This is not to address the main point of this piece. I am a fundamental Bible Christian; I believe Jesus Christ is Lord of All and expect to see Him fairly soon. But I am also capable of believing that God created a number of other EBE (Extraterrestrial Biologic Entities), including angels and the devil and his minions; and I don't see that as doing any violence to either the Word or my belief.
Bible scholars are all generally aware and in agreement that the Bible sets out a timeline that fits perfectly well with events in Genesis all the way back to around 4000 BC. Bishop Usher did this calculation with a pencil and came to 4004; Gerald Faustech (History and Christian Chronology Research); and another IBM computer jock (Tuckermann) have done a more professional and precise job than Usher did coming to essentially the same answers.
A material problem with this analysis which doesn't receive much attention is the Flood of Noah. The bible gives a relatively precise date--2344BC (+/- a year or two one way or the other) for Noah and the flood. Historical analysts generally accept the fact that there was some major event resulting in death and elimination of much of the population around that date--but not the kind of world wide death of everyone resulting in DNA of one man and his family as ancestor's of us all.
Those who study the issue have also heard about the Annunaki publicized by Elijah Sitchen who purportedly come from a tenth planet of our Solar System called Naburu (or Planet X); that planet has an extreme orbit that results in its crossing the plane of our solar system only once ever several thousand years.
Sitchen puts the orbit of Planet X at around 3600 years while admitting that he cannot put a single date to any single passage. Those who have studied his work and other sources think he was wrong.
The Sumerian tablets credit a passage event with dissolution of the Antartic ice cap causing the flood of Noah.
Conventional secular Anthropologists credit a similar event occurring at the Younger Dryas Boundary somewhere around 10700 BC to perhaps as early as 11200 BC. The tablets and other sources credit circumstances of the earlier event as also fitting the Bible description of the events of 2344 BC.
If you accept the Bible date for Noah at 2344; and further accept the proposition that no appearance of Planet X has been seen since, we are 4364-4365 years into an orbit period.
Working back from the flood of Noah, using 4365 +/-, accept a date around 6700 for Ballard's Black Sea inundation; and use a date of 11074 for the YDB event, you can see a planetary orbit cycle of Planet X of a little more than 4365 years if it arrives this year or next.
There is now a reference to the Navy Telescope in New Zealand having identified an interplanetary object inbound in January of this year so you might see the current Earth year, perhaps 2022 or 2023 as a year like the time of Noe as referenced by Jesus Christ.
It should also be noted that there are credible historical physical and cultural evidences of two flood survivor events in a wooden ark which landed, in one case on Mt. Arat and on the other in the mountains of Arat.
Finally, it isn't exactly clear what event Jesus is referring to as the "coming". Although there is argument about His descent in I Thess 4:16 vs. His return at the end of the Tribulation period, there is not much doubt that the I Thess 4:16-17 event in which believers are caught up together with them [the dead in Christ] is a return which we may be able to expect to occur in the near future.
This coming Friday, L. A. Marzulli is posting a free streaming video of most recent evidence. He’s one of the better veritable students of the subject from the perspective of Bible believing Christianity.
