Research Summation Advances Faith reinforces testimony through
historical calendar information. Steps explaining my reasons
for doing ancient calendar research of the Holy Bible are included
from my earlier work. I divided Research Summation into four
articles with updates to reflect later findings. Ancient
people had good reason to worship God and time as one.

Summation Advances Faith
Traditional Christianity generally concentrates on the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. The teachings of Christ stand by
themselves. The entire Judeo-Christian heritage embraces the Holy Spirit that includes both
lunar/solar and solar calendars. Our foundation is the Almighty God. The
lunar/solar calendar fostered by Judaism worships father God. For several thousand
years, the Jewish lunar/solar calendar existed side by side with the
Egyptian solar calendar. The Roman Empire adopted the Egyptian
calendar when the cultures of Egypt and Rome were merging. At
the inception of Jewish and Egyptian calendars, prehistoric
societies had a structured culture. Complete with agricultural
class, royalty and priesthood, religion and calendar implementation
had priority. The given date for Creation via the Jewish
calendar is 3,761 B.C.E. Egyptian calendar science begins
between 4,241 B.C.E. and 4,236 B.C.E. Recently, some
Egyptologists suggest moving forward this Sothic Cycle beginning
date to 2,781 B.C.E. Other historians averaging 3,761 B.C.E.
and 4,241 B.C.E. reckon approximently 4,001 B.C.E. years midway
between the two calendar systems. Time split at the year 4,000
B.C.E. produced the Hebrew Calendar and the Egyptian Calendar for
this example. The most amazing component in nearly every deep
chronology is the one offered by and interpreted from, the Holy Bible. The sheer
mention of Bible references
throws a new spiritual light upon the work.
I later returned to the begat genealogy following Adam to unscramble
the rest of the computations. I had the gut instinct
impression that I was on the right track to full perception of the
recorded eras. Realizing that I detoured away from the
mainstream religious opinions of Adam's Creation story was my first
confrontation. Each character in the genealogy listed a
primary age until his first-born son and a secondary age extending
to the end of his lifetime. I strongly felt the Mayan Calendar
represented clues to explain the ages. My first step was to
double the Mayan 400-year-l/s-Baktun-cycle. I set aside
repeating 800-year blocks in the generations from Adam through
Jared. I began solving for the other pieces of the
puzzle. Writing helped me to understand the bigger
picture. I developed new terminology such as the 800-year
Generation Cycle to improve clarity.
I knew from the flood scriptures 12 months of 30 days each (Genesis 8:3, 4) occurred for a
360-day calendar year. Five days remained following a 360-day
midpoint length of year. The 360-day midpoint fell after
354-days, or 355-days per lunar year, depending on how approximated,
and before the 365-day-solar-year. I reasoned that 360-years
were the midpoint of a cycle that matches a 360-day midpoint length
of year. Since then, I have incorporated accepted Mayan
Calendar terminology to aid in defining time lengths. The
260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year was a modification of earlier
work. I also adopted the Mayan Tun word to indicate the
360-day midpoint length of year. Numerical matching concepts
were also taking shape. A 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year
numerically matches with a 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. My
approach likewise numerically matches a 360-day-Tun-year with a
360-year-Tun-cycle. Conversions for computations between
260-day-Tzolken-sacred-years and 360-day Tun-years allowed
developing the cognitive plan for the primary age category from Adam
through Jared. I broadened the terminology by applying
hyphenated phrases and meanings to the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle
and 360-year-Tun-cycle.
The Antediluvian Calendar order stems from natural, uniform lunar
and solar motion. This lunar/solar calendar plan appreciates
without special intercalations. I was able to work out the
rules for Cainan's ages by applying the solar-side of lunar/solar
separation from Seth's primary 105-year age forward. Doubling
the 400-year-l/s-Baktun-cycle for an 800-year Generation Cycle fit
the secondary ages as a place value unit. By investigating
further the literal Hebrew definitions of Adam, Eve and Seth, I
gradually gained a more comprehensive viewpoint for the ages of
early people. Where I may have been in moderate disagreement
with some Church teachings - the Bible
words and information remains intact as written so long ago.
Numerical matching seemed infallible regarding day and year age
numbers and literal Hebrew meanings served to adjust remaining
topics. Theologians may consider what I was doing incorrect
according to routine principles. Nonetheless, new facts forced
me to accept the calendar framework in favor of things once alleged
true. I was working with absolute time, going deeper into the
calendars than anyone had ever gone before. The research
gradually affected my past beliefs in a learning process, modifying
them to accommodate the new. A permeated faith would
drastically change my life. In short, the spirit of God did "afflict my soul."
Personal theology had to oblige Bible
study purely for time purposes. I developed a hybrid
philosophy to permit calendar science. I wanted to learn about
God. I overcame the
prime obstacle by addressing calendar issues instead of the usual
theological. One major contention glared back. Adam's
era commenced an 800-year Generation Cycle. Either this
information was ordained to Adam directly with life from God or else Adam, or his
forerunners had figured it out on their own merit through tireless
observation of the skies.
I was chipping away at that thing arbitrarily called the time
barrier. Several years before, I did not understand, nor did I
believe completely. I had been stumbling on the fringes of new
age ideology and not quite sure of what I was doing. The
interaction between the Jewish Calendar and the other main calendars
of Mesoamerica and Egypt were obviously exerting more influence on
the modern era than I had given credit to or imagined. For the
last several years, I had wrestled with the serious study of
time. I had adopted some of the previous religious ideas that
worshipped time. A single omnipotent deity could rule over
many angels or deities, since all were intangible. Only names
and customs had changed. The calendar was the source and
outlet for the miraculous. The ancient Jews knew that to
worship on the wrong day profaned God.
The Bible tells of ancient
people worshipping false idols and sacred pillars. Seth and
his planetary feminine counterpart Venus were significant time
deities too. Great balls of rock and ice hurtling through
space were not the focus of prayer. Instead, they were
accessing the supernatural regularly and consistently by doing vast
time projections. Egyptian solar worship dedicated the sun and
stars as natural timekeepers. Physical, inanimate objects were
ritualistic tools to study time. Mesoamericans devoted their
purposes to heavenly exploration for lunar/solar time. Last to
the group were those practicing a 364-day-Ethiopic-calendar,
including the Enochian Sect. I now refer to the 364-day
calendar oftentimes as Ethioptic, deriving the name from the
Ethioptic Enoch I.
Numerically matching numbers of days per year, versus years per
cycle, agrees with ancient doctrines. I have no physical
monuments, edifices, nor even the slightest trinket of these pagan
beliefs. In Judaism and Christianity, God is without current form or
flesh. God remains
intangible and therefore spiritual. Age to age, anything
material eventually has value, a price and is a candidate for
destruction, thievery or persecution. The Son of God gave proof of life
after death. Jesus is
the Paschal lamb of God
that gave the blood sacrifice for humanity. Christ's life of over 30 years,
the miracles performed, the later acts of the apostles done in His
name, and the calendar version that we now call A.D. are all from an
immutable, living God.
Christ was comparable with
the center of time. Christ
knew the futures of others many places in the four gospels.
Some interpretations relate symbolism of the 12 disciples to the new
12-month Julian Calendar year. Christmas and Easter indicate a
transition process from the old 10-month Roman solar year and
concern to overlay Christian celebrations onto solstice and equinox
festivals. New Testament
events render testimony to advance supernatural faith. My
testimony summarizes calendar research to add one more.

seeks anointed people to review and contribute to the Ages_of_Adam ministry.
Ancient lunar/solar calendars like the Jewish and Mayan calendars
provide the background to understanding early time. Ancient
calendars of the Holy Bible
use differences between the moon and sun, numerical matching and a
364-day calendar year to describe X-number of days that match with
X-number of years. Ages_of_Adam
