The number in parentheses just after the year shows the point in the Sabbath year cycle, where (1) is the beginning of the cycle and (7) is the end, the Sabbath year.
Next is shown which planet, Jupiter or Saturn, has a triple conjunction with Regulus that year.
Next is the relationship of the point of closest conjunction to the beginning of the new year, +4 being 4 days into the new year, ‑4 being 4 days before the new year, and so on.
Then in brackets is the date of that year’s Hebrew New Year in terms of the Julian calendar.
And finally in parentheses are three Julian dates, the dates of the closest points of conjunction for each conjunction of the triple.
We’re interested in Regulus and its triple conjunctions with the planets.
One thing that’s sometimes meant by such terminology is three planets in close proximity to each other from the perspective of an observer on the earth. But this isn’t what we’re talking about here.
As the planets travel across the sky day by day and night by night, though their normal direction is from East to West, we regularly observe times when from Earth’s perspective they reverse their direction of travel across the sky.
A conjunction with a star or another planet that has recently happened can then be repeated, and then is repeated once more after the planet resumes its ordinary direction of travel, resulting in a Series of three conjunctions, a “triple conjunction.”
For this study we’ll be investigating triple conjunctions with Regulus of two of the planets – Jupiter and Saturn.

Accompanying signs
The Bible says that Jesus' death was accompanied by darkness and an earthquake.
"In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad [AD 32-33], a failure of the Sun took place greater than any previously known, and night came on at the sixth hour of the day [noon], so that stars actually appeared in the sky; and a great earthquake took place in Bithynia and overthrew the greater part of Niceaea,"
- Phlegon Trallianus records in his history, Olympiades. See John Chapman, Phlegon Examined Critically and Impartially (Cambridge University Press, London, 1734)
Phlegon was a Greek freedman who wrote his histories during the reign of Hadrian (117-138 AD). His birthplace, Tralles, was near Ephesus.
Phlegon's Olympiades are largely lost to history, but this fragment concerning the failure of the Sun is unusually well-attested. Seven ancient historians directly quote it: Eusibius, The Chronicon Alexandrinum, Syncellus, Jerom, Anastasius Bibliothecarius, The Historia Miscella and Freculphus Lexoviensis. Other ancients, such as Julius Africanus, Joannes Philoponus, Maximus, Malelas and Origen, cite Phlegon's account without quoting it.
Another historian, Julius Africanus also comments:-
"On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History [written in ~52 AD], calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun."
Africanus realized that a solar eclipse cannot occur at the time of the Passover full moon. Note that within a few decades of the start of the church, the story of Christ's death and its accompanying darkness was well known and secular Romans felt the need to explain it away.
A similar explanation by the Jews occurs in 'Acts of Pilate' (11.6), fourth century.

a strange darkness that took place in 33 A.D. which lasted for 3 hours -- from the 6th hour until the 9th hour (i.e., from
noon until 3 p.m.) at which time it became so dark that the stars came out.
The Gospels state that the sun was darkened from the 6th to the 9th hour while Jesus was being crucified.
Moreover, an earthquake took place which split rocks open and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
Phlegon of Tralles was a Greek historian who wrote a history of the world from the first Olympic games in 776 B.C. to the 229th in approximately 137 A.D. His history is called The Olympiads:
"In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad [AD 32-33], a failure of the Sun took place greater than any previously known, and night came on at the sixth hour of the day [noon], so that stars actually appeared
in the sky; and a great earthquake took place in Bithynia and overthrew the greater part of Niceaea."
There is also a Jewish account of an earthquake in 33 A.D. which damaged the temple.

The Ad 33 Date Of The Crucifixion According To Phlegon, A Secular Greek Historian
From the work of Phlegon we can work out the date of the Crucifixion.
The Crucifixion is widely reported by numerous ancient writers. However, unlike the New Testament, of which there are 25,366 early copies, many of these ancient writer's manuscripts are fragmented.
We do however have important sections of Phelgon's work, which are critical in dating the Crucifixion.
Phlegon of Tralles
Phlegon of Tralles was a first century secular Greek historian born not long after the Crucifixion. He inadvertently dated the darkness at noon on the day of Crucifixion in his work, The Olympiades.
Phlegon's greatest work was the writing of a history book, called The Olympiades. The Olympiades can be used as a useful means of establishing a time-line.
We only have fragments left to us of this monumental work and quotations of it from other writers.
One such quotation is as follows, "In the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was a great eclipse of the Sun, greater than had ever been known before, for at the sixth hour the day was changed into night, and the stars were seen in the heavens. An earthquake occurred in Bythinia and overthrew a great part of the city of Nicæa."
Africanus quoted a section of Phlegon's work as follows: "During the time of Tiberius Cæsar an eclipse of the sun occurred during the Full Moon."
We believe that the period of darkness referred to by Phlegon is the same period of darkness referred to in the New Testament, since the event is unique.
There is only one period of darkness lasting for three hours in the history of the world.
- We believe that the event referred to by Phlegon is the same event that is recorded in the New Testament.
- The timing of this "eclipse" referred to by Phlegon is similar to the event described in the Gospels.
- Thankfully we have a more detailed fragment from Phlegon's Olympiades: "In the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was a great eclipse of the Sun, greater than had ever been known before, for at the 6th hour the day was changed into night and the stars were seen in the heavens. An earthquake occurred in Bythinia and overthrew a great part of the city of Nicæa."
- We know from the Bible that on the day of Crucifixion the Sun was darkened for three hours, and there was a great earthquake.
- As explained, we believe that the darkness referred to by Phlegon is the same darkness referred to in Matthew 27:45.
- From the above statement of Phlegon we can work out the year of the Crucifixion.
The dates of the Olympic Games, recorded in Phlegon's Olympiad
In ancient Greece the Olympic Games were held in the July of the first year of each Olympiad, which was a 4 year period running from July to June of each succeeding year.
The 202nd Olympiad has been calculated to run from July AD 29 to June AD 33. The diagram below will help to clarify this.
The 202nd Olympiad Calender
Calculations for the date of the Crucifixion
- Each year of an Olympiad began on 1st July.
- We know that Jesus was crucified in the Spring, at the time of the Passover.
- Phlegon had specifically stated in his Olympiades: "In the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was a great eclipse of the Sun, greater than had ever been known before, for at the 6th hour the day was changed into night and the stars were seen in the heavens."
- Using the above information we can work out that the period of darkness occurred in 33 AD.
- We can therefore calculate with great accuracy that the three hour period of darkness, and also the Crucifixion, had to be in the Spring of A.D. 33.
- As several of the early Fathers quoted Phlegon, there seems no reason to doubt his word.
- Another historian, Philipon (with Origen), confirms the historicity of Phlegon's statement by writing, "And about this darkness - Phlegon recalls it in the Olympiads...Phlegon mentioned the eclipse which took place during the crucifixion of the Lord Christ, and no other (eclipse), it is clear that he did not know from his sources about any (similar) eclipse in previous times ...and this is shown by the historical account of Tiberius Caesar."
- Therefore the year of the crucifixion is A.D 33.
Conclusion
There is more historical evidence to support the three hour period of darkness, and therefore of the Crucifixion, in 33 AD than almost any other ancient event in history!
The Crucifixion is widely reported by numerous ancient writers. However, unlike the New Testament, of which there are 25,366 early copies, many of these ancient writer's manuscripts are fragmented.
We do however have important sections of Phelgon's work, which are critical in dating the Crucifixion.

Earthquake Data Confirms Holy Friday As A Very Supernatural Day
04/22/2011 12 COMMENTS
The events surrounding the crucifixion of Christ have puzzled scholars for millennia. Is there evidence to corroborate the supernatural events described in the Gospels? This presentation will demonstrate that indeed there are multiple lines of corroborating evidence. The first task of determining the exact date for the death of Jesus is problematic. There are good arguments for both 30 and 33 AD. Luke places the beginning of Jesus’ ministry shortly following John the Baptists’ during “the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius” (Lk 3:1
). Augustus died in AD 14 and was succeeded by Tiberius.[1]A straight forward reckoning would place Jesus’ baptism in AD 29. However, many scholars believe that Luke may have Tiberius’s reign from the time when Augustus raised Tiberius to be coregent in AD 11.[2] Thus, we arrive at a date of AD 26-27 for Jesus Baptism.

However, many scholars believe that Luke may have Tiberius’s reign from the time when Augustus raised Tiberius to be coregent in AD 11.[2] Thus, we arrive at a date of AD 26-27 for Jesus Baptism.
To determine the length of Jesus’ ministry John’s gospel is the most useful. John mentions at least three Passovers during Jesus’ ministry (John 2:23; 6:4; 12:1).[3] This infers a bare minimum of two years. There is an unnamed feast in Jerusalem which many commentators believe to be a fourth Passover (Jn. 5:1).[4] This appears plausible because the Passover in John 2:23 occurred in the spring, hence the soon harvest in John 4:35 indicates 9 months had passed. John also mentions events in Galilee preceding the Passover mentioned in John 6:4.[5]This leads us to postulate a three year ministry.

John also mentions events in Galilee preceding the Passover mentioned in John 6:4.[5]This leads us to postulate a three year ministry.
Thus we can infer a date of AD 30 or 33 depending on how one reckons Tiberius’ fifteenth year. This is supported by Luke’s assertion that Jesus was about thirty years of age when he began his ministry (Lk. 3:23) given a 5-4 BC birth. Still yet, because his death was on the Friday day of Preparation (Mk 15:42) and the month of Nisan was based on the New Moon, we can derive two possible dates Nisan 14 or 15. Those days possibly fall on Friday in either AD 30 or 33. Hence, the two most probable dates are Nisan 14 (April 3), AD 33, and Nisan 14-15 (April 6- 7), A.D. 30.[6] Perhaps we can find other evidence which will favor one date over the other.

Hence, the two most probable dates are Nisan 14 (April 3), AD 33, and Nisan 14-15 (April 6- 7), A.D. 30.[6] Perhaps we can find other evidence which will favor one date over the other.
With the dramatic events described one wonders if there is any extrabiblical evidence in the historical record. There is more than you might expect. Phlegon of Tralles was a Greek writer and freedman of the emperor Hadrian, born about A.D. 80 and wrote in the 2nd century AD. The ancient Greeks calculated dates based on their Olympic games every four years. His chief work was the Olympiads, an historical compendium in sixteen books, from the 1st down to the 229th Olympiad (776 BC to AD 137), of which several chapters are preserved in the historian Eusebius’ Chronicle. The early church fathers were well aware of Phlegon’s writings and used his history in their apologetics.
The historian Eusebius quoted Phlegon directly in his chronicles:
Indeed Phlegon, who is an excellent calculator of olympiads, also writes about this, in his 13th book writing thus:However in the fourth year of the 202nd olympiad, an eclipse of the sun happened, greater and more excellent than any that had happened before it; at the sixth hour, day turned into dark night, so that the stars were seen in the sky, and an earthquake in Bithynia toppled many buildings of the city of Nicaea.[7]
The fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad ran from summer of 32 to summer of 33 AD because the first Olympiad occurred in 776 BC. Hence, Phlegon’s history favors the 33 AD date. Furthermore, Origen confirms the existence of this data in his debate with the skeptic Celsus:
He [Celsus] imagines also that both the earthquake and the darkness were an invention; but regarding these, we have in the preceding pages, made our defense, according to our ability, adducing the testimony of Phlegon, who relates that these events took place at the time when our Savior suffered.[8]
Julius Africanus further refers to the writings of historian Thallus who wrote concerning the possibility of a solar eclipse:
This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun. For the Hebrews celebrate the passover on the 14th day according to the moon, and the passion of our Saviour falls on the day before the passover; but an eclipse of the sun takes place only when the moon comes under the sun. And it cannot happen at any other time but in the interval between the first day of the new moon and the last of the old, that is, at their junction: how then should an eclipse be supposed to happen when the moon is almost diametrically opposite the sun? Let that opinion pass however; let it carry the majority with it; and let this portent of the world be deemed an eclipse of the sun, like others a portent only to the eye. Phlegon records that, in the time of Tiberius Cæsar, at full moon, there was a full eclipse of the sun from the sixth hour to the ninth—manifestly that one of which we speak. But what has an eclipse in common with an earthquake, the rending rocks, and the resurrection of the dead, and so great a perturbation throughout the universe? Surely no such event as this is recorded for a long period. But it was a darkness induced by God, because the Lord happened then to suffer.[9]
As Africanus realized, a solar eclipse concurrent with a full moon is a scientific impossibility. In response to this, the christian apologist Tertullian understood this as how those ignorant of Christ explained the mysterious darkness:
In the same hour, too, the light of day was withdrawn, when the sun at the very time was in his meridian blaze. Those who were not aware that this had been predicted about Christ, no doubt thought it an eclipse. You yourselves have the account of the world-portent still in your archives.[10]
Tertullian was confident that the reports were available in the archives, yet he does not think it necessary to view the darkness as an eclipse. Indeed an eclipse was simply the first century skeptics attempt to explain away the supernatural events surrounding Jesus death. While it is nice to have these ancient confirmations I wondered if there was anything modern science might reveal. Indeed there are surprising confirmations.
The Israel Exploration Journal published by the institute of archeology at the Hebrew University published an article “Earthquakes in Israel and Adjacent Areas: Macrosismic Observations since 100 BCE.” On page 265 they list a slight earthquake in Jerusalem in AD 30 and one in AD 33 which affected Judea, Jerusalem including damage to the temple![11]
Indeed it appears scientific analysis has corroborated the Biblical account. There was indeed an earthquake in Jerusalem, one which even damaged the temple. Does this prove the account in the Gospels? Well to claim proof might be too strong… but given the evidence it sure does make putting your trust in Jesus seem like a reasonable proposition. The Bible tells us that all have fallen short of God’s righteous standard. But, “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”” (Ro 10:9-11)
