Precedenting 'I write you' meter style.  Paul writes end June 4162.75 Adamic, aka ad 56.  'Like this:  I Paul, write you in the

o         8th year after I wrote Galatians (4155.25; so +7.5 hence 8th year later = 4162.75), which was

o         19 years after I was 'sent'(= apostolos = apostellw, to be sent as emissary by King/gov't) by the Resurrected Jesus Christ on the Damascus Road (4155.25 -19 = 4136.25. Note: the .25 means three months after the Lord died circa 1st week July, ad 30).  So I now write

o         26 years after He died (4136 +26 = 4162, pun on 8 +19 =27, as Paul writes in 27th year), at His Age

o         33, though He should have been Age

o         40, dying instead in Year

o         (41)46, and thus now should be (instead of age 59.5) in His

o         58th year. (4162.75 +.25 – 4106, the year He should have been born on Abrahamic schedule, had David been crowned on time = 57 age, which at birthday in 4163 would have begun the 58th year; so in typical 'full circle' style ever since Psalm 90 then Isaiah, Daniel and Mary's meter, Paul comes full circle from his own conversion back in 4136 when the Lord actually died, to when Paul writes now.)  Which in 10 years – you know, to 'pay back' the 10 year shortage on the 2100 allotment from Abraham back in 2046? -- Would put Him in His

o         68th year (instead of 70th, haha), in the

o         (10)77th year of King David's crowning at Hebron!  [Paul puns the syllable = years First David's Birth to Last David's Death in Isaiah 53's Hebrew, including its two ellipses, as follows.  4172.75 – 4106 = age 67 hence 68th year.  4172.75 +.25 = 4173 -3096, which was the 1050th 'birthday' of Abraham's maturation, when David was crowned at Hebron.  So difference is 4173 -3096 = 1077.  Heh.  Paul makes a whole chain of 1077s in Ephesians' meter (click on the link 'Year 1077s' at bottom of the Title page, since the htm version isn't aligned).  I didn't know why.  Now for the first time, maybe I can figure them out.  Here's why the 1077 matters.  Isaiah 53 is really 1078 syllables, for the number of years between first David's birth and last David's Scheduled Death = 154x7.  Isaiah mapped two ellipses to get to that total, since Isaiah 53 in Hebrew (not English) is 462 syllables.  So you have to add them: a) 252 ellipsis after Isaiah 52:15, gap between Isaiah counseling Hezekiah beginning in 714 bc and David's death back in 963 bc per 1Kings 6:1, which 'scholars' perpetually misread, so they don't know Bible there flatly says David died at age 77.  Daniel 9's meter addressed the 252 and so does John in his Revelation dateline.  Next, the other ellipsis in Isaiah 53, b) straddles close of Malachi at end of Isa53:10 = 397 bc = end of last pre-Christ historical 70-year voting period (row 149 in this link), which Matthew tags as his first dateline, writing 427 years later.  Ellipsis is 364 years Temple Standing by the time it dies (last dateline meter in Revelation too), 126 years short of its allotment, basis for the 'seven weeks', Tribulation 'week' and the ensconced 70 inside '62 weeks' (=364+70), in Dan9:26 (reimburse owed 1st Temple Time).]

 

Paul also uses the following formulas, which were explained in the first Romans videos.

o         77*.5 years after ad 18. (The Lord turned age 21.  Can't find any noteworthy Roman event; only the building of Tiberias in Israel.  in 19 ad there's the so-called expulsion of the Jews, and Germanicus dies.  Don't see how that's relevant.  Must be some other event.)

o         77*.5 years before the outer limit of the Millennium (4201 vernal start = 4201.5 Adamic).

o         77th  year from c. 20 bc, start of Herod's reconstruction of 2nd Temple.  (This is relevant, though I'm not sure I grasp how the text of Romans relates, except that the believer is now the Temple under construction.)

o         77 years before the endpoint in Zecharias' meter.  Paul shows how that prophecy comes to pass.

o         119*.5 years after Christ was born, His AGE (59.5=119/2), hahahaha. This is determinative. 

o         119*.5 years before 4222, I don't know why.  Maybe it's not valid.

o         119 years after 62 bc (birth of Augustus, Caesar becomes praetor, Pompey finishes conquering the East)

o         119 years before 4282, I don't know why.  Maybe it's not valid.

 

Paul goes prophetic, beginning at 68.  I don't yet know what he's saying about the future.  There are other obvious meters, like 90 for Trib start, and 97 for Mill start, so I know he's metering prophecy (as a kind of progress report).  First prophecy is really strident: when the Lord should have been 68, Paul will be executed= our ad 68.  I wonder if he knew that.  It also began the Year of the Four Emperors, Nero dying three months after Paul (assuming Paul executed in March, couldn't be January and wouldn't be April, Vindex having announced Empire-wide rebellion on March 9 or so).
