Hi Bruce,
My E-mail can be gotten in the link above or

You know because of you I ended up developing yet another chronology, only this time based on the number 14!
That's because Matthew breaks down the generations from Abraham through Jesus into 14 generations each and the numbers fall exactly on the correct dates based upon Jesus birth in 2 BCE or the 1st deportation in the accession year of Nebuchadnezzar 2 in 548BCE, or the birth of Abraham 430+76 years before the Exodus. So now we have several more coordinated numbers.
I'll post my chart with the numbers above.
Only problem is that it emphasizes 14 instead of 12.
As far as the 144,000 replacing the fallen angels I find that interesting and certainly it works out that since they will become angels there will be some direct compensation for those angels that had rebelled along with Satan.
So please send me your E-mail, maybe you make a good point. But of note, the generations are broken into 14's as far as from Abraham to Jesus.
Cheers,
Bibleman
