- You must have missed my original posting when I pointed out that the
- Genesis Flood Record uses 360 day years. Also the Jewish calendar was
- not given until the exodus so what need did God have for such a calendar?
-
- The switch from 360 to Jewish is important in understanding my proof no 4
- which is Elijah's teaching that Messiah would come at the 4,000 th year.
