I have been carefully tracing out historical and calendar evidence to build an accurate Biblical timeline based upon the cycles of Jubilees years since last year and just thought I would share it for Bible students who are interested. I hope that this in some way will help bring the church to greater faith and knowledge in Christ. I pray that God will bless the study as well. I'm wanting to add to this and invite all discussion concerning these events. I have made use of Stellarium astronomy application, Hdate Hebrew calendar application, Josephus and Scripture to build up this basic outline of events. There are many more dates yet to be added. These are simply some of the first that can be verified based upon corroboration with Josephus.

3756 H.Y. (6-5 B.C.) Based upon available astronomical data corroborated with Scripture, Jesus is born in Bethlehem, Judah upon the night following the day of Asara B'Tevet, 10th of Tevet (when the marriage of Esther to Ahasuerus took place - Esther 2:16) between Tues. Dec. 19 and Wed. Dec. 20, 6 B.C., 8 days after Chanukah (Feast of Dedication) and in the midst of the Roman Saturnalia and Feast of Sol Invictus (The Invincible Sun) from Dec. 18-25; Matt. 2; Luke 2. This confirms the early witness of the church that Jesus was born around the time of the Saturnalia and the Feast of Sol Invictus at the Winter Solstice. Jesus would have been circumcised at Jerusalem upon 18 Tevet (Wed. Dec. 27, 6 B.C.) and he would have been dedicated in the Temple upon 21 Sh'vat (Sun. Jan. 28, 5 B.C.).

3767 H.Y. (6-7 B.C.) At 12 years old, Jesus is found in the Temple of Jerusalem 6 days after Passover by Joseph and Mary upon 27 Nisan (Sun. April 1, A.D. 7) during the year of the census enrolment of Cyrenius - Luke 2.

3771 H.Y. (A.D. 10-11) According to Mommson (ISBE), this is the first year of the co-regent reign of Tiberius Caesar (ISBE).

3785 H.Y. (A.D. 24-25) During the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, John comes baptising in the Wilderness and Jesus is baptised by him in the Jordan around the time of the Summer Solstice of A.D. 25. That John was baptising at the time of Summer Solstice is indicated by his preaching using the symbol of the summer threshing floor. John uses the symbol from the wheat threshing and harvest that came in the month Tamuz (June/July) in Judea, 4 months after the planting season around the time of the Vernal Equinox and Passover in the month Nisan (March/April) - viz. John 4:35; Luke 3:1-22

3786 H.Y. (A.D. 25-26) 1st Jubilee of the Christian Advent. 1st year of 1st Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent. 13th Jubilee after Captivity. 1st Jubilee Annunciation since the time of Isaiah. 2nd recorded Jubilee Annunciation in Scripture. Deduced from the records of Josephus, this is the only possible year that the Jubilee could have come at the beginning of the Ministry of Christ. For in following the time-frame given by Josephus, the next 1st year of the Sabbath Year falls too late beginning in autumn of A.D. 33-34 after Christ is ascended to Heaven. Therefore, there is only one possible date that the Jubilee could have come and been announced during the Ministry of Christ-- Yom Kippur 10 Tishrei (Sat. Sept. 20, A.D. 25). Christ is 30 years and 10 months old when He begins His ministry at the Synagogue of Nazareth, Galilee upon the Sabbath of Yom Kippur during the Jubilee of A.D. 25 (viz. Lev. 8; Luke 3:23; 4:16-21). So in all, there are 13 Jubilees from Captivity to Christ and there are 14 Jubilees from the Jubilee Annunciation of Isaiah the Prophet to the Jubilee Annunciation of Christ.

3787 H.Y. (A.D. 26-27) 2nd year of the 1st Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent.

3788 H.Y. (A.D. 27-28) 3rd year of the 1st Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent.

3789 H.Y. (A.D. 28-29) 4th year of the 1st Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent. The Passion & Resurrection of Christ occurs at the beginning of the 7th Civil month Nisan, 6 full months after Rosh Hashana in the month Tishrei, in the midst of 1st Sabbath Year cycle of the Christian Advent, with the Passion upon 13 Nisan (Fri. April 13, A.D. 29) and the Resurrection upon the 1st day of Passover, 15 Nisan (Sun. April 15, A.D. 29). This confirms the early witness of the Church that the Passion of Christ occurred on Fri. the 13th of the Julian cycle. This also confirms and fulfils the prophecy of Daniel that the Messiah would be cut off in the midst of 1 Week (Sabbath Year). Erev Shavuot (Day of Pentacost) arrives on 5 Sivan (Sun. June 3, A.D. 29) - Acts 2.

3790 H.Y. (A.D. 29-30) 5th year of the 1st Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent.

3791 H.Y. (A.D. 30-31) 6th year of the 1st Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent.

3792 H.Y. (A.D. 31-32) 7th year of the 1 Sabbath Year of the Christian Advent. The 490th year from the edict of Artaxerxes given to Ezra to return to Jerusalem and restore the Law. Thus, this year concludes the cycle of 70 Weeks (Sabbath Years) given in the Prophecy of Daniel.

3822 H.Y. (A.D. 61-62) 1st year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent.

3823 H.Y. (A.D. 62-63) 2nd year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent.

3824 H.Y. (A.D. 63-64) 3rd year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent. The Great Fire of Rome occurs during the reign of Nero Caesar on 17 Av (Fri. July, 18 A.D. 64) beginning at the Circus Maximus in Rome.

3825 H.Y. (A.D. 64-65) 4th year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent. John is most probably exiled to Patmos this year during the persecution of Christians after the Great Fire of Rome.

3826 H.Y. (A.D. 65-66) 5th year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent. John most probably begins receiving the Revelation of Jesus Christ upon Tzom Gedaliah (Feast of Trumpets) which came upon 4 Tishrei (Sun. Sept. 20 A.D. 65). This is signified by John's statement concerning the 'Lord's Day', which both signified the return of the Lord and Sunday the day upon which Christ rose from the dead and also the sound of the Trumpet blast that John hears at the beginning of the Revelation - Rev. 1:9-11

3827 H.Y. (A.D. 66-67) 6th year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent.

3828 H.Y. (A.D. 67-68) 7th year of the 6th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent. The Siege of Jerusalem by Titus Vespasian begins during Passover Week 14-21 Nisan (Fri. April 15 - Fri. April 22 A.D. 67) and lasts for exactly 42 months from 14 Nisan 3827 (Fri. April 15, A.D. 67) to 8 Elul 3830 (Sun. Aug. 31, A.D. 70) - viz. Josephus, Wars of the Jews Book 5, Chap.3, Sec. 1; Book 6, Chap. 4, Sec. 8; Chap. 10, Sec. 1.

3829 H.Y. (A.D. 68-69) 1st year of the 7th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent.

3830 H.Y. (A.D. 69-70) 2nd year of the 7th Sabbath Year prior to the 2nd Jubilee of the Christian Advent. Jerusalem is destroyed and the Temple burnt by the Roman armies under the command of Titus Vespasian on 10 Av, Tish'a B'Av, (Sun. Aug. 3, A.D. 70) in fulfilment of the Prophecy of Daniel and Jesus Christ - Daniel 9; Matt. 24.
