John interlocks his dateline meters among his Gospel, then 1John, then Revelation, as a kind of history and time-accounting lesson, to set the theme of his text. This interlocking also served his readers to 'convert' between Adamic years, Christ's Age, the Roman AUC system, and Noahic/ Abrahamic fiscal years. For everyone was drooling over when the Rapture might occur based on Paul's 434 years of what-if-Rapture scenarios, in Ephesians 1:3-14.
So John's dateline meters interlock also with that Ephesians passage. Very shocking, very surprising, very helpful for both textual criticism and hermeneutics. For we see a) WHEN John wrote, and b) HOW he reconciles the differenet fiscal years all the way back to Adam. Helps a lot, to identify what timings Bible uses and why.
And oh my, our 'traditional' 4 BC BirthYear for Christ, turns out to be apt! Long before Dionysius, Bible reconciled BC/AD that way, since the Varronic Roman AUC is padded with four years that never existed. So Bible employs the following conversions: Adamic calendar in Bible minus 3 years equals Christ's age, to align his Birthday with the 1000th anniversary of David's United Kingship: He was born Chanukah, 4103 from Adam's fall, not initial creation, which is undated. Adamic year starts on autumnal equinox, so it's considered the START of 4103, so IN the 3rd week OF the 3rd month = Chanukah. Heh.
So use '4106', to convert to 'our' BC, i.e., subtract that number for any BC date you have, to get equivalent Adamic year. Then, to convert from Christ's age to Roman AUC which NT writers use, subtract 3 from Christ's age. Because, the Roman AUC is overpadded by 4 years, but Christ was born end of Roman year, hence 3. So if you've only got Roman AUC, add 3 years to get His Age. During Christmas week, add another '1'.
See the 'Matt2' video description in this channel, for the links demonstrating the Roman AUC's overstated: a problem known for centuries, but we forget about it, when we look at Bible!
John's meter tells you how to reconcile Bible Time from Adam through the Millennium, but he does it in meter. He interlocks his dateline meters in the Gospel, 1John, and Revelation to provide a comprehensive prophecy and history lesson for those Rapture droolers who were disappointed the Millennium didn't come, 7 years after the Temple went Down.
It will be impossible for me to cover all the meaning here, in video, so the initial DRAFT form of the JohnDatelineMeters doc is just lightly reviewed. It will change a lot over the coming months. Yet it's useful even now, as it a) summarizes the doctrine of How God Orchestrates Time (Preface), b) provides a comprehensive, up-to-date set of ALL links to related videos and supporting webpages/documents (first two pages), and c) provides a helpful explanation on how to convert our BC/AD into Bible years; for this is what the ancients also had to do. For us, the BC/AD chronology problem occurred when Dionysius Exiguus chopped off three years from the tally; but was he wrong to do that? Not necessarily: for Varro's Roman auc, pads four years that never existed, and our BC/AD is based first, on Varro. Aha.
Here are the links:
For the first two links, you'll need to freely download Bibleworks fonts, as I've not yet learned how to use their Unicode conversions. Fonts are here: bibleworks.com/fonts.html .
BEWARE: 1John and Revelation 'Meter Import' sections are very rought drafts; I've not even finished listing all the meters in 1John, and the descriptions in Rev are what first came to my mind, when creating the chart. So these two will be much changed. John's Gospel Meter Import section is almost in final form, but I'm sure John is writing the week of the Lord's 81st birthday (just before it occurs), and need to rerun the math to see if I can prove that. I might be wrong. Even so, the math works well if he writes September-December 77 AD. He didn't write, later than that. Nor did he write earlier, as you'll see in the meter descriptions.
The other sections of the document need to be polished, but the essential information is already typed. I don't know how much time I'll have for editing between now and October, but I'll try to edit and polish, every weekend. As I can, I'll make more videos as well, but frankly it's easier to read the document, than to watch any videos I'd make. Enjoy!
File Name: JohnMeter1Intro.avi, 2/25/14.
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 , or in JohnDatelineMeters.htm#Preface. Substitute doc or pdf if you want those versions.
This likewise dramatic video ends the survey with John, who also tags Mark and everyone else, proving his the last Gospel; he writes far earlier than 'scholars' parrot from ever-inept 'church fathers' who LIE against John every chance they get (see Church Father Hall of SHAME ). 2 and 3 John aren't yet been parsed.. Seriously: just FIRE anyone praising the 'church fathers' and go BIBLE ONLY, de novo and de repente.
* The Lord's Age is stated BLUNTLY, or as a formula based on His originally planned Death or Birth pre- or post-David. Often, meters interrelate all these three death dates and two birthdates, to track and reconcile them. Bible's Anno Domini reconciles with OT. Its BC/AD converter? 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, but 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 (Davidic deadline) or 4146 (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 meter 'tags' a past event in secular history, to parallel current time to the 'story' of that past event.
* At least one meter is dated in terms of years-to the Trib, Millennium, or a closely-related, forward countdown tracked since the OT.
In short, 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 know what formulas to 'test'. Dateline meter will often finish within first 1-3 verses of a chapter. If the last sevening is later, the passage is not merely a dateline, but rather 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's also good to download a worksheet that plots all the Bible years, so when you see Adamic meters, you what specific BIBLE dates are intended, as the worksheet was created solely from Bible's dates: GeneYrs.xls.
Verses used to create that worksheet are in brainout.net/brainoutFAQ.htm#6a .
That's a lot of material to review; given the accounting import, the time spent should be worthwhile. Whether God wants you to do that, is a private matter between Him and you. For once you see how bald these meters are, you know several important facts:
1. YES we really do have inerrant and infallible Word of God, as these meters are deliberate; so we know we have the real Words God Preserved (take THAT, you scurrilous KJVO people who pretend to read Hebrew and Greek but cannot);
2. YES we can know EXACTLY when Bible books were written (take THAT, you drooling Bible debunkers);
3. YES we know EXACTLY WHAT BOOKS ARE SCRIPTURE (take THAT, you brats who claim we needed some dippy Council of Nicaea or other popish incompetence, especially since those guys can't count to 3 or 14),
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 relevant (take THAT, you young earthers and others who divert Bible study into banalities),
5. YES we know BETTER how to INTERPRET Bible books, since the DATE OF WRITING is actually a complex relation-back and -forward CONCORDANCE, so we know CONTEXT the WRITER INTENDS.
In short, money on debates over these five topics, can stop being burnt. Of course, since a lowly brainout simply counted syllables to find this material, the finding will be disputed, as if a person FINDING a thing, was related to what got FOUND. For what got FOUND, is in Scripture: so ANYONE, degreed or no, can FIND it.
Harsh talk? You bet. For thousands of children from Moses forward learned Bible this way. So why don't we?
LukeDatelineMeters was updated after this video was made, to show ALL meters for ALL clauses, and the JohnDatelineMeters text for the 252 and 364 meters were corrected (still right, but the textual variants they referenced weren't clear, and now are). All were re-uploaded as pdf, doc, AND htm, links are in the video description.
Impact of John's Gospel textual variants on the meter, how you can know from the meter, what John actually wrote.

Impact of Revelation's textual variants on the meter, how you can know from the meter, what John actually wrote. If you used my earlier Revelation 1.doc or pdf, please stop using it. This video and the links below, correct and supercede, that older version.
This video focuses on what elements of the analysis are more trustworthy, and which are very speculative, yet resonable, so you can save time in analysis. Basically, the meters are obvious, very little to dispute. On the other hand, my interpretation of those meters, although reasonable for the most part, would be quite disputable. Talk to God about everything. I sure am, and am very skeptical of whatever I seem to think the meter means, constantly throwing stones at it. Auditing requires such skepticism.
Conversely, so much in the meter's meaning is obvious, given how John clearly plays on Paul, that to just reject it out of hand, is also unwarranted. But again, you'll have to talk to God about that. In all events, it's not about who does the reporting. It's about what the Word actually says.
This video continues to focus on what elements of the analysis are more trustworthy, and which are very speculative, yet resonable, so you can save time in analysis. Here, I quickly go through my 'interpretation' of the meter in John's Gospel. You'd need to read it for a fuller vetting (links below).

This video continues to focus on what elements of the analysis are more trustworthy, and which are very speculative, yet resonable, so you can save time in analysis. Here, I quickly go through my 'interpretation' of the meter in 1John and Rev, to show how baldly the meter 'talks back to' John's Gospel. You'd need to read it for a fuller vetting (links below). In particular, it's clear 1John tags Ephesians 1:5 and following, Paul's complex 'anaphora'; then, Rev piggybacks on the 1 John meter ending at 231 (which was Paul's anaphora meter total). But HOW does Revelation piggyback? Starting at what meter? The 70.. the 108.. or do you add each set of meter numbers (for Paul does that), to get the total years John 'tags' in Paul? I'm not sure yet. So I cover two alternative viable countings, in the last half of this long video. You might find other ideas better.

Now we get into the details: how does John play on his own meter? We start by comparing how 1Jn plays on John's Gospel meter. To see the play, one must analyse both the meter DOCTRINAL meaning, and TEXT. For you won't know you've parsed it rightly, if you don't have a puzzle-piece fit between the two. So this is to learn the Doctrine in the Meter, and to Audit what you think that meter is, all at once. Phenomenal stuff. If you have any doubts that God preserved His Word, this auditing will help dispel them. And in the process, alert you how to read BOTH John's Gospel, and 1John. Real shocker, actually.

Finishing up the overview on how John plays on his own meter, focusing now on the 80's, comparing how 1Jn plays on John's Gospel meter, but also.. Revelation. The next video, jm16, will focus on Revelation's meter -- and revise the meter -- how it interlaces with prior Bible books, since it's the last book of the Bible.

How 1John relates to Ephesians 1, showing more of the meter and textual ties between them.
Now we get into John's Revelation Meter. VERY revised, playing on Noah's year in Das Boot, Temple's 'year' of 364 years standing which Isaiah left in ellipsis between Isa53:10-11, Daniel 9's play on that same Year, Paul's play on the Year of Church -- ALL of them referencing the same 364 precendented in Noah, which I tried to piece together here: Noahic Flood Precedence for God's Orchestration of Time . Still working on all these ideas and how Bible writers actually use them; but at least here in Rev's meter, you can see the ties are deliberate.
Still on John's revised Revelation Meter, now getting into the submeters, to show how John plays on Noah's year in Das Boot, Temple's 'year' of 364 years standing which Isaiah left in ellipsis between Isa53:10-11, Daniel 9's play on that same Year, Paul's play on the Year of Church -- ALL of them referencing the same 364 precendented in Noah, which I tried to piece together here: Noahic Flood Precedence for God's Orchestration of Time .
