Summary

TLDRХронология Библии поразительна, однако проблема заключается в привязке древних дат к григорианскому календарю. Видео рассказывает о важности археологических находок, таких как библиотека Ашшурбанапала в Ниневии, и как ученые использовали записи солнечного затмения для определения точных дат в ассирийской и библейской хронологиях. Особое внимание уделено первому царям 6:1 и определению даты исхода. В видео также обсуждается влияние пророка Ионы на нинивитян и возможная связь солнечного затмения с его проповедью.

Takeaways

  • 🕰️ Библейская хронология предоставляет меры времени, но связывание с грегорианским календарем является проблемным.
  • 🗺️ В Mosul были проведены раскопки, где были найдены древниеassyрийские памятники, включая дворец Ашер-банапала.
  • 📚 В библиотеке Ашер-банапала обнаружено множество клинописных табличек, которые стали ключом к расшифровке ассирийской истории.
  • 👤 Генри Роллисон, изучая клинописные таблички, выявил ежегодные списки, которые стали основой для хронологии Ассирии.
  • 📅 Списки, известные как эпонимные списки, представляли собой хронологию Ассирии, но без связи с грегорианским календарем.
  • 🏛️ В First Kings 6:1 дано упоминание о 480 годах после Исхода и сооружении храма в четвертом году царствования Соломона.
  • 👑 Ученый 17 века, Джеймс Ушер, предложил свою хронологию, в которой дата Исхода была установлена на 1491 год до н.э.
  • 🌟 Джордж Смит, изучая эпонимные списки, нашел упоминание солнечной эклипсы 763 года до н.э., что дало точную дату для ассирийской хронологии.
  • 🔗 Связав ассирийскую и библейскую хронологию через совместное событие (поход Сакариа в Иудею), стало возможно определить более точные даты для библейских событий.
  • ☀️ Солнечная эклипса 763 года до н.э., видимая в Ниневии, может быть связана с проповедью пророка Иона в Ниневии.
  • 🗣️ Проповедь Иона и солнечная эклипса могут быть связаны с репентанием народа Ниневи и избавлением от наказания, как это описано в Книге Ионы.

Q & A

  • Какая проблема связывает древнюю хронологию Библии с грегорианским календарем?

    -Проблема заключается в том, как связать даты из древних календарей с грегорианским календарем, который мы используем сегодня, особенно для дат, относящихся к периоду до Рождества Христово (BC).

  • Какие меры времени дает Библия?

    -Библия предоставляет различные меры времени в разных частях текста, включая эпохи, годы и даже месяцы, например, в 1 Царств 6:1 упоминается 480-летний промежуток времени с выхода израильтян из Египта до начала строительства храма в Иерусалиме.

  • Какие события описывает путешествие в город Мосул?

    -В путешествии в Мосул рассказчик описывает свои затруднения из-за конфликта, который не позволил ему войти в город два месяца назад, а также радость от того, что теперь они находятся в городе и собираются исследовать руины Ниневи.

  • Какие археологические находки были сделаны на кургане Куник?

    -На кургане Куник были найдены остатки дворца ашербонапала, включая каменные релиефа с изображениями различных сцен, а также десятки тысяч табличек разных форм и размеров, которые были отправлены в Британский музей для изучения и перевода.

  • Что такое эпонимные списки и как они помогли в определении хронологии Ассирии?

    -Эпонимные списки, или ламу-листы, были официальными документами, где каждый год Ассирии был назван в честь правительственного чиновника, который был надзирающим в тот год. Эти списки помогли в создании годовую хронологию Ассирии.

  • Как Г. Смит определил точную дату солнечного эклипса в 763 году до н.э.?

    -Смит нашел табличку, на которой описан солнечный эклипс, и зная приблизительную дату и место наблюдения (Ниневе), смог с помощью астрономических данных точно определить дату солнечного эклипса 15 июня 763 года до н.э.

  • Как связать хронологию Ассирии с хронологией Библии?

    -Для связывания двух хронологий необходим общий событие. В данном случае это поход ассирийского короля Сеннахериба в Иудею в 701 году до н.э., который упоминается и в Библии в качестве 14-го года царствования царя Езекии.

🗺️ Библейская хронология и календарная проблема

В этом параграфе рассматривается проблема связывания древней хронологии библии с современным Грегорианским календарем. Автор обсуждает значимость установления точных дат для событий Старого Завета, таких как исход из Египта, и важность их корреляции с Грегорианским календарем. Также упоминается поездка в Багдад и Мосул, где автор и его команда изучили развалины Ниневии и раскопки, проведенные Остином Генри Лардом и Хармо Россом в 1849 году.

05:00

📚 Археологические открытия в Ниневе и дешифрация клинописных табличек

Автор делится информацией о трех величайших археологических открытиях, включая библиотеку ассирского короля Ашшербанапала. Рассказчик упоминает обнаружение тысяч табличек в разной форме и размере, которые были отправлены в Британский музей для изучения и дешифровки. Также упоминается вклад академика Генри Роллисона в дешифрацию клинописных текстов и его роль в установлении хронологии ассирского периода.

10:02

🌗 Использование солнечных затмений для определения точных дат в истории

В этом параграфе автор рассматривает значимость солнечных затмений в археологии и хронологии. Рассказчик описывает процесс, как Джордж Смит, используя данные о солнечных затмениях, смог определить конкретную дату солнечного затмения 763 года до н.э., что стало ключевым для определения точных дат в ассирийской и библейской хронологиях. Также автор делится своими личными воспоминаниями о солнечном затмении, которое он наблюдал в Саудовской Аравии в 1976 году.

15:04

🔗 Связывание ассирийской и библейской хронологий

Автор объясняет, как с помощью общего события - восхода ассирийского короля Сакиб на престол в 705 году до н.э. - была установлена связь между ассирийской и библейской хронологиями. Это позволило определить более точные даты для библейских событий, включая дату Исхода, которая была пересмотрена с 1491 года до н.э. до 1446 года до н.э. на основе новых археологических данных.

20:06

🌌 Предсказание пришествия пророка Иона и солнечное затмение 763 года до н.э.

В этом параграфе автор рассматривает гипотезу о том, что солнечное затмение 763 года до н.э., видимое из Ниневии, могло сопровождать пророческую миссию Иона в Ниневию. Автор подчеркивает, что хотя библия не прямо говорит об этом событии, солнечное затмение может быть связано с вызовом к покаянию, который был направлен к народу Ниневии пророком Ионой.

25:10

🙏 Покаяние Ниневии и отклик на проповедь Иисуса

Автор сравнивает реакцию народа Ниневии на пророческую миссию Иона с реакцией жителей Иерусалима на проповедь Иисуса. Упоминается, что в отличие от жителей Ниневии, которые покаялись и были избавлены от гнева Божьего, жители Иерусалима отвергли послание Иисуса, что привело к разрушению города в 70 году н.э. Автор призывает зрителей откликнуться на истины, которые Иисус принес, чтобы получить проститу и спасение.

Keywords

💡Хронономия Библии

Хронономия Библии - это система, представляющая собой меры времени, указанные в тексте Священного Писания. В видео это понятие связано с проблемой сопоставления древнего хронологического порядка с сегодняшним Григорианским календарем. Важность этой темы заключается в том, что понимание хронологии помогает нам связать события из Древнего Завета с конкретными датами, что упрощает их историческое и культурное понимание.

💡Григорианский календарь

Григорианский календарь - это система датирования, используемая сегодня во всем мире. В контексте видео, он служит основой для сопоставления древних дат с современными, что позволяет ученым и историкам точнее определять временную шкалу событий, описанных в Библии, с событиями в истории человечества.

💡Древние календари

Древние календари относятся к системам, которые использовались в прошлом для отсчета времени и организации годов. В видео упоминается о необходимости связать эти старые системы с Григорианским календарем для точного определения хронологии событий, описанных в Древнем Завете.

💡Мосул

Мосул - город в Ираке, который служил важным пунктом на путешествии автора видео. В контексте видео, город представляет интерес как место, связанное с древней историей и археологическими раскопками, что подчеркивает значимость региона для изучения древних цивилизаций.

💡Ниневия

Ниневия - древний город, который существовал на севере Месопотамии. В видео упоминается как место, где проводились археологические раскопки и где были сделаны важные археологические открытия, связанные с историей и хронологией Древнего Востока.

💡Ашер-банал

Ашер-банал - король Ассирии, чье имя упоминается в видео в связи с его дворцом и библиотекой, где были найдены многочисленные таблички с надписями. Эти таблички оказались ключом к расшифровке хронологии Ассирии и дальнейшему пониманию хронологии Древнего Востока.

💡Эпонимные списки

Эпонимные списки - это документы, на которые каждый год Ассирии был назван в честь определенного лица, обычно высшего чиновника. В видео они упоминаются как важный археологический материал, который помог в определении хронологии Ассирии и, следовательно, связывании с хронологией Древнего Израиля.

💡Солнечное затмение

Солнечное затмение - астрономное явление, когда Луна находиться между Землей и Солнцем, затмевая Солнечный свет. В видео упоминается конкретное солнечное затмение 763 года до н.э., которое было использовано для точного определения даты в хронологии Ассирии и, следовательно, для дальнейшего сопоставления с хронологией Древнего Израиля.

💡Пророк Иона

Пророк Иона - библейская личность, которая отправляется в Ниневию с посланием о приближении суда. В видео предполагается связь между его проповедью и солнечным затмением 763 года до н.э., что могло влиять на реакцию ниневитов на его послание.

💡Изгнание из Египта

Изгнание из Египта - важный событие в Библии, когда израильские племена покинули рабство в Египте. В видео дата Изгнания из Египта связывается с датами, найденными в ассирийских эпонимных списках, что позволяет более точно определить хронологию событий Древнего Израиля.

Highlights

The Bible provides a chronology with measures of time, but correlating it with the Gregorian calendar is challenging.

BC dates are tied to the Gregorian calendar, but linking ancient dates to it is essential for biblical chronology.

The journey to Mosul and Nineveh, where Austin Henry Lard began excavations in 1849, is highlighted as a significant archaeological endeavor.

Harmo Rossom's discovery at the mound of Kouyunjik led to a major archaeological find in the north palace of Asher banapal.

The discovery of tens of thousands of clay tablets at Asher banapal's palace is one of the top three archaeological discoveries of all time.

Henry Rawlinson is known as the father of Assyriology for his role in deciphering cuneiform and identifying eponym lists.

Eponym lists or limmu lists provided a year-to-year chronology of Assyrian history, but they were initially not linked to the Gregorian calendar.

First Kings 6:1 offers a measure of time with 480 years between the Exodus and the building of the temple in Jerusalem.

Archbishop James Ussher estimated BC dates for the Old Testament, including the year 1012 BC as the fourth year of Solomon's reign.

George Smith's translation of the Assyrian eponym canon and the discovery of a solar eclipse provided an absolute date for Assyrian chronology.

The solar eclipse of June 15th, 763 BC, mentioned in a tablet, gave a specific date to Assyrian history and helped synchronize it with biblical chronology.

Smith's work on the Assyrian eponym canon and the synchronization with biblical chronology led to a new date for the Exodus, 1446 BC.

The 763 BC solar eclipse might have accompanied the preaching of the prophet Jonah in Nineveh, as per the book of Jonah.

The repentance of Nineveh in response to Jonah's message contrasts with the rejection of Jesus' message by Jerusalem, as mentioned in Luke 11.

The video encourages viewers to respond to Jesus' message for salvation, contrasting the outcomes of Nineveh and Jerusalem.

00:00

the Bible's chronology is amazing like

00:03

everything else about the Bible it gives

00:06

us all these measures of time throughout

00:08

a chronology the problem has been to tie

00:12

that ancient chronology to the calendar

00:14

that we use today the Gregorian calendar

00:17

BC stands for before Christ and so BC

00:20

dates are tied to the Gregorian calendar

00:23

so how do we link the dates from the

00:26

ancient calendars with the Gregorian

00:29

calendar this is is very important how

00:32

did we get BC dates for the Old

00:35

Testament so we've flown into Baghdad

00:39

and we have driven up and now we are in

00:41

the city of mosul we're quite excited

00:43

about it because it's taken two months

00:45

for us to get in here we were here 2

00:47

months ago and they wouldn't let us in

00:49

because we were Americans and they were

00:51

having um all kinds of conflict up here

00:54

but they've lifted that and so we're

00:57

back and we're very excited because now

00:59

we're in the city of mosul we're going

01:01

to make our way over and spend some time

01:03

in the ruins of

01:07

[Music]

01:19

Nineveh so we are inside the ancient

01:22

walls of Nineveh and we're walking

01:24

across Nineveh as Jonah did in ancient

01:27

times but we're walking across to the

01:29

ancient mound of cunic where Austin

01:32

Henry lard started his excavations in

01:35

1849 and then after he retired then

01:39

harmo rossom took over and made a

01:43

discovery and we're going to go look at

01:44

where he made this discovery this is my

01:47

dear friend

01:48

Omar and uh these are our weapons for

01:52

the wild dogs that are around here he's

01:54

a better shot than I am we'll see all

01:57

right we are here on the North corner of

02:00

the mound of cunic and we're going to go

02:02

up on top

02:04

[Music]

02:14

now this is the north Palace of Asher

02:17

bonap

02:19

[Music]

02:23

paal this is the place where one of the

02:26

rarest and most impactful archaeological

02:29

discover of all time was made the

02:33

discovery of an absolute

donation uh any donations would be

03:10

greatly appreciated that will help in

03:12

the production of future videos so in

03:15

1853 harmo rossom was over here on the

03:19

north side of the mound of cunic with a

03:22

band of diggers and they were digging

03:24

down right in this area and they didn't

03:26

know it at the time but lining these

03:28

walls that you see here were Stone

03:30

reliefs with all kinds of scenes carved

03:33

into them and so the men were digging

03:35

down digging down and once they got deep

03:37

enough what happened was there was a

03:39

collapse of dirt that collapsed down and

03:42

all of a sudden revealed this stone

03:44

relief with a king standing there on a

03:48

chariot and they didn't know which king

03:50

this was at the time it wasn't until

03:52

much later that it was determined that

03:54

this was Asher bopal but all the men

03:56

started dancing around rossom with their

03:59

war cry and rejoicing because they had

04:03

discovered another Palace up on the

04:05

mound of cunic which ended up being the

04:08

Palace of Asher bopal so after they

04:11

realized that they were in a palace they

04:12

continued digging down deeper and deeper

04:15

and on the floors down in these rooms

04:18

they started finding literally tens of

04:21

thousands of tablets of all different

04:23

shapes and sizes and so these were

04:26

shipped back to the British Museum and

04:28

formed this huge pile of caor tablets

04:32

that needed to be studied and read and

04:34

translated it's been raining like crazy

04:37

around

04:39

here look at

04:42

that it's a storage

04:47

jar look at these look at these huge

04:51

Stone Pavements that are just laying

04:54

around

04:55

here this is

04:57

amazing this is the

05:00

location of definitely I would put it in

05:03

the top three archaeological discoveries

05:06

of all time the discovery of the library

05:08

of Asher

05:11

[Music]

05:14

banipal this is the Assyrian King Asher

05:18

bonana Paul II he is the one who keeps a

05:21

library in his Palace in

05:27

Neva so all these tablets that you see

05:29

here are just a small sample of the

05:33

documents that came out of Asher bonap

05:36

paal's library at Neva as this pile of

05:39

cfor tablets from Neva began to grow in

05:42

the British museum one of the employees

05:45

there was a scholar named Henry

05:47

rollinson who is known today as the

05:49

father of aerology because of his role

05:52

in deciphering caor so he was going

05:55

through these tablets and on multiple

05:58

tablets he began to to see this

06:01

year-to-year

06:02

chronology of Assyrian history rollinson

06:06

wrote in a newspaper article on May 31st

06:09

1862 I am glad to be able to announce

06:12

that amid the many thousand crumbling

06:14

tablets from Nineveh and now in the

06:16

British museum there were a considerable

06:19

number of fragments bearing lists of

06:21

names and having the appearance of

06:23

official documents these official

06:26

documents that rollinson began to

06:28

identify became known as epony lists or

06:31

lamu lists and this is because each year

06:34

was named after a person the government

06:37

official that was over that

06:42

year so this is an example of what are

06:45

called the epony tablets this is an

06:48

example of a published eponym list what

06:51

appears in the column labeled eponym is

06:53

a list of names each is the name of a

06:55

single year and each year is the name of

06:57

a person who is an official over that

07:00

year the second column is the title of

07:02

the person the year is named after and

07:04

in the third column are the major events

07:07

that happened in that year emerged from

07:09

these lists was a year-to-year

07:11

chronology for a period of Assyrian

07:13

history the problem however was that

07:16

none of these years were linked to the

07:18

more modern Gregorian calendar and

07:20

therefore none of the BC dates for these

07:23

Assyrian years were known so assigning

07:26

BC dates to the biblical chronology also

07:29

was a problem and biblical chronology is

07:31

a big subject I just want to take a a

07:34

bite of it in this video I want to focus

07:37

on the chronology of a single verse in

07:40

the Bible and that verse being First

07:42

Kings 61 if we can understand how

07:45

chronology works for First Kings 61 then

07:49

we can take that understanding and apply

07:51

it out to biblical chronology for the

07:54

rest of the Bible First Kings 61 says in

07:57

the 480th year after the Israelites came

08:00

out of Egypt in the fourth year of

08:02

Solomon's Reign Over Israel in the month

08:05

of ziv the second month he began to

08:07

build the Temple of the Lord so the

08:10

whole Bible gives us these different

08:12

measures of time across the whole

08:14

biblical chronology a great example of

08:17

this is First Kings 61 which gives us a

08:19

measure of time of 480 years between

08:22

these two significant events of the

08:25

Exodus and the building of the temple in

08:27

Jerusalem we know what year year the

08:30

temple began to be built in Jerusalem it

08:32

was the fourth year of Solomon we know

08:34

what month the problem is is we don't

08:37

know what BC date is the fourth year of

08:41

King Solomon's Reign the way that they

08:44

measured time in ancient times is

08:46

different than the way that we measure

08:48

it today so how do we get a BC date for

08:52

the fourth year of King Solomon's Reign

08:54

because if we have one then all we have

08:56

to do is add 480 years and then we'll

08:59

have a BC date for The Exodus so the one

09:02

who came up with a chronology that had a

09:04

solution to this dilemma was the

09:07

Archbishop and Scholar that lived back

09:09

in the 17th century ad named James Usher

09:13

and in

09:14

1650 he published a book on his

09:17

chronology of the world so what he did

09:20

is he went way back in later history

09:23

when dates were known and correlated

09:26

with the ancient calendar and then from

09:28

those known dates he counted backwards

09:32

through time into the Old Testament

09:35

period and in this way he was able to

09:37

estimate BC dates for the Old Testament

09:40

and so he came up with the year 1012 BC

09:44

as being the fourth year of Solomon's

09:47

Reign and then since uh Solomon began to

09:51

build the temple in the 480th year

09:53

meaning 479 full years had passed he

09:57

added 479 to 1012 BC and came up with

10:02

the date of The Exodus 1491 BC this then

10:07

became the generally accepted date for

10:10

The Exodus 1491 BC and that was the case

10:15

for the next over 200 years with this

10:19

big pile and all these inscriptions and

10:21

all these tablets uh rollinson was

10:24

overwhelmed and so he hired a young man

10:26

named George Smith because George Smith

10:28

had mastered CA form and so rollinson

10:32

had identified seven of these eponym

10:36

cannons none of them were complete and

10:39

so one of the tasks that George Smith

10:42

had was to go and do a translation of

10:45

each one of these epony lists and then

10:47

draw the information from all of those

10:49

incomplete lists to make a master eponym

10:53

list that listed out year toye a

10:57

chronology for the Assyrian history

10:59

Smith would eventually publish his work

11:02

in 1875 in his book entitled the

11:04

Assyrian eponym Cannon starting on page

11:07

57 is the list of Assyrian eponyms with

11:10

the dates and events drawn up from the

11:12

seven copies of the Canon and other

11:15

sources I want to use this list to

11:17

illustrate how Smith developed it over

11:20

time so he was in the process of doing

11:23

this in

11:24

1867 he was translating the eponym Canon

11:28

number five out of these seven and he

11:31

was going through and making his

11:32

translation of it this is the Assyrian

11:35

eponym Canon 5 today labeled as k51 in

11:39

the British museum collection the name

11:41

Smith translated as asdu serab which was

11:44

later changed to burale was the name of

11:47

the Year named after the governor of

11:49

Goen and in the next column the events

11:52

that took place in that year including

11:55

that the sun was eclipsed so it was 1853

11:59

three that rossom found that tablet in

12:02

this hole and then it wasn't until 1867

12:06

that George Smith is sitting reading it

12:08

translating it in the British Museum and

12:12

he read about the solar eclipse he just

12:14

needed to know two things where was that

12:15

solar eclipse observed from Nineveh

12:18

Assyria and when just generally when

12:21

around the 8th Century BC then he could

12:24

go look at the solar eclipses that had

12:26

happened in and around the 8th Century

12:28

BC and easily find the one that would

12:31

have engulfed Nineveh in darkness and so

12:34

he found something very rare in

12:37

archaeology he found a date that was

12:40

known with certainty and that date was

12:43

June 15th 763 BC so what is a solar

12:48

eclipse and how does it give us a

12:51

specific date hey everybody this is

12:53

Barry here as you may be able to tell I

12:57

am not in the Middle East this time but

12:59

I am here in the middle of nowhere Texas

13:02

watching the April 2024 Eclipse as you

13:05

can see or well not see I guess it's

13:08

gotten a lot darker and we've almost

13:10

reached the point of totality when the

13:12

moon is completely covering the Sun so I

13:15

don't even know you probably can't even

13:17

see me right now because of how dark it

13:18

is that would be so freaky if I was just

13:21

a ancient Assyrian dude sitting around

13:23

not expecting that and then all of a

13:25

sudden goes pitch black on you you can't

13:27

see anything I can I can understand why

13:30

that would be taken as a a bad Omen that

13:33

makes sense that was crazy I will see

13:36

you guys back in a rock so why does it

13:39

matter that George Smith found a a

13:41

tablet talking about a solar eclipse

13:43

well I was just in Texas and saw the

13:45

solar eclipse and the thing is everybody

13:49

knew when it was going to be everybody

13:51

knew that it was going to be April 8th

13:53

they knew down to roughly the minute

13:54

that it was going to be depending on

13:56

where you were at so why can we predict

13:57

eclipses so accurately

13:59

well first let's talk about what an

14:01

eclipse actually is an eclipse occurs

14:03

when the moon comes between the Earth

14:05

and the

14:06

Sun and basically casts a shadow on the

14:09

earth now you can see from the Moon

14:12

orbiting the Earth that this actually

14:14

happens quite frequently about once a

14:16

month so why don't we get an eclipse

14:19

every month well from a two-dimensional

14:21

view it looks like we should but we get

14:24

the answer when we look at the third

14:25

dimension you see the moon's orbit

14:27

around the Earth is actually at a

14:31

tilt that means that the moon not only

14:33

has to be between the Sun and the Earth

14:36

but it also has to be at the right place

14:38

in its orbit

14:40

height-wise otherwise it's too

14:44

high or too low to cast a shadow on the

14:48

earth now there are a couple more

14:50

factors if you really want to get into

14:52

the details but that's roughly how

14:54

eclipses work and because we know pretty

14:57

much exactly how the moon orbits the the

14:59

Earth and how the Earth orbits the sun

15:02

we can predict pretty much down to the

15:04

second when eclipses will be not only

15:07

can we predict when it'll be but we can

15:09

also predict where it'll be on the

15:11

surface of the Earth and just like we

15:13

can look forward and predict when

15:15

eclipses are going to be we can look

15:17

backwards and tell when they were in

15:19

fact NASA has a page on their website

15:22

dedicated to future and past eclipses

15:24

and if you go to - 762 then you'll see

15:28

the one that went over

15:31

Neva the reason it's negative 762

15:34

instead of 763 BC is because they're

15:37

using astronomical years and we use

15:39

Gregorian years but it's the same

15:41

Eclipse so because George Smith knew

15:45

when roughly the eclipse happened around

15:47

the 8th Century BC and he knew where it

15:49

was seen from Nineveh he could look back

15:52

and using astronomical data pinpoint the

15:54

exact Eclipse um that was recorded in

15:57

that tablet and that was the eclipse on

15:59

June 15th 763

16:05

BC and that is incredibly significant

16:08

because that gave an absolute date to at

16:10

least part of Assyrian chronology and

16:13

ultimately biblical chronology so

16:16

because my son and I were working on

16:17

this project we had the NASA catalog of

16:21

solar eclipses and this lists out the

16:23

solar eclipses that are still to come uh

16:26

in the future all the way out to about

16:29

the year 3000 ad and the ones that have

16:31

already happened all the way back in

16:33

time to about 2000 BC so I have this

16:37

catalog and I remember that I saw a

16:40

solar eclipse when I was a kid and so to

16:43

identify this in the catalog I needed to

16:46

know where I saw it from and I I knew

16:48

that it was from Saudi Arabia that's

16:50

where I grew up my dad worked for the

16:52

oil company there and then the general

16:55

time period I knew that I had seen it at

16:57

some point in the 1970s though I didn't

17:00

know the exact year much less the month

17:03

or the day and so it was a simple

17:05

process of going back in this catalog to

17:07

the 1970s start looking at the solar

17:10

eclipses that happened in that decade

17:13

and then identifying the solar eclipse

17:15

that was observable from Saudi Arabia

17:19

and I found it easily I saw that solar

17:23

eclipse on April 29th

17:26

1976 and so it was an amazing thing for

17:29

me to find personally in my own life an

17:33

exact date that I could attach memories

17:36

to and this is exactly I realized how

17:39

George Smith did it now Smith knew the

17:42

epim year mentioning the eclipse of the

17:44

sun was 763 BC because there was a

17:48

complete list of years this one known

17:50

year meant that all the other years

17:53

could be worked out up and down the

17:54

chronology in other words the one date

17:58

led to to working out all the other

18:00

dates in this way over a span of some

18:03

244 years of Assyrian history every year

18:07

became known from about 892 through 648

18:11

BC the result was that now the BC dates

18:15

for the Assyrian chronology were now

18:18

known and so the question then was that

18:21

now that the Assyrian chronology had

18:23

been worked out with BC dates was there

18:26

any way to sink the assy chronology

18:30

together with the biblical chronology

18:32

and in order to do this you need a

18:35

shared event between those two histories

18:39

now that Smith knew that the year that

18:41

the Assyrian King sakb had ascended the

18:43

throne at Nineveh was 705 BC he

18:46

therefore also knew that four years

18:49

later when the record says sakb LED an

18:51

expedition to Palestine that this was

18:54

701 BC now keep in mind that in the

18:57

1800s when Smith was compiling and

18:59

Publishing his material ancient Judah

19:02

was known as Palestine so he translated

19:04

sakib's expedition to Judah as an

19:07

expedition to Palestine so that the

19:10

readers would know where the text was

19:11

referring to 2 Kings 1813 says in the

19:16

14th year of King hezekiah's Reign sakb

19:19

king of Assyria attacked all the

19:21

Fortified cities of Judah and captured

19:23

them so bam that was it the 14th year of

19:28

King hezekiah's reign in the Bible is

19:31

the same year as sakib's fourth year in

19:34

the Assyrian chronology so this is the

19:37

tayor prism and this gives Sak's own

19:41

account of his invasion of the kingdom

19:45

of Judah 701 BC transferred over to the

19:49

biblical chronology and in the same way

19:51

it had worked with the Assyrian

19:53

chronology by knowing the one date now

19:55

the other dates for the biblical

19:57

chronology could be worked out from that

19:59

one date now I should mention that there

20:01

is more than one shared event between

20:03

the Assyrian and biblical

20:06

chronologies uh but I am only using one

20:09

as an example so you can understand how

20:11

it works I hope to cover the others in

20:13

future videos so all you have to do is

20:16

take the 14th year of King Hezekiah his

20:19

Reign 701 BC and then the Bible gives us

20:23

how many kings ruled over Judah how many

20:26

years they reigned and so you just count

20:29

uh that number of years back to the

20:31

fourth year of Solomon when he began to

20:34

build the temple which was 966 BC and

20:39

then all you have to do is add 480 to

20:42

the 966 and then you have the biblical

20:46

date of The Exodus in 1446 BC so up to

20:51

this point the generally accepted date

20:53

for The Exodus was 1491 BC that was

20:56

overturned because of this disc

20:58

Discovery and the generally accepted

21:01

date for The Exodus became 1446 BC

21:06

now you know James Usher deserves a lot

21:09

of credit I mean it's pretty amazing

21:12

that in 1650 AD that he gave a date of

21:15

The Exodus that was within 50 years of

21:19

the actual date um hats off to James

21:22

Usher and uh but but there's a

21:25

difference between James Usher's date

21:27

which was an

21:29

estimate and this new date which is not

21:32

an estimate but it's based off of the

21:36

exact date known from a solar eclipse

21:39

and then the numbers that are given in

21:41

the Bible itself this is why it's called

21:44

the biblical date of The Exodus now here

21:47

is the question did the 763 BC total

21:52

eclipse of the Sun that engulfed Nineveh

21:54

in darkness did that eclipse accomp

21:59

the preaching of the prophet Jonah when

22:02

he was sent here by the Lord to preach

22:04

to the ninevites second Kings 14

22:07

describes jeroboam II who Reigns in

22:10

Israel for 41 years the biblical dates

22:13

for the reign of jeroboam I second are

22:15

793 through 753 BC this means that the

22:20

solar eclipse of 763 BC took place in

22:23

the latter part of his Reign this is

22:26

very interesting because Jonah is active

22:28

as a prophet during jeroboam II's Reign

22:32

verse 25 says the god of Israel spoke by

22:35

his servant Jonah the son of amiti the

22:37

Book of Jonah begins now the word of the

22:40

Lord came to Jonah the son of amiti

22:43

saying arise go to Nineveh that great

22:46

City and call out against it for their

22:48

evil has come up before me I don't

22:51

believe that it's a coincidence that we

22:54

have the total eclipse of the sun

22:57

visible from Nineveh and enging it in

22:59

darkness at the same time that we have

23:01

God call an Israelite Prophet to go to

23:04

the city of Nineveh and preach to them a

23:07

message of repentance we don't know for

23:09

certain we can't know it for sure

23:12

because the Bible doesn't say it

23:13

specifically but uh it makes a lot of

23:16

sense since we know that that eclipse

23:17

happened during the ministry of Jonah in

23:20

the Bible the darkening of the sun is a

23:22

sign of coming judgment Isaiah 13: 9-10

23:26

says see the day of the Lord is coming a

23:29

cruel day with wrath and fierce anger to

23:33

make the land desolate and destroy the

23:35

Sinners within it one of the signs of

23:38

this judgment day is the rising sun will

23:40

be darkened in Matthew 24 we see the

23:43

future fulfillment of this Prophecy with

23:46

one of the signs of the end times being

23:48

that the sun will be darkened Jonah

23:51

chapter 3 says Jonah went to Nineveh

23:54

proclaiming 40 more days and Nineveh

23:56

will be overthrown the ninevites

23:59

believed God a fast was proclaimed and

24:02

all of them from the greatest to the

24:03

least put on sackcloth when God saw what

24:06

they did and how they turned from their

24:08

evil ways he relented and did not bring

24:12

on them the destruction he had

24:14

threatened it is not unusual for a

24:17

Israelite Prophet to come with a message

24:19

of coming destruction and doom and

24:21

calling people to repentance what is

24:24

very unusual is that those people

24:27

respond to that message by repenting and

24:30

this is what the ninevites did even the

24:32

king repented and so what was it that

24:36

caused that repentance what were they

24:38

they were terrified about something was

24:41

it the actual message of Jonah or was it

24:44

something also that accompanied that

24:47

message and so when we think of the 763

24:50

BC total eclipse of the sun happening at

24:53

the same time that me that message is

24:56

being brought and it makes a lot of

24:58

sense sense Barry you were just in Texas

25:00

and you were uh you saw a solar eclipse

25:02

I mean what what do you think uh do you

25:06

think that the solar eclipse of 763 BC

25:10

accompanied the preaching of

25:12

Jonah I think that if I were an ancient

25:16

Assyrian and a dude came and told me to

25:18

repent and then all of a sudden the sun

25:21

got dark I would be pretty freaked

25:25

out makes sense doesn't it it it does

25:28

what Jesus says in Luke 11 is really

25:32

incredible because we can contrast the

25:35

city of Nineveh the Gentile city of

25:38

Nineveh at the time of Jonah with the

25:41

city of Jerusalem at the time of

25:45

Jesus uh both Jonah and Jesus are

25:50

preaching about a coming destruction of

25:52

that City and calling the people to

25:56

repent uh the nites respond to that

26:00

message repent and the city is spared uh

26:04

however the jerusalemites for the most

26:07

part reject the message of Jesus who is

26:11

preaching repent for the Kingdom of

26:13

Heaven is near and so the city is

26:16

destroyed as Jesus predicts in ad70 uh

26:20

we want to be like the ninevites we want

26:23

to respond to the message of who Jesus

26:26

is and what he has accomplished so that

26:30

our sins can be forgiven and so that we

26:33

can receive salvation instead of

26:36

Destruction so it is extremely helpful

26:39

to me and for my team if you will hit

26:42

that subscribe button and support us and

26:45

the channel also if you want to be part

26:48

of the uh production of upcoming videos

26:51

then I will leave a link in the

26:52

description where you can uh leave a

26:54

donation very helpful thank you uh also

26:58

I'll leave a link where you can order a

26:59

copy of my book where God came down the

27:02

archaeological evidence you can watch

27:04

another video here and uh thanks so much

27:07

for watching and I'll look forward to

27:09

seeing you next time
