I don’t know of any evidence of a 360 day year ever. Some say it was 360 days before the flood but the cannot say whether it has somehow changed since then. Today we can measure the equinoxes and solstices to a few seconds, we set our clock and calendar by the movement of the sun and the earth, but to use the orbit of the earth and the orbit of the sun to get an average year simply dosen’t work.

You seem to know something of the numerical structure of scripture, look at the metonic cycle and see what numbers pop out. God did this in scripture and in creation. This is the basis of the Hebrew calendar certainly since the days of Daniel and probably since they were in Egypt.

Can you elaborate on that? Thanks.

I went to see what metonic cycle was that you referenced.

I personally only began keeping track of the moon reckoning of time sometime in 2012/2013, so not at 19 yet, like that cycle states, but I have noticed that it’s been a solid 2 out of every 3 years is 12 months long and only one is 13 months long.

So, instead of 3 years being 36 months, there is 37 months, etc.

In the counting I started with, the 13 was first, then 2 segments of 12. (13,12,12 then 13,12,12 then 13,12,12 then 13,12,12, and due for a 13 this year but that would mean a 4th winter month is to be added 12 months from now)

When I went to look at some of the people who pay attention to the barley crops and harvest this time of year in Israel, they differ, but there is some harvest ready, and the pattern He has been showing me would make a rather ‘early March Spring start not as surprising as it would to some..
But if one looks on the Pope Gregory calendar, Passover on that isn’t 13 days away like His Creation and His harvest would dictate, but about 43 days away.

I’ll stick with the pattern He showed me and see Passover is 13 days away.
And next winter would mean a 13th, and about 13 years of a cycle that I didn’t know had a name until you referenced it today.

Gracias for that..

Have no idea what part of the actual 19 I started on, but I know it’s been remarkable in predicting the 12 months vs an added 13th month.

And of course understanding how it really is remarkable that a 13th month wouldn’t seem so out of line when Christ and His 12 totaled 13..
And every day and month is all about Him and His work and His plan, and if Judeo Christianity ever finds this out this side of the Kingdom, Satan has only Islam to fool then..
