A Dated Synopsis of All Four Gospels

Part I: From the Beginning of the Four Gospels

Until Passover 15 CE

 

-

A Study in Progress:

(Therefore, please forgive me for any errors, whether words remaining from past thinking and not yet corrected or thoughts of mine that are still suffering from being in error until somehow I am given additional rays of light!)

 

 

These are the three parts of this Synopsis:

a.      Part I: The early years of Yeshua’s life until the beginning of his four years of ministry.

b.      Part II: The first two years of Yeshua’s ministry, Passover 15 CE until Passover 17 CE.

c.       Part III: The last two years of Yeshua’s ministry, Passover 17 CE through Passover 19 CE and the end of the Gospels.

d.      More details, re all the events associated with the 19 CE Passover, are found in this table.

 

 

Abstract:

The synopsis below was created initially with a focus towards identifying and to fit together the pieces of the chronological puzzle pertaining to the time period between the Passovers of 16 CE and 17 CE. It has since been extended to include all the years covered by the four Gospels.

Among the discoveries that I made, while creating this synopsis initially, are the following:

 

1)      The numbering of the priestly service weeks and the Sabbaths of Omer are both being reckoned based upon their initial Sabbath of service beginning with the Sabbath of the Hag HaOmer when the Waving of the Sheaf is being brought on the Seventh-day Sabbath morning. This Sabbath is being reckoned a Sabbath #1 of 8 as exemplified in Luke 6:1.

2)      In conjunction with the above I discovered some interesting and valuable things re the Hebrew names pertaining to and identifying the special Sabbaths of the Passover and of the Pentecost, to the effect that “the first sabbath” is really a mistranslation for “the choicest” or “the foremost” day, that is, the Seventh Day. Also the Hebrew very much supports the term Day of Sabbaths, or literally “the seventh of the Sevenths.” Cf. this link! – This implies two significant changes relative to conventional tradition: 1) Pentecost, as well as Hag HaOmer, the Waving of the Sheaf, is a Seventh-day Sabbath morning event [on Saturday morning,] not a First Day [Sunday] morning event; and 2) the First Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was never proclaimed as a day of rest or a day for a holy convocation, only the Seventh day of the Unleavened Bread was!

3)      I also discovered that, during the two occasions during this particular 12 or 13 month season, when Yeshua did attend two off season feasts of the Jews (the calendar of the Jews was off by more than one full month relative to the Scriptural calendar!,) he did so in the company of probably no more than two disciples, John and one more, while the other disciples where working two by two elsewhere accordingly as they had been sent by Yeshua. At the very least Matthew, Mark, and Luke were not partners to those Jerusalem visits (or they would most likely have been reporting their experiences from it in their gospels; and/or John, in his gospel, would have given specific reference to them.)

4)      An important discovery for the purpose of timing was the conjunction of the Sabbath when Peter’s mother-in-law was being healed from her fever, and, on the other hand, the nightly sail across a stormy sea on the New Moon day.

5)      An important discovery opening up this solution was found in the fact that John’s terms “feast of the Jews” and “Jews’ Passover” etc. points to a distinctly different calendar used by the Jews vs. that of Yeshua and the Scriptures. The basics of the calendar of the Jews are fairly well outlined, albeit not perfectly, within Part V of the 1939 General Conference of SDA Research Committee report, which report is known also as the Grace Amadon Collection.

6)      As evidenced by the plucking of the grain on Galilee on the Sabbath of the Waving of the Sheaf vs. Yeshua’s later attendance at the Passover of the Jews in Jerusalem, during this particular year the two calendars were off from one another by more than one full month. This discovery too was key to discovering the particulars of this synopsis. Conversely, the hand to glove fit of the events to the calendar associated with the below synopsis constitutes confirmation for Luke’s term “σαββατω δευτεροπρωτω” referencing none other than the Waving of the Sheaf Sabbath, which in turn is evidence for the above said numbering of the Omer Sabbaths from 1 through 8.

7)      As it turns out, John chapter 5, references a feast of the Jews that is not very helpful at all for reckoning, in spite of the fact that it fell on the Seventh Day Sabbath. This is because all the intermediary feasts of the Jews, between these two Passovers, fell on a Sabbath. It follows that I’ve not been able to identify which feast of the Jews John 5 is giving reference to. It could have been any one of Tishri 1, 15, 22, 16 CE; or Kislev 25, 17 CE.

8)      Certain important details pertaining to the definitions and use of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words meaning either “first in time” or else “foremost in importance” were discovered upon focusing on the event being recorded in Mark 2:1-12 etc.. Cf. this link and this for further details!

When they entered Bethlehem it stood over against the place where the child was.

     [- After midnight on Dec 24, 14 CE Jupiter stood still at the exact point of turning among the stars, that is, before beginning its retrograde motion back towards its origin. That point on the starry sky was located over the left shoulder of Virgo, that is, as if at the top of the child’s head while that child was nursing his mother Virgo, thus mirroring Mary holding baby Yeshua at her breast while nursing. Jupiter was located 50 degrees above the WSW horizon as the full moon was still visible while the sun was rising in the East at 6:58 AM local Jerusalem solar time.[5]]

10 When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

11 They came into the house, found him and his mother Mary, knelt before him, worshipped him, opened their sacks, and brought to him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

[2] A comparison between the Greek and Aramaic (Syriac Peshitta New Testament) indicates to me that the original words are giving reference to the hot season of the year, that is, that portion of the year that ended with the Feast of Ingathering, that is, before Tishri 22 and the Eighth Day Feast.

[4] SNB December 1, 16 BCE Jerusalem sunset: 16:57:58; moonset: 17:51:06; lag: 52 min 08 sec; illum.: 0.99%. The placement of the month is fixed by the Star of Bethlehem correlations to the celestial observations of the shepherds as recorded in Matthew etc. (cf. the various conjunctions within!)
