The definition of year is "the period of time...in which the earth completes a single revolution around the sun, consisting of 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds of mean solar time divided into 12 months, 52 weeks, and 365 or 366 days" (American Heritage Dictionary, 2nd College Edition, 1982, 1985, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston). | ||||||

I guess I should have asked it in a more difinative way. Was the definition of a year, the same in biblical times as it is now in Webster dictionary 1982 times. And does the bible define its self in that area. Thank You | ||||||

The Biblical, or prophetic year had twelve months each of thirty days, a total of 360 days in all. See Revelation Chapters 12, and 13, where a period of three and a half years is given in three different ways firstly at Ch 12 v 6 as 1260 days, at Ch 12 v 14 as "a time, and times, and half a time.", and at Ch 13 v 5 as "forty-two months". Confirmation of this seems to be given in Genesis at Ch 7 v 11, where we are told, "in the second month, on the seventeenth day", and in Ch 8 vs 3-4, where reference is made to the seventeenth day of the seventh month, and also of 150 days, for a period of five months, I hope that this is of some help to you. ebrain. |

Hi, Edwin... What is a "prophetic year?" Where in Scripture are we instructed that such a year exists as something distinct from the normal sense of the word? In Him, Doc |
