Just after Vespasian took the purple in December 69, Hebrews was written. That's a likely date for when Timothy was released from jail (in honor of the Saturnalia=Chanukah), given the policy of Emperors to pardon past political imprisonments of unpopular Emperors (here, that would be Nero). Either Mark and Luke were released prior, or just prior, or at the same time and Timothy was released just as the Book was completed. In any event, we can prove from the meter WHEN it was written. So this is a spinoff channel from RFG, to isolate the videos solely on the Book of Hebrews.
In the Year of the Four Emperors (which is yet another channel, lol), because Paul was executed, a slew of new Bible books came out to explain why and what would come next: 1 & 2 Peter, Jude, Mark's Gospel and then Book of Hebrews. Since there is so much needless debate about when these books were written, and since so much Bible misunderstanding results from not knowing when, it's important to document the proof of the WHEN. So this channel isolates the Book of Hebrews' dateline meter proof from the other books, but you kinda have to see them all together, to see how that proof really IS, proof.
Sorry this is so complicated. The channels containing videos on the other books which came out in the same Year of the Emperors are:
Peter, summer and fall AD 68: Peter Meters Time to Paul's Eph 1:3-14
Jude, just after Peter, maybe near end of 68: Jude's Meter
Mark, Passover AD 69: Mark's Gospel Proves Q Scholars Wrong
RFG channel (which includes the Peter and Jude videos): Royal Family of God
Year of the Four Emperors' related isagogics: Year of the Four Emperors
Stong implication, then, that either Mark or Luke wrote the Book of Hebrews. Maybe they did it jointly. Style similarities can be contended, especially with the wry sarcasm, but I can't yet prove whether either of them had written it, and of course the topic has been debated for centuries.
Long before we invented 'Anno Domini', Bible used it. This series examines NT Anno Domini Dateline Meter formulas, and how they are all precedented on the OT dating system from both Adam's Fall (not initial creation) and, as a countdown TO a planned Millennial start of 4200 after Adam's Fall. See Preface for orientation, brainout.net/LukeDatelineMeters.htm#Preface .
This rather dramatic video continues the survey with Hebrews, which builds its outline around the Gospel of Mark, thus proving more than ever that Mark's the THIRD Gospel, not Quelle or first. Dramatic, because it almost SCREAMS of Luke and Mark's authorship post Paul's death.
The Royal Family of God channel has those videos. But here, Hebrews also shows how all the NT dateline meters, have the following in common:
* The Lord's Age is stated BLUNTLY, or as a formula based on His originally planned Death or Birth pre- or post-David. Often, the meters will interrelate all these dates: three death dates and two birthdates, so to track and reconcile them. Bible's Anno Domini reconciliation with OT, its BC/AD converter, is the ORIGINAL planned Birthdate of 4106. Due to delay in David's crowning -- he was crowned on time, 1050 years after Abraham supermatured at age 100, not over ALL Israel until 7 years later -- Christ had to be born a net 3.5 years earlier (reflecting Temple's late start as well). So He dies in 4136, not 4143 (the Davidic deadline) or 4146 (the original 2100+2046 deadline from Abe's supermaturation). That TIMELINE SHIFT is not known in Christendom, but is tracked in Bible, as you'll see here.
* The ADAMIC YEAR of writing is somewhere stated as two ending numbers, much as we use '15' to mean '2015'.
* At least one of the meters 'tags' a past event in secular history, to parallel current time to the 'story' of that past event.
* At least one of the meters is dated in terms of years-to the Trib, Millennium, or a closely-related, forward countdown tracked since the OT.
In short, the meter formulas are predictable. So they are testable. Since often a chapter will have its own dateline meter (esp. in a serial book, like Acts, Isaiah and Daniel), then you can more quickly figure out what formula to 'test'. The dateline meter will often finish within the first 1-3 verses of a chapter. If the last sevening is later, it's not merely a dateline, but a plan-of-time passage (i.e., Ps90, Dan9, Eph 1:3-14, 1Pet1:1-12, etc).
Video's Doc used (first two pages): brainout.net/LukeDatelineMeters.pdf or doc or htm. The columns in the htm won't align, so the numbers for the meters look 'wavy'. I'll fix that in the future. The smaller the font size used in your browser, the more the numbers 'straighten'.
It will also be helpful to download the worksheet which plots all the numbers, so when you see me refer to Adamic years, you can tell that the BIBLE's use of those specific years, are actually from BIBLE's own dates; for the worksheet was created solely from, the Bible's dates: brainout.net/GeneYrs.xls .
Verses used to create that worksheet are in brainout.net/brainoutFAQ.htm#6a .
It's a lot of material, but given the import of the accounting, it should be worth anyone's time to actually vet the material. Whether God wants you to do that, is a matter between you and Him. For once you see how bald these meters are, you know several important things:
1. YES we really do have the inerrant and infallible Word of God, because clearly these meters are deliberate so we know we have the real Words God Preserved (take THAT, you scurrilous KJVO people),
2. YES we can know EXACTLY when Bible books were written (take THAT, you scurrilious Bible debunkers),
3. YES we know EXACTLY WHAT BOOKS ARE SCRIPTURE (take THAT, you who claim we needed some dippy Council of Nicaea or other popish nonsense),
4. YES we know EXACTLY how long it was since Adam FELL, and YES the Bible does NOT say how old the earth is, as the issue isn't even relevant (take THAT, you young earthers and others who would divert the topic of Bible study to banalities),
5. YES we know BETTER how to actually INTERPRET the Bible books, since the DATE OF WRITING is turned into a complex relation-back and relation-forward CONCORDANCE with history and other Bible events, so we know the CONTEXT the WRITER INTENDS.
In short, a whole lot of wasted money on debates over the above five topics, can stop being wasted. Of course, since a lowly brainout simply counted syllables to find this, the finding will be disregarded, disputed, as if the credentials of the person FINDING something was relevant to what was FOUND. But what was FOUND, is in Scripture, so ANYONE, degreed or not, can FIND it.

Revised Book of Hebrews dateline meter. The ending 133 meter is still the same, but I screwed up the interim parsing when initially done, because back then I didn't recognize the cadence. So this video introduces the corrections, with explanations re variants and parsing methodology.
Revised doc still has the same name, and presently doesn't have any commentary, is only the text shown in video, brainout.net/Heb1v1-4.doc and brainout.net/Heb1v1-4.pdf . Thus you can reparse it as you please, with less effort.
Later videos will go through the significance of the meters, and the doc will contain that explanation too. For now, I just introduce some of the connections, not much explaining WHY I know the writer (CLEARLY NOT PAUL) wrote in late 69 or early 70 AD. The Temple was taken down in the final assault which began on Passover and ended on 9th Av, by Titus; this was written before that final assault began, at least by several months, probably the prior fall, so there would be enough time for the letter to circulate. This same close warning was done by Ezekiel for the Diaspora Jews, see his book. And also by Jeremiah, see Jeremiah and Lamentations. So the writer of Hebrews is playing the same God-given role as those two OT prophets.
Vespasian was sent to Jerusalem around 67 AD, so the armies had been surrounding Jerusalem for quite some time before the assault began. They were trying to negotiate a truce with the Jews, to keep Judea a commercial success, and keep invasion costs down. It didn't pan out. You can read Josephus on that, but be aware that Josephus is very bad at numbers: almost all his Bible numbers are perpetually wrong. So use his dates for anything else, also with caution.

Numeric puns on 'middle'. John will do the same thing in his meter, clearly getting his pattern from Hebrews. So what's the deal with 'middle'? Daniel 9:27. The idea was, everyone expected the Temple to go down, Daniel 9:26, but due to Church, also expected that to herald the Tribulation's beginning. So downfall=desecration, hence a kind of pun about middle dates. So, the writer of Hebrews (not Paul, he was dead, Hebrews 13:23) uses a dateline which is 21 years from latest mid-Trib on the timeline pre-Church, dated also when the Lord's age was in the 'middle' of Age 70 and 77. All three dates: 70, 73, 77.. were plotted as what-if-Raptures by Paul in Ephesians 1:3-14.
Only this time, the Lord being 73: the Temple really does go down. Our year? 70AD. Get the pun?
Revised doc still has the same name as before, but now with commentary on the numbers covered in the video: brainout.net/Heb1v1-4.doc and brainout.net/Heb1v1-4.pdf . Thus you can reparse it as you please, with less effort.

Used for Heb111.htm webpage, proving how every Bible in every language I can read (i.e., Romance languages), fatally mistranslates Hebrews 11:1. You can download the originals of videos 2-4 in this list, here: http://vimeo.com/album/2589177 .
Word, Not Works! says Hebrews 11:1
Heb 11:1 playlist header video. Every good deed gets its reward. But every GOD deed gets GOD's Reward. Which do you want? Give a cup of water, and surely you will get YOUR reward. But learn and live on Bible, and get HIS Reward, Heb 11:6. For the REAL Evidence is UNSEEN, says Hebrews 11:1. That verse is the subject of this video. WORD not works! GOD's Works, not yours!
The world rewards its works; and all those works will be burned up, 1Cor3 and last half 2 Peter. For God rewards only HIS Works, Heb 11:6, whole book of James. See my James 2 exegesis playlist, which demonstrates how James proves he's writing about 1Cor 3 rewards, NOT about salvation: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B2D36A5F17A7ABB4. (James wrote his book just before or just after Paul wrote 1Cor, I'm not yet sure who was first. They seem to quote each other, throughout.)
Bible excoriates human works on every page. GOD WORKS, that's the ticket. Trial is about GOD working, or YOU working. Satan wants it to be YOU working, because Satan is MORAL and contends that God should credit creatures for THEIR works -- as he tempted Christ to do, in Matt 4. But what did Christ reply? Matt 4:4 -- live on THE WORD, not works.
So then you're going sabbatical, spending time you COULD be working, on LEARNING Him. So then GOD is working in you, and rewarding the world due to you learning Him, theme of Leviticus 26.
So WORD, not works, is what does a greater work for the world: that's the theme of the Book of Hebrews, as I'll demonstrate in later RFG series videos.
For the full exegesis of Hebrews 11:1 live onscreen, see the response video attached to this one. Associated webpage with these videos in it: Heb111.htm. Last video in the playlist has a video description with the lexicon citations and a mini-movie showing five of them in BibleWorks (or click here: • Hebrews 11:1 Grammar proves Word not ...).
1/2 Translations Decapitate Christ: Hebrews 11:1 Case Study
Gist: Hebrews 11:1 is mistranslated throughout the centuries; the mistranslations all ignore the Hypostasis=Christ meaning in this verse, thus decapitating Christ and all believers in Him, as this video shows. Who says Satan isn't smart to promote 'translated' God?
This is only one example of many. It's the quickest way to see how God is cut out of translations. Here, THE GOD-MAN, cut out by pious translators the world over, for centuries. So surely they had 'help' to be so uniformly blind, even though choosing the same "hupostasis" nickname, to signify Christ's God-man nature! Joke's on us!
Hebrews 11:1 Grammar proves Word not Works!
Answering critics who don't do their Bible homework. Lexicon citations are in this video description, and here we paint out the grammar; see how easy it is to know what the BIBLE says versus translations. Greek grammar rules tell you how to read and translate the verse. You learn these rules in theological kindergarten, aka first-year seminary. So why do scholars screw up its translation for 500 years? Gotta be, Satan & Co. clouding the 'scholars' whenever they read or translate.
Which is easy to do, since the first thing any competent scholar would notice, is that the verse is mistranslated; so he's faced with the uncomfortable issue of having to expose the translation as WRONG. Scholars don't like to expose past scholars as wrong, and it's understandable why. But should the Word of God be compromised in the process? I say NO.
They say YES, and keep on covering up the meaning, preserving the error century after century. That's how Satan &Co. get away with their clouding. They play on the herdbound. Yet any lexicon showing what 'pistis' means, reveals the translation error! To wit:
Go find someone who has a hardback or computer copy, read it for yourself (very long article tracing etymology). Formal book name is Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (abbreviated TDNT), by Gerhard Kittel. It's regarded as a standard in theological circles. You can download a computer copy at Logos (on sale still for $200? video on it, attached); or you can buy the hardback for $500 at Amazon.

See also my James 2 playlist so you can see the entire book of James has the same theme, Word not Works, because ONLY THE WORD, WORKS! Here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...
Word Not Works II
God-level works alone please God; so only GOD can do those works; just as, the Holy Spirit did to the Humanity of Christ on the Cross, bedato yatsdiq Hebrew clause in Isaiah 53:11. Thus God bids us merely BELIEVE in Christ; we are thus saved from hell, saved from our puny nature, saved to God, saved to seeing Him forever. Which makes sense, for how can we puny, do anything of ourselves to please God?
It's a QUALITATIVE, not quantitative, issue. A plant can never do anything of human nature. We can never do anything of GOD nature. Gotta BE God to do that. So only GOD-LEVEL works could save us, and please Him. So Christ has to BE God, and the works be done BY God IN Christ's Humanity. Else, there is no qualifying payment!
So only what God does IN you, qualifies, Col1:25-27, Romans 4, 1Cor3, whole book of James. And HE only uses your belief in WORD, Heb 11:6. No Bible hero is ever praised for his works, but rather his belief. Why? Because God only USES your belief in WORD. And what God uses, makes Divine Good FROM that belief in WORD. His Word. Not, yours.
Any other agent (i.e., you) doing works, can't be Divine, so can't matter: for everyone else, is FINITE so not as good as God, Romans 3:23.
Sin is only part of the problem. We are FINITE, even when in heaven.
See also my James 2 playlist, where I show in the color-coded Greek (but not visible in English), how James makes this very distinction. God did to Abraham's BELIEF IN WORD a work of Divine Quality, and that's why Abraham POST-SALVATION was graduated to Friend of God. POST salvation.
Church believers have a different graduation: crown of life. And to get it, GOD MUST GROW YOU. That's James' theme, just as it was Paul's theme in 1Cor. Both letters were written on the same theme at the same time.
So stop treating your morality as if it did anything for God. Morality is designed to make society work, hold together. Morality keeps your soul from disintegrating into incompetence. Same, for your body. It's like exercise. Stuff you gotta engage in, to have competent function. It's NOT spirituality. For only the Spirit, is spiritual. So only what HE DOES to your head between sins, is spiritual. And if you're not using 1John1:9, He's not doing anything to you, and all your Bible spouting is just hot air.
Cafeeine 2a, intro to Hebrews 11:1, Revisited
To introduce how we must correct translation of Hebrews 11:1, first Google 'subjective' and 'objective' 'genitive'. Video screen shows what results you should get. For Hebrews 11:1 uses Drama Greek, so that use of the genitive, is key to proper translation. As the translators (in all translations!) did NOT pay attention Hebrews 11:1's Greek, but instead copied KJV, we end up with the travesty of Christ being CUT OUT of translation. So the entire point of the chapter, is missed.
Cafeeine 2b-4 will show this fact; but you won't be able to follow how the mistranslation occurred, until you learn something about Bible Greek subjective and objective genitive. So do your research on those genitives, then continue with Cafeeine 2b.
Some links:
Cafeeine 2b, Hebrews 11:1, Revisited Pt 1
Part 1 of 3 on how to prove what Hebrews 11:1 really says, versus the wholly-incorrect translations. The first 'predicate' clause in the verse is shown, in this video. Part 2 will focus on the second predicate clause, and Part 3 will focus on the third predicate clause, and the clever wording placements. So write what's below on paper as shown (except for the --- marks). Predicate clauses are in APPOSITION, to make a three-tier composition, which I call 'tic tac toe'. Writer meters each clause at 7 syllables, Bible-Hebrew-Meter style (21 is a Temple-building number in the OT, for the # of years it took to build Jacob's family, and each of the 2 Temples). This forms the theme of the chapter, which is why it's about the building of believers (Isaiah 53:10 contract), and why Church gets 'better things' (Attic kreittwn), hence Rapture precedes Trib (Heb 11:39-40).
So write the following:
It's about:
Notice on the left, how the words form full ideas VERTICALLY, not merely horizontally. That tic tac toe style of parallelism and apposition was common in ancient languages. Video will cover this in Part 3, but look at it starting in Part 1, on the sheet of paper. Notice the tic tac toe style of parallelism, vertical and horizontal words each convey information more easily absorbed and remembered.
Finally, subjective and objective or even plenary genitives depend on verbal nouns/substantives. Notice how clever, then, to say 'hupostasis' The Assurance, The Reality, The Beingness for The Christ, in the second clause. Since the word is so prominent in Hebrews 1:3 and 3:14 (as you'll see in Pt2), the Greek reader would immediately smile, by the time he gets to Heb 11:1, which begins the most climactic chapter of the epistle. Writer is focusing on the Godness of Christ, in 1:3; on our being part of Christ, in 3:14; hence our beingness, our reality, the substance of our lives, the substance of the Trial for us, is bound up with Him, Heb 11:1. Elegant way to advance the explanation, wouldn't you say?
Cafeeine 5, Hebrews 11:1, Revisited Pt 4
Postscript: So which is it, objective or subjective genitive? Can one tell what the WRITER meant to choose? I think so. This video covers my 'vote'. See what you think. As always, feel free to dispute: please provide substance so I can benefit from your criticism. If you want to call me names, please do. David Berlinski thinks we should be more strident with our insults, and yeah baby I agree with that (produces greater honesty and comraderie, longterm).
