Day for a year

[winslow]

Am currently reading up on the day for a year principle of biblical prophetic interpretation and came accross some interesting texts. There are many texts in the OT that give example that the people of the OT times understood this principle. I would like to share 1 I found from the OT and 1 from the NT. Comments will be greatly appreciated.


Gen 29:26 And Laban said, It is not done this way in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.
Gen 29:27 Fulfill the week of this one and we will also give you this other one, for the service which you will serve with me, yet another seven years.


Here Labon is telling Jacob that after he completes the first week (actually 7 years he labored) he shall marry Leah, then after a second term of seven years he shall marry Rachel.



Luk 13:31 In the same day, certain Pharisees came saying to Him, Go out and go on from here, for Herod desires to kill you.
Luk 13:32 And He said to them, Going, say to that fox, Behold, today and tomorrow I cast out demons and I complete cures, and the third day I am being perfected.
Luk 13:33 But today and tomorrow and on the following day I must travel on. For it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.

Verse 32 is an obvious reference to the cross, it seems that verse 33 Jesus is equating the three days to His earthly ministry, which was 3 years.



Thease two examples appear to me to be clear examples of where a day = a year.

Any comments?

I recommend Dean Coombs.

He has a "Day for a year" principle through-out the whole history of the earth.




Gen 29;27
Fulfill the week
i think this "week" was the wedding celebration of a literal 7 days.



The Jews and Christians have a tradition:
Creation was 6000 years ago.
Abraham was 4000 years ago.
jesus was 2000 years ago.
Christ will Return now.
A literal 1000 years is in our Future (the Millenial Reign of Christ).

The Creation week was a literal 7 days.

Day for a thousand years.
6000 years of past history = the first 6 days of the Creation week.
A Day of rest = the Mill Reign


*********
In Daniel, a "week" is 7 years.
the "weak" is literally "7".

There are more blatant uses of Day for a Year, although the ones you have quoted are pretty good.
Numbers 14:33-35 (King James Version)

King James Version (KJV)


33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
34After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
35I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.


AND this one

Ezekiel 4:5-7 (King James Version)

King James Version (KJV)


5For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.

The layout you show is very interesting, but a couple of things have troubled me about this calendar of events.
From Adam (creation, fall or death) to Abraham is 2000 years. Is this to the call of Abraham, the sacrifice of Isaac, or the death of Abraham? There are many years difference between each.
There is 2000 years from Abraham and Jesus.
Is this til the birth of Jesus, His baptism or His death? Again several years difference
The difference in times will add a lot of difference to the time of the return of Jesus.
I do not dispute the calendar; just wonder which points in each life to take the reference from.

Very interesting, Ive never heard about that before...

 

[bigdAddyweAve423]

This is a very interesting topic.......I would add this....

2 Peter 3:8
"But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. "

If you look at the whole context of the verses before & after verse 8, Peter appears to be talking about the Coming day of the Lord & God's timing.

I would also give you:

Pslam 90:4
For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.

God Bless!!

Let us not forget when we talk about the year... which is the biblical year....

In our modern calendar, a 'normal' year has 365 days, with every 4th year having 366 days. In the modern Hebrew calendar, a 'normal' year has 354 days, but upon every 2 or 3 years a leap month is added with 384 days in that year. Likewise, the 'normal' 360-day year of the Prophetic Calendar adds a 30-day leap month at regular intervals, with that year having 390 days. All three of these calendars are about the same in accuracy over relatively short periods of time. However, the 360 Prophetic Calendar soon shows itself wonderfully supreme in every way, as it spans and divides time into biblical generations of 40 and 100 years, and biblical ages of 4,000 and 100,000 years; with the biblical principle of a 7th-day rest woven throughout. Moreover, the constant use of multiples of 360 years in keeping with 360 days enforces the biblical concepts that, "a day is as a year," and also, "a thousand years is as a day."

 

[visionary]

Please note..... To match the currently commonly used gregorian calendar 365.25 level of accuracy, the 360-prophectic calendar of 12 months of 30 days must simply count out 6 years before an extra month of 30 days is accumulated.

In 6 years there would be 360 x 6 days = 2160 days, plus a leap month of 30 days more = 2190 days.

Maybe if we had used the biblical calendar we would not have warmer Christmas and colder Valentine's. Have any of you noticed how winter comes later and later in the year? They say that they need to correct the gregorian calendar but so far no one (not at the United Nations level) has done more than mention it's need.

Abram didn't become Abraham until Gen 17 when he was circumcised. Circumcision was the sign of the Covenant to make of Abraham a nation, Israel. There was 430 years from Moses to Abraham. Its interesting that the first giving of the Abrahamic Covenant in Gen. 15 was made by God with Abram, the Gentile from Ur of the Chaldeas. The ceremony preformed in Gen 15 was a Chaldean rite of contract or cutting covenant and was preformed by God alone. Regardless of what Abram did, God swore by contract to fulfill the covenant alone. It depended entirely on God. Usually both parties walked between the animals. In this case it was God alone that walked between them. This gives a better understanding of why Abraham is considered both the father of the Gentile believers and the Jewish believers as in Romans 4:10-14. The Law which was given 430 years later didn't supercede the Abrahamic covenant Gal. 3:17

Another thing to consider is that sometimes 'week' does not mean week in the Hebrew but an increment of 7 years called a heptad as in Daniel 9.
