Ethnic Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians, Israelites, and Hyksos Ethnic Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians, Israelites, and Hyksos A comparative look at the peoples of the Nile and the Levant in the New Kingdom period (18th–19th Dynasties). Ethnic Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians The Egyptians of the New Kingdom (ca. 1550–1189 BC) were primarily a Northeast African population rooted in the Nile Valley. Their features reflected a mixture of indigenous Saharan, Nubian, and Nile Delta ancestry. Genetic studies of royal mummies and skeletal remains reveal a population connected to both Sub-Saharan Africa and the ancient Near East, consistent with Egypt’s geographic position as a crossroads of Africa and Asia. Royal families often intermarried with foreign princesses to cement alliances. For example, Amenhotep III married women from Mitanni and later Ramesses II married Hittite royalty. This resulted in foreign admixture at the highest levels of society, though the g...

The Revelation 12 Star Sign of 2017: A Heavenly Prophetic Marker? The Revelation 12 Star Sign of 2017: A Heavenly Prophetic Marker? Shalom, family. Thanks to the extensive escholotogy work by Brenda Weltner I learned something I want to share with you all. A sky event that stirred millions: what happened in 2017, and how does it connect to Scripture and prophecy? A Sky Full of Messages Since the beginning of time, human beings have looked up at the night sky and wondered: what do the stars mean? For many cultures, constellations were maps, calendars, and guides. But for the people of the Bible, the heavens weren’t just decorations — they were God’s canvas. Psalm 19:1 says it clearly: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” The idea that God can use the stars and planets to communicate isn’t fringe — it’s biblical. Genesis 1:14 states that God made the...

Time-Warp Model: Genesis Days → Cosmic Time Time-Warp Model — Genesis “Days” → Cosmic Time This page shows the fitted mathematical mapping we built to align the six Genesis “days” (as ordered epochs) with modern cosmic history. It preserves the biblical order while mapping each day to scientific waypoints (Earth formation, Cambrian, humans, etc.). The model (in plain language) We treat Genesis day index s (1 → 6) as the input and map it to cosmic time T(s) measured in Gigayears after the Big Bang . The mapping is monotonic and tunable so it preserves sequence while stretching/shrinking durations to match scientific anchors. Equation: T(s) = 13.8 · ( s^p / ( s^p + τ^p ) )   [Gyr after Big Bang] Best-fit parameters p ≈ 3.210   |   τ (tau) ≈ 1.87133758   |   Ymax = 13.8 Gyr Interpre...

  The Bible-Science Time Warp Model The Bible-Science Time Warp Model: Bridging Faith and Physics Shalom, family. One of the biggest debates of all time is the age of the Earth. Science says: Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, based on radiometric dating of rocks and meteorites. The Bible says: Humanity has been around for roughly 6,000 years, if you follow the Hebrew calendar and genealogies. At first glance, those numbers don’t even come close. But what if they’re both right—just looking at time through different lenses? That’s where the idea of a Bible-Science Time Warp Model comes in. What Is the Time Warp Model? The Time Warp Model is a way of thinking that says time may not flow the same everywhere . The Bible hints at this in verses like 2 Peter 3:8 , which says: “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” That’...

Rapture Date Theories — Flood, Hanukkah & Yom Teruah Three feast- and event-based theories people use to line prophecy up with the calendar. In End Times circles these are known as "high watch times"--seasons where significant prophetic events are expected to take place in the world. Flood Date Rapture Core: Tied to Genesis 7:11 — the 17th day of the 2nd month (Cheschvan) of the Hebrew civil year (Usually in November on our calendar). Why: Jesus said His coming will be like the “days of Noah” (Matt 24:37) — so some match the date. Typology: Noah entered the ark before judgment → church enters safety before tribulation. ⚠ Calendar matching is speculative; Hebrew calendar cycles make exact repeating dates problematic. Hanukkah Rapture ...
