The Roman calendar year is 2026.
The Jews proclaimed a New Year. They call the year from sunset September 11, 2026 to sunset October 1, 2027 is 5787 or 5787 AM (anno mundi).
However, the Jewish year claim confuses many people as the numbers do not add up with scripture.
How many years has it been since God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden?
Well, the Jewish calculation is off by 2 centuries–and their scholars admit to 165 years of that.
The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to these matters:
14:55Year 5787 or 5991 or 5995?
What biblical year is it? The Jews call the year that runs from sunset 11 September 2026 through sunset 1 October 2027 the year 5787. Supposedly that goes back to Genesis 1. Yet, Jewish scholars admit that the count most Jews use, which is in something called the ‘Seder Olam Rabbah’ is off by 164 or 165 years. Jewish tradition also teaches that the Messiah will come at the end of 6,000 years. Rabbi Mendel Kessin says that will be in the year 2240. But is that right, since Jewish scholars realize that the chronology in the ‘Seder Olam Rabbah’ does not agree with records of history? What if the 6,000 years ends over two centuries earlier? Did God have the Jewish Rabbi Akiva and others deliberately change the date chronology in the 2nd century A.D.? Or perhaps, as some have suggested, they changed the Jewish chronology because prophecies in the 9th chapter of the Book of Daniel pointed to Jesus being the Messiah and they did not want people to look to him, but instead to Simon Bar Kochba? Did that result in the death of over one million Jews? The Apostles Peter and Paul pointed to Jesus being around in the “last days.” If that was near the end of day 4 of 6 one thousand year day or the beginning of the 5th of those days, when would we expect the 6000 years to end, and Jesus to possibly occur, such as in 2031 or by 2035? Based on scriptures in the Old and New Testaments, as well as historical records, might it now be the year 5991 or even 5995? If Jesus was resurrected between A.D. 31-35, would that point to His return by 2035 if there is a 6,000 year plan? Dr. Thiel addresses these points in this video.
