Thanks for the postings
I’m not saying anything that has been posted here isn’t true or accurate, it’s just for the sake of a unproven theory I have. In the case of time, times and a half there might be more to it then meets the eye, so to speak. In other words what if one looks outside the box on this one?
Oh yea a week as 7 years was also used when Jacob discussed his time working for his uncle with his uncle.
As I understand it the only "time" in scripture might be Adam to the flood. From one man to one man, hence like a year the earth returns to where it or the year started from.
The flood was 1656 years from Adam if you multiply that by 3.5 puts you in the Hebrew calender year of 5796 which is 2036 in Gregorian. That in and of itself means little if anything. It was a curiosity on my part more than anything. Russian (Gog or Magog don’t remember) scientists were expressing concern about an asteroid "Apophis" that will spend 7 years in this solar system a they expected it to possibly reek havoc on the earth. And was it said "all these things shall be finished." also if you have noticed, the last notable effort and efforts in space have been focused on things like landing on asteroids and the study thereof, and Russia is the main force these days in recent space efforts. Also in some Rabbinical circles its generally thought of that when the nations war against the heavens, its over, the end time is here.
Though yes it could be just a brain fart, but that’s two things. I haven’t found a third affirmation or thing that just might make this genuine, rather than a theory. Though one could say in this case this means 3.5 years but then why the choice of a Hebrew word that translates to time when the word year and whatever Hebrew text that translates to "year" in English is all over the Bible?
And as far as the wording in revelation in respect to time, times and a half, who is the woman? It doesn’t say Israel, or Mary, or really anyone in particular. But the Lord did say this back then in
Gen:3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
And after these things Gen:3:20: And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Eve didn’t have the name "Eve" before Gen:3:20, she was "Woman" as Adam called her
Gen:2:23: And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
And we know Satan has been trying to stop the fulfillment of the Word of God in the world ever since. I mean the first two child, the one kills the other. And it hasn’t stopped since.
