What Year is it?

Are we really living in the year 2020? When did time begin? The following is my best attempt to find the Truth.

Before we begin, you must be familiar with Revelation 20.

Year of the world, called Anno Mundi, is supposed to have begun after Creation was finished, or after the Fall of man happened. Anno Mundi was eventually changed to "B.C." which means "Before Christ." After Christ had arrived, Anno Mundi and B.C. were swapped out moving forward in favor of "A.D." which is "Anno Domini," and means "in the year of our Lord."

The key to determining what year we're living in, with relation to Creation, is to figure out when Christ arrived as the Scripture tells us, then calculate for the Millennial Kingdom spoken of in Revelation 20.

If we check the Scripture in terms of when Christ arrived, the Book of Adam, tells us God promised to Adam that He (God) would arrive in the flesh 5500 years from the Fall. The Gospel of Nicodemus/Acts of Pontius Pilate tells us that the Jewish Pharisees counted the dates in Pontius Pilate's presence and confirmed that Christ did arrive 5500 years from then, as prophesied.

This means that the Year of the Wold, Anno Mundi, may be the most accurate way to determine our age. Going forward, see the below image, which is taken from, "A Chronicle of all the Noble Emperors of the Romans." This image of the text gives us the appropriate information to complete our calculations.

"Rome 722 years 'builded' before Octavius Reigned."

Here's what we have to go off:

NOTE: the first bullet point is the Anno Mundi scale (year 1 forward) and the second bullet point is B.C. and A.D. which history uses today (I don't subscribe to BCE or CE):

• From Creation, or year 1 Anno Mundi, to Christ is 5500 years.
• BC/AD: Creation is 5500 BC, and Christ's arrival is 1 AD.
• Octavius is reigning when Christ is born, which is a firm year of: 5500 Anno Mundi.
• BC/AD:  Octavius is reigning at Christ's birth, which is a firm year of: 1 AD.

Rome was built 722 years before Octavius reigned, as seen in the Chronicle, and shown in the image, above. Wikipedia says Gaius Octavius reigned from 27 BC - 14 AD, or about 40 years. If 1 AD is the birth of Christ which is also 5500 Anno Mundi, then there is an obvious timeline error. This is because Christ didn't die at 14 years of age, he died at 33 (some say 36, but the whole "Christ was born in the B.C. era!" and "Christ died at 36!" will be dismissed for this discussion).

Remember, Octavius was Emperor during Christ's whole life, and up to the Millennial Kingdom. Further, we know that no other Emperor reigned while Christ was living his 0-33 year life.

Using Christ's arrival and the Chronicle, we can calculate for the founding of Rome. This also proves the accuracy of the Book of Adam and Gospel of Nicodemus, and all other Scripture:

• 5500-722 = 4778 Anno Mundi, or the year Rome was roughly built.
• BC/AD: Rome is roughly dated to being built in 721 BC.
• If we give or take 33 years for Christ's age, Rome was built between 4745 to 4881 Anno Mundi.
• BC/AD: That is, Rome was built between 754 to 688 BC.

Now we go to Wikipedia to see what the historical narrative says regarding Rome's founding: Wikipedia says Rome was founded in 753 BC.

• This shows that by using Scripture, I've just been able to accurately declare a time window for the year Rome was founded, and was only 1 year off using Christ's age in conjunction with Octavius' reign.
•  It also proves that Truly, Christ did arrive 5500 years from Creation just as God promised to Adam, and just as the Pharisees calculated at the command of Pontius Pilate.

If we look at these quotes from the image of the Chronicle, above: "Octavius Emperor at the birth of Christ," and "[Octavius] reigned at the height of our Savior Christ. Then there was an universal peace over all the world," this means the Biblical Millennial Kingdom must have happened at that time.

Now, we need to roughly estimate what year we are living in today. 

Christ died in Anno Mundi 5533/ 33 AD, and let's say Christ came back at Anno Mundi 5540/ 40 AD (which accounts for Octavius' 40 years reign as said by wikipedia).

• The Millennial Kingdom lasts 1,000 years from the date of Christ's death.

For the Calculation, we use the date that roughly accounts for Octavius' reign, which was Anno Mundi 5540/ 40 AD.

5540 + 1000, or 40 + 1000, puts the end of Christ's Millennial Kingdom, and Satan's release at Anno Mundi 6540, or 1040 AD. Remember, this is the rough calculation and does not account for Christs 33 year life, so add or subtract 33 to calculate a window for the current year.

We can know that, in Truth, those numbers are the true numbers, to an extent. We also know that the world and all of Creation is at a minimum 6,500 years old (Because God told Adam in year 1 Anno Mundi that He would arrive in 5500 years, and Christ had a 1,000 year rule.)

Here's where things get really tricky!

The year we are living in, called "2020 AD" is a lie. It is not currently the year 2020. Because, if it were the year 2020 then Satan would have been ruling since 1040 AD and would have then now been ruling for 980 years. 

Do you think that the length of rule for which Satan is to be released, Satan's "little while," is going to be as long a rule as our Glorious Savior, Jesus Christ, Immanuel? I don't think that's what a "little while" means.

I think that Anno Mundi 6540/1040 AD (which was the end of the real historical timeline) may have been altered to become what we now know as 1500 AD (which is conveniently said to be when the dark ages officially ended) up to 1800 AD. My reason for this is because I think that what we call the "Dark Ages" was the period of Christ's rule, the Millennial Kingdom! And I come to this conclusion because the "Dark Ages" are said to be a period of about 1,000 years.

NOTE: For those still confused, our 1500 AD could very well be the year 1040 AD, or even the year 1700 could be the year 1040 AD.

If Christ had already had His Millennial Kingdom, and the knowledge and records of it have been stricken from history, then the naming of such a glorious and wonderful time being ruled by Christ as "Dark Ages," is exactly what Satan would do if he were given power to deceive the nations.

Calculating Christs Millennial Kingdom based off the Historical narrative's dating:

• If the Millennial Kingdom ended in 1500 AD, then we are in the year 7060 Anno Mundi.
• If it ended in 1800 AD, then we are in the year 6760 Anno Mundi.

The takeaway is this:

I would not be doing my duty if I didn't warn you: I think the First Heaven and First Earth will only exist for 7,000 years (and remember, "No one knows the day or the hour..." there is no mention of the year). Based on the arrival of Christ at 5500 years after Creation plus the Millennial Kingdom, then Creation is at least 6500 years old. Further, I think Satan has been in his season of rule for 300-400 years. As always, take of this knowledge how you will.

May the Holy Spirit of God-in-Christ bless you,

Logos Prevailing.
