A dissertation on the true age of the world : $b in which is determined the chronology of the period from creation to the Christian era
Wallace, R. (Robert)
Bible; Chronology; Chronology, Historical
_From the death of Noah_ B. C. 2867, to that of Shem B. C. 2715, are
152 years, which is 8 times the cycle of 19; thence, to that of
Arphaxad B. C. 2677, 38 years, which is 2 times the cycle of 19; and
thence, to that of Cainan II. B. C. 2620, 57 years, which is 3 times
the cycle of 19,—to the birth of Abraham, are 722 years, which is 2
times the square of the cycle 19,—to the death of Joseph B. C. 1784,
are 1083 years, which is 3 times the square of the cycle of 19,—to the
birth of David B. C. 1100, are 1767 years, which is 93 cycles of
19,—and to the French Revolution of A. D. 1789, are 4655 years, which
is 245 cycles of 19, or 95 Jubilees. From the flood to the death of
Salah B. C. 2517, are 700 years; and from the death of Noah to the
same, are 350 years.
From the birth of Judah B. C. 1903, to the attempt to establish a
Christian church at Jerusalem A. D. 1842, are exactly 3744 years,
which is two times the square of 12, added to 3 times the cube of 12.
From the capture of Jerusalem by David B. C. 1063, to A. D. 1842, are
exactly 2904 years, or 2 times the square of 11, added to 2 times the
cube of 11. Hence, from the birth of Judah to the capture of
Jerusalem, are 840 years, which is the product of 70 and 12, or of 7
and 120. From the Exodus B. C. 1639, to the capture of Jerusalem, are
576 years, which is 4 times the square of 12, and to A. D. 1842, are
3480 years, which is 2 times 12 added to 2 times the cube of 12; and
from the entrance of Israel into Canaan B. C. 1599, to A. D. 1842, are
3440 years, which is 8 times 430, (see Exodus xii. 40.)
NOTE B.
It is utterly impossible to give our readers any correct idea of the
extraordinary labour which the author must have had in the
construction of these Tables, or of the astonishing coincidences which
he has discovered in the cyclical periods of time which connect remote
events in the history of the world with those which are passing under
our own eyes in these latter days; we must positively refer our
readers to the works themselves, particularly the “Season of the End.”
We shall take however one event from this work, as an example of the
rest, namely, the “Accession of Victoria,” A. D. 1837, and show how he
connects it with past history in the true system of Chronology. From
the birth of Seth, B. C. 5249, are 7085 years, which is the sum of the
trinal fractions 6973, 91, and 21; the corresponding epochs being a
Grand conjunction of the Planets in A. D. 1725, the first year of
General Peace in A. D. 1816, and the Accession; or, the sum of the
trinal fractions 6963, 91, and 31, the corresponding epochs being the
Rebellion of A. D. 1715, the fall of Prussia in A. D. 1806, and the
Accession.
