As Moses did in Psalm 90, Mary's Magnificat Time Poem outlines Time backward and forward from her day of speaking: centering on, the Chanukah birthdate for Christ. No one in Christendom knows about this. So, I'm documenting it; so, you can vet the Greek yourself. This is a separate subplaylist (of 11s GGS). If you're having trouble following my Bible Hebrew Meter playlists, start here: for in this subseries, I demonstrate how you VET text for meter. At first, I wasn't sure Mary's Magnificat qualified as a 'time poem', so here you see how I test it. So I'm surprised to find this meter, and how it's actually TAGGED BY PAUL in Ephesians 1:3-14. He derives his meter pattern, from hers. No wonder he uses the pregnancy metaphors: she did. Shocks me.

Master doc on it: MagnificatMeterDraft2.doc

See also Lord Born on Chanukah 4 BC playlist, and Psalm 90, Isaiah 53 playlists, because Mary's playing on all those meters. Paul then plays on Mary, which surprises me.

These all use a Hebrew metering rhetorical style unknown to Christendom: so the videos are fun, but heavy. So, I must show the evidence live onscreen, so you can vet it.

This series has three parts: GGS11s is the subseries showing how Mary's meter works, in order to better explain Paul's. But the 'Synoptics' and 'Jim3' (and later) videos, demonstrate ties between her meter, and how James and Luke both use her meter. The 'Jim' series of videos is also housed in the James 1-2 Meter and Exegesis channel, if you'd rather watch them solo. They Synoptic videos are separately housed in Synoptics.

GIST: Ever since Psalm 90 was penned, it was known that Christ's death was Scheduled to occur NO LATER than 'our' 37AD. Ever since David was crowned King over All Israel, it was known from 1Kings 6:1 that Christ had to be born ON the 1000th anniversary of that crowning. For The Day of the Lord had to be 1000 years, Psalm 90:4. The first 'day' started with the First David; so the last 'day', would culminate with the Last David. So He had to be born ON TIME, or else God would break His 2Sam7 Promise to David (and through him to Israel, since she lost out by electing Saul, 1Sam8-13, compared with 2Sam7). Ouch.

In case someone forgot that rule, God reminded Zerubabbel of it, in Haggai 2, coming TWICE (heh, God-man, two natures in one person) on 25 Chislev -- 2nd Temple's founding anniversary, which 357 years later would be known also as Chanukah. And the 1000th anniversary was what? 4BC, by our calendars.

Hence the moniker '11s'. One Birthdate Deadline, One Christ, One Salvation, One Specific Schedule that He come in the 11th hour (Gal4:4); and then Pay, just before 'midnight'.

Mary knew that. So Mary Meter Maps from 1st Chanukah to Messiah, to future Millennium, just as Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, and Daniel had done. Here, she uses Daniel's 73-meter dateline to begin her own, piggybacking on his ending meter at Rome's Rise -- to begin at first Chanukah, 73 years LATER. Then she 'balances' Time at her future Son's age 56, as that would be 40 years before the Millennium was then SCHEDULED to start. Paul picks up his meter where Mary leaves off, in Eph 1:3-14. What a shock.

So, starting here with 11s2 GGS -- for 11s1 is now outdated, I got it wrong the first time -- this 'channel' (playlist) replicates all videos in the Youtube Magnificat playlist (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8E0CA478D2DE276F). For the Magnificat functions as an OT-to-NT intermission or even 'Act', between Daniel 9's prophetic meter 'play' in Daniel 9, and Paul's later metered NT 'reply' to Mary's meter, in his Ephesians 1:3-14.

For Mary, as soon as she alights from her donkey on visiting her cousin Elizabeth, launches into a metered prophecy which was immediately recognized as Divine. Zecharias will, when he recovers speech, play to her meter with his own metered prophetic 'reply'. Luke thus records both speeches in Luke 1, which by then had long been regarded as Canon.

So what is the importance of Mary's meter? Well, as Moses did in Psalm 90, Mary's Magnificat Time Poem outlines Time backward and forward from her day of speaking: centering on, the Chanukah birthdate for Christ.

No one in Christendom knows about this. So, I'm documenting it; so, you can vet the Greek yourself. This is a separate subplaylist (11s GGS). If you're having trouble following my Bible Hebrew Meter playlists, start here: for in this subseries, I also show how you VET text for meter.

Paul TAGS her meter, Ephesians 1:3-14. He even derives his meter pattern, from hers (and Zecharias'). No wonder he uses the pregnancy metaphors: she did. Shocks me. Master doc on it, is MagnificatMeterDraft2.doc. The PDF version is MagnificatMeterDraft2.pdf.

See also Lord Born on Chanukah 4 BC playlist in Youtube, and the Psalm 90 'channel' (playlist), here in Vimeo (or Youtube); for Mary plays on all those meters.

She also plays deftly on many OT passages, as does Isaiah. So to show that, Episodes 10-21 of my vimeo 'synoptics' channel (playlist) are here added. View them in tandem with MaryMagnificatMeterDraft2.pdf's 'ZakarChart' (page 21), to get a quick view of how the two soliloquies, interrelate with the OT verses. Very obvious CHANUKAH meaning, but in classical sotto voce GREEK style. Later episodes in the Synoptics (after Epi.21) will also show that ZakarChart section, to lead back to Luke's tracking of Matthew.

Again, this Bible meter is unknown to Christendom. Hence I must show the evidence live onscreen, so you can vet it.

Protties flunk, here. December 25 is CHANUKAH, as I've been documenting since 2004; since 2008, in videos. CENTERPIECE OF HISTORY, this date, all Bible dates hub to it, even as they focus to Passover, when He died. Lord's Birth and death dates are the 'hub' around which God designed TIME. Hebrews 1:3 says as much (always mistranslated, should be THE TIMES or 'ages', not 'worlds').

Key to proving the Chanukah 4BC birthdate, are Exodus 12 (SOLAR YEAR accounting should have been Israel's calendar, but she messed it up); Haggai 2:21-23 (which Mary quotes in her Magnificat, a TIME POEM which uses meter to key off first Chanukah), and the fact that both Passover and Chanukah are Israel INDEPENDENCE days, which you miss if you don't value calendar on SOLAR year.

That's why Matthew uses 'star'=light=angel in Matt 2, why Luke uses angels and light in Luke 2, why Zecharias talks about light to the Gentiles, in his soliloquy -- keying off, MARY. Her accounting switches to Christ-Birthday accounting, at her syllable 160. Paul picks up on that, and keys off Mary, dating Eph1:3-14, at Christ's age 56, right before His 57th birthday. Anno Domini!

So if you were gonna pick a Rapture or 2nd Advent Date (and you shouldn't), pick CHRISTMAS aka CHANUKAH for His Arrival. For both Paul and Mary START TIME OVER, at His Birth. Exodus was a birthday present to Moses; so I'd bet money Rapture or 2nd Advent will be a birthday present to Christ. Just a guess.

Excepting the videos on Ephesians and Magnificat, all related webpages and videos are organized under PassPlot.htm#HisBday to show this story. That webpage covers how God orchestrated the Jewish calendar to depict the pattern of WORLD HISTORY, which most Jews and many Dispensationalist pastors, kinda know. But they don't know how vast is the proof of this, in Bible. I wouldn't have known either, except my pastor suddenly separated himself from the common Prottie kant that the Lord was born in the spring, since December would be 'too cold'; look up that silly argument in ISBE, k?

My pastor was getting sick with Alzheimer's in year 2000, when he broke with Prottie 'tradition', so couldn't explain why he switched to December 25. That's why I had to go looking in Bible. He said it was Chanukah 4 BC. Upset the congregation, by his insistence.

Yeah, and now I can furnish proof. In six playlists, and very long webpages documenting it all. Where to start? Depends on what angle you prefer. Suggest you use the above webpage link, reading until your eyes glaze over. It shows the comprehensive design 'fit' of the Jewish holidays, and how they depict the 'year' of human history. That's a parallel to the 'year' Noah spent in the boat, which Paul parallels in four 'quarters' (playing of Zecharias playing off Mary, both using '91' meters).

Once you see the big picture, it will be easier to slog through the dates, Bible verses, etc. provided in the page. AFTER that, the next slogging is through the videos. Depends on whether you want to start with the minutiae, or the big picture.

Big-picture playlists are Psalm 90 Meter of Time and YMH Episode 10. Both playlists are featured (in alpha order) on my channel page.

At the other end, the 10-11 GGS series covers Paul and Mary's Magnificat meter. Many videos, and not yet done; for Paul's meter outlines FUTURE CHURCH HISTORY to the end of the Western Roman Empire, which spawned my RCC videos now, here. Currently, I'm on Diocletian-Constantine, Paul's syllables = AD years, 283-337. Like Mary, Paul uses his own A.D. accounting, which is surprisingly like ours. I can't yet explain why.

Mary's Magnificat meter is a GGS subset, and was spun off into a separate playlist. She specifically TAGS to first Chanukah, playing off Daniel 9. Word docs in the video descriptions, give you her live Bible Greek text (UBS4, BGT, pasted from BibleWorks) -- so you can vet it; I walk the viewer through that doc.

Both playlists are on my channel page.

Finally, in the Synoptics series, right now the focus is on Chanukah references in Haggai 2 which tie to Matthew 1-2, and Luke 1-2. That's been ongoing for the last ten weeks. Very little Greek used. So if you prefer translations, maybe start there.

The info is vast, testable, and conclusive. It will overwhelm you.

This video is now outdated. See 11s2 GGS for the UPDATED METER: MagnificatMeterDraft2.pdf. The other relevant links follow below, in this video description.

To my fellow Greek Geeks: need your feedback on the elision assumptions here shown in the Magnificat. I'm trying to vet the syllable counts to see if a) Paul maps to the Magnificat in Ephesians 1:3-14, and b) whether the Magnificat itself is yet another 'time poem' retrospectively and prospectively (prophetically) measuring Time at one syllable per year, just as Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, Daniel 9 all do. This meter is based on the OT, so is not subject to Greek drama or poetry rules. Just count the syllables. Usually, one consonant and one vowel=one syllable, though combined vowels and combined consonants might also be counted only as one syllable (i.e., 'sha' is one syllable, 'shai' also one, etc.)

There are no syllable adjustments for stress or pronunciation elongation, etc. But elision is recognized, and affects the meter count. Because, you memorized text orally. So now it vitally matters to learn how THEY pronounced words in 1st century -- NOT Modern Greek! The meter will tell you that. Catch-22!

Proper 'elegant' elision of either Greek or Latin, was a big debate in Mary's time. Read about five pages before through five pages after this link: Pronunciation of Ancient Greek

So for ancient Bible students, that means ATTIC standards should be used. Alexander would have relied on well-known plays to help advance his goal of a 'common' language, and Mary even uses Atticisms here. So that's the pronunciation key I'll follow.

Syllable counts were to verify accuracy. As a bonus, the syllable counts result in a sevening or trebling meter with prophetic or expository value.

In short, do not impose Western standards of poetry or meter on the Bible text. Instead, count syllables as if you were testing your memory for accuracy. The result is an astonishing accounting for Time: for God treats Time as a loan, given for a purpose, cancelled or changed if that purpose isn't met; reimbursed, if that purpose is met. The reimbursement of Temple Time, is really the theme of Daniel 9. But the topic started, in Psalm 90.

It is but a first draft. I've not sufficiently proofed its Notes for sense. First I must verify the meter, then will go back and change the notes. Hence this video requesting your feedback on the syllabification and elision. Thank you!

There are about 30 rhetorical-style 'time poem' characteristics to test; central to them all, is the right syllable count. Usually that's not a problem, but here are so many potential elisions to avoid 'hiatus', I'm not sure what to count as elided. So your input is most appreciated, thank you!

Magnificat as a Meter of Time, With Metered Translation. Word doc of the METER: MagnificatMeterDraft2.doc. Change the suffix to 'pdf' for the pdf version. Associated Magnificat Calendar: MagnificatCalendar.xls.

Video covers how during Mary's day, the Greek and Latin rhetoricians were debating the proper pronunciation of their languages -- specifically, with reference to elision, which they called 'hiatus' and 'krasis'. Those two terms are philosophical, as well as philological, the idea being to reconcile their philosophy and their language. Rhetoric was THE way to be respected in those days, so the elites spent much time learning it, debating it. A short statement about that, is here: https://books.google.com/books?id=SEsTAAAAYAAJ&vq=This+combination+of+vowels&pg=PA128&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q="this combination of vowels"&f=false

Read the text a few pages before and after the section which you see. You can download that book for free. There are many other books on the topic, but for video purposes that one offers the shortest confirmation of what was happening in rhetorical circles at the time Mary speaks.

Mary is an elite. She follows the conventions of her time. So in calculating her syllables, I follow the conventions she was taught. Thus the meter pattern suddenly becomes much more provable, and exhibits the same characteristics as past Bible writers Moses, Isaiah, Daniel.

It becomes obvious why Paul obsesses over pregnancy analogies; obvious, that he's tagging Mary's meter, in Ephesians.

Finally, the Magnificat's syllables are 'wrapped' by the Lukan 'and Mary said', which is an introduction. That 4-syllable addition might serve to tell us how to adjust our BC/AD dates. Will know more, as I study the issue further.

Doctrinal Meter Precedence for Mary's Magnificat, explained. Meter and meaning are intertwined, enabling better interpretation of a passage. Here we get a simple overview of how they work together. Like the other Bible writers, she ends her metered timeline to balance to the then-scheduled Millennium (year 4200 from Adam's fall, had there been no Church).. minus 14. Then, she subtracts 42, to 'equal' the beginning of Isaiah 53:12, which in Isaiah's meter timeline, represents where SHE IS LOCATED. So she ends with a 'balance' of 40 years to the Millennium. Pregnantly.

This totals Christ Age 56 (long after He was even scheduled to die at age 40), explaining why Paul picks up with 56. Both of them 'tag' the 'sixty two weeks' of Daniel 9 (both God's reply and Daniel's own meter). For '56' represents the pregancy of '14', which was in 'God's Womb' of Psalm 90:1-4.

See, it's not Bible codes, but the meter helps you grasp textual meaning of these otherwise-ambiguous or generic verses.

Intro to the 'recount history' requirement of Bible Hebrew Meter time poems, to see what Mary's saying 'beneath' the text; to see if it qualifies AS a Time poem as Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, and Daniel 9. Mary ties TO Daniel 9 by means of Chanukah. Proving that, will take the next six hours of videos, starting here. So here, the Book of Maccabees 1 occupies the first half of the video, and a testing intro to how Mary tracks it, occupies the video's last half.

If you downloaded the MagnificatDraft2.doc, download it again: for it has a new last page which shows the historical periods Mary references. Those periods will be covered in the next five hours' videos.

Doc now updated with keyword and OT multi-verse maps between Mary and Zecharias' soliloquies (he plays on what she says). Now has real history mapped. Use the new page 21 to follow the history, Mary's text references; to see her wry wordplay, as covered in the video.

This is the easiest Time Poem in the Bible, to understand. Once you see its pattern, it's far easier to see how Daniel and Paul, craft their meters. Especially, Paul.

The Magnificat meter periods will thus be covered in the next four hours' videos.

Also new: pages 11-12 show how her dateline meters (first 35 and 42) create a separate JURIDICAL timeline going back to David's Kingship at Hebron on the 1050th anniversary of Abraham's supermaturation: the juridical impetus for Temple and thus Chanukah. Thus Mary links His Birth to Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, Daniel 9. Now it's easy (for me, anyway) to understand WHY Paul linked Ephesians 1:3-14, to the Magnificat. As you know, I've had trouble believing he would do that.. until now.

Mary next accounts Time from Caesar crossing the Rubicon, forward to Millennium, with wry wordplay: intro to her use of Haggai 2:22. For easier viewing, download the newly-revised MagnificatMeterDraft2.doc; it now lists the historical references next to her meter numbers, and how Zecharias plays off Mary's meter. Synoptics series Episodes 12-21, will introduce her use of Haggai 2, in much more detail. (Haggai 2 tells us the Lord was to be born on what we now call, Chanukah. That's why Mary's Magnificat is a timeline of Chanukah.)

Correction re Mary's focus on Tiberius, in her syllable 150 = 13BC, before he even came to power. Due to Augustus' bouts of illness, Tiberius' co-regency periods were several; often unofficial, not merely from 12AD forward. In 13BC, he was consul (see https://books.google.com/books?id=XohfAAAAMAAJ&pg=PR42&q=&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false). Augustus kept preferring other successors to Tiberius; but the others, successively died. Meanwhile, Tiberius was asked to give up everything, including his wife -- Augustus had Tiberius divorce Vipsania and marry Augustus' daughter Julia -- to be 'eligible' for succession. So Mary wryly tags him with 'lifts the humiliated'. The year before she spoke, Tiberius was compelled to marry Julia: due to Augustus' prior favored folks, all dying. So Mary dates a current scandal, back to when he first became eligible as successor (i.e., due to consulship, when only age 29-30).

Agrippa died the same year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Vipsanius_Agrippa; but Cambridge says early the following year, https://books.google.com/books?id=JZLW4-wba7UC&pg=PA97&q=&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

So did Lepidus. Here's the Res Gestae: https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Augustus/Res_Gestae/2*.html

How ironic. In 13/12BC, Antipater, who in 5BC was disgraced, had been 'lifted' to be Herod's heir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipater_(son_of_Herod_the_Great)

How ironic. In same year, law passed forbidding lower soldiers to marry: https://www.jstor.org/stable/4135186

Another correction: Christ's Scheduled death is mapped in Luke 1:55's kathos elalEsen pros tous pateras. He would actually die earlier, ending at pros. I kept confusing the two distinctions in the video, sorry.

Mary's Magnificat Meter of Time has ACCOUNTING precedence in the OT, and her ending meter BALANCES to that precedence. If you've been watching my Psalm 90 videos, this will be familiar ground. If not, this will introduce you to the root concepts in Psalm 90's, Isaiah 53's, and Daniel 9's ACCOUNTING meter. For all of them, balance to a scheduled ENDING: the Millennium.

When Church was inserted by Christ in Matthew 16:18 in order to save Time from Ending, this Millennial Schedule was no longer a fixed future. The big question to believers from Christ's Birth onward, though, was based on an awareness that it COULD become fluid, if Israel in aggregate was not sufficiently positive to Messiah when He came. Hence Daniel 9:26c, is about the 2nd Temple going DOWN -- yet it is depicted as up and operating, in Daniel 9:27. So Mary ESTIMATES the effect if Israel rejects Christ, on the Schedule. Christ's scheduled lifetime of 40 years is based on Bible's numbers, you won't find it in the text. But you will find a garbled version of it, in Talmud's Sanhedrin 99 at http://www.rabbinictraditions.com , the best website for Talmud research.

Paul will update the Schedule given that Christ WAS rejected; the burning question to believers in Paul's day, was whether the OLD Schedule, would still play. Hence Paul's meter plots what-if-Rapture dates, to show historical events in the future, and how to view Time if the Rapture does not happen -- and Paul expected it wouldn't.

CORRECTION: at 14 minutes, I begin to explain Luke 1:55's extra syllables, mistakenly saying Christ was scheduled to die in His 40th year. No, it was His 41st year -- you enter year 2, on your 1st birthday. So notice how the Greek syllables take you to pateras: concept play on THE Father of fathers!

Now we're ready to see how Mary balances to Daniel 9's meter. Treble dual-entry accounting, here:

• balance to Abraham's 54 year credit,
• Land's 40-year shortage, the extra seven years owing on the 49 elapsed missed sabbatical years. Based on,precedence of 80 years for Joseph with a 33+7 back to back structure, then on David's 33+7.
• Finally,balance to First Temple Time Grants had it never been razed. All that, done via '56', the pregnant ending of Psalm 90:16-17. To which, Daniel balanced.

To which, Mary balances, including WHAT IF MY SON DOESN'T LIVE BUT 33 years? Awesome stuff. Your eyes will glaze over. Mine always do. But God is very punctiliar in His Time Grants.

Finishes demonstration of the two Trib sevens, how Mary ties to Daniel 9:19 and Daniel 9:5, and how Paul in Ephesians 1:4, ties to Mary. All of them play on the 56 which Moses established in Psalm 90:16-17, so that 56 becomes a metaphor of the 'end times', just as enshrined in the Mosaic Law of the Jubilee/Pentecost plus Trib-based-on-Passion/Passover-Week, aka 62nd week (490-56), pan-Bible.

John, in Revelation 1:1-3, builds on the 56 by using Daniel 9:11-12's pregnant 58-syllable pair -- signifying LATENESS, missing the HARVEST -- using '58' to build in Paul's 56, to create an 84 (Psalm 90:1-4), showing that he writes Rev in what THEY called '91', but we call 94 AD, when the Tribulation was originally scheduled to begin. Like Paul, John writes because the Tribulation did NOT begin, due to Church failure to mature. So Rev is about how the pre-Trib timeline is UNPREDICTABLE, just as Christ had said back in Acts 1, based on John 17. John's meter in Revelation will be covered in future videos, I'm not sure when.

There are three more Magnificat videos: 11s10 will cover how to test Hebrew or Greek for 'Time Poem' status; 11s11 will cover pronunciation, Atticisms, Hebraisms in the Magnificat; and 11s12 will be on Zecharias' meter, which deliberately plays off Mary's. Paul pulls his '91' from Zecharias' meter, what a shock.

For Hebrew/Greek Geeks, this video summarizes how you test a swatch of Bible text (here, the Magnificat) for Time Poem Characteristics. As you know if you've watched this series, I was skeptical that the Magnificat WAS a Time Poem. So here I go through some of the tests, and why Magnificat passes them.

Proof of the 35 and 42 passing ACCOUNT-BACK test, is extensive, and begins on page 10 of MagnificatMeterDraft2.doc (or pdf). Mary's Account-Back method is the most sophisticated of any Time Poem I've yet found. Awesome stuff.

I summarize these 30+ characteristics in a Word doc: BibleHebMeterCharacs.doc -- replace the 'doc' extension with 'htm' if you prefer a webpage format, or 'pdf', for pdf.

This video goes through only some of those traits.

Happily, God made Bible study self-auditing, so if you screw up in counting syllables or misinterpret a verse, something else in Bible will jump out and bite you. So it is here, with the characteristics. Episodes 11s11 will cover pronunciation and the NOT SO PURE character of 'koine' Greek; 11s12 will show the Luke 1 Zecharias text as being a PARTIAL Time poem playing on Mary's Magnificat, which Paul uses in Eph 1:3-14 to derive his four 'quarters' (91) meter. That will end, the Magnificat series.

Beginning at 40 mins of this video, you'll need to see my (very messy) notes on Daniel 11's timeline, which were made from my pastor's exegesis classes of Daniel 11. Scanned Notes are here: Dan11Map.pdf. To hear my pastor's exegesis of Daniel 9, you have to order the Daniel series. It's free, on mp3, order limit of 80 lessons a month: http://www.rbthieme.org.

Zecharias' meter in Luke 1 will be in 11s12 Magni 12 . But you can download it now, here: Zecharias.pdf. No English is provided, since you can follow along in translation.

This video was fun to make. I practice pronouncing the Magnificat in different ways, play with elision and cadence, then make comments on her Atticisms and Hebraisms. You want to hear the FLOW, so you can tell if you're reading it well. Even, with an American accent, lol. I have to practice more.

The essential difference: in OLDER language, you always have SHORT vowels. Dipthongs arose to create the sounds of what we call 'long' vowels. So 'ei' should be pronounced eh+ee, quickly; 'ai' would be ah+ee, spoken quickly. One syllable. Eventually I'll do another pronunciation video when I get the sounds right, using the foregoing 'short vowel' rule.

By contrast, there's a FAD by today's 'scholars' claiming modern Hebrew/Greek is nearly the same as 2000 years ago. Their argument has gone on forever, and it's political. The people who speak those languages natively, want to claim they speak as the ancients did. How false and childish.

So today, there's a weird argument that sloppy Greek inscriptions misspelled, tell you pronunciation. But they are not Bible inscriptions. So you can't gauge proper BIBLE pronunciation from some stupid cult follower in a cave, writing Dead Sea scrolls in lazy Greek, k? The Ebionites and similar Jewish cults of the 1st century BC-AD were weirdoes, so how competent were they? NOT.

Yet like insisting hillbilly English be treated as standard for Bible English, the fad now, is to use a 300-year span (up to 300AD!) of sloppy Greek writing, as justification for abandoning a 2000 year old standard of how EDUCATED Greek had been pronounced (ever since 500 BC, the rules were known and taught as part of 'rhetoric'). Get Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek by James Morwood, see the difference.

So no true scholar listened to the fad back when Bible scholarship was worthy, 50 years ago. But today, 'scholarship' caters to whoever-pays-the-most, and get-along-with-everyone. Scripture is thus maligned. What will God say to them, at the Judgment Seat of Christ?

For you'll miss the wordplay, soundplay and FLOW with modern Greek, since the latter ELIDES practically every other syllable. Use CLASSICAL Greek pronunciation, if you want to get closer to the original.

These things matter, when parsing text to test it for Bible Hebrew meter -- which yes, Virginia, really exists in Bible, and even the NT writers use its meter, with Greek words!

Zecharias' 42-42-91-42 metered speech, like Mary's, also draws from Hanna's prayer and the same OT verses Mary tagged in her speech. For extra measure, Zecharias pegs to her ending 217 meter, too. This video reviews that Greek, since you can grab any English translation and follow along. Last 30 minutes are pretty dramatic, I'm blown away.

See the Synoptics series for more info on Zecharias' speech.

Links to stuff shown in video:

• Zecharias.pdf for the doc shown in the video.
• MagnificatMeterDraft2.pdf, Mary's Meter structure. Pages 11ff cover the meter and how Zecharias plays off it. His meter is color coded like Mary's, in that doc's page 22.

It's syllable=year 260 AD. Everyone and his brother is a wannabe Caesar. So Paul characterizes the period as 'bring under one head' -- yeah, and the other heads get chopped off. A young man at this time has a dream of growing up to be that head; for a gypsy told him he would become that head, once he killed 'a boar' (Apher, later the father in law of Numerian). His name? Diocles, later known to history as Diocletian, from whom we get diocese. And when? In year 283, when he murders his rivals -- per his own dating of his own ascension, annotated by Paul as 'everything on earth'.

Lots of wannabe heads of an emergent church, too. Heads flying everywhere, writing against fellow Christians, making trouble in the Empire, flashing their piety around. History will never be the same.

You think God is trying to tell us something from Paul's writing, 200+ years prior?

This video is thus a shocking, panoramic introduction, updated for Mary's meter and the fact that the Jews in the Talmud, used almost the same metric values for their own estimations of Messiah's arrival, 220 years after Christ. (See Sanhedrin 97-99, but esp. 97 and 99.) So Paul simply uses meter to engage in a long RABBINICAL tradition of timing rules for Messiah's arrival -- updated now, due to Church's Arrival. Hence -- again in rhetorical tradition since Psalm 90, via meter -- Eph1:3-14, predicts Church history yearly as a recurring trend, in order to show the doctrinal theme of Ephesians: How Church Determines History.

And where in history? The Under-One-Head trend, Ephesians 1:10b, which was the dream of the two big counterfactions in Christendom, centered at Alexandria/Antioch and Rome; also, the big dream of one Diocles, who at this point is still a kid. Kids dream dreams that warring believers execute, since The Church Believer Determines History.

Turns out my pastor taught this very doctrine -- which he called 'invisible heroes' -- FROM Ephesians, for seven whopping years: his '1985 Ephesians' series. You can get it free on mp3 or DVD from http://www.rbthieme.org; about 2100 lessons of exegesis, taking you all over the Bible. Heavy stuff. HE DID NOT KNOW THE METER, so far as I can tell. In 40 years of study under him, I've never heard him talk about it. So this is a major reinforcement of his class content, which I did not expect.

So here, we first review Paul's keyword and meter technique from Eph 1:3 forward, updated to incorporate both Mary's meter value, and the Talmudic Sanhedrin 97-99 recognition of the timeline (though Talmud mentions only values, not the fact they are Bible meters).

This video then covers how Church was engaged in its own 'crisis of the 3rd century', believer against believer, everyone scrambling for religious suzerainty; how its scrapping leadership exercised very anti-Christ policies, mingled in politics and sought power from Caesar, rather than God -- just as Rev 17 predicted. Church Father 'Hall of Shame' links in Ephesians1REPARSED are shown, so you can read their own ugly words for yourself, Ephesians1REPARSED.doc (substitute 'htm' if you prefer htm, but the latter is not as well formatted).

Episode 11t3-4 will cover into what world, Diocletian grew up; how that world, shaped his personality and politics. His time is characterized by Ephesians 1:10, the warring Church factions trying to defeat each other in order to consolidate 'under one head' all religious power in heaven and earth; the secular Roman factions thus also trying to do the same. Period corresponds to 252-284 AD, culminating in Diocles' rise to power.

A great book on this guy is here: The Persecution of Diocletian: A Historical Essay. Last half of the video highlights his personality. Convert it to searchable? Read vid desc to 'Google Books' video here: http://vimeo.com/brainout/googlebooksocrconversion

Here's a book you can buy: Galerius and the Will of Diocletian (Roman Imperial Biographies) 1st Edition . Or, this one: Diocletian and the Roman Recovery (Roman Imperial Biographies) 1st Edition

Episode 11t5-6 will cover highlights of his rule, with a focus on policies and politics which fostered the rise of Constantine. It was under Constantine that the Roman Catholic Church actually formed. Constantine continued ALL the repressive policies of Diocletian, merely changing the name of the enemy to Christians, pagans and Jews who would not 'side' with the Christian power elites who curried Constantine's favor. That favor shifted back and forth between the Alexandria-Antioch and Roman axes, as will be shown in later videos.

Constantine was a jerk. To know why he was a jerk, you must first understand Diocles, his mentor. See also the ROME series from HBO, to get a better grasp of the Roman mindset, and why the Catholic Church ended up forming under Constantine, reflecting both that mindset and its stress on both gods (morphed into 'saints' in RCC) and power.

It's syllable=year 283 AD. An ambitious Diocles has found his opportunity to realize a gypsy prophecy given him, and by the end of the following year, will become the ruler of the Roman Empire. But he DATES his accession, not to that future point, but to December 283 -- which Paul obviously knew, by breaking his prophetic roster-of-Caesar syntax, here. Why? What makes Diocletian so important? For a long time, I didn't know. Ergo the gap in videos between 11r where we left off with Diocles, and here in 11t, where we've resumed.

Here we'll see why. Into what world -- plagued with politicizing Christians -- Diocletian grew up; how that world, shaped his personality and politics. His time is characterized by Ephesians 1:10, the warring Church factions trying to defeat each other in order to consolidate 'under one head' all religious power in heaven and earth; the secular Roman factions thus also trying to do the same. Period corresponds to 252-284 AD, aka 'the Crisis of the Third Century', culminating in Diocles' rise to power.

Eph 1:10-11, the idea being that As Goes Church, So Goes Human History.

Video focuses on Diocletian's policies, politics, economics and religion, which fostered the rise of Constantine. It was under Constantine that the Roman Catholic Church actually formed. It's important to see that fact. To the hoi polloi, RCC spins a huge lie about its origins as if noble, which is easily proven untrue. That of itself, tells you to avoid the RCC like a plague. But God DID USE the nascent RCC, and that too is important to see. God was preserving the FEW who wanted BIBLE, which is the theme Paul expounds. It is a continuing trend of history, even today, as Eph1:14, will stress.

Yes, the heroes were Catholic, as that was the only game in town, once Constantine took over. But they were NOT the leaders spinning the lie about a 'universal' beginning of 'apostolic succession'. Instead, they were quiet monks, handmaids and other lowlifes within monasteries, quietly copying and hearing, BIBLE. Many of these people eventually left to form their own groups, or became travellers quietly giving out the Bible information as they travelled. The reform movement against Catholicism always began WITH Catholics, and remained a force in history from 5th century onward. It's no mistake that so many of our extant manuscripts begin to be produced in large numbers, during this time.

For Constantine continued ALL repressive policies of Diocletian, merely changing the name of the enemy to Christians, pagans and Jews who did not 'side' with Christian elites currying Constantine's favor. That favor shifted back and forth between the Alexandria-Antioch-Carthage and Roman axes, as will be shown in later videos. We have extensive proof of this in the LAWS Constantine and his kids passed, viewable online at places like fourth-century.com and Fordham (Halsall's sites -- bear in mind, Fordham is Jesuit). RCC preserves all its stuff, warts and all -- which must be said, to its credit.

Golly, I wish Hollyweird would make a movie about Diocletian. Video briefly reviews Williams' wonderful book 'Diocletian and the Roman Recovery', link here at Google Books for preview: Diocletian and the Roman Recovery. Paul's coverage of the 'Crisis of the Third Century' is elucidated by Williams' Chapter One. I did a review of the book in Amazon, after buying it.

Below are more excerpts from the book, audio only, to avoid violating copyright: 11t8GGSAddP68-69Willliams.WMA and 11t8GGSAddP119-123Williams.WMA.

The other book mentioned in THIS video is also good, and is a free download. It focuses on Diocles' personality: The Persecution of Diocletian: A Historical Essay

You can find more links in the syllables = AD years, here: Ephesians1REPARSED.htm. The doc is better formatted, here: Ephesians1REPARSED.doc. PDF version: Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf.

My pastor taught the very doctrine Paul states here, but my pastor didn't know (or didn't tell us he knew) about the meter. You can get his lessons for free on DVD or mp3: 1985 Ephesians series (runs 7 years, 6 classes per week, so 6 hours per week), at http://www.rbthieme.org. You have to call in your order, and they do have distribution centers overseas in Germany, Phillipines, and Australia (and maybe England, Latin America, Canada, I forget). They never ask for money, and never sell your name, either. (In 40 years I've only heard from them three times, each time to announce a change in the recording media from reels to cassettes to mp3.)

CONVERGENCE is what Paul depicts in Ephesians 1:10. Yet I didn't know, until reading Stephen Williams' book 'Diocletian and the Roman Recovery' (Diocletian and the Roman Recovery (Roman Imperial Biographies) 1st Edition) , that there was also a convergence of the idea of 'God' into a ONENESS, going on in Roman society, during the 'Crisis of the Third Century'.

That's a major departure in Roman thinking, which heretofore had been stridently polytheistic.

So Paul's witty wording for that period in Ephesians 1:9-10, is even more pithy than I thought. My quick summary of the period is here, Ephesians1REPARSED.htm. Just keep reading down the page for a synopsis of the history and briefs on how Paul's wry satire, applies to the period. The links are syllables = AD years. It's uncanny, how Paul's meter ties to our AD measure. I still can't explain that. (Possibly the AUC system had three bogus years added which Paul deletes? For surely he's using the AUC in some form, as his is an Anno Domini accounting like Mary's was.)

Better format for Ephesians1REPARSED: Ephesians1REPARSED.doc. Then click on 'Chronology Chart' near page 1's bottom, and then select syllables = years 186 to 195, which is the start of the Severan period, and keep reading. Underlined text phrases are links to independent sites by scholars or then-contemporary writers, so you can read more about each emperor, period, action, etc.

So in this video I display and read page 155 of his book, which you can read on Amazon (link above). I really recommend you buy his book; the used copies are far cheaper than new, if money is a problem. It's not available on Kindle, drat.

Leadbetter's 'Galerius and the Will of Diocletian' (Galerius and the Will of Diocletian (Roman Imperial Biographies) 1st Edition ) purports to change traditional scholarship re nature, timeline, and conclusions about both Diocletian and Galerius. He thinks Stephen Williams' book is 'unsatisfactory'. I think his book is unsatisfactory, though I bought it (rental applied against purchase, hooray).

Try Rees' book instead: Diocletian and the Tetrarchy (Debates and Documents in Ancient History) 1st Edition . What's great about Rees, is that he provides EXTENSIVE source materials, not just notes. So you can read from many sources directly, at the back of his book. He concludes that everyone's just GUESSES Diocletian details, debating over SPECULATION -- and thinks that dangerous.

Leadbetter, by contrast, seeks to further Dr. Barnes' work. Yet Leadbetter's book is fraught with self-contradictions or flat assertions, viz., Diocletian didn't have an inheritance plan yet did, didn't create a Tetrarchy yet did; Constantinius and Galerius married the Augusti daughters 4 years EARLIER than regular scholarship claims; Galerius' daughter was by Diocletian's daughter, not by Galerius' first wife. So what, she was 4 years old when Maxentius married her, in 293? Oh: ancient writers' quad-sphere descriptions, should be ignored. Never mind, writers reference different subperiods, or one classifies an area via regional capitals. Yet Leadbetter buys into the harmony cult, and on p.50 versus its footnote 8, claims Nigrinianus is and is not the son of Magna Urbica and Carinus.

Leadbetter never reconciles the gaps created by his revisions.

So I still disagree with both him and TD Barnes on the date of Diocletian's death; they claim it was 313 AD or so. I contend pre-1930 mainstream Roman historian scholarship: 3 Dec 316 AD. Paul targets 316 for Diocletian's death just as he did the other two Caesars in his eudokian anaphora, via eta in thelEmatos: so Trajan's, Macrinus', then Diocletian's death. Treaty between Constantine and Licinius denoted new Caesar lineup in March 317. So clearly 316 matters. Constantine didn't war with Licinius until Oct 316, reaching Serdica by December. Depends on how you read Latin in Lactantius and Aurelius Victor. In Appendix II of my Ephesians1REPARSED doc ( htm: Ephesians1REPARSED.htm) , I cover it.

Another Pauline tie: Leadbetter's page 55, Mamertinus Panegyric Latini quote from 289 AD, all in heaven and on earth united under the father and son (representing Jove and Hercules). Yeah: that's what God had Paul say, Eph1:10b-11a. Understand: this was the CULT they promulgated, and Leadbetter stresses. Paul wrote syllables 283 (AD) - 301, 230 years prior.

Links to Mamertinus' quote in English (top para): In Praise of Later Roman Emperors: The Panegyrici Latini. Latin text: In Praise of Later Roman Emperors: The Panegyrici Latini

Again Paul apes Greek or Roman playwrights: play text is on topic A, but beneath it ran a contemporary political satire. You could get exile, if the satire was too pointed, Tullus Tullus Tullus. (Tertullus was Marcus Aurelius' wife's lover; Tullus was a character in a then-current play whose name was stammered three times to make a joke against Marcus' blindness to his wife's infidelity.)

You can find more independent scholarly links (including all of the above) in the syllables = AD years, here: Ephesians1REPARSED.htm. The doc is better formatted: Ephesians1REPARSED.doc. PDF version: Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf. They are frequently updated.

My pastor taught the very doctrine Paul states here -- 'as goes the believer, so goes human history' -- but my pastor didn't know (or didn't say he knew) Paul's meter. You can get my pastor's lessons free on DVD or mp3: 1985 Ephesians series (exegesis of Ephesians and related Bible runs 7 years, 6 classes per week), at http://www.rbthieme.org. You must call in your order; they have distribution centers overseas in Germany, Philippines, and Australia (maybe England, Latin America, Canada, I forget). They never ask for money or sell your name, either.

Shocking stuff. God had Paul anticipate, in Ephesians 1:10-11, the LANGUAGE of the Imperial cult of Diocletian (and hence Constantine), via the Arch of Galerius. Leadbetter covers the latter's meaning, in his book.

Bonus added confirming audio read from pages 68-69, 83-84 of Williams' book, to show the pagan cult so aptly satirized by Paul, and also how Diocletian would view Christianity as a political threat a la Mani: 1t18bGGSAddP68-69Williams.WMA and 11t8bGGSAddP83-84Williams.WMA.

Leadbetter's 'Galerius and the Will of Diocletian' (Galerius and the Will of Diocletian (Roman Imperial Biographies) 1st Edition ) purports to change traditional scholarship re nature, timeline, and conclusions about both Diocletian and Galerius.

Excerpted review. BOOK THEME: how to trace the development of 'apostolic succession' versus Bible and history, from Christ to Constantine. BOOK THESIS: the idea of apostolic succession grew from political needs, not Bible. Bible's doctrine on MISSIONS was essentially hijacked (by mistake or on purpose, who knows) to haphazardly craft the idea of apostolic succession, beginning in the 2nd century. Williams presents this thesis nicely, blaming no one.

This is the most exciting book I've bought in years; the ONLY one on Church History, which actually makes SENSE of that history. You wouldn't think so, from the title, Bishop Lists. Here's its link: Formation of Apostolic Succession of Bishops in Ecclesiastical Crises

My review in Amazon, here:

Videos excerpt and comment on the book, but I could only access up to page 86 or so in Google. I have express copyright permission from Gorgias Press, in exchange for the FIRST link above, to provide a pdf of pages 146-148, where Dr. Williams SHOWS the Bishop List of Eusebius in a better format than you can read IN Eusebius, here: WilliamsBishListsP146-148.pdf. I scanned it from my hardback.

These videos are in my PopeMyth (PopeM) playlist. So if you want to keep watching the book review, see the response videos, or go to that playlist.

Book is a revision of Dr. Williams' dissertation. It's a gripping read, not like your typical snoozy dissertation which after all, is supposed to prove you can properly do homework and synthesize. The book's salient feature, is its PROCESS of analysis, which can be extrapolated into any topic. So it's worth reading over and over.

I found this book by mistake, when vetting my own videos for 11t (and soon 11u) GGS, to see if I misrepresented anything, etc. Meanwhile, you can read it yourself, up to the limit allowed in Google. Then you too, will want to buy it.

It doesn't come in Kindle form. Yet.

Here's the link to my Church Father Hall of Shame section mentioned in the video. Its links are to the Church Father writings, usually at ccel.org (underlined words): Ephesians1REPARSED.htm#HallofShame. The original Word doc is better formatted, else the same, Ephesians1REPARSED.doc.

Sample shame, Hegesippus, which is not listed in Eph1REPARSED. Which is more shameful, the guy's own LYING about James and others -- Heggy clearly knew NOTHING about the Mosaic Law, for his story makes James into a LAWBREAKER -- or is our insipid praise of what he says, more shameful? You decide, here's the link: https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/hegesippus.html.

Excerpted Book Review, continues. This video reviews Greek terminology Williams uses to test whether God ordained apostolic succession; for He would use specific terminology well-known to people then, to communicate any such intent. Contrasted with, that to be an apostle, CHRIST HIMSELF post-mortem, had to appoint you IN PERSON, 1Cor15:1-10. Also Hebrews 9, idea of WRITTEN WILL = Our Bible. It has no clause stipulating, apostolic succession!

Also covered: Jewish Succession, as later in the book Williams will show Clement of Rome misunderstood OT Jewish law about priesthood succession.

BOOK THEME: development of 'apostolic succession' vs. Bible and history, from Christ to Constantine.

BOOK THESIS: the idea of apostolic succession grew from political needs, not Bible. Bible's doctrine on MISSIONS was hijacked (by mistake or on purpose) to haphazardly craft 'apostolic succession' in the 2nd century. Williams presents this thesis sympathetically, blaming no one. (I say 'hijacked', not him. It's obvious that hijacking was merely opportunistic.)

Videos excerpt and comment on what Williams says, but I could only discuss up to p.86 or so in Google. I now have express email permission from Gorgias Press LLC to scan from my hardback copy and upload the book's pages 146-148, which show Eusebius' list (recast in better form by Dr. Williams): WilliamsBishListsP146-148.pdf.

Excerpted Book Review, continues. This video focuses on how 2nd-century 'fathers' began to use an argument of continuity, to beat up other Christians. To do this, they twist the doctrine of MISSIONS in the Bible. Per Bible, the 'apostle' office was to SET UP churches, TEACH their new pastors the doctrines, and when those churches were established, the 'apostle' would move on; his authority, TERMINATES. It was never a permanent hierarchy over established churches. We begin to see Williams show all that, in this video.

Excerpted Book Review, continues. Bonus audio from book, linked below. Williams now connects the dots, to show that the Bible has no doctrine of succession, but instead a doctrine of MISSIONS. It is this doctrine that the 'fathers' will distort in order to defeat other Christians in a political grab for power; which Christ warned of, in Revelation 1-3, 17.

(See also Chapter 8 of 'Diocletian and the Roman Recovery' by Stephen Williams (unrelated to Robert) -- to realize that what became the RCC born under Constantine, adopted its own structure, ceremonials, colors, nomenclature -- from Diocletian, not Bible. So RCC was a POLITICAL institution, never Biblical. For Diocletian's 'diocese', see Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome, by Adkins and Adkins, pages 112 et seq.)

Gist: Long ago, a spiritual retard named Hegesippus CHOSE who was a good Christian teacher, up through Anicetus. NO ONE questionned his choices. Bingo! Apostolic succession, is born! Well, amended, due to politics.

1. Williams traces origin of 'apostolic succession'. Begins with LEGAL LANGUAGE evidence. What language would a Greek or Roman use?

2. Then checks Bible for that language, finds none. Reviews what's closest, Acts 20, Titus 1, and Luke. No apostolic succession; rather, MISSIONARY succession.

3. What about 'tradition'? None, first century. He reviews closest practices in Pauline, Jerusalem, Johanine churches.

4. 'Tradition' first arises in Ignatius, but no apostolic succession language; rather, obeying 'bishops'.

5. But 1 Clement argues JEWISH succession to rebelling Corinthians who fire their OWN bishops. Clement is big on Church REPLACING Israel. Ooops: Jewish Succession can't match criteria for Church (Jewish succession based on bloodline, was national). So Clement makes a POLITICAL ploy. Read him online (Chapter I.--The salutation. Praise of the Corinthians before the breaking forth of schism among them.) or read pdf of 'Clement of Rome' (ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus )

6. POLITICAL theme basis for alleged continuity of 'bishops'. Oh, but bishop lists don't conform!

7. First list, Hegesippus Memoirs (Chapter 5), 165+ AD. Only listed via Eusebius, Chapter XXII.--Hegesippus and the Events which he mentions.. Hegesippus chose who IN HIS OPINION, was faithful to Bible. His list is aped by Irenaeus and Epiphanius. No proof of succession, how decided, or if names were offices. List is also based on a garbled idea of Jewish priesthood, not NT. Or, on Greek 'schools' concepts, not NT. Worse, his list of 'schools', is inferred from (anti-semitic) Justin Marytr's 'Dialogue with Trypho', and Jewish Succession in 1 Clement. (Jesus in wrong tribe for priesthood, Heb 8:4. Ooops.)

8. Irenaeus' list, next apes Hegesippus, now 170's or so. (Chapter III.--A refutation of the heretics, from the fact that, in the various Churches, a perpetual succession of bishops was kept up.) . Same 1 Clement and Greek 'schools' arguments. Why? Oh, gnostic Valentinians' own list, goes back to apostles! Still, list is not of successor apostles, but teachers deemed loyal, per Irenaeus. (One heretic claims 'back to apostles' vs. another; but Hebrews 7:18 et seq. says OT priesthood is obsolete!)

9. Julius Africanus' list (Introductory Notice to Julius Africanus.). 217 AD. Peter-first-pope idea now invented to beat up Origen (now disgraced); dual list of bishops at Rome, Alexandria, oh! Roman 'church' is better, as suddenly Peter is first bishop in Rome, during CLAUDIUS! The very years Paul was supposed to BE in Rome (Rom 15)! Peter apostle to JEWS, never Gentiles, never in Rome per BIBLE. Mark listed as 1st bishop of Alexandria also during Claudius! How precocious. (Alexandria=Egypt. Where Bible never says either Peter or Mark, went.) Goal: make Origen submit to Roman church. Oh my.

10. Hippolytus' list, 230's AD (Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.). He 'updates' Africanus (borrows also from Irenaeus) to betray Origen, vanquish Callistus, appeal to Severans. So he's exiled and buddy Pantianus martyred, next (during 7-year warning in Paul's meter, Eph 1:9d); Alexander axed, too. (Hippy or Africanus can't count, eschew learning OT. Prefer to refute Greeks, The Refutation of All Heresies.. So never learn the '6000' any rabbi can explain. But lying against Bible a la 1 Clement is fun. Hippy spawns HIGH PRIEST SUPREMACY: https://www.bombaxo.com/hippolytus.html. By his own rule: Chapter VII.--The Personal History of Callistus (page btm). For he was anti-semitic, Expository Treatise Against the Jews..)

11. Eusebius' list is last, copies all prior. He constructs 'unbroken' timeline from Abraham forward, priests of Israel, Church post-Christ, a la CHURCH REPLACES ISRAEL 'doctrine' in 1 Clement. Not Bible. Eusebius' timeline designed to prove Church is old, not new. To silence pagan critics. Gorgias Press LLC granted me permission to scan this list (pp 146-148) to pdf: WilliamsBishListsP146-148.pdf.

Um.. Christ has all keys in Rev 1, talks directly to errant pastors of John's churches, who claim to be apostles but are not, who claim to be Jews but are not, who claim to be conquerors of the people (Nikw-laus), and soon are, Rev 17. HE, never eligible OT priest, Hebrews 7-10. Peter et al. were apostles to JEWS, Paul sent to Gentiles, to Rome, as last appointed apostle. Criterion? SEEING the RISEN CHRIST Who PERSONALLY APPOINTS, 1Cor15:1-10.

Ever wonder why John designates Roman Church as a 'mystery', in Rev 17? He gets it from Ephesians 1:9; Paul designates 'mystery' for Church; but simultaneously in his meter, he wryly tags the ROMAN Church also as 'hidden', born under the Severans. If you've seen my prior 11 GGS videos, you've seen how beneath the doctrinal words, Paul in Greek drama style satire, annually tracks the then-future history of Rome: for as goes Church, so goes History.

I was baffled by his linking the Roman 'fathers' and the Severan 'mothers' in Ephesians 1:9. My Ephesians1REPARSED.doc ( htm: Ephesians1REPARSED.htm) explained that connection in detail, going only by the 'fathers' writings. But I didn't know about the 'succession' of bishop lists, which occurs at precisely the time Paul forecasts for 215+, 'birthing' the idea of Peter as first and ONLY 'bishop' in ROME (Paul is expunged from the list). Peter in Rome during Claudius (AD 41-54)? Paul didn't convert until AD 44. Peter and Paul are talking in JERUSALEM, after that, see Acts 8-15. But never mind. Never mind, Bible records Peter in Samaria and then Jerusalem (ibid); then, Antioch and Babylon (Galatians, 1Cor, end 1 Peter). But not, Rome. For PAUL not Peter, was apostle to the GENTILES.

Never mind, too-young Mark was on a missionary journey with Paul and Barnabas! Never mind, Claudius had BANNED Jews and Christians from Rome!

Now, after reading Dr. Williams' book 'Bishop Lists', I better understand what Paul meant. So for the balance of this Episode 11t9, I tally the book to Paul's wording in Ephesians 1:9. It's awesome, how accurately his satire bites!

Dr. Williams traces five bishop lists in his book: Hegesippus', Irenaeus' (Against Heresies, Book III Chapter III), Julius Africanus (inferred from fragments), Hippolytus (anonymous Chronicle, source of Liber generationis I), and finally Eusebius (Chronicle and Eccles. History). This video goes through Hippolytus. I've got copyright permission to upload pages 146-148 of his book, which show the bishop list by Eusebius, here: WilliamsBishListsP146-148.pdf

See also my Holy Hegesippus videos Parts 1-4 (in PopeM playlist Episode 7), here: • 7a PopeM Fathers of Apostasy: Holy He... . Online link to his writings is in that video's description.

Last 11t9 GGS segment is 11t9i . After that, Episode 11u begins, with Constantine.

Continued from 11t9f, how in AD 215-231 Peter suddenly 'becomes' a listed 'bishop' in Rome during Claudius (when it was impossible for him to be there) -- and why Paul is kicked off the list, hahaha.

This video finishes summary of Hippolytus' list and 'birth' of Peter as first 'bishop' in Rome (lol during Claudius despite Bible saying he was elsewhere then), and ends with an introduction to Eusebius' list. Gorgias Press LLC gave me permission to scan and upload those pages (146-148), here: WilliamsBishListsP146-148.pdf

To save you time, I built the BIBLE-ONLY chronology from Adam, here: GeneYrs.xls. That worksheet doesn't show the verses or how you use ONLY BIBLE to get the chronology; instead, I show the verses here: brainoutFAQ.htm#6a. It's a slog to read, but you can vet everything yourself using ONLY Bible. Use solar years. Why scholars never use BIBLE ONLY, and never use solar years despite God's injunction that Israel operate ON only the solar year (Exodus 12, else she'll miss her PASSOVER BIRTHDAY each year) -- I'll never know.

So right there you know, the so-called 'fathers' NEVER READ BIBLE, because all their timelines are WRONG. Even though, they borrowed from Jewish Dispensationalism (which YES is Biblical, but the Jews garbled Psalm 90, reading it as seven Jubilees instead of five 70's). So the 'fathers' used the same 7,000 year history ASSumption as the Jews adopted after the 2nd Temple fell, and then garbled even that, further. Because, they did not consult BIBLE. Sheesh.

See my Psalm 90 Meter of Time playlist for proof on how Moses' meter works. Jews get the idea FROM that meter, and even today cite Psalm 90:4 as the source of the Millennium doctrine (which is true).

Continued from 11t9g, how Eusebius codifies the newly-invented (AD 215-231) 'bishop list', which for the first time, alleges the Jew Peter, was in Rome during Claudius -- who expelled all Jews from Rome?! -- so Eusebius, never did his Bible homework. So what 'succession' does Eusebius really represent?

Well, what does he inherit? Video goes through that:

1. Eusebius inherits a series of bishop lists erroneously based on JEWISH OT priesthood, mal-aligned to James, ignoring the fact that James is of the WRONG TRIBE even be a Jewish priest. Here's Eusebius' list, uploaded by permission from Gorgias Press LLC (pages 146-148): WilliamsBishListsP146-148.pdf. Get the whole book, here.

2. Eusebius inherits a ROME FIRST claim via the sudden ousting of Paul from Irenaeus' revision of Hegesippus' list, when Africanus newly puts Peter as 'first bishop' at Rome and Mark as 'first bishop' at Alexandria, plus -- due to the arguments between Hippolytus 1 and Callistus over a neologistic claim of 'catholic', for the latter's church.

3. Eusebius inherits from Hippolytus' list, a 'succession' of JEWISH HIGH PRIESTS leading to ROMAN BISHOPS, thus ignoring the son-of--Aaron rule for the former, and all other Christian 'bishops' for the latter. Cute.

Eusebius but thumps Bible, for he ignorantly adopts those three items for his own Chronicle and Eccles. History. Yikes.

Chaps 7 and 8 cover the convoluted history of Africanus and the possibly two, Hippolytuses. My Amazon review of his book, summarizes.

Church Father writings in pdf: Philip Schaff: German-American theologian and church historian. First 10 volumes 'anf' are Anti-Nicene Fathers (pre-Eusebius). That spans Clement, Justin Martyr, Ignatius, Hegesippus, Irenaeus, Africanus and Hippolytus. Hippolytus' writings aren't necessarily his. Two possible 'Hippolytus', so I can't give you his bishop list. Julius Africanus is in fragments, so his 'list' is largely 'reconstructed' by scholars like Dr. Williams (and over 20 others he mentions in his book).

For Nicene Fathers, see page middle: http://www.ccel.org/fathers.html. Eusebius is a Nicene 'father'. His Eccles. Hist.: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf201

So what 'succession' does Eusebius really represent? A succession of liars, from Clement forward.

1. Eusebius inherits a series of bishop lists erroneously based on JEWISH OT priesthood, mal-aligned to James, ignoring the fact that James is of the WRONG TRIBE to be a Jewish priest.
2. Eusebius inherits a ROME FIRST claim via the sudden ousting of Paul from Irenaeus' revision of Hegesippus' list, when Africanus newly puts Peter as 'first bishop' at Rome and Mark as 'first bishop' at Alexandria, plus -- due to the arguments between Hippolytus 1 and Callistus -- a claim of 'catholic' for Roman church.

Eusebius obviously knows no Bible, for he adopts those three items for his own Chronicle and Eccles. History. Yikes.

Now that we've seen how Romanism got 'impregnated' aka 'hidden' to win over the Severans, and how Diocletian's rule provides the copybook for Romanism's formation: we're ready to see its birth, under Constantine.

For to understand Constantine and Romanism, we had to spend lots of time on Diocletian, who was the true predecessor for both.

PDF version (only web links work in pdf) is Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf. These three documents were slightly revised with new links.

Technical video on Trinity anaphora. Paul so focuses on the apostasy due to Constantine, that he not only maps the years, but creates THREE SETS of trebled anaphorae, to all converge on the Constantinian period. I guess it has something to do with the fact that 490 years after Antiochus IV Epiphanes, is initial Nicaea, as well as the razing of Byzantium (which Paul parallels to the razing of Jerusalem, in meter)? Adjust for number of months and difference in calendars, so 166+324=490.

Analogy to desecration history repeating itself? Mary based her meter on Chanukah, and again Paul apes her.

He apes her clever hubbing of meter in her dateline to a whole slew of dates going all the way back to David at Hebron yet forward to Millennium, see MagnificatMeterDraft2.doc (or 'pdf', for the pdf copy) pages 11-20, for the CHARTS of the many number convergences she used. The Mary Magnificat playlist takes you through her meter in detail: • b-out Mary's Magnificat Meter of Time

Paul's use of the same hubbing technique, is far more complex. Until I saw the Mary Meter, I couldn't understand why Paul was doing this. Both he and Mary START TIME OVER with Messiah's birth, their own version of Anno Domini; oddly, it is close to our modern AD accounting, which implies the Roman AUC system is overvalued by three years. But I'm still checking into that.

(They would have mapped their own A.D. to the Roman AUC; but there were three different AUC styles operative, in Mary's day. Varro's, which later became the 'official' system, was criticised as inflated by three years. Augustan Romans, debated its accuracy. Augustus finally accepted it; under Claudius, it became law. Paul seems to use the AUC version 'corrected' to subtract those three years, resulting in an eerily similar tally to what we use.)

Took me months to analyze, and I'm still not done. But the idea has to be introduced now, so that when you see the actual history of Constantine in the straightforward meter, you'll know a deeper set of PARALLEL TIME RELATIONSHIPS is depicted via the connected anaphorae. The full story is in Appendix I, of the JUST UPDATED Ephesians1REPARSED.htm#anaphoraMatesHistory. It's 150 pages long in Word, so it may take awhile to load online.

Doc is maybe easier to read, Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf.

This video but highlights the anaphora locations and time parallels, so you can get a quick overview of their relationships and nature. The above links provide detailed analysis, including all the relevant history. It's a slog, I'm sorry; Paul's anaphora parallel metering math, is awesome. Took me 37 pages to plot it out, and I'm still not done with all its structures. Christendom has NO IDEA this style exists in Bible.

Be sure you know God wants YOU to spend time on it, before you start. I had to spend time on it, but that doesn't mean you should. My videos are my own due-diligence; I don't feel I have the right to keep this provable Bible information private, or to sell it. So I have no idea who else should watch the videos. Point is merely to make the material available, and God will decide who gets it.

So now we enter the background and development of, Constantine's time, here ending at Carnuntum, 308. There will be eight more videos on it, after this one. Hope you had time to examine the anaphorae in Episode 11u1b GGS.

For to understand Constantine and Romanism, we had to spend lots of time on Diocletian, who was the true predecessor for both.

PDF version (only web links work in pdf) is Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf. These three documents were slightly revised with new links, in June. I will revise them again in July, to add in more material from more Constantine books newly purchased. If you see errors, let me know!

Continued from 11u2 GGS, post-Carnuntum and rise of Constantine's power. How he hypocritically plays the same in hoc signo game as a sign from APOLLO in AD 310, so you know the 312 gambit was a lie. So you learn a lot about Constantine's character, thereby.

Which lie, Lactantius tells and Eusebius doesn't refute; so both are spiritual retards, not to be trusted. Eusebiue lies about Constatine too, as you can read in his own words.

So here, we see how Paul shows all this games-playing.. in advance. In meter, coyly 308-320, according to his good pleasure, end of the eudokian anaphora. Yeah: WHOSE pleasure? Supposed to be, God's. But man, including the bilious 'church fathers', don't care for God's Pleasure -- but rather, their own. So, Revelation plays on Ephesians, to craft its own structure; which you'd know, if you knew the meter.

So we go through that meter, here. Extensive review is in the document itself. Online copy of it is Ephesians1REPARSED.htm, so you can read the htm as you watch the video. Or, use the doc (better formatting), Ephesians1REPARSED.doc. The pdf shows the Greek without you needing to download the fonts, here: Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf. Let me know if you have problems with the links.

Also, sidetrip on why we know Diocletian died in 316 and not earlier. TD Barnes and some scholars following his conclusions, allege that Diocletian died earlier, 313 or 311 or thereabouts. But the facts we have disagree with that, as do the contemporary writers. beginning about 23:30 in this video, I deal with that. The topic is covered in Appendix II of Ephesians1REPARSED, with links.

ERRATA: I misspoke re Constantia as Constantine's daughter; she is his sister. That error is corrected in later videos.

Now we get into Constantine taking over in AD 312+, and how God will craft an escape window for Christians who are positive to learning Bible -- away from the fractious Romanizers who waste Constantine's time with their inept and arrogant 'councils', in order to bludgeon each other. Divide and conquer, that's how Constantine came to power. So everyone's doing his own will and pleasure; meanwhile, God uses the fighting to open up a way of escape, since God foreknows how those 'councils' will result in Rev 17 tyranny.

RCC formed as a RESULT of Constantine, not before. If you've heard my RCC series in the PopeMyth playlist, this will be familiar ground, and now you'll see how God had Paul predict it all; why Revelation 17 is really an elaboration, on what God had Paul write. Amazing stuff.

The pattern of satire began with Ephesians 1:3, using past known history; by the time Paul has finished Ephesians 1:4, he's been dealing with history reasonably predictable, including all the what-if Rapture dates, so the readers of these verses at the time, well understood what his satire would mean. The rest of Ephesians 'hubs' around those verses, just as in Euripides play Ion -- on which Paul's letter is based -- hubs around the beginning events. For that play was about the founding of the Greek sea peoples, from Ion (=venom=semen, spawn of Apollo as a snake and light giver). To show, God's superior Begetting. Once you read the play, Paul's wry satire becomes even more clear. For the letter is structured in the same order, as the play: you grab on the altar like Creusa, barren, bitter, fighting, unknowing; then deus ex machina (Rapture), God comes mid-air to save you and explain Himself. Apres ca, le deluge: flood of the Tribulation, a multiplying. Heh.

How God uses Paul's wry wordplay to target and deride Church under Constantine, who God also derides via wordplay in the text. Ouch: God will match syllable for syllable, Constantine's life and that of his heirs; in biting sarcasm, just as Daniel used in his metering of Israel's kings, in Daniel 9:6-14.

More detail on the debate over the date of Diocletian's death, is still relevant to the chronology, and is covered here.

Link to the video's ending website re laws showing how evil Constantine's rule became: https://www.fourthcentury.com/imperial-laws-chart/. Look at the bottom of that webpage, pick your period. The laws are excerpts, but you can find the same laws in many places; ironically, in Fordham U. Witness the slow creep of religious tyranny easily as bad as Diocletian's and far broader in scope and time, yourself. The laws are in chrono order. More links are provided in the Ephesians1REPARSED.doc's ChronoChart section above, where relevant.

We should stop praising the 'Church Fathers' and instead make a determined effort NOT to emulate their extremely evil apostasy. But we won't. Tradition and 'old' matters more than God and His Word. So this sordid history will repeat itself in cycles, just as Paul sarcastically depicts, every 490 years. 'Our' 490 ends in 2130 AD (see 'Pass the Salt' videos). The prior 490 was the Reformation, which was indeed evil, itself. Each 490 is preceded by a 120-year warning period, just like the Flood; and its own last 120 years acts as a kind of flood, getting rid of the negative folks, be they Christian or not. We are in that last 120 years, now. So you know what to expect. And we will learn nothing, as usual, from it. Ergo many will war and die, never the wiser for it.

Companion video to this one is coincidentally (?) 19 Synoptic, posted the day after this one. This cycling is referenced by Mary's meter in her Magnificat, so I had to introduce that Luke 1 passage by showing the timeline from Adam. You might want to see that video, or my Episode 10 Yapping Most High playlist, to get your feet wet on the concepts of how God Orchestrates Time. Links to those videos and others documenting (in part) the applicable Bible text, are in pages 4-5 of the Ephesian1REPARSED links above.

Still on How God uses Paul's wry wordplay to target and deride Church under Constantine, who God also derides via wordplay in the text -- with ties to Daniel 11 you can notice, if you know both that chapter, and Constantine's history. We go past year 313 up through 324, with some retrospective. At about 24 minutes, I recover the anaphora, following up on 11u1b's introduction.

The Pauline anaphora usage -- with its eventual stress on Constantine -- continues. Thus we see the satire and doctrine about the time, provided by means of these anaphora 'nesting' themselves as bookends, to trace out cause and effect. Which cause and effect, culminates during Constantine; with Church going into the toilet, as a result.

Thus we see the bad report card, on him and the Rev-17 Church structure he spawned. John gets that chapter from Paul, in this Constantine section. Revelation is an elaboration on Eph 1:3-14, as hopefully you've begun to see. So now we can better understand, Revelation.

My pastor's site: http://www.rbthieme.org. Get his 1985 Ephesians series. He exegetes every verse, and takes you all over the Bible, to do it. That series is seven years long, 7x per week, 1 hour per class. So the Ephesians 4 section begins some 400+ classes later, in the series.

Pauline anaphora math focusing on Constantine gets really heavy now, will shock you. Context begins way back in 94AD, for the same apostatizing trend back then, culminates in the apostasy of a Roman Church united with Constantine's state. Video thus retraces that prior path. Appendix I of the Ephesians1REPARSED.doc (link below) provides full details, with real history you can really test with the sarcasm God gave Paul, to write.

Thus we see the satire and doctrine about the time, provided by means of these anaphora 'nesting' themselves as bookends, to trace out cause and effect. Which cause and effect, culminates during Constantine; with Church going into the toilet, as a result.

Pauline anaphora math continues with the Severans, so you can see the then-future, historical parallels God has Paul draw, in about 120-year increments (four generations, get it) -- to focus on the Church-father apostasy that institutionally flowers, under Constantine. Biting wit!

Now we're in the final phase of the Pauline anaphora math on Constantine, 320-334 (syllables=AD). Note how God has Paul draw the successive nadir of Church via its catholicising under Constantine, in anaphora spaced at 120-year increments (four generations, get it) -- to stress Church-father apostasy that institutionally flowers, under Constantine. Biting wit!

My pastor's site: http://www.rbthieme.org. Get his 1985 Ephesians series. He exegetes every verse, and takes you all over the Bible, to do it. That series is seven years long, 7x per week, 1 hour per class. He didn't know this meter (no one does), but the doctrines IN the meter, he taught for over 50 years. So I have to conclude that one reason I learned the Pauline meter by mistake (yeah right) at Christmas 2010, was to illustrate yet one more way you can vet what he taught? You be the judge. My own life is completely changed by this information. Good thing it's so boring, on the surface. :)

This video follows GGS10e9d9, and makes Corrections to the ending 69 Time Track 2-3 values (Daniel 9:18), which should end 277BC and then v.19's 230 BC, specifically. If you notice, there's a math error in Time Track 2-3, where only 62 is subtracted, instead of 69.

So the benchmarks in Daniel end at the 1st Syrian and the 1st Illyrian War, both pivotal in history to the rise of the Seleucid and Rome's power in the Middle East, respectively. Israel's history wouldn't have transpired as it did.. including the arrival of Messiah and Rome being suzerain -- had these two events not occurred. The link to that timeline and the events' import used in the video, is here: http://www.historyofwar.org/periodframe.html. It's also in the ChronoChart section of the Daniel piece for verse 9:18, listed below.

That correction matters, as it ties more to what Mary does when she piggybacks on Daniel. In the Mary videos, I'd said she debits 73 years to match Daniel's, but the difference is only 66 years from his end point. That she deliberately matches his end points is visible from her own metering, as shown in the video (page 11 of the MagnificatMeterDraft2R.pdf

Overall, the 'Revisit' is done to show we can tell what DANIEL was thinking when he spoke, for he's talking out loud in meter, and later writes it down. Any exegete will tell you the goal for Scriptural exegesis "is to apprehend the exact thought of the writer." In Daniel 9, we can do this, because his prayer is metered.

The meter is vital to the interpretation of Daniel, for since childhood he obviously was trained in it (you can't just talk in meter, it must be a habit you learn to do), and without the meter you can't tell he's COUNTING YEARS and keying what he says to the YEARS of the 'kings' he recounts.

THE ORIGIN OF THE 62 WEEKS is in Daniel's prayer: so God is REPLYING to Daniel using the same number. You can't see that unless you know the meter, as shown here. And it means: YEARS ISRAEL WAS UNFAITHFUL. Paul will use that same meter, signifying Church infidelity, in Eph 1:3-14!

The video is fast, sorry; it focuses on how Daniel uses the 49 and 42 bookends, with some added material I didn't cover before. This GGS10e9d6 covers more about the third legal clause (verses 9:15-19).

The content of Daniel's meter has been out four years now; I can't make new videos acquainting people with its beginning. So you'll have to read the document for yourself, to follow along well in this video. If you find your eyes glazing over, just shut the video off. The two main channels are https://vimeo.com/channels/paulmeterg... and https://vimeo.com/channels/dan9meter (latter has the same videos as the former, plus some related Psalm 90 vids). The Genesis 1 meter, starts here: https://vimeo.com/channels/genesisexe... The differential of Noah's 308 is covered here: https://vimeo.com/channels/noahicfloo... . You could just download the pdf in that channel's first video and see how the 308 works, yourself, FloodChronoREVISED.pdf. The Mary Magnificat videos are here: https://vimeo.com/channels/magnificat...

This video follows GGS10e9d10, Summarizes Import, replies to frankforum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=82#p512. So if you watch only one of the Daniel Revisited videos, watch THIS one. It proves the origin of God's Reply, since the NUMBERS in Daniel's METER are the same as the numbered TEXT in God's Reply of Dan9:24-27.

Everyone in theology has to go back to square one, now. Seriously. See for yourself. All you gotta do, is count syllables in the BIBLE text. Many mainstream ideas are proven right, many proven wrong, whether in Christendom or Judaism.

Which proves fairly conclusively that God REPLIES to Daniel's meter, in Daniel 9:24-27. Very different origin for the numbers, which all theologies have completely missed for 2000 years!

GGS10e9d10 made Corrections to the 69 Time Track 2-3 values (Daniel 9:18), to end @277BC and v.19's 230 BC. Math error in Time Track 2-3 (only 62 is subtracted).

So the corrected benchmarks end at the 1st Syrian and 1st Illyrian War, both pivotal to the rise of Seleucid and Rome's power in the Middle East. Israel's history wouldn't have transpired as it did.. including the arrival of Messiah and Rome being suzerain -- had these two events not occurred. Link to that timeline and events' import, is here: http://www.historyofwar.org/periodframe.html. It's also in the ChronoChart section of the Daniel piece for verse 9:18, listed below.

That correction ties more to Mary's piggyback on Daniel. In the Mary videos, I'd said she debits 73 years to match Daniel's, but the difference is only 66. That she deliberately matches his end points is visible from her own meters, as shown in page 11 of the MagnificatMeterDraft2R.pdf.

Overall, the 'Revisit' is done to show we can tell what DANIEL meant. Goal for Scriptural exegesis "is to apprehend the exact thought of the writer." In Dan9 we can do this, because his prayer is metered.

The meter is vital to the interpretation of Daniel, for since childhood he obviously was trained in it (you can't just talk in meter, it must be a habit you learn to do), and without the meter you can't tell he's COUNTING YEARS and keying what he says to the YEARS of the 'kings' he recounts.

The origin of God's REPLY to Daniel, is now patent. The 62 weeks, for example, means YEARS ISRAEL WAS UNFAITHFUL, which God reimburses. Paul will use that same meter, signifying Church infidelity, in Eph 1:3-14!

So God uses Daniel's 49 and 42 bookends, the 69, and all of that, is based on Daniel using Isaiah 53, who originated the numbers in the first place. So that's why Daniel prays as he does and God answers as He does. Really clear interpretation, once you see the meter. For Isaiah's meter in detail, watch here: https://vimeo.com/channels/isaiah53/7...

The two main Daniel meter channels are https://vimeo.com/channels/paulmeterg... and https://vimeo.com/channels/dan9meter (latter has the same videos as the former, plus some related Psalm 90 vids). The Genesis 1 meter, starts here: https://vimeo.com/channels/genesisexe... The differential of Noah's 308 is covered here: https://vimeo.com/channels/noahicfloo... . You could just download the pdf in that channel's first video and see how the 308 works, yourself, FloodChronoREVISED.pdf. The Mary Magnificat videos are here: https://vimeo.com/channels/magnificat...

Mary's Magnificat Meter reconciles between the Abrahamic and Davidic deadlines for her newly-announced Son's birth, from the first Chanukah; for she just then knew He'd be born on the 160th anniversary of that first Chanukah. Channel showing the videos on this: GGS11s Magnificat Meter of Time . Doc used in video (latest version): MagnificatMeterDraft2R.pdf (or MagnificatMeterDraft2R.doc (now lost).

Turns out that all other NT Bible dateline meter formulas key off her reconciliation. Luke in particular, pads her text with a preface 'k'eipen Miryam' to reconcile between the shoulda-been-born Year 4106 From Adam's Fall to the then-known 4103 FAF, which Mary's tallying. But long prior, starting with Galatians, Paul had been doing the same thing, as you can now see in the paulmeter channel ( Pauline Dateline Meters ).

That flummoxed me, so here I go back to Mary's Magnificat to show the proof of Magnificat setting that accounting precedence. For it matters to know WHY all the NT books find some way to date their books based on the Lord's woulda-been or real age. Especially, since to this day 'scholars' debate when He was born, as if that information wasn't baldly disclosed in Scripture. Which as you'll see from the text interacting with the meter (or from the text alone, if you actually READ it carefully) -- as you'll see, Bible does baldly and repeatedly state WHEN He was born. For, all Bible dates from Genesis to Rev hub around His Birth and Death, as Messiah is the key to history.

To show that, Mary keys off Daniel, starting 73 years after Daniel's timeline ended at 238 BC (rise of the feet of clay and iron, Rome), so 238+73 later = end 165 BC = start 164 BC = 1st Chanukah. Christ is actually born 160th year after that, shoulda-been born 164th year after that relative to Abraham (Luke's padding, left numbers on screen). So then 40 years of life leaves 56/7 years to Mill (57 really, since He's to die at beginning of year at Passover, on either schedule). So Mary was reconciling equidistantly, the payback on Abraham's 54 year credit at the end, like this: 40 when His Life was scheduled to end +16 +40 remaining coundown to Mill.

If you look at all the other NT dateline meters (except Matthew, who dates his book from Malachi), they all follow her same accounting formulas, back-and-forth. Shocking. This also shows the INTENT of the meter, so again you can tell the meter counts are the result of the writers deliberately padding their text to GET TO those meters. So again you can be very assured that God preserved His Word. Pity the stupid 'quelle' people, the horrible KJVO people, the dumb Mormons and Muslims and atheists who all claim that Bible is corrupted or that we don't have the original text. We do. Provably. Better still, we now have a better tool to sort among the variants, to correct the UBS text, at least for these dateline meters. Most of all, this accounting in Magnificat, shows the origin of all those dateline meter formulas. And perhaps most interesting, is the proof that what you should value about MARY, is her knowledge of doctrine, not the cheap trashy pandered claim by the lying Catholics, about her staying a virgin (a lie invented originally to 'compete' with pagan Roman Vestal Virgins; not at all Scriptural, as she would have SINNED not to have children with her husband). Oh well.

To show how Mary picks up where Daniel left off, so you can see the precedent for her reconciliation. I've covered this before, but here the reconciliation is clearer. Thus when the entire NT's dateline meters measure from hers, you can see why.

Websites used in the video, to show importance of 238 BC:

Floralia (which was first instituted in the same year, maybe unrelated but doubtless reason for the year to be memorable as well): penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/calendar/floralia.html

UNRV: unrv.com/provinces/province-chronology.php

Turns out UNRV does have a chronology from 284-238, here: unrv.com/empire/roman-timeline-3rd-century.php.

Navies of Rome book: books.google.com/books?id=ccHyOlPK4pIC&pg=PA83&lpg=PA83&f=false

The Daniel chrono chart (below) has another link to that time which is more meaty.

284 BC, the earlier point in Daniel's Track 2 chronology, was a different kind of turning point, a settling with the Gauls: books.google.com/books?id=aEfvR1Qcd0gC&pg=PA349&f=false

You can find the same material elsewhere, but that link is a handy summary.

Here's another handy summary about how 284 BC was a turning point which you can download for free, see the middle left column on the page: books.google.com/books?id=mW8NAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127&f=false

They often use Polybius' Histories, here free download in both Greek and English, link being the page which talks about the 284 turning point, books.google.com/books?id=ujMjAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA16#v=twopage&q&f=false

No offense, but the dingdongs who claim a late date for Daniel, really have no clue about anything. For it's impossible for anyone to know the CURRENT EFFECT of history, on the future. So this is clearly Divine Prophecy in METER, for crying out loud. No human is this smart.

Docs used in video:

Mary's Magnificat (latest version): MagnificatMeterDraft2R.pdf Daniel: DAN9V4-19HebOnePagerPARSED.pdf

You really need to read both, and spend a lot of time vetting, as the proof is extensive and complex. Will take months to vet, sorry. The Daniel piece's 'Footnote E' goes through the verses on the kings Daniel covers per syllable=year, recounting them in light of the Kings and Chronicles verses covering them, intertwining those references as he talks. No wonder God had him rule Babylon. Mary KNEW that too, and she's emulating Daniel's prayer style when she talks. No wonder God had her be the mother, as it would be necessary for Christ to be thoroughly versed in Scripture from birth. As you proof both docs, you'll be amazed at both believers' command of Scripture. For which they are both, underpraised. THIS is what is supposed to happen to the believer, total integrated fluency in KNOWING BIBLE.

BTW, you can substitute 'pdf' for 'doc' ('RTF' for Daniel) to instead download the Word doc originals.

This is perhaps a temporary video subseries, revisiting my assumptions about what seems to be the pan-NT foundation for NT Meter: based on, the Magnificat.

That's a shocking idea to me, at least, because I don't expect what she said to be so determinative of meter patterns in the NT. 'Maybe because I'm female and don't want females to get such credit? My prejudice? Well, any prejudice masks facts, so I revisit the notion here. Don't know if I will contradict any other video I've done, am revisiting it de novo.

Her meter is based on years from Abraham's maturation; that was a standard mechanic in the OT, used by Moses in Genesis 1; so you could argue she's not doing anything new, but rather following his standard; still, this is the earliest instance we have, of Greek words applied with Bible Hebrew meter. So it may prove determinative. How, I don't know. Yet.

I did the vid back in March, but am uploading it now. Again, it's tentative and I might end up taking it down, later. There will be more of these ggs11s17 vids to post, if the ideas seem to have validity. So as always with anything I post, BE SKEPTICAL. Thank you!

Continuing this perhaps-temporary video subseries, revisiting my assumptions about the pan-NT foundation for NT Meter: based on, the Magnificat. Here, about how to measure the time based on her same FY accounting for Abraham's Time Credit.
