296 to figure out the elusive messianic End of Days: if Creation, “The Beginning,” according to Genesis, took God six days, and a divine day lasts a thousand years, the result is a dura- tion of 6,000 years from Beginning to End. The End of Days, it has thus been figured, will come in the Anno Mundi year 6,000. Applied to the Hebrew calendar of Nippur that began in 3760 B.c.E., this means that the End of Days will occur in A.D. 2240 (6000 — 3760 = 2240). This third End of Days calculation may be disappointing or comforting—it depends on one’s expectations. The beauty of this calculation is that it is in perfect harmony with the Sumerian sexagesimal (“base 60”) system. It might even prove in future to be correct, but I don’t think so: it is again linear—and it is a cyclical time unit that is called for by the prophecies. With none of the “modern” predicted dates workable, one must look back at the olden “formulas’”—do what had been advised in Isaiah, “look at the signs backwards.” We have two cyclical choices: the Divine Time orbital period of Nib- iru, and the Celestial Time of the zodiacal Precession. Which one is it? That the Anunnaki came and went during a “window of opportunity” when Nibiru arrived at Perigee (nearest the Sun, and thus the closest to Earth and Mars) is so obvious that some readers of mine used to simply deduct 3600 from 4000 (as a round date for Anu’s last visit), resulting in 400 B.c.E., or deduct 3,600 from 3760 (when the Nippur calendar began)— as the Maccabbees did—and arrive at 160 B.c.E. Either way, the next arrival of Nibiru is way in the distant future. In fact, as the reader now knows, Nibiru arrived earlier, circa 560 B.c.E. When considering that “digression,” one must keep in mind that the perfect SAR (3600) has always been a mathematical orbital period, because celestial or- bits—of planets, comets, asteroids—digress from orbit to orbit due to the gravitational tug of other planets near which they pass. To use the well-tracked Halley’s Comet as an ex- ample, its given period of 75 years actually fluctuates from THE END OF DAYS
