD act like a mirror. For example, the mirror of the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC becomes AD 586 in the mirror, and so forth.
('Zero' is not calculated between BC and AD, therefore add one year when crossing over from BC to AD ---a commonly know fact.)
You should first review the main chart before pondering the examples of the mirror.

The above biblical time fames continue
in the mirror back unto itself again full circle!
(See list of dates after this table)
| From 722 BC unto AD 539 are 1260 years! (Therefore the reverse is true also.) (Thus the sieges of Israel and Babylon are linked.) |
| From 724-722 BC unto AD 614-612 are 1335 years! (And the reverse.) (Thus, the sieges of Israel and Assyria are linked.) |
| From 612 BC unto AD 539 are 1150 years! (And the reverse.) (Thus the sieges of Assyria and Babylon are linked.) |
From the 7 years between Ezekiel's symbolic siege and the literal one by Babylon (593-586 BC), until the attempted siege and overthrow of Jerusalem by Babylon in 701 BC (AD) are 1290 years in
the mirror. (And the reverse.) (Thus the two sieges of Judah are linked.)
|
| All the above dates return back to where they began ---at the seven-year famine of Joseph in the mirror (AD/BC 1871-1878)! The same biblical time frames are again used. (The seven-year famine of Joseph is also when Israel went into Egypt 430 years until the Exodus, 1876-1446 BC.) |
| Also see the seven 390/430-year cycles from the Exodus to the mirror of the Exodus. |
| Even the 483/486½/490 days/years of Daniel 9 are so arranged as to make the four dates of the 'decree to re build the city/temple' (Daniel. 9:24-27) to crisscross one
another at 490 x 2 years back unto each other in the mirror!
Therefore, the average of all four decrees amount to 490 BC, (cf., to the birth of Christ, Rev. 12). |
| The Creation and Flood dates also circle back to itself in the mirror. |
(The 490-year cycles also continue perfectly into the "mirror"!)The mirror holds true on the times-1000-day ratio also!
When we later discuss these same time frames, except as "times 1000" (such as 1260 x 1000), we find the mirror again! For example, from Ezekiel's symbolic siege in 593-592 BC until the literal siege (except in the mirror as AD 589-586) are 430 x 1000 days (430,000 days.) Remember that Ezekiel was commanded to lay on his side 430 days to symbolically siege Jerusalem as a prophecy predicting the literal siege in 586 BC.
Also see, "The Mirror" in the Jewish Dating System.
(The dates used are common among modern scholarship, secular and religious alike. {2}
They are found in most modern commentaries and study Bibles. Importantly, they are not those of my own making.)
1.) Abraham enters Canaan: (2091 BC)
Abraham enters Canaan (and Egypt).
(Genesis 12:1-20; cf. 12:10 with Isaiah 52:4, see Isaiah 29:22, "…Who redeemed Abraham"), 2091 BC.2.) Israel enters Egypt: (1876 BC)
Israel enters Egypt exactly "430 years," ( Exodus 12:41), spr. 1876 BC until spr. 1446 BC.
(See Isaiah 51:9-13 for reference to Egypt’s shattering).3) Israel leaves Egypt: (1446 BC)
(See above, 1446 BC)
4) Fall of Israel (725-721 BC)
Assyria conquers Samaria, the capital of Israel, (i.e., the Northern Kingdom). The siege (likely) lasted a little more than three years, 725 to early 721 BC.{3}
5) Near fall of Judah (701 BC)
When Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, it virtually wiped out the Southern Kingdom of Judah as well, (701 BC), but Jerusalem was spared––for a time (Isaiah 36-39).
6) Fall of Assyria: (614-612 BC)
Assyria’s ancient capital of Ashur, and Nimrud (the capital at the time of Samaria’s fall), and Nineveh (the capital after that), all fell to the Babylonians and the Persians between 614-612 BC, "effectively putting an end to the Assyrian empire."{4}
7.) Fall of Judah: (589-586 BC)
Babylonia conquers Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. The full siege lasts 945{5} days, 589/8–586 BC.{6}
8.) Fall of Babylon: (539-536 BC)
Persia conquers Babylon in Oct. 539 BC. From 538 to spr. 536, Jews leave Babylon and begin to re-build the temple.
Fall of Persia: {Persia falls to Greece in 334–330 BC. See note{7}}
9.) Birth of "Suffering Servant" (5 BC or 1 BC)
"He was numbered with the transgressors," (Isaiah 53:12b, cf. 52:13–53:12).
Jesus was born about 5 BC, (but Dec. 25th 1 BC according to tradition).10.) Death of "Suffering Servant" (AD 30)
His ministry lasted 3½ years, aut. AD 26 to spr. AD 30; (although according to tradition the spr. of AD 30 is ironically when Jesus began His ministry instead!){8}
Chapter Four and Five are under construction:
In Chapter Four we discuss the principle that "each day equals a consecutive year/date of time". As with chapter three, chapter four is already out in rough form.Here is a rough draft of Chapter Four: Jubilee and Grand Jubilee Cycles
(The 490-year cycles also continue perfectly into the "mirror"!)
