Rabbi Thiel corrects the Jews who don't even know their own scriptures.
The Temple Institute had the following in its latest newsletter:“See now that it is I! I am the One”(Deuteronomy 32:39)Tishrei 9, 5782 …New Moon Over Israel Marking The New Year Of 5782! … The new year of 5782 is off to a great start …5782 is supposedly how many years ago Adam was created (the Jews call it 5782 anno mundi, for ‘years of the world’). That is wrong.No, Temple Institute, it is NOT the year 5782.The Jewish year claim confuses many people as the numbers do not add up with scripture.
....blah blah blah

The Rabbi Amos continues...
"While I do not agree with all that is asserted in the above, the author is correct that the dating issue with the Jews seemed to be deliberate. Consider also the following prophecy:4 … Their lies lead them astray, Lies which their fathers followed. (Amos 2:4)4 … And their lies have caused them to err, After which their fathers did walk. (Amos 2:4, JPS)4 … their lies caused them to fall into error and live the way their ancestors did. (Amos 2:4, CJB)Many peoples have chosen to rely on lies, sometimes called tradition (though not all traditions are based on lies), instead of acting on the truth.It Jews would accept the truth over tradition, they also would realize that Jesus is the Messiah. For details, check out the first three chapters of the free online book: Proof Jesus is the Messiah."
(Note: A simple "Why don't the Jews accept Jesus as Messiah" search will make why this is so plain)
The Rabbi continues...
"It is not just the Jews that misunderstand years. Related to a period that some, like the Messianic Protestant Jonathan Cahn, say that starting sunset September 6, 2021, we entered a Shemitah year and this supposedly has prophetic implications. "
(Note: Does Rabbi Thiel need a refresher on New Testament thoughts on getting twisted up in genealogies as if he could know? )
8This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people. 9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless. 10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,…Titus 3:9
Alas, Rabbi Thiel dives into the numbers, which of course, by his own admission at the end of his article, he admits...
"Yet, because that years of life are not exact (few people are born and die on the precisely same calendar date–hence there could possibly be 10 or so additional years)""As far as the years go, here is some of the biblical genealogy for the first portion from Genesis 5 (last verse from Genesis 7):3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh.9 Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.12 Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel.15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared.18 Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch.21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.25 Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. 2628 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and had a son. 29 And he called his name Noah…7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. NKJV.Added up, this equals 1656 years (so, some might call this 1656 anno mundi, 1656 AM, 1656 ‘years of the world’). This would mean that the flood was about 4,345 years ago.Now, here is the next portion of genealogies from Genesis 11:10 This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.12 Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah.14 Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.18 Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.22 Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.26 Now Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.32 So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.Added up, this equals 427 years (2+35+30+34+30+32+30+29+205=427), so 2083 Anno Mundi. The age of Terah when Abraham was born has also been debated (see section later called The Age of Terah at the Time of Abram’s Birth), though is not part of the above calculation.Galatians 3:17 shows 430 years; while 1 Kings 6:1 shows 480 years from the exodus from Egypt to the fourth year of Solomon’s reign (this, by the way, would make the Exodus as occurring in 1446 B.C., which is 966 + 480;For more details see When was the Exodus?).
(Note: It never happened as advertised so when it never happened as advertised is moot)
Rabbi Thiel sums it all up...
"Therefore, if we add up 1,656 + 427 + 24 + 430 + 480 + 966, this suggests...
Waffle Alert!
Whoa! Wait a Minute! "Suggests"? I thought this was the definitive proof that the year 5782 is for sure WRONG!?
"...the creation of Adam or his departure from Eden was around 3983 BC. Yet, because that years of life are not exact (few people are born and die on the precisely same calendar date–hence there could possibly be 10 or so additional years), this could be off somewhat–but it does give a biblical indication of when the end is coming."
(Note: "Is the New Testament correct in asserting?...
