Flood

Revelation Chapter 12

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,

that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,

where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,

from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood

after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried

away of the flood.

Martin Luther translates: one time and two times and half a time

Genesis: The procreation years of the patriarchs plus Noah's

years of life until the Flood add up to 1656 years.

3,5 x 1656 = 5796

Masoretic text:

The patriarchs' years of procreation plus Noah's years of life up to the flood were 1656 years.

Christian / Jewish

3761 BC / 0001

2106 BC / 1656

2035 AD / 5796

Did Luther want to refer to the year 2035 (5796) as the time of the Apocalypse?
