Poetic Meter
This is a very long and complicated document going over the various poetic meters in the Bible which map the history of time. This should not be confused with the unknown date of the rapture, nor should these be confused with the bogus "Bible codes".

Majority are taken from brainout's website and reformatted for easier viewing with a consistent layout standard for all meters. I've consolidated all meters into one document for easier cross-referencing and to remove redundant information. Most of the commentary therefore is not mine; but as I continue to find more things I will update it as I see fit.
The Hebrew meters contain an elaborate feature (with JavaScript) to change between: Masoretic Hebrew, Paleo-Hebrew, Proto-Sinaitic Hebrew, and Hebrew mapped to hieroglyphs. Simply click the "Swap Hebrew" button in the top right. An example of what Daniel 9:4 looks like between all variants:

Introduction
There is a doctrine pan-Bible, unknown to scholars, that God grants specific amounts time for spiritual growth. Jews used to know, it's reflected in Talmud Sanhedrin 97-99; alas no one consulted them, lo these many millennia. Not to worry, Bible validates and elaborates on that doctrine, to wit: Messiah's Coming was timed to the very day, long in advance, and Israel was charged with tracking the time to His arrival. This tracking is explicit in the verse text, and explicit in the meter -- syllable counting of one solar year per syllable, since the Jews were commanded to memorize Scripture. The counts interact with the text to make the text easier to understand, even vivid. 490 + 70 + 490 = 1050 civilization unit benchmarks in the meter, starting in Genesis 1, were soon learned.
In the process, Israel overspent their 2100-year time allotment, such that 14 years remained to be paid -- 7 of which were allotted to Messiah's time assuming He'd live the 40 years allotted to Him. But He was crucified 7 years early, so that 14 at the time of His death, is still owed. The Millennium at that time was scheduled to start 63 years later, forecast ever since Moses with some adjustments as Israel made up for or incurred more lost time -- but now that Israel rejected Him, a new 1050 must go to the Gentiles, a kind of bridge, with Church 'in Him' as the completion of Christ's body, bride Israel refused to be. So 14-7 opened a new legal 'bridge' of undefined duration, but defined result: body completes: only if Church too doesn't become so apostate she must Rapture at the wrong time, while yet incomplete. For the number of bodies prepaid on the Cross, are known as soon as it completed. If not all of them end up in Church, it's a mistrial (for details, search on that term at Part IVa, The Lord vs. Satan: SupCtHeaven).
If instead the Church completes at the right time, the Tribulation will resume and the remaining time debt will be paid off, then 1050 of the Millennium will begin. But now, when? No one knows. So if the rapture does not happen, how will believers continue to know what time it is? Answer: Matthew 24-25 + Ephesians 1 + Luke 21 + Mark 13 + Revelation 17 prophecy for the world, how Church will go salty or saltless, and Bible freed up (hence prosperity) or kidnapped due to low interest (hence adversity)... Year by year through 3243 AD (Matthew 24-25). After that, all bets are off.
If the rapture happens, whatever time remains in this prophecy might well apply to the Millennium and beyond, or it gets truncated. Point is, you'll know what time it is, for your time.
The material turns out to be very sophisticated prophetical satire on how Church goes salty or saltless, in history. Matthew is global; Luke 21 and Paul (Ephesians 1) plot the future of the West, and Mark 13 plots the East; these latter three only go up to 1050+ a balancing number for preโChurch Tribulation 'schedule'; as like most Greek drama they focus on turning points. When Luke 21 and/or Mark 13 also 'tag' Matthew 24โ25 at the same syllable clause, the number will be boxed.
John datelines Revelation both in this Chapter and in Chapter 1, as written end 88 AD. Chapter 1 specifies 4 Chislev 88 AD, which is explained further in John Dateline Meters. To easily understand the sevening, you'll need to know How God Orchestrates Time and Bible Hebrew TIME Meter Characteristics.
John plays his meter antiphonally to Matthew 24, starting at its syllable 56 or 57 or 58 until its syllable 926. (Not sure if John uses calendar, Christ-birthday, or autumnal fiscal; Matthew 24 is likely based on vernal equinox, sacred year fiscal, for Christ is speaking on the very first day of the new sacred year, reminding everyone of Exodus 12's solar calendar mandate). Revelation 17:1's first syllable onward, also plays on Ephesians 1:3-14 (not sure what fiscal Paul uses). John's meter plays also to Luke 21 and Mark 13 in the same way as to Matthew 24, since all three chapters are dated when the writers write, but set the text in 30 AD when Christ speaks, giving His own deathbed future prophecy for Church, even as Jacob did for Israel back in Genesis 49. (Christ was supposed to be born 2000 years after Jacob, but owing to Solomon starting the building of the first Temple 3.5 years late, Christ has to be born early to match).
Backstory is in JohnDatelineMeters.pdf; updated listing of all the meters we've found including related document and video links are now in the Poetic Meter Resource Index.
Regarding intra-document links to external sources for the people or events named: the same text (i.e., name) may be linked to more than one source. For example, DIR and Wiki are used often for the same individual, as DIR is scholarly but Wiki often contains more information. So don't assume the same same link is underneath the same name.
Meter Legend & Colours
- Red underlined text: pronounce as one syllable (diphthong or elision)
- Orange: numbers divisible by 7 / counts are sevened factors AKA sevenings
- Purple: numbers divisible by 3 / counts are factors of three, trinity metering
- Pink: sub-meters / syllable count for the preceding phrase
- Green: refers to anaphora / a keyword
- Light green highlight: unmatched meter sums
- Purple highlight: textual pun on event or ruler
- Orange highlight: anaphoric centres
- ๐: memo emoji is used as a hyperlink for associated notes on the nearby word(s)
- Luke 21 โจ Mark 13 when tagging Matthew are boxed.
- Bookend references are signified by a glowing circle: 01 02 03 04.
Group Factor Meanings
Poetic Meter has doctrinal meaning, following individual or group factors. The following pan-Bible meters have doctrinal values derived from the Old Testament that interact with the text (as cross-reference, elucidator, dateline, or verifier of syllable counts), and reflect Bible's doctrine on how God orchestrates Time. Index list for all of the meters. Meters are often combined per the list below:
- 7 means promise and tribulation-quality (much suffering to grow).
- 14 means double trouble.
- 21 means the number of years Jacob indentured himself with Laban, so comes to mean growth often under unfair authority.
- 28 means 21 + 7.
- 35 means God's vote, waiting for man's vote (total equals 70, so it's something of a pun). Isaiah 53 used the meter this way to 'package' his matching paragraphs to Psalm 90.
- 42 means double growth, 21 x 2.
- 49 means Diaspora, missed sabbatical years; Daniel prays at the start of 49th year first temple down ๐๏ธ (as per his meter), for its restoration. So this comes to mean severe apostasy.
- 56 means the 49 + extra 7 years due on that added 49 which also got missed. Comes to mean danger of voting short. Thus tribulation is a hanging chad, 69 sevens in Daniel 9:26; the missed time couldn't be made up until Messiah came, and He was scheduled to die age 40, 1000 years after David died. But He died 7 years early, which this Matthew 24 ~ 25 meter, stresses. The chapter(s) is a type of dying blessing, much like Genesis 49 was from Jacob (where the blessor foretells the future). Like Isaac had done (when he thought he was dying, but didn't) to Jacob and Esau (Genesis 27:19ff).
- 63 means Vote Short, the missing 7 wasn't/won't be made up. Pointed here in Matthew 24; His due-7 will be spent taking down the Temple, 33 - 40 years after He dies.
- 70 means voting period ๐ณ๏ธ, 490 + 70 + 490 = 1000 + 50, to harvest the Gentiles, with the 70 'paying' for the 50 (hence the severe requirement for sabbatical years). Jacob spent 70 years after returning to the Land, before entering Egypt. The math of the 70 'paying' for the 50, is in Ten Ways this Timeline Differs.
- 77 means David's age at death (idea of completing God's purpose for one's life). 1 Kings 6:1 in context from 2:39 and 1 Chronicles 22 tells you that, but scholars use Josephus. Isaiah 53 uses the 77 in his meter, since its theme is First David to Last David.
- 84 means God's Decree given but not yet completed, first used by Moses in Psalm 90:4. Isaiah splits the 84 into 42's to begin and end his Chapter 53.
- 91 means Lord's 91st year, when the tribulation was supposed to start, pre-Church. So means 'season', which Paul uses in Ephesians' 1:3-14 meter.
- 98 means Lord's 98th year, when the tribulation was supposed to end and the millennium begins, pre-Church. Shorthand for millennium.
- 105 means 98 + 7, balance to Jacob's birth 2106 from Adam's fall (Lord was initially supposed to be born 2000 years later), so it's a balance to Jacob.
- 126 means 70 + 56, doom time, which Isaiah 53 used equidistantly: he wrote 126 years before the first temple would go down, and it would go down with 126 years left on its 490-year time grant โณ, hence Daniel 9:26 re-credits that lost time (49 + 70 + reimburse the 364 temple standing years = the 69 weeks in Daniel 9:26, with 7 left on the 126 for Daniel 9:27).
- 308 means Noah's time in Ark from entry to his 601st birthday. Details are at How God Orchestrates Time.
- 364 means Noah's time in Ark and first temple standing time.
- 430 means the time Israel was in Egypt, Exodus 12:40-41 (390 in slavery +10 slavery years for Joseph, so the first 40 years in Egypt were nice).
- 434 means 364 + 70.
- 490 means the time grant โณ to someone supermaturing within a historical 490 (else time ends for the world), starting with Adam's fall.
- 560 means 490 + 70: not only did someone supermature, but at least one person voted to learn God during the 70 period (Noah, Moses, refer to GeneYrs.xls).
- 1050 means 490 + 70 + 490, the basic civilization unit, which is also 1000 + 50. Two each were promised, first to non-Jews (Adam until Abram), then Jews (Abraham in 2046 super-matured, through the death of Christ, originally scheduled for 4146, but truncated to 4143, the earlier rule of 1000 years after David's death; He actually dies two months after speaking here, in 4136 from Adam's fall, rounded to 4137 in the meter counts using the civil year, which began just over 6 months prior). Talmud Sanhedrin 97-99 is a distorted version of this provision (or shorthand, excluding the extra 50's). Here in Matthew 24 ~ 25, is likely the source of the Messiah 2000, since the Old Testament scheduled the millennium to begin at 4200 (Psalm 90's meter). Here, Christ extends the timeline longer than the Old Testament did. Book of Enoch is also likely also a deformed version of Matthew 24 ~ 25, therefore not written by the 'Enoch' in the Old Testament.
Cumulative Notes
Remember: add 30 to the cumulative totals, to convert the integers to 'our' AD.
To quickly assess the time tagged by the words, add 30 to get 'our' AD then look up that year. Find items that tie to the text, to know what the text references. Some times it's 'our' year before or after, so look on both sides of the year tagged. Topic will be related to Bible (God 'appears' through His Word), apostasy, and resulting politics. When you find the right item, the text here will be so biting, you'll be dumbstruck. Example: Mark 13:8b, on seismoi, marking the start of the Diocletian persecution. End clause, Carnuntum, which kicked off the 'earthquake' of the battle of the four teterarchies. Three syllables = years later, Eastern Roman emperor Galerius dies: so no longer 'will be', get the pun? 306 AD, there was an earthquake in Israel. But physical earthquakes are not the focus of verse. Remember how Greek lit works: something political must always be euphemised and dramatized with something natural. Handy way to avoid violating maiestas.
Genesis 1 Poetic Meter
Majority of the meter documentation has been ported from brainout's Genesis 1 Meter PDF. I've taken the liberty to update some of the formatting and text, therefore most of the commentary is not my own.
Note: Genesis 1 doesn't actually end until Genesis 2:3 as shown by the petuhah (Ashuri: ืค) (Paleo: ๐ค) "paragraph" markers: I guess Stephen Langton either fell asleep or didn't have access to premium manuscripts when splitting it into verses. Shame on Christendom for not fixing these mistakes 400+ years later: proof that errors and political translations embed themselves into religious canon and nobody wants to fix it. To be fair everyone may be so used to the incorrect system now but I think these obvious problems should be fixed with markings for the incorrect verse splitting.
Doctrinal meanings are deliberate and convenient; for while you threshed wheat or walked to town, you could easily recall and mull over Scripture, thus obeying Deuteronomy 6:5-12.

Meter Import
Chapter theme is Plan of Time as 1050 years, a basic civilization TIME deadline, by the end of which, certain goals must be met. It's usually truncated or mistaken as '1000' in Jewish and Christian theologies. So, most get Bible wrong, being ignorant of this Time deadline, around which all Bible dates continually reconcile. A deadline one readily discerns, if one but counts syllables as ancient children were taught...
Hence the seventh day, 1141 = 1050 + 91, when compared with the text (especially ืฆึฐืึธืึธึฝืื in Genesis 2:1, meaning war or armies, translators mask it), equals Daniel 9:24's statement: all rebellion must complete before the end comes. Angelic rebellion is also in verse 2 (see Isaiah 45:7, 18-19), Earth is trashed up so the Holy Spirit 'hovers', wryly awaits Father's order to restore. God has Moses sketch a tripartite parallel:
- Israel's deliverance 40 years prior, through water
- Noah in the boat, and ~
- deliverance of Earth here in Genesis 1:2
Analogous to child delivery through water: for in ending ellipsis, is another 1050 to end at Christ's BIRTH, covered in the 700, below. Same as for Psalm 90!
91 is a tribulation meter (also verse 19 to end verse 21); so 7 is in ellipsis at both start and chapter end: 98 = His 97th birthday, when Millennium โ a birthday present โ was to begin. The extra 7 was potential, foreknown to go past Israel's 2100-year 'time budget'. So the jaw-dropping trial issue became: would Christ pay for a much larger number of future sins? Answer is in Matthew 16:18: yes, Christ votes for however many future humans Father chooses, ratified the night He was arrested (John 17:20ff). The 14 sum had a long ride, starting with Jacob staying 14 years too long with Laban; it gets made up and then goes overbudget again, until finally it pairs up with the tribulation as a sabbatical seven which can't play but during Messiah's lifetime (theme of Isaiah 53 and Daniel 9:26, seven due on the 49 causing temple down ๐๏ธ). So He went to the highways and byways (Matthew's theme after 16:18), final warning call, Israel! Vote on time! But Israel didn't: as a result we exist (theme of Romans 11). So that extra 7 in ellipsis allocated to the seventh day, meant we Church, might have no future. Hence God has Moses pregnantly dateline 7 in double ellipsis, when he writes.
Dateline A
Dateline A: Moses uses 63 as Genesis' theme, vote short, with 7 in ellipsis both upfront and at the end, 1141 + 7. Equidistant ellipsis is a hallmark auditing trait of Bible meters; when you find it, you know the meter count is right. 63 is also a dateline: Moses writes 1400 BC, 63 sevens after Israel enslaved. Same 63 in Psalm 90.
- Double pun: Israel now 40 years in wilderness. First 40 years in Egypt were good, 1870 - 1830. Moses writes 470 years after Jacob entered Egypt, 430 years after Israel was enslaved, another pun on what he'll later write (Exodus 12:40-41) but they already knew. So 63 sevens from Jacob's entry into Egypt, has three pieces:
- 10 years = Joseph's slavery,
- 390 years Israel also enslaved,
- 40 years post-Exodus.
- Jacob entered Egypt age 130 in 1870 BC per Bible (if you did the math). Psalm 90:15's rule of God orchestrating time (equidistantly), Moses prayed during his own wilderness, age 40 - 80, within the 70-year historical voting window, 1516 - 1446 BC, voting between 1480 - 1440. Now 1400 BC = 2706 from Adam's fall, count back 390 + 40 + 40 to when Jacob entered, first 40 were good: 390 + 40 = 430, = Exodus 12:40-41. Remaining are 10 Joseph enslaved, not contiguous. So 390 + 10 + 40 = 63 sevens, completes promise to Abraham of 400 years slavery, likely starting as creeping 'eminent domain' claim over Goshen in the name of building granary cities by Amenemhet III; then, gradual descent into temple building slaves. Amenemhet III's great grandfather II was Pharaoh of the Dream, gave Goshen to Israel per Joseph's request, Genesis 47:5-6. Irony: Moses was Pharoah himself, 63 years pre-Exodus, writing now in 84th year after Hatshepsut. For there were two Thutmose III's, as the ruling period is too long. The concubine's son was only 10 years old; Hatshepsut shrewdly claimed an unrelated heir she could control or discard; named him Moses, drawn from the water = gifted by Isis, to keep factions at bay: much as Elizabeth I, used her marital eligibility. Ergo the concubine son's later need to desecrate/take over her monuments, etc., when Moses abdicated. Ergo Psalm 90 dateline B = 84 years from Hatshepsut's death (start of her death year to end of his writing year, 82 years between).
Verse 31's 1050
Verse 31's 1050 = 490 + 70 + 490 civilization time 'house': vote for God as your refuge, or die. So, Trinity votes aka decrees, God the Holy Spirit speaking light into re-existence verse 3, after 'our' section of the universe got trashed (by Satan & Co, verse 2 and Isaiah 45), Holy Spirit playing 'mother hen', Hebrew ืึฐืจึทืึถึืคึถืช. The remaining 7 (63 + 7) is voting in history. Moses thus writes end first year of Exodus, given a new 490 time grant โณ (based on his maturation vote during the prior 70), 70 x 7 = 490 years after Joseph's enslavement back in 2176 from Adam's Fall. (Row 62 in the worksheet, 4th Timeline shift in the Bible: Adam to Noah, Noah to Abraham, Abraham to Joseph, then Joseph to Moses who turns God down in Numbers 14:12-20 so the time grant โณ shifts, to Israel as a nation. You'd know this if you plotted from Genesis 5 forward, only using Bible's dates and only solar years. Verses used for the worksheet).
Seventy Times Seven
70 x 7 = 490 years before the time grant โณ for Temple dedication ends (1440 - 950 BC: Solomon barely makes it, 1 Kings 6:1 compared to 9:1). You get that by inserting the 7 in ellipsis. All Bible writers employ ellipsis in their meters. They may also use other sevenings, and tag even the ellipses in other Bible passages.
Dateline B
Dateline B: 119 years after Moses born (2706 Exodus โ 119 = 1520 BC). Also, 119 x 7 after Terah (Abraham's father) born. Parallel to Terah's own 'exodus' from Ur (Genesis 11:31), counting also from birth as an 'exodus' from the womb: parallel to water.
Sevened Meters, Doctrinal Meaning
a. Verse 3
Verse 3: 63 light on vote.
As noted above, 63 'sevens' after Israel enslaved. Missing 7 from 70 = 63. Here's how that works: God votes, 35; result or response vote, the remaining 35, so a 'vote completion' = 70. But Light just turned on, vote is not complete, 'first day'. Clever play on elided 7 too, lollygagging seven days, to restore. Meter totals 1155, ellipsis = 14. For Israel's vote won't complete, but it can. Ellipsis 'time' begins when voting stops.
63 also tags the vote short of Satan & Co., who caused tohu wa bohu (ืชึนืืึผ ืึธืึนืืึผ) in verse 2. Past is prologue: their vote stopped, so now turf they've wrecked is prepped for new voters: mankind. Moses' readers long knew this; but he draws water parallel ('moses' = drawn from the Water) between Israel's deliverance and Restoration Earth; so the world knows where to vote for the Real God.
b. Verse 5
Verse 5: 119 light on, first day ends.
As noted above, Moses writes when he's aged 119, the same year he dies: 119 x 7 after Terah is born.
God votes, since the 'Decree' = 84 + voting 35 = 119, but also 63 + 56, the combination here in view. Next, 126 (119 + 7) + 364 = 490. So 119 telegraphs Purpose of Day One will not be met on time. Thus Psalm 90:1-4 is 84, = 70 + 14; but Psalm 90:16-17 ("establish our hands" twice, Temple and Jerusalem rebuilt in time for Christ's scheduled Birth in 4106) is instead, 56: Future Temple threatened. See row 146.
By contrast in Genesis, 63 + 56 = 119, as the extra 7 will be given to Messiah's lifetime; God foreknew it wouldn't play. So this is a hint regarding Church as the Time Bridge, a theme echoed in 378 (verse 13). Yet Church was not prophesied, as it was up to Christ when He came, whether He'd WANT to pay for yet more souls. So pre-Christ, the prophecy was merely, there's a recurring problem: we keep missing our appointed times (verse 14's ืึผืึฐืึฃืึนืขึฒืึดึืื).
c. Verse 6
Verse 6: 145 separation of waters, recreates atmosphere.
Maybe should be 147 but I can't force it; syllables don't seem to justify more. If there is justification for this, then 147 with an ellipsis: 77 x 2 = 154 - 7 = 147. Because of: 154 x 7 = 1078.
- Also, lifetime of First David to end of scheduled lifetime of Last David is 1078 in Isaiah 53, built with two elisions:
- 252 between Isaiah 52:15, which ends at 77 for David's lifetime, and ~
- 364 between verses 10 ~ 11 (covering the intertestamental period) to reimburse first temple's standing time (364 + 70 = 62 weeks in Daniel); so Isaiah 53:11 begins at 33 BC (when Octavian gained control) running straight to 37 AD, 1000th anniversary of David's death when Messiah was to die. The Lord would actually die 7 years prior.
d. Verse 8
Verse 8: 210 Atmosphere restored, second day ends.
210 = overage now allocated, 70 then 140 now 210. Back on time. 210 x 7 = 1470 = years between initial Exodus and Christ's actual Death, to the very day; but 2870 BC means nothing (Kenan died).
Also, Moses writes 210 years after the 490 from Noah's death in 2100 BC. I don't know who picked up the time baton back in 1610 BC, didn't even know there was a 490 from Noah's death, or why this is sevened. Instead I find Noah's sons born 1556 from Adam's fall, + 490 = 2046 when Abraham matured. That deadline, every Bible book tracks.
Joseph's 490 started 2176, ends at Exodus. However, the next most-traced deadline, is 1000 from David's death (endpoint in Daniel 9:26, using solar years as Exodus 12 demands), so is Noahic from-death 490 a deadline? Or, Jochebed born 1610 BC? Translators wreck Exodus 6:20 and even Jews get it wrong. Maybe Exodus 2:1-2 is metered for her age. Or better, 1610 tags end of Hammurabi's Babylon (rounded), as Moses also tags Hammurabi's 'start' at 364, below. Hittite empire started here too: this implies that when Noahic protection ended, trouble began (foretaste of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28).
e. Verse 12
Verse 12: 364, separation of land and sea, then vegetation and 'year' = Noah in Boat.
364 = years first temple will stand = Paul's Ephesians 1:3-14 'Year of Church' (playing off Genesis 1's four 91s) + 70 to make 62 weeks' analogy (Church to Bridge Time back to Daniel 9:27). So, vegetation sprouts after dry land is supernaturally restored, so growth is independent, not finished; so the processes we see now, are long-term results of that day, not the initial process, which Yes, was a miracle. He instantly did it all the first time, Genesis 1:1. Yet He now chooses to redo it slowly and comically, per 24-hour 'day'. Revelation uses 364 also, to front a drama quadrilogy per Aristotle's Poetics. Genesis is no less biting, but Revelation is on the finish of that habitation to get ready for eternity, ties directly back here to Genesis.
What deadline and/or event might 1400 + 364, 'tag'?
- Hammurabi taking over lower Mesopotamia by 1764 BC?
- Egypt's 12th dynasty having died?
Well, it would be apt as Hammurabi did that via flooding, goal of uniting the 'world'. Funny how mankind craves over uniting under one ruler and glorifies past empires, yet calls imperialism, ipse 'evil'. Babylonia had an insane code of laws (accused jumps in a river, is guilty if he sinks) which didn't mate penalty to crime nor allow mitigating circumstance. So does Moses 'tag' Hammurabi to satirize? Hammurabi belongs to the third 1050 'day', like Israel. Mosaic Law satirizes everything pagan, to show God provides a better Law. And/or, 364 or 364 + 7 x 7? Which takes us back to Adam: 109 or 158 post-Fall (364 x 7 = 2548 or (364 + 7) x 7 = 2597 then add 1400), but what event?
f. Verse(s) 13, 15, 16, 17, 18
Verse 13: 378 third day ends.
70 years after Jacob dies, so too dies Egypt's 12th Dynasty (1785 BC. 1400 + 378 + 7), who enslaved Israel within 50 years after Joseph also died (1400 + 378 + 7 = 1785 BC, Jacob = Israel dying in 1853 and Joseph in 1836). Now 14 'late' (378 - 364): Jacob's extra servitude, two families then 'sprouting'. Cutely depicted as separation between dry land and water, after atmosphere restored on the second day, so now vegetation. Freedom to congregate or separate, to be in the 'sea' (or land) of people and thus drown, or sail/walk away to survive.
Isaiah 53:1-12's meter = 385; fronting 77 in verse 52:13-15 (where in the Hebrew, Isaiah 53 begins) = David's lifetime. Messiah is to 'absorb' the extra 7 in His lifetime. God repeats that in Daniel 9:26's '62 weeks'. But Christ Last Adam, dies end of 61st week, 378 not 385. So 1400 BC Moses writes, plus 378 x 7 = 60 years after Adam's Fall, a kind of 61 (1400 + 2646 = 4046 + 60 = 4106 when Adam fell; the anniversary of 60th year begins 61st year). Enough time for three generations plus Adam.
Meters between 378 and 560, display 'appointed times' (ืึผืึฐืึฃืึนืขึฒืึดึืื) for Day Four. Why? These 'appointments' caused Israel to be enslaved and get free. They are:
- 448 (1400 + 448 + 7 = 1855 rounded for 1853 when Jacob died).
- 497 (1400 + 497 = 1897, Sesostris II son of Pharaoh of the Dream Amenemhet II, starts rule in the last 20 of the 40 ending with 7 'fat years').
- 518 (1400 + 518 = 1918, falsely-accused Joseph, goes to prison. Count three years: start of 1918, then 1917, then end 1916 he's made vizier).
- 546 (1400 + 546 = 1946, Joseph born).
g. Verse 19
Verse 19: 560 fourth day ends, sun and moon signs of Time.
Voting period ๐ณ๏ธ 490 + 70 = 560. Jacob enters Haran 560 years before Moses writes; Jacob entered, 490 years after the Flood; he enters Egypt, in 91st year after he entered Haran, knowing full well the eventual slavery promised Abraham. So Moses plays on both 490, a voting deadline for one believer to supermature and on 70, the mass voting by all believers on earth, to learn God. Sum is 560, and if that 70 isn't also met, time ends. 80 weeks, 52 + 28, equals Time from autumnal equinox fiscal prior (whole year) to start of second Passover week.
Note that God did not restore stars and moon to start vegetation; and, some were already there. Takes 3 days for wet seeds to sprout in darkness. So much for clueless Bible debunkers who disdain verses 14-19, as the skylights aren't created (really, restored) until the 4th day. Genesis keeps repeating it's a miracle: God speaks, and it is so. How else can you differentiate Him from a natural process?
So now we have to look at the components of 560:
- 364 (year) + 70 (voting) = 434 (62 weeks) + 70 + 56.
- In turn, the 490 itself is 364 + 70 + 56.
- Broken down further, we have: 91 + 91 + 91 + 91 + 70 + 70 + 56.
These meters are all over Bible. 91 stands for 'quarter' and 'Tribulation' (Christ's 90th birthday, begins His 91st year), 70 for voting, 56 for voting in danger. All Bible writers use them that way, starting with Moses himself, both here and in Psalm 90.
h. Verse 21 (ending)
Verse 21b: 651 fifth day teeming sea and air life.
Since land vegetation needs time to grow, sea and air come first (birds can dive for fish, rest on land). God did it all supernaturally; but He uses sequence to teach principles man needs to learn. 651 + elided 7 = 658 = years from Abraham's maturation (1400 + 658 = 2058, counting from end maturation year to start writing year on autumnal fiscal, so 2058 = 2060). 686 is obvious: Genesis 12, God tells (= 35 meter) Abram age 75 to leave his dad, so maybe Terah went negative? (Abraham born 2160 BC โ 75 = end 2086 BC = 1440 + 686). Note that sometimes ellipsis is used to make meter fit the text. Here, idea of profit, 'fifth'. Profit of listening to God (686 + 0) followed by the profit of maturation (651 + 7).
i. Verse 23
Verse 23: 700 fifth day ends with flora and fauna on sea and air, vegetation on land.
This makes sense too, as it allows time for the animals to figure out where the food is and get it (even if made by miracle). 700 - 365.25 = 334.75 days into a 'second' year. (Psalm 90 is 350 syllables spanning Decree of God regarding man, to Adam's vote, then Noah's vote, then Moses' vote, then that future hanging chad which is the last 70-year historical voting period ๐ณ๏ธ pre-Christ). If calling Year One at 701 x 7, Adamic year would be 2450 at 1050 = end 5th contiguous 490, just before Ahmose I. Yet Decree to create man starts syllable 766. So:
- If 1050 - 765 = 285
- Then x 7 = 1995 = Abram's 49th year + 7 (ellipsis) x seven = 98th year
- If accounting from start first year to end last, then we get his 100th year
Moses writes 700 years after Noah died in 2100 BC. 350 (35 + 315) years later is 1050 from Noah's death; 1050 years after that, Messiah was to be born, 2100 years after Noah died. The Lord ends up, born 3 years prior due to David's late crowning and Solomon starting Temple late. The 735 dates back to when Terah took a still-too-young Abram and his brother to Haran, Genesis 11:31 (1400 + 735 = 2135 BC). Genesis 12, God orders Abram at age 75 to leave his father, 49 years later (686, implies Abram's family went apostate 14 years after Noah died). Again, theme is 'exodus' as a kind of 'birth', separation and dedication to God.
j. Verse 31
Verse 31: 1050 sixth day ends, fauna on land, then mankind.
Moses writes 1050 years after the Flood. 1050 x 7 = 7350, might be why Jews maintain total allotted time = 7000 years (as shorthand) in Sanhedrin 97-99 of Talmud. Yet it's the sixth day, not seventh. If we continue accounting 1050 as Year One, Abram renamed AvRAHam age 100: the 1050 actually starting then (David's crowning deadline met in 3096, but only over Hebron), makes a lot of sense now.
So Adamic year 2046, is here put on a new time track as Year One. 2100 years allotted to the Jews, begins 2046.5 from Adam's Fall. Moses uses 1050 equidistantly in Psalm 90, written 40 years later: there, he writes in the 1051st year after the Flood; when his 350(!) syllable = years (for the Judges, a second time track) ends, another 1050 years remain to Messiah's Birth, also originally based on Abraham's maturation: the Lord was to be born 4106, 2000 years after Jacob, die 4146, 2100 years after Abram renamed. By contrast here, Moses writes 1010 years after the Flood. The scheduled death of Messiah is also 1010 years after David will retire from Kingship over all Israel; the Lord actually dies 1000 years after David's retirement. See the Time Distance Chart, here.
The next issue: as noted above, this 'sixth day' meter also stands for 1050 + 7 : remember the ending 7 also in ellipsis (total of 2 sevens)? The idea is that God foreknows Time will run past the initial design and has made provision for it. So here you have mathemathical proof that God doesn't coerce volition, but instead Provides Freedom, and then makes good on it. Moses will do this same thing in Psalm 90, ensconcing 14 with the 70 to form an '84' as the tally for Psalm 90:1-4; Meaning? Decree, which all of the other Bible writers will tag. The extra 7 between 84 and 91 (seventh day meter, 1141 - 1050), will end up playing during Church. Its final provenance is Christ dying 7 years early, which goes undetected by scholars who use lunar years in Daniel 9:26. Bible only and always requires solar year accounting. So if they followed Bible instead of culture, they would all see the extra seven years as the 62nd week, ending 37 AD, and would stop being preterists or fellow dispensationalists, who shoehorn a lunar calculation that doesn't balance either. The Bible's calculation is instead, in solar years:
- 586 BC decree of GOD in Daniel 9:24, Jeremiah 25 and 29 that Daniel was reading per Daniel 9:2 (so no human king's decree to rebuild, only God's):
- 586 โ 70 โ 70 โ 49 (= 397 BC, Malachi completed) - 434 = 37 AD.
k. Verse(s) 32, 34 (2:1, 2:3)
Verse(s) 32, 34 (2:1, 2:3): 1141 seventh day, 'rest', signifies provision to resolve Angelic Conflict is completed
1050 + 91 with 7 in ending ellipsis. God did HIS Vote. Now, it's our turn.
- 1141 x 7 = 7987
- 1148 x 7 = 8036
- 1155 x 7 = 8085
The 1141 is 163 sevens, which as days are = 3 years + 45.25 days. Now you know why 1335 - 1290 days in Daniel 12 (counting backwards from Second Advent) = the exit window at mid-tribulation (Revelation 11, when the witnesses are killed, last opportunity to get out during the chaos after the earthquake, before the Revelation 13:15 statue is set up, day 1221 of the tribulation through day 1266)
The 1067 in verse 21 using tsaba'oth = armies warring (ืฆึฐืึธืึธึฝืื in the text), is your deft clue that the seventh day involves the Angelic Conflict. It's unfortunate that the arrogance of religious humans won't allow for beings higher than themselves, to be the proximate cause of their creation; that we belittle these angelic beings made by GOD, into red horns and tail, wisps on the wind, or androgenous figures in trenchcoats; or worse, that our theologies are silent about bald passages like angels cohabiting with humans, in Genesis 6. The hoary heads explain that all away, just as atheists try to explain away a universe that clearly is not its own cause. So we miss the why of our existence, of a tribulation: to resolve the Angelic Conflict, not our own. Man is the stadium on which this trial is played, and how man votes for or against God, is trial evidence. Revelation makes that plain, using standard Greek drama style in Aristotle's poetics, so there's no hidden meaning, no hidden code, but a well-known rhetorical style any Greek reader would recognize immediately. But if you obscure it in translation or teaching, then your students, won't know. So God starts that trial theme, right here in Genesis, and all metered passages reference it.
Unfortunately, the childish and anti-semitic 'theologies' of the past 2000 years, so hungry to cut out the Jews, totally missed why Tribulation and Millennium: as a reward to CHRIST for beating Satan. This fact is trenchantly explained in Hebrews Chapter 1 onward. (Hebrews pins its text to Mark for flow-of-points outline, then on Peter for content, on Ephesians for 'walls' and the Church History prophecy, all tied back to Jeremiah 3, 31, and Psalm 110). We saw the Conflict in Genesis 1:2, Earth suddenly tohu wa bohu (see Isaiah 45:18-19 and the videos on the verses). Something went WRONG. Conclusion for us moderns, since our ancestors didn't pass on what they learned from Moses, is that the demons made this planet their home, and trashed it up. In short, this Conflict is on their turf. Coupled with Job 1 and 2, Matthew 4, Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, you can well derive all you need to know regarding how this Conflict plays, why Satan's fighting, etc. Here though, we see the legal impetus for man's creation. It was intended anyway, given axiomatic language on the sixth day: Let us Create does not say, 'due to the Trial' as a legal preamble.
When you realize you're part of something far bigger than your normal 'world' of tea-and-baguette, then you look UP. We are in a war not our making, but we must choose sides. Thus begins the siring of the man to pay for a mankind He authorizes, exist. Meanwhile, that Love motive serves to answer Satan & Co. as to why going low, is better than standing atop some mountain beating your chest, chortling about how good you are. And we humans, well... we keep choosing that mountain of Satan, ignoring the mountain of sins Christ unilaterally absorbed so we could live on His mountain, instead
- John 17:20ff, known prior and explained in Hebrews 7~10, with 11 being about the trial, how Israel's time cannot resume nor Old Testament folk be resurrected until we are raptured, end chapter 'without us they will not be completed'.
Victory is not in numbers. It's in the quality of your life. Quality of life is internal, not external. Happy when hurting, Hebrews 12:2, vs. hurting when happy, Psalm 37, Matthew 16:26, Mark 8:36, Luke 9:25. Only God can give you the former, since it requires you think like Him. He's happy. All the tribulations hit Him first. So how can HE be happy? Learn to think like Him rather than like Satan, and you'll know. That dramatic theme starts right here: keyword tsabaoth, alerts you.
Meter Bookends / Palindromes / Patterns
The pattern and symmetry here is not at all like Psalm 90; yet most of these meters are used in Psalm 90, and all the two-digit meters are used in every Bible book I've parsed thus far (all of the New Testament datelines, for example). Each Bible book uses at least one of the three- or four-digit meters. So the Genesis meter precedent is followed. Whether the other books 'tag' Genesis 1 at these meters, I'm not yet sure. Genesis does establish doctrinal meaning for each meter. Of course, combinations of these meters and their totals, allow for many more usages.
Moreover, some of the meters are compounds, like 42 (28 + 14 above) = 3 x 14, which Matthew uses in his genealogy. 77 is visual shorthand for 490, used by Isaiah 52:13-15 for David's lifetime, and thus by Luke 3 for his genealogy. In short, there is a much proof that these meters are deliberate cross-reference and doctrinal shorthand tools, not arcane mystery numbers to wow the reader. They are meant to be learned and lived on, just like the text, and they interact with the text. Would be nice, if we all started learning them. Painful at first, but rewarding. If you want certitude that this is God's Word, you're looking at how to get it. For only God can orchestrate REAL TIME to match meter numbers in a book claimed to be from Him, over and over and over.
Here, the real total is maybe 1155, including both sevens in ellipsis (one beginning, one ending). 165 sevens. Same idea as adding 14 to 1141 at the end. For the start should have been 70, not 63. Somehow God's telling you the harvesting of history, this way. 1078 + 77 = 1155. But I'm not sure how to read all the meters, yet. It's real tempting to claim that allotted time including Church is 1155 x 7, but that's not necessarily true. If it were true, then the meter would have to be somewhere in the New Testament. All presently found New Testament meters go no higher than Peter's 483 which ties back to Daniel 9. Even Revelation 1's meter goes no higher than the 364.
God's Play of History:
Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, Daniel 9 and Ephesians 1:3-14
The Meaning of the Meter
In modern times, we number our paragraphs, pages, or sections to make cross-reference, easier. The Bible was divided up into chapters and verses, during the 1100's AD, for that reason. But the ancients didn't handle the text that way. Instead, they memorized their great literature or religious works, and expected others to know it also. Therefore when you read ancient texts, often the editors subscript the text with line numbers or word counts. Other editions divide text along more modern conventions.
By contrast, when ancient peoples used famous text, they:
- quoted swatches of a passage so everyone could follow along, and ~
- made numeric references to paragraph or syllable counts.
For you end up using your fingers and counting. Like when you go to the grocery store, you find it easier to remember what you need, if you counted how many items you needed, and then mentally checked your grocery basket, for the number of items. And like you, the ancients found it often more convenient to memorize, than to write things down, even though they not only could read, but they were more much adept at using language. They didn't have TV or computers for entertainment. But they did have, words. Millions of dollars were awarded for the best plays, the best write-ups of a polity's history, etc. People lived on their stories and memorized them, replayed them over and over during the day. Hence, syllable counting was part and parcel of discourse, and wordplay based on syllable counts was common. Frankly, that's why poems and odes, etc. became popular: 'easier to count a well-known meter, or make jokes, new witticisms, by changing that meter.
This number wordplay was even more important, with respect to prophecy or history. Every nation had its own dates, kings, numbers which were important to its people. These well-known dates were often made into songs or rhymes children would memorize, analogous to how we American kids learned "in fourteen-hundred-and-ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue". So over time, the numbers would have a meaning of their own needing no explanation, akin to how everyone in the world today knows what '9/11' means. In America, '1776' is an important historical number. If someone made a 1776-syllable poem about America's history, we'd all appreciate that, especially if they metered the poem to specific years in American history.
Essentially, that's what Bible writers did. For it's not too hard to appreciate that Israel, given by God the burden of carrying time itself โณ (Deuteronomy 32:8), would have an extensive numerical system of mnemonics, both to remind her of what time it is -- since she's to carry time โณ -- but just as importantly, to remember what doctrine it is ๐ง . For she memorized her Scripture by Law, Deuteronomy 31. Periodically in the OT from Deuteronomy forward, you find verses which say Joshua or a judge or a king or a priest read the law to the people and they make a covenant to obey it. They can't make a covenant about something they can't remember. And they can't remember something they can't count to verify they remembered. Just like, a grocery list, only far more important.
So to make that material even more memorable, Scripture writers used meter to reflect what time it is โณ and what doctrine it is ๐ง . Verses were known by their syllable counts; the counts were known by what the numbers represented; whether time โณ, or a doctrine ๐ง (i.e., 3 for Trinity, 6 for man). So that cross-reference system underscored the words' meaning, gave them a historical setting to which one could relate the words. Modern examples are many, and we all know them, use them in a variety of expressions, almost daily: 'One' if by land, 'Two' if by sea. Go Fish. Bingo. Multiplication tables. In seventeen hundred and seventy-six, Americans rose to beat the Brits. In seventeen hundred and eighty-one, the United States was born: we won. Stuff like that.
So, Moses' Psalm 90, Isaiah's chapter 53, Daniel's 9:4-26, Paul's Ephesians 1:3-14, are metered: these four passages create a type of four-act play about time โณ. All time. For all time. For everyone to know what time it is โณ. Both now, and in the future. Other Bible passages are part of this 'play', but I've not had time ๐ to find them all. So for now, we'll just look at these four chapters.
God's doctrine for time ๐ง โณ is not known in Christendom, and is garbled in Judaism. I learned it by accident, having asked God what my pastor meant by teaching believers are used from Adam forward, to buy time ๐ธ. So back in 1999, I started webpages and made videos about this. The research is incomplete: but there's enough proof now, to assert this doctrine valid. You can test this claim. Each video's description has links to webpage material which explains this doctrine. So terms used in this document are provided either within the videos, or the webpages. The Youtube video playlists are: Yapping Most High Part 10, Psalm 90 Meter of Time, Isaiah 53 Meter Hypothesis, and now, this Greek Geek Stuff.
For Christmas 2010, I was caused to learn Paul uses Hebrew meter in Greek words, to explain what time it is โณ, So Church can bridge time back To Israel's time. It's a wifely function, since the Saviour is also King of the Jews, and inherited all time (and everything else) -- just as promised to: Daniel, David, Isaiah, Moses, Abraham, Noah, Adam, the world. As Hebrews 11:39-40 puts it: apart from us, they will not be completed. For Israel had rejected her groom when he came. So now Vashti having refused, an Esther is sought -- and we are bride of Christ ๐ฐโโ๏ธ, when we fulfill that role, which alike saves Israel and her time. For her Saviour, who is David's greater Son. Height, width, depth, length, Paul's prayer: yeah, a temple ๐๏ธ! Two Covenants , Two Walls, as Paul explains in Ephesians 2. That Chapter seems to come from nowhere in translation, and his prayer in English, seems cryptic, even mystical. Yeah, because Paul built up to it via meter, which you can only see in his original Greek text. So in translation, you'll never understand what he's really saying. In translation, it sounds like nice church-y language, sigh here. Guess again! Daniel's prayer for the temple to be rebuilt is the reason you and I are alive today. TIME DEPENDED ON THE TEMPLE STANDING. Yeah, and it does now, too. We are the Temple being built now (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Time depends on you and me. On if we vote as Daniel did. That is Paul's message; it's invisible in translation.
Consequently, this document charts salient meter-and-content-'threading' characteristics per Chapter, to prove 'fit' to Psalm 90's rhetorical style. It will not be complete, but it will help the reader to find the meaning in the meter, pan-Bible. This 'threading' is vital to dating Bible passages and events; it is especially crucial to interpretation and proper eschatology. For Bible meter indexes, as well as counts, to ACcount for God's Promise being delivered on time ๐ฆ; as well as, to prove what that Promise is.
For Israel, the Promise was that Messiah would arrive on schedule ๐; ever since Abraham, therefore, the promised Millennium was scheduled to begin at the end of the second 2100 from Adam. So Abraham's sons, and finally Israel the nation, were constantly warned not to miss that Appointment, for the Last Seth (Sheth='appointed') will arrive on time ๐ฆ. So the pregnant word in Hebrew, l'moedth, meaning a unity of time and space and place, was constantly invoked to remind Israel to show up at Temple, even while she was in the wilderness. So every Bible passage about time or prophecy has in it the amount of time past and remaining -- to remind Israel of Her Ultimate Appointment. Since she had to memorize Scripture aurally and orally, that prodigious body would be convenient and instructive to memorize, if the syllables added up in meaningful ways. So, they do. So, you're about to see how they do, in a sample of four passages which even include Paul's New Testament Greek. For he adopts the same Hebrew parsing as Moses, Isaiah, and Daniel. Thus he metrically wraps Ephesians 1:3-14 around those Old Testament chapters, playing 'Daniel' for Church Age, and (sotto-voce) bids all believers do the same. So Ephesians 1:15-23, is a prayer modelled after Daniel's. So he prays for: height, width depth, and length -- temple ๐๏ธ dimensions. So Ephesians 2 is about temple. You can't know all that 'fit' to Psalm 90-Daniel 9, until you see how Paul uses Hebrew meter about time granted โณ to the Temple aka Messiah promised David the first appointed messiah who wanted a permanent Temple, that God granted in 2 Samuel 7.
Thus we know: when Paul wrote Ephesians, and how to interpret it. For the meter acts as a cross-reference, just as Bible keywords do. Which means, other New Testament writers do the same -- so when you see Paul's meter, look for it in other New Testament passages. Same, for the Old Testament. The meter is real. The meter is real important. The meter would really silence a lot of doubts and debunkers, if it were given the attention it deserves. Preterism would die immediately. The meter proves that the Tribulation is the result of a Past Owed Time Debit from the First-Temple period. Nothing at all titillating, and nothing to gloat about!
Sadly, for the last 2000 years scholars largely continue to deprecate Bible meter, as they are prejudiced against the very idea; in part, they associate Bible meter with kooks who spout nonsense re Bible's numbers (i.e., Bible codes). So Christianity remains clueless about Bible meter. Worse, scholars ASSume Bible's years are lunar, when God plainly says in Exodus 12 that Israel's to have a new calendar, so Israel will always keep her BIRTHDAY on time. God has always measured in terms of birthdays. So Bible never uses lunar years. Scholars instead ASSume it does; so they can't reconcile Bible's dates, and especially, Daniel 9. For Daniel 9 runs SEVEN YEARS LONGER than scholars expect. So they explain that away, by recourse to lunar years. Thus comforted that 490 lunar years equals 483 solar years, they cover up a most important doctrine in the Bible: WHAT TIME IT IS. So of course now, no one knows; Jews too make excuses and keep their perpetually-wrong calendar. In short, everyone prides himself on his 'faith' in a Bible that seemingly can't add and subtract. Thus we get Exodus, David and his sons, even Christ's Birth and Death dates, horribly wrong.
Bible's Hebrew meter displays and would help dispel, these errors. So let's examine Bible meter in these chapters. Psalm 90 sets their rhetorical precedent. Other Bible passages 'talking back to' Psalm 90 have these same attributes:
- Palindromic, piggybacking, sevening meter.
- Each such passage has a first metered paragraph divisible by 7, to convey equidistant dates.
- For Moses prayed for this equidistance, Psalm 90:15.
- So other Bible passages 'reply' with how Moses' prayer is answered by God.
- Other Bible verses point to Psalm 90 in other ways, i.e., Revelation 11 points at Psalm 90's forty-two's as months, since Gentiles 'get' Tribulation's first half to 'reimburse' for Abram's too-early maturation, 53.5 years before the second 2100 began. So that too-early maturation must be made up (and will be, 40 extra years the Temple stands after Church begins, plus 14 years playing as two Tribulational 'sevens' against Israel).
- For God treats time like a loan, a balance sheet item with debits and credits ๐. Hence the need for the amounts to match in both number, and in character.
- Psalm 90 thus measures TIME in sevening meter, from First Millennium to Last Millennium; so one may know his 'location', in God's Play of History ๐ญ; whether backward, from where Time has been; or forward, where Time is going.
Thus you can know when a passage is written and what it means, through a self-auditing methodology within the text itself. This chart and its footnotes are still incomplete.

| Total | 350 | = 'the Play', Eternity Past through Millennium, 5 Voting Periods (@ 1050 years) had Israel Accepted Christ when He came. (Hence Church is inserted in lieu of the 50-year goyim 'jubilee', TO SAVE TIME.) |
Equidistance Precedence for the rhetorical style: Psalm 90's 350 syllables + 4900 (10 x 490) in embedded ellipsis, represent all scheduled history, 1050 x 5 years. So Psalm 90 is 'chaptered' into five 70's, each representing one 1050, to metrically measure Time from:
- First Millennium to Last Millennium, and ~
- from Israel's enslavement commencement and the Flood.
So Psalm 90's syllables are first divisible by 763. That is:
- 63 sevens from Israel's slaveship start. It is thus accounted:
- Abraham matured 390 years post-Flood [A]
- + Joseph enslaved 10 years = 400.
- 390 + 10 slaveship years, + 40 nice years under Joseph = 430 total (Joseph's years overlap), Exodus 12:40-41.
- + 40 years in wilderness = 63 sevens, so Moses writes Psalm 90 @ start of the 41st year post-Exodus; he counts both beginning & ending years.
- 63 sevens to Temple's foundation, 1 Kings 6:1.
- 63 sevens after b), is the end of David's 490 protecting the Temple (based on Hebron Kingship). Ergo, Haggai 2.
- 63 years pre-originally-scheduled Millennium, Messiah actually dies. [B]
More Equidistance: the Flood ๐ was 1050 years before Moses writes; 1050 years after the end of Psalm 90's Time Track 2, is MESSIAH's Scheduled Birth.
Theme: countdown to Millennium from just before Israel enters the Land.
Time Track 1: Panorama from First Adam to first David and Last Adam, using 70's to 'stand for' 1050's in real history. Specific embedded years in ellipsis are highlighted below.
Time Track 2: 350 Years from 1400 BC when Moses writes, to Samuel: to predict Judges (Israel's apostasy). Two 1050's are in ellipsis before & after the poem. The rest of the ellipsis heads the chart for this column, as the Mosaic ellipsis sets the style for everyone else.
Act II
| Verse | Syllables = Years |
Details |
|---|---|---|
| 52:13-14 | 42 | Father's Election for Christ. |
| 52:13-14, 53:12 | = 84 | Father's Election for Christ: 'answers' how Psalm 90:1-4, gets 'done'. Also Answers Psalm 90:1-3 palindromically, from Isaiah 53:9-10 or 10-11. 63 of the 70 years First Temple was 'out'; last 7, Second Temple was built. Messiah is rejected 7 years short of the 70-year period ending in 37 AD. |
| 53:3-4 | = 70 | Like Adam's generation who saw Him, the generation of Messiah will despise Him when He comes. |
| 53:7-8 | = 70 | Like Noah's generation, the generation despising Messiah will 'know' God's Wrath. |
| 52:15+ 53:10, 53:11+12 | = 70 each | Equating years as part of the total atonement, the actual Cross payment plus Last David's inheritance, together fulfill Moses' prayer. Really the whole chapter 'answers' Moses' prayer; 90:15's equating prayer is used to create Isaiah 53's metrical style for that reason. |
| 53:9,11 | = 56 | God the Son will take on 'Hands' and die to satisfy atonement and make sons. |
| Total | 462 |
Equidistance: Isaiah 53's 462 syllables + 616 in embedded ellipsis, measure from David's Birth to then-scheduled death of Messiah, at what would have been David's age 1078 (154 sevens = 2 x 77). Add 10 years in ellipsis just before Isaiah 52:13, to tally where Moses left off at 1050 BC. So Isaiah 53's syllables are first divisible by 7, at verse 14 = 42. That is:
- 42 sevens from David's Birth and from 1050 BC; and from David's united kingship, to when Isaiah first counts himself @ Isaiah 53:1; and 42 years from Isaiah 53:1 (Isaiah 1:1 is 42 syllables, so he had also been a prophet 42 years by 712 BC. Scholars think Uzziah was struck with leprosy in his 42nd regnal year.)
- 42 sevens to the end of the Temple's 490 protection (Isaiah picks up where Moses left off, at Temple foundation).
- 42 sevens after b), Temple will be desecrated by Antiochus IV Epiphanes.
- 42 years into the last 50 years of history, Tribulation begins (Millennium is counted as Year 50 in Jubilee).
More Equidistance: 1050 years from Abram's award to David's Kingship in Hebron (3096-2046 from Adam). 1050 years later, Messiah must die successfully. [D]
Even More Equidistance: Isaiah 53:1 = 712 BC, 126 years before Temple falls, = its own shortage @ fall; this shortage becomes the basis for Daniel 9:24's accounting pieces. Refer to the Psalm 90 Meter of Time playlist.
Theme: Countdown to Millennium from First David to Last David.
Time Track 1 & 2, merge: Consecutive First David to Last David (Messiah)'s scheduled death in 'our' 37 AD. Per Mosaic Law the last 57 years follow to harvest the Gentiles and 'repay' the lost 7 sabbatical years, so Isaiah also counts to the Millennium.
Tracked also by key number symbolism.
252 years in ellipsis between 52:15, and 364 years between verse 11 and 12. Total is 154 7's = 2 x 77 7's, including Isaiah's own 462 syllables. Then follow 57 years in ellipsis, to Millennium.
Act III
| Verse | Syllables = Years |
Details |
|---|---|---|
| 9:24 | ||
| and 9:4 and 9:27 | See row for Psalm 90:14-16, below. Daniel 9:24 is 63 syllables, metered to 'balance' between Psalm 90:1-4, and 14-16. Daniel 9:24 answers 90:1-3 by content. Daniel's prayer is also metered. First 48 syllables match Psalm 90:1-2, = 48 years since Temple destroyed; [G] hence 63rd 'seven' is in Daniel 9:27. | |
| 9:24 | Psalm 90:14-16 is 63 syllables, = 84-21. Daniel 9:24 'maps' to it. Notice how Tribulation is left out. Also notice, 21 = # years left of the 70, when Daniel gets this. Notice the equating between the three 6's in Psalm 90:15, and three 6's in Daniel 9:24's Hebrew. | |
| Total | 63 |
Equidistance: Daniel measures from Temple Destruction date and from 1050 BC, ties to Isaiah 53 & Psalm 90 (to update the accounting). So Daniel 9:4-19's syllables are first divisible by 7 at verse 4 = 49. He uses a second dateline in Daniel 9:5, writing 73 sevens after 1050 BC, to pick up where Moses left off in Time Track 2.
Daniel 9:6 starts at David's Hebron Kingship, tracks annually (per-syllable) down to to his own captivity in 607 BC (verse 14's end), when he finishes his summation of Israel's guilt. The total at that point is 476 syllables, with the kingship syllables = 403. [E]
Verses 15-19 are the resulting petition to restore the lost time.
- 49 years from Temple Destruction; and 49 sevens from Rehoboam (when Israel stopped sabbatical years) to Temple Destruction;
- 49 sevens from David's retirement to yet-future end of 1st Temple timegrant in 460: juridical basis for Daniel's petition. F
- 49 sevens after b), is 14 years past the 1000th anniversary of David's death, so is overbudget.
- 49 years into the last 50 of history, Mill begins (counted as year 50 in Jubilee).
- Daniel wraps around both Isaiah and Moses' use of the 1050.
Equidistance: At the start of 70th year after Daniel was made hostage, he prays; 70 after that, begins the official voting period of Psalm 90:16-17. Daniel's 742-syllable meter = Isaiah 53's 616 years left in ellipsis: 742 = 616 + 126; = 490 + 252 + 14; = 490 + 126 + 126; = 49 + 364 + 70 + 7 + 140 + 56 + 56. 616 years from when he prays, is the updated scheduled death of Messiah @ 1000th anniversary of David's death: a 1077th birthday present! Birthdays are e.o.y., so 1077's birthday begins year 1078 = 154 sevens = Isaiah 53.
Theme: Countdown to Millennium from temple rebuilding ๐๏ธ.
Time Track 1: Panorama from Temple to end of history.
Time Track 2: Consequent years from 586 BC to Messiah's Scheduled 37 AD death.
140 years in ellipsis between Daniel 9:24-25; 50 years, between Daniel 9:26-27. For all the ellipsis years, are contained in Daniel's prayer (verses 4-19), so he's praying for them to be restored. Additionally, his prayer's syllables are the sum of the ellipsis years in Isaiah 53, + 126!
Act IV
| Verse | Syllables = Years |
Details |
|---|---|---|
| 3 + 4 + 10a | = 70 | Paul splits the 56 and 14 to show how Church completes to Tribulation. Verse 10 explicitly says so. Paul 'talks back to' Psalm 90 and Daniel 9:24 by the end of Ephesians 1:4, because 84-21 is 63, which he'll repeat in verses 8-9 |
| 4b through 6 | = 91 | Church answers Adamic tumult (@ 133 in Psalm 90) with Sething, 'secreting' appointment of Messiah (first 14 syllables of Psalm 90:8, changing alumenu to alam, play on Isaiah 53:5's nirp'lanu). |
| 7 through 9 | = 91 | |
| 10b through 12 | = 91 | |
| 13 through 14 | = 91 | |
| Total | 434 |
Equidistance: is first divisible by 7, at verse 4 = 56 syllables. That =
- 8 sevens (56 years) from Christ's BIRTH. Conventional Royal Dating Convention (years from a KING).
(Add 3-4 years to get to our AD equivalent, since the Roman Catholic Church cut out 3 years when switching to BC/AD. Paul also measures from circa 753 BC, Roman-style).
-- and --
56 sevens from when Alexander the Great became King (for his Greek audience). Alexander also died at age 33. (Ephesians is patterned after a famous Greek play called 'Ion', by Euripides).
- 56 sevens TO.. see d), below.
- 56 years later, Hadrian would become emperor, and the Jews would petition him to rebuild the Temple. (Not sure Paul means to index that. as a prophecy marker).
- 56 = 57, theme of verses 3-14. The world is still in the Daniel 9:26c time-bubble (originally scheduled to play the last 57 years of history). Paul also marks this by a TOTAL syllable count of 434.
Equidistance: Daniel 9's 434 + 56, to show what's left of the 490. Paul apes Moses' 56-style, makes meter first divisible by 7 @ number PRECEDING, then REMAINING. Paul also uses Isaiah's dating method to create an Anno Domini accounting, also plays back to Varro's dating of Rome's founding at 753 BC. (So probably not, Fabius' Founding date of 748 BC, 107 x 7 pre-Christ).
Theme: Countdown to Tribulation-Millennium from Church's founding, as a recurring TREND.
Time Track 1: Last Adam (Christ) to Tribulation, aka Church's Exodus/Ascension. Patterned after the clauses in Daniel 9:24.
Time Track 2: Consecutive years from 56 AD to formerly-Scheduled Tribulation.
Tracked also by key number symbolism: 70 + 21, # of sabbatical years in a 560. This works just as Moses 70's, to represent 1050's.
Important Notes
A
God is careful to distinguish what 'time' belongs to what group. Abraham's maturation 'cost' 390 years of 'Gentile time', 2046-1656; so to 'repay' it, the Jews have to have 390 years of slavery under 'Gentiles'. The extra 10 years was not God's doing, but Joseph's brothers, hence the prediction that it would be 400 years, in Genesis 15:13. On the flip side, David is born 400 years after the Exodus, in 1040 BC. He is first crowned at Hebron when age 30, which was 430 years after the Exodus, thus tying to the amount of time Israel was in Egypt. David would have been 80 years old when the Temple was built, but he died 3 years earlier, 1 Kings 1:1-2:39 tells that story (Shimei is executed the third year after David's death). So David's age when Temple construction began, would have been the same as Moses' age at the Exodus, 1 Kings 6:1.
B
Messiah was initially scheduled to die 7 years later, which would have been 57 years before the Millennium was supposed to begin, 4200 from Adam minus 57=4143, 'our' 94AD. So, in the Mosaic Law, this intended future was commemorated in two ways: primarily, through Passover plus Pentecost equalling 57 days. (Jews and Christians misread Bible, thinking the count to Pentecost begins just after the FIRST night of Passover; but Numbers 28:26 clearly says to begin counting after the LAST DAY of Passover.) So the last 57 years of history are thus depicted, with 50 to 'harvest the Gentiles'; but that time plays in reverse. For Messiah would come, pay for sins, and then the 50 years to harvest the Gentiles would ensue, had Israel accepted Him when He came. The world would reject the message, thus the 7-year Tribulation reimburses Messiah for his Passion Week, as Passover memorialized in advance (death of the FirstBorn). Double-entendre: Jubilee = last 50 years of history, Isaiah 63, 'return'. Return of Messiah, so return to The Inheritance, so every 50 years under the Mosaic Law, all property rights returned to the original owner-families when Israel conquered the Land. Notice that until the 50th year, it's as if Israel's land were on 'lease' to other tenants. The 'lease' concept depicted the fact that those last 50 years, were 'Gentile time'. So Daniel 9:26 leaves the 50 in ellipsis, as Daniel 9 is focused only on Jewish 'sevens'.
So 63 means an extra '7', warning! So potentially 14 years before Jubilee aka Millennium's ending, if Israel didn't obey the Law on the sabbatical years. Which, she didn't, beginning under Rehoboam: 344 years from 930BC to 586BC = 49 missed sabbatical years=number of syllables in Daniel 9:4's opening dateline, so he prays at the start of the 49th year (=Daniel 9:1). So Moses' use of 63 in Psalm 90:1-3, tallies to his use of 56 as the meter in Psalm 90:16-17. For 63 represents the additional shortfall, since in the Law, the 57 was already memorialized. Its sum, 14, is thus deducted from what should have been a 70-syllable ending, in Psalm 90:16-17, and the verse content wryly prays for the RISING and ESTABLISHING of the 'work of our hands'. Yeah, because they'd be BUILDING at that point, under pressure. Daniel will thus pray the Psalm 90:16-17 prayer, in Daniel 9:4-19, carefully matching his meter to Moses' style. Paul will do the same thing, in Ephesians 1:15-23.
'Church Father' Eusebius slapped 70 onto the Temple's demise, ineptly deeming 70 as missed sabbatical years. Scholars have aped his mistake, ever since. So we don't ask (but should), why does Israel return to the Land BEFORE the 70 years are up? Instead, 'scholars' keep aping 'respectable' Eusebius, causing centuries of confusion that is wrongly blamed on the Bible. Yeah, instead of Bible, the 'scholars' look at each other! Most errors and debates over Bible are due to inept reading of it. Bible always gets blamed instead, while the humans make nice with each other in the name of 'Christian fellowship' or 'love'!
C
Moses' embedded 56's (Psalm 90:7-10, 11-15) are also answered by these same Isa53 verses, plus Isa53:1-2, 5-6. Each group of Isaiah's 56-syllables, 'answers' more than one configuration of Moses' embedded 56's. Isa53:9,11 seem keyed mostly to Psalm 90:11-17 (three 56s, two of which are piggybacked). 53:1-2, 5-6 seem most keyed to Psalm 90:7-10's two piggybacked 56's. Psalm 90:8's 'secrets' is answered by Isa53:5's last clause (sewn up).
Psalm 90:13 is 14 syllables, and is EXACTLY answered by Isaiah 53:7 in the FIRST TWO clauses, which EXACTLY tie to the year 2nd Temple finished construction. Isaiah tracks time annually by clause; each clause benchmarks an important date in Israel's then-future, history. Paul will stress this in Eph1:10, which is the theme of the book, how God uses Church to tie up history.
D
The 42-sevens parallel to 1050 and to David's Birth rejection is wryly stressed. For while Solomon still reigned, God promised Jeroboam that he would become king over Israel (excepting David's tribe, and instead of Rehoboam), if he obeyed God: 1Kings 11:31ff. Jeroboam instead rebelled, so usurpers followed. God then raised up Jehu, promised him until the 4th generation, 2Kings 15:12, which ends with Jeroboam II. After that, usurper kings came again to Samaria. So 754 or 753 BC represents the death of Jeroboam II from Jehu. Scholars have confused this date with the death of Uzziah (contracted nickname of King Azariah to distinguish him from the high priest bearing the same name), Isaiah 6:1. But Isaiah began his ministry earlier than that. So Isaiah's own account wittily begins at both 746BC 42 sevens from David's birth, and 754-3BC, 42 sevens from Jeroboam II's death. The latter, ironically, is the same year as will later be claimed for the foundation of Rome. Paul will play on that fact in Ephesians 1:3-4, thus introducing us to what might become the solution to our BC/AD dating problems.

The most current version of this Footnote E is in http://www.brainout.net/Daniel 9V4-19HebOnePagerPARSED.RTF (or pdf). The older text which follows below is still 90% + the same; this Note will remain until the differences are material. The above RTF, however, charts the meter and also shows its meaning and derivation after verse 14.
Daniel 9's rhetorical pattern is awesome. Each verse runs on two tracks. There is also a third track, reconciling the accumulated syllables in his prayer to both Isaiah 53 and Psalm 90. Let's start with the first two tracks. These are intertwined, like split-screen TV. They are revealed by the way Daniel parses his syllables per verse.
Remember something: when you speak, you are also THINKING. What you say aloud, is only PART of your entire thought BEHIND what you say. And if you aim high in your words, you try to SHAPE what you say to enliven what you say. One of the ways you can do that, is with meter. We all appreciate metered text. And, since here Daniel is talking to God Who Reads Thoughts, Daniel doesn't need to 'inform' God that he's metering his spoken words, to a TIMELINE. It will be 'read', anyway. And for us humans, it can be 'read' also, by the very fact he does meter his words, just as Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53's words are metered. Same pattern, different 'sums'. Since the prayer is so long, we can track what 'sums' he references. So let's do that, now.
Track 1, Meleks March! Well, more like Prancing Kings..
- 9:4, dateline from Temple Destruction in calendar years: 49th, beginning, Daniel prays. Divisible by 7, as a dateline should be. It acts as a prologue, so is not part of Track 1, but is part of Track 3.
- 9:5 is another dateline, this one 73 sevens since 1050 BC, when Israel rejected God as King. Thus Daniel also ropes to Moses' end point, which is important for Track 3. So it too, is not part of Track 1, but constitutes a setup prologue for Track 2.
- 9:6, Daniel next starts a straight meter chronology, God's Gift of human kings -- beginning with David-crowned-at-Hebron, 40 syllables -- and God's gift of the prophets, to whom Israel closed her ears. Track 1 begins here, 1010BC, and runs co-terminously with Track 2. So ~
- 9:7, next, Solomon and his progeny, 69 syllables = years. Theme: how they didn't obey. So Daniel's text reflects that indictment, God's gifted-from-David-through-2Sam7-promised kings, the fathers, the people -- all are shamefaced, guilty of rejecting Him, whether still in-country or scattered for being unfaithful, prior. 9:7's 182 syllables in aggregate, divide by 7. This is important for Track 3.
- It's embarrassing that the syllable count after David (9:6), never again exactly matches any one king's reign in a single verse; pointed snub, they are indistinguished. Kinda like 1Samuel 13 omits Saul's regnal years, until that other Saul tells us how many, Acts 13:20-21. Kinda like the ancient Egyptian practice of lumping a prior or successor king's year onto another. Of course, the Egyptian kings did it to lie, snub, cover up or claim unwarranted credit. God's not lying, but He is pointed. Yeah, like not mentioning the 90's AD Roman church at all, until Revelation 17. Snob City becomes Snub City.
- In other words, Daniel groups years differently, as if unrelated to those kings. That will matter for Track 2.
- Throughout, Daniel uses doctrinally-pregnant meter, like 69, 30, 21, 36. Thus he categorizes significance of each period under reference. It's deliberately NOT palindromic.
- Yet for all the suspenseful meter, he relates an annual, relentless, sad, plodding march of text and therefore years, down to 607BC, when he was taken hostage, end verse 9:14. Here he ends his summation of the Indictment and the Judgment God so often issued under the Plodding Prophets, Track 2. Daniel doesn't even finish the list of prancing, rahabing (=strutting) ma'alayka meleks. Why bother? And it's kinda cute, that 607-586 equals 21, 607-538=69 or 70, especially in light of Israel being 14 short. So chronologically, 403 syllables=years from David at Hebron (1010BC) in 9:6, until 9:14, in 607BC. So Tracks 1 and 2 march together, and stop at 607 BC.
- Track 3, however, is the juridical backdrop, and it runs throughout his prayer. 476 years march from 9:4, when Daniel begins the prayer: that's 14 short of her 490 allotment, when Israel used up her Time Bank. The Track 3 accounting is indexed by syllable totals in Psalm 90, and mainly in Isaiah 53, since the juridical basis for Daniel's prayer is the timeline of Isaiah 53, which Isaiah uses underneath his words. For Isaiah was also telling Israel her history to culminate in Messiah, as a warning that she would be negative. In other words, Isaiah 53 is indeed a prophecy of Messiah; but the reason He dies, is also due to our rejecting Him when He comes; God uses our rejection to generate the occasion for Him paying for our sins. God didn't make the unfair occasion; we did. So our rejection has a past, a prologue, a process. So the Chapter also functions to warn Israel that what she'll do when He comes, is what she has always done, in any generation. (Daniel will key off this dual style of reporting right away, beginning in Daniel 9:5.)
- Isaiah metered each clause of Chapter 53, therefore, into timeline benchmarks; each clause 'maps' to Israel's then-future history, counting down to Messiah's death and victory. Therefore Daniel apes and maps to Isaiah, to show Israel's actual history occurred just as God had Isaiah predict, culminating in his capture and his prayer for her restoration. For God had Isaiah promise that, too. The promise thus becomes the legal basis for Daniel's prayer, shown by his pointed indexing to Isaiah 53 key syllables.
Track 2, PROPHETS PLOD
- Daniel 9:6, starts 1010 BC, 40 years=syllables, Nathan and Gad, during David's reign; for the text of Daniel 9:6 says God sent them but Israel didn't listen.
- Daniel 9:7, starts 970 BC, 69 syllables; by the end, his prayer totals 182 syllables and is divisible by 7. Text says To God, Righteousness but to us shame even to this day , wherever we are, near or far (in geography or time, from back then until when Daniel prays), because we've been unfaithful to You. Yeah, unnamed prophets talked to Jeroboam and then Jehu, etc. for the next 69 years, taking us down to circa 901BC. Notice 69 itself is also divisible by 7, to show The Vote Is Short (of 70); yeah, shorthand for mene mene tekel upharsin. Some kings -- shorthand for Israel as a whole -- some kings during that time walked with God, but only for awhile. Yeah, and when you read Kings and Chronicles, you find out who they were; that even from Solomon onward, a creeping paganism was sponsored. It's rather telling, that 2Kings 23's whole chapter is a laundry list of what Josiah cleaned up, like verse 13's "the high places.. which Solomon the king of Israel had built for .. Chemosh". You had to burn up your kids for that 'god'; so look how far Solomon fell from his 1Kings 9 fealty. Daniel 9:7 'maps' to Psalm 90:7 and Isaiah 53:2's aggregate syllable counts of 133 (=182-49), to stress Juridical Cause for Temple downfall. In Track 3, we'll see how.
- Daniel 9:8, starts 901BC, 30 syllables. Text says God, to us shame: to our ruling kings, our fathers who (all) sinned against You. So now we're smack dab in Asa's 11th year. So let's peek at 2 Chroniclesicles 14-15, which Jeremiah just wrote. Wow. Daniel sure knew his Bible. Notice 2 Chronicles 14's first few verses, and then compare to 2 Chronicles 15:19. No wonder Daniel 9:8 uses the savior number, 30 syllables! So Azariah son of Oded was the prophet, and Asa listened to him; so 30 years of prosperity out of 35.
- Daniel 9:9, starts 871BC, 21 syllables. The verse is divisible by seven, but not in aggregate, showing this too was a special time. Text says To God, Compassion and Rescue; for we have rebelled. So watch how that theme is illustrated by the history Daniel tracks via his meter. For here, the prosperity tale ending verse 8, sours; now Asa turns to Ben-Hadad instead of to God, for security. So he's also turned away from Azariah son of Oded, 2 Chronicles16. So God then sent Hanani to warn him, 2 Chronicles16:7ff. So because Asa walked away from the Lord, he became diseased in his feet, and is again lumped with the sad march of past kings, again undistinguishable, just another statistic. But Chronicles of the Prophets, plodded on for 21 syllables=years ending Daniel 9:9, at 850BC. This separates out, Jehoshaphat's aka God Governs rule for that time; he'd begun ruling for his dad three years prior, no doubt due to his dad's foot disease, and started well. So we're not surprised that Daniel uses 21 syllables, the temple rebuilding ๐๏ธ number so prominent in Psalm 90's meter. 2 Chronicles 17 tells Jehoshephat's story. Again, good teachers and prophets are popular -- we know that because they are named -- 2 Chronicles17:7ff. Lots of names, in fact. Lots of teaching, too. Yeah, and one of those named prophets was sent to warn Jehoshephat, 2 Chronicles 18, a guy named Micaiah. Yeah, and Jehoshephat wasn't governed by God on that day, but by ahab of Ahab. But the Prophets, plod on. So Hanani was on hand to revive Jehoshephat when he returned from his ahab folly, 2 Chronicles19; Ahab, loving flattery, died that day. So, a respite: prophets enjoy name recognition and are popular in Judah through 2 Chronicles 20:26, Battle of Berachah aka Valley of Jehoshephat, where God Alone, fought. Thus verse 9:9 closes with the end of his reign -- well, two years prior. Thus ended the good years. Almost to the finish line of his reign. Almost.
- Daniel 9:10, starts 850BC, 36 syllables. Text says We didn't listen to the Voice of the Lord Our God, to walk in His Commandments; which He gave to us by the hand of His Prophets. Yeah, playing on Psalm 90:17's closing prayer with a sarcastic look what we DID with Your hired hands! So watch this historical tie: JehoNOLONGERshephat succumbed to ally with Israel again, 2 Chronicles20:34. Whoops. So Daniel 9:10 allies Jehoshephat's ending syllables with the march of the Samarian kings, indistinguishable again. But God did send yet another Plodding Prophet, this one named Eliezer, 2 Chronicles20:35. Then Jehoshephat was governed by God to die. Son Jehoram acted like a ram and killed all his brothers, 2 Chronicles21:4; he was in love with Samarian king Ahab's daughter, and married her. No listening, no walking in Torah, says Daniel 9:10. Yeah. 36 plodding syllables=years. God plodded out the naviim, here Elijah, 2 Chronicles 21:12. So these 36 years were mostly Elijah's. And Jehoiada's, the high priest. But when the latter died, well.. even King Joash -- who started out so well -- reverted; but as 2 Chronicles 24:19 says, God kept up the Plodding Prophets. As Daniel 9:10 says, so 2 Chron24:19 ends: 'they would not listen'. So much NOT, they stoned Zechariah, 2 Chronicles24:20, right there in the Temple! So then Joash who ordered it (2 Chronicles24:21), was himself murdered (verse 25). Zechariah was Jehoaida's son; the latter reared Joash (2 Chronicles 24:1-4).
- Daniel 9:11, starts 814BC, 58 syllables. Text says All Israel hebrewed away from Your Law; without exception, they turned away from hearing Your Voice. Oh, how apt: still in Joash's time after he'd turned away, and then 18 years later hish! Psalm 90:6-7: having yatzyitz'd like morning grass he dies bahal, hema'd at God and thus in God's 'anger'. Son Amaziah walks differently, so God keeps Marching Out Prophets, 2 Chronicles 25:7, and hothead Amaziah listened briefly; then stopped, so God Marched out an unnamed prophet -- yeah, because they were all persona non grata again -- 2 Chronicles 25:15, who of course was rejected; Israel aka Samaria thus wars against Judah, even robs God's Temple, 2 Chronicles 25:23, circa 782BC; Amaziah was a pariah after that, finally was murdered; but they gave him a nice burial, 2 Chronicles 25:25. That says much for hypocrisy. Jeremiah wrote Chronicles. Daniel was contemporary with him and Ezekiel. Daniel 9:11 thus says, they hebrewed beyond Torah, didn't listen to Your Voice, -- so pregnantly ends 58 syllables=years at 756BC, near the end of Azaraiah aka Uzziah's reign; when Isa52:13 and 1:1 say by meter, that Isaiah had begun to prophesy. Yeah, tying back to 1050 BC where Moses left off, same ol' same ol' rejection, 42 sevens in Isaiah, also tying back to Moses in the same place, l moedth, where Isaiah 53 begins. Track 3 will cover this fact in more detail.
- Daniel 9:12, starts 756BC, 58 syllables; by the end, his prayer totals 385 syllables and is divisible by 7. Text says Thus stands what God said to our rulers, that He would bring all this huge evil upon us; for under heaven, nothing has happened like what happened to Jerusalem. God raises Isaiah, probably two years later, what a time. Leprosy time. Qum time. Shophetaynu shephatunu time: governing, governed. Judging, judged. Mene mene tekel upharsin coming up, raah gadolah begins. Another 58 syllables=years, now running for most of Isaiah's ministry, ending at 698BC when Manasseh is probably born. The Word Stands up and judges, His Word stands and executes, and nothing under heaven has ever happened as bad as what happened to Jerusalem. Daniel, of course, means Temple and City destruction under Nebuchadnezzar in 586, but Temple destruction is due to the apostacy during Isaiah's ministry, just as Isaiah 53 foretold, syllable by year, tracking Time from his time down to Messiah's Scheduled Death. Daniel 9:12 'maps' to Psalm 90:10's strutting, writhing, trouble clause, and to Isaiah 53:4's Stricken By God: each Chapter's aggregate syllables sum there at 203. So Daniel maps to them at his own syllable 385 (-182=203), to stress Juridical Cause for Temple downfall. For the March of the Annual Syllables in Isaiah 53:4, ends at 586BC. In Track 3, we'll see more.
So what was that time? Time when Samaria would go down under Assyria, and Judah was almost enslaved, too. Time which began with a young Azariah and thus with promise, 36 syllables=years prior, during the first 22 syllables of Daniel 9:11, ending at its beqol -- but not yet eka, when daddy Amaziah died. 2 Chronicles 26 tells his son Azariah aka Uzziah's story. 16, young, interested in God. The year is 792, co-regnal with daddy. For Azariah it's eka, alright; but as 2 Chronicles26 explains, the prosperity got to him by the time he was age 58, when he became fat-headed enough to offer in Temple, as if a priest. Namesake Azariah who really WAS the priest, stopped him, but God did so more: with leprosy. That year is 750; so our Daniel 9:12 syllable pointer stops at the sixth syllable, wa yaqem et-d'vro (or d'vrai) -- how apt, for it stands on his forehead, whitening fast -- son Jotham must now take over. Dad Uzziah broke out into isolation. If the scholars have rightly dated Jotham's takeover year (Bible doesn't say), 10 years later God will tell Azariah's soul, shuvu! To the tune, Daniel wryly notes here in 9:12, asher dibber aleynu al shophat -- no second eynu, since Uzziah is 3rd person singular, dying at that 16th syllable-year.
42 years remain in the verse-period, after he dies. 42 forward, 42 aft in God's Ship of Spiritual State. So Jotham is still ruling for the next 6 of those remaining 42. So that's where Daniel 9:12 says who ruled us to bring to us the great evil, Jotham was more faithful to God, was not like the people (2 Chron 27:2). He maybe dies at age 42 (but see 2Kings 15:30, which implies that Jotham ruled longer, so maybe the 16 years is measured from a different starting or ending point). So now it's 734 or 735BC. The next 16 of the remaining 36 syllables=years, see Ahaz come to power. Now this was a really bad guy: see both 2 Chronicles 28 and the 2Kings 16 passages. He goes for the baals, allies with Assyria against Aram, robs the Temple to bribe Assyria, and turned the Temple into an Assyrian-god house, so exciting Assyria that the latter's king came to the Temple to make an offering (2Kings 16:13). And milquetoast Urijah the priest, obeyed! Ahaz defiled Solomon's laver and sea (verse 17), all to please Assyria. That tells you much: tallies to what Daniel said during that syllable-segment for Ahaz, nothing like this has ever happened.. No kidding! Talk about great evil! Samaria goes down, and Judah is in trouble. So making nice with Assyria came at the expense of the Temple, finally closing it down. Yeah, great evil. And it didn't help him, either, 2 Chronicles28:19-24. Yeah, nothing like that ever happened before!
(Scholars claim Samaria was taken 722BC, but the Bible seems to say it happened AGAIN in 712. That's when Isaiah 53:1 begins, too. There is a 10-year confusion relating to Samaria's kings; I suspect there are TWO takeover stories being told by Bible, with Hoshea being restored to power by Assyria after the first takeover. But I need to research that more. For the moment, here a 712BC second takeover is used as the chronology. Compare 2Kings 18:9-10 with prior verses on Hoshea. Shalmaneser is a TITLE, so might reference Sargon, too. Kings do change their names).
So now it's 718BC. Hezekiah comes to power. 20 syllables remain in Daniel 9:12: ne'esta tahat shamayim k'asher ne'esta b'Yerusalem. Really interesting, since 2Kings 18:5 uses similar language no king of Judah after him nor before him was like him (in fealty). Ironic, then, that Isaiah 39 ends: because you showed your riches to the Kings of Babylon, Jerusalem will go down.
- Here, though, God-is-My-Strength had just started, and was busy undoing Ahaz' desecrations. Hezekiah reopens the Temple as soon as his dad dies, 2 Chron 29:2-3. It's 715BC. Everything starts out well and the people are with him in turning back to the Lord. Indeed, there had never been anything like this since David, either, 2 Chronicles30:25. After that, a concerted effort was made to get rid of paganism, and a wholehearted return to the Law.
- By year 6 Samaria is taken, 2Kings 18:10; that's 712BC, where Isaiah 53:1 begins. (Scholars date his reign three years later, starting 715BC. I don't think that's right; looks like he co-reigned with his dad between 718-715BC. Isaiah tallies to Manasseh if I use a 718BC date, which also tallies to the Kings passage just cited. So will proof the material more, to establish if there was a scholar error. It will become clear, if I go back far enough in the chronology of Scripture. Can't say something is wrong until and unless you can prove HOW it went wrong).
- Yet 8 years later, now start of year 14 and 704BC, Hezekiah also robs the Temple and wrecks the very doors he repaired, to buy off Sennacharib, 2Kings 18:13-16.
- That only prompted more greed by Senna baby. Or, more likely, Senna baby came to pick it up but before he got there, Hezekiah changed his mind and rebelled, having listened to Isaiah. (The latter interpretation makes more sense, as there's neither censure nor a companion passage in 2 Chronicles32 saying Hezekiah actually finished giving the money away. 2Kings 18:17 is an invasion by an enraged Sennacharib.) Here it's interesting to note that the same language Hezekiah uses in 2 Chronicles32:7 about the Arm of the Lord. Isaiah's 53:1, runs during Hezekiah (first 3 clauses) and uses the same term. I made a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR8lVpPosEk
- So Isaiah 36, as well as 2 Chronicles 32 and 2Kings 18:17 et seq. unfold. The year? 704BC, not 701. For God gave a sign, 2Kings 19:29 -- two sabbatical years, typical for the 49th and 50th years Israel was supposed to observe. In the third year, she would be able to plant again. This time, it looks like the occupying army made it impossible or imprudent to plant crops (i.e., they have to stop up the water, 2 Chronicles32:2-4); God flat promises they won't have to: He'll root them upward and downward (ibid). God had also promised Sennacharib would leave off the siege, 2Kings 19:28.
- So count: 704, year 1, Sennacharib returns home or at least to Lachish, 2 Chronicles 32:7. Stalemate.
- Then year 2, 703BC then ~
- 702 Israel plants, and in ~
- 701, Sennacharib returns to besiege Jerusalem but limps home a failure, his entire army wiped out, Isa37:36-8.. Don't expect Assyrian records for the period to admit this. In fact, their records claim he was victorious. Liar, liar pants on fire.
- So as Isaiah 53:1's 10th through 12th syllables read, Zeroa -- Arm. Of the Lord. The King over the king, delivers on His Promise to send Sennacharib packing. Twice, really, having already warned him back in 704. So, this time he goes Home Alone. And his sons will eventually kill him for the disgrace, with Esarhaddon taking vengeance on them and taking the kingdom for himself, end Isaiah 37, 2Kings 19:35-37.
- Year 17 starts, 701 BC. Such a high means a low must follow. And it does. Hezekiah becomes big-headed. So by year end, for his 18th anniversary God announces he's gonna die, get your house in order, boy. Apparently he was then childless (see his prayer in Isaiah 38:9-20). He prays to God to be healed, 2 Kings 20, Isaiah 38, 2 Chronicles32:24. God grants him 15 more years. So his total time ruling will be 32 years, three of which were under his dad Ahaz, thus 2Kings 18 tallies.
- Year 18, 700BC is thus marked by the Babylonian visit and dire warning, Isaiah 39. Of course, that's a year the Merodach Baladan had briefly thrown off Assyria for the second time.
- Year 20, 698BC is when Manasseh is born, and is made king at birth, co-ruling with his dad. Here Daniel 9:12 ends. Here we see why. Parallel in Isaiah 53:1 is niglata, revealed? Yeah, double-entendre, as usual. For due to Manasseh, God will reveal that nothing will stop the Temple and the City from going down. Repeating: Daniel 9:12 'maps' to Psalm 90:10's strutting, writhing, trouble clause, and to Isaiah 53:4's Stricken By God: each Chapter's aggregate syllables sum there at 203. So Daniel maps to them at his own syllable 385 which ends verse 12 (-182=203), to stress Juridical Cause for Temple downfall. For the March of the Annual Syllables in Isaiah 53:4, ends at 586BC. Isaiah 53:1 through 12 totals 385 syllables, so Daniel is also referencing that whole section. In Track 3, we'll see more.
- Daniel 9:13, starts 698BC, 49 syllables; by the end, his prayer totals 434 syllables and is divisible by 7. Text says Just as written in the Law of Moses all this evil has come to us; yet we did not become griefstricken before the Lord Our God, to turn from our sins and wisen up in His Truth. That sure characterizes Manasseh, who becomes king on his own twelve syllables into this verse, when Hezekiah dies (686BC): the 13th syllable begins Hebrew ra'ah =evil, and characterizes his accession. So 37 syllables remain in the verse. The first twelve years of his life he was king, but under his dad. So he dies at age 55, in 642BC..
- How does a kid become so evil so early? The boy quickly got to work when his dad died, 12 years into the verse. Or, his regents did, but the kid really bought into delightful practices like building altars to gods who bid you burn your kids, right inside the Temple. He burned some of his own kids, too. You can read all about it in 2Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33.
- Nothing in Isaiah shows Isaiah talked to him. But Isaiah's meter sure covers him, dating his sole reign beginning in the fourth clause of Isaiah 53:1 with wa ka shoresh, m'eretz tziyyah. Yeah, Parched Promised Land. Christ grows up despite it; Manasseh will root down IN it.
- But God did plod out the prophets, now unnamed, 2 Chronicles 33:10. Again, the leader represents the people, so if he's bad, that means they are bad, too.
- So we're not surprised to read that the syllables spanning his sole reign in Isaiah 53:2, start at shoresh, and end at Isaiah 53:3's w'idua -- yeah, when he dies, he knows both holi and God! So when Daniel writes lo hilinu in Daniel 9:13, it's rather poignant. Manasseh didn't become griefstricken and seek God, so he gets the grief of being put in chains, which Isaiah covers at the beginning of Isaiah 53:3, niv'zeh wa hadal ishim -- so Manasseh is forsaken, too; THEN he learned to hamad the Lord when captured by the king of Assyria at age 41; he repents, 2 Chron 33:11-13, is restored to power and removes the idols from the Temple (2 Chronicles 33:15-16).
- So it looks like the beginning of Isaiah 53:3 was Manasseh's capture period. If so, then the corresponding syllables in Daniel would end his reign in 9:14, at wa yishqod YehWah al -- ironically that's what Manasseh was doing, too, for he got rid of the idols, and he goes up to God at the end. His Assyrian capture syllables in Daniel 9:13 would be l'has'kil b'emeteka -- which he did, when captured. As 2 Chronicles 3:13 says, then Manasseh knew that the Lord, God!
This just can't be a coincidence, how the syllables match the history. We all know Scripture is used this way, in both OT and NT. Keywords and parallel ideas, events. The Word is ALIVE, so it keeps on repeating in our lives. The Word is TRUTH, so its principles keep on playing in our lives. That's not a surprise. What's news, is the notion it would be indexed by syllable count, too. When the Lord in the Gospels applies Jonah's 3 days in the whale to Himself in Hades -- the actual Jonah passage is about Jonah and his discipline for sinning. But the activity can be analogous in many ways -- here positive, Christ Victorious. And you'll notice, it's a number tie. So why, especially since we are to identify with Christ and live like Him, wouldn't the Word that directly applies to Him, also apply to us in many other ways? We know it does, we invoke it often. Okay, then: this meter tagging is just another way to reference how the Word universally applies, and from Daniel we see how the referencing, works. They didn't have search engines or the Dewey Decimal system. They did have to count syllables. So they could and obviously did, index and reference Scripture by means of syllable counts. Doctrinally-pregnant, syllable counts.
This indexing is a valuable tool for hermeneutics and textual criticism. We can better know what the author means and how to interpret a passage -- especially the political football of Daniel 9 -- if we know the meter. We can also better know if we've got all the right real words from God, if we know the meter. Surely Isaiah 53's awesome balancing, and to real future history we can check -- is supernatural, and yes Virginia, we have all his words, and there is only ONE 'Isaiah', thank you. So the centuries' long debate over whether the Masoretic text is complete for Isaiah 53, has a YES answer we can prove. Moreover, we can prove only one guy wrote the whole book, since the metering is easily testable for uniformity and fit.
Amazing how some of the (deservedly!) most-respected Hebrew scholars of the 19th and 20th century, caved into the kant that the book of Isaiah was written by more than one person, because excuse me, he uses different styles of rhetoric? Do YOU only talk in one style? No: and I'll bet you mix slang with technical words, shift in and out of formal speech, even within one measly sentence! THAT IS NORMAL HUMAN EXPRESSION, every Bible writer uses it as well! So too, the meter proves it's one guy, since meter like speech, is like a fingerprint, when you have enough of it; so I'm sorry, the fact he's so accurate IN ADVANCE, is due to GOD empowering him. Pity our need to paper over scholar doubts, lack of faith, and hence errors, won't transcend to respecting the Word of God, more: we're all manassehs, niv'zeh-ing the Word of God to fit in with people?! End Commercial Message.
- So our boy Manasseh lived another 15 years after he repented, just like his daddy. So Daniel 9:13 ends when Manasseh is 49 (nearly 50), but he'll live until he's 55 (nearly 56). Manasseh Voted, but was short. Voted, but his vote results in God announcing The Judgment, 2Kings 21:11-15. Daniel references it, in Daniel 9:15.
- Daniel 9:13 also 'maps' to Isaiah 53:6's hiphgi(a), =hit: Isaiah 53's aggregate syllables sum there at 252. That value is also equal to the number of years in ellipsis between Isaiah 52:15 and 53:1 -- Isaiah's total syllable count is 1078 including ellipsis, as his theme is First David to Last David, and the Last David is scheduled to die on the 1000th anniversary of David's death. (The other ellipsis is between Isaiah53:10 and 11, 364 years, representing the time the Temple was standing. So the sum is 1078, not 1077, because you BEGIN your 1078th year when you celebrate your 1077th birthday.) In the Isaiah 53, syllable 252 (excluding ellipsis) also equals the year Daniel prays, very early in 538 BC. So ~
- Daniel maps to Isaiah 53:6 at his own syllable 434 which ends verse 13 (203 + 49), to stress Juridical Cause for Temple Rescue. God will thus tell Daniel in 9:25, that "62 sevens" will be granted (= 434). So ~
- God also maps to Isaiah 53:4 in His Reply: for the March of the Annual Syllables in Isaiah 53:4, ends at 586BC; notice that 49 years after that, is the 'seven sevens', in Daniel 9:25, though beginning at a different point in time, 446BC.
- So God responds using Daniel's own meter, reimbursing it. Aha, now we know why those English numbers, are in the text! In Track 3, we'll see this again; yet for the moment, let's peek at a further sampling of how Daniel tags his meter to Manasseh via Isaiah 53, with more awesome numeric irony:
- In Isaiah 53:1-2, there are 70 syllables from 53:1 to the end of Manasseh's time, which ends at w'idua, in Isaiah 53:3.
- So Manasseh's portion is 55 (nearly 56), corresponding to his age at death, and of course the 14 short is what happens as a result of his reign, 2Kings 21:11-15.
- The next two syllables in Isaiah 53:3 after w'idua are holi, and stand for Amon's reign. After that, follow 31 syllables for Josiah, beginning at Isaiah 53:3's uk'm'seter.
- Notice by the end of Isa53:3, it's the END of the 18th year of Josiah's reign, when he too says Isaiah 53:4's Acken! and institutes one of the best Passover celebrations, ever (2 Chronicles35:18). (Jewish and to some extent Babylonian and Persian kings celebrated their anniversaries each Nisan, no matter when they came to power during the initial year. Regnal years are accounted per Nisan, not by the actual takeover. So Amon must have died early in the year. Passover is in Nisan, and begins a year. But it was the Josiah's 18th year for a long time BEFORE this celebration. So it might have been his real 18th year in elapsed time, and then 18th regnal year measured by Nisan. For there are 19 elapsed years, rounded. Moreoever, as 2 Chronicles 34 and 35 reveal, the Temple etc. was first cleaned up, repaired, etc. That took time. Also bear in mind the Bible stresses ironies and paradoxes. So if it's his official 18th year at what should be the 19th in elapsed time, that's witty.)
- Of course, Josiah gets fatheaded, too; he dies in battle, syllable u makhov in Isaiah 53:4 (no eynu, how clever). So after him, 23 more years=syllables, in Isaiah 53:4.
- 56 syllables total, after Manasseh (2+18+13+23). Does '56' ring a bell? That takes you to the end of Isa53:4, 126 years after Isaiah dates 53:1, down to 586BC; so Temple goes down, syllable 203 in Isaiah 53. Daniel tagged to it also, back in Daniel 9:12, as we saw.
- The actual denouement with Nebuchadnezzar began 21 years prior to the Temple's demise. 56-21=35. There were three deportations: first in 607BC, next in 597BC, and finally 586 ended the nation. Isaiah future-memorialized these. The 607 takeover is Isaiah 53:4's u makhovenu s'balam (end is 604); the 597BC deportation, is wa anachnu hashavnuhu (rounded); that's when Jeconiah is taken. Ezekiel began as a prophet to those in deportation in 592; so Isaiah devotes a pregnant clause to summarize Ezekiel's message: Nagua! Mukeh! Ezekiel will measure from this year, see Ezekiel 1:1-5. Isaiah memorializes Temple Down by Elohim (u)munneh! which ends verse 4.
- So Daniel uses 49 syllables here in Daniel 9:13, to highlight multiple equidistances, like Isaiah did in Isaiah 53:
- 49 years after Manasseh was taken prisoner, Daniel is taken prisoner (656 versus 607).
- 56 years after Jeconiah is taken, Daniel prays.
- 56 years after the too-short vote of Manasseh who was nearly 56 when he died, Temple goes down.
- So Daniel must pray at the beginning of the 49th year after it went down,
- hence in the 49th anniversary of Manasseh's imprisonment, and partly due to Manasseh the extra 7 can't be reimbursed.
- Daniel himself at this point has been captive for 69 years , and is at the beginning of his own 70th year of captivity.
- There are 21 years left on the 70-year-Temple-Down Judgment.
- Same as the number of years it will take to rebuild;
- same as the number of years it took to bring the Temple down (607-586).
- Daniel 9:14 starts 649BC, 42 syllables; by the end, his prayer totals 476 syllables and is divisible by 7; it ends in 607BC when Daniel is taken hostage. Text says The Lord was diligent to execute the evil; it came upon us; for the Lord Our God is Righteous to do everything He does; for we did not hear, His Voice. Manasseh's last six years are in view for the first six syllables, as noted above. Then two syllables for Amon -- holi in Isaiah 53:3, ha ra' in Daniel 9:14 -- and now to Josiah. So, Josiah aaahhhing, sees the evil of his dad and grandad: now, he's in a position to do something about it. Notice the soundplay between ra'ah, evil, and ra'ah, to see. 34 syllables remain in the verse; the next 31, belong to Josiah. Obviously, since he was only 8 years old upon sole accession (2Kings 22:1), he didn't have any real authority, but instead regents. You find his story, in 2Kings 22-23, 2 Chronicles34-35, early part of Jeremiah (before Chapter 17). Jeremiah wrote Chronicles. The purpose was to show from Israel's history, why she was disciplined. As we've seen, Daniel is constantly weaving his meter around Israel's history, drawing on Chronicles and on Isaiah's prophecy about that history.
- By the time Josiah was 16, he was interested in God, 2 Chronicles34:3. By the time he was 20, he started a campaign to wipe out paganism, ibid. That's where Jeremiah comes in, who was a prophet since Josiah's thirteenth year (Jer1:1). What a story. Jeremiah's own dad was the high priest, Hilkiah, and apparently father and son were not on good terms.
- For in Josiah's 18th year (he's now 26 years old), Hilkiah FINDS THE BIBLE in the Temple, 2Kings 22:8, 2 Chronicles34:13-15 -- wow, didn't Hilkiah know it was there? Or is he playing politics? For it was Jeremiah his own son, who found the Words, Jeremiah 15:16. Instead of going to his obviously-appointed son to get the Word as Josiah had ordered (2Kings 22:13), he goes to a wardrobe lady, Hulda (verse 14)! Understand, Jeremiah had already been prophesying for five years (see Jer 1:1). So when God says via Hulda to Josiah that he himself will not see the evil God has promised -- through Jeremiah, this "evil" promise had already been REPEATED for five years, not to mention in Isaiah! Oh and now Hilkiah claims to find the Bible? Okay: they were as shifty back then, as we in Christendom, today. Disgusting.
- Note well 2 Kings 23, what Josiah had to do, to clean up the Land.
- Note even more, 2 Kings 23:26, which again expressly links Temple destruction to Manasseh's time. Now you know why Daniel's doing it, too.
- Josiah gets fat-headed, in the end. Back in 609BC, while Pharaoh Neco is on his way to Carchemish to fight with Nebuchadnezzar -- for Assyria's stronghold was there -- Josiah wanted to fight Neco due to his alliance with Assyria, 2 Chronicles 35:20ff. As you'll see if you read the passage, Neco tried to dissuade Josiah from warring, but Josiah wouldn't listen. So, Josiah is slain. Any later progress by Neco against Nebuchadnezzar that year, is not recorded in Bible, but Neco was still alive, so presumably he went back to Egypt at some point before what we moderns call 'the' Battle of Carchemish.
- So when Josiah died, his sons continued to oppose Egypt, and the latter finally took hostages (the king), money, 2 Chronicles 36 and 2Kings 23:31ff.
- So naturally Nebuchadnezzar, newly king under his dad, would go south on reconnaissance to create vassals as buffer states, to impede Egypt's ability to make war, invade, lend aid to Assyria. On his way down he noticed Jerusalem and took hostages, along with some of the Temple treasures. Daniel was part of this group. The initial plan was to insure fealty, since Israel was along the invasion route. That accounts for Nebuchadnezzar's leniency: he really wanted a good buffer, vassal state. However, from that time forward Israel's kings waffled in their relationship, alternately trying to get Egypt's help. So that ended Nebuchadnezzar's patience, in three successive campaigns (597, 592, and finally 588-586).
- Daniel cuts out most of this post-Josiah history, ending Daniel 9:14 to come full circle at 607BC, when he himself was deported to Babylon. So after Josiah, only three syllables=years are counted (rounding problem), to finish stating the case. These last three syllables (really two plus piggyback) are pithy: b'qolo, "to His Voice." Ouch.
Track 3, Righteousness Runs and Rules
Daniel grew up with the Law and its counting rules of cubits, holidays, sabbaths, syllables and kings; he was a teenager when taken hostage by Nebuchadnezzar. Scripture was as natural to him as breathing; including, its syllable counts. So in his prayer, Daniel meters what he says aloud, to the YEARS in history which brought him to where he is, praying for the Temple's Restoration. All along, he's been building his arguments as a good diplomat should, on precedence and God's TIME Promises -- hence the meter -- especially, in Isaiah 53. All along, he's been reconciling to God's Doctrine of Time, since Israel's very existence was a Time Promise to Abraham, who matured 54 years early. That time is 'owed' back to the Gentiles from whom he 'borrowed' time, in order to save Time. So now it's time to look at how Daniel's reconciled these Time Books, in order to understand the last half of his prayer, which runs from verse 15 to 19. For all that went before, is precedence for his petition in those verses. For he's petitioning the King of Kings, and it's necessary to justify the petition along the legal lines the King Himself had set forth, from Adam forward; from Abraham, forward. From the Exodus, forward. So let's see how Daniel's Reconciled Time, in those same verses 4-14.
- Daniel tracks Isaiah 53 and Psalm 90, tying at specific syllables; for both chapters were annual metered chronologies, too. The chronologies are prophetic, but primarily instructive; so that Israel (and by extrapolation, Church) -- would be encouraged to keep going. Paul will use this same metering method, so it's important to understand the structure in Daniel. For Daniel 9 demonstrates he GOT the instruction, and now uses it to petition God for Temple Restoration. Thus we can become instructed in how to read what he read, know what he knew, pray as he prayed. For Paul plays 'Daniel' in Ephesians 1:3-14, INSTRUCTING US TO DO THE SAME. And then Paul prays, modelled after Daniel, in Ephesians 1:15-23. So how did Daniel 'read' Isaiah 53 and Psalm 90?
- First stop, the panoramic meaning of Psalm 90: TIME IS A LOAN. It must be justified by someone supermaturing, at least one person, and at least every 490 and 1000 years, else the world ends. Additionally, believers the world over must vote to know God better during a 70-year period between the 490's. Else, the world ends. This was the burden of all believers since Adam's fall, and it was upgraded in Abraham, to ONLY Abraham's progeny. Of course, you became a 'son of Abraham' by doing what Abraham did, John 8:39. What did Abraham do? Genesis 15:6, he BELIEVED. So even were you a gentile 'stone', you'd become a son of Abraham if you did what he did, Luke 3:8, Matt3:9. It wasn't genetics, as Paul explains in Romans 4 and 9. Moreover, someone anywhere in the world who believed would be led to go where Abraham was, to Get The Instruction. That's why Abraham's Land Promise was the nexus of three continents. Made it easier for anyone, even travelling from America, to get there. People travelled a lot in the ancient world; it was cleaner, more economical and safer than staying put. Nomadic life was normal. So God would grant you TIME, if you wanted to learn Him; and of course that meant material benefits as well, so you could use the Time. After all, you'd need to have food, shelter, clothing in order to have enough health and therefore time, to study Him. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.. every spiritual blessing in the heavens...
- So Daniel first reconciles to Psalm 90 by citing his own time location, Daniel 9:4, 49 years after Temple Destruction. That's what Moses did in Psalm 90:1-3, and 1-4 (as shown in the charts). So Daniel adopts the same convention. He also ties back to Psalm 90:5-7, and Psalm 90:10-11, to 'register' his 'vote'. Those passages in Psalm 90 each total 49 syllables, and their content referred to the 70-year believer voting periods per 1050 for the Adamic and then Noahic 1050's. So Daniel acknowledges PRECEDENCE for the time of his own vote. Temple Down means the world is in as dire a condition, as at the Flood. So by using 49 syllables pegged to Psalm 90 verses about the Flood, Daniel acknowledges that fact.
- Daniel next reconciles to Psalm 90's end in Daniel 9:5, where the aggregate total of his syllables is 73, representing 73 sevens: the elapsed time from 1050 BC when Israel rejected God as King, to when Daniel prays. Thus Daniel acknowledges the warning at the end of Psalm 90, and this 'dateline' function serves to link what he says in his prayer, back to that warning, which of course Israel had not heeded. Again, precedence: she didn't heed back in 1050, but God graciously granted her human kings. So David became the promised King, and based on that promise the Temple=Messiah would come to exist. It is now Down, but through Moses and Isaiah, the Son and King was still Promised To Arrive: all he had to do, was VOTE. So in tying back to that Promise, Daniel in effect, invokes it.
- Daniel next reconciles to Psalm 90:7, and to Isaiah 52:13 through 53:2. Each passage has an aggregate syllable count of 133 at those junctures. Paul will do the same thing, in Ephesians. Why? 133 is the number of sevens in a 1050 minus the 120-year 'flood' voting period of Genesis 6, which set a precedence for subsequent voting. So the last 120 years of any 490 or 560, is a Vote On Getting The Word. For that's how God used it, the first time: 120 years of warning. (See my 'Pass the Salt' Companion Video's description for linked videos walking you through those periods and their significance, from Adam through 2130 AD. We are in such a 120-year 'flood' period, now).
- So whether believer (70-year, in the middle) or unbeliever (50-year, at the end) voting unit, it must be preceded with its opposite value (70 + 50 or 50 + 70), to provide for enough time to HEAR the Word of Warning. And if unheeded, bam! Destruction.
If you saw my GGS videos in Part 10, you saw how this 120 played for the Temple. It went down in 586 BC. 120 years later, was the beginning of the regularly-scheduled believer voting window. Isaiah 53 balances to it, both via the 133 syllables, and by his balancing to the Temple's time grant โณ which ended SEVEN YEARS WITHIN that voting window, which ran from 467-397 BC. Daniel is tracking to that window, which in his day, is 537 - 467 = 70 years from when the 49th year elapses. Israel must get back to the Land before the 49th year ends; Temple construction must begin by that deadline, so the world will have 70 years' warning via Temple reconstruction. People must be informed; there must be a place where they can go to get Bible. They must have time to know and to go. It's just like Noah building that boat. That's why Daniel prays at the beginning of the 49th year, as we saw in Daniel 9:4. So you see, the 133 is conditioned on the 49, which is why in Daniel 9:7, the aggregate syllables of 182-49, are used.
Preview of coming Pauline Attractions: Paul meters to the selfsame 133, in Ephesians 1:6: EIS EPAINON DOXZES TES CHARITOS AUTOU, "resulting in praise to the Glory of His Grace". Opposite result, from Psalm 90:7's bahal, Isaiah 53:2's lo hashavnuhu, Daniel's lanu bosheth!
See: this metering is on purpose. And it's picked up by Bible writers. Clever way to 'talk back to' a prior passage, in days when everyone memorized, papyri/parchments being too heavy and writing, messy!
This was the heart of the Psalm 90 warning: VOTE, else Time ends with a flood! (Yeah, of troops, as God will later have Gabriel explain, in Daniel 9:26.) That's why 14 syllables are 'hidden' in the Decree verses 1-4 of Psalm 90. Why the Adamic voting window of Psalm 90:5-8, references the Flood; for it was first announced via Enoch. Psalm 90:7 noted our sprouting arrogance and evening bahal, to go with our Isaiah 53:2 wa lo hadar dismissal. God mirrors our own anger back at us; and we're dried up, qvetching yebeshes.
Context in both places makes it obvious that man rejects God. Meter makes it obvious WHEN that rejection occurs. You need to know both types of data to be properly informed. And it's easy even for a five-year-old, to count syllables and sing number songs. So in translation, you are NOT informed. And thus will be flooded, for willful ignorance. For obviously Daniel had the information: he's using it in his meter, just as Isaiah had, and Moses had: which means, the Jews were taught this information from childhood, for Daniel was only a teenager when made hostage. But of course some modern Jews and we Christians, are clueless. Yet even a brainout can count syllables and learn the information, so there is no excuse. If you wanted to learn Bible, you'd know this. We obviously do not want to learn Bible. See: it's about whether you learn and live on Bible, nothing else.
If you read the content of Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53 even in translation, you'll notice they both center on God's Vote versus Man's Vote Against God. But from the meter, you know more. Psalm 90 through verse 7, sums up the final Millennial vote (yet future, verses 1-4), and the first millennial vote (Adam's period, verses 5-7). Psalm 90:8 is left out of Daniel's tally, because that's a final result, the Cross. For the Last Seth will be the Appointed Substitute, and will become the Light of the Presence, thus buying our salvation (reason for the perpetual light in the Tabernacle and Temple). In Isaiah 53, the Decree of God to Create Christ, versus our rejection of Him when He comes, is dramatically portrayed through Isaiah 53:2. So it's deliberate: 133 syllables = sum of Daniel 9:5 through 9:7; summed syllables from Daniel 9:4 to end Daniel 9:7 is 182, divisible by 7. Daniel thus acknowledges that Time hangs on whether the Temple will be rebuilt.
So the '133' functions simultaneously as a Doctrine of Time marker, as well as an indexing device to where in Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53, Daniel points when he prays. Paul used the '133' in exactly the same way.
- This '133' tie also shows Daniel simultaneously accounts Time along two Davidic subtracks,
- from 1010BC, when David was crowned at Hebron. This subtrack begins its count in verse 6.
- Daniel also accounts Time beginning in verse 4, tallying to Isaiah 53's own syllable count, from David's birth in I040 BC.
- Next stop, Daniel 9:12: its sum=385 since the start of Daniel 9:4, and is divisible by 7. The difference between Daniel 9:7's syllables and 9:12 = 203, which = Isaiah 53:4's ending syllable count. In Isaiah 53, syllable 203 marks Temple Destruction in 586BC, 126 years after Isaiah began his 'report' in Isa53:1. So notice how awesome is the qum and shophat language in Daniel 9:12, also about Temple Destruction. Cause for that Judgment was shown in Daniel 9:8-12, during 901-698BC. Syllable 203 in Daniel 9:12 is Manasseh's birth. Syllable 203 in Isaiah 53:4 is 10th Av 586BC, Jeremiah 52:13. So now read 2Kings 21:10-15: due to Manasseh, God will destroy Temple and City with such rigor, BOTH ears will tingle in those hearing of it.
- So Daniel 9:13 is 49 syllables; begins at 698BC, ends at 649BC. But in tagging addition to Isaiah 53's syllable 203, we come full circle from Temple Destruction back to Daniel's prayer dateline, 538BC. The 49th syllable takes us to Isaiah 53:6's hiphgi(a). For Daniel, that's 'now'. So, Daniel prays per Psalm 90:16, to establish the Hands -- that God lay the Foundation again, bring the hebrewing sheep wandering along their own way, back to His Way in His Land at His Time for His Temple and His Glory.
- Daniel 9:14 thus runs 42 syllables down to Daniel's own captivity, beginning 607BC; in the tandem track from Isaiah 53, the same 42 syllables represent 562BC, tying AGAIN back to Isaiah 53's 203rd syllable, plus 42. Full circle, 2nd time, on time, his time. So Daniel ends his summation of the March of Kings and Prophets, in yet another aggregate seven, totalling what? 476! 14 short of the 490, adding 14 to Isaiah 53's 462 syllables! The 476 is also 126 more than Moses. On purpose, of course. So like Isaiah 53, Daniel split his 42's, as well. This one is first. (The second 42-syllable verse comes in Daniel 9:17, 164 syllables after Isaiah 53 had ended.) For it was God's Decree that Daniel be taken by Nebuchy baby. So he writes now, nearly 70 years later, summing up the Prancers and the Plodders, readying his Plea. For Daniel knows he's VOTING. That's what his own '70' was for. And of course, 607 is 42 sevens from when Asa turned to God, 901BC, beginning of Daniel 9:8.
- Notice that the total time period is 46 years 607-562, in Daniel's own timeline to tally, next verse. (Daniel's Track 2 tally runs a verse 'behind' the Isaiah 53 timeline.) Daniel 9:14 ended at 607. 9:15 will end at 562. {Self-note: finish this point and the rest of text meaning through verse 26.}
For Isaiah tracks from David's birth, since his theme was First David to Last David. We just saw above, what history Daniel covered and what he confessed about those years. From Exodus onward, Israel's history proved that God miraculously delivers over and over; even through hothead Asa and the Ethiopians Who God Defeated Single-Handed; Battle of Berachah and Jehoshephat; Sennacharib limping home because Hezekiah merely prayed; Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus converting, not to mention some famous Persian kings; whoa! so much proof of God Defending His People! made Israel (in)famous!
It was important she be (in)famous. People have to get information, and they are willing to get it more readily, if fame is used. Fame can be created by spectacular or popular or UNpopular news. This is the heart of advertising, to make the product known. Here, the issue was first to have a place known where people could go to get Bible. So David was raised up at the end of the 120-year period ending 3150 from Adam, aka our circa 1000 BC. He is literally born and dies in that last 50-year unbeliever voting window.
His Greater Son will also be born and die during what was supposed to be the last 120-year window of history, from 4080 - 4200 from Adam's Fall. That happened, too. In both cases, people nearby were either extremely delighted or extremely upset, so NEWS of these events travelled far and wide. Both persons were controversial, wildly successful, and hence loved and hated by millions. Remember, there was always a lot of travel through Israel. People walked. People talked. People then passed over, passed through, passed beyond aka hebrewed out to whatever intended destination, telling stories of these two persons, as they went. Gossip is popular. Especially, politically-incorrect or upsetting gossip. And it's pretty upsetting to hear that a red-headed handsome boy would be the progenitor of God Himself Who Would Execute a Bloodbath upon the Earth upon His Second Arrival. Second. First, He'd Come and give Due Diligence. Then would Pay for Sins what god does the paying? and then He'd return in full glory, you better watch out. This is why the story of both persons -- and especially the Last One -- spread infamously. It was tantamount to insulting all other nations and their religious notions.
And tantamount to offering real hope to people quivering under the horror of a Chemosh you never knew if your 'friend' would turn you in to be burnt alive or worse your kids burnt alive and you had to lop off penises and skin people alive to show your love for these bloodthirsty gods who never paid YOU a damn thing. People smile and nod and claim fealty, but in their heart of hearts they seek escape. The Real God offered it. People listened.
Isaiah's own Temple Destruction marker at 203, Isaiah 53:4 (end) simply says, God, Violated. Ending Isaiah 53:4, are two words: Subject 'God' plus the pual of ana, better rendered as 'violated'. Shorthand, for what common people then will say of Christ, afflicted by God! But Christ IS God: Temple represents Him. Of course, syllable 203 in Psalm 90:10 occurs at 'strutting, labor, trouble'. Yeah, awen due to awon. So Daniel also ties to Psalm 90 at syllable 203.
D'ya think maybe Daniel counts his syllables in both places, when he crafts what words to speak, in Daniel 9:12? Oh yeah. Daniel's accounting on two time tracks simultaneously: Daniel 9:12 ends at his own syllable 203, which represents 698BC, Manasseh's birth; difference since he last 'sevened' his meter is 133, tallying to Isaiah 53:2's own 133 syllable marker on the result of Manasseh's birth, God's Decree to Destroy. AND THE DIFFERENCE IS 70. Again, Isaiah 53:2 covers what people say of Christ. Christ is the Temple the Temple depicts, destroy this Temple and in 3 days I will rebuild it. Israel treated the Temple with extreme disrespect, to put it mildly (i.e., prostitutes lived in it, 2Kings 23:6). Hence Isaiah's own syllable 203, represents Temple Destroyed, fulfilling the 2Kings 21 decree about Manasseh. Again, notice the 70-year difference, and how Daniel's deft wording, tracks to both Manasseh=Cause, and Temple Down=Result.
Kinda obvious tie, huh. Daniel may as well insert Isaiah 53:4's timeline SMACK! into Daniel 9:12. Which of course he did, via sevening meter. For Daniel 9:12's aggregate syllables are here 385, divisible by seven. Same as total syllable count in Isaiah 53:1 through 12. Metric 'incorporation by reference' technique any lawyer drools to have! Notice how, by matching 385 at 203, both in Isaiah 53, Daniel mates '385' to '203' at the end with yaqem at the beginning of 9:12. Daniel thus affirms Word=Messiah will end STANDING, too. Just as Isaiah says, ending 53:12!
You can't claim these numbers are coincidence. Too many are matched up with wit and even biting humor. Content ties. The chronology tracks. There are juridical doctrines expressed by the back-and-forth metric 'connections'. Alas, our modern minds aren't deft enough to appreciate that genius. We read Daniel 9 and sigh, 'oh, he was such a good Christian.' Eternally clueless, of course, to the scary depositional warning. These are kings. They often cried to the Lord, heard Him, but later clunked and clanged and then clodded off the stage of life. Our Church Bell Will Toll the Same Way; and when Heaven's Trumpet blows for our OWN shuv, we too will be bosheth-faced. Paul will warn about it in Ephesians 1:11, a verse perennially mistranslated, so we miss the specialized Greek term, prothesin: We are shewbread. When it's stale, it's thrown out! Yeah, parallel to Romans 11 graft-out analogy, which stays nicely ignored century after century. End commercial message.
Okie dokie. So in Haggai 2, anniversary of 2nd Temple Foundation 16 years after Daniel prays in 538BC, God 'arrives' to announce He will do just that: for the hands He'd sent to rebuild, were hangin' kinda low to the ground, depressed. So twice that 24 Chislev day, Seed aka Zeru-b'Bel , is given Word he'll be Seed of Christ -- from that day forward. Yeah. Chanukah declared, 357 years in advance. Yeah, One Born on Chanukah to Die at 33, 357 + 33 = 390, ending the same 390 Israel suffered from Egypt. Yeah, so Daniel 9:13 ends at 649 BC, as well: 390 years after David's birth. For they are enslaved again, and only the Last David can free them.
Isaiah benchmarked the same future event at the beginning of the second clause in Isaiah 53:7, syllable 267, Year 521 or 522BC (depending on rounding), wa lo yiph'tach pi'u. Lamb of God opens His Mouth to Zerubabbel, START BUILDING AGAIN! so He will have a Body in which to go to His Death, humbly silent like a sheared ewe, the Temple the Temple lamb sacrifices would depict.
Could you ask for better interpretation proof, than tagged meter? Daniel 9:13 verse content: yes all this has happened to us, just as You gave Moses to warn us -- and yet even TODAY we don't 'return' to You, no repentance, no seeking Your Truth. So who does the Returning? God. To Rescue. God To The Rescue, Week Jakim, 1 Chron 24 priestly course for 3rd week in Sivan or Chislev. By His Hand He succeeds, Isaiah 53:10.
Thus Daniel presents EVIDENCE before the Lord. God can read his thoughts as he talks. So he's careful to match up God's Own Depositions through Moses and Isaiah, tagging them to his own, using meter as ID tags for each period in Israel's history; for citations to the relevant depositional portions God already deposited in other prophets. All this, to sum up the Case of the Prancing Kings but Plodding Prophets. For his Summary Statement must end, with a Plea to Return.
Amazing what we miss, when we don't learn Bible Hebrew meter! And of course God's reply in Daniel 9:24 and 25, also tags to Moses and Isaiah's 63-syllable sections; also explicitly tags to Daniel's 49 here! But from translation, you've NO IDEA where Daniel 9:25's numbers came from!
So let's notice 9:13's text, again: Just as written in the Law of Moses, that all this evil will come upon us; yet we don't become sick at heart, turn to the Lord Our God, away from our sins and [instead] prospering-by-wisdom from His Truth. Yeah, from Manasseh until Josiah, Turn Away Time, 698-649BC. So God turned Temple to Toast: until this day, 538BC, hiphgi(a).
Daniel 9:13 thus ends in another pregnant aggregate, divisible by seven: 434 syllables. 62 'weeks'. Time the Temple stood, plus the 70 years which will have elapsed since his own captivity, by year-end. Or, put another way, 69 years HAVE elapsed. Is 69 familiar? Also ties to Isaiah 53:12's syllable 434: w'et atsumim, yahalleq -- sharing out what? Well, the enemy has made Israel booty since 607 BC, first year of Nebuchadnezzar. So Give us as many good days as we've raah gadolah.. make us glad.. establish the work of our hands. Yeah, Moses stopped Psalm 90 at 350 syllables. 434 is 84 more.
So how about another 84-syllable decree, like the one Isaiah split in two? Yeah, tag again to Isaiah's own 434. Daniel's prayer will run another 308 syllables, 84 x 3, + 56, also equals 154 x 2, which sevened is 1078, deadline for Messiah's death, 1000th anniversary of David's death, the sum of Isaiah 53's syllables INCLUDING those in ellipsis. So 84*4+56, 392 syllables more than Psalm 90, =364+28. The 28 is the shortfall 14, twice, which Isaiah 'debited' from his total. Negative use of time requires two positives. Israel had 126 years left in her Time Bank 950-586=364 on the 490 from 950-460BC. So that leaves 14. TWO Trib sevens can't be made up. She's overdrawn.
Therefore, Daniel continually tallies his own timeline accounting to Isaiah 53's syllables, so to invoke them in his prayer; to claim their promise, as basis for his ending plea of reimbursement (beginning in verse 15). So as we saw from 9:5 onward, Daniel benchmarks at key syllable markers in Isaiah 53. In Daniel 9:12, he was 'at' Isaiah's syllable 203, too; yet also 'at' syllable 385, in his own prayer. We know that's true, since the DIFFERENCE between his last sevened 'paragraph' ending at syllable 182 and syllable 385, = 203. Daniel set up this tracking method back in 9:7. The difference between his first and second sevened paragraphs, was 133, ending at syllable 182 (Daniel 9:7's syllable count compared to his verse 4). This method, of course, is what Moses and Isaiah used; so now Daniel uses their accounting method, to make his own.
Notice how clever and helpful this methodology, albeit complex. A complex tracking is harder to follow, but easier to prove and audit. Complexity dispels any question of coincidence, helps you validate not only the text you read, but also the text it references. Bible's textual authenticity is always debated; those debunking Bible are thus proven rather slipshod, especially since a complex auditing methodology provably exists WITHIN the text itself; yet people don't bother to use it, before pandering claims about a) authenticity, or b) interpretation. Whoops.
So Daniel 9:12's content had tied to the end of Isaiah 53:4 on purpose, Temple Destruction: Isaiah's last clause in 53:4, ends at 586BC. Content is FUTURE, Messiah-Our-Temple-Pays-For-Our-Sins.
Yet there won't BE a Messiah if no Temple, 1Kings 9.
So the Promise of Messiah that IS Temple, went down.
Just as Messiah Himself will do.
So God will be faithful then,
just as He was faithful to fulfill His Promise now (Daniel 9:13's content).
So now Daniel claims
the remaining Promised Years in Isaiah 53.
Votes for them to happen.
So, keeps on tracking after Isaiah 53's syllable 203,
which syllables=years are contemporary history, to Daniel.
Now we come to an interesting benchmark tie to Nebuchadnezzar. In Isaiah 53, syllables 203-245 cover the time from Temple Down in 586BC, to 544BC. During that time, Nebuchadnezzar goes mad, after doing the 90-foot Oscar thingy (Daniel 3). Rebelling against the meaning of his head-of-gold dream, he makes an huge body of gold, not just the head. Oh King, Live Forever. His madness is benchmarked at syllable 203+10, keyword medukah in Isaiah 53:5 -- 466 years from David's Birth (252 years in ellipsis between 52:15 and 53:1). So the madness occurs 476 years from Daniel's 9:5 dateline (from Psalm 90's end) in 1050 BC. Nebuchadnezzar goes mad circa 575BC.
A seven-year civil war ensues. Nebuchadnezzar finally believes in Christ as then revealed, so God restores him to power, and from 569-562 the now-happy man finishes his rule and his life. So Daniel uses the sevening to benchmark the beginning of that civil war. Goyim king, this time. Still one God appointed, as long promised explicitly since Isaiah Chapter 40. One whom Jeremiah was ordered to tell JEWISH kings to obey. And because they didn't, Jerusalem went down.
This legal argument constitutes a basis for adding a 14 year credit. God fulfilled His Promise, the years elapsed, Babylon was delivered, the king believed, so shouldn't Israel now be delivered, too? So Daniel boldly tacks on 14 years to Isaiah's sum, now 476 instead of 462. Which of course, he was authorized to do, since Isaiah 53's march of the years, kept going on after syllable 203, and in the most pregnant section of the chapter: Messiah medukah (=crushed, corresponds to 575BC when Nebuchadnezzar was stricken), musar (=disciplined, corresponds to 569BC when Nebuchadnezzar is restored). Just as God promised He'd do, to Israel's captors. So the musar clause ends, benchmarking to Nebuchadnezzar's death (562 BC). Crushed, disciplined, now in heaven. Just like his Lord.
F
Lesser convergences, yet still significant: 49 sevens to the 490th anniversary of Hezekiah's death/Manasseh's sole rule, for which God decreed Jerusalem would be destroyed, Isa39. Also 49 sevens from finish 1st Temple construction to 1000th anniversary of Exodus.
G
Notice Daniel 9:24's 63 syllables, a Divine decree about 70 sevens; the last one of which, DOESN'T play in Israel's 'time'! Because God is careful to distinguish Time, and because the new Time begins piggybacked on the 'sundown' of the previous time (new day begins at sundown on the previous day), you'll often find a 2-year variance in Bible accounting. It's not merely due to our messed up BC/AD calendaring. In God's Accounting, if you are to count BOTH the beginning and the ending day/year as well as the time between, you'll have an extra 1 or 2 versus your own calculations. Or, an extra -1 or -2. So when you get dates within two days/years of what you expect, you must carefully analyze why. For you need to balance to what God counts in His Promise relative to the topic. Sometimes the stress is on both beginning and ending years; sometimes only on the beginning. Sometimes, only on the duration or the amount 'between'. The count will tell you which. Here, we saw that Moses' use of 63 meant also 64, referencing the shortfall in time of Messiah's death (because He'll die 64 years prior to the then-scheduled Millennium, 57+7). '63' in normal counting is also seven short. So notice how +1 also means the same as +0, depending on what is stressed.

Meter Import
Daniel 9 is a metered prayer; God's reply in Daniel 9:24-25 is also metered. Its text in every translation, explicitly uses numbers based on Daniel's meter; but you can't see that meter, in translation. Moreover, the meter style is the same as used in both Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53; and by use of meter, Daniel 'tags' specific verses and phrases, in those two passages. Paul will 'tag' Daniel, Isaiah and Moses the same way, in Ephesians 1:3-14; Paul will also ape the same meter style in all its characteristics, proving for us the fact that meter was used as a major communication engine for doctrine, as much as the explicit text, itself. Hence knowing the meter, dramatically alters how you read and interpret not only Daniel 9, but all prophecy, and many doctrines, especially Trinity. For one of the ways God communicates DECREE, is by trebling: all Members AGREE. How we read Bible history is affected, too: for just as Moses and Isaiah, Daniel meters his prayer into a chronology of both past and future. Moreover, Daniel meter-maps back to both Isaiah and Moses' chronologies, as legal precedence for his petition. Unlike them, Daniel's meter is syncopated, not uniformly symmetrical; to illustrate the sad history of Israel's bad voting via the history of its kings; starts with David and ends at 607BC, when Daniel was taken captive, verses 13 (Time Track 2) and 14 (Time Track 1). Prayer Outline, as shown by the metered bookends on page 3 and 4: ยจ Daniel 9:4-9:13, The Indictment, 434 syllables, @49 syllables in each verse 4 and 13, bookend a full-circle timeline starting from when Daniel prays in 538BC, going back to David's Kingship at Hebron, then annually forward to 538BC, when Daniel prays (using Time Track 2, see page 4). The Indictment Crux is sub-bookended in palindromic 58's, verses 11 and 12. This covers Isaiah's ministry, ending with Manasseh's capture and repentance; as a result, temple down ๐๏ธ was irrevocable, 2Kings 21:11-15, 23:26, 24:3. So Daniel organizes his meter to circle on the root reason why he was captured, and why he prays 'now'. ยจ Daniel 9:14-9:19, The Petition. 9:14 is a standalone sevened preamble of 42 syllables (first bookend), summarizing the case. The Petition has three subparagraphs. ยจ The 9:14 subparagraph ends with 9:17 (second 42-syllable bookend), sum = 64 threes (not sevens). ยจ The 2nd subparagraph's closing bookend at Verse 18, metered at 69 syllables, 'ropes' back to its first 69-syllable bookend in Daniel 9:7, where the bad time began (under Solomon), and it runs 194 threes (not sevens). Excluding the overlap, verse 18 alone = 23 threes. The hanging-chad seven owed on the 49 missed sabbatical years, can't play pre-Messiah. So 7 is in ellipsis. ยจ Verse 19 is the third subparagraph, truncated to 47 syllables. Would be 54 = reimbursement due Gentiles for Abraham's too-early maturation, = 18 threes and equals the meter God will use in Daniel 9:27. ยจ Sum of all three subparagraphs (without overlap) = 105 threes, including the ellipsis. 105 also equals 15 sevens. ยจ Paul will use these Daniel threesomes, to craft his meter for the three sets of anaphora bookends in Ephesians 1:3-14 (i.e., opening the eudokian anaphora at syllable 105, in Ephesians 1:6; and ending the anaphora's last bookend, also at 105). So clearly he parallells Daniel's prayer and God's answer, on purpose. You can't see any of this in translation, for the rhetorical style is to give generic words a historical underpinning, just as Moses did, in Psalm 90. Like, an anthem. Daniel's historical use of meter was annotated in http://www.brainout.net/Ps90Isa53Daniel 9Eph1.doc , starting at Footnote E. The related Kings and Chronicles verses were listed, so the reader can 'track' that history, with Daniel's prayer. An updated copy of that Footnote E text follows at the end of THIS document; this document's content SUPERCEDES the link copy. Eventually, Footnote E will be removed from the above link, and the reader will be referred here. I apologize for this piecemeal material, but I publish it as I learn it, and then must go back and edit. Again, Paul plays Daniel, in Ephesians 1:3-14. You will misinterpret Ephesians if you don't know how Paul uses meter; if you don't know how Paul plays on Daniel. So http://www.brainout.net/Ephesians1REPARSED.doc covers the Ephesians passage, and contains a comprehensive list of all associated videos and documents. In sum, this document shows how Daniel's words are timed to history, via the meter. For he keys his words to the time periods he references in that meter. After he completes the historical indictment in Daniel 9:13, he starts to use meter as the basis for his petition to God to restore the Temple -- which means, restoring the Time. Daniel calculates how much time, via meter. God thus responds to Daniel's calculations. God also lists the meters Daniel uses, which to us in English are 70, 49, 7, 62 (434). We don't know where those numbers come from, in English. So we don't know why God subdivides the time as He does. So we have miscalculated what Daniel 9:24-27 means, for centuries! Hence this document shows Daniel's meter, so we can know what Daniel meant by what he said, WHY he asked God for those units of Time, and WHY God responded as He did. Thus we can finally calculate Daniel 9 correctly. And hence, understand what Paul means in Ephesians 1:3-14, as well.

Daniel 9:4-19 Meter Chronology Chart
Meter Chronology Chart Note A
Track 2 and 3 use the 'Diff' column to tie in Isaiah 53's and finally Psalm 90's syllables, cumulatively; thus the chronology is faster.
Meter Chronology Chart Note B
Daniel 9:15's 46 syllables is a palindromic sum: Daniel's prayer is 23 years after Nebuchadnezzar's death (dateline tying backward, beginning of year); 23 years before, end of God's decreed deadline for temple rebuilding ๐๏ธ, 516 BC (dateline tying forward, end of year). He is also 70 years from the upcoming 70-year voting period ๐ณ๏ธ which will begin in 467 BC. That's another time palindrome. (Time equidistance and number Palindromes are hallmarks in Bible Hebrew meter, idea of showing the 'circle' of Time returning to fulfill God's Purpose.) There are other meanings to the 46, but I've not yet figured them all out. However, Daniel still tracks to Psalm 90, from verse 16 now: next 46 syllables after syllable 294 in Psalm 90 (which ended its verse 15), Daniel now tags. That's all of Psalm 90:16 up to the last 10 syllables of verse 17; Daniel cuts off the 'nu' from aleynu -- meaning, establish HIM (becomes 3rd person masc singular). Whose hands? Messiah, the God who will take ON Hands, Isaiah 52:13, 53:1, 53:10c. (My pastor had a field day pointing that out in his exegesis on Isaiah 53, Lessons 26-28.) Daniel also still tracks Isaiah 53, but at 397BC Isaiah inserts a 364-year ellipsis for the promise of 1st Temple's standing years being restored, end Isaiah 53:10. So Daniel updates Isaiah: Daniel textually 'ropes' Isaiah 53:10 to Psalm 90:17 'establish the work of our hands' -- to establishing MESSIAH, which of course is what Isaiah 53:10 is about -- 'by His Hand, He succeeds'. Thus Daniel cleverly truncates Psalm 90:17's 'aleynu' to 'aley' at the 340th syllable of Psalm 90. In Hebrew that changes the meaning to, 'establish the work of our hands for HIM' -- Messiah. So notice the cleverness: ยจ Isaiah 53 syllable 340, is 450 BC, four or seven years before Nehemiah will learn of a new attack on Jerusalem, which results in her wall going down again, Nehemiah 1:1ff. Daniel is tying forward to that time, by benchmarking Isaiah 53 syllable 340, in Daniel 9:15. [Easton's Dictionary says Nehemiah returned 446 BC. The doubled-70 time grant โณ you'll see accounted below, also has the second (of three) 70's ending at 446BC, to reimburse for Temple being built by the 516BC deadline of Jeremiah 25:11-12, 29:10-11, etc. ISBE and other sources claim Nehemiah went to Jerusalem in 444BC, and Isaiah 53:9's 2nd clause pregnantly ends at that year also: and associated with a rich man, in His Deaths. Many people mistake Nehemiah's coming as the time of a decree GOING forth, to calculate Daniel 9:25's seven and sixty-two weeks; since the numbers then balance to the Crucifixion, if one uses solar years as one should. But Nehemiah's surprise in 446 or 444 shows that Jerusalem had already been long rebuilt; only its wall was newly down, with associated wreckage. He rebuilt it in 52 days, Neh 6:15. So the point of the passage is to prove that Jerusalem had already been rebuilt by the 446BC deadline per God's decree, not any king's; as you'll see, in http://www.brainout.net/Daniel 924HebParsed.pdf .] ยจ But also, Isaiah 53:10 syllable 390 (b'yado) = 397 BC, end of the historical voting period ๐ณ๏ธ referenced at the end of Psalm 90, about which Daniel votes -- ยจ Isaiah 53:10, metrically replies to Psalm 90:17 via the same 1/2 voting meter (35), and Isaiah uses 'hand' to tie as well. So, Daniel does the same thing: in Daniel 9:15, using 'hand'. ยจ After all, the God who delivered them from Egypt, was to become the Passover Lamb, per Isaiah 53:10 contract. See how the association between 'Egypt' and 'hand' evokes Moses (who Daniel named in his 9:13) -- and 'hand' in Isaiah 53:10 thus links to Passover, birthday of the nation? See how Bible's meter is as deft and deliberate, as its textual incorporation by reference? So Daniel now shifts, here in 9:15, to Future Accounting Meter. That's why he makes another equidistant dateline. He now accounts Time based on what God already told him about the future, and based on the PROMISE in the ellipsis of Temple years in Isaiah 53 (after verse 10, before verse 11) -- to tally years for his petition to restore the Temple, and thus time itself โณ. Daniel's language is strong, for he invokes Numbers 14:12-19, when God offered to destroy Israel and begin again with only Moses. At this point, instead of tagging directly to Moses and Isaiah's syllables by cumulative differences between his metered paragraphs (for Time Track 2), beginning in verse 16, Daniel instead will tag his own prayer's meter, based on the new information God gave him about that future, from Daniel 3 forward. So for what follows, notice that previously Daniel had last 'sevened' at verse 14. Cumulative tally there, was 476. Hence Daniel's syllables will next seven, at Daniel 9:19's end, the difference (from verse 14) being 266 = 38 sevens = 126+70+70. 126 reimburses unlapsed promised 1st-Temple Time = 70+49+7; it will play as another 70 from 516BC-446BC, to get to voting period ๐ณ๏ธ. 266 = 252 + 14. Thus he invokes a LIKE REIMBURSEMENT, tagging the ellipsis of 252 syllables=years between Isaiah 52:15 and 53:1 (to align from David's Death to 712BC with Hezekiah @53:1's start). So notice: the 364 ellipsis + 252 ellipsis in Isaiah = 616, minus the 126 unlapsed 1st-Temple Time (offset) = 490! See, he balances Time like credits and debits, 'obeying' Psalm 90:15! Syllable sum 742 in verse 19 is 8 sevens short of # of sevens in Allotted Time for mankind, 750*7=5250 = Psalm 90 Allotment. So God replies with this meter in Daniel 9:24-27, see http://www.brainout.net/Daniel 924HebParsed.pdf . More about this follows in Note F, below. Paul picks up at this point, metering his 'dateline' paragraph when Christ would have been age 56, in Ephesians 1:4. Paul also piggybacks the same factors to craft his epainon anaphora as 67 and 38 threes, see http://www.brainout.net/Ephesians1REPARSED.doc . Just as Daniel had tagged Isaiah and Moses by differentials between sevened paragraphs, Paul metrically tags Daniel 9:14 through Daniel 9:19, to 'answer' Daniel's petition. ยจ For Daniel 9:14-19's sum with ellipsis: 266 + 42 + 7 = 315. ยจ In Paul, (67 + 38) x 3. Thus Paul emphasizes continuity of God's Will and Purpose to Glorify Christ. This helps us to grasp how Paul 'reads' Daniel 9's meter. Briefly put, in Ephesians 1:3-14, Paul crafted three anaphora 'bookends': material between the bookends is the 'content', just as Daniel uses 49 69 58 58 49 42 42 69 bookends, here. ยจ First Paul crafts a eudokian anaphora, metered at 77 threes or 33 sevens. Tying to, Christ as 77th Son Who Dies at Age 33, the Good Will and Pleasure of Father to make us sons in the Son (verse 5), Who became the Asset Portfolio we can 'eat', now that He is revealed (verse 9); as a result of which we become Temple Shewbread and Firstfruits, like Him (verse 12). The summed meter is 231 syllables = Daniel 9:24-27, God's Reply to Daniel. So this anaphora updates that reply with God's Will and Purpose for Church, as 'inside' what God told Daniel: hence the witty hidden-from-eternity-past musterion language of Pleromatos Pregnant Time, a theme Paul never tires of repeating in Romans 8, Galatians 4, and of course in Ephesians. ยจ The 'eat', Temple Shewbread, and Firstfruits are themselves a third anaphora, which in the above REPARSED link I call 'Temple Trio'. Its meter is a 70 plus a 42, signifying Voting and Generation Building, respectively. Sum is 112 = 56 x 2, aka 16 sevens. So the Trio 'replies' to Daniel 9:25+26 = 114 syllables, since your 57th year begins piggybacked on your 56th birthday: Time won't complete to Millennium if Church isn't made into Shewbread from THE Shewbread, as that's the Plan. Keywords in the Temple Trio are proetheto (Ephesians 1: 9), prothesin (1:11), and proelpikotas (1:12). ยจ Between the other two anaphora is the epainon anaphora, at 67 + 38 threes = 105 threes, aka 45 sevens. As noted above, the 105 threes = Daniel 9:14-17. So, even as the eudokian anaphora was a full reply to Daniel 9:24-27, this epainon anaphora fully 'replies' to Daniel 9:14-19. Let's see why. o The epainon anaphora is birthed by the eudokian, also in Ephesians 1:6. Greek epainon's translation 'praise', doesn't properly convey the fact that Glory is REFLECTED in whatever or whomever will be used to CREATE that praise. o In Ephesians 1:12, the next use of the epainon anaphora, we find out that the 'praise', is US. Meaning, we will REFLECT CHRIST, which of course we learn in other verses as well (like 1John 2:26-3:2, 1Cor 13, later in Ephesians, Revelation 4). o In Ephesians 1:14 the epainon anaphora completes, and we learn that the Holy Spirit makes us INTO His Glory. THE Glory. Shekinah Glory, 10th priestly course name, 2nd week of Chislev, which in some years = the Lord's Birthday on Chanukah aka Christmas (especially since Pope Gregory cut 10 days out of the Julian calendar). o Thus we see the tie back to Daniel, and Temple. Daniel prayed for the Temple to be rebuilt. It was. But then The Temple the Temple Depicted, was Rejected when He came, Man of Sorrows still By His Hand Succeeding at the Cross, paying for l'rabbim, the people. o So would the Temple Get His Promised Time, or would Time END? 62nd week hadn't yet completed! o Enter, Church. Paul's metrical theme is four 'quarters' of 91 each: sum of the number of sabbatical years in a 490, and the number of Jubilees in a 1050, inter alia. Setup for the two-walls analogy, in Ephesians 2. Hence a 'Year' of Church, to Complete Time. [Also sum of the number of sabbatical years in a 560, see page 15 of http://www.brainout.net/TenWaysThisTimelineDiffers.doc.] ยจ So just as Daniel's prayer completed Time so Church could be born from He Who Had No Descendants, Church Bride Body of Christ will complete its 'Year' so that Israel can be reborn in Ezekiel 37, at the Second Advent. (Nerd note: Ezekiel 37 graphically depicts RESURRECTION of the PEOPLE of Israel . So it never refers to a current political entity.)
Meter Chronology Chart Note C
Since the 266 = 126 + 70 + 70, The last two 70's require more explaining. The first 70 is in the 126; 48 of it, elapsed; the 49th was beginning, when Daniel prays. So all 49 will be eligible for reimbursement at the end of the year, but can't play until the second 70, completes. Reimbursement is First in, First out. So when the first 70 of Jeremiah 25:11-13 (etc.) completes -- even though the 49 currently occurring is part of it -- the JUDGMENT is a separate accounting item, and thus subject to separate reimbursement. So when that second 70 completes, only then can the reimbursement of the 49, play. So the 70 plays back-to-back, 586-446BC. Then the 49 can be reimbursed. That's why Daniel's 49-metered paragraphs reference but don't request, the 49 reimbursement. Those years are accounted here instead, as part of the initial 126 still owing on 1st-Temple time. That time must be reimbursed first, before new Time can be granted.
So Daniel 9:16 invokes hem'teka from Psalm 90:7 (its only occurrence), and his Yashav-nu from Psalm 90:13, thus juridically spanning his petition basis for the 62 weeks, from Adam's Fall to Moses. This is a tack-on to the basis he'd already established, in verses 6-13, with the history of Israel's kings. So now the juridical basis of his petition, goes all the way back to Adam. Which means, he balances his petition to ALL of Allotted History (5250 years, the span in Psalm 90.)
Daniel had calculated the allowable time left, so metrically asks for the 62 weeks in Daniel 9:16; so he makes sotto-voce tie back to when his prayer totalled 434 syllables, end Daniel 9:13; which God grants, in Daniel 9:25 and 26. Idea of voting for what God told him of the future, to actually occur: for God to reimburse 364-year 1st-Temple standing time (which Isaiah 53 ellided between 53:10 and 11), plus a 70-year tack-on. Here's his reasoning: since reimbursing the first 70 only cancels negative time, another 70 is needed to 'return' Time to its positive purpose. So Daniel invokes the Psalm 90:15 'equal time' clause, hence = 62 'weeks'. Daniel's prayer is a CONCLUSION based on what he'd been told.
And how do we know all this? From his preceding meter counts, and meter tagging. Meter tells us what he was THINKING, as he prayed the words.
ยจ Daniel 9:13 summed 434 syllables, which is the 62 weeks -- of SPENT time. Past. In Time Track 2, ALL the past, up to the day he prays. Thus he concluded the indictment begun in verse 4 = 49 syllables; hence Daniel 9:13 also is 49 syllables, a closing bookend, with 434 as its sum, content, start to end. 56 SHORT. [This is where Paul will pick up, and why Paul also meters Ephesians 1:3-14 at 434 syllables. This is why, like Daniel, Isaiah and Moses, Paul uses metered bookends, too.]
ยจ So this bad past is basis for reimbursement, since Daniel showed the time was spent negatively. Negative time means its purpose was not fulfilled, so it needs to be reimbursed, mirrored; restitution made for loss, under the Mosaic Law. Which required paying DOUBLE: Exodus 22:4, 7, 9; Revelation 18:6. That applies to Time, too.
ยจ Then, Daniel began the hiatal paragraph 9:14, really the preamble of his petition, which brought the new syllable total to 476, 14 short. Here he begins a new bookend of 42 syllables, which he'll repeat to 'close', in 9:17. This bookend is 64 threes, not sevens: 626 syllables at the end of 9:17, minus 434 syllables end verse 13.
ยจ This new total is a full-circle accounting up to his 607BC captivity on Time Track 1, Daniel 9:14; but now future, on Time Track 2. Daniel 9:15 continues it, 46 syllables more, as we saw in Note B. So as of Daniel 9:15, both Time Track 1 and 2 are going into the future. A future God had told him, since Daniel 2.
ยจ So Daniel next sets up two requests for Time Future: reimbursement claim for the 62 weeks SPENT; and, reimbursement claim of the 14 which will be OVERspent, due to Temple reconstruction in that future. The 62-weeks' reimbursement request occupies verse 16, which is part of the 64 threes, and nominally spans the period of the expected Reconstruction (in Time Track 2), until the next historical Voting Window from Adam's Fall, which begins 467BC. He had already benchmarked that Voting Window back in 9:15 (again via Time Track 2).
ยจ The actual 62-syllable division of the Time -- as well as this petition for NEW TIME of 62 weeks -- covers the prophecy he was given back since Daniel 2 of the Man of History, which he now has been experiencing: the end of Babylon, and rise of Persia. Due to first-in, first-out reimbursement, the 62 weeks wouldn't begin until 397BC, when the voting window closes: 586-70-70-49=397BC. Ergo verse 16, covering the period when the 62 weeks is needed (in Time Track 2) -- is 62 syllables long.
ยจ So notice how he's using what he learned: verse 16 is based on Numbers 14:12-19 reasoning, due to our sins we are a reproach and surrounded, so relent Your All-Righteous anger against Your City, Your Holy Hill. See how the meter gives you context for what he says? For God's numbers, in response?
ยจ So now we have a Time Justice problem. Due to God's Doubling Restitution Law, the 1st-temple down ๐๏ธ Judgment of 70 years BEING spent, must be reimbursed. Psalm 90:15, give us as many good days as we had, bad.
ยจ So that means 140 years must play, from the Time Temple Went Down -- but the 1st Temple's remaining 'time bank' was only 126 years, as Isaiah had long warned (950BC dedication, 1Kings 8:1 - 586BC destruction, Jeremiah 52:11-13 is 490-126 years, = 364). Ergo, 14 short, just as Moses first warned by cutting off 14 from Psalm 90:16+17; which Daniel invokes in Daniel 9:15, to justify his 476, in Daniel 9:14. Ergo, negative time needing reimbursement. Clever, huh. Daniel was a great lawyer.
ยจ Now for the third 70. The 62 weeks aka syllables in Daniel 9:16, not only represent bad time already spent and thus due restitution; but good time which likewise gets reward: the 364 years the Temple stood. However bad Israel was, the Temple stood, and it deserves a reward; so he says in verse 16, turn away your anger from your City, Your Holy Hill. Not based on the people, but based on the Temple being there, 1Kings 9 contract. Here's his legal argument: If while standing Temple got hit with a 70, now being paid off; then a new 70 is due if Temple stands another 364 years in the future. No wonder Nebuchadnezzar put Daniel in charge of empire.
ยจ Note next how Track 1 and 2 intertwine, how Daniel balances between them both. Tally up the number of years' difference between the END of Time Track 1, and the BEGINNING of Time Track 2, in Daniel 9:14. Treat it as 70 (really, the start of 70th year): 607-538 are the years between the two Time Tracks.
ยจ Now, do the same thing for each number pair between Time Tracks, through verse 19. What did you get when you subtracted verse 19's ending 341 BC from its Time Track 2 beginning 284BC? The familiar 57?
Well, whaddya know -- that equals the difference between 750-742, with the 750 = number of sevens in a 1050, the very theme of Daniel's prayer (he's praying for his own 1050 to be completed). And what is 57? Oh, the number of years per Mosaic Law which precedes what? THE MILLENNIUM, long depicted as the sum of Passover and Pentecost, Jubilee and Trib, which equals Messiah's deadline for death. (End of 56 = beginning of 57, like in any birthday.) For David died 963BC, so Messiah must die no later than 1000 years after that, which Isaiah 53 used for his Chronology of 1078 (David's birth to end Messiah = 1078 syllables = 154 sevens). No more Time remains.
ยจ Now, again subtract the difference between the ENDING Time Track 1 date in Daniel 9:7, and the date in Time Track 2. What's the difference between the two Time Tracks? Ahhhh, 252 years, equals the interval between David's death (really, late in 963BC) and 712 BC that Isaiah used, ellipsis between Isaiah 52:15 and 53:1; and 252 years, between when Asa goes bad, and Manasseh turns good (too late to stop temple down ๐๏ธ)!
ยจ Of course, by verse 19, the sevened differential (Daniel now tagging himself), equals 266. (End verse 19's syllable count of 742, minus the end of verse 14's syllable count of 476.) Then divided by 2, = 133.
ยจ 133 is the sum of 63, number metaphor of God's Decree set up in Psalm 90:1-3 and reflected in Isaiah 53:9+10 or 10+11; and,
ยจ 70, meaning VOTE. Ouch.
ยจ That 133 is also the number of sevens absent the 120 year Flood precedence (70+50, four generations) in a 1050. Witness: 1050 = 150 sevens -120 = 931 years, at start of year = 133 sevens.
ยจ And the Temple went down, 120 years before the next historical voting period ๐ณ๏ธ, 586-466BC (rounding for the fact Temple fell in August).
ยจ 133 equals Isaiah 52:13 through end of 53:2, when Manasseh is taken captive, which prompts his repentance, but doesn't change God's Decree That the Temple Will Go Down, 2Kings 21:11-15, 23:26, 24:3.
ยจ Also 133 = sum of Isaiah 53:9-12, God's other Decree, which saves everyone. God talking, in both Isaiah sections.
ยจ Also, Psalm 90:7 is the 133rd syllable, Adamic pre-Flood observation that men die apoplectic at God in His 'anger' (mirroring theirs, of course). That's awfully apt to what Daniel says in his own 9:7, huh. Shamefaced.
ยจ And of course Daniel uses hemateka keyword uniquely in Psalm 90:7, here in Daniel 9:16 to ask for the 62 weeks -- balancing Juridical Time all the way back to Adam, as we saw at the beginning of this Note C.
Wow, meter sure conveys a lot of doctrine you can prove was in Daniel's mind -- as these are his own syllable counts -- but you can't see much from the text, huh. Meter which everyone used to index, cross-reference, quote, entertain -- no TV, computers, file cabinets. Since a book required two oxen to carry it, you learned to memorize prodigiously and fast. And you enjoyed so doing, to evocative meter which exhibited vital doctrine!
Meter Chronology Chart Note D
Daniel 9:17's 42 syllables, is one-half 84 = God's Complete Decree in Psalm 90. The 42 is a generation-building number prominent in both Psalm 90:11-13, any pair among Psalm 90:4, 8, 9, 16; and Isaiah 52:13+14, 53:12. So Daniel tags these passages for his text in his verses 17 and 14, using them as bookends, like Isaiah did, so to sum at 84. Thus text from verse 14-17, forms a thematic subunit, a Plea for God's Decree -- God's Decree to Rebuild, not a human king's! -- with tagged metrical references as 'citations'. Note how in all same-metered passages, God expresses His Decree, or is asked to make one. Including verse 14 (the preamble), this subparagraph sums 64 threes. Excluding it, 50 threes. 50 threes equals 150, and 150 sevens are in a 1050. What's left over? 14! Get the wit? Notice that the threes are symbolic, for they represent Decree Relationships, whereas the sevens, are real time. A kind of Divine Shorthand you could mull over while threshing wheat, waiting in line for the priest to take your animal sacrifice, etc. Decree related to TIME. ยจ Setup was verse 13, closing The Indictment. Verse 13 referenced the Written Word which had prescribed all this disaster, and Daniel now prepares to cite that Same Word, for happier prescriptions. ยจ Verse 14, You Watched Over The Evil, invokes Jeremiah 1, almond metaphor, and 1Kings 9 contract; this is a 42-syllable preamble, first bookend and divisible by seven. Its corollary claim, by verse 17: Just As You Watched Over The Evil as a consequence of Your Word, Now Watch Over Your Promises -- invoking Psalm 90:12-15, especially verse 15's 'equality-of-days' clause. [Ergo meter is paired, mirrored, circular, coming back to where it started, as Daniel does with verses 4, 13, 14, the latter two tagging full-circle back to verse 4.] ยจ Verse 15, You Brought Us Out Of Egypt so You would be glorified, invokes Numbers 14:12-19; ยจ Verse 16, Turn From Your Anger Because We (Due To Our Sins) Are A Reproach, And Surrounded. Ibid. ยจ Then verse 17, closing with the same w'attah ("and now") which began this subsection, Listen To The Prayer And Supplication Of Your Servant, And Make Your Face Shine (Again) On Your Desolated Holy Sanctuary: to make Reply, Adonai! Again invokes Numbers 14, how Moses' face shone, Temple Filling (Shecaniah, 10th priestly course in 1Chron24); and Numbers 6, about how one's 'face' shines when illuminated with Truth. So too, 1Kings 9, when someone prays toward Your Holy House, You will hear... ยจ Thus you know again why Matthew 1, uses 42 -- to show Moses', Daniel's prayer and Isaiah's prophecy, all got answered by God -- by generating Messiah.
Meter Chronology Chart Note E
Daniel 9:18's 69, admits that the first seven of the Petitioned seventy-sevens, can't play pre-Messiah; just as Isaiah 53:8 showed, balancing to 460BC, the end of 1st Temple's Time. The 126 remainder ended there; 14 short of the 140 years due on negatively-elapsed time, which instead ends 446 BC. So Isaiah 53's syllables end at 462, not 490. Temple was rebuilt by 516BC (Isaiah 53:7, end clause 2). For the sake of the upcoming voting period ๐ณ๏ธ, the 7 due on the 49, cannot play pre-Messiah. Again, first in, first out. The first loss, is the 7 on the 49. So it has to be ensconced inside the 62 weeks he just requested, which end with Messiah's lifetime. Notice how the 69 is bookended since verse 7, when Solomon began ruling. Thus you know Daniel's talking about THIS 'seven', not a different one. He accounts the whole period as responsible for the SHORTNESS of that one week. Sum since Daniel 9:7 (which began Time Track 2) is 194 threes; Verse 18 alone is 23 threes. God never says Israel missed 70 years. Easy to know that, too: Saul to temple down ๐๏ธ, 464 years. Yet heeding Eusebius not Bible, teachers claim oh, Israel missed 70 sabbatical years. Sigh. We know Solomon didn't miss any sabbatical years, as God gave him to write Ecclesiastes and Proverbs. So look: 930BC Rehoboam begins. 586 BC, Temple goes down. 49 x 7 = 343 years. 930 - 586 = 344 years. Daniel's prayer would get a 'no' answer, if more missed sabbatical years of 'rest' had to play. But they did return just after he prayed in 538BC, witness Ezra, Haggai, etc. So how can that 7 be made up? It can't; Israel must be ON the Land; and each year she is, more sabbatical years accrue. So Daniel here debits the extra seven as unplayable, until Messiah. Messiah was allotted 40 years, so that seven could play during His Time. Unknown to Christendom, Messiah was allotted the same lifetime as David ruled, ยจ for Messiah had to be born a King no later than the 1000th anniversary of David's Kingship. ยจ Isaiah thus metered Time in Isaiah 53, theme of First David to Last David, 1078 syllables, with two huge ellipses. ยจ First ellipsis was 252 years between Isaiah 52:15 and 53:1, spanning the number of years between David's death at age 77 (hence 52:13-15=77 syllables), and when Isaiah ministers to Hezekiah, in 712BC. That's when his chronology becomes current and prophetical, counting down to the end of Allotted Time. ยจ Second ellipsis, 364 years between Isaiah 53:10 and 11, resulting in a countdown to 37AD (use solar years, not lunar). Promise of Temple Standing Time, Reimbursed. That's when the 62 weeks begins. Messiah was scheduled to die at the end of the 70-tack on, sum of Isaiah 53:11-12, as the text shows. ยจ For Messiah must be born a King no later than 1004BC-1000, since David died 963BC per 1Kings 6:1; he became King of all Israel in 1004BC. ยจ Thus Messiah can die by the 1000th anniversary of David's death. No later. ยจ So the extra seven due can play then, for Messiah is the Redeemer of Time. He must successfully die BEFORE David's last 1000-year time grant โณ runs out, which is co-terminous. ยจ So the 62nd week, belongs to Messiah. If He dies successfully ANY TIME during that week, the extra seven can be redeemed. Notice how this 69 proves the interpretational value of meter. Daniel 9:18's words are very musical. Generic, like Psalm 90. Why? You can claim his words show his emotion, confidence in God's Mercy, surely; but once you know his meter, you know what Daniel THINKS as he talks. Since you know 69 was the meter in 9:7, and since you know Daniel tags Isaiah and Psalm 90 via the differential between his own sevened paragraphs, you know Daniel 9:7's first 69 'bookend' for Time Track 2, also referenced Manasseh and the 2 Kings 24 promise, Temple would go down. So now the generic words have a context. It's like Star Spangled Banner -- our anthem's words have special meaning only discernible due to their 'backstory'. Else, 'fuzzball'. Pretend you found its lyrics absent context, 1000 years from now. Pretend America is long-gone, and you must analyze this 'artifact' all by itself: whose 'rockets red blare'? Whose 'flag'? Star Wars? Sports flag, knight's flag? Many flags have stars, and what does 'spangled' mean? See: our national anthem is fuzzball, based on words alone. Chronology meter shows the historical meaning behind the words; especially, since you had to memorize by syllable counts, anyway. Bigger bang for the buck. Moreover, we always have thoughts and ideas behind our words. Note how deftly Bible meter tells you what they are: tagging other passages, bookending -- and doctrinal meaning of the numbers, themselves. So now you are inside Daniel's head; now certain what the verses mean, and in a full-bodied way. In translation the text is another churchy droning; you learn nothing. Or worse, you get the false idea that God has eyes or ears, or that He's impressed by long-winded speeches and compliments. Nothing in the text makes you know Daniel has gone through a litany of Israel's history by her kings, though you see him say 'kings' and 'fathers' repeatedly; but it's only obvious which kings and 'fathers', from the meter. Daniel benchmarked the good and bad times, made sure his syllable counts balanced to 490, showing when and why short; and, which other Bible verses on the same subject, tied. He did all this, simply by the meter. So now you're not surprised to see a 69: Israel must be debited 'one week' for that hanging-chad 7. And you know it's part of Messiah's 62nd week from Isaiah53, just as Daniel invokes; that He actually dies SEVEN YEARS SHORT of His Allottment, at the START of that 'week'. So you know there are TWO SEVENS yet to play: this one, and the Trib. Thus Paul pregnantly meters Ephesians 1:10, @ 14.
Meter Chronology Chart Note F
Daniel 9:19's last accounting item is thus a net 47, balancing the LAST seven, to the Time Debt owed the Gentiles. It's a net 47+7 in ellipsis = 54, to reimburse the Gentiles for Abraham's too-early maturation. Again, Daniel's prayer is a conclusion from Bible, plus prophecy he directly received from God. So, he calculates: pray @ start year 49; 21 years left on the 70. So 54+21-14=47. The 14 is a foreknown debit as Israel would be reimbursed the doubled 70, but only had 126 years in her Time Bank. The 54, must close Israel's 'time'.
Christendom is uninformed how God accounts Time, so mistakes Daniel 9. Dispensationalism is known, but as it is originally Jewish, Christendom largely rejects it.
- Adam to Abraham was supposed to run 2100 years; but due to the Flood, Noah matured early and thus Abraham had to as well, To Save Time From Ending.
- Abraham's maturation, like Noah's, occurred 54 years prior to a deadline: for Noah, deadline was the end of the Flood voting period ๐ณ๏ธ, 1610 from Adam's fall, but he super-matured by 1556; for Abraham, deadline equalled 2100 after Adam's Fall; but he super-matured by 2046 (when Noah's 490 ran out).
- This dual 54-years-early created a running dual time credit, as illustrated by Noah entering and leaving the boat 57 days after his birthday, in Genesis 7:11 (LXX text, not Hebrew). Noah was in the boat for a complete year, ending Genesis 8:14.
- So notice: 57 + 365 + 57 = 479. + 21 = 490. More about how this pattern sets a precedence for all history, will be covered on the next page.
- For now, just notice that paired 54 became a paired 57. How, is yet unclear: there are several ways to account it, and I'm yet not sure which method God uses.
- So 57 ended up an additional hanging chad on the 'end' of Jewish Time, and would be encoded in the Mosaic Law for that reason. Hence Daniel's reconciliation must balance to it. And he does so, here. So Daniel 9:19 balances to that 57, not to the end of the Abrahamic 2100. For the last 57, completes that 2100.
- For Abraham is the founder of the Jewish people, as God promised in Genesis 12, 15, 17.
- So Abraham's '57' must be debited against the 2100 owed Israel, such that ~
- Israel still gets her 2100 years, but 57 years prior to 4200 from Adam, a 'time of the Gentiles' must be inserted to 'repay' that credit.
- Again, the actual years owed are 54; hence the Tribulation is split, the first half being for Israel, and the last half being against her.
- All this was hard-coded into the Mosaic Law as Jubilee, Passover, Pentecost.
- So the 57, sometimes expressed as 56 to exclude date of entry or exit, is the most prominent feature in Hebrew meter.
- Messiah thus had to die by 4200 - 57 years = the 1000th anniversary of David's Death; for that as well, was the OUTER LIMIT of Time for Israel.
- Hence Daniel leaves the extra 57 in ellipsis. It is excluded from his summed tally, by 9:19. (Noah's too-early 54 acts like the 57-day PRE-Flood warning period for the Jews, and is the precedence for Passover WEEK plus Pentecost = 57 days, Numbers 28:26ff. Noah had entered the boat on the equivalent of Pentecost, see http://www.brainout.net/FloodChronoREVISED.doc.)
Now, about 'Year'. Just before Moses dies at the beginning of the 1051st year after the Flood, he crafts the Psalm 90 Meter of Time for Israel to recall: so she'd know what Time it is. He crafts Psalm 90 to reconcile to both 490 and a 'Year', precedence of the Flood Year, as she long knew from the Mosaic Law: 490 = 364 + 70 + 56 aka 420 + 70.
[365+57, from Noah's birthday to his exit from the Ark, minus days of entry and exit = 420. Noah was born on what would become Passover. Thus Israel could recall her timing of Passover Week plus Pentecost as akin to the 57 days prior to Noah's entry into the Ark, and 57 days after his birthday, when he left. Flood's Year became the Pattern of History and Israel's calendar. See Jack Lewis' compilation of the mss and ancient commentary, http://books.google.com/books/about/A_study_of_the_interpretation_of_Noah_an.html?id=mO_H2lVTyhkC.]
Hence Daniel 9:14-19 spans 365 years, 57 of which are in ellipsis at the end. As we saw from the disparity between Time Track 1 and 2 in Note C, Daniel 9:7 started with a disparity of 252 years. It dwindled down to 70 years, by Daniel 9:14. Disparity finally ends at 57, by Daniel 9:19; so his final syllable sum of 742, reflects the 56 shortfall (minus day of exit).
Moses used 350, to stress Israel's 'Year' would fall short by an additional 14 (sum 364 excludes the day of exit, since that would be the Millennium). Isaiah 53 had used 462 and says the same thing, accounting instead from the 490 system; hence the double-debit of 14 aka 21 years Rebuilding plus the prophesied extra 7-year shortfall due to missed sabbatical years.
Daniel in effect now balances both to 'Year' and to 490. We've seen from the Chronology Chart how he reconciles to 490. Now we're seeing how he does it to 'Year'. [It took only seven years to build the First Temple, but it wasn't dedicated until the beginning of the 21st year, 1Kings 6 - 8. Israel would spend the doubled sevens in hiatus. So too, she built the 2nd Temple foundation as soon as she got settled in the Land, finishing the foundation on 24 Chislev 537BC, Ezra 3:1, 6-11 compared with Daniel 5:31, Haggai 2. Then did nothing, as the neighbors took advantage of Cyrus' absence, stirring up trouble (Ezra 4, etc).]
So Daniel 9:14-19's Petition To Restore Time explicitly runs 308 syllables: 742 - 434 = 308, # of days Noah was in Ark on his 601st birthday (use LXX text for the numbers, see http://www.brainout.net/FloodChronoREVISED.doc.). Then in ellipsis, + 57 = days Noah waited after his birthday before God told him to leave, Gen 8:13-14.
Idea: life down here is like being in the Ark. Paul will use that 'Year' doctrine, to create four metered 'quarters' for Church, in Ephesians 1:3-14. He already likened the Ark Time to pregnancy, in Romans 8. (In Greek; it's not clear in English, except that KJV's 'travail' helps you notice a pregnancy analogy.) He makes 'pregnancy' his meter in Ephesians 1:3-14, too. Bride of Christ ๐ฐโโ๏ธ must bear kids, since Christ was pregnant with her, on the Cross. She was birthed due to His Death, so now is used to birth the Brith Bridge back to the Rebirth of Israel in the Millennium, so to fulfill all those OT promises. It's the Wifely thing to do.
Daniel also seems to know Israel will reject Messiah: Daniel 9:19's 47 = 40 years Temple stands to reimburse 'the Land' for Israel's late entry (see Paul account it in Acts 13:20ff). Plus, the Tribulation. [Paul tags the 47, in his fifth clause of Ephesians 1:3.]
So you'll notice in Daniel 9:18 and 19, TWO SEVENS are severally accounted; both of them must play post-Messiah's Advent. Once He arrives and successfully pays, Time renews.
Those TWO SEVENS were the overage, so are accounted net. There were, a total of five. The third seven was another hiatus of seven years (making 14, gross); but it was offset by a fourth seven, the time spent actually rebuilding the Temple seven years (537BC plus 521 through end of 516BC, finishing 3 Adar, Ezra 6:15). You could instead account the second of the TWO SEVENS as the actual rebuilding time instead of hiatal time. Here, I just treated the values on a first in, first out basis. It's clear Daniel netted the values and why, but I'm not sure whether he did it by character, or by occurrence-in-time. So I chose the latter.
The fifth seven is the Tribulation. In other accounting bases the third and fourth sevens either add to or offset the first TWO SEVENS, so can be confusing. With respect to the 490, the Tribulation was always part of the last 57 years, since Abraham matured 53.5 years early; so his 'credit' is repaid the Gentiles during that time, leaving the 7 year piece as half-Gentile, half-Jewish in terms of people 'owed'. The other 50 was separately promised for Harvesting the Gentiles and hence the basis for Jubilee and Pentecost in the Mosaic Law; but it plays 'inside' the 57. Hence the accounting issues with respect to the first TWO SEVENS during the hiatal temple rebuilding ๐๏ธ period, have been knotty to explain. But hopefully you now see their import, and Daniel's accounting of them.
For you see Daniel's cry, verse 19: For Your city and Your people are called by YOUR Name! You now know he's got the goyim in mind, all salvation hangs on God defending His People, never mind they are wrong, what about the Gentiles who need to hear, Isaiah 52:15; who need the Temple up and running during the upcoming voting period ๐ณ๏ธ, 467-397BC? WHAT ABOUT THE TIME OWED THE GENTILES, who need to Hope In His Name! Sheer Numbers 14:12ff reasoning, just like Moses.
This, prayed by a guy enslaved in a golden cage for 70 years. No evidence he married or had a social life. In charge of one of the greatest kingdoms of the ancient world. Discharged, from 562-539BC when mene mene tekel upharsin, Nebuchadnezzar's nasty grandkid who desecrated Temple goblets, was that same night slain by a long-besieging Gobyras; and then, Daniel was put in charge by an uncle of Cyrus, Darius the Mede, who became Daniel's friend; who died beginning Daniel 10. Daniel was retired, afterwards. (Hence his three weeks of no nice food or washing. Daniel 10:1 is a notarial declaration just after Darius died, followed by Daniel's own written testimony.) So, now in his 90's, Daniel again witnessed court intrigues over Cambyses, while Cyrus too was off campaigning, during which he'd die (530BC). [Daniel 1, three years of training for service, means Daniel had to be 17 or 27 when taken. Age for government service was either 20 or 30. By Daniel 9, he's been in captivity for 70 years.]
Due to Daniel's prayer, you and I are alive today. And now you know the meaning of '47', you know he had us in mind. Isaiah 52:15 is a Decree that the goyim who never heard of Him will know and well understand Him. It's 35 syllables. Daniel of course knew that. So notice: 47-12=35. And 35, is half a vote. Here, Daniel's. Just as Moses voted in Numbers 14:12-19, Psalm 90:12-15, and bid the Jews vote in Psalm 90:16+17. So a Jew of the 12 tribes now logs his vote, as a plea for God to vote His '35', too. Based on, the Gentiles. So God voted 'Yes'. And we Church, thus exist. All this will be the theme of Eph1:3-14, Paul playing Daniel, in Eph1:15-23, 3:15-19. It's the Wifely Thing to do.
People don't balance Bible's numbers, dismiss Revelation as allegorical, are slipshod with prophecy passages; so they don't accurately account for pre-Trib Rapture, even if they believe in it. Which, most Christians don't. Meter here dispels all arguments and alternatives: Tribulation has been owed Israel long before Church existed, due to Abraham, so Rapture can ONLY be pre-Trib. We only exist due to that same fact: Israel is owed the Time, we are the Bridge Back to that Time, so Christ will arrive ON Time for the PROMISED TIME OWED HIM. So it's not about how much we should suffer, but about How Much He Already DID Suffer.
Moreover, we begin to appreciate better, the fact that God keeps His Promises. If by contrast we blithely butcher the OT to claim that Church takes over from Israel, like Harold Camping did for his goofball Doomsday predictions (see http://www.brainout.net/CampingTimelineGaffes1.doc and http://www.brainout.net/CampingTimelineGaffes2.doc), we spit in His Face. We call Him a liar. We make Israel think that Christ is her enemy. Which we are, not Him. So we become His enemy, and must be punished. So then whatever we correctly said about Him, also looks wrong. It's time to stop compromising the Bible in the name of Christian unity and start unifying with God's Word. Then the Jews will see how He vindicates their hope. It's the Wifely thing, to do!
Once upon a time, Israel learned Bible meter like we learn our ABC's. To some extent, she still does. Wouldn't it be nice if we Christians learned it? Then we'd not be so confused or bored, reading Bible! End Commercial Message.
Pronunciation Notes
Generally, any language deteriorates over time in three ways:
- Speech is slurred by later generations, so both consonants and vowels tend to lose their once-distinctive sounds. So for example, different 'a' sounds would tend to slur into just one 'a' sound by lazy speakers; 'h' or 't' sounds made in different parts of the mouth would tend to all sound the same, being sounded alike in the same part of the mouth.
- Syllables are more rushed due to laziness-of-speech by later generations, often resulting in contractions in the later speech which the ancient speech did not have. So, for example, 'shema', the command to 'hear' in Deuteronomy 6:4, is called 'sh'ma' today, with a flat 'a' (like in Baal).
- Ancient vowels including dipthongs were often compounds of their stand-alone sounds, with crisp pronunciation of each standalone vowel; but in later, lazier speech the ending sound of the vowel (or diphthong) tended to 'take over'. So for example, an 'ai' combination was pronounced ah+ee, but treated as one syllable. In later speech, the 'ee' sound 'takes over' and the 'ah' sound is swallowed.
Consequently, to parse ancient Bible Hebrew, care must be taken not to use modern Hebrew conventions; sadly, even seminaries today give into using modern Hebrew speech patterns, passing them off as ancient; the same sad political game is played with Bible Greek. Thus you miss important meter information, and have the confusing and useless debates going on today over what is Bible text, whether it has meter, etc. Better scholars know to ignore the push by modern Hebrew and Greek 'scholars' to use their modern tongue versus the Bible's own. This battle has gone on for centuries. Apparently those wanting us to adopt the modern pronunciation consider Bible THEIR property because its language is similar; so they want to claim the way THEY say it, is THE way to say it. Of course, then they want to claim THEIR interpretation of it, is THE interpretation of it, since it is written in THEIR language.
Seminaries do warn their students to disregard all diacritical marks in the Bible (vowel points and Greek marks for accents or pronunciation). However in practice often this warning goes unheeded. Thus mistranslations occur. ('Famously in James 4:5, where pros is mistakenly capitalized, so modern readers think a) James is quoting, and b) is starting a new sentence. He's not doing either. The fact that pros takes the accusative of hostility is also ignored by readers of the Greek text, hence the mistranslation turns the Holy Spirit into a sinner, and everyone scratches his head!)
That being said, there is ancient elision where the ending of a previous word is much like the beginning of the next, and the waw (now called 'vav') was often swallowed or piggybacked as a slight breath onto the word it prefixed, so is not accounted as a separate syllable. Also, in poetic speech for the sake of euphony or flow, elision will occur. But it will be sparing. Especially in legal speech, you don't assume elision or contraction. So just try to say the words aloud; you'll readily see when elision or contraction is necessary. That's how I parsed the text here, as well as for Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53.
Parsing speech should be natural, never artificial. Daniel is talking; Isaiah was talking; Moses was talking; Paul is talking. So the natural speech, not some artificial construct, should be used, in Bible. People memorized it that way, so we should parse it that way, too. Else we'll miss what God is saying, via the meter.
So you might want to revise the parsing, here; then you'll have to account for Daniel's meter, afresh. Even one syllable's change might alter the tracking. Thus we see Bible Hebrew meter is self-auditing: if I made a mistake in counting, you'll know!

Daniel uses 58's in Daniel 9:11+12, to show Israel missed her calendar; but he uses the 56 as a 490-56, in his cumulative syllable count from Daniel 9:4 through 9:13. He also uses 62, in Daniel 9:16. Moses used 57 in Psalm 90:7 to 9, see the pregnant content tie; also 56 in Psalm 90:9+10, 13 to 15, 16+17; Isaiah 53:1+2, 5+6, 9+11 also uses 56.

The internet address of this page, is http://www.brainout.net/Dan924HebParsed.pdf. Daniel's prayer is parsed on page 2 of http://www.brainout.net/DAN9V4-19HebOnePagerPARSED.RTF
Daniel 9:13's meter was 49 syllables, cum=434, hence 7 sevens and 62 sevens to 'reimburse'. Cute. Notice how this meter also Paul 'talks to' this 56 meter in his opening dateline, Christ as the '56' of history (= Vote Crucial). Paul also ends Eph 1:3-14 with a 56 left out (490-56=434). Your 57th year begins on your 56th birthday, get it?
Notice how the doctrinal meanings of the numbers 'match' word content, i.e., when about man or sin, 6 syllables; a perfecting/completion, 7; Trinity/Holiness, trebling of sevens or 9. This is a common feature of all Bible Hebrew meter, to match syllable count to doctrinal meaning, per clause.
Daniel 9:25 and Daniel 9:26 are each 57 syllables; Dan9:25-27, feature flanking 14's, post Messiah's birth. Daniel 9:27 balances to '54', sum of the years owed to Gentiles for Abraham's too-early maturation, showing they all were 'reimbursed' by Trib's end.
- Same as the number of days INCLUDING ALL OF Passover, and Pentecost; INCLUDING ALL OF Pentecost, and 9th Av.
- Same doubled 57's period as Titus' final assault on the Temple in 70AD. [According to historians, Titus began his final assault ON Passover start, and ended on 9th Av. Hence, 114 days. Isaiah used this same doubling in Isaiah 53:1+2, 5+6. Moses piggybacked the 57 on a 56 in Psalm 90:7-10: verses 7 through 9 = 57, verses 9 + 10 = 56.]
- The 14's each stand for Hypostatic Union, nexus, turning point in history. (Noah's beginning and ending 7's, Jacob's 14 years, Joseph's fat-and-lean years, etc). Trebling depicts Trinity. Quadrupling = Completeness. Mirroring = God answers Moses' prayer in Psalm 90:15, 'as many as'. (Paul crafts his 14's off Daniel 9:26; Paul 'plays' Daniel to pray as Daniel did, in Eph1:15-23, 3:15-19 (bookends). So Paul uses two 14's and 3 sevens = 3.5 14's, instead of Dan9:25's four. Guess what the left-out 7 represents.)
- See also meters of Psalm 90:11-13, 9+10, and especially 90:16+17, to which the 14 and the 56 are antiphonal; as well as Isaiah 53:1+2, 5+6, to which this is a reply. (Those Isaiah verses also sum 56 syllables each, and cover the juridical cause of 1st Temple downfall=Manasseh, 2Kings 21:10ff, 2Kings 23:26ff, 24:3ff; and 586-530BC Temple Down, respectively. Daniel prays at the beginning of 538BC or at the end of 539BC, syllable hiphgi(a) in Isaiah 53:6. Isaiah 53:9, 11 each sum 28, are Decrees, and sum = 56.)
- The second 57 also answers Daniel 9:13, since there Daniel tagged Isaiah 53:2 (whose chronology meter, ref'd Manasseh). For Messiah was to die 57 years prior to the end of the second 2100 from Adam's Fall, for the Harvesting of Gentiles plus Tribulation, to play out. Even post-Temple, Israel didn't repent, as Dan 9:13 says So his meter 'accounts' for the loss retrospectively. Prospectively, Daniel 9:19, is 8 sevens short from Adam through the end of Millennium (5250/7 = 750).
- Balance test: a rightly-parsed passage sum must evenly divide by 7 and show doctrinally-meaningful, Divine Convergence. So: 63 + 57 + 57 + 54 = 231 = 33 sevens or 77 threes, and 434 - 231 = 203, Isaiah 53:4's summed syllable count = TEMPLE DOWN, 586BC. (Paul will thus use 33 sevens for the eudokian anaphora sum in Eph1:3-14.) 63 + 57 = 120 = # years from 586BC and the next historical believer voting window (467-397BC, to which Daniel metrically balanced). Each verse's meter is divisible by 3. 63 is 21 threes, prominent in Psalm 90; 54 is 18 threes; 57 is 19 threes. See the Trinity symmetry?
(Paul apes this style too, in his epainon anaphora, 109 threes. So the anaphora are antiphonal, and 'tag' Daniel 9:24-27.) The 'equidistance' palindrome test passed in the middle: God's two 57's 'answer' Daniel's two 58's, to make Israel end 'on time.'
Matthew 24 & 25 Poetic Meter
Prophecy of Christian Impact on World During Church Age
Majority of the meter documentation has been ported from brainout's Matthew 24 & 25 meter PDF. I've taken the liberty to update some of the dead links, formatting and text, therefore most of the commentary is not my own.
Luke 21 dateline meter plays on 28 (writing 28 years after Christ died, 35 years until pre-Church Millennium) and 63 (= 28 + 35), since Christ spoke Matthew 24~25 and Luke 21 63 years before the pre-Church Millennium (excluding the year He spoke). Luke and Paul play on 63, the first meter in Bible (Genesis 1). Luke thus uses 1085 meter (1050 + 35), same style (Luke was 35 years from Millennium at writing, and Christ was 63).
Matthew 24 ~ 25 anaphora parse as separate clauses; seems like แฝ ฯฮน, when present, ends the clause; แฝ ฯฮน introduces content, bullet point to be made, as in legal English 'that:'
- First occurrence of แผฮผแฝดฮฝ ฮปฮญฮณฯ แฝฮผแฟฮฝ, is not counted. The anaphora count begins after it ends. Its 'map' is the Amen Anaphora.
- Second or middle anaphora is 'roped', the count beginning at its own beginning, and ending at the end of the 'end' of the last anaphora.
- Here, the 'middle' is at 1540 = 1570 AD, the beginning of the English Reformation. The 'roping' is an overlap of 430 syllables = years starting at 1110, and corresponds to the years Israel was in Egypt, Exodus 12:40-41. So an 'exodus' (of Bible, faith, freedom) seems depicted at the 1570 AD mark, which is the end of the third 490 after Christ's death, and is the second 70-year voting period ๐ณ๏ธ (joining the two 490's in a 1050). You can see this in GeneYrs.xls. The 'map' overlap at 2006 (2036 AD), implies that Bible Freedom will be soon ending. Or something else spiritually bad.
This seems to be the chapter from which Paul draws his own anaphoric structure for Ephesians 1:3-14, which is also on the freeing of the Bible, the epainon anaphora from syllables = AD years 133-434, explained on pages 128ff. Paul uses the same roping style as here in Matthew, though Paul's epainon anaphora only occurs three times. Paul's middle is 320-334 (syllable = AD year), centering on Constantine, the precursor of Revelation 17 harlot political Christianity we see exhibited through MAGA and Christian Nationalism.
Here in Matthew, the phrase แผฮผแฝดฮฝ ฮปฮญฮณฯ แฝฮผแฟฮฝ, anaphora occurs three times per chapter. Syllable/year counts between these phrases, are in trinity or sevening meter. Seven means promise, and three stresses the agreement of trinity on whatever is tri-metered (idea of Them watching it, protecting, etc).
If you subtract 63 (ending first use of แผฮผแฝดฮฝ ฮปฮญฮณฯ แฝฮผแฟฮฝ, in Matthew 24:2) from the 1540 count in Matthew 24:47, result is you get 1477 = 211 sevens. Notice therefore the overlap 'in the middle', from 1110 to 1540 (1140 ~ 1570 AD). That period of then-future history is stressed as a turning point, so you know what the Lord is mapping in this timeline: Bible interest causing history for the better (orange differentials under 105), or worse (no orange or only rare orange, so only few individuals are growing). It serves to explain why the rapture doesn't happen; with the text serving, as well as the 'normal' meaning, to satirically comment on the history of Church apostasy worldwide, that year. For example, our '2017' = 1987 (convert to AD by adding 30 to the syllable count). What's that syllable? Matthew 25:11, foolish virgins clamour Lord Lord let us in!

Amen legw humin anaphora Judgment
Matthew 24:2: amen legw humin, syllables 58-63, sevens within itself and to verse 2 Blepw at 58-51; spans 88 ~ 93 AD.
The time when Domitian persecuted Jews, and when John was exiled to Patmos. The persecution was mostly to get money or to be seen as faithful to Rome. It wasn't expressly anti-Christian, but empire-wide, some used the mime plays lewdly mocking Christians then, to excuse, maltreating Christians, much the same as Trump voters maltreat Muslims or people of colour.
- Pre-Church, this was supposed to be the time of the tribulation, starting in 87 and ending in 94. Revelation, was then written to explain why it didn't begin as expected.
Matthew 24:34: amen legw humin, syllables 1111-1116 or 1118 (could place hoti on next line, as Codex Bezae for Mark 13), sevens to verse 33 idete at 1090-1111; spans 1141 ~ 1148 AD.
Christians were expecting Christ's return at the wrong time, so this period registers their attempt to reconcile the fact the rapture/second advent did not happen as wrongly expected.
Matthew 24:47: amen legw humin, syllables 1533-40, sevens from 1538-1118 and to verse 44 ho huios at 1533-1456; spans 1563 ~ 1570 AD.
Reformation and impetus for English reformation, which is the central anaphora. This especially matters due to the Adamic 1540 voting period ๐ณ๏ธ which began 1570 AD, same year as the English reformation. So literally the world hung on the outcome of this period, whether Bible would finally free up for the common man, first time since the cross. Nexus is a pair: between English reformation here, and our own time in 2030 - 41 AD = anaphoric center. Two anaphora precede and two succeed Matthew 25:12, next.
Matthew 25:12: amen legw humin, syllables 2001-6, sevens from hoti at 2000-1538 and to verse 12 apokritheis at 2006-1999; spans 2031 ~ 2036 AD.
Notice it starts the year after the 2000th anniversary of Christ's death (per errant but used by scholars, Roman AUC by Varro/Dionysius Exiguus). Basic character: second reformation, to further what didn't get fixed prior. Specifically, more manuscript discovery needed, too many false doctrines didn't get fixed, Gospel essentially lost again despite widespread clear Bible, too much Popism by the Protestants as well, etc. Closest, nonetheless, to the Deuteronomy 6 and 30 conditions where everyone was supposed to have Bible in the head, promise of Jeremiah 31:31-34 in progress as per Hebrews 8:8-12.
Matthew 25:40: amen legw humin, syllables 2954-9, sevens at 2953-2001, and to verse 40 apokritheis at 2959-2945 (roping to the nearer keyword ho Basileus); spans 2984 ~ 2989 AD.
Whatever this period signifies, it depends on 'our' time now; note distance is doubled vs English reformation-our own time. That implies either a second reformation from now through 2041 will be so productive, another such period won't be needed for nearly 1000 years; or conversely, outcome will be dark. Given 2/3rds productive believer text in Matthew 25:13ff, the former seems more indicated.
Matthew 25:45: amen legw humin, syllables 3158-63, sevens at 3157-2954 and to verse 45 apokritheis at 3163-3149 (implying there should be hiatus); spans 3188 ~ 3193 AD.
Notice the distance between this last amen and the one prior, is half the distance, vs ours back to the English reformation. So again, time from English reformation to now, is of central import, to the future.
Apokritheis (answering as a ruling) Anaphora keyword
Matthew 24:2: apokritheis, syllables 42-5, sevens to verse 1 ho Iesous at 42-7; spans 72 ~ 75 AD.
Masada and other Jerusalem destruction aftermath.
Matthew 24:4: apokritheis, syllables 149-152, distance sevens at 42-147 (implies krasis needed in verse 4), spans 179 ~ 182 AD.
Changeover to Commodus, which for Christians and Jews was a reprieve of sorts. The Rome-First stress under Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, brought with it an 'enthusiasm' for targeting Christians, and the latter's arrogant rebuffs. This is the start of Christian institutionalisation, i.e., when Christianity started to politicize and terrorize its own. These are Commodus' good years, measured from when Aurelius became ill.
Matthew 25:9: apokritheis, syllables 1885-9, sevens at 1885-149, spans 1915 ~ 1919 AD.
World War I (fiscal year Christ uses might be vernal equinox so for our purposes the years are later).
Matthew 25:12: apokritheis, syllables 1995-8, sevens at 1998-1886, spans 2025 ~2028 AD.
Given the foregoing, this period should be one of intense upheaval, even leading to war. We're in about the same fragile psychological situation now, as was Europe just before Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, tangled alliances, especially Russian and Chinese 'deals' globally.
Matthew 25:26: apokritheis, syllables 2454-7, sevens at 2457-1995, spans 2484 ~ 2487 AD.
Matthew 25:37: apokritheis, syllables 2856-61, sevens at 2856-2457, spans 2886 ~ 2891 AD.
Matthew 25:40: apokritheis, syllables 2941-44, sevens at 2941-2856, spans 2971 ~ 2974 AD.
Matthew 25:44: apokritheis, syllables 3097-102, sevens at 3102-2941, spans 3127 ~ 3132 AD.
Matthew 25:45: apokritheis, syllables 3148-53, sevens at 3153-3097, spans 3178 ~ 3183 AD.
Blepw/horaw Anaphora
(satire on seeing, they don't see)
Matthew 24:2: Blepw/horaw, syllables 51-3, sevens to apokritheis in verse 2 at 53-46 (implies latter should not be elided); spans 81-3 AD.
Start of Domitian. Matthew uses blepw satirically, to mark emperor death; here, Titus in '81. Ephesians 1, Luke, Mark and Revelation do the same, but not always with the same keyword (Mark and Revelation often use kai to play on kaiser cut off, Paul selects the eta in thelematos).
Matthew 24:4: Blepw/horaw, syllables 160-2, sevens at 159-54, spans 190 ~ 192 AD.
End of Commodus, and of course he too dies end 192. Yikes. This is when apostate Christianity normalizes.
Matthew 24:6: Blepw/horaw, syllables 219-21, sevens at 219-163, spans 249 ~ 251 AD.
Seven emperors came and went during these three years, known as 'Crisis of the Third Century'.
Matthew 24:15: Blepw/horaw, syllables 459-61, sevens at 459-221, spans 489 ~ 491 AD.
Only three die, most notably Zeno; triggering more musical chairs for the purple. The Ostrogoths and Odovacer were busy fighting over who rules Italy, too. So what you saw, was land being desolated by war and intrigue. Time to move out.
Matthew 24:30: Blepw/horaw, syllables 952-4, sevens at 952-462, spans 982 ~ 984 AD.
Otto II dies here; he is featured in Mark 13 and Revelation 17 as paradigmal for the rest of history (uncertain as to why).
Matthew 24:33: Blepw/horaw, syllables 1090-2, sevens at 1092-952, spans 1120 ~ 1122 AD.
In the Byzantine Empire, John II Komnenos consolidated power within his family, thus set about trying to recover lost territory (renovatio). In the West, Henry V finally relinquished the long-used power by kings over the clergy (to the extent of making them an arm of the government doing the emperor's bidding, institutionalized since Otto I). Consequently, the papacy and its many tentacles, were finally free of formal imperial control, perhaps for the first time since Pepin the Short or Charlemagne. In Jerusalem, the Latins were then ascendant, and Baldwin II was on the throne; yet during these years he captured the Temple Mount, only to find himself captured as well (and later freed). He was also in conflict with John, over Antioch. So what everyone saw was war, even though the Temple Mount should have attracted the most interest. The Templars were just founded on it; they end up being a thorn in the side of everyone. Presumably the booty they acquired, included Bible manuscripts which were disseminated?
Surely the monasteries were going through their third major reform, at least in France and England. Benedictine Rule which started in the 500s, collapsed; it was renewed as Cluny in the 800s and Cistercian by the 1000s; 20 years after this clause, the first Cistercian Pope will be installed; then he will spend most of his life chased from his own see, by rebelling Italians who wanted no more popes. Seeds of that later rebellion, are sewn here; due to monks and laity alike deciding, you know what, we just want to learn what Bible says. Hence these years see, birthed in the College of Paris, the advent of small Bibles with copious notes (refer to: Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible" for more information), meaning of Hebrew names; pocket sized for the convenience, not only of ubiquitous Franciscan and Dominican friars whose orders commissioned them; but for the sake of many laity, too. Here begins what we would see as our modern Bible, replete with chapters and verses, concordances and indexes. It literally changed the world, to suddenly have your own personal Bible cheaply, which you could hold in one hand and read yourself. Thus began human independence from clergy hearsay, and the inevitable confusion which any newborn freedom will undergo. The Reformation thus becomes inevitable; in these early days of yet-hand-copied Bibles; its progress, perhaps mercifully, is slow.
Matthew 25:20: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2238-9, sevens at 2238-1090, spans 2268 ~ 2269 AD.

Semeion Anaphora
(sarcastic, generation always seeking a sign verse)
Matthew 24:3: semeion, syllables 129-32, sevens at prior amen, 128-58; spans 159 ~ 162 AD.
Antonius Pius dies and troops begin to bring back to Rome, some form of plague. It will keep recurring, and is thought to have originated in China. Not sure what else to list, here. Once the plague starts, Christians and Jews are blamed as its cause, so persecutions begin; but they aren't ordered.
Matthew 24:24: semeion, syllables 727-29, sevens at 727-132, spans 757 ~ 759 AD.
Constantine V was in the process of enforcing his 754 Council prohibiting iconoclasm. Mark makes this text an anaphoric center, setting it a few years later: as a sequel, since the daughter-in-law of Constantine V renewed icon worship which Constantine V quelled. So here in 757-9, the Byzantine Empire is working with the aftermath of the Hieria Council which banned icon worship back in 754 (trying, the wrong way, to obey Matthew 24:24); Constantine V himself wars with the Bulgars (and wins).
- In the West, these years cover Pepin the Short, newly crowned a few years prior by the Pope, coming to rescue him; Pepin makes the so-called Donation of Pepin, which is really a quid pro quo; the papacy's satellite monasteries and clergy, come under progressive Frankish rule until 1120 AD.
Matthew 24:30: semeion, syllables 923-6, sevens at 923-727, spans 953 ~ 956 AD.
Constantine VII 7 years after he's freed from regents, but why these years? Arab temporary invasion started during these years, but was largely reconquered by the Byzantine Empire in 957-9. Whole reign is central in Mark 13 / Revelation 17, also via parousia tie, but how do their snippets intersect and elaborate on this one? Otto II is born 955 (dates vary 1 ~ 3 years by source); his father will become the Holy Roman Emperor 7 years later, which Luke 21, Mark 13, and Revelation 17 focus on. To his dad, the 'son born' would be regarded as a sign; daddy wanted to revive Rome. There was no Holy Roman Emperor during this time; the various princelings were all fighting both each other, and migrating tribes; Otto defeats the Hungarians, so consolidates.
Iesous Kristos Anaphora
(savior = Iesous, anointed = kristos; so sarcasm, regarding true vs. false christs)
Matthew 24:1: Iesous/kristos, syllables 5-7, ends at first seven; spans 35 ~ 37 AD.
Original deadline for His death, forecast since David died, was 37 AD (1000th anniversary of David's death, the end of Daniel 9:26 if you properly used solar years instead of lunar, properly parsed 2 Samuel 23). = The year Tiberius dies and Caligula begins, Pilate thus reprieved of his reprimand. 57 years later, was supposed to begin the millennium, had there been no Church. Ephesians 1:3d tags this, so align Paul's writeup starting here? But you see the 'leaving' wit, right?
Matthew 24:4: Iesous/Kristos, syllables 153-5, sevens at 154-7, spans 183 ~ 185 AD.
Commodus and the Church turn very bad, lording it over others and (Church) seeking to persecute dissent, both thinking themselves as the 'savior' and everyone else as untermenschen. Same problem as Tiberius with Sejanus, during this time. Freed up to be goofball, by 185 Commodus begins to play up being a 'son of Hercules'. He taxed the Senate to give to the people, starting maybe 185?
Matthew 24:5: Iesous/Kristos, syllables 192-4, sevens at 192-157, spans 222 ~ 224 AD.
Witty sarcasm, here. Expecting a savior, folks riot in Rome (refer to: St. Hippolytus and the Church of Rome in the earlier part of the third century : from the newly-discovered Philosophumena) claiming "the second coming is now!" based on an incorrect calculation of when the year 1000 was to occur (using Varro's ab urbe condita); a goofball Christian aims to rebut: oh, the Second advent is far away, politically manipulates the date. Also, Origen was in the middle of entertaining the Severan mothers, causing others to entertain the idea they will save Rome by ousting the mothers; so Elagabulus is killed in 222, and a different boy who loves lares, is installed. Resulting purge of Christians deprives Callistus of his life; Peter gets put on a Roman pope (really bishop's, refer to: "Bishop Lists: Formation of Apostolic Succession of Bishops in Ecclesiastical Crises (Gorgias Dissertations)") list for the first time (to make Christianity look both Roman and old), ousting Paul who formerly was on the list: by Julius Africanus, maybe-buddy of Demetrius of Alexandria, who envied Origen.
Matthew 24:23: Iesous/Kristos, syllables 694-6, sevens at 696-192, spans 724 ~726 AD.
Leo III, seven years after he started ruling, first iconclast (back-to-Bible) movement in the Byzantine Empire; verse wryly echoes their own arguments against icondules; Mark 13 makes this time an anaphoric center for the aftermath when Leo dies. Also, success in again repelling the Arabs so Bible isn't destroyed (from God's perspective that would be key).
Parousia Anaphora
(God 'appears' through you learning His Word)
Matthew 24:3: parousia, syllables 135-8, sevens to prior amen at 135-58; spans 165 ~ 168 AD.
Start of the Antonine plagues. Many would interpret them as a 'sign' of the 'end'. Jews and Christians were blamed by the mobs (the no-other-god tenet of both groups seen as impious, even 'atheist', in Roman eyes). Some persecution begins, thus reinforcing 'sign' and 'appearance' of Lord to those persecuted. Also the 'sign' of more Bible dissemination, as God 'appears' to you via His Word (aphorism starts in Numbers 6 based on Moses' face when Lord appeared to him, to provide yet more Word).
Matthew 24:27: parousia, syllables 822-6, sevens at 821-135, spans 852 ~ 856 AD.
Michael III finally gets independence in March 856, away from his regents. Unfortunately, he does it by means of murder in 855, so that's how he too will die. However, during his reign his counterpart Charles the Bald in the northwest, ends up conquering Moravia, asks Michael III for some missionaries who invent what we call the Cyrillic alphabet after one of them, thus evangelising via a new Bible translation not only Moravia, but most of the Balkans and what will end up being called the Russias. All that is about seven years future of this time's end, so the clause ends with the very year Moravians are evangelised; which year, is three years after Ruskies raided the outskirts of Byzantium especially the monasteries, while yet pagans, and likely made off with many Bible manuscripts the monks were then copying for customers; Bibles richly illustrated and bound, so booty the pagans couldn't read... until three years later when the monks sent who had maybe only the Latin to work with, owing to the theft... got those Bibles back, given them by a now-grateful and reading, set of Russian converts, to whom the Lord thus 'appeared'. And it all starts here, in 852-6, because Michael III is freed up to say 'yes' to Charles.
Matthew 24:30a: parousia, syllables 927-33, sevens at 927-822, spans 957 ~ 963 AD.
Yay, decenary of Constantine VII's own independence, maybe his son's 21st year, free of conflict with his erstwhile regents and brothers-in-law, no small thanks to his wife, the daughter of one of the regents who wanted to appear to 'New Rome' as its savior, for a little too long. As a result, Constantine VII keeps writing, and his wife runs the day-to-day. These seven years also mark, for the first time since Leo III, Arabs driven out of the Empire. Additionally, fresh Russkie royal conversions occur, to reduce their post-conversion raids on the Byzantine Empire. Constantine VII dies in 959, so his parousia is real and eternal. End is marked by his son's (Romanos II) death in 963; his widow marries one of the generals, to protect her babies; her name is Theophanu. Both Mark 13 and Revelation 17 focus on her 'appearance', with Revelation 17 ending its chapter on play of the two Theophanu's.
Matthew 24:30b: parousia, syllables 955-61, sevens at 955-927, spans 985 ~ 991 AD.
One of those babies, Basil II, undertakes to make himself the savior of the Byzantine Empire and reconquers much of the former glory, only to die childless and forever single. During these years, he puts down his many usurpers (story should be a movie); finally has independence; by the end, him faking his sister as bride to quell Bulgarians, was reversed; he instead marries her off to Russia, her appearance causing conversion of bridegroom Vladimir I, already many-wived. This sets up two or more centuries of attempts by both Bulgars and Russians to conquer Byzantium as now vaguely their right by marriage. Even Otto I got a Byzantine princess bride to 'appear' back in 972: yet another Theophanu, married to Otto II, who was obsessed with the millennium; he had his own parousia, two years before this clause begins. Mark 13 and Revelation 17 focus on this couple, with Mark 13:26 bracketing same text to prior parental source, Constantine VII (same language as Matthew 24:30 here). At ton huion, Louis V reigns and dies, ending Carolingians; Vladimir I seeks a new religion (page 22 of A History of Russian Christianity, Vol. I: From the Earliest Years through Tsar Ivan IV, with more detail). How biting. By tou, he converts and marries Anna Porphyrogenita, daughter of Romanos II and Theophanu.
Matthew 24:37: parousia, syllables 1214-25, sevens at 1214-955, spans 1244 ~ 1255 AD.
Trojan-horse sacking of Byzantium yielded inter alia, many Greek manuscripts going to the West, in no small part due to pecuniary needs of the Latin Emperors, resulting in Byzantine's 'kingdom' extent, now barely beyond Constantinople's walls. These years mark the turning point, when the Greeks begin to take it back. Meanwhile, the Latin rulers are busy selling every relic (of which Bible is considered), for money to fight Arabs and Europeans who want Byzantium too, especially the now-normalized Norman French and a few 'Fredricks'. So Bible manuscripts appear all over Europe, not incidentally Spain where the Reconquista ends everywhere but Granada. Jews appear all over too, as the Reconquista means their expulsion; so nations nearby... echo. So many Jews go to Milan, Poland: these areas end up exempted from the Black Plagues, which appear about 93-8 years after this clause. That mid-tribulation-millennium's meter irony goes unnoticed, as Europe is busy with its new toy's appearance: Paris/Milan Bibles (refer to: Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible" for more information), precursor of our modern form; by-friars portable, cheaper, and thus so popular, there are laws restricting its sale; so widely read and discussed, now folks gab: "oh maybe the Lord will appear in 1260 AD, given Daniel 12"! Of course when He didn't, they stopped reading Word and started persecuting Jews for not converting in time. So those plagues will flood in waves, to wipe out the fourth generation saying no...
Matthew 24:39: parousia, syllables 1298-1309, sevens at 1309-1225, spans 1328 ~ 1339 AD.
Given the negative volition, God again becomes a political tool, so by the end of this period everyone starts warring in His name. The formal Crusades ended in the Levant by 1291, the Arabs victorious; so now the crusaders, who enjoyed cannibalizing each other in the prior two crusades, now ramp it up; calling everyone a heretic, while popes play musical chairs. Byzantium was retaken by the Greeks in 1261; by now, they decline to asebes-astheneia in the first Venetian war, so Mark 13 will end at its aftermath (1311). Patient terminal, waiting coup de grace by the Arabs. Meanwhile, Normans in Britain/France are busy claiming they ought to run the place. So this Bible clause highlights juridical impetus for the Black Plagues (many, first one worst then in waves after) that will halve Europe... yet not stop the Hundred Years' War. Oh well. Sevening here is key: back in 1255, God was popular to learn, though misinterpreted. By the end, He's just a flag you wave, to feel holy.
Matthew 24:44: parousia, syllables 1456-62, sevens at 1456-1309, spans 1486 ~ 1492 AD.
And that's why you have Joan of Arc. Not Word, not Bible, but a slip of a girl whose visions are given weight to deflect attention on her not-Word; ended, sorta, the Hundred Years' War. She appeared, not Him. Fortunately for us, not everyone was agog with her signs and wonders, but instead prepared the Word in all those monasteries collecting dust; so now 56 years later, comes a sizeable revolt against popes and kings telling 'us' how to worship, chaining Bible; so for every Wycliffe and Hus (marked in Matthew by the first kurios, q.v), are thousands of peasants or even nobles, who want to read scripture ourselves. So right on cue, mirroring the same span as Joan lived, arrives the real vision, movable-type printing press to churn out Bibles by the hundreds. So now Byzantium's Bibles largely rescued a century prior, can be printed; given a much-depopulated yet repopulating Europe, folks got time and means to actually read it. Clerics objected of course, and so again cannibalizing infra crusades refuel; but mass interest now too widespread, means to control distribution of Bible, too weak. And right on time too, there's a New World to colonize, handy escape from persecution; even if you were imprisoned on a boat sent there. Sometimes slavery, is freedom.
Matthew 25:14: parousia, syllables 2035-7, sevens at 2037-1456, spans 2065 ~ 2067 AD.
As we've seen in all previous parousia, there is a preceding period of positive volition to God turned negative, warring, then evangelization; as a result, He 'appears' to those evangelized. Here, that result will last 600 years, to 2668. So our time is pivotal, to that outcome.
Matthew 25:24: parousia, syllables 2406-8, sevens at 2408-2037, spans 2436 ~ 2438 AD.
Matthew 25:31: parousia, syllables 2632-8, sevens at 2632-2408, spans 2662 ~ 2668 AD.
Kurios/numphios/Basileus Anaphora Trio
(true vs. false spouse/ruler/christ and who you choose to husband your decisions)
Matthew 24:42: kurios, syllables 1373-5, sevens to verse 39 parousia at 1375-1298; spans 1403 ~ 1405 AD.
Oh, how apt the text: "what slave will become faithful and wise, willing for the 'Peggity' of the unwashed, to teach them?" Well, how about John Wycliffe and Jan Hus? So the latter, inspired by the former, launches real Bible teaching in Moravia; this, triggered the Reformation. These years, Jan Hus spent translating Bible from Greek and Wycliffe, into Czech; teaching the meanwhile, apart from and hostile to, the papacy. Concurrently in England, pressure to outlaw Wycliffe's first-ever English translation of the Bible, motivates King Henry IV who liked his Wycliffite, to ban it. Between both lands, awareness of alternatives to popes and monks, generates interest in Bible translation, as the Italian renaissance fruits Hebrew manuscripts Jews in Milan, avidly copy and sell. Thus the Lord has a renewed 'advent' in believer hearts. It would last long enough for Gutenberg and the official Reformation, to take off.
- All kurios references in Matthew 24 ~ 25 denote this theme, each occurrence marking a specific teacher, Bible translation or manuscript find. Notice how they are grouped. He's been Lord (God) forever, comes to earth as bridegroom, rejected by the firstborn, Israel; so now out on the highways and byways, to collect harem Church. Into which, anyone who believes is born again, whether Jew or Gentile of flesh. Belief in Christ is betrothal; when He comes to collect the bride, He's King of Kings. When He comes back to earth to inaugurate the millennium, He's King of Israel, and she's queen of the nations; she divorced Him, but not He, her. So like Vashti, she retains her position. Church the new Esther, rules beside Him, not over Israel. As a good wife, the Church will be responsible for keeping the gentiles peaceful, so that Israel will have the 1000 years' of promised peace from her enemies. In the final 50 of that last 1050, Satan & Co. having been jailed the meanwhile, are allowed one last time to attempt takeover, after which they all get their eternal home alone AKA the lake of fire, in their new universe.
- So the question becomes: which christ, which salvation, which doctrine, do you believe? Who husbands your choices? Who's your lord, and who crowns your thoughts?
Matthew 24:45: kurios, syllables 1485-91, sevens at 1485-1373, spans 1515 ~ 1517 AD.
Zwingli, Erasmus, Luther. Reformation starts (officially).
Matthew 24:46: kurios, syllables 1520-22, sevens at 1520-1485, spans 1550 ~ 1552 AD.
John Knox, John Calvin, focus on English Reformation's impetus. Both men were just beginning their ministries.
Matthew 24:48: kurios, syllables 1581-3, sevens at 1583-1520, spans 1611 ~ 1613 AD.
First three editions (page 60 of Henry Cotton's Editions of the Bible and Parts Thereof in English, from the Year MDV. to MDCCCL., Volume 2) of KJV and their teachers. The KJV will be revised every few years thereafter.
Matthew 24:50: kurios, syllables 1610-2, sevens at 1612-1584, spans 1640 ~ 1642 AD.
End of a successful historical voting period ๐ณ๏ธ (else world would have ended), and end of English reformation. During these specific years, Charles I is deposed for trying to usurp how to worship, learn Bible. Begins satirical use of 'false lord/bridegroom' for Matthew 25. Also, first printed book in US, 1640 metered Psalms translation. So this meter could have been known since the Colonies founded.
Matthew 25:11a: kurios, syllables 1985-6, sevens at 1984-1613, spans 2015 ~ 2016 AD.
This is our time; still stands for Bible manuscripts discovery, major change in teaching, false lord Revelation 17 politics (Donald Trump). Sevens to prior numphios at 1986-1944, pregnant distance of 42. Can't be more obvious; same vile politicizing-fetus crowd from the 1960's, now touts Trump as the Anointed (search even in Youtube on 'Seven Mountains' + 'Trump' + 'Anointed', go to rightwingwatch.org and read their collection of apostate Christian snippets or subscribe to them in X (formerly Twitter)). Ann Coulter's: In Trump We Trust, blind to his lies and thefts; X (formerly Twitter) memes depicting him as a hero, Christian praise despite his lewdness and Bible ignorance; his utter disdain for veterans, women, minorities; everything Jesus said do not, he does. Yet mainstream media Christians on TV and radio, constantly praise him as the savior of America. Matthew 25:10-11 is on your TV and X (formerly twitter) feed. Daily. What you don't know, is that the 'Seven Mountains' movement backing Trump, including Rafael Cruz, reverses Revelation 17, thinking God wants to unite Church and State. So, start watching their own videos. Once I realized this, I had to do this Matthew 24 writeup. This is why this period is pivotal to the outcome of Church. Rapture can occur if Church is too apostate and must be recalled, analogous to first temple going down. In which case, Church will not be complete, and Satan wins. That's what Revelation 17 warns. But if you politicize fetuses God says are not yet human (Genesis 2:7, very obvious), then you will reverse Revelation 17 also, with but little satanic 'help' ๐.
Matthew 25:11b: kurios, syllables 1987-8, sevens at 1988-1610, spans 2017 ~ 2018 AD.
Now add growing proof of Trump in Russia's pocket, and Trump breaking the emoluments, relatives, and every other law in our land against self-enrichment of those in public office, especially that of POTUS. All just going on, daily worse, and the alleged 'Christian' GOP allows and even encourages it, defends him. So he's their Lord by acquiescence, huh. Notice especially that those defending him, are far less sane than say a year before they jumped on the TrumpTrain ๐. Compare those same droolers to their talk, a year prior. Borg collective. So of course they can't tell their 'lord' is a false messiah, they prefer orange!
Matthew 25:18: kurios, syllables 2167-9, sevens at 2169-1987, spans 2197 ~ 2199 AD.
This is within the last 1050 that Christ maps. So it could represent future history during the millennium, the rapture and tribulation happening sometime prior. Since Revelation 1-3 basically explains the rapture happens due to Church apostacy coinciding with her completion, it can happen any day. Criterion for the rapture isn't event-based or date-based, but maturation/apostasy, maxing out. One more day of Church, won't help anyone believe/grow. So up she goes, Revelation 4:1.

War of Austrian succession, the first truly world war, all over who would husband Europe, since the Holy Roman Emperor died with only a female heir. Sets the pattern for all wars through WWII, the major impetus for the American War of Independence (to separate from all those nasty European wars). Especially biting: Matthew 24:50 is the first sarcastic use of kurios, for the deposition of Charles I who wanted to lord it over England, how she should worship and what Bible she can have. All uses of numphios, and future uses of kurios add that sarcastic 'layer': it proves most relevant in 'our' time, Matthew 25:11ff. First Great Awakening.
Note the full-circle quality of history: 2000+ years ago, a woman in a dusty little country seems to have a Child out of wedlock, Who ends up being the predicted Messiah. So the legitimacy of such a claim retains its pssst-pssst character, as the first Christian empire is founded based on that Kid, by Constantine who himself might not have been legitimate, either. So those supporting him and those not, argue over legitimacy for the next 2000 years, all of them trying to re-create the alleged glory of Rome that existed when that Kid, was here. For his part, Constantine wanted to start a New Rome somewhat east of the old one, but then 1100 or so years later the Arabs took it over, and now the old Rome still limps along, many times reconstructed... until World War I, ends. Hitler tried to revive it, still the Europeans try, and Putin wants to rebuild the Constantine thing, ever the desire of the east (called renovatio, look it up). Now, via some goofball claim of past white Christian glory, it's a heady lie to be slurped in TrumpLaLaLandia, with blonde counterparts in Europe thirsty for the same. North vs. South now on global scale, whiteys against non-whiteys, just as vommunist Chinese foreign diplomats long warned their non-white counterparts in below-equator capitals.
So do you wonder, that in 1749, a guy wrote a metered translation of 2 Samuel 23, "The Last Words of David" (The Last Words of David, Divided According to the Metre. with Notes Critical and Explanatory. by Richard Grey)? Book's author missed how David sevened so you got to his age when he writes, 77. Which yes Isaiah 53 used for his meter, as did Matthew 1 (playing on Davidic 14s), and Luke 3, genealogies that confuse scholars who can't read either 1 Kings 6:1 or that 1749 book. This is why scholars think the Bible's dates are wrong: they don't read the Bible's dates properly, but use Josephus. Just in time for all those scholar tomes in the next century when Bible manuscripts were collated by the thousands; by then, hundreds of such metered translations would exist (Henry Cotton's Editions of the Bible and Parts Thereof in English, from the Year MDV. to MDCCCL., Volume 2); no one realizing hey, these syllable counts are divisible by SEVEN!
Matthew 25:5: numphios, syllables 1789-91, sevens at 1789-1719, spans 1819 ~ 1821 AD.
Seventy years later: first find of Codex Aleph (partial), first vision by faker-suitor Joseph Smith, and cult of Nappy-who-just-died-coming-back*-to-save-world**, begins. It's also the start of a massive pan-denominational fervor to find all the extant Bible manuscripts, collate and correct them, translate them. From here on, every year someone retranslates the Bible to take into account the latest mss scholarship. Theologies and divinity schools flourish, as do missions, even until now. 200 years ago, scholars were interested in Bible, not politics; it was a time of creating lexicons and translations that we still use today, never mind what milquetoast pulpits pander. Revival fervor also begins anew, culminating in the second Great Awakening. This is when Millerites, SDA, other experience-not-Bible movements are born.
*Hitler's Gift to France: The Return of the Remains of Napoleon II (pages: x, 34, xi)
**Twelve Future Acts of Napeoleon III. (page 5)
Bible interest runs in 200 year cycles. We are at the end of one. If you look back in history, starting at the Cross, you can see Bible interest wax and wane; by 200 AD, no one wanted to learn the Greek (see Max Cary's History of Rome, penultimate chapter). Thereafter, as crises came and went (refer to: Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible" for more information), Bible interest rose or fell; sometimes it took a bit longer than 200 years, but not much beyond that. The Paris Bibles were all the rage when first disseminated in the early 1100's; by 1300, while no one would discard his, no one wanted new ones. 200 years after that, is the Reformation; 200 years next is the Renaissance (so called because it was anti-Bible and therefore must be good); then 1900s.. and well, here we are.
Matthew 25:6: numphios, syllables 1815-7, sevens at 1817-1789, spans 1845 ~ 1847 AD.
Codex Aleph (main ones) found, Joseph Smith dies (1844), Mormonism founded in Salt Lake City. Intensification of the verse 5 trend, continues. Official second Great Awakening is usually tagged to 1857 et seq.
Matthew 25:10: numphios, syllables 1944-6, sevens at 1943-1817, spans 1974 ~ 1976 AD.
Codex Aleph (another one) found; 'prolife' Christians make Ronald Reagan and every other GOP candidate, a new groom. Fervor of apostolic revivalist 1820s et seq., institutionalized; every seminary contained their tomes and every demonation created its own Bible translation. Every false doctrine remains, and many corrected ones are known yet still debated. So politics inserted to deflect, even as Joan d'Arc. Thus prolife blasphemy flowers, ersatz scholarship of prosperity gospel with no Biblicity and less sense. Seven Mountains dominionism is born, from 3-way same 'vision' by three apostates:
- Bill Bright
- Loren Cunningham
- Francis Schaeffer
All in 1975. It is the movement behind Donald Trump in 2015 et seq. Becomes the New Apostolic Reformation circa 1998 when text says the Lord shuts the door. (Many references in Youtube by the practitioners, and Google web searches). Word is tossed out in favor of 'apostles' and 'prophets' whose spoken word, is instead followed.
Matthew 25:34: Basileus, syllables 2739-43, sevens at 2743-2638 parousia or 2743-1945 numphios or 2738-1947, spans 2769 ~ 2773 AD.
Matthew 25:40: Basileus, syllables 2945-9, sevens at 2949-2743, spans 2975 ~ 2979 AD.

Anaphora Keyword Notes
For Rome prior to Odovacer, I compiled a chronological chart of URLs to universities, etc. to cross-reference and describe events Paul tags. It first has links to the contemporary/university authors, plus then a set of bracketed AD-year links.
Mark seems to use classical Greek pronunciation, except for Hebrew names. He also writes in haste, so variants with extra kai's, gar, etc. in Matthew 24 or Luke 21, Mark likely omits. He counts their syllables, then changes the text to derive his own complementary counts. Sometimes omitting small words or changing tenses, is enough.
Mark plays on his own dateline of 24 years to Millennium (first clause), also at its end, which is 1050 + 224, which is the number of syllables in God's Reply to Daniel (9:24-27), 231, minus that last 7 years of Tribulation. Clever way to prove yes pre-Tribulation Rapture is valid. It would matter a bunch after the 1050 elapsed to know that, as folks from Rome to Kyiv misread Daniel 12 to think that 1260 AD would be 'the end'. Matthew 24 is written 63 years-to-Millennium; Luke 21 was written 35 years until the Millennium. All Bible writers dateline their text via formulas of years from a past event and/or years to a future event (both well-known, to set tone of the new writing). So Mark follows convention. Still 30 AD for the speech itself (so add 30 to all meter numbers to convert to 'our' AD). So Mark too employs the 63 with dual-entendre: he writes 63 years after Judaea is a province. Equidistance number punning is common to all starts and endings of Bible books and as here, even chapters. Makes them witty, profound, easy to remember for folks who memorized large bunches of text so they wouldn't have to schlep around, heavy scrolls or codices.
Second dateline of 91 is even more provocative, being as Jerusalem is surrounded by armies when Mark writes, Pesach 69 AD. Otho will soon kill himself, (April 16, 69, so Pesach was 12 days prior). Herod's kingship officially began 40 BC, as per the Roman Senate. However he had to fight for it once in Jerusalem, so the clever use of 91 dating back to when Herod had consolidated thus started to build his own palace and married Mariamne daughter of the high priest = the 18th year, if you count from 40 BC not 37. Sarcasm is bald: human, all you build up will not have one stone left on another... Just as the text of the story, opens. Datelines always set the text themes.
Third dateline (unusual) is 119, tags when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon as Otho had just done (the latter went north). Civil war was in Rome equally at both times, as Mark writes in the Year of the Four Emperors; Vespasian just started his own bid. Exactly one year after Mark writes, Titus begins final Temple takedown; his father Vespasian, would become Emperor 8 months after Mark writes. Perhaps Mark wrote Hebrews (dated to Chanukah), a few days after Vespasian's accession?
In the Matthew and Luke texts, syllable-count distances between anaphora (amen legw humin and parousia clauses), and keywords are each divisible by seven. So too, the highlights here. The first amen legw humin here is only in the Beza (D05) text, but it sevens and uses hoti in both places, which looks deliberate since the first amen legw humin in Matthew 24 didn't use hoti (on purpose, so the distance are always divisible by 3 or 7). The very end of the first Matthew 24 amen legw humin is where Mark (I submit) deliberately adds his first, adding hoti to cause syllables to seven at his second dateline, of 91. As a result, a clean sevening between both occurrences at 63, 91 and 1050 occurs: the 1050 thus balances to both Luke 21 and Matthew 24's, as well as to Genesis 1 (which also ends at 1050). So the first amen legw humin is not dittography. It has provably anaphora/choral meaning, given the text. Look how both 'bookends' concatenate:
Believe Me when I tell you that not one stone will be left upon another; this generation will not end until all this has come to pass.
Next, playing on Paul's meter in Ephesians 1:3-14, Mark uses anaphora keywords. Paul played on Matthew 24 and Luke 21 to craft his, but the satire linking to an Emperor's death was unique to Paul, who uses Emperor deaths to trace the death of Bible interest, which led to Western Rome's downfall. Mark thus does the same for the East, and he uses 'see' (which requires you be alive) to mark their deaths. Bitingly.
Thus Blepw / ide / semion distances are anaphora keywords, just as Matthew 24 and Luke 21 seven distances between theirs (i.e., amen, parousia, huios, kurios, numphios). The distances are doctrinally significant for the events benchmarked, to 'center' on the prophecy's historical nexus via their occurrences (i.e., if a phrase is repeated five times, the center is third). If they seven, it's also likely that totals between are right; any syllable counting errors, offset by the end points. That narrows the search area for auditing counts.
Synonymally, ide (from horaw) is used, and also sevens. Those references will be interspersed here as แผดฮดฮต. So the reader can track the emperors while he reads, as Daniel did during his meter for his Chapter 9 prayer. 'To prove yes god knows what time it is for Eastern believers keen on relics, magic, 'signs'. I rarely see ๐ Bible-related events. Maybe you will.
Semeion is an object of sight, so it's a synonym and sevens, as well.
Mark 13:1, แผดฮดฮต syllables 29-30, covers 59-60 AD. Nero kills his mom Agrippina for his own 21st birthday, at the start of 59. It didn't work the first time, so he dispatched assassins. Sets the tone: a Medea or Oedipal Byzantine history, follows. Since Paul centered on the Severan mothers for his anaphora, it certainly makes sense for Mark to start with Nero then newly DEAD when Mark writes, who isn't seeing any beautiful buildings; rather, Rome's own beautimous buildings are threatened.
Mark 13:2 Iesous @ syllables 45-47 and Blepw, syllables 52-53, so covers 82-83 AD. Could tag Titus' end (rounding) and/or Domitian start (the good years), like Matthew 24 text does at its first Blep. Get the pun? Titus isn't seeing anything anymore, but it was under him that the Temple fell, and when he dies no stone is atop another on Pompeii, either; nor will he see the beautiful buildings Domitian will build to deify him and the dad. Everyone else sees Domitian in his early piety period (to make himself look good, deifies his family), before he goes wacko as a martinet. By the way, Mark follows Daniel 9's structure, as Matthew 24-25 did, except Daniel covered the past kings one syllable per year, through his verse 13. So Mark like Paul, starts with the past, but quickly goes future. Nero/Titus/Domitian is current, with few years past, when Mark writes: everyone knows who they are. To list some past, helps readers 'get' your style of wit; then, they read each year's 'news'. For the test of God, is that what He says, comes true: Deuteronomy 18:22. So now you follow annually, to see that the Word of God is true. Yet it's not boring. Everyone loves satire. Ergo, these anaphora.
Mark 13:4 to semeion @ syllables 150-4, covers 180-83 AD. Aurelius died 180, and his natural son Commodus, made Caesar since age 5, now rules alone. Matthew 24:4 benchmarks it with the apokritheis keyword. Not sure what to say of Luke 21. Paul satirized Commodus' 177/78 AD promotion to co-emperor then accession, in Eph1:7 as ฮบฮฑฯแฝฐ ฯแฝธ ฯฮปฮฟแฟฆฯฮฟฯ ฯแฟฯ ฯฮฌฯฮนฯฮฟฯ ฮฑแฝฯฮฟฯ , given that our boy would become famous for his greed by 183 (end of his good years). Since Mark's Gospel is all about signs of Christ which people ignore, to link up future Commodus with the deathbed discourse of Christ here as a sign, is wryly apt for a trend of history: 'sign' that all these things are always 'about to be' (ฮผฮญฮปฮปแฟ). Donald Trump is the current iteration of the Commodus 'sign' of greedy Christians politicking, so the Empire goes down. For this is the rise of Ireneaus, then Tertullian, and Origen as their most famous greedy proponent of false doctrine. This is when the pope myth is born, a device used to combat pagan claims Christianity was new and thus false. Bible goes right out the window, via these people.
Mark 13:5 Iesous @ syllables 166-69 and Blepw, syllables 177-179. Sevens at 179-53. Runs 207-209 AD, when Septimius Severus became ill, upon arrival in Britain with his quarrelling sons. So first he sees death of any reconciliation, then they see his death in 211. Ouch. Sic transit gloria mundi. Severus, very deceived, convinces himself that Caracalla won't kill Geta when Daddy's gout ends; his own wife and her sisters will claim incest in his name, to raise unrelated kids to the purple, 7+ years after Daddy dies.
Mark 13:9, Blepw syllables 296-298. CENTER of Blepw anaphora: sevens at 298-179 and prior. Spans 209-328 AD, the word running 326-329 AD, like Paul does with his anaphora, except that Paul used Trinity meter. Again, as did Paul, the Mark text describes what actually happens (persecution, infra-Christian). Constantine killed Licinius 325 despite telling his sister he wouldn't, then killed both his own wife and son Crispus; his mom died in 329, he dedicated Nova Roma in 330, but started building it supposedly four years prior (seems too short). Lots of Christian fighting, proverbial that you couldn't have a haircut w/o debate over whether Christ was Divine or merely human.
So of course Mark's repackaging of Christ's wording keys off Ephesians 1:11-12, re bringing together under one head, making a first fruits offering, in Mark 13:9-10; cuz first the Gospel must be preached! So Constantine's own death must be satirized -- Paul reserved middle of proelpikotas in Eph1:12 for it, so Mark tags the same death in middle of ฯฮฑฯฮฑฮดฯฯฮฟฯ ฯฮนฮฝ here -- C's firstfruit kiddies then kill many of their relatives within 91 days after Dad died; then began warring over whether God was One or Three, coupled with Christian prelates cannibalizing each other; resulted in everyone betraying his brother for a witness: flaying, extra.
Mark 13:14, แผดฮดฮต syllables 511-13, covers 541-43 AD. Justinian I (wife Theodora). Two Ostragothic kings, Ildibad and Eraric war with Byzantium, die in 541. Next, 542-3 AD, bubonic plague hits; J himself nearly dies from it. Plotters for his alleged successor, die. Wonder if Justinian noeito'd he built an Abomination temple to mary atop the Holy of Holies 527 AD et seq. 3rd year of Justinian bid to revive Rome Empire, seek alignment with Pope, beats Goths, rejects Three Chapters. In 551, Beirut earthquake takes thousands.
Mark 13:21, แผดฮดฮต twice and seven apart with ho kristos baldly in between, syllables 749-50, then 756-7, covers 779-80 then 786-7 AD. This is the center of the chapter. One more way to know 'or' isn't between the ides. Bad news bears Irene, schemes to capitalize on her husband's death, Leo IV (780). Wash rinse repeat with her kid Constantine VI, cuz now mommy Irene is Regent. She worms her religious way into the prelates' hearts, so that by the time VI was 16 in 787, she wouldn't yield her regency. So it's a type of death, but not physical. Yet. Meanwhile, much inner death results from venerating all those statues of alleged saints alongside Christ, rather than His Real Book.
To get back to Blepw in verse 23, the sevening distance is cutely 755 to 811 = 56.
Mark 13:22 semeia kai terata @ syllables 785-91, covers 815-21 AD. Sevens at syllables 785-757 in verse 21. Terata gets included, as it is the type of 'sign' which makes people marvel and polarize, resulting in controversy between those who believed the wonder, and those who do not. Since our gal Irene died in 803 AD, it's a result of her. This one, is Leo V (covered in verse 20 and hostile contemporary account in Chapters 1-2, here), who assumed power via coup in 813 over Michael I Rangabe (also covered in verse 20). Leo of course dies violently at the end, on Christmas Day, 820, murdered while in church. Sign of the times. All greedy for power like Commodus was, but in the name of God!
Mark 13:23, Blepw syllables 809-811. Sevens blepw-blepw, at 809 (blepw inside the nest, here verse 23) -298 (center blepw outside the nest, verse 9) = 511, same length as kurios 'nest'. Ends first internal nexus. Spans 839-841 AD. Covers Theophilos, son of Michael II (820-829, verse 22's ฯฮฑ ฯฯแฝธฯ ฯแฝธ แผฯฮฟฯฮปฮฑฮฝแพถฮฝ, ฮตแผฐ ฮดฯ ฮฝ, hostile contemporary account in Chapter 3-4 here and v20, largely marked by a 'deceiver' Thomas, who claimed to be a still-alive Constantine VI), a rabidly-iconoclast ruler. So that's pro-Bible (as pro- as the Byzantines ever got). Focus is on Anatolia and especially how Arabs lost in 839+ due to internal plots; caliph al-Mu'tasim dies (from illness) in 841. So All-Seeing God Who Told You In Advance, has Mark keep on marking deaths of rulers and reversals.. but not always Roman Emperors, huh. Theo himself dies JANUARY 842. The following year is considered by historians to be the end of the 'reconstruction' period for Byz, and its 'golden age' then starts, ending in 1071. Text here seems to say the opposite.
Michael III's his kid (contemporary account in Chapter 5 here), rules to the end of verse 24a (murdered in 867 by his best friend, Basil; covered in Chap 6). Resurgence of Irene-like mother-son fighting & icon worship starting 842 due to his dad's death. So the bookend parallel is made to Constantine I killing his own mother, son, and his own sons fighting with each other over 'God' (verse 8). That kind of reversal, here. Told here in advance by Christ then history. So we're not surprised that language similar to verse 24b, corresponding to Leo VI's reign, heads Chapter 7, Sections 8,28 & 34, footnote 103 of the life of Leo VI (p200 & 211 of pdf), penned by Scylitzes.
Mark 13:26, แผดฮดฮต syllables 893-5, covers 923-5 AD. Since it's hooked up with huios, click here for the details. This is the end of a second internal nexus, as it both sevens to, and hooks up with, both kurios in verse 20, and blepw/ide in verse 21. On its own, it also starts the huios anaphora nest within kurios. This endpoint is made bald by sevening the cumulative totals (here, at 910). V24-26 end in a sevening, and v20-23 end in a sevening. Somehow verse 23 and this verse 26 are turning points in history.
Mark 13:29, แผดฮดฮต syllables 1019-20, covers 1049-50 AD. Purple-born Zoe (daughter of Constantine VIII) dies 1050; her third husband Constantine IX survives her as the Emperor not a mere consort; he lives another five years. Zoe's purple-born co-empress sister Theodora, also survives another six years (end of Mark 13:29a), end of Macedonian line; Empire declines (so yeah door is engus=1083; of fighting noble families, Komnenoi finally win; Alexios I Komnenos consolidates his power; to defeat the Seljuks, he invokes Western support, becomes Emperor of first Crusade (verse 30b here), himself dying at mou in verse 31). How ironic: Bible gets out, away from political domination; her mistakes make her territory look ripe for plucking. 21 years later, an Arab nearly does -- then his son decides on fig-tree Jeru, instead.
Mark 13:33, Blepw syllables 1134-1136. Sevens at 1134-812, so runs 1164-1166 AD. Manuel I, son of John II Comnenus (who dies end verse 32), so born to the purple (literally). Big reformer, high on the arts and learning, good negotiator, solves problems without violence as a preference, kinda like the eastern equiv of Charlemagne. Iconoclast, but apparently not rabid. His big problem was no heir. His first wife dies and he marries another. He was big on letting the monasteries be autonomous and tax-free; but in so doing, he depletes the full treasury his dad left him. Worse, he has a son Alexius II born 1171, gone by puberty (1183), run by his mom; so usurper Andronikos I (nasty cousin of Manuel who escapes prison for treason against Manuel, in 1165) took over, killed the boy. Massive palace intrigue and wars still continue, so will bring on the sack of Constantinople. For Manuel I had died 1180 @start of แผฯฯฮนฮฝ, get the pun? Under him, the alleged 'golden age' of Byzantium, quickly unraveled when he died, an hour no one expected.
All five Blepw anaphora keywords have same 'reversal' quality as Paul used for the eta in thelematos, but focus on undoing of predecessor's achievements due to incompetnce/corruption in successor or vice versa.
The other keywords are nested in pairs, and seven to each other. They 'contain' the last two Blepw verses. This is just like Paul's style. Kurios forms the outer 'shell at verse 20 and verse 35. In between, are verses 26 and 32, which contain the huios references. The two verse 23 and verse 33 Blepw verses in turn, 'sandwich' the huios referenes, making for a third 'nest'. Amazing. From this structure it should become obvious how God interrelates the events depicted by the keywords' order of occurrence: God Sees the Son. Clever PREGNANT way to remember the outline of the text! Since Mark was around Paul so much, he would have been familiar with Paul's constantly using pregnancy as a style in all his letters (i.e., Romans 8:22 is theme of that chapter). So think: now you know EXACTLY how Christ's nature works, no need to FIGHT or hold councils to argue! Clear proof that the folks who had the original mss, whose tongue was a version of the same language.. couldn't even count syllables. But you can.
Kurios references (in Matthew 24-25, these are keywords for Bible translations, manuscript finds, reformers):
Mark 13:20, syllables 702-4, first kurios creates the 'center' nexus for all three 'nests' starts 732-734 AD. (See also verses 35, 21, 26 ; verse 23 ends first internal nexus). We can call this 'center' for two big reasons. First, it's synonymal to แผธฮทฯฮฟแฟฆฯ (and sevens to its verse 5 occurrence, 701-169 or 705=166+539=77 sevens, age of David @ death, Christ 77th Son in Luke3, and 490, ๐), which was used twice before (verses 2 and 5), so this kurios is third instance; its companion ho kristos in verse 21 makes this a pair. Since there are 8 total occurrences of Iesous or synonyms of Him, only a pair works to get center (so that both sides are equal). So that center, must be verses 20-21.
Add now, fact แฝ ฯ แผฑฯฯ is used thrice, first as ฯแฝธฮฝ ฯ แผฑแฝธฮฝ ฯฮฟแฟฆ แผฮฝฮธฯฯฯฮฟฯ in verse 26, then simple nominative แฝ ฯ แผฑฯฯ in verse 32; finally, แผฮฝฮธฯฯฯฮฟฯ in verse 34. So verse 26 starts huios anaphora -- which is wholly nested inside kurios. He's the Center of history, get the pun? So Mark uses the same roping anaphora style as Paul's epainon, linking from the center (which incidentally is yet another proof Mark's Gospel, is third). That was Ephesians 1:12, focusing on Constantine, 320-334 syllables=AD. So Mark does that too, shooting over this verse 20, to hook Constantinian meter in verse 9, to verse 23.
So note how the distance from the end of the kurios keyword here in verse 20, to just before the start of verse 35's kurios, is 511. So the distance between, sevens. Thus our next task is to find where is the overlap. To do that, we need find the center of the only other keyword left, blepw (ide being synonymal). The internal center of blepw alone, is verse 9 (3rd of 5 occurrences). The internal center of blepw+ide, is a pair within verse 21 (6th of 11 occurrences). Note also that ho kristos is sandwiched in between, creating another sevened roping from kurios (distance is 49, between).
So why this period? Battle of Tours/Poitiers was 732/3. In the East, Leo III (deemed the restorer of Empire, a major cultural goal among folks living in the East), was a big reformer, instituting helpful reduction in tax burdens and serf suffering; he was also against icon veneration (little dolls like ancient lares, but supposedly of Christ and saints, also relics and paintings of same), so he waged war against the clerics; so in 732 the Pope anathametized him and his fellow iconoclasts; so Leo took Papal territory in Italy. In 740 he stopped the Arabs, cutting their days in his land.. short. But he maybe was pro-forced conversion of Jews? His son will be famous reformer-successor in 741, Constantine V, who was crowned at age 2, in 720 (690 in meter, haha). So Bible frees up during this time.
Constantine V, like his father Leo III, was an avid reformer. He wanted back to the bible and most of Constantinople did too, rather than icons and rituals, summoning a (Hiereia) council to reason out why icons should be banned, in 754. In short, he wanted to rid Byzantium of falsehood built up over the centuries, resulting in monasteries and monks who invented a host of heaven to worship, not the real Word. So yeah, Bible frees up a lot during this time, as the council was attended by like-minded prelates. These three years were their strongest period. After C dies in 775 AD, they will be reversed by his power-mad daughter-in-law crowned Irene, a Pulcheria-type schemer, when her husband (CV's son) Leo IV, dies 780 AD (see verse 21). At that point she takes over as regent for their son Constantine VI. All his short life (he dies in 797), they fought; she dies five years later. So again, this shows the closest thing to a 'reformation' happening in the East, the back-and-forth of icon veneration. So Bible is freed up during the no-icon ascendency periods.
Then arrives Nikephorous, ruled 802-811, start of verse 22. Cute for Mark to tag him as 'rising' and a pseudo-christ in verse 22. He is unrelated to the dynasty, was an official under Irene, staged a coup d'etat against her. He rules until 811, when he dies and his son replaces, only to be overthrown again. Nike was 'neutral' to the iconoclasts. That meant Bible was freer to move around.
But the Empire was in financial straits. So flipside, Nike instituted massive, mainly tax-related reforms to get money, called 'vexations' by his critics. But his foreign policy essentially protected Anatolia (where Paul spent much of his missionary time) from the Arabs, starting in 809 when the Arab ruler died. Exit window. During that same time he bested Charlemagne re territories in Italy and Dalmatia, getting peace in 810. He dies the following year, after a nearly successful campaign against the Bulgars; but after winning, he gets trapped by their retreating army, and dies. This too needs to be a movie. Why it matters: after Nikephorous' son dies, there is an interregnum followed by a tug-of-war with pro-icon and anti-Rome religiosity, which threatens to close the Bible door. Makes sense, as Nikephorous' son-in-law Michael I Rhangabe ruled next, ending spring 813. Replacing him (by coup d'etat) is a former general, Leo V, representing a victory for the iconclasts, 813-820. Then on Christmas Day, he's murdered brutally in a church by his former friend who Leo jailed, Michael II (hostile contemporary account in Chapter 3, here, note icondules/iconphiles were very anti-semitic); so now a new dark period, ensues.
Next, Mark 13:35, starts at 1216 through 1219 (including article), sevens from kurios to kurios, @1215-704=511 again (see also verse 23), = 1246-1249 AD. This covers Latin Baldwin II in the East, the last Latin Emperor, who kept selling priceless religious artefacts to avoid takeover. So he probably sold Bible manuscripts. The 'empire' was little more than the city of Constantinople at this point. The period focuses on his time in France (which I can't research), trying to raise money to defend against the Mongols, Arabs/Turks (Crusades in last phase), the Bulgars, etc. Above all, to defend against the Palaiologoi, who aimed to retake Constantinople and restore the Byzantine Empire in his stead. This also happens to be the heyday of Bible collection, translation, publication, as little Bibles were wildly popular; Paris was one of the centers for making those Bibles, along with Milan. Baldwin II has a bunch of them to sell. Irony here is that the popularity of Bibles was too often due to people drooling over the Rapture/Second Advent based on a misreading of Daniel 12's 1260, thinking it signified the AD year 1260. So when it came and went, they lost interest in Bible. So the Lord suddenly came home to them via the Word, but oh well...
Yet due to Baldwin's mendicancy he forms alliances in the West (being himself from Flanders) that will later nearly topple Michael VIII (who retook Constantinople in 1261). Point is, Baldwin II's straits led to much freer dissemination of the Greek mss than had hitherto been possible. After 1261 for decades, Michael and his successors will be boxed in a simmering two-front conflict (Arabs/Turks, Mongols on East and Papacy coalitions in West).
Empire falls apart after MVIII dies; Mark 13 ends at just after the first Venetian war w MVIII's son Andronikos II; he had to play the Daniel 11 trick of strategic marriage, and marry off even his baby daughter to get the backing for fighting or stop hostilities; on the heels of all that in 1305, unofficial then official civil war started w his grandson (who wins, so II ends up a monk). Someone should turn the story into a movie. Bottom line, the West got a lot of mss out of this, both when they sacked Rome and when they were driven out.
Meanwhile, there was a 'kingdom' of Nicaea, which John III Vatatzes rules. His empire was northwest 1/3 of Anatolia, Paul's old stomping grounds. By 1246 he'd been in power 20+ years despite opposition by his fellow Byzantines (for the old Empire split up during the Latin control of Constantinople). During 1246-1249 he managed to capture territory surrounding Constantinople on the other side of the Bosphorus. During the interim, he'd been in talks to reconcile with the West, but they didn't work due to doctrinal differences. So it's safe to assume that with all the warring, changes of territory, etc. that many Bible manuscripts got out. It's also safe to assume that any Bible-reading Christians were either protected or left the area during the takeovers. This matters much during this time, as it was the heyday of Bible learning in the West, and both Paris and Milan were hungry for mss. Same was going on in Spain, even among Muslim rulers who remained during the Reconquista (Granada, I think?) so that trade in Bible would be higher than normal.
Huios references (in Matthew 24-25, these are keywords for missionaries, Bible translations):
Mark 13:26, แผดฮดฮต and huios, starts syllables 896-8. The huios sevens to prior kurios as 898-702=196; period spans 926-8 AD; it's coupled with แผดฮดฮต anaphora, so period runs 923-8. This period covers Constantine VII and his regent, Romanos I Lekapenos (who started rule in 920; Chapter 10 here, but start in Chapter 9 for context; CVII himself ruling alone, is in Chapter 11). These years 'saw' Bulgarian independence (who won added territory). Simeon I the Great of Bulgaria, was consecrated as Basileus by Nicholas Mystikos in 913, but the regents wouldn't recognize Simeon; so the latter renewed war against Byzantium; Romanos, after becoming Emperor, in 924 negotiates a peace with Simeon, who then dies in 927. Mystikos himself, dies in 925. Contemporary account, is in Chapters 9ff, here.
Mark's Second Advent language here is baffling, especially as it sevens in 26a, dysyntactically. However, when you read Chapter 9 Section 2 here, you see Mark's prophetic satire on their thinking (starts at p.222 of the pdf linked). 'Savior' musical chairs, all in the name of a 'son' in his minority. See the Son be Mocked.
Puppet Patriarch of Constantinople, Stephen II Amasea, died 928, replaced by Tryphon, appointed by Romanos I until the latter's son Theophylaktos -- castrated to help his career in the church?! -- to be of age (16!) for the post, three years later. So Mark mocks the blatant manipulation of state vs. church.
Backstory: Leo VI married his mistress Zoe in 901 and then-patriarch Nicholas Mystikos, refused to consecrate the marriage. So VII was indeed born four years later in the purple chamber, but shouldn't have been allowed there. So Leo ousted Mystikos, installed someone else, but then died; so Mystikos returns as one of the regents for VII. War with Bulgaria ending 913 included a deal of VII marrying a Bulgarian princess; 'the people' got upset with that; so Mystikos was ousted again, and the marriage didn't happen. Zoe then plays games, so Bulgarian war restarts, has setbacks, so enter our admiral Romanos to save Byzantium; so he becomes the head regent in 919 (competing powers, shaken!), ensuite emperor; VII's married off to Romanos' daughter, right where Mark 13:26's 'ton huion' begins. Aha. So Romanos is the Savior arriving with the clouds, four corners depicting the four co-emperors by 926, his own sons plus oh yeah that's right, we almost forgot.. Constantine VII. Yikes. So what goes around comes around, lo! By 940 AD a son is born to CVII; now the bros must oust daddy, who regrets how he treated CVII?! Worse, a year prior Otto I wanted to make a marriage alliance with VII (and did, see OttoII), just as CHARLEMAGNE tried in 780s et seq. Off again on again, Daniel 11-type behavior. Cuz Satan's trying to CREATE Revelaiton 17 conditions, get it? (Romanos II is covered in Skylitzes Chapter 12.)
Epilogue: by the end of ฮผฮตฯแฝฐ ฮดฯ ฮฝฮฌฮผฮตฯฯ in Mark 13:26b (Romanos I tonsured mid-ฮดฯ ฮฝฮฌฮผฮตฯฯ), start 946 AD, everyone's gone but Constantine VII; by 949, the arranged marriage Romanos made for CVII's son back in 945 (to illegit daughter of Hugh King of the Franks), also ended (the girl died at kai, when she was 9-10 years old). Kinda like the Elizabeth I story. So with power, alright. God doesn't like it when duly-constituted authority is usurped, even if that authority is bad. Over the next 13 years VII's cordial with Cordoba (where Jews who copied OT lived), and with Kievan Rus. So maybe some Bible mss got out and taught? I can't tell. VII dies in 959, at verse 27's ฮปฮตแฟ. His son Romanos II dies at the end of the verse, and the 'angel' who replaces him, is Nikephoros II (Chapter 14, Scylitzes). Ha: at end of verse 27's แผฯฮนฯฯ ฮฝฮฌฮพฮตฮน, he dies.
Now for the punchline: Nikephorus II takes over next, marries the widow of Romanus II (stories contradict, Psellos' vs Scylitzes Chapters 12-16). Her name was Theophanu or Theophano. Romanus had picked her as his second wife, his first dying when he was age 10-12 and she about 9-12, supposedly illegitimate child of Hugh, the king of the Franks. His second marriage was about 956, so he was about 16-18, and Theophano (nee Anastaso) was about two years younger. When RII dies in 963, she had three kids by him, one newly born; she either solicited Nikephorus' hand or he insisted on it to legitimate his usurpation, that same year. So now Nikephorus II reigns, his taxation and alleged cruelty being so onerous, a relative John Tzimiskes, alleged new lover of Theophanu, hacks NII to death in his sleep. Whereupon John takes over; but the monks intervene and disallow him marrying Theophanu; so he sends her to a monastery, marries someone else, but since her boys were already crowned, he rears them as his successors: Basil, Constantine, Anna. John defeats the Bulgars and Russians; then sends his niece to marry Otto II; her name is also.. Theophanu. Thus he solidified his own legitimacy and kept Byz Italian territory, with better peace.
Revelation 17's meter often tags Mark 13, and ends on the punchline, the RII-Theophanu marriage in 956. It can't be coincidental; from Constantine VII onward, the imperial deaths, births, marriages of both East and West 'Rome', converge repeatedly.
Mark's biting use of 'son' for Constantine VII deftly tags a Henry VIII-Anne Boleyn kind of split with the Byzantine equivalent of the papacy. But this time, a son is born, his dad replaces the 'pope', then dies himself, only to be replaced with someone outside the family as regent for that same son; the outsider, like Stilicho, marries off his daughter to that son to legitimize himself; with the one who refused to consecrate the marriage having also been and remaining, regent for that son. But the real son himself is never seen; or, is only seen with his supposed guardian-messengers gathering everyone; that son instead really spends his life writing books no one reads (hint hint, no one's reading the Bible in Byzantium, though they preserve it in Greek).
You can't make this stuff up.
So Mark's sevening blocks off the period from 850 (start verse 24) to 940 AD (end verse 26a) as full of apocalypse-ending signs: darkened sun and moon, falling stars, powers of the heavens shaken, then deux ex machina in comes the outsider with his many servants, gathering the remnant back to a new rule, and a new peace. So that period in Byzantium, spans Michael III and his disastrous mother, to Romanos I who rises due to another disastrous mother. Consistent with all the ide references, always playing on Ephesians 1:9, 12 prophetical meter-mocking of Severan mothers, then Constantine I.
Mark 13:32, syllables 1126-1128, which corresponds to 1156-1158 AD. Earlier part of Manuel I (see also verse 33), centers on him avenging the Cyprus invasion; frankly there was a lot going on during these years. Afterwards, he contracted marital and political alliances with Hungary, then the Russians, as he had no son (haha); so it was more important than usual, to keep Fredrick Barbarossa of Italy, at bay. I don't see any missionary data other than Christianization of Estonia. However, Roman church was undergoing schism, so too the always-contentious prelates in Constantinople; with Manuel, successfully mediating.
The huios references seven to each other at 1127-896=231. That's the same meter as God's Reply in Daniel 9:24-27. Here it seems unusual, maybe syllable count is one off within the section. Common theme might be Emperor as Reformer (the 'mission'). Sadly, I can't find anything special in Bible translations or mss. In the East, Greek mss were common. It wasn't so much that the texts were kidnapped, as in the West; but rather, people cared more for the emotional ritual and icon junk. Or so it seems. If East also kidnapped Bible, Mark 13's telling yet another dark story but right now, I don't see it (pun intended).
There's another huios reference in verse 34, which is anarthrous, so Bibles translate it as Son of Man; so let's count it, too.
Mark 13:34, แผฮฝฮธฯฯฯฮฟฯ, syllables 1154-1156, which corresponds to 1184-1186 AD. Click here for the details that precede. The ruler in question during this v34 time is the guy whose rule is the cause of Byzantium's sacking 20 years later, Andronikos I. Technically, Andy consulted some diviner who said he'd be succeeded by someone named Isaac, so Andy tried to get Isaac Angelos killed. At the time, the latter was no threat at all, but the publicity made him popular with the people who hated Andy, so now they wanted to make Isaac emperor.. and did, killing Andy in Sept 1185 in the middle of แผฮฝฮธฯฯฯฮฟฯ. Cute play on his name: andros means noble man, whereas แผฮฝฮธฯฯฯฮฟฯ can mean any man. Here, the term is anarthrous, stressing quality. But Andy's quality was violent, so that's how he dies, too.. going away one hopes still to heaven, where he's a spiritual baby for eons. Note the pic in that wiki article: women are cutting him; one has cut off his FOOT (pous means foot).
Ten years later, civil war and pretenders in his family put Isaac back in prison, then bring him out 8 years later, fight some more by enlisting the Latins, and then renege on the promise to pay the Latins for their help; so the Latins sack Constantinople; they installed their own rulers from 1204 to 1261. So yeah, it's like a man going away entrusting his servants to keep alert, especially to guard the door.. and they didn't. Yikes, can the satire be more biting? The sack starts at the middle of the first autou in verse 34b. Ouch. Guess they're not HIS servants anymore, huh.
Next big question: how might consistency of pronunciation be an issue? What if the writer intends to slur or ellide, as in movies? Accent identifies important information about the speaker (dialect of a hillbilly versus a foreign accent, etc). Right now only partial consistency is reflected within in the metering: the author's own style. This is especially true of elision and Hebraisms. Matthew seems to prefer Hebraic diphthongs, so kurios is always two syllables versus the usual three found in Paul, here in Mark, etc. So far, am allowing the meter to demonstrate a pattern and then deciding the pronunciation, based on that. So it's subjective.

Paul writes:
- 49 years after Christ should have been born in 4106 from Adam's fall under the original Abrahamic Schedule (2046 + 2100 = 4146 but Jacob born 2046 + 60 so 4106 Birth). Paul set up this pun with 24 and 29, since he really writes in the 24th year after the Lord at age 29, went into the wilderness (since that's what 49 means, ๐): 23 + 29 = 52, the Lord's real age. ๐. Earliest use of that formula I've seen = 4155 = our AD
- 49. Not sure what month, but likely early January, else the 'pun' doesn't work (pun: He's really age 52, so they are 'late', en retard just as Israel had been). Paul also writes: ~
- 49 รท 2 years after Pontius Pilate became prefect, and 49 รท 2 years after Tiberius retired. And ~
- 49th year before the Lord's actual 100th birthday (๐, another pun on their being 'late'), so of course (playing on the Millennium, which begins in His 98th year on His 97th birthday), he writes in the ~
- 49th year before the should-have-been Millennium, ceteris paribus (52 + 49 pun).
- 147 is 98 higher than 49 = 49 x 2, get the deft match with ฮฑแผฐแฟถฮฝฮฑฯ ฯแฟถฮฝ ฮฑแผฐฯฮฝฯฮฝ, and the equidistant pun? That balances to Zecharias' endpoint, + 7. So Paul also writes ~
- 147 years after 98 BC, when Anatolia (upper central = Galatia) came under Roman 'alliance' (due to Sulla's rise in Rome and his support, Senate granted petitioning Cappodocians the right to choose their own king). For you count 49 then 98 backwards, ๐.
This dateline is scathing and pithy. The letter upbraids the Galatians, who had fallen under the Judaizers who came after Paul, everywhere he went. So Paul's precis of the 147 telegraphs a stern warning, they're abandoning their right to elect their own King, as Rome granted the petitioning Cappodocians; instead, the Galatians revert, as it were, to old tyrants who put up pretenders of fake lineage, to gain control. Yikes. So 49 x 3 = 147, Diaspora parallel. Double- and triple-yikes. ๐ฑ
See, if you include first day of Passover in your count, and include Pentecost in your count, there are 58 days. Exclude either one, and there are 57. Count between them, and you have 56. So now subtract 7, and you have the number of missed sabbatical years (on the 430 total elapsed years since Rehoboam's accession to temple down ๐๏ธ). Since the extra seven couldn't be made up (temple rebuilding ๐๏ธ had to begin after the 49th year elapsed), Daniel prayed for that extra 7 to be made up, so Temple could be restored; God's reply, using the same meter Daniel used, 'housed' that extra seven in the '62 weeks'. But Messiah died at the end of the 61st week, so Israel is 'late'. So Paul cleverly asks, sotto-voce: why would the Galatians want to emulate the people who rejected Messiah? (61 x 7 = 427 years after Malachi was written, cleverly metered by Matthew in his genealogy as a dateline for when he wrote).
I'll write more later, once I know why Paul uses the other meters. He's going prophetic, but I'm not sure what he means to benchmark.

CNTTS apparatus in Bibleworks 9: two [bracketed] verse 4 variants count, due to:
- many witnesses
- cadence fits
- and style: variance unit #7's eleos, and unit #17's kuriou.
Many manuscripts omit kai fronting eirene; omission doesn't alter count, since krasis is assumed. The other variants aren't worth mention.
Paul writes in 4172, 66 AD = the Lord's should-have-been age, summer. Paul writes at or near the end of the vernal year:
- 119 รท 2 = 59.5 years after Judaea became a Roman province; when Paul writes, Nero has just ordered Vespasian to assemble legions and march to Rome, so to put down the new rebellion against Florus in Jerusalem. Or, perhaps the rebellion didn't start yet, and Paul writes prophetically: for the rebellion occurs, in the summer of 66 AD.
- 119 รท 2 years before year 4232 (covered in Zecharias' prophecy);
- 119 years after 53 BC, when Crassus sacked the Temple in Jerusalem. This resonates, as Paul had already benchmarked Temple Fall for 70 AD in Ephesians, and of course the new rebellion which will fulfill that Ephesians metered prophecy, is just beginning. So past is prologue.
- 119 years before 4291, and ~
- 133 รท 2 = 66.5 years after The Lord should have been born (equidistantly converting to vernal)
- 133 รท 2 years before 4238.5
- 133 years after 67 BC, when (the usurper Maccabean line resulting in) Hyrcanus II comes to power; so usurpation II is in the offing due to the new rebellion against Rome, get the pun? And ~
- 133 years before 4305
- 119 means trouble, 133 means Temple going down due to apostasy, and 147 means triple diaspora (same meter Paul used in Galatians) = 49 x 3. So Paul doesn't meter, until the end; when he does, the trebled meters are negative and dramatic. Setting up, the letter's content: which warns about false teachers, and how to spot and appoint, the right ones. For Titus is Paul's missionary COO. The translation of this epistle is awful, hint hint: where the translation says 'good deeds', the Greek says God Deeds via anarthrous nouns, just as James had done; so the Greek meaning is the opposite of the English. Which helps you see why Paul prophetically warns against false teachers: for they mistranslate Bible for centuries, even today not fixing the errors โ despite all our modern technology, translations remain bad?? Sorry, no excuse!

Revelation 17 Poetic Meter
Prophecy of Rise of Gentile Anti-Christ as Fake Church
Majority of the meter documentation has been ported from brainout's Revelation 17 meter PDF. I've taken the liberty to update some of the formatting and text, therefore most of the commentary is not my own. The appropriate meter corrections have also been applied.

Anaphora Keyword Notes
Anaphora is a prominent feature in Matthew 24, Ephesians 1, Luke 21, Mark 13. Here in Revelation 17, the anaphora are: see, harlot, and beast. Distances between them are divisible by seven, as follows.
'See' / 'Witness' References
Mark 13 and to a lesser extent Luke 21 prior, Ephesians 1 prior (via thelematos) and Matthew 24 as the ultimate parent prophecy, sarcastically use 'see', to show how political power dies; word placement for seeing is matched with a future emperor's death, stressing both the one dying, and his successor. Revelation 17, apes this.
Revelation 17:3 ฮตแผถฮดฮฟฮฝ syllables 107-8 = 195 ~ 196 AD.
First instance, no native sevening, but is divisible by seven (108-38) to prior verse 1 ฯแฟฯ ฯฯฯฮฝฮทฯ, which is the first anaphoric word. This, is the second. Time here, refers to when Septimius Severus defeated his rivals for the purple, promulgated the myth he was the son of Marcus Aurelius, to create uniting faith (here as philosopher-king) and state. His wife and her sisters would later capitalize on this to regain power after Macrinus killed Caracalla. So 'wife' is trenchant, evokes Ephesians 1:9 (q.v.)
Revelation 17:6 ฮตแผถฮดฮฟฮฝ syllables 254-5 = 342 ~ 343 AD.
Sevens at 255-108. Here, focus is on Constans who survives his brother's attack, only to die himself by the end of the clause. The remaining brother, Constantius II, will end up inheriting the whole empire then. The brothers had first killed their siblings/cousins/uncles as potential rivals, then warred with each other over the definition of 'God' and 'Christ'. During these two years, Constans had to battle in the West to solidify his gains (due to his brother's death in 340 AD). These years also span start of the religious dispute which would poison his relations with CII.
Revelation 17:6b ฮตแผถฮดฮฟฮฝ syllables 290-1 = 378 ~ 379 AD.
Sevens at 290-255. Precursor to official split: in 375 AD owing to the death of Valentinian I, the baby Valentinian II is crowned in the East by the army, though his half-brother Gratian is still Emperor in the West. In 378 ~ 379 AD however, Gratian instead appointed Theodosius I as the Emperor for the East.
Revelation 17:8a ฮตแผถฮดฮตฯ syllables 361-2 = 449 ~ 450 AD.
Sevens at 361-291. Valentinian III in the West, Theodosius II in the East. Latter dies in 450. Karma, because VIII titled Attila, encouraged the Huns to invade the East; so in 449, VIII's sister invited Attila to invade the West, take her so she could avoid marrying some guy VIII imposed on her; so in that same year, he invaded Gaul (dates vary). You can't make this stuff up.
Revelation 17:8b ฮฒฮปฮตฯฯฮฝฯฯฮฝ syllables 429-31 = 517 ~ 519 AD.
Sevens at 431-361. Anastasius, a Miaphysite aka (somewhat inaccurately) Monophysite, defender of Zeno's Henotikon, faced opposition to it among his rival Chalcedonians, yet brought the empire back to some good governance and economy, died in 518. Dissertation on him: The Reign of Anastasius I, 491-518. Next, Justin I ascended, finally beat his religious enemies, then reverted strongly back to Chalcedonianism. Nephew Justinian would end up on the throne 10 years later, but was active in his uncle's administration from its start.
Revelation 17:12 ฮตแผถฮดฮตฯ syllables 563-4 = 651 ~ 652 AD.
Sevens at 564-431. Constans II finally orders the ongoing Chalcedonian-Monophysite debates to stop, in attempt to allow freedom of faith, in 648 and repeatedly after that. He seems to have finally won during these two years, getting the pope arrested. So the 'death' here is more like a breach, designed to provide free faith.
Revelation 17:15 ฮตแผถฮดฮตฯ syllables 698-9 = 786 ~ 787 AD.
Sevens at 698-565. Last two years of the impending marital alliance between Byzantine widow Empress Irene's son Constantine VI and Charlemagne's Rotrude, broken by Irene. That 'death', begins rift that results in Pope replacing Irene with Charlemagne as the true Holy Roman Emperor in 800 (Constantine having died in 797). Then Charlemagne proposes to marry Irene, but she finally says no (search on Aetius, here: The Chronicle Of Theophanes, Trans. By Harry Turtledove (1982)); then, Byzantines rise against her; Nikephorus I deposes her; she dies in a monastery.
Revelation 17:16 ฮตแผถฮดฮตฯ syllables 727-8 = 815 ~ 816 AD.
Sevens at 728-700. Louis the Pious, taking over at his dad's death in 814, is not crowned Holy Roman Emperor until 816 AD. His is a sad life, his children always rebel against him while he tries to unite Church and State.
Revelation 17:18 ฮตแผถฮดฮตฯ syllables 842-3 = 930 ~ 931 AD.
Sevens at 841-729. Otto I, ascends the throne in 929/930 when his dad died. At this point there is no Holy Roman Emperor, but there will be in 962, and he'll be crowned Holy Roman Emperor then. Meanwhile, he has a son Otto II, who he'll marry off to Theophanu, the niece of Byzantine Emperor Tzimikes, who himself allegedly had the former Byzantine Empress Theophanu as a lover, who married Romanos II back in 956 where Revelation 17 ends. That was also the year, the niece was born. Otto II, was born the year prior. All the other anaphora keywords stress this witty convergence. Here, it's traced back to the dad at his own accession.
'Whore' / 'Gune' References are to False Teaching that Politicizes
Whose false teachers end up calling themselves 'pure' (katharos, from which comes 'catholic')
Paul, in Ephesians 1:3-14, keying off both Matthew 24 and Luke 21, twines the prophetic rise and fall of Rome with the rise of Church apostasy in his meter, which is in 'our' AD format: for they had the same 3-year problem we do; a guy named Varro accounted ab urbe condita as net 3 years too high when Christ was born (not due to His Birth, just did it that year), vs. Livy who accounted the years rightly; Claudius made Varro's tally, law. As a result, Bible writers all had to make adjustments just as we do. Their meter shows it. So use the AD conversions here to 'mate' to Paul's tracking, which is mapped in the Ephesians 1 Chronology Chart. It functions also as a syllabus: there are many independent websites linked there, with contemporary or modern Roman historian sources.
Revelation 17:1 ฯแฟฯ ฯฯฯฮฝฮทฯ at syllables 38-40, runs 126 ~ 128 AD, first instance. Rise of the false doctrine of apostolic succession, first tried that we know of, by Clement of Rome. Further reading on this topic at: Pope Myth, Part IVa Inset, Lord vs. Satan: SupCtHeaven. Rise of virulent anti-semitism at the same time, more samples: ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus: Chapter IV.โThe other observances of the Jews, and ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus: Chapter I.โIntroduction.
Revelation 17:3 ฮณฯ ฮฝฮฑแฟฮบฮฑ at syllables 109-11, runs 197 ~ 199 AD, sevens at 111-41. Tags Matthew 24:4b. Popular writings by the disgusting Irenaeus preceded this verse 8's vile 'gal', Tertullian, who converts in 197 and mothers myths and Daniel 9 miscalculation. Meanwhile, Mater Castrorum and other emotional titles are being created by the Severans: the women end up controlling politics through 235 via incest and religious claims started during 197-9, when our boy finally defeated his last rival for the purple. Which is hilarious, since Aurelius' wife Faustina was rumored to have a 'Tertullus' (iam tibi dixi ter tullus) as a lover, and now Julia Domna was 'inheriting' Faustina the Younger's title. Maybe tags Ephesians 1:8b covering same years, as that's what they were saying about Severus at the time (and even now).
Revelation 17:4 แผก ฮณฯ ฮฝแฝด at syllables 148-50, runs 236 ~ 238 AD, sevens at 112-147, in between. Tags Ephesians 1:9d. Roman Christians fought with each other over whether Christ was coming back, inter alia, so finally were expelled from Rome and Alexander Severus murdered, in 235. Heyday of Bible-illiterate Origen whose attempts to convert Severans, helped them get killed. This guy reads emasculation metaphor literally, but literal Revelation 7 tribes of Israel, allegorically. Not to be outdone, another instigator arguing in Rome and hence purged, is Hippolytus, who dies then. He has heavy competition from anti-Semite Cyprian. The number of jerks writing long meaningless tomes during this time is uncountable. During this time, Peter is first put on a pope list, by comrade of Demetrius of Alexandria (who hated Origen), Julius Africanus.
Revelation 17:5 ฯแฟถฮฝ ฯฮฟฯฮฝแฟถฮฝ at syllables 242-44, runs 330-2 AD, sevens at 151-242. Tags Matthew 24:9b, Ephesians 1:12 (heart of Paul's anaphora), plus Luke 21:12c, which say 'they will kill you' and 'take you to jail', respectively. Focus on the dedication of 'new Rome' (Constantine's name for it), which solidified the 'justification' for persecuting anyone not adhering to whatever flavor of Christianity the 'new Rome' favored that moment. So yeah, Constantine's rule produced massive laws against anyone not of his prelate preference, damned as heretics or worse. Time also covers liar-in-chief Eusebius. Name means 'spiritual life', which he had NONE. NO, zero, nada, zip compunction about lying. Can't add or subtract numbers or Scripture if his life depended on it. Even until now, his obvious math errors keep repeating, wasting millions of dollars and countless spiritual profit; so that to this day, Daniel 9 is still misaccounted, even by Dispensationalists. For Eusebius was the chief chronicler of vile Constantine, who himself was pretty adept at lying. Which lying, you can read for yourself at that link. His fellow liar Lactantius died just prior to this particular whorific period.
Revelation 17:6 ฯแฝดฮฝ ฮณฯ ฮฝฮฑแฟฮบฮฑ at syllables 256-9, runs 344 ~ 347 AD, sevens at 256-242. Anaphoric center left. Tags Mark 13:9, Ephesians 1:12b, and Luke 21:12; vileness of religion on and by rulers post-Constantine, starting with his murdering sons, the tie to Ephesians 1:12. This first 100 years or so sets the whorifying apostate 'unity' pattern. Most poignant is how Paul closes Ephesians 1:12 marking Constantine's death as half-baked proelpikotas (first fruits, aka Pentecost, which was the day we are told Constantine died in 337). Ephesians 1:12b ends at 343 AD. John here adds the horror of persecution, connecting it to completion of firstfruits in those martyred (who are not the ones listed by the lying Church Fathers; or if martyred, what is said about them is a lie by the Church Fathers, who were completely apostate)
Revelation 17:7 ฯแฟฯ ฮณฯ ฮฝฮฑฮนฮบแฝธฯ at syllables 323-6, runs 411 ~ 414 AD, sevens at 326-256. Anaphoric center right. Tags Luke 21:15b. Evil Pulcheria's initial push to make a cult of herself. Note that the number of claimants against Honorius also are 10.
Revelation 17:9 แผก ฮณฯ ฮฝแฝด at syllables 471-3, runs 559 ~ 561 AD, sevens at 473-326. Tags Mark 13:14. Last Years of anti-semitic Justinian I, who like Trajan, overextended the Empire, rendering its treasury, empty; so it will soon lose territory. Worse, Justinian I codified his own religion into Law, trying to unite with Rome; dissenters were persecuted. So now Harlot sits astride the Beast as the Empire's legal code. So in these particular last years: earthquakes, plagues, famine, roof of Haggia Sophia (verse 6a here plays on no wisdom in Byzantium by its falling), invasions... Just as Leviticus 26 promises... Which no one reads. Granted, Procopius wrote against Justinian I for other reasons, but here we have God's.
Revelation 17:15 แผก ฯฯฯฮฝฮท at syllables 701-3, runs 789 ~ 791 AD, sevens at 703-472, in between. Rise of the Carolingians, especially with Pepin getting the Pope's help to replace the Merovingians, not a good thing. In particular, at this time Charlemagne has just helped the Pope be free of Lombard dominance, taking it over himself. For which, he will shortly be crowned by the Pope, in part due to the iconoclasm movement being repulsed by evil Irene in the East, but she was the ruler and the Pope wanted to make her pine for his support. Charles had also proposed marriage after he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor, so Irene's advisor Aetius talked her out of it, per chronicler Theophanes. Charles also began his education reform, which involved how to teach Bible, i.e., the Admonitio Generalis in 789 (can't find a good translation online). This is a 'whore', cuz the king is regulating Bible teaching and interp. Tags Matthew 24:25. So of course, Charles did a lot of bad lawgiving, just like Diocletian.
Revelation 17:16 ฯแฝดฮฝ ฯฯฯฮฝฮทฮฝ at syllables 741-3, runs 829 ~ 831 AD, sevens at 743-701. Tags Mark 13:20-23's first nested anaphora, centering on Theophilus, who takes power this year, son of a murdering usurper named Michael II, who murdered his erstwhile friend, the prior Emperor who had also murdered to get the purple, Leo V. Theophilus was a back-to-the-Bible guy, so warred with the harlot iconophiles. He had good victories against the Arabs which can be considered miraculous, and historians consider the 'reconstruction period' ends with Theo. These first three years cover him seeking punishment against Leo V's murderers (since his own dad was dead), and initial mixed success defeating the invading Arabs. With the people he was regarded as so just, they quipped he'd be a judge in the afterlife.
God doesn't quite agree. Can't outlaw faith, even if it's wrong. But this shows how the horns hate the harlot. Same went on under Charlemagne, who at this point has been dead 15 years, for he sought to control and dictate to the clergy how they should behave, what they should teach, etc. That is whoredom.
Revelation 17:18 แผก ฮณฯ ฮฝแฝด at syllables 838-40, runs 926 ~ 928 AD, sevens at 840-742, in between. This also exactly intersects with Mark's huios nest in Mark 13:26, which is discussed in Mark 13 future-maps Byzantine History, covering Constantine VII just when the boy is now age 21, which then as now was regarded as 'adult' (never mind the toga virilis), but his regents weren't relinquishing power to him. The sevening of 98 shockingly accords with Mark 13:26's text, which is how all eyes will see The Son of Man coming in the clouds at the Second Advent. Maybe it's satire on the fact that huios means adult adopted son (both adult and adopted are inherent in the term), but like Christ, Constantine VII wasn't regarded at his own advent. By contrast, if we add in the 908-911 beast clause: same period in Matthew 24:29b covers his birth to age 20 (born 905, end of Matthew 24:9a) runs: ฮบฮฑแฝถ แผก ฯฮตฮปฮฎฮฝฮท ฮฟแฝ ฮดฯฯฮตฮน ฯแฝธ ฯฮญฮณฮณฮฟฯ ฮฑแฝฯแฟฯ, ฮบฮฑแฝถ ฮฟแผฑ แผฯฯฮญฯฮตฯ ฯฮตฯฮฟแฟฆฮฝฯฮฑฮน แผฯแฝธ ฯฮฟแฟฆ ฮฟแฝฯฮฑฮฝฮฟแฟฆ. Zechariah 14, idea of total darkness just before Second Advent, whereas Mark's language is Second Advent (see Hebrews 12).
I'm not sure why these years are stressed with the religious harlotry theme; they must be important, for John to deliberately overlap the exact same years with Mark 13:26's exact occurrence of huios; which proves, John was counting syllables, too. Constantine's mother was his regent until 920 when Romanos I took over that job, promptly married his 9-year-old daughter to the then 14 years old Constantine VII... And remained head regent far too long; eventually deposed by his own kids.
Of course, the gune at the end of verse 18 ends up being Constantine's own daughter-in-law Theophanu, ersatz daughter of an innkeeper, loved wife of Romanos II, marrying him at the end of the verse... So there's that. She does end up prostituting herself when Romanos dies in 963, by marrying Nikephoros II Phokas, to protect her young children by Romanos. One of these, Anna, will become the object of distastrous marital negotiation; ironically, another Theophano, niece of widowed former Empress Theophano's alleged lover and next Emperor John Tzimiskes, will end up marrying Otto I's kid. Do you think God has a sense of humor, to end Revelation 17 on this prophetic, punning note?
'Beast' References
Focus on the rulers of the polities: beast = polity or ruler of it (contrasts with seraphim 'beasts' in Revelation 4)
Revelation 17:3 ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ syllables 117-9, runs 205 ~ 207 AD, first instance. Downfall and Severan recovery after Plautianus. Not sure what it addresses, other than Severan institutionalized deceit: Septimius claimed himself a son of Marcus Aurelius, though everyone knew he was from Lepcis; Matthew 24:4b&5a content tie, but years don't match enough. By contrast, this Revelation 17:3 tags Ephesians 1:8b and Mark 13:5.
Revelation 17:7 ฯฮฟแฟฆ ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฯ syllables 328-11 runs 416 ~ 419 AD, sevens at 327-117. Clearly tags Paul's Ephesians 1:9 using musterion to satirize Severan mothers who claimed incest with Caracalla to get back in power. Now, 200 years later, two other women scheme using Church specifically: Byzantium anti-Semite Pulcheria, starts up a cult of herself at this point (search for "414" regarding "The Regency of Pulcheria": which is a followup to the gunaikos tag earlier in verse 7). In the West, the other woman who'll be centered in verse 8a, Gallia Placida; her brother Emperor Honorius married her off to a general. Then he dies childless, so her son takes the purple. Again, corresponding years in Matthew 24:12 text are biting, but not aligned.
Revelation 17:8a ฮคแฝธ ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ syllables 356-9 runs 444 ~ 447 AD, sevens at 356-328. You can say Matthew 24:14's first six syllables tie, in withering sarcasm; yeah, the beast John saw was not, in his day; it would take the rise of Christianity, to create such a monstrosity. Story of the dominating women 'preaching', one over Valentinian III in the West, and in the East... Still ugly Pulcheria who ramps up a cult of herself during these years, to compete with Theo II's wife (who she picked out ๐). Historians consider Valentinian III's rule to be the turning point breaking down the West irrevocably (loss of Africa, and here in 444, Spain), which created the inability to raise sufficient taxes to defend whatever territory was gained. As for the East, this business of women taking over young men becomes a Byzantine refrain, and frankly all their history is tainted by it, e.g., later rise of iconoclasm to get back to the Bible; but women ruling over young emperors, reversed it.
Revelation 17:8b ฯแฝธ ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ syllables 432-5 runs 520 ~ 523 AD, 490 years after Cross (which Matthew 24 marks as 490); sevens at 434-357. Long before Justin I died, his heir Justinian I got law changed to marry Theodora, in 523. He's first consul in 521 (suspected of murdering consul in 520); already acts as if Emperor.
Revelation 17:11 ฯแฝธ ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ syllables 518-21 runs 606 ~ 609 AD, sevens at 518-434. Anaphoric center. Turning point, because Justinian I had overextended the Empire much as Trajan had the West. So too, after Justinian died, there ensued a series of financial and invasion problems usurpers used, to grab imperial power. One of these was Phocas, which this verse 11 tags. The family will rise again and again in Byzantine history from this point on. Ten years later, the series of purple musical chairs without solution to her overstretching financial problems, will reach its nadir when Byzantine loses Egypt, under Heraclius. Byzantine was by then, under attack from all sides, lots of internal religious strife with various prelates arguing whether Christ was one nature or two, greatly exacerbated the period (to 641 when Heraclius dies). It will continue to characterize Byzantine Empire for its lifetime.
Revelation 17:12 ฯฮฟแฟฆ ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฯ syllables 601-4 runs 689-92 AD, sevens at 602-518, seems wrong? Covers Justinian II from age 21 (he became Emperor at 17), early good years of his first reign. However, he persecuted the Manicheans and apparently went against cherished traditions, though still Orthodox to the point of convening councils to see if there could be rapproachment with Rome; when the Pope rejected those councils, Justinian II wanted to arrest the Pope in Ravenna. After Justinian II was deposed in 695, he got help from the Bulgars, regained the throne in 705, then:
- tried to unite with a new pope he appointed, and ~
- warred against those who helped him regain power.
In between both reigns: another Byzantine Constantinople plague outbreak (first one happened under his namesake, Justinian I, around 542), symbolizing political plague of musical emperors, which historians now call the Twenty Years' Anarchy; which his first deposition, triggered. Clever text, verse 12, as there were indeed 10 horns but no power, all fighting with the beast. 7 of the 10 are listed in previous link: the other three are Justinian II first time and his son second time, plus Leo III, who ended the anarchy.
Revelation 17:13 ฯแฟท ฮธฮทฯฮฏแฟณ syllables 626-9 runs 714 ~ 717 AD, sevens at 629-601. Start of the iconoclastic movement in the wake of Siege of Constantinople 717 which Leo III won... But barely. Mark singles him out, using him to start a kurios anaphora nest, at Mark 13:20. These years close the Twenty Years' Anarchy (see verse 12's end note), include reluctant usurper Theodosius III, with Leo defeating him in in 717 without harm to Theodosius III. Immediately, Leo III was faced with the second Arab siege; his bare win resulted in him gaining popularity as the 'restorer of the Empire', enough to launch the iconoclasm movement in earnest. The Pope wasn't happy with it at all. But the Ostrogoths were; so too, the new mayors of the palace, over the last Merovingians. For they all had 'one mind' regarding: problem of the Arab invasion; the papacy, was a burden.
Revelation 17:16 ฯแฝธ ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ syllables 731-4 runs 819 ~ 822 AD, sevens at 731-626. Seems to tag Matthew 24:26c. Aftermath of Charlemagne's death. In the West, fighting by his grandsons over who gets what. Each faction tried to get papal support. The lone son surviving was Louis the Pious who would end up spending the rest of his life fighting with his own sons. The impetus for those fights began in 819, just after Louis' beloved wife died, and he was in deep mourning for her. He himself had also had a close brush with death, so formulated a succession plan which granted more to the son of his wife than the other kids; so Bernard rebelled, Louis had him blinded which caused B's death, and by 822 Louis was so conscience-stricken, he made public atonement before the Pope; his subjects saw this as weakness. By 820 also, he remarried and had yet another son, revised his succession plans accordingly, to the consternation of his other sons. So by 823, they conspired to depose him, with some clerics granting support for Louis' downfall.
In the East, again Revelation 17 tags Mark, this time at his 13:22, semeion anaphora. Irene got ousted in 802, then musical-chair usurping emperors killing each other. Here, the one killed, himself got into power by killing, Leo V; he's murdered in 820 on Christmas day inside a church by his former friend, who then takes over as Michael II.
Revelation 17:17 ฯแฟท ฮธฮทฯฮฏแฟณ syllables 820-3 runs 908 ~ 911 AD, sevens at 823-732, in between. See also the gune note for verse 18. Charlemagne's male line in West or East Francia dies out in 911. The next year, a baby boy is born later known as Otto I, the first be legally Holy Roman Emperor since Charles the Fat was deposed in 888. In the East, 908 saw baby Constantine VII crowned; yet in 912 when Otto was born, Constantine VII's dad Leo VI died. Two births. Two deaths. The deaths cause the born, to inherit. Had the Carolingians not died in 911, fat chance Otto would have been crowned; there'd have been no pope offer to crown his dad, when Otto was 3. Constantine was 3 when his Emperor dad died. Good Greek drama: John counts syllables for a dramatic future pairing (or God had him do it that way and John didn't know why).
Here's the punchline: Otto I's son will marry the niece of the Byzantine Emperor whose accession depended on him exiling (Constantine VII's) the Empress mother, on the grounds she was his lover (true or not, no one knows). The niece will have the same name as the mother, becomes Holy Roman Empress; her son will be Otto III, also a Holy Roman Emperor.
