The Roman pope changed the calendar in the 1500s, skipping ahead 13 days

It's 13 days now. In 1582 it was only 10 days.

Someone is going to read this and suppose that it's just another case of gross Papal hubris and overreach. In fact, God -- not the Pope -- made the solar year 365 days, 5 hours, and about 47 minutes. The Julian calendar assumes a solar year of 365 days and 6 hours, exactly.

Between Nicaea and 1582, that 13 minute per year difference added up such that the observed astronomical vernal equinox was occurring 10 days earlier than Nicaea put it. (More accurate observations have Nicaea being about a day late, to boot, but we still use the Nicaean date of 21 March.)

The Gregorian calendar adjusted things back to where they were at the time of Nicaea. The Julian calendar had already slipped 4 days between the Our Lord's birth and Nicaea. Christmas, at December 25th, originally fell at or almost on the winter solstice. By Nicaea, the winter solstice was more like December 21, where it is (on the Gregorian calendar) today.

It’s prophecy Campion.
Its just Daniel’s 4th Beast, and the Julian, and the Antichrist, The Papacy and Pope, doing what they were predicted to do..

Change times and law.

The very first protesters of Rome never had to live under the Antichrist Pope Gregory calendar..

The very first protesters were unapologetic about leveling the Antichrist charge against the Papacy and Pope..

Maybe they were born at the wrong time.
They should have been born today to see the fruit of the Antichrist’s calendar on time and law..

Especially the first/chief importance of the gospel.

But that’s why it says Satan deceives the whole world..

The whole world thinks today is the Father’s 6th work day.

It isn’t.
But hey,Islam and Judaism wander after Daniel’s 4th Beast and Antichrist (Papacy/Pope) too..

Awaiting the day the Light comes on and Israel relearns that Passover is the Father’s 6th work day.
And Passover is always the 14th Day.He changes not.
And the 15th is always His Sabbath.
And the 16th is always the First Work Day of the 3rd week in the Father’s calendar.
Paul’s first/chief importance of the gospel..
Passover,Unleavened Bread,First Fruits.
Instead of Satan’s false goddess frigg day, false God saturn day, and false God sun day.

Those days,the Father’s 14th,15th,16th, will be the Roman Beast and Antichrist’s false God moon day 1/17,false God tiws day 1/18, and false God woden’s day 1/19..

He changes not.
But times and law have.

Thanks to Satan, a Roman Beast and Antichrist Papacy/Pope.

And most won’t buy gold, refined by fire..

They are forced to buy and sell what Satan, the Beast and Antichrist peddle..

Prophetic..
