For instance, the creations dates can be optionally pushed back another 2 years, creating patterns even more remarkable . Noah's death bridges the period from the flood until Abraham. This parallel 130 allows a complex connection to be made between the time of the flood, and the birth of Terah and Abraham. This connection has important theological implications that we cannot discuss now. However, if we consider the 60 of Acts 7 that pushes back the flood 60 years, then Noah would have died when Abraham was born.
Patterns occur using the mirror as well.
Many of these patterns are internally there in Scripture and remain unaffected by differences that exist in literal date setting. Nevertheless, it is my conviction that the majority date for the exodus best fits all the data, both archeologically and numerically. These patterns, both numeric and thematic, are strong evidence, not only of an intelligent Designer, but that the design calls for certain fluctuations in chronology. In this case, they result from three NT passages that differ from the standard MT, with the LXX and SP also in partial agreement. Those familiar with the jubilee system should appreciate its significance, for the jubilee relates to the resurrection motif.
