The Bible and Dates

The Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh, is a collection of Jewish texts that was written over centuries. The exact dates of the writing of the Hebrew Bible are not known, but scholars believe that the texts were written between the 12th and 2nd centuries The best documented date is circa 600 BCE. Before that time the books were oral stories. The Bible was written in three different ancient languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

The gospels were written in the following timeline:

• The Gospel of Mark: c. AD 66-70
• The Gospel of Matthew: c. AD 85-90
• The Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles: c. AD 85-90
• The Gospel of John: c. AD 90-110

All four gospels were written in Greek.

. The Bible does not provide a specific age for the Earth. However, some religious scholars interpret the Bible to suggest that the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old . It is important to note that this interpretation is not universally accepted.

Using the Bible, well-documented historical events, and some math, we find that the Flood began in 2348 BC.

What is interesting to me is the fact that the earliest written Sumerian Uniform Tablets were written circa 3000 BC and they documented a similar flood that occurred in antiquity (from their point of view). In addition, there are other events documented that mirror events described in the “old” Testament. Most of what has been translated from the tablets is considered by current-day authorities to be a myth, I wonder if in those times they were considered to be just a valid belief system not unlike what we have today.
