BTW others sometimes adjust to 364 days, not your 360, since that was used by the Essenes in antiquity, having exactly 52 weeks and thus 4 quarters of 13 Sabbaths each...
But hey, I hope you are right, for if so then I might be able to live to see it all work out!
First, I have seen the date of the construction of the Dome of the Rock vary, from 685 to 691, so let us not rule out any of those years as possible years of it's placement or even of the first stone laid there. Keep those years in mind as you read on.
I'm using 360 as the number of days in a biblical year because it is encoded in both Revelation and Daniel. 1260 years, 42 months, a time, times and a half. (3 and a half times) So 1260 days divided by 42 months gives a 30 day month..... 1260 divided by 3.5 = 360...which gives me the biblical unit of a year. That is why I believe the "biblical" unit of a year is 360 days. I use the scriptures to understand the scriptures. It is because our times and laws have changed that we have to do the math to get to the right number of years to see when the abomintation of desolation was to be placed on the Holy Place, and when it will all be "taken care of by the Blessed One".
Today we have a 365 day year, with a leap year (additional day added) every 4 years, hence the average year is 365.25 .
so 1290 X 360 biblical years = 464400 days, divided by 365.25 modern years gives 1271.46 years or 1271 years, 5 months
and 1335 X 360 biblical years = 480600 days, divided by 365.25 modern years gives 1315.81 years 1315 years, 9 months (rounding up, make it close to 1316)
So hoping not to sound redundant, but to present the significance of the years to the Dome of the Rock, and given the delicate, even explosive situation in the Middle East right now,
Lets take 685 - 691 for the date of the placement of the first stone for the Dome (even though we don't know exactly, so lets keep that range)
685- 691 plus 1271 equals the years 1956-1962 1956 is the year of the start of the Suez/Sinai war between Israel and Egypt
685-691 plus 1316 equals the years 2001 to 2007
"...They may also reach other points, from other starting points, with respect to other prophetic and eschatological fulfillments than the one being pursued here. "
Very Interesting that you said that. Although I don't know the exact year of the Savior's crucifixion, again, there are many theories, I will use 29 AD to start counting the same 1271 years just to show something else that could be significant...
29 AD plus 1290 (which is really 1271) = 1300 AD, the year history says the Ottoman Empire was begun, and its first Sultan, Osman Khan Ghazi was seated in power. (Ghazi means conqueror)
and going forward from the setting up of the abomination of desolation in 685 thru 691 (or so) 1335 biblical years (1316), we come to the year 2001 thru 2007.......
My point is, if 2007 turns out to be the year it falls, then we have a fulfilled prophecy! can I hear an amen
Oh, and did you hear the one about the 666 years from the Messiah's crucifixion? Use 29 AD again, and apply the calculation on the 666, 666 X 360 = 239760 days, divided by 365.25 = 656.4
Add 656 years to 29 AD, and you have: 685...hmmmmmm
