Did Jesus die on the 4000th year?

This DOES happen ... frequently! Part A of a prophecy will be fulfilled at one point on the time line, but Part B of the prophecy won't be fulfilled until a later point on the time line. And, sometimes, these two time periods could be separated by hundreds or THOUSANDS of years! However, AT NO TIME is Part A fulfilled at one point on the time line and then fulfilled a second time at a later point on the time line!

OK, I agree.  This is a better way of putting how the prophesies will be fulfilled.

Your idea of what the prophets have "PLAINLY informed us [God] has planned" is flawed because you're not willing to see anything other than what you WANT to see.

What I don't see is a 'rapture to heaven' for anyone, anywhere in the Bible.   But what I do see, is a soon to happen terrible Day of worldwide destruction that will change the world and lead up to the Glorious Return of Jesus. This Day of fire, earthquakes, storms and tsunamis, will kill many, but we Christians must stand firm in our faith, then God will bless us mightily, as we go to live in peace and prosperity in all of the holy Land.  Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26

I TOTALLY agree with you! There is NO "rapture to Heaven" because of several factors, the key of which is that "heaven" means "the sky." We will go into the air and go THROUGH the "heavens" - THROUGH the "skies" - as we head toward the Middle East and Israel.

The Marriage of the Lamb? It happens after the Lord Yeshua` has returned and He will drink the "fruit of the vine new" in His Kingdom!

The Judgment seat of Christ? It is the Judgment Seat of the MESSIAH (for "Christ" or the Greek "Christos" MEANS the Hebrew "Mashiyach" or "Messiah"), and He, like His ancestors before Him, will judge from David's Throne in Israel. EVERY King of Israel has done so! And, His "Judgment Seat" won't be for a mere seven years but will be throughout the Millennium AND BEYOND!

Now, the Day of the LORD SHALL be a terrible Day of destruction, but NOT worldwide. That doesn't happen until the FIRE at the end of the Millennium. We understand this to be true because of several key passages, even in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 14:17-20
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without (outside) the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
KJV

Can you see how this is a LOCAL "harvesting?" The limiting facts are "outside the city," referring to Jerusalem; "unto the horse bridles," which would be approximately 6 feet deep; and "by the space of 1,600 furlongs" which would be approximately 184 miles. Knowing that this would have to be most of the length of Israel, the width can also be calculated as the width of the valley this describes along the west plain of the Land. Thus, we can calculate the amount of blood that would produce such a scene and, based on 10 pints of blood per human body, that would be far less people than are in the whole earth! 

The trumpet judgments are equally local. Meteorites do NOT affect the entire earth directly; they are localized to a particular region of the earth's surface.

Thus, when we read Revelation 8:7, we can read it as a LOCALIZED event:

Revelation 8:7
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth (the land; the ground, whatever John could see): and the third part of trees (in that land) was burnt up, and all green grass (in that land) was burnt up.
KJV

The same is true for Revelation 8:8-9:

Revelation 8:8-9
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea (singular, not "all the oceans of the earth"!): and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships (on that sea) were destroyed.
KJV

The same is true for Revelation 8:10-11:

Revelation 8:10-11
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven (from the sky), burning (sputtering) as it were a lamp (torch), and it fell upon the third part of the rivers (in that land), and upon the fountains of waters (in that land);
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood (Greek: apsinthos, meaning "poison," from which we get the name "absinthe"): and the third part of the waters became wormwood ("poison"; "absinthe"); and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter (poisonous).
KJV

The same is true for Revelation 9:1-12:

Revelation 9:1-12
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key (key coordinates) of the bottomless pit (the shaft with an unsounded bottom).
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Same as above in Revelation 8:12-13.)
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth (upon the land; upon the ground): and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth (of the ground) have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth (what grass if it was "all burned up?"), neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
KJV

Therefore, these are not as global as some have taught.

Revelation 20:4-6
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 (But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.) This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ (and of His Messiah), and shall reign with him a thousand years.
KJV

If we shall reign with Him a thousand years, over whom are we going to be reigning? If the above destructions are worldwide, who is left over whom we may reign?!

We also have Revelation 21:23-26:

Revelation 21:23-26
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
KJV

And, this is AFTER the FIRE of Revelation 20:9! But then, remember what the angel Gavri'el told Miryam:

Luke 1:30-33
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS (Greek: Ieesous from Hebrew/Aramaic: Yeshua`).
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
KJV
 

[Keras]

Well, we do seem to be getting to a position of consensus.  That's great.

It is all of the holy Land, from the Nile to the Euphrates that will be virtually depopulated and burned over at the terrible Day of the Lord's wrath.  Joel 1:13-20 But what the Lord will use to carry out His judgement/punishment will affect the whole world. This is obvious, as  even a localized disaster of that magnitude, must have repercussions everywhere. But the Bible prophets plainly say: ....the whole earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealously. Zephaniah 3:8,  The Lord is coming in fire , He will test all mankind... Isaiah 66:15-16

Many will die around the world as well:  Those whom the Lord has slain on that Day, will lie scattered from one end of the earth to the other. Jeremiah 25:33   The sky will be dispersed, the earth be wasted and its inhabitants will die like flies. Isaiah 51:6

The Sixth Seal event is what 1 Peter 4:12 refers to. We will all be tested, make no mistake about that!  To pass the test, we must stand firm in our faith and call upon His Name. Acts 2:21

Shalom, Keras.

Okay, that's good, but why must you insist on taking things in the prophecies of the Tanakh (the OT) and thinking that they all apply to OUR future?! You need to learn how to delineate between the prophecies that are fulfilled and the prophecies yet to be fulfilled.

You probably know most of the prophecies, for instance, that predict the First Coming (the First Advent) of our Lord Yeshua` the Messiah. Those are most definitely fulfilled and are complete. You wouldn't take one of those prophecies and apply them haphazardly to the appearance of another, would you?

Then, why would you take a prophecy against Bavel (Babylon) and apply it toward a time period to which it doesn't belong? Even if you don't understand HOW the verse(s) may have been fulfilled by the history of 539 B.C., you should at least start with the ASSUMPTION that they were so fulfilled, and not wrench the verse or verses out of their context to make them mean something they were never intended to mean!

Let's look at the one verse, Isaiah 13:13:

Isaiah 13:13
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
KJV

Here's the Hebrew:

Yesha`yahu 13:13
13 Al keen shaamayim argiyz v-tir`ash haa’aarets mimqowmaah b`eVrat YHWH tsVaa’owt uwVyowm charown apow:
JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH

13 Al = 13 Above/Over/Upon/Against
keen = set-upright/just/rightly/so
shaamayim = skies
argiyz = I-will-make-quiver
v- = and
tir`ash = I-shall-make-to-undulate/to-shake/to-spring
haa’aarets = the-earth/land/Land-(of-Israel)
mi- = from
mqowmaah = a-standing/spot
b- = in
`eVrat = an-outburst-of-passion/anger/wrath
YHWH = YHWH/the-LORD
tsVaa’owt = of-armies
uwV- = and
yowm = a-day
charown = of-a-burning
apow: = of-his-nostrils.

Therefore, your phrase "the earth shall remove out of her place" in the KJV comes from the Hebrew phrase "and I shall make to undulate the land from [its] spot." It does NOT mean "the whole planet shall be removed out of its place!" It's talking about an earthquake that happened in Mesopotamia.

We learn from various sites that...

(More at Jack Hennessy Garrity's Sumeria-and-early-Mesootamia.)

So, why cling to some English version of what the Bible says? Is it really to gain knowledge, or is it really to support some pet theory you have?

Look, there's no need to have a 360-day year. It's not like our financial, Julian calendars and calculations used for generalized amortization schedules, where every month is 30 days and a year is just 360 days (with the other 5.24 days counted as "holidays").

You said you had no need for the Hebrew calendar, but you really should look into it. It will give you a different perspective on this 30-day-per-month generality that has no place in reality. Just because the math works out much easier (1,260 days; 3.5 years x 360 days/year = 1,260 days; 42 months x 30 days/month = 1,260 days; WOW! Would you look at that! 1,260 days = 1,260 days = 1,260 days!), doesn't mean it's correct!

However, to FORCE it to be "correct," we just need somehow to make a year equal 360 days! So, we ARREST a verse, pulled out of its context, and FORCE it to mean that the 365.24-day year is mutated into a 360-day year! That's not exegesis; that's EISEGESIS! You're not letting the Scriptures dictate what you believe; you're FORCING YOUR viewpoint onto the Scriptures! That's just bad hermeneutics.

Hi Retrobyter

The reason lunar months have gone from 30 days, as recorded in Genesis at the time of the flood, to 29.53  as it is today, may have been caused by the flood itself by causing the Earth's rotation to speed up slightly and thus increasing the number of days in a year from 360 days to 365.242 days. It's been theorised that the flood caused the land to sink somewhat into the ocean floor, which pulled the Earth's land mass closer to its centre of gravity (like an ice skater pulling their arms in to increase the speed of a spin) and secondly due to 'Tidal Acceleration’, which is the process by which the tides on Earth actually slow down the rotation of the Earth and that the drag on the Earth’s rotation decreased after the flood due to the oceans being able to 'pass' through the separated continents rather than having to surge around one large land mass.

Sure. All that "may have been" the reason, but then again, the moon still "may have been" made of green cheese under all that dust!

Look, every human being would LOVE the magic numbers to be the nice, easy numbers of 30 and 360, but...

Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
KJV

God DESIGNED the "magic numbers" to be roughly 29.53 days/lunar cycle and 365.242 days/year! He also DESIGNED the earth's average distance from the sun to be about 93,000,000 miles and the tilt of the earth's axis to be an average of 23.43697 degrees!

When God CREATED the earth and its skies, 

Genesis 1:14-19
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
KJV

Later, He assured the hearts of Noach and his family:

Genesis 8:18-22
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
KJV

Why should God throw His intricate balances out of whack just so our numbers can be simplified?! God made these numbers so that every day might be UNIQUE, in spite of their cyclical nature, just as He created us out of genetic information stored in our DNA so that we each are UNIQUE to Him!

Why was it 30 days, because the Bible say so:

Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the Heavens were opened.

Genesis 7:24
The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 8:3-4
3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 

In other words, the five months consisted of thirty days each, and therefore twelve months would equal 360 days.

This is a very possible way the year will become 360 days. Thanks. 

However, as the prophets make clear, what the Lord will use on His Day of wrath, will be the sun, His storehouse: Deut 32:34.   This blast of ejecta from the sun will strike the earth; billions of tons of Hydrogen plasma causing it to shudder and shake, Isaiah 24:19-20, and move from its place. Isaiah 13:13  This mass will hit at mid day onto the Middle East, Zephaniah 2:4, but as the earth is rotating and moving along its orbital track around the sun at 66,000mph, its effect will be mostly a glancing one that will give the earth a push, speeding up its orbit and making the year 360 days. I do not see the day length being altered.   This also shows how most of the worlds population will survive, the majority who will say that was just a natural disaster and will form a One World Govt to regain law and order, but we Christans will migrate into all of the holy Land. Isaiah 35:1-10, Psalms 107, Isaiah 62:1-5

I can't see why Retro must deny this possibility.  The time periods given in Daniel and Revelation are just not logical as they are, this change makes them mesh correctly.

Yes I know your MCE theory/belief but you should at least revise your understanding when you say: ' its effect will be mostly a glancing one that will give the earth a push, speeding up its orbit and making the year 360 days. I do not see the day length being altered. '

If the earths rotation speeds up then it will increase the number of days per year, not decrease them and of course that would affect the length of each day too. i.e. faster rotation = shorter days and visa versa.

I do not think the day length will change. It isn't the earths rotation that the CME will alter, but the time it takes to complete a full orbit around the sun. A year will be 5.24 days shorter after what is prophesied to happen, takes place. 

I will be vindicated, all the prophets tell us about this dramatic event. 

To get back to the OP of this thread: Jesus commenced His ministry, therefore the Christian era, when He was baptized. That was on 29.5 AD, which is exactly 4000 years since Adam. 2000 years from that date; Jesus will Return.

You're right! "God's word does not lie or distort," but PEOPLE distort quite fine on their own through their own RIDICULOUS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE HEBREW CALENDAR AND JEWISH TIME-KEEPING and through their own ASSUMPTIONS based on coincidental facts! Let's look at the WHOLE account of the time-keeping of the Flood, please:

Genesis 7:1-8:19
7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above (Hebrew: `al = "above/over/upon/against") the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed (Hebrew: vayigbruw = "and-they-were-strong"), and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the (sur)face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly (Hebrew: gaaVruw = "they-were-strong") upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed (Hebrew: vayigbruw = "and-they-were-strong") upon (Hebrew: `al = "above/over/upon/against") the earth an hundred and fifty days.
8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind (Hebrew: ruwach = "a wind") to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged (abated);
2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and AFTER the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet (an)other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet (an)other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the (sur)face of the ground was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

Now, let's talk about Hebrew time-keeping:

First, any part of a time period is counted as the whole of that time period. Thus, three years and a month would be counted as four years.
Three hours left of a day would still constitute that entire day, etc.

Second, when a person is born, he or she is considered as "one year old." Using parethetical notation for timelines, that is "(x" means "< x" or "is less than x," "[x" means "<= x" or "is less than or equal to x," "x)" means "x <" or "x is less than," and "x]" means "x <=" or "x is less than or equal to," ...
the Gentile way of looking at ages is ...
0 ["newborn") 1 ["one") 2 ["two") 3 ["three") 4...
but the Jewish way of counting a person's age is ...
0 ("one"] 1 ("two"] 2 ("three"] 3 ("four"] 4... .

Third, the Hebrew day begins at sundown with the sighting of the first three stars in the sky. "The evening and the morning were the first day."

Fourth, the new moon (Ro'sh Chodesh) begins with the first sighting of the sliver of white of the moon. If the sky is overcast, on the expected new moon, it falls to the next day. IF that night is also overcast, then it falls to the next day, but never more than two days away from when it was first expected.

Fifth, the days of the months vary between 29 and 30 days, because of the length of time between new moons. It is truly a "moonth."

So, the timing is as follows:

(02/10/600)
God warns Noach
7 days
(02/17/600)
Fountains of the deep are broken
Rain begins to fall
40 days & 40 nights (backward; therefore, started sometime during the daytime, possibly dawn)

Because the sky would be overcast for Ro'sh Chodesh of the third month, the second month would be 31 days, both days overcast.

Rain ceased in the third month; water continues to rise.

The third "moonth" would be visible and assumed to be 29 days, the fourth month would be 30 days, the fifth month would be 29 days, and sixth month would be 30 days, and the end of the 150 days was on (07/17/600), when the ark came to rest on an underwater mountain. The tally, then, would be (31-16)+29+30+29+30+17 = 150, adding one for the first "day" (after the first "night"). 

Water height continues to climb until it is at least 15 cubits (22.5 feet) above the tops of the mountains (the "keel" or displacement of the "ark," which means "box" by the way).

Also, note that the wording of 8:3 is "AFTER the end of the 150 days the waters were abated," not "AT the end." Chapter 7 shows the water increasing, and chapter 8 shows the water abating, after YHWH sends a wind to dry up the waters. It's not until verse 11 that the waters were finally abated and the land was dry.

It wasn't until (02/27/601) that YHWH allowed them to leave the ark. They were aboard the ark for a year and 10 days.
