Daniel's 70 Year Captivity:

(to Babylon)    AM 3558 (BC 494)
                       +     70 yrs.
                  -----------
                     AM 3628  Foundation, ll Temple

In the 1st year of Cyrus (also Darius, the Mede) AM 3627 issued a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. DAN. 9

Fall of Jerusalem  AM 3578 (BC 474)
                          +    49 yrs. (7 weeks)~i.e.weeks of years. Dan.9:25
                        --------
                       AM 3627 (BC 425)
                          +     1 yr.
                        --------
                       AM 3628 (BC 424) 2nd year Cyrus
                          +   20 yrs.
                        --------
                       AM 3648 (BC 404) Rebuilt with streets and trench.
End of the 70 year desolation of Jerusalem according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet. Jer. 25
v.12  But when the 70 years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt, declares the Lord, and will make it desolate forever.

Now, from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until MASHIYACH, the ruler, comes, there will be 7 weeks (see above), and 62 weeks... After the 62 weeks the MASHIYACH will be cutoff and will have nothing. DAN. 9:26

                      AM 3648 (BC 404)
                       +    434 yrs. (62x7)
                         -------
                      AM 4082 (AD 30)  Crucifiction; cutting off of Jesus

The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary... Titus, a Roman General, destroyed the city
in AM 4122 (AD 70).  

So there remains 1week (7years) to complete the 70 weeks of years, or 490 years.
This at present is coming to a rapid conclusion. The antichrist is already here, ready to manifest himself. I only hope our brethren accept the true MASHIYACH. But that's another story.

NOTE:  Daniel not only fulfilled the 70 years, but also the 70 weeks of
           years.
                                 AM 3558 (BC 474)   Daniel to Babylon
                                   +   490 years (70 weeks of years)
                                   --------
                                 AM 4048 (BC 4)  10 NISAN; Birth of Jesus.

JUDAH! Your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you.
You are a lion cub, O Judah; you return from the PREY, my son.

Judah Born AM 2182 (BC 1870)
+ 1900 years
------
AM 4082 (AD 30) Calvary. "The Prey"

Now, there are 3 Millennium, according to Ezekiel 21:27.

The 1st is AM 2148 (BC 1904); Bethel and Jacob's Ladder; Jacob was at age 40, when he wrestled with the angel and got a name change to Israel. ("He who strives for G-D's blessings")
The 2nd is AM 4048 (BC 4) Birth of Christ.
The 3rd is AM 5948 (AD 1896) Birth of Zionism. Theodor Hertzl wrote a booklet called, "Der Judenstaat" (The Jewish State)

Judah was born in the 34th year of the 1st Millennium, had he been born in the 2nd Millennium, he would have been born at the time of the crucifiction. "The Prey"

"I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him." EZ. 21:27

Jesus' lamentation:

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" MATT. 23:37

Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness - who dares to rouse him?

"See the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." [This is a redemptive scroll. Three things are necessary to redeem. 1.) Be kin 2.) Pay the price 3.) Want to]

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor a ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his.

He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.
GEN. 49:8-12

Six days before the Passover (11 NISAN) Jesus arrived at Bethany. ...
Mary poured a pint of pure nard on Jesus' feet... and wiped his feet with her hair.
The next day (10 NISAN; "Choosing The Lamb") Jesus' birthday, a great crowd took palm branches and went out to meet Jesus, shouting,
"Hosanna!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Blessed is the King of Israel!"
Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
"Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion; see your king is coming,
seated on a donkey's colt." JOHN 12:1-15

Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and having salvation,
gentile and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
ZECH. 9:9

Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, (sheepfold; enclosure; cut off; to gather grapes) with his garments stained crimson?
Who is this robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength?
"It is I speaking in righteousness, mighty to save."
Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress?
I have trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me....
ISAIAH 63

The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore...

   "What does the abbreviation AM mean?"

Dave aka lambsev

"AM" means Anno Mundi  [the year of creation]

Instead of counting backward in time, we count forward in time.
i.e. Adam was created in the year AM "0" (BC 4052)
We then count time to the present which is AM 6059 (AD 2007).
Israel became a nation in AD 1948, which is AM 6000, or exactly 6000 years from Adam.
Jesus was born in BC 4, which is AM 4048.
Then we come to AM 4052, which is the year AD "0." So Jesus was born 4 years before he was born. Also our modern calendar omits the year
AD "0" and goes like this. [ BC 4; BC 3; BC 2; BC 1 - AD 1; AD 2; AD 3; AD 4, ect.] As you can see, by omiting the year AD "0" you lose a year.

By this method I discovered a series of chronological codes which tie the whole Bible together. It also fulfills prophecy.

One example: The Kingdom of Israel fell AM 3444 (BC 608). In DAN.4, it talks about the Kingdom being cut down till 7 Times pass over. Now
7 Times (a time is a year) = 365.25 days x 7 = 2556 years [a year for a day, and rounding down]

Now AM 3444 + 2556 years = AM 6000 (AD 1948), the year Israel was restored. Prophecy fulfilled and verified by Joseph. (See GEN. 49:22-26)

Joseph Born AM 2200 (BC 1852) + 3800 years = AM 6000 (AD 1948)
There are 3 Millennium:
AM 2148 (Israel, age 40); AM 4048 (Jesus Born); AM 5948 (Zionism)
These Millennium are separated by a series of 1900 years.

Sorry, didn't mean to get technical.

THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE:

NABOPOLASSAR (Chaldean)  AM 3538 - AM 3559 (21 years)
                                       (BC 514 - BC 493)

[Revolted against Assyria in the 15th year of King Josiah; Judah.]
  AM 3524 + 14 years = AM 3538; BC 528 - 14 years = BC 514

In AM 3552 (BC 500) he took Nineveh.
In AM 3555 (BC 497), Josiah was killed by NECO ll, Pharoah, XXVl, Dynasty, Egypt, at Megiddo. Josiah opposed NECO against the LORD's will and sided with Assyria. NECO did not want to fight Josiah.

King Joahaz AM 3555 - AM 3555 (3 mos.) BC 497 - BC 497  [2CHR. 36:2]

Kg. Jehoiakim AM 3555 - AM 3566 (11 yrs) BC 497 - BC 486 [2CHR. 36:5]

"Praise be to the name of G-D for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.
He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
He reveals deep and hidden things... "  DAN. 2:20-22

  [Change of time on Ahab's dial: AM 3555 +1 = AM 3556.]~  Prophecy
In the 3rd year of Jehoiakim (Judah), Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were taken to Babylon by NEBUCHADNEZZAR. [DAN.1:1-7]

AM 3556 (BC 496) + 2 = AM 3558 (BC 494) + 490 yrs. = AM 4048 (BC 4)
Birth of Jesus. [70 weeks of years]

  In the spring of AM 3558 (BC 494) the ailing NEBOPOLLASAR stayed behind to fight the Egyptians. On his way southward, his son, the young crown prince, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, took Daniel and friends. His father died before he reached Egypt. So he turned toward home with a short route through the desert to secure his throne.

In the 4th year of Jehoiakim, AM 3559 (BC 493) [JER. 25:1; 46:2] Egypt was defeated in the "Battle of Carchemish" by NEBUCHADNEZZAR.

[AM 3556 (BC 496) + 3 = AM 3559 (BC 493).]

NEBUCHADNEZZAR  AM 3559 - AM 3604 (45 years)

In the 8th year of NEBUCHADNEZZAR, Jehoiachin was pulled off the throne.

AM 3559 + 8 = AM 3567 (BC 485). He took it 2 ADAR, AM 3567
[Vulgar date, 16 March, 597]
He waited for the end of the year and in the spring, he sent for him and brought  him to Babylon. AM 3568,

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction...v. 7

For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.  v. 16

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge. v.22

Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit
on you;
I will make my words known to
you. v.23

Yes, The Lord G-D has given Me

The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
The Lord G-D has opened My ear;
And I was not rebellious
Nor did I turn away.

And My cheeks to those who

I did not hide my face from shame
