Today (Crēěm) is the second Yom (or "time period") of my year (although Crēěm is the fourth of the seven yoms in a week), Anreu 2nd in the year 7703 YY. In order for You to follow me and understand the dates You see here, i should probably explain what the designations are and what they mean.
i do not count "days" as most people do. The reason for not doing so is that i Live by a different orientation regarding the ~ 24 time period. Most people think of a "day" as beginning with dawn or, in our current Western, American culture with midnight (12:00 AM). However, i count the ~ 24 time period progression on my calendar the way that YHWH (Blessed be His Holy Name) counts it: by periods of time that begin with the evening (the appearance of stars in the heavens) and run through the following day until the next evening. In other words, an evening and a morning - just as described in the book of Genesis. Therefore, i find the word "day" not really a good term to use, since most people are conditioned to think of a "day" as the morning followed by the night. Therefore, i use the Hebrew word "yom" (literally: a period of time) instead of "day." This subtle change in terminology helps prevent me from agreeing with the world in the orientation of time & space and reminds me that Abba begins with the evening (and night) and then includes the morning (and day).
"Crēěm" begins on what most people would call "Tuesday" evening and finishes on what most people would call "Wednesday" afternoon, and "Crē" is short for "creation." As the fourth yom of the week of seven yoms, the number "4" in scriptural numerology indicates "creation," such as the four seasons, four directions, etc. Anreu is the first month (corresponding to the Jewish "Nisan" or "Nissan," and Anreu derives from Andrew-Reuben. The current year (7703) comes from the symbolic calculation of 5771 (the Jewish Year #) + 165 (a reference to the "missing years" in the Hebrew calendar) + 1000 (symbolizing both the billions of years involved in the creation of the universe before the Genesis account picks up the earth-creation narrative as well as also the billions of years encompassed in at least some of the "yoms" (or "periods of time") in the actual Genesis creation narrative) + 767 (symbolizing the unknown amount of time Adam & Eve spent in the garden before missing the mark and going their own way (or "sinning") apart from the LORD Most High). When You add 5771+165+1000+767, You get 7703. The designation "YY" stands for "YHWH Year" - Blessed be His Holy Name. i believe the universe (and, therefore, the earth) are billions of years old and that people are much older than 7000+ years, but i also believe that has absolutely no effect on the veracity, validity, or legitimacy of the Scriptural text (but that's for another time & place). Given all of this, i refer to years as YY, because YHWH (Blessed be His Holy Name) is behind all of it and the only "One" Who knows the Truth about the age of the universe, the earth, or anything involving creation.
In conclusion, the "date" of toyom (or "today," to most people) for this particular post might be more easily read as "Crēěm, Anreu 2nd, 7703 YY."
This calendar year, i am attempting to post a daily Scripture reading here to help me read through the entire Bible in one year from a chronological perspective. This is the Chronological Scripture Reading for Yom #2 on Crēěm, Anreu 2nd, 7703 YY - Genesis 5:1 thru 6:22...
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God's likeness. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 3 Adam lived one hundred thirty years, and became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Shet. 4 The days of Adam after he became the father of Shet were eight hundred years, and he became the father of sons and daughters. 5 All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty years, then he died. 6 Shet lived one hundred five years, and became the father of Enosh. 7 Shet lived after he became the father of Enosh eight hundred seven years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 8 All the days of Shet were nine hundred twelve years, then he died. 9 Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan.10 Enosh lived after he became the father of Kenan, eight hundred fifteen years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 11 All the days of Enosh were nine hundred five years, then he died. 12 Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalal'el. 13 Kenan lived after he became the father of Mahalal'el eight hundred forty years, and became the father of sons and daughters 14 and all the days of Kenan were nine hundred ten years, then he died. 15 Mahalal'el lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Yered. 16 Mahalal'el lived after he became the father of Yered eight hundred thirty years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 17 All the days of Mahalal'el were eight hundred ninety-five years, then he died. 18 Yered lived one hundred sixty-two years, and became the father of Hanokh. 19 Yered lived after he became the father of Hanokh eight hundred years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 20 All the days of Yered were nine hundred sixty-two years, then he died. 21 Hanokh lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Metushelach. 22 Hanokh walked with God after he became the father of Metushelach three hundred years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 23 all the days of Hanokh were three hundred sixty-five years. 24 Hanokh walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. 25 Metushelach lived one hundred eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamekh. 26Metushelach lived after he became the father of Lamekh seven hundred eighty-two years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 27 All the days of Metushelach were nine hundred sixty-nine years, then he died. 28 Lamekh lived one hundred eighty-two years, and became the father of a son, 29 and he named him Noach, saying, "This same will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed." 30 Lamekh lived after he became the father of Noach five hundred ninety-five years, and became the father of sons and daughters. 31 All the days of Lamekh were seven hundred seventy-seven years, then he died. 32 Noach was five hundred years old, and Noach became the father of Shem, Ham, and Yefet.
Genesis 6 Sons of God and Daughters of Men
Genesis 6:1 When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. 3 And the Lord said, "My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years." 4 The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterwards, when the sons of God came to the daughters of man, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.
Judgment Decreed
5 When the Lord saw that man's wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time, 6 the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 Then the Lord said, "I will wipe off the face of the earth: man, whom I created, together with the animals, creatures that crawl, and birds of the sky-for I regret that I made them."8 Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
God Warns Noah
9 These are the family records of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his contemporaries; Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12God saw how corrupt the earth was, for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth. 13 Then God said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; therefore I am going to destroy them along with the earth. 14 "Make yourself an ark of gofer wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside. 15 This is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. 16 You are to make a roof, finishing [the sides of the ark] to within 18 inches [of the roof.] You are to put a door in the side of the ark. Make it with lower, middle, and upper [decks]. 17"Understand that I am bringing a deluge-floodwaters on the earth to destroy all flesh under heaven with the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will die. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark with your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives. 19 You are also to bring into the ark two of every living thing of all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of everything-from the birds according to their kinds, from the livestock according to their kinds, and from every animal that crawls on the ground according to its kind-will come to you so that you can keep them alive. 21 Take with you every kind of food that is eaten; gather it as food for you and for them." 22And Noah did this. He did everything that God had commanded him.x
