Herod declared king by the Romans, according to
Josephus
|
(Ant. xvii. 8 &1), who states that his death
took place thirty-seven years later,
|
and as he always reckoned his years from Nisan to
Nisan
|
(including initial and terminal fractions of
Nisan as complete years),
|
the death of Herod would be in 749-750 A.U.C., or
4-3 B.C.

1. ZUMPT fixes Quirinus' (Cyrenius') First
Govenorship as 4 B.C. to 1 B.C. Justin Martyr thrice says
that our Lord was born under Quirinus (Apol.1.XXXIV, p.37; XLVI,
p. 46; Dial. LXXVIII, p. 195. Clark's ed.).
2. According to some, Augustus died August 19, A.D.
14. Therefore if Tiberius' co-regancy was for two years
before Augustus' death his first year was 765 A.U.C. = 12
A.D. His fifteenth year consequently was A.U.C. 779 = 26
A.D. = 4030 A.M. and A.C. 30. for our Lord was thirty years
of age when He begun His Ministry (Luke 3:23). Clement of
Alexandria gives the years of Augustus' reign as being 43-46,
according to different reckonings in his day.
3. According to Clement of Alexandria (c. A.D.
190-220) Our Lord was born in the twenty-eighth year when first
the census was taken every fourteen years, then the next would
fall in A.D. 10, and the succeeding one would have been due
A.D.24.
280 days= 40 weeks--forty
sevens, the perfect period of human gestation
[7x5x8=280].
The Component Numbers of 280 are highly significant in
this connection.
7 denotes Spiritual Perfection.
5 denotes Divine Grace.
8 denotes Resurrection, Regeneration, &c. (Ap. 10).
1st TEBETH=25th December (5 B. C.).
15th ETHANIM=29th September (4 B. C.).
From 1st TEBETH to 15th ETHANIM (inclusive)=280 days.
From 25th December (5 B. C.) to 29th September (4 B. C.)=280
days.
