Appendix: ‘GAPS’

In Israel’s National Timeline

Contrast:

1. ACCORDING TO: 1KINGS 6:1; TEMPLE BEGAN 480 YEARS AFTER EGYPT
2. BUT: ACTS 13:18-21; 40years IN THE WILDERNESS
                                      450   years UNDER JUDGES
                                         40   years UNDER SAUL
3.  PLUS WE KNOW:       40   years UNDER DAVID
                                           3   years UNDER SOLOMON
   GIVES A TOTAL:       573 years

Consider:

   3.  JUDGES 3:8;    8   years under OCCUPATION
                    3:14;     18   years under OCCUPATION
                    4:2-3;   20   years under OCCUPATION
                    6:1;          7   years under OCCUPATION
                   13:1;       40   years under OCCUPATION

                    TOTAL:  93   years out of the Land or under occupation,
                                          and therefore outside the ‘national time-line’ calculation

     4.  THIS LEAVES EXACTLY:  480 years COUNTED IN THE NATIONAL TIMELINE OF ISRAEL’S HISTORY.

Conclude:

   5.  A CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN THAT WHEN ISRAEL IS UNDER OFFICIAL DISCIPLINE AS A NATION, GOD’S TIMETABLE IS POSTPONED OR UNCOUNTED, AND A ‘GAP’ OCCURS.
