When Jesus was born, biblical chronologies suggested the Earth was around 6,000 years old, calculated by adding genealogies from Adam to Jesus (roughly 4,000 years) to the ~2,000 years from Jesus' birth to the present day, though scientific consensus places the Earth's age at about 4.5 billion years.
The Bible does not give us an exact number of years since creation, but when you follow the genealogies from Adam through the patriarchs up to Christ (Genesis 5; Genesis 11; Matthew 1; Luke 3), many Bible scholars estimate the earth to be within a range of 6,000 to 7,000 years old.
In accordance with Theophilus' calculations, the world was from 5600 to 5700 year old. Among other dates, a younger age of 5228 years at the beginning of Christ's public life was derived by Eusebius of Caesarea, yielding about 5199 years for the Nativity.
Over the years, the Church of God has explained that God has a 7,000-year plan. While this is not specifically stated in Scripture, it is understood through history and scriptural analogy.
Luke's Gospel says he was born during the census of Quirinius, which was taken in late 6 CE or early 7 CE. Based on a mythical year for Adam and Eve, and an unreliable year for Jesus, we could say that Jesus was born about 4000 years after Adam and Eve.
God tells us 365 times in His Word: “Fear not.” Why? Because He is with you.
If you trace the biblical chronologies back, it leaves you with a number around 6,000 years. So Adam and Eve were created roughly 6k years ago. For reference, the ark event happened(again, according to the biblical chronologies) approximately 4,000 ago and the coming of Jesus 2,000 years ago, give or take 26 years.
Scripture does not mention the existence of dinosaurs—at least not as we now understand them—neither before nor after the Genesis Flood.
The Jubilee of 2033
The year 2033 will be of exceptional significance for the Christian community and the entire world. This extraordinary year will mark the 2000th anniversary of the Redemption, an event that highlights the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the foundation of Christian faith.
Numerous efforts have been made to determine the biblical date of creation, yielding varying results. Besides differences in interpretation, the use of different versions of the Bible can also affect the result. Two dominant dates for creation using such models exist, about 5500 BC and about 4000 BC.
Why did God wait another 400 years after the last prophet of the Old Testament, Malachi, before He began the New Testament? The answer: certain conditions had to be set in place before God could send down His son in order to ensure that once the atoning sacrifice had been made, the gospel could be spread.
So Jesus uses the daylight (or daytime) as a picture of His physical presence in the world, and His notes that there are only "12 hours" of daylight to emphasize that His presence on earth was to be for a limited time. Just as the daytime only last so long (12 hours) and then night comes, so was Jesus' time on Earth.
Now, as we think through this question, are planets biblical, we don't specifically see planets mentioned in the Bible.
With an environment devoid of oxygen and high in methane, for much of its history Earth would not have been a welcoming place for animals. The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old.
Four centuries ago, James Ussher calculated our planet's birthdate. Ussher was an archbishop and a professor at Trinity College in Dublin. Using clues from the Bible, he decided that Earth was born on today's date in 4004 BC. That would make Earth 6,026 years old.
So there will be no rapture on the Feast of Trumpets this year 2025. It won't happen since Sept 23-24 can't be after the tribulation, which hasn't even started yet. Even Jonathan Cahn is saying it could happen, it might happen. No, absolutely not.
Year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini (AD) calendar year system commonly used to number years in the Gregorian calendar and Julian calendar. Instead, AD 1 is treated as the epoch, so that the year 1 BC is followed directly by year AD 1.
Yeshua was said to be 33 years old at the time of his crucifixion and resurrection. Whether you believe that literally or symbolically, the Christ Year—your 33rd year of life—is often seen as a spiritual initiation. A time when the soul is called to deeper service, deeper truth and deeper surrender.
If the answer is that 1) the dinosaurs lived and died before Adam and Eve, then we are consistent with evolutionary theory at least in the sense that dinosaurs lived long before humans.
The short answer is, “Yes.” This is one of those areas where Christians should be free to disagree. There are many conservative Bible scholars who believe in something like evolution.
Consequently, Jesus received his DNA from the Blessed Mother, Mary and, by extension, her direct ancestors.
No, no one has ever lived to be 200 years old with verified records; the oldest verified person was Jeanne Calment, who lived to 122 years and 164 days, but some scientists believe the first person to reach 200 may have already been born, given advancements in longevity research. Claims of much older ages, like Li Ching-yun (claimed 250+ years) or Peng Zu (claimed 800+ years), lack modern scientific verification.
Right from the start, then, God has company—other divine beings, the sons of God. Most discussions of what's around before creation omit the members of the heavenly host. That's unfortunate, because God and the sons of God, the divine family, are the first pieces of the mosaic.
