I believe that on “Day One” of the 7 Year Tribulation Period two major astronomical events will occur:
1. The earth’s orbital speed will increase resulting in a return to the ancient 360 day calendar year.
(7 yrs x 360 = 2520 days of Tribulation)
2. The moon’s orbital speed will slightly decrease resulting in a return to the ancient 30 day calendar month.
(12 months x 30 days = 360)
In the past God has; a) stopped the earth’s spin (Joshua’s long day) and
b) reversed the earth’s spin (Ahaz’s sundial), so the following is not beyond reason.
At the mid-point of the 7 Year/2520 day Tribulation Period:
The earth’s rate of spin will increase substantially resulting in a shorter 16 hour day for the 2nd half of the Tribulation Period (1260 days)
Rev 8:12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck,
a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened.
A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
The day will become ⅓ shorter during the “Great Tribulation” (the final 1260 days).
24 hrs minus 8 hrs results in a new 16 hr day.
God will do this to preserve the lives of His elect who will enter into the 1000 year Millennial reign of Christ.
Matthew 24:22 “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved;
but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.”
Mark 13:20 “And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved;
but for the elect's sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.”
Today(before the Tribulation) 3.5 years equals 30,681 hours
(3.5 x 365.25 x 24 hrs = 30,681)
The 1st half of the Tribulation will have 441 fewer hours than today.
(3.5 x 360 x 24 hrs = 30,240)
The 2nd half of the Tribulation will have 10,521 fewer hours than today.
(3.5 x 360 x 16 hrs = 20,160 hours)
And how will the “Little Horn” (Antichrist) of Dan. 7:25
react to the new 16 hour day?
“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.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
for a time and times and half a time. ”
(or three and one-half years).
The Antichrist will “intend to change times and law”.
New “time standards” would need to be legislated to match earth’s new reality.
Existing clocks/calendars? All worthless at this point!
