"Titus what is that symbol, is it a military thing? "....wuzlovesdubs beat me to it...now why Titus chooses to use a major Freemason symbol as his avatar would be for him to know.
This is a splended topic...wasen't it out of one of the books of Enoch that the 7000 year creative days came?
No, that was from the epistle of Barnabas (with respect to the 6,000 years to judgment day, followed by the millennium sabbath). But interestingly Barnabas quotes 1 Enoch as scripture.
The idea developed from a threefold exegesis of Psalm 90:4:
1) Jub. 4:30; Justin, Dial. 81; Irenaeus, Adv. Haer. 5.23.2; Midr. Ps. 25:8; Gen. Rab. 19:8, 22:1; Num. Rab. 5:4; Pirqe R. El. 18. (Psalm 90:4 as key to exegesis of Genesis 2:17 and 5:5, such that Adam's 930 years fit within a single 1,000-year "day")
2) Rev. 20:4; Justin, Dial. 81; b. Sanh. 99a; Midr. Ps. 90:17; Pesiq. R. 1:7 (Psalm 90:4 as key to messianic exegesis of Psalm 90:15; Isa. 65:22, etc., such that the "day" or "days" of the Messiah equal a thousand or several thousands of years)
3) Barn. 15:4; Irenaeus, Adv. Haer. 5.28.3; b. Sanh. 97a; cf. 2 Pet. 3:8-10, Pirqe R. El. 28 (Psalm 90:4 as key to messianic analogy of Genesis 1 creative days, such that six "days" of 1,000 years each are followed by a millennial "Sabbath")
Simple calculation will show you how unbelievable the whole idea really is
If a minute i.e. 1/60th of a degree (°) equals 1.852 km
Then a degree is 1.852 x 60 = 111.12 km
Now for earth to move from axial tilt to today's rotation axis of exactly 23.439281° or in kilometers 2604.57 Km (1618.4 mi) around the poles that would require quite a jolt that would trigger earthquakes all over the planet higher in magnitude than anything we ever witnessed. Just like 8.8 Chilean quake caused a small shift in reverse (8 centimeters, or 3.1 inches to be exact)
Now imagine the force unleashed if earth suddenly moved 2604.57 Km (1618.4 mi). It would effectively destroyed the ark and probably large part of population almost not needing food to do so.
For earth to seamlessly move like that would require lots of small changes over lots of time that would also leave impact on climate as it happened. To do it without leaving a hint would require a real miracle indeed
Look up in the sky at the moon and you will see that it has tilted and rocks to and fro during 24hrs but if you look carefully you will see that the moon's position in relation to the sun's shadow/rays does not change leading me to believe that it is actually the earth thath has tilted...... As in the days of noah... and this is what noah noticed. Also google "moon tilt" for more information. Ps according to the bible the earth does not rotate around the sun but vice versa. Also google this foe a sound scientific explanation.
