Bible Statistics and History

500 BCE was 2521 years ago. This calculation is based on the current year, which is 2021 CE (Common Era). To determine the number of years between 500 BCE and 2021 CE, you subtract 500 from 2021, resulting in 1521 years. However, you need to add an additional 1000 years to account for the difference between BCE and CE dating systems, resulting in a total of 2521 years.

The letter "R" does not appear in every Bible verse; this is a misconception. In fact, the letter "R" is not specifically significant in the context of individual Bible verses.

Time counting backwards before the birth of Christ is a convention used in historical dating systems, particularly in the BC/AD or BCE/CE systems. This convention is based on the concept of a timeline or chronology, where events are ordered from past to present.

It is important to note that this dating system is a cultural convention and does not imply any actual reversal of time.

For population studies, a "generation" is usually taken to be about thirty years.

So, 2011 ÷ 30 = 67.

This means that, if the 'average' person's ancestors all had their first child at the age of 30, then there would be 65 "great-" before "grandfather" for the member of their family who was alive in the correct timespan.

Although we can learn from all the scriptures, the ones we can immediately read and live are those specific to our day. Jesus' words applicable to our day encourage us to live with the reality of the power of the Holy Spirit in evidence.

Acts 1:6-8 "When they therefore were come together... he said unto them... ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Scriptures written since the day of Pentecost transform us, and we instantly 'run' with them because they communicate our reality. The seven church epistles, Romans through Thessalonians, are God's communication to the body of Christ in the age of Grace. The book of Acts is also our blueprint, providing an example of believers living with the power of the Holy Spirit during this age.

I Thessalonians 1:5,8 "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance... For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad..."

While reading and delighting in all the scriptures, we are most readily transformed by the Word that applies to our day. We experience the reality of the Holy Spirit in evidence and inspire others to do the same.

Oh honey, that's a tricky one. Jesus was born around 4 BC, while Isaiah was prophesying around the 8th century BC. So, if my math is right (and it always is), that's roughly about 700-800 years between the two. Time flies when you're changing water into wine, huh?

Well, honey, both are right! "Song of Songs" is the literal translation of the Hebrew title "Shir HaShirim," while "Song of Solomon" is the traditional English title.

Just a little stroll down the path of conversion, and we have our answer. Remember, there are no mistakes in math, just happy little accidents!
