The exact day of creation!

[Salty]

I have a Chronological Bible - published by Regal Publishers, inc, of Nashville, Tn. The editor is Edward Reese, of Glenwood, Illinois. On Page 4 of the helps - there is a page giving the exact date of creation. It states Day 1 was on 27 Mar 3976 BC.

Originally published in 1980, the Reese Chronological Bible is the first Bible of its kind. It takes the King James Version text and rearranges the verses (not just the chapters) in chronological order.

This edition is probably the most finely-detailed effort to present the Scriptures in chronological order, according to both the historical position of the narrative (it starts with John 1:1) and the chronological authorship of its books (as evidenced by the placement of Job very early in the text. There are no harmonizations of passages either. Every verse of every chapter of every book is presented. When there are multiple accounts of events in the Gospels, each is presented one right after the other. In dealing with parallel accounts in Kings and Chronicles, the text is split into twin colums, one representing events in Israel while the other describes the corresponding events in Judah.

The timeline as I once imagined it. I see the Oriental Orthodox church is still alive in Ethiopia so I don't know. As I am not permitted to look into the book sealed with seven seals i can only guess...

4300 BC - Creation of Adam
2640 BC - The Great Flood
2060 AD - Christ’s coming
3100 AD - End of millennial and destruction of planet earth

Dr. John Lightfoot, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and one of the most eminent Hebrew scholars of his time, declared, as the result of his most profound and exhaustive study of the Scriptures, that "heaven and earth, centre and circumference, were created all together, in the same instant, and clouds full of water," and that "this work took place and man was created by the Trinity on October 23, 4004 B. C., at nine o'clock in the morning."

Isaac Newton's reasoning...

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half. -Daniel 12:7

From a folio cataloged as Yahuda MS 7.3g, f. 13v:

"So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & an half, reckoning twelve months to a year & 30 days to a month as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year. And the days of short lived Beasts being put for the years of lived kingdoms, the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end A.C. 2060." - Isaac Newton

As Charlemagne was crowned king on December 25, 800 by Pope Leo the III so the day of Christ's coming may be on Christmas Day, 2060. If the rapture of the saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) occurs seven years before the time of Christ's coming the date of the rapture 12.25 2053. However Isaac Newton notes...

"It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fancifull men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, & by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast." - Isaac Newton

What was the time span between the Creation and the First day? Could it have been millions of years? Was time even measured before what God called the first day?

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. - Genesis 1

Eph 6:12 because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;
2 Cor 4:4 in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

Is the god of this age of darkness present on the earth in Genesis 1:2?

2 Cor 4:6 because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Was it out of the darkness of the god of this age in which Word the God established Light that good on the earth separate from the darkness.
