Are you absolutely certain?
Its my understanding that many of the terms form the hebrew and the greek as used in our Bible are representative of a symbolic time.
this may well be the case for the Biblical Years used in dating all things earthly.
A Day Equals One Year
The 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9:24, however, establishes a principle related to prophetic time that few completely understand. Virtually everyone acknowledges that the 70 weeks are not literally 70 weeks, but rather 70 weeks of years, or 490 years. The principle is that in Bible prophecy, you must substitute a period of a year in place of a day. This is the day=year principle. This equation is clearly established in scripture-
Num 14:34 After 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.
Im certainly no expert, but I have a hint of the symbolism based on a passage where satan visits God in heaven. It doesne seem likely as satan was cast out of Heaven.
That scripture appears to be allegorical..however its makes it no less true Spiritually!
biut back to the Biblical Years...
I havent done sufficient stidy on Times in the bible to give a definitive answer . I am basing these time possibilities on other use of symbol and allegory...all Authentic. and as true as can be but not to be read in a manner as to insist that one strip the Bible of all such instances to make it true
The MARK on the forehead and hand are great examples of allegorical speech.
the mark on the forehead is as I understand it related to what and how a man thinks...
the mark on the hand..relative to that which a man does.
Thank you.
Absolutely not, but it is still not the best argument on the table.
