Chapter Six 92<br />
Furthermore, this calendar is the very one which has descended to us, after more than six thousand years,<br />
unfortunately with awkward alterations in the length of the months, but for these alterations the Egyptians<br />
were not responsible."<br />
The calendar we use today was devised two-hundred thirty-seven years before the Earth was created if we<br />
want to accept the Bible dates. However, Archbishop Ussher (1581-1656 A.D.) figured out much of the Bible<br />
chronology and dated certain events by it. The dates, therefore, are not actually scriptural, but man-made.<br />
Certain Fundamental Christian groups believe the world was really created on October 23, 4004 B.C. The<br />
question that immediately comes up is: 'What was going on the day before, October 22nd? If the world hadn't<br />
been created yet, there couldn't have been an October, since that month was devised by man many years later!<br />
"Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon<br />
the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire." (Psalms 104:3-4). Again<br />
there is a cross-reference to II Kings 2:11.<br />
"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in<br />
the holy place." (Psalms 68:17).<br />
There are cross-references here to II Kings 6:16-17, already quoted. Daniel 7:9-10; Hebrews 12:20-22;<br />
Deuteronomy 33 are also referred to.<br />
"I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow,<br />
and the hair of his head was like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning<br />
fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him (and ten<br />
thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set and the books were opened." (Daniel<br />
7:9-10).<br />
Daniel and all the other prophets saw great fiery objects come down from the heavens and they con-versed<br />
with tremendous numbers of celestial beings who emerged from these objects--these beings instructed the<br />
prophets in the beauteous laws of love. More will be said about Daniel in The Remnant. A colossal program of<br />
aid, comfort and instruction was instituted with The Prophets. Of course, the Bible account is somewhat<br />
confused due to the many translations and alterations, and in some cases the deliberate attempt to cover up the<br />
truth in order to keep the mass of people "ignorant". However, people who know the truth are not dependent<br />
upon theological dogma or doctrine to "save them" or make them free: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth<br />
shall make you free."<br />
"For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall<br />
be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and<br />
quake: But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to<br />
an innumerable company of angels." (Hebrews 12:20-22).<br />
"As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth<br />
them on her wings: So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him." (Deuteronomy<br />
32:11).<br />
"And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.<br />
And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran,<br />
and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law (fire of law) for them."<br />
(Deuteronomy 33:1-2).<br />
All the foregoing seems to point to a great company of angels, or heavenly host, who had descended to Earth<br />
to give Moses and his people specific information, and they warned Moses and the people not to come near as
