- The Biblical Age of the Earth -
Are we already long past the 6th millennium?
by Rachel Cory-Kuehl, Oct 10, 2024
Those of you who follow this website, know that I’ve written several studies based on my belief that Messiah Yeshua will return at the end of the 6th millennium from Adam’s sin with the fruit of the Tree in the Garden. If we are presently long past that 6000 year point, then I will need to rethink my particular belief concerning the fulfillment of the “eighth day” prophecy at the 8th millennium. When I wrote the first “8th Day” studies back in 2012, I was unaware of the ages given in the Septuagint. At this point, I remain unconvinced of the LXX begetting ages, yet open to knew insights. The debate is very important. One can only hope and pray that more ancient manuscripts will be found, to give us greater insight. Few have any understanding of all the variable factors that could effect the calculation. The following article by Hardy and Carter of creation.com, made it very clear to me that we just cannot know for certain, exactly how many years have passed since the creation of Adam. The total years posited, range from 5846 years to 7680 years.
The biblical minimum and maximum age of the earth
by Chris Hardy and Robert Carter
An avalanche of articles and videos have poured forth in recent years, supporting the Septuagint, and disputing the begetting ages given in Genesis Chapters 5 and 11 of the Hebrew Masoretic text. One can easily pull up a dozen such, with a simple search. It has been much more difficult to find credible, well researched articles supporting the begetting ages of the patriarchs given in the Masoretic Text. I wanted to share the following links with you. I’ve been a fan of Robert Carter for at least 10 years. He is a meticulous geneticist and scientist.
