Analysis of Matsya Avatar & Noahs Ark 4,000 years ago

[KALKI]

BASED ON BIBLICAL SOURCES ALONE, MY ANALYSIS OF THE GREAT FLOOD...HOW DOES MATSYA FIT INTO ALL THIS??

(requested by few, feel free to share)

Matsya is described to have rescued the first man, Manu, from the great floods!

This is similar to the biblical story of Noahs ark.

Obviously Manu's Vedic version happen long before Christianity existed.

The aim of this post is to study the time scales.

First we will examine biblical sources, later vedic.

When I have time I will create these into slides.

KEY POINTS:

• Jesus was born 2,000 years ago
• Biblical sources claim the world is: 6010 years old (see below for "Method Two")
• Science states: World is: 4.5 billion years old
• Vedas state: World is: 4.32 billion years old

Humans Populated the Entire World. After more than 1600 years of habitation on Earth, the planet's population was surely large (millions or billions). The Bible confirms that (a) Man had multiplied upon the face of the Earth (Genesis 6:1), (b) Violence and corruption filled the Earth (Genesis 6:11-12). The Bible is clear that man could not have existed only in the Mesopotamian region—a region too small to support such a large population, especially considering the natural dispersion affect of a violent society.

talked with Methuselah 98 years* lived after the flood 502 years

7.Eber or Heber (great-grandson of Shem) lived 464 years
knew both Noah and Shem

8.Terah (3 x great grandson of Eber) lived 205 years

Heber outlives Abraham by 4 years

10.Isaac (son of Abraham and Sarah) lived 180 years. Knew Shem (son of Noah) 50 years

11.Jacob (called Israel and son of Isaac and father of the 12 tribes) . Lived 147 years. Knew Abraham 20 years

12.Levi (3rd oldest son of Israel – Jacob) Knew Isaac about 45 years

Great grandfather of Moses
Levi passed on the oral history to his grandson Amran

13.Moses (son of Amran son of Kohath son of Levi) Lived 120 years
Brother of Aaron who knew their father approx. 65 years
Moses receives the Oral Tradition from God and is commanded to write the first 5 books of the Old Testament."And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated." (Deuteronomy 34:7) http://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/34-7.htm
Moses lived: 1393-1273 BCE***

Moses existence (confirmation):
14. Joshua lived: 1356-1245 BCE (Joshua 1:1) http://biblehub.com/joshua/1-1.htm | Joshua lived to be 110 years old (Joshua 24:29) http://biblehub.com/joshua/24-29.htm (6th century BCE)

"Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,"
15. "Sometime after Joshua had died, the Israelis asked the LORD, "Who is to lead us against the Canaanites in our opening attack against them?" http://biblehub.com/judges/1-1.htm 8th century BCE

Followed by: Ruth, Samuel , Saul , David , Solomon 970–931*BCE | Rehoboam (son of Solomon) 931 - 913 BCE | Abijah of Judah (son of Rehoboam) 911 BC


METHOD TWO:

Another way to go about this is by adding the generation gap between Adam and Noah, which many people tend to do.

1. Adam 930 lived years
2. Seth 912 lived years
3. Enosh 905 lived years
4. Cainan 910 lived years
5. Mahalalel 895 lived years
6. Jared 962 lived years
7. Enoch 365 lived years
8. Methuselah 969 lived years
9. Lamech 777 (Noahs father) lived years
10. Noah 950 lived years

If we take the above figures (at face value) we reach a figure of: 8,575

E.G. 930 + 912 + 905 + 910 + 895 + 962 + 365 + 969 +777 + 950 = 8,575 years

What does this mean?

Seth for example, Adam's 3rd son lived 912 years
Seth knew Noah for 34 years before he died

.Methuselah (4th great grandson of Seth) lived 969 years
Methuselah knew Adam 243 years. Methuselah knew Seth 355 years

WE DO NOT COUNT THE AGE OF SETH AND MANY OTHERS.

For example:

If a father has 6 sons, and each son died aged 56

6 (sons) x 56 = 336

Did the father live to be 336? No.

An apologist will count every offspring (for each generation) to reach a figure of 8,000 or so.

This would place Adam on earth around 9,000 max or so.

Identify key players only.


HINDUISM = MATSYA AVATAR:

This portion is straight forward, no need to dig into scriptures or timelines..Regardless, I have added a few verses below.

• Satyayug or Krityug = 17,28,000 human years
• Tretayug = 12,96,000 human years
• Dwaparyug = 8,64,000 human years
• Kaliyug = 4,32,000 human years

Many will say: Noahs ark and Matsya avatar share and came from the same source...(hit that pause button!) Hinduism is far older.

Kaliyug began right after the end of the Mahabharat war with King Parikshit (son of Abhimanyu and Uttara) as the new ruler (5,000 years ago).

Matsya avatar took place in Satya yuga. This is where the legend originates. Now, whether you decide to call it a myth or not, the fact remains..The legend is far older.

If "Satya yuga" was 17,28,000 human years in length. then simple common sense dictates "Noah" did not exist at this point Nor is Adam that old.

Again, without any scriptural verses , by simply qutoing the 4 yugas, this refutes any line of questioning.

The 4 yugas are heavily mentioned throughout (almost) every major vedic text, including the Bhagavad Gita.

"By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together is the duration of Brahma's one day. And such also is the duration of his night"

https://asitis.com/8/17.html

PURPORT

The duration of the material universe is limited. It is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahma, and one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas or ages: Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Treta-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvapara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahma, the creator god, and the same number comprise one night. Brahma lives one hundred of such "years" and then dies. These "hundred years" by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 million earth years. By these calculations the life of Brahma seems fantastic and interminable, but from the viewpoint of eternity it is as brief as a lightning flash. In the causal ocean there are innumerable Brahmas rising and disappearing like bubbles in the Atlantic. Brahma and his creation are all part of the material universe, and therefore they are in constant flux.

Secondary translation:

BG 8.17: One day of Brahma (kalp) lasts a thousand cycles of the four ages (mahā yug) and his night also extends for the same span of time. The wise who know this understand the reality about day and night.

https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/8/verse/17


Srimad Bhagavatam:

"At the end of every four yugas, the great saintly persons, upon seeing that the eternal occupational duties of mankind have been misused, reestablish the principles of religion."

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/8/14/4/

PURPORT

In this verse, the words dharmaḥ and sanātanaḥ are very important. Sanātana means “eternal,” and dharma means “occupational duties.” From Satya-yuga to Kali-yuga, the principles of religion and occupational duty gradually deteriorate. In Satya-yuga, the religious principles are observed in full, without deviation. In Tretā-yuga, however, these principles are somewhat neglected, and only three fourths of the religious duties continue. In Dvāpara-yuga only half of the religious principles continue, and in Kali-yuga only one fourth of the religious principles, which gradually disappear. At the end of Kali-yuga, the principles of religion, or the occupational duties of humanity, are almost lost. Indeed, in this Kali-yuga we have passed through only five thousand years, yet the decline of sanātana-dharma is very prominent. The duty of saintly persons, therefore, is to take up seriously the cause of sanātana-dharma and try to reestablish it for the benefit of the entire human society.

Jesus' genealogy can be found at two places in the Bible:
1. Matthew's gospel (Mat 1:2-16). Starts with Abraham and lists his descendants all the way down to Jesus. There are 41 generations in total, divided into 3 sections as follows:


1. Abraham - David (from Abraham to David)
2. David - Josias (from David until the carrying away into Babylon)
3. Jechonias - Jesus (from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ)

Each section contains 14 generations. Note, that David is counted twice: Once at the end of the first section, then once again at the beginning of the second section. This explains how 41 generations are divided equally into three. See Mat 1:17 for further explanation.


2.Luke's gospel (Luk 3:23-38). This genealogy starts with Jesus and follows his line up until God. There are 77 generations mentioned in total.

In each of the two genealogies every name is different up until David with the exception of Joseph, Zorobabel and Salathiel. Therefore it is practically impossible to reconcile them by matching the persons and say, they are just listed by their different names (as we've seen many times before in the Bible). This suggests that the two genealogies do not trace the same lineage.

Since you can trace a person's ancestors through their father, and also through their mother (and the two genealogies should naturally be different) it is easy to come to the conclusion that one of the two genealogies in the gospels must list Jesus' ancestors through his "father", while the other one lists them through his mother.

Matthew's genealogy
Jesus was called the "son of David" in Mat 1:1, which is a clear reference to his right to inherit David's throne.

In 2Sam 7:12-17 God tells David (through the prophet Nathan) that David's kingdom would remain forever and his royal line would go through the son who would build the temple or as it is also called, the house of God. This son of David is Solomon, as we can read in 1Chr 22:7-10.

Only Matthew's genealogy mentions Solomon (Salmon) as well as the following kings after him, therefore we can see that this is the "royal line" and it shows the legal right to David's throne being passed down all the way to Joseph who adopted Jesus, thus making him the heir of David's kingdom.

Since the right to the kingdom always passes from the father to the son, we can conclude that Matthew's genealogy lists Jesus' ancestors through his "father", Joseph.

Luke's genealogy
Based on the previous facts, Luke's genealogy must list Jesus' ancestors through his mother:

Jesus was the natural son of Mary, who conceived by the Holy Ghost and therefore He becomes the Son of God (Luk 1:34-35). Considering the fact that by the Jewish tradition women are never listed in the genealogical links, it is acceptable that Luke lists Joseph instead of Mary (as he was the "father" of Jesus) and thus Luke names Joseph as son of Heli. Further, since Heli had no sons but only daughters, we can find a precedent of the same type of name substitution in Num 27:1-11 and Num 36:1-12.

Reading through Luke's genealogy, we can see how Jesus, through his blood relationship with his mother and her ancestors, becomes the true son of God.

[KALKI]

Some people have calculated that there were 4000 years from creation to the birth of Jesus. This would mean that 2000 A.D. placed us 6000 years after creation. Using the 7 day week as a template, and a day equaling a thousand years to God (2 Peter 3:8), this would seem to indicate six thousand years for man to inhabit earth, to be followed by a sabbath of 1000 years during the millennial reign of Christ.

This tends to focus great significance to the start of the 3rd millennium after the birth of Christ. A question then arises. Who formulated the current calendar, and how accurate were they? When would the 3rd millennium actually begin?

Dionysius Exiguus

In 525 A.D. a Sythian monk in Rome, Dionysius Exiguus (Dionysius the Little), was preparing new tables for determining the date of Easter, and he decided to abandon the pagan calendar in use at the time, that was based on the first year of the reign of Emperor Diocletian (29 Aug., 284). Instead he began a calendar based on his calculated year of the birth of Jesus Christ. Among the biblical data Dionysius had to work with was the following:

Luke 3:1 - Jesus was baptized in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius
Luke 3:23 says Jesus was about 30 years old at the start of his ministry, His baptism.*

Using this and other data available to him, he calculated the probable year of Jesus birth as occurring in the 753rd since the founding of the Roman empire, which he redesignated the year 1. This method of dating the year was not generally accepted for hundreds of years, but has been nearly universally adopted today.

* It can be demonstrated from the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9 that the baptism of Jesus occurred in 27 A.D., which would place His birth about or before 3 B.C.

Was 2000 A.D. really the 2000th year since the birth of Christ?

Just about everyone knows that the year 2000 A.D. (Anno Domini) was supposed to indicate the number of years since the birth of Jesus Christ. But was Dionysius accurate in his calculations? In the book of Matthew we have an important bit of information:


Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus tells us that Herod died shortly after an eclipse of the moon (Antiquities of the Jews, Book XVII, Chapter VI, end of 4th paragraph), but prior to Passover (Wars of the Jews, Book II, Chapter I, paragraph 3.). This is an extremely important bit of information, because astronomers today know that there were eclipses of the moon on the following dates:
•A total eclipse on March 23rd, 5 BC at 8.52 pm.
•A partial eclipse on March 13th, 4 BC at 4.04 am.
•A total eclipse on January 10th, 1 BC at 1.35 am.

Historians have determined, on this and other evidence, that King Herod apparently died in the Spring of what we now call 4 B.C. (Julian year 4710), probably early in the Jewish month of Nisan (April), after the partial eclipse of the moon occurring on March 13th, 4 B.C. If you will recall, Herod lived long enough after Jesus' birth to order the slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem, in an attempt to murder Jesus-


Mat 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

This would suggest that Jesus was born in either 5 or 6 B.C., as Herod set an upper age limit of 2 years for the infants to be slain. So, on this evidence alone, the current method of numbering the years since the birth of Jesus is in error by at least 4 years, and perhaps as much as 5 years. So if we were to correct for this error, 1996 would more accurately be numbered as no less than 2000 A.D., although even this may be off by as much as a year or so. In any case the year 2000 (as we are currently counting) was clearly not exactly 2000 years from the birth of Christ.

Even if the calendar of today were accurate, the true 3rd millennium did not begin until Jan. 1st, 2001 due to the fact that there was no year 0 -
•1-100 is the first century
•101-200 is the second century
•---
•1901-2000 is the 20th century
•1-1000 is the first millennium
•1001-2000 is the second millennium
•2001-3000 is the third millennium

But now, figuring that Jesus was born in 5 B.C. this would be adjusted as follows:
•5 B.C.-996 A.D. is the first millennium
•997-1996 is the second millennium
•1997-2996 is the third millennium

So, no matter how you look at it, the year 2000 A.D. was really meaningless, because the current calendar is clearly in error. So interestingly enough, based on the best available evidence, 1997 may have actually marked the end of the 2000th year since the birth of Jesus Christ and the beginning of the 3rd millennium!

'Jesus was born in June', astronomers claim

Astronomers have calculated that Christmas should be in June, by charting the appearance of the 'Christmas star' which the Bible says led the three Wise Men to Jesus.


They found that a bright star which appeared over Bethlehem 2,000 years ago pinpointed the date of Christ's birth as June 17 rather than December 25.


The researchers claim the 'Christmas star' was most likely a magnificent conjunction of the planets Venus and Jupiter, which were so close together they would have shone unusually brightly as a single "beacon of light" which appeared suddenly.


If the team is correct, it would mean Jesus was a Gemini, not a Capricorn as previously believed.


Australian astronomer Dave Reneke used complex computer software to chart the exact positions of all celestial bodies and map the night sky as it would have appeared over the Holy Land more than 2,000 years ago.


It revealed a spectacular astronomical event around the time of Jesus's birth.

[KALKI]

All the Mountains Were Covered. The tops of all the high mountains under the entire heavens were at least 20 feet beneath the waters surface (Genesis 7:19-20). It would be absurd to think that a flood covering the highest mountains of the Middle East would not affect the rest of the world. In addition, the waters remained at this awesome, mountain-covering height for five months! (Genesis 7:18-24, 8:1-5).


All Humans Were Killed. The Bible clearly teaches that all flesh died…every man (Genesis 7:21). Genesis 9:1 confirms that only Noah's family was saved and that every person living today is descended from his family.


5.All Air-Breathing, Land Animals Killed. The world's entire population of air-breathing, land animals died, except those taken into the ark (Genesis 7:21) - “everything on Earth” (Genesis 6:17) - "all living creatures of every kind on the Earth" (Genesis 9:16). If only those animals in a specific geographic location died, it would seem unnecessary for God to protect pairs in the ark for the express purpose of preventing their extinction. Surely there would be representatives of their kinds in other areas. If, on the other hand, there were some unique kinds of animals in the local flood's path, then it would seem more logical for God to send representative pairs out of the area, rather than to the ark, as He did. The Bible is clear that all the air-breathing, land animals perished during the flood, except those preserved with Noah - from which all modern animals are descended.


6.A “Cataclysm,” Not a Mere Flood. Both Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) use words to describe Noah's flood which are different than the ordinary words for flood. In this way, Noah's flood was represented as a totally unique occurrence. [Hebrew: “Mabbool” / Greek: “Kataklusmos” (cataclysm)].


7.God’s Rainbow Promise. God promised never again to send a global flood (Genesis 8:21, 9:8-17). This promise is demonstrated by the symbol of the rainbow, a sign for God's promise to all the Earth. The rainbow is a sign to every living creature, mankind and animals. If this promise was not made to all creatures on Earth, then God has broken His promise. Local floods have repeatedly killed hundreds and even thousands of humans and animals since Noah's time.


8.Why Stay in the Ark a Year?! Noah was in the ark for more than a year, not just 40 days (Genesis 8:14). 53 weeks is absurdly long to stay in the ark for a local flood, since dry land would have been just over the horizon. After the flood waters had been going down for 4 months, the dove could still find no suitable ground (Genesis 8:9). This does not seem to fit the circumstances for a local flood in which the dove could fly to dry land. However, these situations are consistent if the Flood was global.


9.The Whole Earth Was Devastated. God said, "I am surely going to destroy both them (the people) and the Earth" (Genesis 6:13b). The global extent of the Flood is referred to more than 30 times in Genesis 6-9 alone! In Isaiah 54:9, God states, "I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the Earth." Peter delivered a clear global warning, confirming that God created the Earth, devastated it by the Flood, and will one day destroy it again by fire (2 Peter 3:5-7). Peter certainly did not mean that just a local area on Earth would be burned. Just as the Flood was global, so will be the final judgment.

Well researched post!!

If the ark was 4,000 years ago , would that explain the Harappan floods?

The Indus civilisation is also known as the Harappan Civilisation, after its type site, Harappa, the first of its sites to be excavated early in the 20th century in what was then the Punjab province of British India and now is Pakistan.[9][e] The discovery of Harappa and soon afterwards Mohenjo-daro was the culmination of work beginning in 1861 with the founding of the Archaeological Survey of India during the British Raj
