1 Samuel 30:13

[rstrats]

The Egyptian slave said that he had taken ill 3 days ago. If it had been a Thursday when he made the comment, on what day was he taken ill?

That would depend on how one counts and what time of the day it happened.


If, like the Hebrews your day starts in the evening, and the event was on Thursday in the afternoon (which for them would be considered "Wednsday") then it could be (our) Friday
If you include any part of the day of the event and the current day it could be Saturday
If you are counting literally 72 hours and the event happened at one o clock in the morning,
It could be Sunday
If you are counting only "days" of which it is daylight hours (and the event happened in the evening) it could be Monday
If you were Jewish and counting full working days it could be Tuesday
If you by "days" you are referring to full western working days it could be Wednesday

JehovahsWitness,
re: " That would depend on... what time of the day it happened."

Let's say it was between noon and 1 pm on Thursday (i.e., the 5th calendar day of the week).

Pretty much most of the above still applies. It would still depend on how one was counting...

The Egyptian slave said that he had taken ill 3 days ago. If it had been a Thursday when he made the comment, on what day was he taken ill?

… And he said, “I am a young man of Egypt, a servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind when I fell sick three days ago. …

It shouldn't be that hard. If he had said, "my master left me behind when I fell sick one day ago", we would have no difficulty determining that he meant Wednesday. If he had said, "my master left me behind when I fell sick two days ago", he clearly meant Tuesday. So when he says, "my master left me behind when I fell sick three days ago", he means Monday.

(The Solstices and Equinoxes happen at the same time of the Year, this has been happening for at least 10,000 or so years, since that figure is connected to a global cataclysm..................That is an absolute Figure, the constellations shifted due to precession, sure, but the time of the year, the exact and precise day the Solstices and Equinoxes happen has not changed)

Our Calendar Systems are inaccurate, so you must take the daily average, over a few years to find the absolute figure. Lets take the Equinox if March. It happens on a Monday, forget that)

Flight 370? The Question of the Day and the Hour

Flight 370 went missing on a Tuesday ... 8/18/2017 = "Three Days from Tuesday" for 1260 Days or 42 Months of Revelation, both equal 8/18/2017 on a Friday.

8/18/2017 for Three Days of Darkness = 8/21/2017 on a Monday for 150 Days of Star Wormwood.

(1 Samuel 30, we do see the phrase "Three Days and Nights" explained to us as a literal "Three Days Only".......................God uses the figure of "Three Days and a Half" in Revelation to identify with the division of the Day Cycle so that is a parable, and a literal 42 months, half of seven, and 3 Days. Love and Blessings (What my father began to do to me under the Authority of Pope John Paul II has caused what happened with that plane in 1985, and what the USA's church and state has done to me has caused 9/11, its time for billions to pass way, this will have very soon, with no warning, no nothing).

(King David is also associated with Babylon the Fig Leaves, not the Two Witnesses, we this recurring in the gospel, they want to die blind and dumb, using force against the Antichrist completes their accusation against God, let it happen)

cbullion,

Do you agree with McCulloch?

Does anyone know what JehovahsWitness is saying? I don't see how Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday can even be in the running.

The Hebrew counting of days is not like the way we count days. Today, our days end and begin at 12:00 AM. Days for the Hebrews began and started at sunset. So if an event, such as being sick started let say Wednesday before sunset and lasted through the sunset of that day, though only a few hours had past the event can be considered to have happened on two days. Wednesday (when it started before sunset) and Thursday (after sunset, when it ended). That Thursday would have lasted until sunset the next day. If the sickness persisted through sunset on Thursday, then Friday would be counted too. So now there are 3 days.

Many people get hung up on a day ending at midnight, but that is not how days were kept in the ancient world. Back then, a full day included one full passing of night followed by a full passing of day. Unlike today where it's a full passing of the sun is between two halves of night time. When we read Bible accounts where days are involved it's easy to forget they didn't count days like we do. So we try to implement our time on their experience and something doesn't add up quite the same.

cbullion,

Do you agree with McCulloch?

(N0) Monday begins the Equinox of March, thats probably where his conclusion originates...............that is "Intelligent Design"....................God has illustrated a specific date according to his activities, then that would have to "Flight 370" as the 42 Month Marker, add three days to that you arrive at the 1260th day, which is also 3 Days from Tuesday, for a week day of friday.

The Argument, of the "week day" is simply to finite to be of any real value, the gospel is clear about the association of "Three Days of Darkness" or "Three Days" to represent the division of ISREAL/Believers (Those which are caught up to heaven when Jesus takes up the "Two Witnesses", before those which are left behind are judged).
