1 Peter 1:1-12 Meter

84 is dateline and cross-references: Moses' Psalm 90,  God's Time Decree: 70 years (=1050, 70 is the connector, 490+70+490), + 14 = years Temple Reconstruction runs over between 586BC and 446BC (Temple Down to Jerusalem walls rebuilt), versus her allotment.  Isaiah 53 explained that allotment in two 126-meters, split Moses' 84 in 42's, showing Decree of 1^st David to Last David (see my Psalm 90 playlist). Matthew 1's 42 generations plays on Isa52:13-14 (start of Isa53 in Hebrew); Luke 3's generations plays on Isa52:13-15 (Christ as 77^th son, David died at age 77), to include Gentiles (since Isa52:15 is on prophecy for Gentiles).  Paul then plays on 84 to add or subtract 7 from it.  Peter plays on both Psalm 90 and Paul's style.  The 7 is subsumed in Psalm 90, as Time To Be Fulfilled.  Paul in Eph1:3-14 covers the 4 'quarters' of Church (precedence of Noah In Ark), to show Trends of Church Age (John later updates them in Rev1-3, and maybe 6).  84 as dateline: 84 years prior, Herod started 3^rd Temple;  84 sevens prior, God told Zerubbabel to Rebuild, Haggai 2.  For Peter's Theme, is Will Church Remain Standing Long Enough for Rapture to Properly Occur.  John will play on this theme using keyverb menw (to abide, remain, stay, be-at-home) in his Gospel and 1 John.

56 'tags' Paul, but also Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, Mary in Magnificat; they all metered that WARNING;  56 = days between 1^st Day of Passover and Pentecost, AND between Pentecost and 9^th Ab.  The latter is focus of Peter's letter, as Temple was then under siege. 140 plays on years between 586BC and 446BC (Temple Down to Jerusalem walls rebuilt), parallels Paul's meter showing Bar Kochba (resulting in Aeolia Capitolina in 140AD, 70 years after Herod's Temple destroyed).  Moses elided it, in Psalm 90's 350 years, as a cliffhanger, whether a yet-future Temple would last. (Ps90:16-17.)  Peter plots 122-140AD as an EXIT WINDOW;  spread repeats until v.12, for times to LEAVE areas controlled by Rome.  This, to preserve both believer and Bible from attackers, whether Christian, Jewish, or pagan.  For Peter's theme is also What It Takes To Keep Church Standing.

231-140 = 91, reverse parallel to Paul's '2^nd quarter' meter for Year of Church; plays on Year Noah in Boat, like Daniel did.  Also plays on God's Metered Reply, Dan 9:24-27.  Also plays on and adds the pregnant 14 to, Mary's ending meter count of 217 in her Magnificat.  She also was playing on Dan 9:24-27, but left out the 14 on purpose.  Paul adds it back in, as does Peter, now that Church is born.  Also, Peter invokes Isaiah 53:4's TEMPLE DOWN (verse ends at 586BC in his meter), syllable 203.  Daniel benchmarks it also in Dan 9:12, to continue his Track 2 and 3 Timeline (down to Rome's rise, which Mary uses as her jumping-off point for the Magnificat).  Note also how the green-shaded section together comprises a 70 (continues on next page).  Moses used this same kind of overlay.

259-231=28; Peter's interim VOTE clause is 2x  Paul's (between 2^nd and 3^rd  quarters, Eph1:10).  Why?  The 259 invokes Isaiah 53:6c at Cyrus' death;  Daniel used the same clause  (waYHWH hiphghi) as his 'calendar' for when to pray, 7-8 years prior.  So the invocation comes to mean Temple Rebuilding Yes.

350 - 259 = 91; Peter tracks to Paul's 3^rd  quarter in years, but reverse-meters to Paul's 1^st quarter, implying a new 'spring'.  The 273 ties exactly to Isaiah 53:7b, when Zerubbabel began rebuilding in Haggai 2, finishing at 516BC (end of clause, see Ezra 6:15) -- to remind reader of Peter's 84-sevens dateline, reinforcing his THEME.  350 invokes end of Psalm 90, cliffhanger threat to Temple Standing, last two verses.

434 – 350 = 84; Peter syncopates  but balances to Paul's 4^th quarter, still truncates 7 syllables.   He comes full circle to his own 84.  Text of verses 10-12 are parenthetical, a  postscript, commentary on Eph1:13-14, and seem to explain that the writers he cross-referenced by meter earlier (most notably Daniel 9, via the 434 here) – that these writers all knew they were writing for Church as well as Israel.  Moreover, Peter never 'sevens' to match Paul in the AD column, until 434.  Of course, that's the 62 weeks in Daniel 9:25-26 = a time reimbursement for the 364 years the Temple Was Standing, plus reimbursing the 70 after Temple Rebuilt.  There are three 70's: 586-516, 516-446, then the 49 is New Time (reimbursing sabbatical years KEPT), taking 'Time' to 397BC when OT Canon completed;  then come the remaining 62 weeks, taking you to 37AD when Christ was then scheduled to DIE (1000^th anniversary of David's death at age 77, all of which Isaiah 53 had plotted out).  So the last 70 reimbursement for the new 364 years of 2^nd Temple Standing, is from 33BC when Augustus rises, to 37AD when Tiberius dies. Cute. Peter draws parallel to all that, even as Paul had done.  So the FALL of the Western (and initial) Roman Empire is also analogized full-circle to its own beginning, as Odovacer rises and gets his prophecy of greatness, circa 434AD.  Scholars miss all this, because they don't read 1Kings 6:1 in context of the prior chapters, so don't realize that verse tells you a) David died 3 years prior, at b) age 77.  Compare to last seven chapters (one per year) of 1 Chronicles, which covers what David did after his retirement.  They also make the mistake of measuring Daniel 9 in lunar years, when Bible only uses SOLAR (see Exo 12;  Israel would forever miss her BIRTHDAY if she used lunar years).  So they don't realize Christ died SEVEN YEARS EARLY, giving rise to the pregnant '14', for CHURCH. 

483 - 434 = 49  = end Daniel 9:26.  Peter ends in a postscript cliff hanger, 'Will Church Complete?  The few-months-later Book of Hebrews answers the question (in Hebrews 11:39-40).  The 49 is Daniel's 1^st dateline, to symbolize APOSTASY which led to Temple Down and Israel's eviction; as Daniel 9 so poignantly recounts, king by king, in his prayer meter.
