Do you want to know something that's amazing throughout the Bible?
All
prophecy as to
length of time
given
in God's Word concerning Satan
and the children of the night,
is
given in lunar
terminology.
All
prophecy as to length of time
given
concerning
God's children, the children of light,
is
given in solar
terminology.
Rev. 11:2
But the court which is without the temple leave out,
and measure
it not;
for it is given
unto the Gentiles:
and the holy
city shall they tread under foot forty and
two months.
So
here we see that the treading under foot of the holy city, Jerusalem,
is
42
months, moons.
But
in the next verse we see that God's two witnesses prophesy 1260
days,
which
are determined by the revolution of the sun, i.e. solar.
Rev. 11:3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore
days,
clothed in sackcloth.
Now
you might think that the time periods are exactly the same,
because
1260 / 30 = 42.
But actually they are not.
A lunar month is 29.53 days and falls short of a solar month which is 30 days.
So the two witnesses actually have more time, don't they?
God's children are always one step ahead of the serpent.
This
fact about
Lunar
time measuring 'evil'
&
Solar
time measuring 'good'
is
not only true here in Rev. 11,
it
applies to every time prophecy in the bible!
