I think even our wildest imagination falls far short of picturing what eternity will be like. We know that we will eat of the tree of life, and it's fruit will be the most delicious thing we ever tasted. In fact I think that our senses will be perfected and glorified too, so tasting will be a whole new experience, it won't be like we taste things now, we can only imagine!

Thank you for the link to the book.
Brenda did a good job arranging verses and prophecies into a logical presentation.
While, I too am hopeful this is the year - I am very leery of predicting dates. One issue that arises when performing date calculations is that fact there have been multiple calendars over the years. Even the Torah calendar website mentions issues with it's dates.
For example, the biblical year is 360 days long, while as we all know there is 365.242 days in a solar year. Today we use leap days to keep in sync, whereas other cultures came up with varies ways to determine the days. At one time in the pass - was a solar year 360 days long? Is the feast days of God, currently as determined by varies websites correct, or has their varies corrections compromised them?
Another issue with "dating" is the Jubilee year.... There has never been an official Jubilee year celebrated (reason why the Babylon captivity). True, I am floored by the 1917, 1967, 2017 alignments as anyone else ... And could see these as true Jubilee years, but at best these are only speculations that may or may not pan out.

I've always wondered about the biblical year. It does seem pretty clear that prophetic "times" or "years" are 360 days each as that is the day count used in Daniel and Revelation.
However, the biblical year per Leviticus was synced with the seasons. That would mean it had to be closer to the modern solar year, which is why the Jews had an intercalary month.
It's almost like God established a regular seasonal, agricultural year for living, but a prophetic year for pinpointing dates far in the future.

Yes, I see that God is ALL about cycles. Different things have different cycles...A day is 1000 years and 1000 years as a day. We do not know all his cycles and timings- we only know some. I can only watch for the things he told me to. We are to watch, yet trust and be patient, not losing hope, waiting day by day for 'actual' fulfillments.

I personally suspect the earth had a 360-day year prior to the flood. Ancient Babylon, Egypt, Israel, etc. used the 360-day year.
Now--if I'm right about that, it means the Great Pyramid was not built before the flood, unless God Himself gave them the exact precision of the alignment to compensate, even for the change of days after the flood.

The 360 day year has always bothered me, as has already been pointed out many cultures had an 360 day calendar. In one of his videos, Chuck Missler even pointed out that 360 is very prominent in mathematics- especially in trig!
Was it the flood that changed things, or was it when the land divided?
Things like the selection of the lamb on Nissan 10, the sacrifice of the lamb on 14th, Christ burial on 15th Unleavened Bread (which was a High Sabbath), with the resurrection happening on the 17th (First Fruits) - is totally Mind blowing......
Other things are so beyond my comprehension that, I must accept it as things I will not know here and now.....
One of those just happens to be the 360 day year - just seems it had to mean something- but it does not mean something now, or we simply do not understand it now.

Welcome, kjs! These numbers are mind-boggling, aren't they?
I've been wondering if God will return the earth to a 360-day year when He sets up His kingdom, or during the course of the Trib.

Gary,
Doesn't Sam F. explain some time changes according to eras, in the woman of revelations 12 videos? His numbers exactly matched the times of the events in the skies perfectly, even bringing it through the times ..

He has a YouTube channel called FisherMan I believe that might have it. |

I'm not real mathematically savvy, but what he was saying looked good!

Thanks for the link to the paper....
If I understood him correctly (and I could be way off in that understanding)
He is saying Enoch had 364 day year, yet Noah had a 360 day year....
Considering that Noah was part of Enoch's line - that would suggest Noah was use to both sets of days per year......

It is somewhat confusing. But if he's right that the actual time the earth would take to revolve around the sun did not change, then all the astronomical calculations would still be the same as far as things happening all in the same year as previously thought--ie, the year count would still be the same.
