[Asked to justify his estimate that Day One of Genesis was on the year 12,975 BC]

The day of pentacost began around 30 ad. So it should be 12,970 years ago that it all began.

There was six days of creation, then God rested on the 7th day, that is 7,000 years. Then on the eighth day God put Adam in the Garden of Eden. For us that started 6,000 years ago. So 6,000 & 7,000 add up to 13,000.

Jesus was born somewhere around 5 BC. He began His ministry at the age of 30 and it lasted for 3.5 years. The temple was destroyed around 70 ad. It is clear here that the Messiah was cut off half way though the week and the temple was destroyed at the end of the week or around 70 ad.

The Church age, or the age of grace began around 30 AD. This is the age of grace that will last two days or 2,000 years. So the age of grace will come to an end around 2,030. I use to joke with my wife that I would be alive when Jesus returns, so I would be around 80 years old then.

When you subtract the 30 from 1000 you get 970. Then you count back 7 days (7,000 years) & 6 days (6,000). So that is 13,000 years minus the 30 years so that comes out 12,970 years or there about.

I do not know that exact number, but there are people who think that they do know it. I can not even figure out what to do with the year 0.
