asked on

is there any evidence that Bible (Tanach) support a calendar with 360 days years?

I'd like to know whether there is in any part.
My ask is because of this christian prophecy:

Yeah, it is very strange.

It seems that the prophecy was prepared by christian religion, but it is a superficial view on this.

Let's wait another opinion on that.

thanks for you comments

The actual scriptures of Daniel are there, in the original Hebrew manuscripts. The Christians did not tamper with it. Just some sects of Christians may have mis-interpreted the 70 years to be a non-contiguous period of time. All this points to the first advent of the Messiah Jesus Christ.

If the Jewish calendar is based on the Babylonian calendar in that link, then it doesn't mattter if a year is 360 days or 22 days, a year is one full trip around the Sun, which back then may have been around 364 days, but even then it doesn't matter, becuase nobody is counting days, they are counting years. I had heard a theory that they went by moons until the 49th year of Jubilee then adjusted it by adding 5 days. I haven't had a chance to check into it, but I'm studying eschatology, and I am a conservative fundamental Christian.
