John 3 

16.  "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17.  "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

 

Hebrews 11  

1.  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2.  For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.  

3.  By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

 4.  By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.  

 5.  By faith Enoch was translated so that he did not see death, "and was not found because God had translated him''; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

 6.  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

 7.  By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

 8.  By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would afterward receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

 9.  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

 10.  for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

 11.  By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

 12.  Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

 

 13.  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

 14.  For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.

 15.  And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.

 16.  But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

 

 17.  By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

 18.  of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,''

 19.  accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

 24.  By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

 25choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

 26.  esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

 27.  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

 28.  By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

 29.  By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

36.  Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.

37.  They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented 

38.  of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.  

39.  And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,

40.  God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

 2.  looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The Book of Hebrews had to be written by the replacement 12th Apostle Paul, the Hebrew of Hebrews (Phil 3:5) who experienced his own wilderness experience in Damascus (Rev. 12, woman/church, Paul and its beginnings) and learned the Gospel by a revelation of Jesus Christ (Gal. 1). Paul, an expert in Old Testament History and a Book to Hebrews, or a book about the wilderness experiences of Hebrews to the 7 Churches of Revelation 2 and 3, and their own predictable wilderness experiences, brought on by ‘a falling away’, revealed to the Apostle John by a revelation of Jesus Christ?

Hebrews 11, an Old Testament and New Testament review of history, fallings away, recovery (or reform led by Heroes of Faith) and times of a promised rest (Hebrews 3 and 4), until the last one, the Second Coming, and Jesus, the greatest Hero.

Of course we have those who promote the Depravity Ism Shortcut to influence us. And like other Ism’s only tend to destroy our influence on the cultures we live in, and our children. We need Heroes not scapegoats. No sheep are lost, but how should we then live and die?

Are Ussher’s numbers accurate? Since the year 2000 I have been charting Ussher’s work and I have to say Ussher’s work is the best scholarly estimate. In total it makes sense. Even the significant numbers listed above. It helps us to see the Bible and The Great Commission in context and its relevance.

Of course if we have an –ism- to protect, then we can find some opposing historical record (without demonstrating a total) or even ignore some Scriptural proof or even change a version of Scripture, word or name, etc. to defend our –ism-.

______________

How did the Gospel get to Pitcairn Island?

Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: C:\webwork\pitcairn_files\image038.jpg

About 4032 years after The Tower of Babel incident, mutineers from the British ship HMS Bounty founded a Christian colony on Pitcairn Island. God scattered humanity after the Tower and God eventually used a strange set of circumstances to found this community at the remotest part of the world. Some may say this was not an official missionary endeavor, but I like the original intent and success of God’s purposes. When ‘take the theology into all the world’ replaces  ‘take the Gospel into all the world, the 10 Commandments, and undistorted history’, and imposition of divisise ism’s, the Mission is just about over.

(Maybe that is Church History in a microcosm.)

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Further information: Mutiny on the Bounty: 

In 1790, nine of the mutineers from the Bounty, along with the native Tahitian men and women that were with them (six men, eleven women and a baby), settled on Pitcairn Islands and set fire to the Bounty. The wreck is still visible underwater in Bounty Bay, discovered in 1957 by National Geographic explorer Luis Marden. Although the settlers survived by farming and fishing, the initial period of settlement was marked by serious tensions among them. Alcoholism, murder, disease and other ills took the lives of most mutineers and Tahitian men. John Adams and Ned Young turned to the scriptures, using the ship's Bible as their guide for a new and peaceful society. Young eventually died of an asthmatic infection.

The Polynesians also converted to Christianity. They later converted from their original form of Christianity to Seventh-day Adventism, following a successful Adventist mission in the 1890s. After the rediscovery of Pitcairn, John Adams was granted amnesty for his part in the mutiny.

Ducie Island was rediscovered in 1791 by Royal Navy Captain Edwards aboard HMS Pandora, while searching for the Bounty mutineers. He named it after Francis Reynolds-Moreton, 3rd Baron Ducie, also a captain in the Royal Navy. 

The Pitcairn islanders reported it was not until 27 December 1795 that the first ship since the Bounty was seen from the island, but it did not approach the land and they could not make out the nationality. A second ship appeared some time in 1801, but made no attempt to communicate with them. A third came sufficiently near to see their house, but did not try to send a boat on shore. Finally, the American trading ship Topaz under Mayhew Folger became the first to visit the island, when the crew spent 10 hours on Pitcairn in February 1808. A report of Folger's discovery was forwarded to the Admiralty, mentioning the mutineers and giving a more precise location of the island—25° 2' S latitude, 130° W longitude. However, this was not known to Sir Thomas Staines, who commanded a Royal Navy flotilla of two ships (HMS Briton and HMS Tagus) which found the island at 25° 4' S and 130° 25' W (by meridian observation) on 17 September 1814. Staines sent a party ashore and wrote a detailed report for the Admiralty.

Henderson Island was rediscovered on 17 January 1819 by a British Captain James Henderson of the British East India Company ship Hercules. On 2 March 1819, Captain Henry King, sailing on the Elizabeth, landed to find the king's colours already flying. His crew scratched the name of their ship into a tree, and for some years the island was known as either Elizabeth or Henderson. Oeno Island was discovered on 26 January 1824 by USA Captain George Worth aboard the whaler Oeno.

Pitcairn Island became a British colony in 1838, and was among the first territories to extend voting rights to women. By the mid-1850s, the Pitcairn community was outgrowing the island and its leaders appealed to the British government for assistance. They were offered Norfolk Island, and on 3 May 1856, the entire community of 193 people set sail for Norfolk on board the Morayshire, arriving on 8 June after a miserable five-week trip. But after eighteen months on Norfolk, seventeen of the Pitcairners decided to return to their home island; five years later another twenty-seven did as well. In 1886 the Seventh-day Adventist layman John Tay visited the island and persuaded most of the islanders to accept his faith. He returned in 1890 on the missionary schooner Pitcairn with an ordained minister to perform baptisms. From that time the majority of Pitcairners were Adventists.

In 1902, Henderson, Oeno and Ducie islands were annexed by Britain: Henderson on 1 July, Oeno on 10 July and Ducie on 19 December. In 1938, the three islands, along with Pitcairn, were formally incorporated into a single administrative unit called the "Pitcairn Group of Islands".

The population peaked at 233 in 1937, and has since fallen due to emigration, primarily to New Zealand, leaving some fifty people living on Pitcairn.
