The primary purpose of the KingsCalendar Website is to publish academic articles in which BenDedek sets forth Apologetics for and the results of his discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Bible, Josephus, the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
The Website is additionally used for the publication of photographic 'Stories from China' as well as social editorial commentaries. R.P. BenDedek is a contributing newspaper columnist at Magic City Morning Star News in Maine U.S.A. and this is the direct link to his column.
R.P.BenDedek also teaches conversational English in SuZhou City Jiangsu Province China and has published onsite a series of Teaching lessons for Students of Conversational English.
The King's Calendar is Primarily an Academic Website:
Chronological Research
The King's Calendar is a computer generated mathematical synchronism primarily of all the Biblical Chronological Data for the Divided Kingdom of Israel, but extending its' application to the chronologies of Josephus, Seder Olam Rabbah and the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It assigns a value of 336 days per Biblical Year derived from the Hypothesis that:
The Proto-Essenes or Hasidim, firstly in Babylonia and later in Palestine, altered the true solar year history of Israel.
Counting each year as comprised of 364 days
They divided these 364 days into 7 day periods
And divided these into 4 week months
To create an artificial year of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days.
The Premise:
Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE)
Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel into the artificial form
Altering the legitimate history of Israel
And extending it, by creating 13 artificial years where 12 solar years once stood
When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align.
Using the Toolbox - Top Left of Screen
Academic Articles are published in the following sections
and can be accessed by clicking onto the ARTICLES BUTTON
If you go to the Table of Content button or Chapter Precis Button, you will find that the first 4 chapters of the Download Version of 'The Secret of Qumran' is freely online, as are some of the Appendicies.
The various academic article sections provide either explanations of various key points in the book, or additional information not contained in the book. It may seem a little strange to provide so much information free of charge, but the fact is that there is a lot to study, and merely reading each and every article provided freely is not the same as following the research as presented in the download version.
Social Commentaries and Photographic Stories.
The following sections contain social commentaries and photographic articles IN ADDITION to those at Magic City Morning Star News.
The Middle East
Israel
Articles at Magic City
Wikipedia
Stories from China
Social Commentaries
There are a few regular contributors to King's Calendar Social Commentaries, as well as the occasional theological commentary. (Contributors are welcome.)

Hit Printer Friendly - BUT - this is the printer friendly page for the first 4 chapters of the book - ONLY.
Send to a friend- provides them with the link to the page you are viewing
Search and Advance Search. You need to be pretty specific in your search because as files so often cross reference, one search word or phrase may turn up hundreds of results.

Below this box, there is the Merrian-Webster Dictionary which is just so handy when reading the King's Calendar.
The top of page toolbar and the top/left toolbox also contain a link to Forums. Because of Pornographic and other spamming, all visitor comments and forum contributions had to be rescinded and are now only available to members. How I wish members would make use of the forums again!
I hope that this page has been of assistance to you.

Definition: King's Calendar Chronological Research
What is the King's Calendar? The Premise: Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE), Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel and Judah, into an artificial form, with listed years as each comprised of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days, or 336 days per year, thus creating a 13th artificial year where 12 solar years existed.
When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align. [Refer to Appendix Five to see how it synchronises the Divided Kingdom Period]
General formula for Biblical Data conversion:
The formula for constructing the artificial calendar was:
'X' times 364 equals 'Y' days
'Y' days divided by 336 equals 'Z' artificial years.
Values are:
'X' = any given number of 'real/solar' years
364 = perceived days in the sectarian calendar
'Y' = number of days calculated
336 = number of days in an artificial year
'Z' = artificial years = 1.083'X' and represents the original number of the converted years plus 8%.
To reverse the process by hand:
'Z' years times 336 equals 'Y' divided by 364 equals the Number of 'X' years converted.
To see how effective this method is, SEE:Appendix 5:Diagrammatic Reconstruction of Israelite History from 936 to 586 BCE:
The Principle of Linear Causality
The King's Calendar is a very simple approach to Biblical Chronology. It substitutes a value of 336 days for every year listed in Scripture. As far as the Divided Kingdom is concerned, when you use this 336 day year value, the synchronisms actually work. To see how effective this method is, SEE:Appendix 5: Diagrammatic Reconstruction of Israelite History from 936 to 586 BCE
Because it is a mathematical system, the King's Calendar must abide by certain mathematical rules, the most important of which, is that if you change any date for any day, month, or year every other day, month, or year is effected and must also change. It's like a 'domino effect'. Chronological references cannot be 'forced' to fit, and nor can they simply be ignored or 'compressed' as is the usual case with historians and archaeologists.
If any King's Calendar chronological determination disagrees with anything in the history books, it must argue the case as to why the history books are wrong, or why the evidence for an assertion is untrustworthy. If the King's Calendar successfully defends its' position, then the history books cannot be treated as definitive, and if the King's Calendar is 'proven' wrong, then every other chronological reference it provides is also wrong.
Because of this, the King's Calendar Chronological Reconstruction of Israel's history is unique, in that its' methodology can be scientifically (mathematically) tested and demonstrated to be either true or false. Its' chronological predictions are able to be 'proved' or 'disproved'.
R.P.BenDedek is from Brisbane Australia and is the author of 'The King's Calendar: The Secret of Qumran' at http://www.kingscalendar.com His academic articles set forth Apologetics for and results of his discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Bible, Josephus, the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
He writes photographic 'Stories from China' and social editorial commentaries, both at KingsCalendar, and as a contributing newspaper columnist. He currently teaches Conversational English in China and in addition to his English Lessons at KingsCalendar, he has created specific sites for Students of English.
