Thread: The Year

  1. #41
    I suspect more was fulfilled in 30AD that meets the eye. What some might call a "mistake" might just be an intentional concealment of facts. Consider Pentecost day in Acts 2 (30 AD) in view of bush or tree on fire that did not burn, men like trees walking, burnt offering (that did not burn). Among other things, the shofar is used to herald the presence of a king, the blower is always present.

    Passover was and is about judgment and escape or exemption from judgment. Pentecost is another matter. At the end of the Passover is said to be the Feast of Firstfruits (beginning of barley harvest). Pentecost is said to be the Feast of Harvest (or Feast of Weeks)--beginning of the wheat harvest. The 49 days from Feast of First Fruits is said to be a "week of weeks".

    Re: 30 AD vs 33 AD
    Of course there are variations as to what year. For me it has come down to 30 AD or 33 AD ...30 AD seems most plausible except there are those who hold 30AD to be 3+ years short of Daniel's 490 years. Alterations and mistakes with respect to the Gregorian calendar system is worth considering since the current calendar is said to be a bit off. Some say the calendar is off 4 to 6 years (re: Herod's death).

    Paul mentions that Barnabas and Titus went with him to Jerusalem 14 years after his conversion (Gal.2:1). This could only be the trip that he took to Jerusalem with food supplies and money that is mentioned in Acts 11:30.

    While Paul, Barnabas, and Titus were at Jerusalem, King Herod Agrippa died. His death is well documented to have occurred in 44 A.D.. If we subtract 14 years from 44 A.D., it brings us to 30 A.D., which is the year of Paul's conversion (Acts 9:1-22), as well as the year of Jesus' death.

    Agrippa who was a friend of Caligula, the Emperor of Rome, was made king of the Tetrarchy of his uncle Philip Techoritis and the Tetrarchy of Lysanias (Abla) a few days after Caligula's ascension to power in March of 37 A.D.. Agrippa went to his lands in 39 A.D., but almost immediately returned to Rome to bring accusations against his uncle Antipas to Caligula in 39 A.D..

    Upon the assassination of Caligula on January 24, 41 A.D., Agrippa encouraged Claudius to accept the rulership of the Empire. Very early in his reign, in February or March, Claudius confirmed to Agrippa all the gifts of land Caligula had made to him and added to them the rest of the kingdom of Herod the Great.

    Josephus says that, after having reigned for 3 years (41-44 A.D.), Agrippa died (Antiquities XIX 8.2). Agrippa's death is also described in Acts 12:21-23.
