PATU16 BC/AD solved via Isaiah 53 Time Poem

Now we see the sophisticated 1078-syllable 'time poem' in Isaiah 53, that Paul will meter back to via his anaphora in Ephesians 1:3-14.  Download here:  http://www.brainout.net/Isa53Map.pdf .

Isaiah uses a straight chronology of 'actors' saying 'lines' from the birth of first David -- 10 years after Moses left off in Psalm 90 -- to the then-scheduled death of the LAST David, in 37 AD.  The chapter starts in Hebrew in 52:13, ending at 53:12, and ostensibly runs 462 syllables, which is 350+112=(70x5)+56+56.  

Just as Moses put syllables=years in ellipsis, so does Isaiah.  From David's death at the end of 52:15, Isaiah puts 252 years in ellipsis, resuming the text in 53:1, at either 714 or 712 BC, when he was ministering to Hezekiah during the first time Sennacharib was attacking.  It's one syllable per year again at that point, so goes in order to cover all Israel's kings down to the destruction of the Temple which was then-future, in 586 BC, TO THE VERY DAY.  That's at the end of Isaiah 53:4, and the text reads, 'God, Violated'.  You can see more of this in my Yapping Most High Episode 10, and in the Psalm 90 playlist.

The second ellipsis is a 'reimbursement' for the time the first Temple was standing, and is 364 years long, between Isaiah 53:11-12.  Scholars call this the 'intertestamental period', since Malachai was completed by 397BC, when this 'hiatus' in Isaiah's Messiah Time poem, begins.  So Isaiah 53:12 picks up at 5BC in 'our' calendar, which is the Annunciation, taking place per Luke 1:26, in the month of Adar (double definite articles means a calendar month -- not referring to Elizabeth's six month, which instead is noted in Luke 1:36, not here).  Nine months later, is Chanukah.

That's a lot of meaning to absorb, so this video merely highlights the structure of the passage to show the mirroring; so you realize a TIME POEM is given, to add specific TIMING to the words.  Text is still about Messiah, but this TIMING re Israel's history, runs sotto voce beneath the words, and the SAME WORDS have another layer of historical meaning, with each actor represented by the words for the syllable=year in question.  Wry stuff.
