Okay, I've read this whole thing a few times and I have to admit that math was never my strong point. I follow your logic and trust your interpretation on the time spans of the periods (430, 480, etc.), but it seems to me that you would have to have the correct starting point for everything else to fall into place.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seemed to be the starting date:

How do you know the Egyptian bondage started in 1877bc? Or if I misread/misunderstood what is the date you use as a starting point?

Also, would the leap years play into the calculations over such a long period of time?

                                  I've mentioned earlier that the life spans and genealogy of the biblical patriarchs were actually calendar references. The biblical genealogies and monarchies are recorded from the time of Adam to Christ. The crucifixion is a known point of reference in history. Therefore, the genealogies and monarchies can be simply calculated back to the significant biblical event of the 430 years in Egypt as another reference point.


Leap years are not a problem because the calculations are in reference to the biblical or celestial clock; which require no adjustment for leap years. Below is a demonstration of the perfect mathematical alignment between the genealogy of four biblical patriarchs that lived during the time that ancient Israel spent in Egypt.     
  Levi 77 years in Egypt 
Kohath 133 years in Egypt 
Amram 137 years in Egypt 
Aaron 83 years in Egypt 
430 years total time

Is there a significance to the 4 generations or not?

Yes, absolutely this is significant! You will want to read Genesis chapter-15 where the Egyptian bondage was prophesied well in advance of the actual events.    


Genesis 15:13 
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed (descendants) shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

 
   
The advance message from God regarding the events which would occurred to Abram's descendants  is yet another consistent and re-occurring pattern which is demonstrated throughout the scriptures?   


Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.



Therefore, It is God's unchanging consistency which reinforces the concept that He will not carry out his plans until He first reveals them through His prophecies.


Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but (until) he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.



God's consistent and unchanging pattern of linking His prophesied events with precision to the celestial calendar, is in itself in direct opposition to those whom delight in proclaiming that “nobody can know WHEN” the prophesied events will occur.



John 14:27-29
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 



Those whom insist on promoting their religion of: “don't know, can't know”, identify themselves by their own statements, that they are not the children of light.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Palmtree,

In the event that you are wrong about your 2008-2012 timeline, would it be OK for us to place you in the category of False Prophet?  :confused:

It seems to me by our previous discussions that you have already placed me in that category.. So, is there any love lost?

, I'm asking your permission to call you a False Prophet if you are wrong about your end times timeline. Fair enough?   

Why would you need permission??
