The 360-Day Prophetic YearA big part of what I present and the details of the dating of things deserves an explanation and I know many Christians want to see just how valid the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies could be. If you haven't read them yet, don't leave and keep reading. It will give you the answers to the valid questions you will have when studying it. This is a pretty short and sweet introduction to the details of why the 70th week of Daniel is 2520 days long, which is seven 360-day years as opposed to our current 365.2422-day year. How and why did it change? This answers the questions Biblically. Enjoy your journey and always hold to Acts 17:11 with Yeshua and His Word as your guide. The 360-day Prophetic Year In the Books of Daniel, Revelation, and Genesis Backup from Prophetic Technology
In verse 6 above, the time given is 1,260 days. But in verse 14, the time given is described as a time, times and half a time. This is most often interpreted as 3 and one-half years or 42 months. So verses 6 and 14 as noted above yield a 30-day month. Twelve months of 30 days equals 360-days in a prophetic year. The answer is that the Bible has been written with a "PROPHETIC YEAR" defined as 360 days in length. This is only applied to biblical prophecy. And it is important that to attain the 360-day year, you must let the Bible interpret the Bible.When 1,260 Days = a time, times and half a time In the Book of Daniel
Daniel 12:7 In both Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 12:7, the time given is described as "a time, times and half a time". This is most often interpreted as 3 and one-half years or 42 months. When the prophecy of the 70-weeks is interpreted using the 360-day prophetic year, divine guidance appears to be revealed in human events from ancient history into the 21st century. In each 42-month period foretold, the earth is to be directed by unrestrained evil. The 360-day year makes for a good relationship between the books of Daniel and Revelation.Genesis Supports the 360 Days per Year Based on the book of Genesis, the calendar at the time of Noah consisted of 12 months of 30 days. At the beginning of the flood, the water came forth on the 17th of the month. Five months later on the 17th day of the month, the book of Genesis reveals that 150 days had passed. Dividing 150 days by 5 months supports that the early calendar contained 12 months of 30 days length. Therefore, the book of Genesis supports the 360 days per year calculation. Here are the supporting Scriptures. Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened Genesis 8:3 Since the book of Genesis is attributed to Moses by conservative scholars, it is credible that the 360 days per year was in use at the time of Moses. Egyptian Calendar used the 360 Days per Year The Egyptian calendar used at Elephantine, Egypt in the 5th century BC consisted of 12 months of 30 days length. However, in the 5th century BC, the Egyptians knew this was not acceptable and simply added and additional 5 leap days each year. So the total calendar year was 365 days in length in the 5th century BC. But it is important to understand that the initial Egyptian calendar was most likely based on 12 months of 30 days length for a total of 360 days per year. When Moses led Israel out of Egypt, it was the 15th century BC, or about 1,000 years before the calendar used at Elephantine, Egypt. It is assumed that the use of the 365 days per year Egyptian calendar began in the 8th century BC. The foundation of 12 months of 30 days length in the Egyptian calendar infers that a 360 days per year calendar was in use in ancient history before 1000 BC. 360 vs. 365: Fact or Fiction backup by Guy Cramer
