Book Cover & Preview Text
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise." So begins the story of the birth of Jesus Christ according to the gospel of Matthew. And the angels said unto the shepherds who were out keeping watch over their flocks by night: "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord," according to the gospel of Luke. But which calendar date was "this day" that Jesus was born? And what about all of the other days and months and years of his life? Why have the exact calendar dates of Jesus’ life and ministry not been discovered? It is a fact that the knowledge of the true and exact dates of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ has always been one of the great mysteries of the ages. We have Christmas, which was not Jesus’ birthday, and we also observe Easter each spring, which was surely not the anniversary of Jesus’ resurrection. The latter is a fact simply because Easter occurs on different dates each year, and that cannot be the anniversary of any event. So when did the man Jesus of Nazareth really live, perform his ministry, suffer death, and was resurrected? Until this time the true and exact dates of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ have remained unknown. Few have supposed that they could ever be discovered, without new revelation from God; for there are no records on the earth, as far as anyone knows. Nevertheless, I have discovered them, and these dates are presented in plainness and simplicity in this book. These are the exact calendar dates of the life and the ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There are ancient records which have been discovered by man on the earth, and there has been latter-day prophecy and revelation. There has come forth the great and latter-day dispensation of the gospel as was prophesied throughout the Bible. This was even the restoration of the church of Jesus Christ to his saints in the latter-days. The author has received testimony of the truthfulness of these things, and he has attained unto this inspiration and knowledge.

About the Book
The calendar dates, which are plainly documented in this book, are the exact dates that Jesus of Nazareth lived in the flesh, and performed his life and ministry upon the earth for the redemption of mankind. The dates are based on the dates of the Mosaic calendar of the Old Testament, the time prophecies of the Book of Daniel, and the narrative of the New Testament, which Jesus fulfilled during his life and ministry. This book, Jesus in Time, reveals the true and exact calendar dates of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ on our present-day Gregorian calendar. It reveals the true dates of his conception, birth, circumcision, presentation, baptism, transfiguration, last supper, gethsemane, crucifixion, entombment, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven on our Gregorian calendar. This book is composed of four parts, each of which are necessary and that complement each other. Part I deciphers the Mosaic calendar of the Old Testament. Part II reveals the hidden meaning of the time prophecies of the Book of Daniel. Part III presents the exact dates of Jesus’ life and ministry. Part IV bears witness to the restoration of the church of Jesus Christ in the latter-days. The knowledge of the exact dates of Jesus' life in the flesh simply serves to document his life in our human history. I sincerely hope that this knowledge will be a great blessing to all Christendom, and to all the world of mankind. May we finally know the true calendar dates of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the scriptures on which they are based, and the truth to which they bear witness.
