Abstract:
The Holy Scriptures have many things of great importance that we have
yet to discover and learn. As for me, I find it exceedingly meaningful to
participate firsthand in this learning process, and I am very thankful for
being privileged to have access to some of the many wonderful Bible study tools
available to most anyone these days.
To some of us who have grown up to appreciate the value of the exact
timing indicated most especially by the Seventh Day Sabbath commandment, that
is, the 4th of the Ten Commandments of the Holy Scriptures, this
particular study re the pole shift of Joshua’s Long Day may be of great
significance. That is, seeing that Joshua’s Long Day, which day must have been
the Sixth Day of the week, began at the sunset of a Julian Day Wednesday, and
ended at the sunset of a Julian Day Friday, I perceive ever more the necessity
of having one exact location on Earth defining the continuity of our Creator’s
own calendar.
It becomes obvious to me that that location could be anywhere on Earth, and that it does not have to be fixed to any certain
location relative to either the shifting crust of the Earth or to the invisible
core of the Earth. Indeed, it makes a whole lot of sense to me to identify the
Ark of the Covenant as the throne of God and as the one and only place defining
time in terms of the Creator’s own calendar. The only problem with that is that
the powers that be have been keeping a tight lid upon the secret of the exact
whereabouts of that sacred item ever since the latter years of the reign of
King Solomon of Judah. In his book The Sign and the Seal, Graham Hancock makes
a good case for the Ark of the Covenant having been moved from Jerusalem to
Axum in Ethiopia, but no conclusive proof is provided for that being the
location where the Ark of the Covenant is still being kept. Indeed, there seem
to be indications for the ark having been moved to France even as early as the
11th century. Could it be that that would be the ultimate reason for
Greenwich being our prime time reference even today? I for one am certainly
very interested in learning more certainly of the exact whereabouts of the Ark
of the Covenant at this point of time… But how can I learn that secret, seeing
that the powers that be are seeing the strength in hiding that object behind a
front consisting of many similar items and façades all around our planet?
Perhaps, if enough interest in this particular can be aroused, God, our Creator
and Redeemer, will see fit to answer a continual prayer of ours to that end?
Perhaps my within discoveries re Joshua’s Long Day and re the associated
pole shift may contribute towards arousing a greater interest in this
particular specifically, and in the Holy Scriptures generally?
…
The below referenced table is created, and should be studied, in
conjunction with my
computer reconstructions of Joshua’s Long Day. After having studied all the
particulars, it seems obvious to me that Joshua’s Long Day occurred in
consequence of the pole shift that was concurrent with that event. Creating a
reconstruction of Joshua’s Long Day in the format of 3D-animation and as a
video has taught me very much indeed, and said video information is available
also to the interested reader as items ## 1.b.i.
and 1.b.ii.
within my GateWay
to Pole Shift Studies. In order to truly understand the info being
presented, the reader will no doubt need to refer back and forth between the
table and said videos, or else there will be a lack of understanding, and
confusion will follow in its wake. So, please be advised!

Joshua's
Long Day - An Itinerary for Jerusalem & Joshua |
|
These studies of mine have brought me a long
way from my original general ignorance of the importance of the Scripture
record of Joshua’s Long Day. Over the last several months I’ve been working my
ways through several versions and subversions of my above referenced Itinerary
table. For instance, early on I believed that Joshua’s Long Day occurred within
just a few weeks of the destruction of Jericho and Ai and that the date for
this event was August 3-5, 1423 BCE. However, upon working through all the
details I was eventually alerted to Joshua 8:34, where I read of an event that
occurred subsequent to the destruction of Ai:
“And
afterward he [Joshua] read all the words of the law, the blessings and
cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.”
It occurred to me that the words “read all the words of the law” is, per the
instructions of the Decalogue, in effect a time reference and a date stamp:
“And
Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year
of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
“When
all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he
shall choose, thou shalt read this law before
all Israel in their hearing.”
Deuteronomy 31:10-11
In consequence of 1) that discovery, in
consequence of 2) the Book of Jasher[1]
constraint of this event being placed within five years of the crossing of the
Jordan, and in consequence of 3) my prior chronology findings[2]
re the year of the crossing of Jordan and re the exact placement of all the
Sabbatical years since creation onwards, my attention was directed to the
summer of 1421 BCE. Having at that point of my studies of this event discovered
also that one prime requirement, for the proper placement of this event, is a
proximity to the summer solstice and the long summer nights of the northern
countries, and that another requirement for this event is an astronomical full
moon event tied to the UT evening hours, I then turned to the NASA's Phases of the Moon tables, where I find one, and only one, good
candidate for this event, that is, the full moon dated June 14, 1421 BCE at
20:04 UT.
Having discovered, based upon 1) the identification of Joshua's Long
Day with the pole shift that shifted the pole from Greenland Sea to Hudson Bay[3] and 2) having, by means of my computer
reconstructions thus far, been able to identify the pre Pole Shift latitude and
longitude[4] for the Jerusalem area where Joshua's
recorded events took place, I was then ready to prepare a more accurate version
of my reconstruction of Joshua’s Long Day. For some of the most important
criteria and discoveries I’ve made, please refer to the highlighted cells
within my above referenced
Itinerary table and to the animated reconstructions of the pole shifts that I
have made available at this link…
Lessons learnt from the within study of Joshua’s
Long Day:
From the many lessons I have learnt through this study I have prepared
the following list:
a. The Hebrew version of
Book of Jasher is using a word indicating that the Sun passed the point of
zenith during Joshua’s Long Day (cf. line #44 within my above referenced
table!)
b. The Hebrew version of
Book of Jasher is using words indicating that Joshua’s Long Day coincided with
the first morning of the month when the Sun rises prior to the setting of the
Moon, an event which has been used since ancient times as proof that the time
of the astronomical full Moon has passed (cf. line #34 within my above
referenced table!)
c. The Hebrew version of Book of Jasher is giving reference to 36 time units,
which time units, when understood in terms of water clock hours, adds a
very powerful constraint re the length of Joshua’s Long Day, and, in
consequence, re the duration of the pole shift (cf. 1.k below, and lines ##51-52 within my above
referenced table!)
d. Recognizing the
exactness of the words being used in the Holy Scriptures for recording this
event, I find it significant also to notice the absence of any words to the
effect of indicating any lunar or solar eclipse event (cf. NASA's Phases of the Moon tables!) This fact further serves to rule out a
number of full moon events that could otherwise have been under consideration.
Or at least, so it was for me at the beginnings of this quest of mine…
e. The words spoken by
Joshua provides for us, not only the exact direction of the Sun and the Moon,
but also the exact time of day, when those words were being spoken,
indeed, even the most likely location of Joshua at that time (cf. line
#30 within my above referenced table!)
g.
Adding the five year period following the crossing of the Jordan,
as identified by Book of Jasher 89:54 and 90:1, serves to place this event in
the greater scheme of events (please cf. the tag ‘6000+ years’ within my Excel
table entitled The
Sacred Calendar of the Creator in Progress...)
h. Adding to the above
the criteria recorded in Book of Jasher 88:10, 11, 14, re the timing of the
destruction of Jericho at the time of Passover and within the months numbered
one and two, the Feast of Tabernacle event referenced in Joshua 8:34 (cf. 1.e above!,) and the proximity in time to the
summer solstice (cf. 1.i below!,) it is evident that the Long Day of
Joshua did not take place in the same year as did the crossing of the Jordan
and the sacking of Jericho (cf. 1.g above!)
j.
War activities
in ancient times are generally thought of as having been initiated at spring
time. To the extent that this is true it seems to agree quite well with the
events recorded in Joshua 10:3-5, and thus also with Joshua’s Long Day falling
on June 13-15, 1421 BCE, three weeks prior to summer solstice day on July
5,1421 BCE.
k.
Placing the northernmost portion of Joshua’s and Jerusalem’s itinerary
during the light portion of the day would allow a pole
shift of shorter duration (say 24 hours) and would eliminate the criteria
requiring a proximity to summer solstice day[5],
but my original considerations[6]
and simulations to that end proved to be impossible when adding the
criteria of the sun passing zenith. Said scenario also failed to find a
satisfactory meaning for Book of Jasher’s reference to 36 time units.
l.
After having considered the limits of the workable solutions to this
reconstruction, I find that the duration of the pole shift associated
with Joshua’s Long Day may be specified as 55.5 hours ±2 hours (cf. the
footnote below line #67 within my above referenced table!)
m. By means of modern
astronomy software
(freely available to all,) the above constraints may be used for exactly
identifying the exact timing of Joshua’s Long Day, and, indeed, of most every
event found recorded within the Holy Scriptures… (More at this
link!)
2. The Hebrew words of
Book of Jasher translated “the
day was declining toward evening”
is a reference to the twilight hour between sunset and the end of astronomical
twilight (cf. line #27 within my above referenced table!,) and is not to be
understood in terms of a point in time earlier in the afternoon and prior to
sunset. Thus, once again, the exact meaning of the Hebrew word ‘erev’ as used in the Holy Scriptures is being shown, by
means of the within reconstruction of Joshua’s Long Day, to be a reference
to the darkness of the night, that is, in contrast to the light of the day.[7] The Scripture emphasis upon the
importance of definitions, and upon beginnings, adds the frequent association
between said word and sunset, but I do not see that beginning being inherent in
the Hebrew word ‘erev’ in and of itself.
3. Looking closely at
the Hebrew text of Joshua 10:12 vs. that of KJV, I find that the Hebrew word
translated “upon Gibeon” is more accurately translated “in Gibeon,” which
meaning certainly is much more consistent with the findings arrived at by means
of my reconstruction of this event. That is, the Sun did set below the horizon,
but not far enough (only to 15°) below the horizon for the astronomical twilight (between
12° and 18°) to
turn into the full darkness (>18°) of night (cf. line #27 within my above
referenced table!) Accordingly, my preferred translation reads as follows (TLT:)
Joshua 10:12 TLT Then spake Joshua to the LORD
in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of
Israel, and said in the sight of Israel,
Sun, stand thou still within Gibeon;
and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Joshua
10:12 KJV Then spake Joshua
to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children
of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon,
in the valley of Ajalon.
4. As above said, for
any true and reliable calendar, and for the Creator’s
own calendar in particular, it is necessary to identify exactly one location
on Earth as a prime reference for time (cf. columns ##4-5, especially line
#1 vs. lines ##51-52 within my above referenced table!) Identifying that
location in terms of the throne of God, in terms of the Ark of Noah, and
in terms of the Ark of the Covenant, makes a whole lot of sense, especially
upon seeing that at the time of any major catastrophe such as the Flood of Noah
and of pole shifts such as occurred at the time of Joshua and at the time of
King Hezekiah, may wipe clean most any area of land upon this planet, even to
the point of total loss of recognition of those few who may survive such a
catastrophe.
5. Recognizing the power
inherent in identifying the prime time reference with the throne of God, and
none other, removes any and all reasons for fearing the truth re any unknown
past potentially destabilizing event such as is indeed any and all pole shifts.
Thus, every Seventh-day Adventist should be able to fearlessly resume their
powerful stand for the true Seventh-day Sabbath and, as well, for each and all
of the Creator’s annual Sabbath days (cf. columns ##4-5, especially line #1
vs. lines ##51-52 within my above referenced table!)
