What year did Jesus think he was living in?

Answer 1

Good question depends how long the man made invention of time had been going obviously tho there was no BC then so the year went forward as it does now. Imposable question to answer but riddle me this riddle me that what the hell are you playing at

Answer 2

By our reckoning of time today, Jesus lived a little over 2000 years ago, when calendars were pretty much a mess. The Jewish calendar seems to have kept track of the years from the time they considered that God created Adam, about 3761 years before Jesus, by their reckoning, from what I've seen on different web sites. So, Jesus may have considered that 3761 was his birth year. Don't know that he really gave it much thought. I think they were more interested in the calendar as a way to tell when their holy days were, not as indicators of history.

Since Israel was under Roman rule at the time of Jesus, they may also have paid attention to the Roman calendar for business purposes, but the Romans gave names to their years, named after the two ruling consuls at the time, not by numbers.

Answer 3

Pick a year in the current calendar that you believe was a year that Jesus was alive, and translate it into the Roman calendar year (from the year of the foundation of the city, i.e., Rome) or the Hebrew calendar. These would have been the two calendars that anyone who was aware of such things (many, fi not most, peoplle weren't) would have known at the time.

To calculate this, check the web sites below.

Answer 4

Interesting one. The Jews were not great ones for chronology. They tied lengths of kings' reigns together, ignoring overlaps on occasion. In any case, Jesus was far more concerned about time AHEAD - that he was living in the final period before the end of the world.

Answer 5

what a lot of confusion in the above articles.
There's no difficulty about this as the Jews had a calendar. All you need to know is what the Jewish year now is and take off 2,000.
My hunch is that you'd end up with something like 3,770.

Answer 6

i do not know what he thought or do I know the year he lived in , but he would of had a date and year may be a bit different to our callender.but they certainly had a callender, why would they say bc . like 2000 years before we had a calender, or is that what bc stands for and not the roman word, Christ was 33 when he got crucified for us, that i know.

Answer 7

He would have been keeping track of time using the Jewish calinder of the time. he would be living in about the years between 359 to 395. No there was no BC or AD designation.

Answer 8

Why'd he choose such a backwards time
and such a strange land?
If he would of come today he could have reached the whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication...

Answer 9

Being God, Jesus knew more than anyone what time it was. "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law" (Galatians 4:4). Ya know, timing is everything.

Answer 10
