Notes and Comments

1. The new moon of Genesis 1 was at 6 pm on March 3rd, 4075 BC. Then followed the six days to the Creation of Adam and Eve on March 9th, after which they entered 'the sabbath', or seventh day. The period of this 'sabbath' rest in Eden continued for 40 days until the Temptation and Fall, which was in the evening of April 19th. The Chronology of Redemption, commencing with the years of Adam, began the next day, April 20th.

2. The Chronology of Redemption registers exactly 40 Jubilee Cycles of 49 years to the day of Abram's birth. It ignores the 48 years of 354 days between the murder of Abel and the birth of Seth, whom Eve called 'another seed instead of Abel'(Genesis 4: 25) and it also ignores the five months of the Flood between the 17th of the 2nd, and the 17th of the 7th month (Genesis 7:11 & 8:4) a period of 147 days.

The birth of Abel was found to be at the end of 49 x 354 days from the Fall of Adam and Eve - October 16th 4028 BC. Like our Lord Jesus Christ - 'the Good Shepherd' - Abel lived for 33 x 354 days, 6 months and 14 days, and was slain on April 19th 3995 BC - the 80th solar anniversary of the Fall.

The break in the Redemption Chronology is 48 x 354 days between the murder of Abel and the birth of Seth, which took place on the 15th day of the 7th month, October 27th 3949 BC.
