How many Days are in a Year?

Well of course there are 365 days in a year, right? Nope, God doesn't go by our calendar, according to the Bible there are exactly 360 days in a year. This is a very important point to make if we are to understand end time events. Below are a couple examples of the 360 day Lunar year used in the Bible. If you are already familiar with this concept, skip this page and go on to the next.

In Genesis we see that the flood lasted for five months

Genesis 7:11 "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."

Genesis 7:24 "And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."

Genesis 8:3,4  "And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."

"Seventh Month on the seventh day" Minus "Second Month on the seventh day" equals Five Months, or

7 months
-2 months
-------------
=  5 months

"an hundred and fifty days" Divided by 5 months Equals Thirth Days in a month, or

150 Days
/ 5 months
----------
= 30 Days in a month

30 days per month * 12 months = 360 days in a year

Another example of this can be found in Revelation.

"And they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."
Revelation 13:4,5

"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." Revelation 12:6

42 Months(or 3 and 1/2 years) * 30 Days = 1260 days

More Examples?

More examples of this can be found in the Bible, but theprevious ones are two of the most popular.

Esther 1:4 talks about the six month long feast of King Xerxes which lasted for 180 days.

Daniel 7:25 talks of the times and dividing of times being three and one half years or 1260 days.
