The first of many errors

The number 15,340 lines is of paramount importance as it represents the days between the beginning of the 168-day MOT period on the day after the summer solstice in 1848 and the end of the period on the summer solstice of 2016 (168 years later).  And, as we recall, the 168-year period is 1/15th of the Biblical Great week.

My rendition of the MOT is off 1 and, maybe, 2 days (because the exact number of days in 168-year periods will vary by 1 day as a remainder related to the inexact solar period of 365.242 days).  Take the ending date of June 19, 2016 minus the beginning date of Jun 22, 1848 and you get 15,359 days.  First, the MOT you see the June 22, 1848 at the top left and June 19, 2016 at the top right:

Now the calculation of days:

If you know the mathematic mechanics of the MOT, you'll understand the implication.

I regret the error which, I expect I will find having been made in the pre 1900 period that Excel does not automatically compute and having made it necessary for me to compute manually.
