It is commonly supposed that the ancient 360-day calendar is hopelessly
inaccurate. After all, has not modern science shown the number of days in a year
to be 365.2422 days, and not 360? However, such reasoning lacks
understanding as to how all calendars work. All calendars insert
leap-days or leap-months to nudge the 'normal' year closer to the exact 365.2422
year, otherwise before long the months on the calendar would be out of
synchronization with the seasons of the year. (This was a big problem in the
ancient world.)
For instance: 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."
The following is the 360-calendar at its basic
level at a glance.
The series of pages that following will explain this in detail,
and then take the reader
up the stairs of accuracy.

years with 14,610 days = 365.25 days x 40 years
Two parts to this study:
The first series of articles will show the 360-day calendar to
be at least as simple and as accurate as is our modern (Gregorian)
calendar. In
the
second part
of our discussion we will demonstrate how that the 360-day calendar is perfectly
exact.
We intend to place our feet on ground common to all calendar enthusiasts in the
first
series of articles. Nothing will be presented there that does
not employ normative procedures when making a calendar since we will restrict
ourselves to the commonly accepted 365.2422 days in a mean solar year.
(Scientists insist that accuracy beyond this level is irrelevant to any calendar
because of the slowly shortening solar year over the ages.) Nevertheless, we
will venture into the
prophetic (and speculative) element in the second part of our
investigation by increasing our precision. We will show that the average solar year
precisely measured as on Y2K (Jan. 1, 2000) was indirectly predicted by
the bible, and that it is the key that unravels the remaining features of this
most remarkable calendar. (No, this
site is NOT about the computer non-event of Y2K!
The term is simply used as a matter of convenience.)
Please note that the
first part of our
study is more objective and simpler than the second.

accuracy)
(Note: long cycles do not mean
that the earth has, or will, endure that long, although geological
ages fit our pattern perfectly and profoundly. Their purpose is to produce biblical patterns pregnant with symbolic meaning,
and to aid us in contemplating the eternal reign of Jesus the Messiah.)
Perfection!
The Eternal Calendar.
The 3840-year cycle
is more accurate than the round 4000-year cycles. However, either as 4000-year cycles that
begin from Creation (4006 BC), or 3840-year cycles that begin from the Exodus (1446 BC), the 360-calendar yields a stream of biblical numbers
that interlock with each other without conflicting with each
other.
