1. The Flood Ended on the 27th day of the 2nd month in the year 1656 from Creation (2350 BC) (Genesis 8:14-19).

2. Jebus, A Canaanite City, was founded during the 345 year interval between 1656 and 2000 FC (2350 and 2005 BC).

3. Saul Anointed King.   Jebus (PreExilic Jerusalem) was now under Israelite dominion, 3021 FC (985 BC).

4. Solomon Anointed King.   David's World Throne was given unto Solomon's children, 3095 FC (911 BC).   The Sixth Kingdom (Judah) was now established.

5. Early Israel's Diaspora began as ten tribes went North with Jeroboam, 3135 FC (871 BC), and three tribes were displaced by Solomon's children.   Also, some Israelites had been taken captive by Africans, Assyrians, Philistines, Edomites, etc.

6. Destruction And Covering Of PreExilic Jerusalem (Jebus) including the Solomonic Temple was now complete as King Nebuchadnezzar took the last of his captive Jews to Babylon, 3524 FC (481 BC).

7. Jewry's 70 Year Babylonian Captivity, 3525 thru 3594 FC (481 to 411 BC Spring to Spring).   This captivity lasted unto Cyrus' conquest of Babylon.   But, upon Jewry's return from Babylon, the PreExilic City had disappeared.   So, a new city was founded East of the old.

8. Now People Can Unearth And Reenter The Preserved Remains Of The Hidden City.   That is, ever since Nehemiah rebuilt his New Jerusalem atop ruins located East of ancient Jebus (the PreExilic Jerusalem), people have searched the region of Nehemiah's New Jerusalem in vain.   Evidence of the PreExilic City obviously was not there.   However, now that The LORD'S Day has arrived, the early PreExilic City with the ancient Solomonic Temple has been located.
