9. When Time Changed: From 360 Days to the Divided Years – and Its Coming Restoration

I. The Days of Noah – The Original 360-Day Year

Time itself has not always been as we know it today. The year you live by — 365¼ days is divided by solar cycles and lunar months that drift — is not the same year by which Yahuwah structured His creation from the beginning. Scripture testifies that in the ancient world, the year was 360 days long — twelve perfect months of thirty days each where 30 solar days matched one lunar cycle. This is not speculation; it is written plainly in the Word.

In the days of Noah, when the fountains of the deep were broken up and the flood covered the earth, Moses gives us a precise chronological record:

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up…”
— Genesis 7:11

“And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.”
— Genesis 7:24

“And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month…”
— Genesis 8:4

From the seventeenth day of the second month to the seventeenth day of the seventh month is exactly five months. And Scripture says that during that period, 150 days passed. The math is simple and unambiguous: 150 ÷ 5 = 30 days per month. Twelve such months make 360 days in a year.

This was not merely the way Noah counted time — it was the rhythm Yahuwah Himself established at creation. It was the pattern written into the heavens: 12 months of 30 days each, orbiting in harmony, forming a perfect circle of 360 days, 360 degrees. Ancient civilisations from Babylon to Egypt echoed this same structure — their earliest calendars were built around the same 360-day year. Only later were “intercalary” days added to patch over a broken rhythm.

Even the book of Revelation confirms this original pattern. When John speaks of the final 42 months of tribulation, he also calls it 1,260 days (Revelation 11:2–3). Again, the calculation is unmistakable:
1,260 ÷ 42 = 30 days per month × 12 months = 360 days per year.

This is not poetic language — it is prophetic mathematics. The Scriptures consistently use the 360-day year as the baseline for Yahuwah’s appointed times and end-time chronology. The fact that we no longer live by that measure is not a sign of progress — it is a sign of change, a testimony to a cosmic shift that occurred when man turned from Yahuwah and He, in turn, removed His calendar from them.

Something happened between Noah’s day and ours. The solar year lengthened to roughly 365.24 days, and the lunar year shrank to 354 days. Time itself was fractured. The perfect harmony of creation’s clock was broken. And Scripture tells us why.

II. The Turning Point – When Yahuwah Hid His Calendar

The shift from a perfect 360-day year to the fractured system we know today did not happen by accident. Scripture tells us that it was an act of divine judgment — a deliberate consequence of humanity’s rebellion and refusal to keep Yahuwah’s appointed times.

From the very beginning, Yahuwah tied His calendar to obedience. The sun, moon, and stars were not merely lights in the sky — they were appointed as signs to mark His moedim:

“And Elohim said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for appointed times, and for days and years.’”
— Genesis 1:14

The heavenly bodies were created not for human convenience but to govern the rhythm of worship — to call Yahuwah’s people to meet with Him at His appointed times. But what happens when His people ignore those times and instead follow the rhythms of false gods?

What happens when instead of meeting with Yahuwah, we bring other gods in on His Holy day. It would be like being married, but instead of spending time with your partner, you spent time with another. What would you do? Divorce?

Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
— Jeremiah 3:8

Israel’s Rebellion and the Hiding of the Moedim

Time and again, Israel abandoned Yahuwah’s calendar and replaced it with man-made observances. They built altars to Baal, held festivals on days He did not command, and mixed His worship with pagan traditions. Through the prophet Hosea, Yahuwah declared His response:

“I will also cause all her mirth to cease,
Her feast days, Her New Moons, Her Sabbaths —
All her appointed feasts
.”
— Hosea 2:11

This was not Yahuwah cancelling His moedim — it was Him removing them from a disobedient people. They would still exist in His plan, but His people would no longer walk in them. The calendar itself would be obscured, hidden from those who refused to honour it.

Isaiah echoes the same judgment:

“Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste…
The earth mourns and fades away…
The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the everlasting covenant.”

— Isaiah 24:1–5

Notice the charge: they have changed the ordinance — the fixed order (ḥōq) of time and worship — and in doing so, they have broken covenant.

Jeroboam in 1 Kings 12:32–33 changed the appointed feast days and altar locations, leading Israel into sin. This was not simply about moral sin; it was about rejecting Yahuwah’s structure of time itself to worship other false gods.

Covenant Collapse – The Consequence of Forgetting His Times

The gravity of this rebellion is revealed most starkly in Leviticus 26, where Yahuwah ties Israel’s very survival to whether they keep His Sabbaths and appointed times:

“If you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments… if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant…
Then I also will do this to you… I will scatter you among the nations… and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.
Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate… as long as it lies desolate it shall rest — for the time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it.”

— Leviticus 26:14–35

This passage reveals several profound truths:

  • Forgetting His Sabbaths is covenant-breaking. Yahuwah doesn’t treat Sabbath as a minor issue — it is the sign of the covenant (Exodus 31:13). To reject it is to reject Him.
  • The land itself will expel the people if they profane His times. Israel’s exile was not arbitrary; it was because they refused to let the land rest on His Sabbaths (2 Chronicles 36:20–21 confirms this).
  • The moedim remain whether man observes them or not. Even when Israel was removed, the land kept the Sabbaths. Yahuwah’s times are eternal; man’s rebellion does not erase them.

Jeremiah issues the same warning with terrifying clarity:

“But if you will not heed Me to hallow the Sabbath day… then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.”
— Jeremiah 17:27

And Ezekiel reveals that the Sabbath was more than a day — it was the sign of who truly belonged to Him:

“Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am Yahuwah who sanctifies them. Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me… they greatly defiled My Sabbaths.”
— Ezekiel 20:12–13

The conclusion is unmistakable: to forget His Sabbaths and appointed times is to break covenant, to invite judgment, and to lose His mark upon us.

A Prophetic Pattern of Withdrawal

This hiding of His calendar is part of a larger prophetic pattern. When Adam sinned, the ground was cursed. When Israel rebelled, the Ark was hidden. And when humanity profaned Yahuwah’s moedim, even time itself was fractured.

This is why the prophet Daniel foresaw a power that would “think to change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25). This is not merely civil legislation — it is the enemy’s attempt to rewrite the heavenly order itself. And tragically, much of humanity — including much of the religious world — has gone along with it.

Yet Yahuwah’s plan has never changed. The moedim still stand. The sun and moon still testify. And in the end times, He promises that understanding of His appointed times will be restored to His people:

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
— Daniel 12:4

That restoration begins with awakening — with hearing the alarm of Yom Teruah and returning to the calendar Yahuwah wrote into the heavens from the beginning.

III. The War Over Time – How the Enemy Sought to Silence the Moedim

“He Will Think to Change Times and Laws”

The prophet Daniel warned of a power that would rise, not merely to persecute the faithful, but to wage war against Yahuwah’s very order of time:

“He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law.”
Daniel 7:25

This is not speaking of ordinary legislation. The word translated “times” is zeman (זְמַן) — the appointed seasons and sacred cycles. And law refers not to civil decrees, but to torah — Yahuwah’s divine instructions. Daniel foresaw a system that would rise to alter Yahuwah’s calendar, rewrite His moedim, and replace His commandments with its own.

That system arose — not from atheism or paganism — but from within what called itself the Church.


Rome’s Assault on the Sabbath

The first and most visible target was the Sabbath — the fourth commandment and the weekly moed that anchors Yahuwah’s calendar. It is the only commandment explicitly tied to time:

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy… the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yahuwah your Elohim.”
Exodus 20:8–10

The Sabbath is not just a day of rest; it is the sign of the covenant (Exodus 31:13) and the foundation of Yahuwah’s rhythm. To change it is to change allegiance.

By the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE, Rome began severing the faith from its Hebrew roots. Influenced by anti-Jewish sentiment and imperial policy, bishops in Rome distanced believers from the seventh-day Sabbath. In 321 CE, Emperor Constantine issued a decree mandating rest on the “venerable day of the sun,” and the Roman Church followed by declaring Sunday the new day of worship. This was not just a change of day, but a change to a new calendar.

The Council of Laodicea (c. 363–364 CE) went further, forbidding believers from resting on the Sabbath under penalty of excommunication, and thus Saturday came into the fold. A different day on a different calendar.

The fourth commandment had not changed in heaven — but on earth, a counterfeit timepiece now reigned and His Sabbaths were hidden. This was not ignorance — it was precisely what Daniel had foretold: an arrogant attempt to change Yahuwah’s times and laws.


Pagan Feasts Replacing Moedim

The war did not end with the weekly Sabbath. Rome systematically replaced Yahuwah’s annual moedim with festivals rooted in paganism.

  • Passover (Pesach), tied to the 14th day of the first biblical month, was replaced with Easter, fixed to the Roman solar calendar and merged with spring fertility rites.
  • Shavuot (Pentecost) was stripped of its harvest and covenant meaning, reduced to a mere “birthday of the Church.”

    Some of the feasts were totally forgotten:
  • Sukkot (Tabernacles) was forgotten altogether, replaced by harvest festivals like All Saints’ Day – and its no surprise given that this is the final harvest spoken of in scripture.
  • Yom Teruah (Trumpets) — once a sacred day of sounding the shofar to awaken the people and announce judgment — was silenced, replaced by no parallel in the church year.
  • Yom Kippur (Atonement) — the most solemn moed of all, a day of humbling, repentance, and reconciliation — was forgotten, its gravity replaced by penitential seasons like Lent, untethered from Yah’s calendar and stripped of its covenant context.
  • Yom HaBikkurim (First Fruits) — the feast that foreshadowed resurrection and new life — was detached from its biblical anchor and absorbed into Easter, now timed by imperial decree rather than by the Creator’s appointed rhythm.

Each of these moedim was meant to reveal Messiah’s work step by step — from Passover, unleavened bread then the resurrection (First Fruits), to warning and awakening (Trumpets), to final reconciliation (Atonement) and the time of Booths (Sukkot) and finally the time of Harvest (Shavuout).

Their disappearance from the worship life of most believers was not accidental; it was the result of a slow but deliberate shift from heaven’s calendar to Rome’s. In their place arose a liturgical year of man-made seasons and festivals, disconnected from the covenant story and often entwined with pagan symbolism and solar reckoning.

Thus Isaiah’s words echo with haunting clarity: “They have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant” (Isaiah 24:5). The times and rhythms that once synchronized worship with Yahuwah’s redemptive plan were changed, replaced by a system that obscured the divine pattern and recast sacred time according to human authority.

Through these substitutions, the prophetic rehearsal embedded in the moedim was obscured. Humanity now walked to the rhythm of Babylon, not Zion.


A War on the Heavens Themselves – Changing the Calendar

To fully erase Yahuwah’s time, Rome went beyond days and feasts — it altered the very calendar by which time is measured.

From the beginning, Yahuwah declared:

“Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven… for signs and for appointed times, and for days and years.”
Genesis 1:14

The biblical calendar is lunar-solar — its months begin with the sighting of the new moon, and its feasts are tied to that heavenly rhythm. But Rome rejected this divine design. In 45 BCE, Julius Caesar instituted the Julian calendar, a purely solar system divorced from the moon’s cycle. This was refined into the Gregorian calendar in 1582 under Pope Gregory XIII — the very calendar the world follows today.

The result? Humanity lost connection with the calendar Yahuwah established at creation. His moedim — inseparable from the new moon and the turning of the seasons — were buried under man’s system.

This was not merely administrative — it was spiritual warfare. By severing the link between heaven’s signs and earth’s worship, the enemy sought to silence the times that testify of Yahuwah’s plan.


Revelation’s Warning – All the World Follows

Revelation foresaw this global deception:

“All the world marveled and followed the beast.”
Revelation 13:3

And again:

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark…”
Revelation 13:16

This mark is not a microchip or tattoo — it is allegiance. It is whose calendar you follow, whose commandments you keep, whose appointed times govern your life. Rome’s counterfeit calendar, counterfeit Sabbath, and counterfeit feasts have become the rhythm of the nations. And most of the world — including most of Christianity — marches to that beat.


Come Out of Her, My People

Yet Yahuwah calls His people out of this system:

“Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:4

The moedim still stand. The Sabbath still sanctifies. The new moon still proclaims Yahuwah’s time. And the faithful — the remnant described in Revelation 14:12 — are those who “keep the commandments of Yahuwah and the faith of Yahushua.”

The war over time is the war over worship. To whom you yield your calendar, you yield your allegiance. And in the final conflict, the question will not be whether you believe in God — but whose time you keep.

IV. The Restoration of Time – The Remnant Who Return to Yahuwah’s Calendar

A People Who Hear the Alarm—and Change Their Rhythm

The trumpet has sounded. Those with ears to hear are not content to admire prophecy; they align their lives to it. The remnant does not merely critique Babylon—they exit her calendar. They repent of man-made time, return to Yahuwah’s moedim, and reorder their weeks by the lights He set in the heavens (Gen 1:14). This is practical repentance: Sabbath by His count, months by His new moons, years by His order.

Rome bequeathed a continuous, unbroken cycle of sevens mapped onto a solar-only year, anchored by a man-made dateline and months named for emperors and gods. Scripture reveals something else:

  • New moon restarts the count (Ps 81:3; Isa 66:23): the month begins by sighting the renewal in the heavens—not by a civil grid.
  • Sabbath is embedded in Yahuwah’s cadence, not floated on a Roman scaffold (Lev 23; Num 10:10).
  • Moedim are read from the sky-clock—sun, moon, and stars—His “signs… appointed times… days and years” (Gen 1:14).

When Israel profaned these times, Yahuwah hid them (Hos 2:11; Lam 2:6). When the little horn “thinks to change times and law,” it enthrones a counterfeit rhythm (Dan 7:25). Mainstream Christianity, tethered to Rome’s calendar and its perpetual week, says “Lord, Lord,” yet moves off-beat from the King’s time.

Measured by Scripture: The 360-Day Prophetic Year

Prophecy repeatedly weighs the end in 360-day measures:

  • “Time, times, and half a time” = 3½ years (Dan 7:25; Rev 12:14)
  • = 42 months (Rev 11:2; 13:5)
  • = 1,260 days (Rev 11:3; 12:6)

Those equivalences only harmonize on a twelve-month, 30-day month, 360-day year. Even the Flood chronology witnesses to 5 months = 150 days (Gen 7:11, 24; 8:4)—30-day months. And at the River of Life we again glimpse twelve monthly fruitings (Rev 22:2).

Why We Drifted—and Why We Return

Scripture records a historical bend in day length in Hezekiah’s sign (2 Kgs 20:8–11; Isa 38:7–8). Whether you see in that narrative a direct alteration of the daily span or a prophetic token of the concealment of time, the outcome Scripture emphasizes is this: Yahuwah withdrew His calendar from a covenant-breaking people (Hos 2:11; Lam 2:6).

The result was civil systems (later consolidated under Rome) that displaced the visible, new-moon-anchored moedim with a continuous week and paganized month-names.

The remnant discerns that this was judgment, not progress. Therefore, repentance looks like restoration.

Yahushua foretold: “Unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matt 24:22; cf. Mark 13:20). At the appointed time, Yahuwah will reset the calendar and re-synchronise the world to the prophetic count that His word already uses—a 360-day, equalized year.

What does that mean on the ground?

  • Prophetic time locks back in ( thus the 1,260 days, 42 months, 3½ years align exactly).
  • Lunar Months re-hinge to 30 days so the new moons align again, no longer to a civil dateline.
  • Sabbaths again fall within the 360 day calendar and are guarded as delight (Isa 58:13–14) instead of draped across Rome’s scaffold.

This is not human reform but divine intervention. As the end-time sequence accelerates, Yahuwah restores what He hid—so the wise can measure, watch, and obey precisely (Dan 12:4, 9–10).

When the Scripture says in Mark 13

And unless Yahuwah had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

– Mark 13:20

the reason that no flesh would be saved if he had not shortened the days, is that there would be no flesh following His commandments as we would not know where His appointed times were. Thus for the sake of the elect, the ones following His appointed times, He shortened the days.

It shows just how important his appointed times are.

Isaiah 58: It Paints the Roadmap of Restoration

Isaiah 58 sketches the order:

  1. The Alarm – Trumpets and the Cry to Return
    “Lift up your voice like a trumpet; show My people their transgression…” (Isaiah 58:1).
    The trumpet is not just sound — it is confrontation. It exposes rebellion, not only in obvious sin but in the subtler betrayal of trampling His time (cf. Daniel 8:12). To exchange Yahuwah’s signs in the heavens for man’s artificial schedule is to replace His authority with man’s rule. The shofar calls His people to repent of this transgression and return to the rhythm He established from the beginning — Sabbaths, new moons, and appointed times that still govern His covenant.
  2. The Atonement Correction – Heaven’s Pattern Restored
    Before judgment falls, the heavenly altar is prepared, incense is offered, and intercession rises — just as the high priest entered with blood on Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:12–15; Revelation 8:3–6). This is not mere ritual; it is Yahuwah’s mercy extended before wrath. But those who refuse the day He appointed — who ignore His moedim or substitute another — are cut off from that mercy (Leviticus 23:27–32). The day of atonement is His day, not ours to redefine.
  3. The Repairers Arise – Restoring the Breach in Time
    “Your people shall rebuild the ancient ruins; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In” (Isaiah 58:12).

    What is the breach though?

    The breach in time itself — the calendar torn apart, the Sabbaths trampled, the appointed times forgotten, God put aside, His commandments ignored. The restoration begins here:

    “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath… and call the Sabbath a delight…” (Isaiah 58:13–14).

    The ones Yahuwah calls “repairers” are those who restore the rhythm of His creation, the order of His time, and the sanctity of His appointed days. They are not merely keeping a day — they are aligning heaven and earth again to the King’s calendar.

But What Do The Remnant Actually Do?

  1. They keep “the commandments of Yahuwah and the faith of Yahushua” (Rev 14:12)—together, not in tension.
  2. They read the heavens as Yahuwah’s clock (Gen 1:14), honoring new moons (Ps 81:3; Isa 66:23).
  3. They guard Sabbaths as covenant sign (Exod 31:13; Ezek 20:12–13).
  4. They assemble at the moedim (Lev 23), recognizing Trumpets as alarm, Atonement as separation and sealing, and Tabernacles as dwelling restored—with Shavuot/Pentecost foreshadowing the final wheat harvest at the end (Joel 3:13; Matt 13:39; Rev 14:15–16).
  5. They separate from Rome’s perpetual week, naming the papal system’s calendar as a mechanism of domination over time (Dan 7:25; Rev 17–18), and they refuse to honour its holy days and month-gods as “sacred.”

The Witness of Hosea: Hidden—Then Betrothed Again

Hosea 2 lays out the entire story of God’s relationship with His people as a marriage that was broken and then restored. The chapter moves through a series of stages:

  1. The appointed times (moedim) are taken away because of unfaithfulness
    In verse 11, God says He will “put an end to all her celebrations: her festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths.” This is a direct consequence of Israel’s spiritual adultery — turning to other gods and corrupting His worship.
  2. God leads His people into the wilderness to win them back
    In verses 14–15, He says, “I will allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.” This recalls the Exodus, where God first made Israel His bride. The wilderness is where intimacy and dependence are rebuilt.
  3. The names of idols are removed from their lips
    Verse 17 promises that the memory of false gods “will be remembered no more.” The people are cleansed from idolatry so that their worship is pure again. This is the calendar we currently use.
  4. The covenant is renewed and the marriage restored
    Verses 19–20 describe a new betrothal: “I will betroth you to Me forever… in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.” The broken marriage isn’t just repaired — it is renewed on deeper, unshakable terms.
  5. Creation responds again — provision and blessing return
    In verse 22, the grain, new wine, and oil respond once more, symbolizing that the calendar, worship, and provision are all brought back into alignment with God’s order. The land itself becomes fruitful again as the relationship is restored.

This is not just a metaphor or theory — it is the story of a covenant marriage repaired. Hosea 2 shows how God’s remnant is purified, brought back into right relationship, and restored to the rhythm of His appointed times and blessings. It is the journey from betrayal to betrothal, from harlotry to holiness, and from desolation to abundance.

Why This Matters for Readiness

The parable of the ten virgins centers on timing and oil (Matt 25:1–13). The wise bring “reserve” oil—Spirit-empowered, practiced obedience—so their lamps burn through delay and into the midnight cry. You cannot borrow a history of obedience at midnight. Returning to Yahuwah’s calendar now is how the Bride keeps oil then. Revelation 19’s Bride “made herself ready”—how? By righteous deeds that are timed by His appointments.

Call to Action – Return to His Time

This is not a call to minor adjustments — it is a summons to repentance and restoration. The war over time is not theoretical. It is deeply personal, and it demands a response.

Repent of Borrowed Time
Acknowledge before Yahuwah the ways you have lived by borrowed rhythms — trusting the comfort of Rome’s calendar and the pride of man-made traditions instead of His appointed order. Isaiah 58:13 warns us not to “turn away our foot from the Sabbath” nor “doing our own pleasure on My holy day.” To repent is to confess that we have done exactly that — replacing His signs with human systems, and calling it worship. Return to the humility of submission, where His Word, not our convenience, orders our days.

Watch the Sky – The Clock He Appointed
The calendar of heaven is written in the heavens themselves. “Let them be for signs and for appointed times” (Genesis 1:14). These are not poetic words — they are instructions. The moedim are not marked by human calculation but by what the eyes see: the first light of the new moon, the turning of the seasons, the signs Yahuwah Himself ordained. Learn again the discipline of watching for His timepiece in the sky rather than relying on the mechanical grid of civil calendars. This is not legalism — it is covenant faithfulness.

Honor the Sign of the Covenant
The Sabbath is not merely a day of rest — it is the sign between Yahuwah and His people (Exodus 31:13). It declares whose authority we recognise. To guard the Sabbath as a delight (Isaiah 58:13–14) is to honour Him as Creator and King. Treating it as a debate, an option, or a tradition is to strip it of its power and reject its purpose. Let the Sabbath again become your joy, your mark of allegiance, your weekly covenant renewal.

Keep the Moedim – Meet Him Where He Waits
The appointed times (Leviticus 23) are Yahuwah’s invitations to meet with His people. They are not Jewish festivals, nor optional extras — they are His calendar of redemption. To keep them is to show up where and when He promises to be. To ignore them is to stand outside the door like the foolish virgins who were unprepared when the Bridegroom came. Align your seasons with His. Reorder your life around the rhythm He set from the beginning.

Endure on Heaven’s Schedule
The final events of history will unfold according to His calendar, not ours. Daniel speaks of 1,260, 1,290, and 1,335 days (Daniel 12:7, 11–12) — all based on the original 360-day year, the perfect order before sin fractured time. Yahushua Himself said the days would be shortened for the sake of the elect (Matthew 24:22). As those days approach, anchor yourself to the schedule Heaven uses. Endure in obedience to the divine timetable rather than the shifting measures of man. This is not mere chronology — it is allegiance.

The Last Word

This is not calendrical hobbyism. It is allegiance. Showing to whom you belong. The Beast marks loyalty by altered worship times (Dan 7:25); the Lamb seals those who keep commandments and testimony (Rev 14:12). The war over time exposes the war over lordship. Let the alarm of Trumpets awaken us, the atonement of that Day separate us, and the restoration prepare us—so that when the harvest sickle swings (Rev 14:15–16), we are found in His field, moving to His time as He designed.

Hosea 2:16–20 (Restoration of Relationship)

16 “And it shall be at that day,” saith Yahweh,
“that thou shalt call me Ishi;
and shalt call me no more Baali.

17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth,
and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field,
and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground:
and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth,
and will make them to lie down safely.

19 And I will betroth thee unto me forever;
yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment,
and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness:
and thou shalt know Yahweh.”

In the next article we shall speak of the times we see listed in Daniel as 1260, 1290 and 1335 days and how they fit into his Calendar and his appointed times.
