Furthermore, this calendar is the very one which has descended to us, after more than six thousand years,
unfortunately with awkward alterations in the length of the months, but for these alterations the Egyptians
were not responsible."
The calendar we use today was devised two-hundred thirty-seven years before the Earth was created if we
want to accept the Bible dates. However, Archbishop Ussher (1581-1656 A.D.) figured out much of the Bible
chronology and dated certain events by it. The dates, therefore, are not actually scriptural, but man-made.
Certain Fundamental Christian groups believe the world was really created on October 23, 4004 B.C. The
question that immediately comes up is: 'What was going on the day before, October 22nd? If the world hadn't
been created yet, there couldn't have been an October, since that month was devised by man many years later!
"Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon
the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire." (Psalms 104:3-4). Again
there is a cross-reference to II Kings 2:11.
"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in
the holy place." (Psalms 68:17).
There are cross-references here to II Kings 6:16-17, already quoted. Daniel 7:9-10; Hebrews 12:20-22;
Deuteronomy 33 are also referred to.
"I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow,
and the hair of his head was like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning
fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him (and ten
thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set and the books were opened." (Daniel
7:9-10).
Daniel and all the other prophets saw great fiery objects come down from the heavens and they con-versed
with tremendous numbers of celestial beings who emerged from these objects--these beings instructed the
prophets in the beauteous laws of love. More will be said about Daniel in The Remnant. A colossal program of
aid, comfort and instruction was instituted with The Prophets. Of course, the Bible account is somewhat
confused due to the many translations and alterations, and in some cases the deliberate attempt to cover up the
truth in order to keep the mass of people "ignorant". However, people who know the truth are not dependent
upon theological dogma or doctrine to "save them" or make them free: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free."
"For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall
be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake: But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to
an innumerable company of angels." (Hebrews 12:20-22).
"As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth
them on her wings: So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him." (Deuteronomy
32:11).
"And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran,
and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law (fire of law) for them."
(Deuteronomy 33:1-2).
All the foregoing seems to point to a great company of angels, or heavenly host, who had descended to Earth
to give Moses and his people specific information, and they warned Moses and the people not to come near as
