An archive of brainout's vimeo video descriptions and playlists (to go along with the dumped videos in the event vimeo pulls them down with all of the playlists and text).
Just after Vespasian took the purple in December 69, Hebrews was written. That's a likely date for when Timothy was released from jail (in honor of the Saturnalia=Chanukah), given the policy of Emperors to pardon past political imprisonments of unpopular Emperors (here, that would be Nero). Either Mark and Luke were released prior, or just prior, or at the same time and Timothy was released just as the Book was completed. In any event, we can prove from the meter WHEN it was written. So this is a spinoff channel from RFG, to isolate the videos solely on the Book of Hebrews.
In the Year of the Four Emperors (which is yet another channel, lol), because Paul was executed, a slew of new Bible books came out to explain why and what would come next: 1 & 2 Peter, Jude, Mark's Gospel and then Book of Hebrews. Since there is so much needless debate about when these books were written, and since so much Bible misunderstanding results from not knowing when, it's important to document the proof of the WHEN. So this channel isolates the Book of Hebrews' dateline meter proof from the other books, but you kinda have to see them all together, to see how that proof really IS, proof.
Sorry this is so complicated. The channels containing videos on the other books which came out in the same Year of the Emperors are:
Peter, summer and fall AD 68: Peter Meters Time to Paul's Eph 1:3-14
Jude, just after Peter, maybe near end of 68: Jude's Meter
Mark, Passover AD 69: Mark's Gospel Proves Q Scholars Wrong
RFG channel (which includes the Peter and Jude videos): Royal Family of God
Year of the Four Emperors' related isagogics: Year of the Four Emperors
Stong implication, then, that either Mark or Luke wrote the Book of Hebrews. Maybe they did it jointly. Style similarities can be contended, especially with the wry sarcasm, but I can't yet prove whether either of them had written it, and of course the topic has been debated for centuries.
Long before we invented 'Anno Domini', Bible used it. This series examines NT Anno Domini Dateline Meter formulas, and how they are all precedented on the OT dating system from both Adam's Fall (not initial creation) and, as a countdown TO a planned Millennial start of 4200 after Adam's Fall. See Preface for orientation, brainout.net/LukeDatelineMeters.htm#Preface .
This rather dramatic video continues the survey with Hebrews, which builds its outline around the Gospel of Mark, thus proving more than ever that Mark's the THIRD Gospel, not Quelle or first. Dramatic, because it almost SCREAMS of Luke and Mark's authorship post Paul's death.
The Royal Family of God channel has those videos. But here, Hebrews also shows how all the NT dateline meters, have the following in common:
* The Lord's Age is stated BLUNTLY, or as a formula based on His originally planned Death or Birth pre- or post-David. Often, the meters will interrelate all these dates: three death dates and two birthdates, so to track and reconcile them. Bible's Anno Domini reconciliation with OT, its BC/AD converter, is the ORIGINAL planned Birthdate of 4106. Due to delay in David's crowning -- he was crowned on time, 1050 years after Abraham supermatured at age 100, not over ALL Israel until 7 years later -- Christ had to be born a net 3.5 years earlier (reflecting Temple's late start as well). So He dies in 4136, not 4143 (the Davidic deadline) or 4146 (the original 2100+2046 deadline from Abe's supermaturation). That TIMELINE SHIFT is not known in Christendom, but is tracked in Bible, as you'll see here.
* The ADAMIC YEAR of writing is somewhere stated as two ending numbers, much as we use '15' to mean '2015'.
* At least one of the meters 'tags' a past event in secular history, to parallel current time to the 'story' of that past event.
* At least one of the meters is dated in terms of years-to the Trib, Millennium, or a closely-related, forward countdown tracked since the OT.
In short, the meter formulas are predictable. So they are testable. Since often a chapter will have its own dateline meter (esp. in a serial book, like Acts, Isaiah and Daniel), then you can more quickly figure out what formula to 'test'. The dateline meter will often finish within the first 1-3 verses of a chapter. If the last sevening is later, it's not merely a dateline, but a plan-of-time passage (i.e., Ps90, Dan9, Eph 1:3-14, 1Pet1:1-12, etc).
Video's Doc used (first two pages): brainout.net/LukeDatelineMeters.pdf or doc or htm. For doc or htm you need Bibleworks fonts, freely downloadable at bibleworks.com/fonts.html . The columns in the htm won't align, so the numbers for the meters look 'wavy'. I'll fix that in the future. The smaller the font size used in your browser, the more the numbers 'straighten'.
It will also be helpful to download the worksheet which plots all the numbers, so when you see me refer to Adamic years, you can tell that the BIBLE's use of those specific years, are actually from BIBLE's own dates; for the worksheet was created solely from, the Bible's dates: brainout.net/GeneYrs.xls .
Verses used to create that worksheet are in brainout.net/brainoutFAQ.htm#6a .
It's a lot of material, but given the import of the accounting, it should be worth anyone's time to actually vet the material. Whether God wants you to do that, is a matter between you and Him. For once you see how bald these meters are, you know several important things:
1. YES we really do have the inerrant and infallible Word of God, because clearly these meters are deliberate so we know we have the real Words God Preserved (take THAT, you scurrilous KJVO people),
2. YES we can know EXACTLY when Bible books were written (take THAT, you scurrilious Bible debunkers),
3. YES we know EXACTLY WHAT BOOKS ARE SCRIPTURE (take THAT, you who claim we needed some dippy Council of Nicaea or other popish nonsense),
4. YES we know EXACTLY how long it was since Adam FELL, and YES the Bible does NOT say how old the earth is, as the issue isn't even relevant (take THAT, you young earthers and others who would divert the topic of Bible study to banalities),
5. YES we know BETTER how to actually INTERPRET the Bible books, since the DATE OF WRITING is turned into a complex relation-back and relation-forward CONCORDANCE with history and other Bible events, so we know the CONTEXT the WRITER INTENDS.
In short, a whole lot of wasted money on debates over the above five topics, can stop being wasted. Of course, since a lowly brainout simply counted syllables to find this, the finding will be disregarded, disputed, as if the credentials of the person FINDING something was relevant to what was FOUND. But what was FOUND, is in Scripture, so ANYONE, degreed or not, can FIND it.

Revised Book of Hebrews dateline meter. The ending 133 meter is still the same, but I screwed up the interim parsing when initially done, because back then I didn't recognize the cadence. So this video introduces the corrections, with explanations re variants and parsing methodology.
Revised doc still has the same name, and presently doesn't have any commentary, is only the text shown in video, brainout.net/Heb1v1-4.doc and brainout.net/Heb1v1-4.pdf . You need to download (the free) Bibleworks fonts to read the Greek, bibleworks.com/fonts.html . Thus you can reparse it as you please, with less effort.
Later videos will go through the significance of the meters, and the doc will contain that explanation too. For now, I just introduce some of the connections, not much explaining WHY I know the writer (CLEARLY NOT PAUL) wrote in late 69 or early 70 AD. The Temple was taken down in the final assault which began on Passover and ended on 9th Av, by Titus; this was written before that final assault began, at least by several months, probably the prior fall, so there would be enough time for the letter to circulate. This same close warning was done by Ezekiel for the Diaspora Jews, see his book. And also by Jeremiah, see Jeremiah and Lamentations. So the writer of Hebrews is playing the same God-given role as those two OT prophets.
Vespasian was sent to Jerusalem around 67 AD, so the armies had been surrounding Jerusalem for quite some time before the assault began. They were trying to negotiate a truce with the Jews, to keep Judea a commercial success, and keep invasion costs down. It didn't pan out. You can read Josephus on that, but be aware that Josephus is very bad at numbers: almost all his Bible numbers are perpetually wrong. So use his dates for anything else, also with caution.

Now we examine the 'tags' made on Hebrews, by 1 John. Just like with fingerprints, the more 'matches' you have, the more definite the 'tag'.

Numeric puns on 'middle'. John will do the same thing in his meter, clearly getting his pattern from Hebrews. So what's the deal with 'middle'? Daniel 9:27. The idea was, everyone expected the Temple to go down, Daniel 9:26, but due to Church, also expected that to herald the Tribulation's beginning. So downfall=desecration, hence a kind of pun about middle dates. So, the writer of Hebrews (not Paul, he was dead, Hebrews 13:23) uses a dateline which is 21 years from latest mid-Trib on the timeline pre-Church, dated also when the Lord's age was in the 'middle' of Age 70 and 77. All three dates: 70, 73, 77.. were plotted as what-if-Raptures by Paul in Ephesians 1:3-14.
Only this time, the Lord being 73: the Temple really does go down. Our year? 70AD. Get the pun?
