quix, your "contributions" are valuable, if for nothing else, maintaining civility on the thread, and helping to keep our spirits warm toward one another as we study our way toward a truer understanding of these crucial prophesies in daniel. ditto dc!
in keeping with your original purpose and exhortation(s), i didnt want to tell you or anyone 'what it means'....rather, i thought if we did it together, we would find strength - a "more sureness" and confidence in the word of god, so that we could at least minimize speculation, the going off on tangents, and cut down on the time sorting through 'false pearls'. i keep thinking, HE wants us to READ and UNDERSTAND. please, none of you, reading and studying with honest and open hearts, think that your contributions are of little worth. we need each other! there's no better 'tide' for raising 'all boats' than our honest, prayerful, and thankful work here....together!
maybe you could check my math, then. ok? after all, i always thought that 2 "A's" and 2 "B's" was "ABBA"! (sorry, old swedish joke)....flood begins 17th day of 2nd month; genesis 7:11. flood ends (ark rested on ararat) the 17th day of the seventh month.... TOTAL? = 5 months. how many days? genesis 7:24; 150 days.
because time is so prominently featured in particularly daniel's visions, i think understanding this is of great importance....so, how many days are in a month? 150 divided by 5 = 30! (remember, it's biblical days, biblical months, biblical years. meaning: for the purposes of prophecy.....understanding prophecy....calculating prophetic time. - again referring to ezekiel 4:6 and numbers 14:34, or a "day" of prophetic time = 1 "year" of biblical time).
i think that a year - in the bible - comprises 12 months of 30 day months, 360 days. ok with you? LUB
Am humbled by your kind words. Thanks tons.
Dental pain meds have me drowsy but in that state, and with my flawed math skills--seems to be accurate enough for me!
Will try and check out later.
THX MUCH.
What happens about/with the 5+ extra days in the ?siderial? or orbital year???
Otherwise, seems to make enough sense to me. Will try to get to the thread this afternoon.
THX.
