Creation

creation writes:"Revelation 11:2a-3b
They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. ...And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days
Divide 1,260 days by 42 months and you will get a 30-day month. Twelve months of 30 days equals 360-days in a year. What is the meaning of this divine number in contrast with the fact that we know the time required for the earth to circle the sun is approximately 365.25 days?

creation writes:Daniel 7:25
He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a timeDaniel 12:7
The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time"
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.

creation writes: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 openedGenesis 8:3
The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days (150 days)the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month (5 months later)the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat

ICANT writes:There is no evidence of a actual physical year of 360 days in the distant past. Just like there is no evidence of a actual physical year of 365.25 days in the distant past.

ICANT writes:... the Hebrew text of the Bible suggests there was a duration of indefinite existence that light existed without an interruption of darkness.

creation writes:You are not in a position to say the calendar God used in Gen was not accurate for that day.

creation writes:A prophetic year is basically a real year in the future.

creation writes:It is also the way God counts time here, since it was that way and will again be that way one day.

creation writes:Hope you didn't think the 365 day year was here for long.

creation writes:Both the future and the past have 360 day years

creation writes:So if there was a change in rotation, what evidence would it leave? For example, could it cause plates to separated and subduct and mountain building?

ICANT writes:It is pigment so it don't wash off. It has to wear off.

ICANT writes:A year is a artificial name given to the duration it takes for the earth to make a complete revolution around the sun....The length of a year can change.
The length of a day can change.
The length of duration can not change.The only thing that can change is the length between events in duration.That is the reason time is a concept developed by mankind to measure the duration between events in eternity.

ICANT writes:You do realize mankind is the ones saying how many days are in a year.They are only trying to match reality.

ICANT writes:What I am saying is that mankind is the one who determines the length of duration between events in existence. And we devised a pretty good system to do that.

creation writes:Too bad the founts of the deep had ebbs and flows you may confuse for tides eh?

creation writes:Hey, we don't know if there were oceans or not. There were seas.

creation writes:The distinction being oceans are huge. Seas can be smaller.

creation writes:But even if there was a big land mass surrounded by what we would call an ocean...

creation writes:... a lot more water was introduced to the surface of earth.

creation writes:Even assuming, as I do, that the high mountains were caused by post flood mountain building...

ICANT writes:I am going to remember that the next time you argue the other side with me.

creation writes:It is not unscriptural to suggest that a lot of upheaval, continental separation along with mountains being pushed up, happened after the time of the flood actually.

creation writes:There were conduits in heaven called windows of heaven. Many think that these transported water from beyond where the stars end (the firmament where stars were placed and made) to earth!

ICANT writes: The water was gathered to one place which left some dry land not islands as ringo would have us to believe.
