And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

Gods Calendar n Differences between our calendar (Gregorian), the Julian Calendar & the Calendar of the Bible (Hebrew).

Gods Calendar n Gregorian Calendar n n n Rule Based 12 months 365. 2425 days per year Leap year every four years The Gregorian calendar is a modified version of the Julian calendar. The only difference being the specification of leap years. The Julian calendar specifies that every year that is a multiple of 4 will be a leap year. This leads to a year that is 365. 25 days long, but the current accepted value for the tropical year is 365. 242199 days. To correct this error in the length of the year and to bring the vernal equinox back to March 21, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull declaring that Thursday October 4, 1582 would be followed by Friday October 15, 1582 and that centennial years would only be a leap year if they were a multiple of 400. This shortened the year by 3 days per 400 years, giving a year of 365. 2425 days.

Gods Calendar n Julian Calendar n n n Rule Based 12 months 365. 25 days per year Leap year every four years Julias Ceasar created the calendar in 46 B. C. as a modified form of the old Roman republican calendar which was based on lunar cycles. The new Julian calendar set fixed lengths for the months, abandoning the lunar cycle. It also specified that there would be exactly 12 months per year and 365. 25 days per year with every 4 th year being a leap year. The difference between the Julian and today's Gregorian calendar is that the Gregorian does not make centennial years leap years unless they are a multiple of 400, which leads to a year of 365. 2425 days. In other words, in the Gregorian calendar, 1700, 1800 and 1900 are not leap years, but 2000 is. All centennial years are leap years in the Julian calendar.

Gods Calendar n Hebrew Calendar n n n n Observation Based 12 Months (13 on leap years) Leap Years on every 3 rd, 6 th, 8 th, 11 th, 14 th, 17 th & 19 th of a Lunar Cycle 353, 354, 355 days per Ordinary year 383, 384, 385 days per leap year The Hebrew calendar is based on lunar as well as solar cycles. A month always starts on or near a new moon and has either 29 or 30 days (a lunar cycle is assumed to be 29 days 12 hrs 44 min, 3 1/3 sec). Twelve of these alternating 2930 day months gives a year of 354 days, which is about 11 1/4 days short of a solar year. The Hebrew calendar in the early days (ancient times) there was no formula to determine the start of a month. A new month was started when the new moon was first observed.
