Adam & Eve, 0 AM (4174 BC)

---

Bible Chronology by Christopher Fleischman // most recent update 2/19/2025.

This Chronology uses the exact dates given in the Douay-Rheims Bible 

 Douay-Rheims Bible Online, Official Catholic Version with Search. (drbo.org) 

By doing so, we will discover that in the book of Kings, there will be a few instances that Israel did not have an official king.

God the Almighty created Adam in the 0th year of Adam. We will use the label AM to represent "In the year of Adam". Hence God created Adam in the year 0 AM. 

In order to convert AM (In the year of Adam), to BC (before Christ) we will use the date when the Assyrian army captured Samaria. 

This occurred in the year 720 BC based on the "Sennacherib's Prism", a hexagonal shaped, red baked clay artifact. On it is written a description of Sennacherib's siege of Jerusalem during the reign of king Hezekiah. It was discovered in the ruins of Nineveh in 1830 and is now located at the Oriental Institute in Chicago Illinois USA.

According to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_siege_of_Jerusalem

" In 720 BCE, the Assyrian army captured Samaria, the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel, and carried away many Israelites into captivity. "

We will discover later on when we give the dates of the Kings of Israel and Juda, that the year 0 AM is equivalent to the year 4174 BC.

We assume, of course, that the Bible is totally accurate in all respects, which implies that there were times when there was not an established king as there were also times when there were no judges.

Adam was created in the year 0 AM (4174 BC)

Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son to his own image and likeness, and called his name Seth. "

Genesis 5:5 " And all the time that Adam lived came to nine hundred and thirty years, and he died."

Adam lived 930 years.

Seth was born in the year 130 AM (4044 BC)

Genesis 5:6 "Seth also lived a hundred and five years, and begot Enos." 

Genesis 5:8 " And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died."

Seth lived 912 years.

Enos was born in the year 235 AM (3939 BC)

Genisis 5:9: "And Enos lived ninety years, and begot Cainan." 

Genesis 5:11 " And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years, and he died."

Enos lived 905 years.

Cainan was born in the year 325 AM (3849 BC)

Genesis 5:12 "And Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Malaleel." 

Genesis 5:14 " And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died."

Cainan lived 910 years.

Malaleel was born in the year 395 AM (3779 BC)

Genesis 5:15 "And Malaleel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared." 

Genesis 5:17 " And all the days of Malaleel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died."

Malaleel lived 895 years.

Jaren was born in the year 460 AM (3714 BC)

Genesis 5:18 "And Jared lived a hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Henoch." 

Genesis 5:20 " And all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died."

Jaren lived 962 years.

Henoch was born in the year 622 AM (3552 BC)

Genesis 5 21 "And Henoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Mathusala. " 

Genesis 5:23 " And all the days of Henoch were three hundred and sixty-five years."

Genesis 5:24 " And he walked with God, and was seen no more: because God took him.

Mathusala was born in the year 687 AM (3487 BC)

Genesis 5:25 "And Mathusala lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech." 

Genesis 5:27 " And all the days of Mathusala were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died."

Mathusala lived 969 years.

Lamech was born in the year 874 AM (3300 BC)

Genesis 5:28 "And Lamech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and begot a son. [29] And he called his name Noe, saying: This same shall comfort us from the works and labours of our hands on the earth, which the Lord hath cursed." 

Genesis 5:31 " And all the days of Lamech came to seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. "

Lamech lived 777 years.

Noe was born in the year 1056 AM (3118 BC)

"Genesis 5:31 And all the days of Lamech came to seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. And Noe, when he was five hundred years old, begot Sem, Cham, and Japheth."

Genesis 9:29" And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."

Noe lived 950 years.

This would suggest that perhaps Sem was born when Noe was exactly 500 years old; however, we will now prove that Noe was actually 502 years old when Sem was born.

Sem was 100 years old when he begot Arphaxad.

"Genesis 11:10 These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood." 

Genesis 11:11 " And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters."

Sem lived 600 years.

Now the question is, when they say "two years after the flood" do they mean two years after the beginning of the flood, or two years after the end of the flood. We need to understand this, or we could be off by one year, since the flood lasted about a year. Fortunately, the Bible gives us the answer.

Genesis 7:11 "In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened: [12] And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. [13] In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark:"

So, Noe was 600 years old at the beginning of the flood. Also note that Arphaxad, son of Sem had not been born yet.

Since Noe was born in 1056 AM, then the flood began in 600 + 1056 = 1656 

AM.

Noe's flood began in the year 1656 AM (2518 BC)

Noe was in the Ark for about one year as shown next.

Genesis 8:13 "Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried. [14] In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried. [15] And God spoke to Noe, saying:  [16] Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee. [17] All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it. [18] So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him."

Again, note that Arphaxad had not been born yet, otherwise they would have mentioned that 9 people went out of the arc.

Genesis 9:28 "And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years: [29] And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."

Since the flood began when Noe was 600 years old and since 600 + 350 = 950, this implies that when the Bible uses the words “after the flood” they actually mean after the flood first began (when the rain first began to fall), which was when Noe was 600 years old.

So now we can answer our question as to when Sem and Arphaxad was born. 

Genesis 11:10 "These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood." 

This means Sem was 100 years old, two years after the flood first began. Since Noe was 600 years old when the flood first began, then two years later, Noe would have been 602 years old. Hence 602 - 100 = 502. 

Hence Noe was 502 years old when Sem was born. Noe was born in 1056 AM, hence Sem was born in 502 + 1056AM = 1558 AM

Sem was born in the year 1558 AM (2616 BC)

So even though Genesis 5:31 may suggest Noe was 500 years old when Sem was born, Noe actually was 502 years as we just proved.

Genesis 5:31 "And all the days of Lamech came to seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. And Noe, when he was five hundred years old, begot Sem, Cham, and Japheth. 

Genesis 11:10 "These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood." 

Since Sem was born in 1558 AM, then 100 + 1558 AM = 1658 AM

Arphaxad was born in the year 1658 AM (2516 BC)

Genesis 11:12 "And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale. 13  And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters."

Arphaxad lived 338 years. 

Sale was born in the year 1693 AM (2481 BC)

Genesis 11:14 "Sale also lived thirty years, and begot Heber. 15  And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters."

Sale lived 433 years. 

Heber was born in the year 1723 AM (2451 BC)

Genesis 11:16 "And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg.17  And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters."

Heber lived 464 years, 

Phaleg was born in the year 1757 AM (2417 BC) 

Genesis 11:18 "Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu. 19  And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. " 

Phaleg lived 239 years.

Reu was born in the year 1787 AM (2387 BC)

Genesis 11:20 "And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug. 21  And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters."

Reu lived 239 years. 

Sarug was born in the year 1819 AM (2355 BC)

Genesis 11:22 "And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor. 23  And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years: and begot sons and daughters."

Sarug lived 230 years. 

Nachor was born in the year 1849 AM (2325 BC)

Genesis 11:24 "And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare. 25  And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years: and begot sons and daughters."

Nachor lived 148 years.

Thare was born in the year 1878 AM (2296 BC)

Genesis 11: 26 "And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran" 

Genesis 11:32 "And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran."

Thare lived for 205 years.

Abraham or Abram's father Thare was about 70 when Abram was born. We will assume Thare was exactly 70 years old. 

Abraham was born in the year 1948 AM (2226 BC)

Deuteronomy 25:7 “And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years.” 

Abraham lived 175 years.

Note in the year 1948 AD Israel became a state and the Jews for the first time since 70 AD came back to their homeland.

As a side note, about the time that Thare lived, so also did Job.

Job lived after the flood as shown in the following two passages:

Job 22:15 “Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have trodden? 16 Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation.

Job 26:5 “Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.”

Job lived until he was at least 175 years of age. 

Job 42:16 “And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, unto the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days.”

If we assume Job was only 20 years of age when his wife had her first child, and if we assume only 1 ½ years between each child, then Job would have been at least 35 years of age when his first family passed away. 

Job then lived another 140 years. So, Job would have lived at least 175 years and more likely at least 200 years when he passed away similar to Thare.

People did not live that long during Moses time. Moses passed away when he was 120 years of age.

Deuteronomy 34:7 “Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, neither were his teeth moved.”

So, Job lived around Abraham’s father's time or a little earlier. The book of Job is found in the Israelites bible; however, Job was not part of Abraham’s lineage. So, how did the Israelites learn about Job? 

Perhaps, Job was the grandfather of Sarah, Abraham’s wife since in the Bible both Job’s daughters and Sarah were noted as being exceptionally beautiful.

Job 42:13 “And he had seven sons, and three daughters. 14 And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil. 15 And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.”

Genesis 12:11 “And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:  12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.  13 Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.  14 And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.  15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.”

End of book of Job

We will now continue with Abraham.

Genesis 12:1 "And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. [2] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed. [3] I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed: [4] So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran. [5] And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan." 

Abram (Abraham) went into the land of Chanann in the year 2023 AM (2151 BC)

Note: This is the year 2023 AD, which implies the Warning experience (Second Pentecost), where time will stop and everyone will have a min-judgement with our Lord Jesus Christ, could happen soon.

Genesis 21:3 "And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac. [4] And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him, [5] When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born." 

Isaac was born in the year 2048 AM (2126 BC)

Genesis 25:26 "Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him. [27] And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents."

One score year is 20 years as can be understood from President Lincoln's address, which he read on November 19, 1863.

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." 1863 - (4 x 20) +7 = 1776

Hence, threescore years is 3 x 20 = 60. Hence Isaac was 60 years of age when he begot Jacob.

Jacob was born in the year 2108 AM (2066 BC)

Genesis 37:1 "And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.  2 And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime."

Genesis 37:28 "And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt. 

Joseph interprets Pharao's dream (7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine)

 Genesis 41:26 " The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.  27 And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:  28 Which shall be fulfilled in this order:  29 Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:  30 After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land, 31 And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.

Genesis 41:46 "(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.  47 And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt."

Jacob's son's went to Egypt a second time to obtain food during the famine.

Genesis 43:1 "In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land.  2 And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again and buy us a little food."

Then Jacob and his sons were invited into Egypt by the King of Egypt (Pharao).

Genesis 47:5 "The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee. [6] The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle. [7] After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him. [8] And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life? [9] He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers. [10] And blessing the king, he went out.  11 But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded." 

Genesis 47:28 "And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years." 

Since, Jacob was 130 years of age when he entered Egypt during the famine, and since Jacob was born in the year 2108 AM, then:

Jacob was 130 years old when he and his sons entered Egypt in the year 2238 AM (1936 BC)

The famine continued even after Jacob with his sons entered Egypt.

Genesis 47:11 "But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.  12 And he nourished them, and all his father's house, allowing food to every one.  13 For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.  14 Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king's treasure.  15 And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money." 

Since Jacob's sons went twice to Egypt to obtain food during the famine and since the famine continued after Jacob and his sons entered Egypt, then we will assume that after 3 years into the famine, Jacob and his sons entered Egypt. Since Jacob and his sons entered Egypt in the year 2238 AM, then the famine began 3 years before this:

Seven-year famine began in the year 2235 AM (1939 BC)

Since the seven-year famine was preceded by seven years of plenty then:

Seven years of plenty began in the year 2228 AM (1946 BC)

Since Joseph was 30 years at the beginning of the seven years of plenty:

Genesis 41:46 "(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.  47 And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt."

Then Joseph was born in the year 2198 AM (1976 BC)

Since Joseph was approximately 16 years old when he was sold into slavery:

Genesis 37:1 "And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.  2 And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy.."

Then Joseph was sold into slavery in the year 2214 AM (1960 BC)

To determine which Pharao was King when Joseph was sold into slavery, we note that for a total of 430 years the children of Israel abode in Egypt.

 Exodus 12:40 "And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years." 

We also note that the Egyptians brought the Israelites under bondage and afflicted them for 400 years.

 Genesis 15:11 "And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away. [12] And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him. [13] And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years. [14] But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance. [15] And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age."

Hence for only the first 30 years did the Israelites have peace in Egypt. Since, Jacob and his sons entered Egypt in the year 2238 AM, then:

Israelites have peace in Egypt from 2238 AM (1936 BC) to 2268 AM (1906 BC)

Then a new Pharao becomes ruler and places the Israelites under bondage:

Exodus 1:7 "The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.  8 In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:  9 And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.  10 Come, let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome us, depart out of the land.  11 Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens, and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom and Ramesses."

However, before the Israelites ever built Ramesses, the Bible already mentions that the Pharao gave land in Ramesses to the Israelites.

Genesis 47:11 "But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded." 

Therefore, the city of Ramesses must have had a different name when the Israelites first moved into Egypt. This proves that the Israelites would change the name of cities in the Bible to the match the most current name.

Israelites are brought under bondage in Egypt in the year 2268 AM (1906 BC)

Since the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years and since they entered in  2238 AM then:

 Exodus 12:40 "And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years." 

Israelites leave Egypt led by Moses in the year 2668 AM (1506 BC)

Since the city Ramesses was built in the 19th Dynasty by Pharao Ramesses II (1345-1279 BC), then the Israelites could not have built this city, but instead built the city Avaris.

So, the Israelites actually built Avaris. Avaris was later annexed and became part of Ramesses. It is well known by Bible scholars that the Hebrews would change the name of a town in their bible, if the town's name was later changed. This is why in Exodus 1:11 the Bible mentions Ramesses, when actually the Israelites built Avaris. 

Moses was 80 years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt

Exodus 7:6 "And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: so did they. [7] And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao. [8] And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: [9] When Pharao shall say to you, shew signs: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into a serpent." 

Hence Moses was born in the year 2588 AM (1586 BC)

Also from the Acts of the Apostles we learn that Moses was 40 years old when he left Egypt after killing an Egyptian. He was 80 years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt and he was 120 years old when he died. 

Acts 7:23 "And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. [24] And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury. [25] And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.  [26] And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another? [27] But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? [28] What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? [29] And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons. [30] And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush."

Hence, Moses fled Egypt in the year 2628 AM (1546 BC)

Hence, the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt occurred in the year 2668 AM (1506 BC)

Moses then led the children of Israel to mount Sina (Sinai) which is not in the Sinai Peninsula, but is in Arabia as St. Paul explains. 

Epistle of St Paul to the Galatians 4:22 "For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise. [24] Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar: [25] For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children."

Also, from the last chapter and last verse of Numbers 36:13 and the first chapter and verse of Deuteronomy states that the plains of Moab upon the Jodan over against Jericho was also over against the Red Sea, hence the Red Sea is the Gulf of Aqaba.

Numbers 36:13 "These are the commandments and judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan over against Jericho."

Deuteronomy 1:1 "These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:  2 Eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.  3 In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to them:"

Also, from Jeremiah

Jeremiah 49:20 "Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.  [21] The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea."

Edom is just above the Gulf of Aqaba. Hence the Red Sea is the Gulf of Aqaba.

Also from 2nd Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles)

"8:17 Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom." 

Also, many chariot wheels were found at the bottom of the Gulf of Aqaba by Ron Wyatt in 1978 as explained at this website.

https://apologiaway1.wordpress.com/2021/06/13/chariot-wheels-found-at-bottom-of-red-sea/

"The Hebrew Exodus from Egypt is in scope the most miraculous event ever to be recorded by man. It’s historicity though has been challenged and reduced to mere mythology by many religious theologians and biblical archaeologists until recently. In 1978 Ron Wyatt, a biblical archaeologist without formal training, confounded the opponents of biblical historical accuracy by discovering the true “Exodus Red Sea Crossing” in the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) at Nuweiba, Sinai Peninsula."

So the Red Sea that Moses and the Israelites crossed is very likely the Gulf of Aqaba and not the Gulf of Suez and they probably began their crossing at the Nuweiba peninsula.

Hence, the true Mount Sinai is probably Saudi Arabia's Jabal Maquala mountain as explained in the New York Post "Archaeologist claims Mount Sinai found in Saudi Arabia" posted on 8-2-2021

"The Doubting Thomas Research Foundation has conducted in-person research at Jabal Maqla in Saudi Arabia to examine the evidence. At this time, we believe that this is the most likely location for Mount Sinai."

Then Moses and the children of Israel were in the desert for 40 years.

Exodus 16:35 "And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan."

Numbers 14:33 " Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed in the desert, [34] According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge: [35] For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die."

Numbers 32:13 "And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed"

Deuteronomy 29:5 " He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age."

Hence, the Israelites were in the desert for 40 years. Since the Israelites left Egypt in the year 2668 AM (1506 BC) then:

The Israelites were in the desert for 40 years from 2668AM (1506 BC) to 2708AM (1466 BC) and this is when Moses died, and he was 120 years old.

Deuteronomy 34:4 "And the Lord said to him: This is the land, for which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: I will give it to thy seed. Thou hast seen it with thy eyes, and shalt not pass over to it. [5] And Moses the servant of the Lord died there, in the land of Moab, by the commandment of the Lord. And he buried him in the valley of the land of Moab over against Phogor: and no man hath known of his sepulchre until this present day. [7] Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, neither were his teeth moved."

The devil then wanted the body of Moses, but St. Michael received the body of Moses by simply saying to the devil, "The Lord command thee" as explained by St Jude.

Epistle of St. Jude 1:9 "When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee. "

Then Josue (Joshua) lead the children of Israel into the promise land.

Josue 1:1 "Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and said to him: [2] Moses my servant is dead: arise, and pass over this Jordan, thou and thy people with thee, into the land which I will give to the children of Israel."

So, the children of Israel went into their promise land, Chanaan, in 1466 BC.

Saul reigned 1110-1070 BC

David reigned 1070 to 1030 BC

“3 Kings 2:11 And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.  12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.”

Solomon reigned 1030 to 990 BC

“3 Kings 11:42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were forty years. 43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.”

It took seven years to build the Temple.

3 Kings 6:37 “In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:  38 And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.”

The house of God was completed in the year 1030 – 11 = 1019 BC

Kings of Israel

Jeroboam 990 to 968 BC (did evil)

3 Kings 12:2 "But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt."

3 Kings12:20 "And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only"

Prophesy of Josias

“3 Kings 13: 1 And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.  2 And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee.”

“3 Kings 14:20 And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.”

Nadab 968 to 967 BC (did evil)

“3 Kings 15:25 But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.”

Asa became king of Juda in 970.

There was not an established king on the throne from 943 to 939 BC

“3 Kings 16:21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri.  22 But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned.”

Amri (Omri) 939 to 928 BC

“3 Kings 16:23 In the one and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.”

Asa became king of Juda in 970 BC.

Achab (Ahab) 932 to 911 BC (did evil) (Evidently Aham and his father Amri both reigned for 4 years)

“3 Kings 16: 29 Now Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda. And Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years.”

Asa became king of Juda in 970 BC.

3 Kings 16:30 And Achab the son of Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.  31 Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored him.  32 And he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria”

Ochozias (Ahaziah) 911 to 910 BC (did evil)

Josaphat became king in 928 BC.

Jehu 898 to 870 BC

“4 Kings 10: 35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years.”

Joachaz (Jehoahaz) 868 to 852 BC (did evil) (Evidently, there wasn’t a king for 2 years)

“4 Kings 13:1 In the three and twentieth year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda, Joachaz the son of Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria, seventeen years.”

Joas king of Juda became king 891 BC.

Joas (Joash) 854 to 838 BC (did evil) (Joas and his father evidently reigned together for two years)

“4 Kings 13:10 In the seven and thirtieth year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz reigned over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.”

Joas king of Juda became king 891 BC.

Jeroboam (Jeroboam II) 837 to 796 BC (did evil)

“4 kings 14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amasias son of Joas king of Juda, reigned Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel in Samaria, one and forty years”

Amasias became king of Juda in 852 BC.

Zacharias (Zachariah) 772 to 772 BC (did evil) (Evidently for 24 years there wasn’t an established king on the throne.) 

“4 Kings 15:8 In the eight and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda, reigned Zacharias son of Jeroboam over Israel in Samaria six months:”

Azarias became king of Juda in 810 BC.

Perhaps Zacharias, Sellum and Manahem fought for the throne and in the end Manahem won after 24 years.

“4 Kings 15:10 And Sellum the son of Jabes conspired against him: and struck him publicly and killed him, and reigned in his place.  11 Now the rest of the acts of Zacharias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?  12 This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: Thy children to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.”

Sellum (Shallum) 771 to 771 BC

“4 Kings 15: 13 Sellum the son of Jabes began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda: and reigned one month in Samaria.  14 And Manahem the son of Gadi went up from Thersa: and he came into Samaria, and struck Sellum the son of Jabes in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead

Azarias became king of Juda in 810 BC.

Manahem (Menahem) 771 to 761 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 15: 17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda, reigned Manahem son of Gadi over Israel ten years in Samaria.”

Azarias became king of Juda in 810 BC.

Phaceia (Pekahiah) 760 to 758 BC  (did evil)

“4 Kings 15: 23 In the fiftieth year of Azarias king of Juda reigned Phaceia the son of Manahem over Israel in Samaria two years.

Azarias became king of Juda in 810 BC.

Phacee (Pekah) 758 to 738 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 15:27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azarias king of Juda reigned Phacee the son of Romelia over Israel in Samaria twenty years.

Azarias became king of Juda in 810 BC.

“4 Kings 15: 29 In the days of Phacee king of Israel came Theglathphalasar king of Assyria, and took Aion, and Abel Domum Maacha and Janoe, and Cedes, and Asor, and Galaad, and Galilee, and all the land of Nephtali: and carried them captives into Assyria.

From 737 to 729 BC (Osee did not officially reign. So, for 8 years there was not and established king on the throne.)

Osee (Hoshea) 729 to 720 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 15: 30 Now Osee son of Ela conspired, and formed a plot against Phacee, the son of Romelia, and struck him, and slew him: and reigned in his stead in the twentieth year of Joatham the son of Ozias.”

Foot note from Douay Rheims Bible: [30] "In the twentieth year of Joatham": That is, in the twentieth year, from the beginning of Joatham's reign. The sacred writer chooses rather to follow here this date than to speak of the years of Achaz, who had not yet been mentioned.”

Joatham became king of Juda in 756 BC so this would imply that Osee became king in 736 BC; however, later in the Bible it states:

“4 Kings 17:1 In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.  2 And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him. 3 Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute. 4 And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,  5 And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.”

Footnote from Douay-Rheims Bible:[1] "In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda": He began to reign before: but was not in quiet possession of the kingdom to the twelfth year of Achaz.

Achaz became king of Juda in 741 BC

In 720 BC the Assyrians carried Israel away to Assyria

“4 Kings 17:  6 And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.  7 For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.”

“4 Kings 17: 24 And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.”

From Wikipedia: Assyrian siege of Jerusalem - Wikipedia

“In 720 BCE, the Assyrian army captured Samaria, the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel, and carried away many Israelites into captivity.”

Tobias was then lead away captive as explained in the book of Tobias

Tobias 1:1 " Tobias of the tribe and city of Nephtali, (which is in the upper parts of Galilee above Naasson, beyond the way that leadeth to the west, having on the right hand the city of Sephet,)  2 When he was made captive in the days of Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, even in his captivity, forsook not the way of truth, "

Quote from Wikipedia: Shalmaneser V - Wikipedia 

"Shalmaneser V was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from the death of his father Tiglath-Pileser III in 727 BC. Shalmaneser V reigned from 727–722 BC. 

******************************************************************

Kings of Juda

*******************************************************************

Roboam: 990 to 973 BC (did evil)

“3 Kings 14: 21 And Roboam the son of Solomon reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem the city, which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there.” 

2 Paralipomenon 11:17 " And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years."

Abiam (Abijah) 972 to 970 BC (did evil)

“3 Kings 14: 31 And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and his mother's name was Naama an Ammonitess: and Abiam his son reigned in his stead.” 

“3 Kings 15: 1 Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.  2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.”

Jeroboam became king of Israel in 990 BC.

Asa 970 to 929 BC  (did that which was right)

“3 Kings 15:8 And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.  9 So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,  10 And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.”

Jeroboam became king of Israel in 990 BC.

Josaphat (Jehoshaphat) 928 to 904 BC

“3 Kings 22:41 But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel. 42 He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem:”

Achab became king of Israel  in 932 BC.

Joram (Jehoram) 905 to 898 BC  (did evil)

4 Kings 8: 16 In the fifth year of Joram son of Achab king of Israel, and of Josaphat king of Juda, reigned Joram son of Josaphat king of Juda. 17 He was two and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

Joram became king of Israel in 910 BC.

Ochozias (Ahaziah) 898 to 897 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 8:  25 In the twelfth year of Joram son of Achab king of Israel, reigned Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda.  26 Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel.”

Joram became king of Israel in 910 BC.

" 2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 22:2 Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri."

So Ochozias was either 22 or 42 years of age when he began to reign.

Athalia (Athaliah) 897 to 891 BC

“4 Kings 11:1 "And Athalia the mother of Ochozias seeing that her son was dead, arose, and slew all the royal seed.  2 But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, so that he was not slain.  3 And he was with her six years hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia reigned over the land.”

Joas (Joash) 891 to 852 BC (did good)

“4 Kings 12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.”

Jehu became king of Israel in 898 BC 

"2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 24:24 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee."

Amasias (Amaziah) 852 to 823 BC (did good)

“4 Kings 14: 1 In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.  2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem:”

Joas king of Israel became king in 854 BC so Amasias became king in 852 BC. Amasias reigned 29 years so his reign ended in 823 BC. 

In addition,

“4 Kings 14:17 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

Joas king of Israel reign ended in 838 BC, so Amasias died 15 years later, which is 823 BC again showing that Amasias reign ended in 823 BC.

“4 Kings 14:18 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachis. And they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.  20 And they brought him away upon horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.”

Evidently from the time the people of Juda made a conspiracy against
Amasias plus the time it took to find him in Lachis and kill him plus the time to assign a new king was 13 years as shown next.

Azarias or Ozias (Uzziah) 810 to 758 BC (did right) (Evidently for 13 years there was not an established king on the throne as explained previously) 

“4 Kings 15: 1 In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Azarias son of Amasias, king of Juda.  2 He was sixteen years old, when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem:”

Foot note in Douay Rheims Bible [1] "Azarias": Otherwise called Ozias.

Jeroboam became king of Israel in 837 BC

"2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 26:15 And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him." 

Joatham (Jotham) 756 to 741 BC (did right) (Evidently for 2 years there was not an established king on the throne) 

“4 Kings 15: 32 In the second year of Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel reigned Joatham son of Ozias king of Juda.  33 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem:”

Phacee became king of Israel in 758 BC.

Achaz (Ahaz) 741 to 726 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 16: 1 In the seventeenth year of Phacee the son of Romelia reigned Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda.  2 Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem:” 

Phacee became king of Israel in 758 BC.

“4 Kings 16: 6 At that time Rasin king of Syria restored Aila to Syria, and drove the men of Juda out of Aila: and the Edomites came into Aila, and dwelt there unto this day.”

"2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 28:3 It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel. 

Ezechias (Hezekiah) 726 to 697 BC (did good)

“4 Kings 18:1 In the third year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, reigned Ezechias the son of Achaz king of Juda.  2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem:” 

Osee became king of Israel in 729 BC.

“4 Kings 18: 4 He destroyed the high places, and broke the statues in pieces, and cut down the groves, and broke the brazen serpent, which Moses had made: for till that time the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called its name Nohestan.  5 He trusted in the Lord the God of Israel: so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Juda, nor any of them that were before him:” 

Footnote from Douay-Rheims Bible: “[4] "And he called its name Nohestan": That is, their brass; or a little brass. So he called it in contempt, because they had made an idol of it.”

“4 Kings 18: 9 In the fourth year of king Ezechias, which was the seventh year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, Salmanasar king of the Assyrians came up to Samaria, and besieged it, 10 And took it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Ezechias, that is, in the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, Samaria was taken:”

Assyrians besiege Samaria in 722 BC and took Samaria in 720 BC.

This is confirmed by Wikipedia:

 Assyrian siege of Jerusalem - Wikipedia 

" In 720 BCE, the Assyrian army captured Samaria, the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel, and carried away many Israelites into captivity. The virtual destruction of Israel left the southern kingdom, Judah, to fend for itself among warring Near-Eastern kingdoms. "

Quote from Wikipedia: Shalmaneser V - Wikipedia 

"Shalmaneser V was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from the death of his father Tiglath-Pileser III in 727 BC. Shalmaneser V reigned from 727–722 BC. Though Shalmaneser V's brief reign is poorly known from contemporary sources, he remains known for the conquest of Samaria and the fall of the Kingdom of Israel, though the conclusion of that campaign is sometimes attributed to his successor, Sargon II, instead. 

Juda is taken by the Assyrians in 712 BC 

“4 Kings 18: 13 In the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against the fenced cities of Juda: and took them.”

Ezechias became king in 726 BC.

Quote from Wikipedia:

Sennacherib meaning "Sîn has replaced the brothers", was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from the death of his father Sargon II in 705 BC to his own death in 681 BC. The second king of the Sargonid dynasty, Sennacherib is one of the most famous Assyrian kings for the role he plays in the Hebrew Bible, which describes his campaign in the Levant. Other events of his reign include his destruction of the city of Babylon in 689 BC and his renovation and expansion of the last great Assyrian capital, Nineveh. 

 
Although Wikipedia says that Sennacherib reigned from 705 BC to 681 BC, he probably was present during the invasion of Juda in 712 BC and the Israelites were lead to believe that he was the king of the Assyrians.

The Book of Judith occurred during this time period.

King Arphaxad was very likely King Deioces as shown next.

Judith 1:1 “Now Arphaxad king of the Medes had brought many nations under his dominions, and he built a very strong city, which he called Ecbatana,”

Foot note from Douay-Rheims Bible: “[1] "Arphaxad": He was probably the same as is called Dejoces by Herodotus; to whom he attributes the building of Ecbatana, the capital city of Media.”

Quote from Britannica: Deioces | king of Media | Britannica

“According to the 5th-century-BC Greek historian Herodotus, Deioces was the first king of the Medes. Herodotus claimed that the Median tribes at first lived in villages without any political organization; when they decided to elect a king, they chose Deioces, a village judge renowned for the justice of his decisions. Deioces united all the Median tribes, built Ecbatana (modern Hamadan, Iran) as their capital, and ruled for 53 years (728–675 BC). Modern scholarship has shown that Herodotus probably confused Deioces with Phraortes, who established a kingdom in Media and ruled from about 675 to about 653 BC.

Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians was very likely Sargon II as we show next

Judith 1:5 “Now in the twelfth year of his reign, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, who reigned in Ninive the great city, fought against Arphaxad and overcame him,”

Quote from Britannica: Sargon II summary | Britannica

“Sargon II, (died 705 BC), Assyrian king (r. 721–705 BC). He continued the empire-building work of his presumed father, Tiglath-pileser III. One of his aims was to prove the might of the Assyrian god Ashur by enlarging the empire he had inherited. His conquests ranged from southern Babylonia to Armenia and the Mediterranean. He probably died in battle in northwestern Persia. His son, Sennacherib, succeeded him.”

We will call Sargon II, Nabuchodonosor to be consistent with the Bible. Hence, in the year 721 – 12 = 709 BC, Nabuchodonosor overcame Arphaxad. The following quote from Wikipedia states that this year was 715 BC, which is close to 709 BC.

Quote from Wikipedia  Deioces - Wikipedia

“ In 715 BC, Sargon II, the Assyrian king, learned that Deioces had allied with Rusa I, the Urartian king. He started watching Deioces and during his war with the Mannaeans, he entered the Medes again so as to end its "anarchy", as he claimed. He finally captured Deioces and exiled him along with his family to Hama (in Syria today).”

In 721 -13 = 708 BC Nabuchodonosor sent Holofernes to attack Israel

Judith 2:1”  In the thirteenth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, the two and twentieth day of the first month, the word was given out in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he would revenge himself.  2 And he called all the ancients, and all the governors, and his officers of war, and communicated to them the secret of his counsel:  3 And he said that his thoughts were to bring all the earth under his empire.  4 And when this saying pleased them all, Nabuchodonosor, the king, called Holofernes the general of his armies,  5 And said to him: Go out against all the kingdoms of the west, and against them especially that despised my commandment.”

This all took place near the Valley of Jezreel and the Plain of Esdrelon, which is in Northern Samaria.

Judith 7:3 "All these prepared themselves together to fight against the children of Israel, and they came by the hillside to the top, which looketh toward Dothain, from the place which is called Behlma, unto Chelmon, which is over against Esdrelon." 

The last king of Israel was Osee (Hoshea) 729 to 720 BC, so there wasn't a king in Israel during this time in 708 BC. Ozias was one of the rulers but not a king. He was a prince.

Judith 6:11 " In those days the rulers there, were Ozias the son of Micha of the tribe of Simeon, and Charmi, called also Gothoniel." 

Judith 13:23 "And Ozias the prince of the people of Israel, said to her: Blessed art thou, O daughter, by the Lord the most high God, above all women upon the earth."  

Manasseh 697 to 642 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 21: 1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem:”

" 2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 33:6 And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger." 

" 2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 33:11 Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon. 12 And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.  13 And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God. " 

Amen (Amon) 642 to 640 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 21:19 Two and twenty years old was Amen when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: “

Josias (Josiah) 640 to 609 BC (did right)

“4 Kings 22:1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign: he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem:”

 The Battle of Megiddo took place in 609 BC as explained in Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Megiddo_(609_BC)

"The Judaean forces battled the Egyptians at Megiddo, resulting in Josiah's death and his kingdom becoming a vassal state of Egypt."

Joachaz (Jehoahaz) 609 to 609 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 23:31 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem:”

“4 Kings 23:  34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.”

“4 Kings 23: 35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.”

Joakim (Jehoiakim) 609 to 598 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 23: 36 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:”

“4 Kings 24: 1 In his days Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up, and Joakim became his servant three years: then again he rebelled against him.”

“Daniel 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.”

Joakim became king in 609 BC so in 606 BC, Nabuchodonosor besieged Jerusalem. 

Hence in 606 BC Nabuchodonosor besieged Jerusalem. 

Note: The Israelites thought Nabuchodonosor was king when he besieged Jerusalem in 606 BC, but actually he was prince and co-regent with his father Nabopolassar. He became king in 605 BC. Here are quotes from the following internet sites:  

 Nebuchadnezzar II | Biography, Accomplishments, & Facts | Britannica 

" In 607/606, as crown prince, Nebuchadnezzar commanded an army with his father in the mountains north of Assyria, subsequently leading independent operations after Nabopolassar’s return to Babylon. After a Babylonian reverse at the hands of Egypt in 606/605, he served as commander in chief in his father’s place and by brilliant generalship shattered the Egyptian army at Carchemish and Hamath, thereby securing control of all Syria. After his father’s death on August 16, 605, Nebuchadnezzar returned to Babylon and ascended the throne within three weeks.  "

 Nebuchadnezzar's Dream | Welcome to International Gospel Teacher 

" Nebuchadnezzar II ruled the Babylonian Empire with his father from 607 B.C. till his father died, then ruled alone from 605 B.C. to 562 B.C. He took captives from Jerusalem in 606 B.C., in 597 B.C., and in 586 B.C., when Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. Daniel was an early Jewish captive who became one of Nebuchadnezzar’s wise men. "

“4 Kings 24:5 But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers:  6 And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.” 7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his own country: for the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates.

Joachin (Jeconiah) 598 to 598 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 24:8 Joachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem:”

" 2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 36:9 Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord."

Foot note from Douay-Rheims Bible " [9] "Eight years old": He was associated by his father to the kingdom, when he was but eight years old; but after his father's death, when he reigned alone, he was eighteen years old. 4 Kings 24. 8." 

Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem again in 598 BC under Joachin's reign.

This is close to what Wikipedia says.

From Wikipedia: Siege of Jerusalem (587 BC) - Wikipedia

“In 597 BCE, the Babylonians besieged Jerusalem, and the city surrendered.[2][6] Nebuchadnezzar pillaged Jerusalem and deported Jeconiah and other prominent citizens to Babylon; Jeconiah's uncle, Zedekiah, was installed as king”

“4 Kings 24:8 "Joachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign,and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Nohesta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.  9 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his father had done.  10 At that time the servants of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was surrounded with their forts. 11 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to the city with his servants to assault it.  12 And Joachin king of Juda went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his nobles, and his eunuchs: and the king of Babylon received him in the eighth year of his reign. "

Again, the Israelites thought Nebuchadnezzar became king in 606 BC, so 606 - 8 = 598 BC.

(Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon) 

“4 Kings 24:17 17 And he appointed Matthanias his uncle in his stead: and called his name Sedecias.”

Sedecias (Zedekiah) 598 to 587 BC (did evil)

“4 Kings 24:18 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:”

“4 Kings 25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.”

The ninth year of the reign of Sedecias was the year 589 BC and this is when Nabuchodonosor came and surrounded Jerusalem.

This is confirmed by a quote from Wikipedia:

" The siege of Jerusalem (circa 589–587 BCE) was the final event of the Judahite revolts against Babylon, in which Nebuchadnezzar II, king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, besieged Jerusalem, the capital city of the Kingdom of Judah. Jerusalem fell after a 30-month siege, following which the Babylonians systematically destroyed the city and the First Temple.[1][2] The Kingdom of Judah was dissolved and many of its inhabitants were exiled to Babylon. "

“4 Kings 25: 6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him. 7 And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.”

“4 Kings 25:  8 In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.  9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.  10 And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.  11 And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.  12 But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.”

Again, the Israelites thought Nebuchadnezzar was king in 606 BC, so 606 - 19 = 587 BC.

Hence, in 587 BC the Temple was burnt and the walls broken down.

It took seven years to build the Temple.

3 Kings 6:37 “In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:  38 And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.”

The Temple was completed in the year 1030 – 11 = 1019 BC

So, the Temple lasted for 432 years, which is almost the same number of years that the Israelites were in Egypt, which was 430.

Exodus 12:40 " And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years."

Now we will give dates from the time Jesus Christ was born, up to the end of time.

We know Jesus Christ was born right after the 62 weeks of years, because Daniel said, "unto Christ the prince"

Daniel 9:25 "Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times. [26] And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his."

Notice Daniel does not specify exactly how many years after 62 weeks Jesus will be slain, he just says after 62 weeks. We know Jesus died when he was 33 years old.

Then in the year 70 AD the Roman army captured Jerusalem and destroyed both the city and its Temple. 

Daniel 9:26 "And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation."

The seven weeks that St. Gabriel speaks of in Daniel 9:25 refers to the time when Jesus Christ returns. Israel became a state in 1948, but did not take over Jerusalem until after the 6 day war in 1967. Jerusalem and the streets were rebuilt but there were no walls to rebuild. However, between 1968 - 1977 there was excavation of the Ophel of Jerusalem. 

 QEDEM M. 29. EXCAVATIONS SOUTH OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT: THE OPHEL OF JERUSALEM | IES 

"Excavations in the South of the Temple Mount. The Ophel of Biblical Jerusalem. From 1968 to 1977, large-scale excavations took place in Jerusalem along the southern wall of the Temple Mount and the southern portion of the western wall."

Also, from 1968 to 1978 there was the Temple Mount Excavations in Jerusalem by Benjamin Mazar. This may fulfill the second part of Daniels prophecy "there shall be seven weeks... and the street shall be built again and the walls in straitness of times." 

Hence the streets were built up again and the walls were excavated in straitness of former times. So, if we take seven weeks of years, which is 7 x 7 = 49 and add this to 1977 we arrive at the year 2026 or add this to 1978 we arrive at the year 2027 for the approximate years of the Warning experience. 

It is very possible that the Warning experience may occur around the year 2026 or 2027 or soon after.

Next, Daniel 9:26 states “and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.”

Of course, there have been many wars so when Daniel states, “the war”, it must be the most devastating war ever, probably World War III, which would occur just before the appointed desolation. 

But the next part of the prophecy is very encouraging.

Daniel 9:27 “And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week…”

To understand what it means to "confirm the covenant" we read in the Bible:

2 Paralipomenon (2 Chronicles) 15:12 " And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul. 13 And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman. 14 And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of cornets, 15 All that were in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about."

That’s great news! One week of years is only seven years. So, in only seven years Jesus Christ will confirm His covenant with many, meaning, Jesus Christ will invite everyone into His Catholic Church. 

The seven-year period of conversion mentioned in Daniel 9:27 will probably being around the year 2026 or 2027 or soon after.

Something miraculous is about to take place soon where Jesus Christ will make Himself known to everyone as being the only Savior of the world, giving everyone one last chance to reach heaven before the final desolation of the world. 

This will be a second Pentecost or a Warning from God. Just as the Mother of God found herself gathered together with the Apostles and disciples in the Cenacle of Jerusalem when the miracle of the descent of the Holy Spirit took place, in the same way, in the spiritual cenacle of Mary’s Immaculate Heart the miraculous event of the second Pentecost is about to take place.

We will now finish the prophecy of Daniel, chapter 9.

Daniel 9:27 “And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fail: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.”

Hence, 3 ½ years after the second Pentecost the “the victim and the sacrifice shall fail”. Since in Matthew 24:15, Jesus Christ specifically quoted this part of the prophecy of Daniel to explain a future event, and since we know that Jesus Christ is the Victim, the Sacrificial Lamb, then “the victim and the sacrifice” in the prophecy of Daniel must be referring to the Holy Mass of the Catholic Church. The Holy Mass is the daily Sacrifice, the pure oblation, which is offered to the Lord everywhere, from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Daniel 12:11 “And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days…”

Up until now, we have been talking about the period of time 3 1/2 years after the Warning experience. Now we will consider what will take place immediately after the Second Pentecost, which we will call the first set of 3 1/2 years, where the three beasts will reign as prophesied by Daniel chapter 7.

Four beasts 

Daniel 7:3” And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea.”

We must first determine was "a time" period is.

Daniel 7:12 “And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and a time.”

So, the question is how long is “a time”? We have the answer from,

Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time. 26 And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end.  27 And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him.  28 Hitherto is the end of the word.”

Foot note from Douay-Rheims Bible: 25] "A time, and times, and half a time": That is, three years and a half; which is supposed to be the length of the duration of the persecution of Antichrist.

This is confirmed by:

Apocalypse 13:5” And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do two and forty months.”

also by:

Apocalypse 11:2” But the court, which is without the temple, cast out, and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot two and forty months:”

And also from Daniel:

Daniel 12:11 “And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days,”

Hence “a time” is approximately one year. 

We now have our answer. The other three beasts reigned for two years just before the Anti-Christ came on the scene.

Daniel 7:11 “I beheld because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:  12 And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and a time.”

We will now explain the four beasts

First Beast (Lioness with wings)

Daniel 7:4 “The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her.”

There are only two countries that used a winged lioness, Persia and Egypt.

Persia had a false god, which was a winged lioness-griffin. An Achaemenid plaque featuring a winged lioness-griffin, dated to between 500 and 330 B.C.E was discovered and is currently( as of 2023 AD) located in the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

Note: Persia became a Muslim state in 650 AD.

Egypt also had the false god Sekhmet which was depicted with the body of a woman and a lion head, with wings.

Hence, the first beast starts out as the Muslim people who will be quickly (wings of an eagle) transported to other countries and then will be be-heading Christians. Eventually, the Muslim people will find it difficult to travel quickly (wings plucked off) and their reign of terror will slow down. Then one man will emerge, an Egyptian Muslim, and will reign as the Anti-Christ. 

Second beast (bear)

Daniel 7:5 “And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.”

The symbol of the bear represents Russia, and specifically communism. The three rows of teeth represent WWIII. After the brief reign of terror of the Muslims, WWIII will occur and Russia with China will control the world under Communism. Recall that the reign of the first three beasts (which includes this one) will be two years all together.

Third beast (leopard)

Daniel 7:6 “After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.”

The leopard is freemasonry. The four heads are four empires, which had exercised tyrannical power over the people of God; the Egyptian, Assyrian, Chaldean, and Persian. During David’s time, the Persian was still in control and that is why there were only four heads. 

However, when the Antichrist comes to power, the leopard will have seven heads as explained by St. John the Apostle in the Apocalypse 13:1, where the seven heads represent the Egyptian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and the Antichrist empire.

After the brief reign of communism, the free mason will also have a brief reign, where they will divide the world into Unions.

Fourth beast (Anti-Christ)

Daniel 7:7 “After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.  8 I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.”

The fourth beast is the Ant-Christ who will be totally possessed by Satan and therefore will have unusual power. The ten horns are the ten regions of the world, which the free masons will hand over to the Anti-Christ, who will kill three of them and become the leader. 

Then after the reign of the three beasts, (3 ½ years after the second Pentecost), the continual sacrifice of the Holy Mass of the Catholic Church shall be suppressed. 

The Catholic Church is about to accept the Protestant doctrine that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at his Last Supper. In this abolition of the daily Sacrifice, consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the Antichrist which would last 1290, days or about 3 ½ years as quoted from Daniel 12:11.

If we assume the Warning occurs in September or October of 2027, this will bring us to 2027 + 7 = 2034. However, the times will be shortened by the earth rotating 3 times faster during the reign of the Antichrist and Antipope of 1,290 days as explained in the Apocalypse page.

Apocalypse 8:12 "And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the night in like manner."

Assuming this occurs day after day, in order for the day to not shine for a third part of it and the night's moon to not shine for a third part of it, the earth would have to speed up by three times.

Hence, the 7-year period is measured by the rotations of the earth, and this will actually be about 3 1/2 years or a little less like 3 years, when measured by a clock as explained in more detail on the Apocalypse page.

Hence, the end of the reign of the Antichrist and Antipope will actually be approximately around the year 2030 as measured by a clock. Then there is 1000 years of peace as mentioned in the Apocalypse 20:6:

Apocalypse 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. In these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ; and shall reign with him a thousand years."

So, the thousand years of peace will end approximately in the year 3030 as measured by a clock.

Then we will assume there is 3 years of battle.

Apocalypse 20:7 " And when the thousand years shall be finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go forth, and seduce the nations, which are over the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, and shall gather them together to battle, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.  8 And they came upon the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. 9 And there came down fire from God out of heaven, and devoured them; and the devil, who seduced them, was cast into the pool of fire and brimstone, where both the beast 10 10 And the false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

So, the final end of the world will be approximately in the year 3033 AD.

Apocalypse 20:11 "And I saw a great white throne, and one sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away, and there was no place found for them.  12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing in the presence of the throne, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
