POINT OF VIEW. 1. The following pages are written in the conviction that the Bible has God for itsauthor, a conviction amply justified by the facts brought forward in Part III of this work. 2. As the book of God the only error the Bible may contain is that of copyist, printer,or translator.
Mr. Panins efforts of over 40,000 separate pages of written reference andresearch work form the basis of it.
In Part III, it will be noted that he even created his ownvocabulary and concordance.
I possess theold turned-brown paperback book, which has no copyright on it, and was personally gifted to meby the late Dr.
Ernest L. Martin (1932-2002) years ago.
As for my own involvement, I thank God for the computer and its assistance for makingextremely difficult work practical.
In reproducing Panins work by Hoyer, no changes weremade in the text other than where minor errors occurred (because of being re-formatted forvarious purposes, errors concerning page references are still present).
A lined grid format was added for easier location and reading.
Though thisproduction was edited and proofed over five times, minor errors may still exist.
Regardless of my effots,if errors are found, please point them out so they may be corrected.
In addition to Bible Chronology, Mr.
Panin produced a New Testament version based on hisconcordance and numeric method.
Many other writings of his may also be found on the Internet.
Works of this nature, being so large and technical, are rarely accurate in all details.
WhilePanins work has many followers, it also has its critics and detractors and the reader must keepeach in mind for both will have their points.
Overall, however, even the average reader shouldbe convinced that there are biblical patterns both numerically and structurally.
As a final note, Mr.
Panin stated that 1922 was year 5924 (from Adam) according to his BibleChronology.
There are 76 years of difference between1922 and 1998 so 76 added to year 5924 places us at year 6000.
Adjusted according to theHebrew calendar, September 20th, at sundown in 1998, will be 2,000 years from the birthday ofJesus.
Biblical dates and dating, as we should all know, has been going on for a long time andwhile the above may not be certain, we can speculate that we are very near the 6000 year periodas of 1998.) A new date, perhaps more accurate, is offered by Dr.
James Tabor. Heres hisstatement: at sundown, April 34, as Thursday fades into Friday by Jewish reckoning, marksthe actual day and date, 1978 years ago, that Jesus died.
