Chaldean - meaning :
Dan. [[2:10|bible.27.2.10]]

Note "Now Chaldea was an area almost geographically synonymous with Babylonia, but because of the high level of learning there, the term Chaldean came to mean also a very learned person." Ref-0049, p. 20.

chapters - applied to entire Bible :

Note "The first Bible to use both the modern chapter and verse divisions was the Latin Vulgate edition of Robert Stephaus (1555). He had previously used those divisions in his Greek New Testament (1551). The First English Bible to incorporate both the modern chapter and verse divisions was the Geneva Bible (1560). It was actually done in two parts: in 1577, the New Testament was done by Whittingham, as a stopgap measure, and, in 1560, the entire Bible was completed in the same tradition." Ref-0075, pp. 341-342




chapters - applied to NT :

Note "Stephen Langton, a professor at the University of Paris and afterward Archbishop of Canterbury, divided the Bible into the modern chapter divisions (c. 1227). That was prior to the introduction of movable type in printing. Since the Wycliffe Bible (1382) followed that pattern, those basic divisions have been the virtual base upon which the Bible has been printed to this very day, as the Wycliffe Bible has been basic to subsequent versions and translations." Ref-0075, pp. 340-341




chapters - applied to OT :

Note "These divisions were first placed in the margins in 1330. They were printed into the text of the Complutensian Polyglot (1517), and the text was divided in the edition of Arias Montanus (1571)." Ref-0075, p. 339.

Note D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones observes that any valid interpretation of Mtt. [[5:39-40|bible.61.5.39]] must reconcile the following additional passages: Mtt. [[18:15-17|bible.61.18.15]], seeking justice with a brother; John [[18:22-23|bible.64.18.22]], Jesus points out the injust action of striking him without him having done evil; Acts [[16:37|bible.65.16.37]], Paul asserts his Roman citizenship. "How do we reconcile these things? Our Lord her in the Sermon on the Mount seems to be saying that invariably you must turn the other cheek, or if ever you are sued for your coat you must throw in your cloak as well. But He Himself, when He is smitten on the face, does not turn the other cheek, but registers a protest. And the apostle Paul insisted upon the magistrate coming down to release him. If we accept the original principle, there is no difficulty at all in reconciling the two sets of statements. It can be done in this way. These instances are not examples and illustrations of either our Lord or the apostle insisting upon personal rights. What our Lord did was to rebuke the breaking of the law and His protest was made in order to uphold the law. He said to these men, in effect: 'You know by striking me like this you are breaking the law.' He did not say: 'Why do you insult me?' He did not lose His temper or take it as a personal affront. He did not become angry, or show concern about Himself. But He was concerned to remind these men of the dignity and honour of the law. And the apostle Paul did exactly the same thing."

Note "These cherubim functioned, according to the language of Gen. [[3:24|bible.1.3.24]], as sentinels 'stationed' to 'guard' the way to the Tree of Life. As already noted, the cherubim reappear [decoratively] in only one other place in the Bible--within the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle and Temple. . . This implies a close analogy between the two appearances, but there is one key difference: The cherubim in Eden face outward in order to ward off attempts at re-entry. But in the Holy of Holies, the cherubim stationed atop the Mercy Seat of the Ark face inward toward the place were God's presence was manifested between their wings. These cherubim, rather than turning man away from God's presence, make possible God's presence among men. . ." Ref-0146, p. 202.

Ref-0096, p. 115. "He has made no provision for the redemption of the Devil and the fallen angels. If it was consistent with God's infinite goodness and justice to pass by the whole body of fallen angels and to leave them to suffer the consequences of their sin, then certainly it is consistent with His goodness and justice to pass by some of the fallen race of men and to leave them in the sin." Ref-0096, p. 268. "If every person had been saved, it would not have been seen what sin deserved; if no person had been saved, it would not have been seen what grace could bestow." Ref-0096, p. 272. "Whoever rejects the Lord Jesus must bear all the blame for remaining condemned and lost, but whoever is saved must give to God all the glory and honor for his salvation and his new life in Christ."

Christmas - date assigned :

Note "From sun-worship, for example, came the celebration of Christ's birth on the twenty-fifth of December, the birthday of the Sun. Saturnalia, the Roman winter festival of 17-21 of December, provided the merriment, gift-giving and candles typical of later Christmas holidays." Ref-0063, p. 141. "The first mention of Christmas as a festival of the church on 25 December, refers to AD 336. It comes in the Philocalian Catalogue (354), a civil and religious calendar compiled at Rome. In the East, 6 January, known as Epiphany, was favoured as the anniversary of Christ's birth and baptism. The Western date was introduced into the East by John Chrysostom near the end of the fourth century. Subsequently the birth of Christ was celebrated by both East and West on 25 December. Meanwhile Epiphany had come from the East to the West, where it commemorated the revealing of Jesus to the Gentiles--originally to the Wise Men." Ref-0063, p. 155.

Christology - definition :

Note The study of Jesus Christ.




Christology - heretical views :

Note "The Lord's humanity was complete, in contrast to Apollinarianism, which taught that the divine Logos took the place of a human spirit in the man Jesus. The Lord Jesus was completely a man--body, soul, and spirit. Yes, Christ is God, but He is also man--He is both. His humanity was real and permanent, as against various forms of Docetism. The Lord's divine and human natures remained unchanged and unmixed, each fulfilling its role according to its proper laws, in contrast with Eutychianism, which taught that the Incarnation produced a third nature, a kind of deified humanity in which the properties of true human nature are lost. The Lord's human and divine natures were united in one person, in contrast with Nestorianism, which taught that Jesus had two personalities or was two persons." David J. Macleod, "The Incarnation of the Word: John [[1:14|bible.64.1.14]]", Ref-0200, vol. 161 no. 641, January-March 2004 (pp. 72-88), p. 76.

Note The following entries set forth biblically significant events by date.




chronology - AD 30 - crucifixion of Christ according to Thomas :

Note "As shown in the essay 'The Day and Year of Christ's Crucifixion' (pp. 311-14), Nisan 14, the day of Passover, fell on Friday only twice between A.D. 26 and A.D. 36. This leaves two possible years for Christ's crucifixion, A.D. 30 or A.D. 33. If conclusions reached earlier in this essay are valid, the former possibility must be chosen as the year in which Jesus was crucified." Ref-0091, p. 318.




chronology - AD 32 - crucifixion of Christ according to Anderson :
14

Note Ref-0043. "Anderson's calculations include some problems. First, in the light of new evidence since Anderson's day, the 445 B.C. date is not acceptable for Artaxerxes' twentieth year. . . Second, the A.D. 32 date for the crucifixion is untenable. It would mean that Christ was crucified on either a Sunday or Monday. In fact, Anderson realizes the dilemma and he has to do mathematical gymnastics to arrive at a Friday crucifixion. This makes one immediately suspect. Actually there is no good evidence for an A.D. 32 crucifixion date." Ref-0044, p. 137.




chronology - AD 33 - crucifixion of Christ according to Hoehner :
14

Note ". . .Christ's death occurred on Friday, Nisan 14 in A.D. 33 (Friday, April 3, A.D. 33, on the Julian calendar)." Ref-0044, p. 134.




chronology - AD 70 - Herod's (Zerubbabel's) Temple destroyed :

Note Built in BC 515, expanded in BC 20. Ref-0144, p. 53.




chronology - AD 96 - Domition killed :

Note "Domitian was assassinated in 96 C.E. by a palace servant who stabbed him while he was reading a report about a conspiracy." Ref-0150, p. 290.




chronology - AD 321 - edict of Constantine :

Note "When in 321 Constantine made the first day of the week a holiday, he called it 'the venerable day of the Sun' (Sunday)." Ref-0063, p. 140. "All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun. But countrymen may without hindrance attend to agriculture, since it often happens that this is the most suitable day for sowing grain or planting vines, so that the opportunity afforded by divine providence may not be lost, for the right season is short. 7 March 321." CONSTANTINE'S Edict (Cod. Justinianus III xii 3), Ref-0063, p. 152. "In many circles it has been taught that Sunday worship universally began only in 321 with the Law of Constantine, or in 364 with the Council of Laodicea. However, the contributors to From Sabbath to Lord's Day have shown with excellent documentation that Sunday worship was a very universal practice of all churches outside Israel by the beginning of the second century. They also clearly point out that in those early days, while Sunday was viewed as a day of worship, it was not viewed as a Sabbath." Ref-0105, p. 61.




chronology - AD 382 - AD 405 - Vulgate :

Note "After twenty-three years' labour, Jerome completed his revision of the Latin Scriptures (382-405)." Ref-0063, p. 196.

His tribe called him al-Amin, the believing one. Mohammed, which means highly praised, is the name he bears in the Koran." Ref-0150, p. 325.




chronology - AD 610 - Mohammed's revelation :

Note "Beginning in A.D. 610 Mohammed claimed to have received angelic revleations that al-Ilah (Allah) was the supreme god and had a message of warning." Ref-0146, p. 169. "Following his religious call in 610, Muhammed proclaimed the message of Islam" Ref-0063, p. 235.




chronology - AD 622 - Mohammed's flight to Medina :

Note "The intensity of the persecution to Mohammed and his followers grew through the years and forced him to flee to Medina in A.D. 622. This event, known as the Hijra ('Migration'), marked the beginning of the Islamic era." Ref-0146, p. 169.




chronology - AD 632 - Mohammed dies :

Note "In March 632 C.E. Mohammed led the pilgrimage to Mecca. When he returned to Medina he took ill. On June 8, 632 C.E. he complained of a severe headache. Later that day he died." Ref-0150, p. 329.




chronology - AD 638 - Islam captures Jerusalem :

Note "In A.D. 632, Islamic armies stormed out of the Arabian peninsula, capturing Jerusalem in A.D. 638 during the reign of 'Umar, the second caliph after Mohammed." Ref-0144, p. 87.




chronology - AD 691 - Dome of Rock built :

Note "after almost 60 years of occupation, the Umayyad caliph 'Abd al-Malik built in A.D. 691-92 what is known today as the Dome of the Rock. . . Some people believe the Dome was built as a commemoration of an Islamic event or place of prayer for a caliph (such as 'Umar, after whom it has been popularly called the Mosque of Omar)." Ref-0144, p. 88.




chronology - AD 715 - Al Aqsa Mosque built :

Note "In a further show of conquest over the Christians, Caliph Omar later built a wooden mosque on the compound over the foundations of an early Christian church. This mosque, known as the Al-Aqsa Mosque, was completed in A.D. 715 and has been rebuilt many times since. Today this mosque is regarded as the third holiest place in Islam (after Mecca and Medina)." Ref-0146, p. 170.




chronology - AD 1187 - Jerusalem falls to Saladin :

Note "It was not until A.D. 1187--when the Crusaders were finally dislodged by Saladin--that Jerusalem was said to be the third holiest place in Islam. . . In fact, in A.D. 1225 the Arab geographer Yakut wrote that the city of Jerusalem was holy to Jews and Christians, as it had been for 3,000 and 2,000 years respectively, but in contrast noted that only Mecca was holy to Muslims." Ref-0146, p. 175.




chronology - AD 1215 - Fourth Lateran Council - transubstantiation :

Note ". . . transubstantiation was adopted as orthodox at the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215" Ref-0063, p. 265.

chronology - AD 1648 - Westminster Confession :

Note "The Westminster Assembly was called together by the English Parliament. Its work extended over a period of five and one half years, and was finished in 1648. It was a representative body, made up of one hundred and twenty-one ministers or theologians, eleven lords, twenty commoners, from all counties of England and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, with seven commissioners from Scotland. . . Dr. Warfield said of the Westminster Confession that it was 'The most complete, the most fully elaborated and carefully guarded, the most perfect, and the most vital expression that has ever been framed by the hand of man, of all that enters into what we call evangelical religion, and of all that must be safeguarded if evangelical religion is to persist in the world.'" Ref-0096, pp. 342-343.




chronology - AD 1820 - Inquisition ends :

Note "In November 1478, Pope Sixtus IV issued a bull to establish a national inquisition there - an institution that was to last until 1820." Ref-0152, p. 62.




chronology - AD 1917 - Balfour Declaration :

Note "On November 2, 1917, after much political maneuvering, that declaration came, in the form of a letter signed by Lord Balforud and sent to Lord Rothschild, the unofficial leader of British Jewry. That declaration read [in part]: 'His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.'" Ref-0153, p. 256.




chronology - AD 1947 - UN Vote on Jewish State :

Note "on November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly voted by 33 against 13, with 11 abstentions, for the establishment of a Jewish state in a partitioned Palestine, side by side with an Arab state and linked by an economic union that would ensure a large measure of integration and eccessibility." Ref-0153, p. 324.




chronology - AD 1948 - Israel declares independence :
Isa. [[66:8|bible.23.66.8]] (?)

Note "On May 14, 1948, the British mandate in Palestine came to an end, and the last British high commissioner departed. On that day, Israel was declared independent by its first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, at the Museum of Modern Art in Tel-Aviv." Ref-0152, p. 194. ". . .the Jews were given a national homeland in Palestine by the Balfour Declaration in November 1917. In 1922 the League of nations gave Great Britain the mandate over Palestine. On May 14, 1948, Great Britain withdrew her mandate and immediately Israel was declared a sovereign state. . ." n. The Amplified Bible It is questionable whether the context of Isa. [[66:1-24|bible.23.66.1]] supports the oft-heard modern application of this verse to the creation of the state of Israel. Questionable: Isa. [[66:8|bible.23.66.8]] (?);




chronology - AD 1967 - Six-Day War :

Note "On June 5, 1967 a pre-emptive strike strike destroyed Nasser's air force on the ground. . ." Ref-0152, p. 200.

Ref-0146, pp. 76-77.




chronology - BC 30 - AD 180 - Roman Emperors :
Caesars - Roman See note


chronology - BC 63 - AD 410 - Roman Empire over middle east :

Note Ref-0045, pp. 34-35. Ref-0049, p. 36. "Judea's independence. . . ended in year 63 B.C. with the triumphal entrance of Roman general Pompey into Jerusalem." Ref-0014, p. 64. "not only did he enter the Holy Place, but he also tore away its veil of separation and marched into the Holy of Holies itself. A record of the event was preserved by the Roman historian Tacitus: 'By right of conquest he entered their Temple. It is a fact well known, that he found no image, no statue, no symbolical representation of the Deity: the whole presented a naked dome; the sanctuary was unadorned and simple.'" Ref-0146, p. 76.




chronology - BC 63 - Pompey invades middle east :

Note Ref-0045, pp. 34-35




chronology - BC 113 - Samaritan Temple destroyed :

John [[10:22|bible.64.10.22]]

Note "164 B.C. Hasmonean revolt, led by Judas Maccabeus, liberated Jerusalem and reconsecrated the Temple. . .commemorated by Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah." Ref-0010, p. 349. "'Dedication' translates the Aramaic word hanukkah." Ref-0076, n. Ezra [[6:16|bible.15.6.16]]. "On the twenty-fifth day of the month of Kislev--then October 16, for the Hebrew lunar calendar had not been intercalated since 167 B.C.E.--in the year 164 B.C.E., the Jews celebrated the rededication of the temple sacrificial service." Ref-0150, p. 248.




chronology - BC 167 - Maccabees and Hasmoneans come to power :

Note Ref-0045, pp. 34-35




chronology - BC 168 - Antiochus Epiphanes IV desecrates temple :
Dan. [[8:23-25|bible.27.8.23]]; Dan. [[11:21-35|bible.27.11.21]]

Note "Antiochus further desecrated the Temple by sacrificing an unclean animal (a pig) on the Temple altar and by erecting a statue of Zeus Olympians in the Holy of Holies in 168 B.C. This action had been predicted by the prophet Daniel (Dan. [[8:23-25|bible.27.8.23]]; Dan. [[11:21-35|bible.27.11.21]]) and served as a partial fulfillment of the type of desecration the Temple would one day suffer under the Antichrist (Dan. [[7:24-26|bible.27.7.24]]; Dan. [[9:24-27|bible.27.9.24]]; Dan. [[11:36-45|bible.27.11.36]])." Ref-0146, p. 75.




chronology - BC 175 - BC 164 Antiochus Epiphanes IV lives :

Note Ref-0045, p. 68.




chronology - BC 331 - Death of Alexander the Great :
Dan. [[7:6|bible.27.7.6]] (four heads)

Note "When Alexander died (331 BC) his Empire was divided between his four generals: 1. Casander took over the home territory of Greece and Macedonia. 2. Lysimachus inherited Thrace and a large chunk of Asia Minor. 3. Ptolemy reigned over Egypt. 4. Seleucus became king over Syria and much of the Middle East, including Palestine." Ref-0045, p. 62. "Alexander's empire was not given to his posterity. Hercules, the son of Alexander at the time of his death, whose mother was Barsina, was murdered by Polysperchon. Young Alexander, born posthumously of Roxana, was murdered in 310 B.C." Ref-0005, p. 257.




chronology - BC 333 to BC 63 - Greek Empire under Alexander, Ptolemies, Seleucids :

Note Ref-0045, pp. 34-35




chronology - BC 444 to 33 AD - seventy sevens :
Ne. [[2:1-9|bible.16.2.1]]; Dan. [[9:24-27|bible.27.9.24]]; Luke [[19:28-40|bible.63.19.28]]

Note Dr. Harold Hoehner's calcution: Begins Nisan 1 of Artaxerces' 20th year (March 5, 444 BC, Ne. [[2:5-9|bible.16.2.5]]). Sixty-nine 'sevens' = 173,880 (29 x 7 x 360) days ending on the Triumphal Entry on Nisan 10, AD 33 (March 30, AD 33, Luke [[19:28-40|bible.63.19.28]]). Messiah cut off after 69 weeks on Nisan 14 (April 3) AD 33. Calculation: 476 years x 365.24219879 days per solar year = 173,855 days. Days between March 5 and March 30 = 25. Total: 173,855 + 25 = 173,880 days. Ref-0044, pp. 115-140. "Several factors commend this decree as the one prophesied by Daniel (Dan. [[9:25|bible.27.9.25]]) for the commencement of the seventy weeks. First, there is a direct reference to the restoration of the city (Ne. [[2:3|bible.16.2.3]],Ne. [[2:5|bible.16.2.5]]) and of the city gates and walls (Ne. [[2:3|bible.16.2.3]],Ne. [[2:8|bible.16.2.8]]). Second, Artaxerxes wrote a letter to Asaph to give materials to be used specifically for the walls (Dan. [[2:8|bible.27.2.8]]). Third, the Book of Nehemiah and Ezra [[4:7-23|bible.15.4.7]] indicate that certainly the restoration of the walls was done in the most distressing circumstances, as predicted by Daniel (Dan. [[9:25|bible.27.9.25]]). Fourth, no later decrees were given by the Persian kings pertaining to the rebuilding of Jerusalem." Ref-0044, p. 126. "The actual rebuilding of the city was first carried some decades later by the priest Ezra, the governor Nehemiah, and the prophet Malachi. Their activity set in with the decree of the Persian king Artaxerxes I Longimanus (Arthasastha), in the seventh year of his reign (465-424), regarding the political reorganization of Palestine, and therefore in the year 457 B.C. (Ezra [[7:7|bible.15.7.7]],Ezra [[7:25|bible.15.7.25]]). The beginning of Ezra's activity is thus the beginning of the seventy year-weeks. If we add to this year 457 the foretold sixty-none year-weeks, that is 483 years, we come to the year 26/27 A.D., that is, to the exact year in which, according to Luke [[3:1-2|bible.63.3.1]], shortly after John the Baptist, Christ began to proclaim the message of the heavenly kingdom."

Darius had a search made of Cyrus' decree and then issued a decree himself about 519/18 B.C. to confirm Cyrus' original decree (Ezra [[6:1-12|bible.15.6.1]]). This decree will not serve as the beginning date for the seventy weeks because it has specific reference to the temple and not to the city, and because it really is not a new decree but only confirms a former one."

Ex. [[12:40|bible.2.12.40]]; Jdg. [[11:26|bible.7.11.26]]; 1K. [[6:1|bible.11.6.1]]; Gal. [[3:16-17|bible.69.3.16]]

Note "The date of the exodus as calculated by conservatives is the reign of Amenhotep II, c. 1445-46 B.C." Ref-0105, p. 260. "The date of the Exodus can be accurately calculated since the Bible mentions in 1K. [[6:1|bible.11.6.1]] that the fourth year of Solomon's reign was 'the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt.' Surprisingly, there is scholarly agreement about the dates of Solomon's reign, placing his fourth year in the 960s BC. Subtracting 480 years takes us back to a date for the Exodus in the 1440s BC. Another Biblical reference used to date the Exodus is found in Judges, where Jephthah tells the Ammonites that Israel had been in the land for 300 years (Jdg. [[11:26|bible.7.11.26]]). Again, there is acceptance among the experts that Jephthah's victory over the Ammonties took place around 1100 BC. This would place the arrival of the Israelites in Canaan near 1400 BC, precisely 40 years after the Exodus." Mario Seiglie, "The Exodus Controversy", Ref-0066, 16.2 (2003), p. 38. Exodus - date of - earlier

Ex. [[12:40|bible.2.12.40]]; 1K. [[6:1|bible.11.6.1]]; Gal. [[3:16-17|bible.69.3.16]]

Note "The dating of the Exodus is very controversial. There are to main periods which have been suggested as fitting best the evidence for this event--one at the end of the Late Bronze Age I, and the other at the end of the Late Bronze Age II. A 13th-century date has been favored by most of the scholarly world, with either a low date of ca. 1220 BC (cf. Petrie 1911:53) or a high date of 1280 BC. (cf. Albright 1957:256). However, a 15th-century-BC date is preferred by other scholars. These scholars, too, hold either to a high date of ca. 1470 BC (cf. Bimson 1981: 135) or a low date of ca. 1445 BC (cf. Jack 1925: 199). I have opted for the 15th-century "low date," as modified to ca. 1450 BC by W. H. Shea (1982: 230-38). The dates found throughout my article are based on this date for the Exodus."

Ex. [[12:40|bible.2.12.40]]; 1K. [[6:1|bible.11.6.1]]; Gal. [[3:16-17|bible.69.3.16]]

Note "From the information revealed in 1K. [[6:1|bible.11.6.1]], the date of the Exodus can be calculated. . . Most historians agree that Solomon ascended the throne about 970 BC. His 4th year would be 966 BC, and 480 years before that would be about 1446 BC." Ref-0003, Vol. 15(1) 2001, p. 53. Exodus - date of - later

Ex. [[12:40|bible.2.12.40]]; 1K. [[6:1|bible.11.6.1]]; Gal. [[3:16-17|bible.69.3.16]]

Note "From the ages of his predecessors [Abraham's predecessors, see chronology - BC 1850 - Abrahamic Covenant] back to Noah, given in Gen. [[12:1-20|bible.1.12.1]] and 13, it can be calculated that the great universal flood occurred 427 years earlier, about 2302 BC." Ref-0003, Vol. 15(1) 2001, p. 56.
