By way of scripture it is possible to compile a We are told the Lamb was „slain from the simple chronology of time. This is different from historical works who seek by way of history and archaeology to compile a chronology. This chronology relies upon bible prophecy to assemble a timeline up to a specified start point. That point being the baptism of Jesus in river Jordan by John. It is a chronology of the redemption of wayward man by a faithful God. The goal is a new and incorruptible heaven and earth for man. An important time concept is “The Foundation of „The World.‟“ This gives rise to two ages, either „“Before The Foundation of „The World‟“ or “Since The Foundation of „The World‟“. The time “Before The Foundation of „The World‟“, takes in everything that happened prior to that event. This present age of redemption is „The World‟ referred to by scripture. This 6,000 year age of redemption began with Adam’s fall. Other information contained in bible scripture is provided as a foot note to facilitate understanding God‟s plan of redemption. Scripture then reads as a love letter from a jilted lover to his lost love, mankind. Man, made in the likeness of God, has no greater purpose than to reflect the light and image of the unseen Godhead. For as the moon is to rule the night so also is regenerated man to rule or fill the darkness of this fallen age.
foundation of the world‟. The World or This Age was founded when the Lamb was slain. When did that happen? It happened shortly after the fall of man. The Genesis account tells that after man ate the forbidden fruit, he sewed garments from fig leaves to cover his nakedness. God‟s question was, „who told you that you are naked?‟ Adam‟s fig leafs speak of man trying to redeem himself or cover his nakedness. Not pleased with this act of works, the Elohim slew an animal to cloth man. God‟s act of grace signifies the slaying of the Lamb, Christ , our eternal reconciliation unto a righteous God. For without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. But the blood of Lambs and calves cannot eternally cover our sin. Only Christ who entered the Holy place by way of his own blood could forever cover our sins. Christ death made a way for wayward man to stand once again in presence of a righteous God. This method determined Adam‟s approximate age at sin of 26.5 years old, (27AD baptism). This Anno Mundi date is 4000.5BC. The date for “The Foundation of „The World‟” to be about 26.5 years later. Other writings provide more detail, this is just an overview.
