Why dont you do your own study starting at Genesis 5. Everythng you need is available to determine their birth, death, and the son that carried the generational line. Then the real questions begin like why were there no months or days given, and why the orthodox jews believe they were only in Egypt today for 215 years. Keep in mind these same jews wrote and use the Masorectic text today as all english bibles use. They dont believe their own text written about 900 AD about the years in Egypt but there is a reason they dont want it known.
My general feeling is the earth has aged a lot more than people realise
I may study the age of earth from Adam based on dates from adam,
But my heart is unsure to do so
The main reason being I could be wrong.
I love the idea of a rapture but I am afraid to do a full study à complete study of why pretribers believe what they do.
Because why
Well again I could end up believing something that may not be true.

About the premill rapture, is not the Tribulation for those who are unrighteous, but out of the tribulation there are those who will be saved and in comparison Take Hebrews 9:28---
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
This is one of the reasons I believe in a pre-mill rapture before the tribulation

my general belief is when Christ returns it will last a Thousand years, tribulation for me is allready here and has been for quite some time.
The prophecies indicate past present and future regarding tribulation.
Tribulation could have started from Adam.
The tribulation period could be 6000 years.
Jesus indicates the tribulation periods gets far worse befor his return or that Satan will be let lose.
He's been loose for quite some time
But at what date he became loose is also up for debate.

Furthermore......SUMMING the ages of the Patriarchs (except where a direct father-son relationship is noted) brings us back to about 11,000 BC for the creation of Adam.
I really do think that there are probably "gaps" in the genealogies, so it could be another 5 or 10,000 years before that. Nobody knows for sure.
Furthermore, all of the massively CATASTROPIC (and extremely RAPID at that) geological history can be very easily stuffed into
15 or 20,000 years no problem. Maybe even 11,000 years...............but that is a tight fit.
But the kicker is Genesis 1:2. The fall of Satan and subsequent war in heaven seems to have wreaked havoc on the solar system. Big time. And probably rapidly. So deducing ages based on planets, orbits, moons, asteroids and craters etc. is sheer folly. We don't know if the duration of this destructive war lasted a week or 5000 years. Or even happened at all. But I do suspect that Gen 1:2 DOES indeed indicate the fall of Satan and his host.

I would say when Jesus returns, his ministering saint will return with him.
Who are those ministering saints.
Well there's the 144000 saints in heaven
Then there's the 24 elders
If you divide 6000 by 24 elders you get 144000.
This could indicate how long the tribulation period lasts befor the return of the lord 6000 years from Adam or from when Satan was loose.

Is the Septuagint the same as the Tanakh?
The Septuagint does not consist of a single, unified corpus. Rather, it is a collection of ancient translations of the Tanakh, along with other Jewish texts that are now commonly referred to as apocrypha.
What does apocrypha mean?
apocrypha, (from Greek apokryptein, “to hide away”), in biblical literature, works outside an accepted canon of scripture. The history of the term's usage indicates that it referred to a body of esoteric writings that were at first prized, later tolerated, and finally excluded.
What is Esoteric Writings?
a personal interpretation!

here is the FACT!
in the year 1536 of Creation (2225 BCE), when G‑d first foretold the events that would come to pass.
The ark took Noah no less than 120 years to build
in the year 1656 (2105 BCE), On the seventeenth day of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, rain began to fall.
The downpour continued for forty days and forty nights
Finally, the rain subsided, but the waters continued to churn for an additional 150 days.
Finally, on the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei of the year 1657 (2104 BCE), the water completely subsided. Close to two months later, on the twenty-seventh of Cheshvan, the ground fully dried, allowing Noah and the rest of the ark’s inhabitants to emerge.
The total time Noah spent in the ark was 365 days (one solar year; one year and 11 days on the lunar calendar).
NOW, let's address another FALLACY of YOURS!
You claim Abraham is born 2322! that's because your Version of the Bible says Terah was 130 years old when Abram was born
Abraham (who was first called Abram) was born in the year 1948 after Creation (1813 BCE)
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and he begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. כווַֽיְחִי־תֶ֖רַח שִׁבְעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֨וֹלֶד֙ אֶת־אַבְרָ֔ם אֶת־נָח֖וֹר וְאֶת־הָרָֽן:

EVEN your CRAPPY Version lists this:
26 Terah was 70 years old, when he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
