The Genesis Theory/The Pyramid Theory

The Genesis Theory

6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.   (Noah and the flood follows).

The Pyramid Theory

The Book of Enoch elaborates greatly on Genesis 6:1-4, and Enoch 6:6 speaks about the fallen angels and nephilim (giants) in the time of Jared (6^th generation of Adam). (The Book of Enoch is quoted in Jude 14-15 in the Bible - See blog entry for Wednesday, 9 May 2012)

Creation of Adam   4115 B.C.  )

                                               > 460 years (Genesis 5).

Birth  of  Jared       3655  B.C. )

                                               > 1196 years- Max. reign of fallen angels and nephilim.

Noah and the Flood 2459 B.C. )

So, if the fallen angels and nephilim built the great Pyramids of Egypt, they were built between 3655 and 2459 B.C.  Or between 5667 and 4471 years ago (i.e. 5000 years ago).

Chronology Of Mankind

GENESIS (2012)

1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Adam to Noah – 1056 years  (5:3-31)

Noah to Flood – 600 years  (7:6)

Flood to Abraham – 292 years  (11:10-26)

Abraham to Isaac – 100 years  (21:5)

Isaac to Jacob – 60 years  (25:26)

Jacob to Egypt – 130 years  (47:7-12)

Jews in Egypt – 430 years  (Exodus 12:40)

Moses’ Exodus from Egypt to Solomon’s 4^th year of rule – 480 years  (1 Kings 6:1)

Total number of years from the creation of Adam – 3148 years

Biblical Historians give the date of the 4^th year of Solomon’s rule as 967 B.C.

Therefore the creation of Adam was in 4115 B.C.  (3148+967)

Therefore Mankind is 6127 years old  (4115+2012)

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  2 Peter 3:8

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.  Exodus 20:9-11

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  Revelation 20:4

*Current year in Hebrew calendar is 5772 (355 year difference).

The Garden Of Eden

Oil deposits result from the decomposition of plant and animal life now buried by eons of time. Oil is found all over the world, even under the ice of the Arctic and Antarctic. That means forests and abundant vegetation once covered the world until destroyed in a vast global cataclysm (such as a worldwide flood).

   The earth's richest, deepest, and largest deposits of petroleum lie under the sands of countries just to the east of Israel, in the location pinpointed in the Bible as the garden of Eden. Eden was a teeming expanse of forests, foliage, and gardens with rich fertility unparalleled in human history.

   Barren sand and blazing desert now exist where once grew a garden flourishing with dense, lush flora, the likes of which the world has not seen since. It was destroyed in some disastrous upheaval and has decayed into the largest deposits of oil in the world. Imagine that the gasoline you pump into your car might be the ruined remains of the rich, vast foliage of the garden of Eden.

   It's ironic to think that mankind may fight the Battle of Armageddon at the end of human history over the very same garden he spoiled at the beginning of human history.
