roughly 1470 years 365.24 day year from Nisan 16 1440 BC is April 16, 31 AD.

Question is that a Wednesday?

Starting from the astronomical new moon sliver day, I know the sliver moon is normally sighted one or two days from then, April 3-4. If Nisan 1 was April 3 then Nisan 14 was Nisan 17 I counted forward by 7 day intervals until I got to the middle Spring 31AD in, when 31ADT(Torah) had also begun.

To see what would happen if 31ADT followed a leap year, meaning the whole year would’ve been pushed forward by a month, starting with ‘Nisan 1,’ I saw that Nisan 1 would’ve been ~ May 10.

I got that by verifying the ‘astronomical new moon’ (meaning no sliver). It was May 9. So I assumed the sliver was sighted on May 10th. That would’ve made May 24 = Nisan 14, the Passover Preparation Day – the day of Christ’s Crucifixion. Astronomy shows that on May 25, the moon was at it’s fullest. May 24 was was the fourth day of the week according to the backward count from 1440BC that I did.


What if:

May 24th 31 AD = Nisan 14, 31 ADT was the CRUCIFIXION DATE?

The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt. . . .In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.” Exodus 16:1-5

Ive removed my calculations, for now because it wasn’t very readable, but the point is that it’s possible to know when the Wednesdays were in the Spring of 31 AD both before and after a leap year and that both April and May of 31 AD could’ve been the month Jesus Christ was crucified.

In the 1st century, the Pharisees were still using leap years for their Torah calendar while Sadducees used a solar civil calendar. Although the mathematical Metonic calendar was known to both groups it didn’t become completely reliable, in their eyes, until around the fourth century. The following is a totally awesome resource!

Stages of Lunar Eclipse

Just to complete the study, there was apparently a 35% lunar eclipse late on April 25, 31 AD Julian, and it’s been reported as having been on a Wednesday (see chart below) but that’s not true according to the day counting method I used based on the Bible, which shows April 25 as a Monday! Very strange! But, it’s difficult to find a correct day of a week going far backward in time using modern calendar calculators, because even the proleptic Gregorian calculator, especially designed to do perform backward tracking doesn’t claim to have corrected for the errors of the days of the week, caused when when the Julian was replaced with the Gregorian.

So April could only work if we use April 27, which is possible if the new moon sliver had a two day delay in it’s sighting due to weather or other disruption conditions.

31 ADT is the only year that seems to work perfectly with both the start of God’s calendar given to Moses in 1440 BC and the start of Daniel’s 70th week of beginning on Nisan 1 2024, which began after the Great American Eclipse. Nisan 1 is the first day of the God’s Torah year.

Of course anyone would ask: Doesn’t there have to be a lunar eclipse? explained below.

But fortunately very few reported findings a delayed 31 AD. (Why not? Almost 1/3 of Torah years followed a delay. it’s a crucial concept keeping God in ultimate control – not giving over His calendar to a mathematical foruls mt) I haven’t seen any wrong charts on a delayed Nisan. It works for a 31 AD crucifixion so I have no need to prove anything else, although it may have also been in April. The actual month doesn’t effect the rest of the end times timeline which only have to be resolved to years.

But fortunately very few have even looked at the delayed 31 AD – I haven’t seen any wrong charts on a delayed Nisan. It works for a 31 AD crucifixion so I have no need to prove anything else, although it may have also been in April. The actual month doesn’t effect the rest of the end times timeline which only have to be resolved to years.

On the other hand, for April, I’ve found startling variations regarding the astronomical new moon dates and days of the week from different Bible expositors. Among those, sometimes April works for a Wednesday Crucifixion if Nisan is assumed to have begun with a late naked eye sighting. (That’s legitimate: see post 6.The day No men Knew.) Researchers must be very careful whose charts they use, because many Bible scholars have tried to force the astronomy to fit their theological assumptions and visa versa. Also advanced Bible expositors can sometimes simply not realize that they are novices with calendricals, not understanding that the Gregorian disrupted the days of the week. It’s no small thing even AI has trouble with it.

There was too much to say about all this, so I had to mostly put it aside in order to focus on the Countdown. But, I need to point out that . . .

31 ADT is the only year that works perfectly with both the start of God’s calendar given to Moses in 1440 BC and the start of Daniel’s 70th week having begun on Nisan 9, 2024, following the Great American Eclipse. Nisan 1 is the first day of God’s Torah year. Although 31AD works best, 30 AD can be made to work if non inclusive counting is used for the 40 years until the temple was destroyed. I use 30 AD originally.
