	I wonder how it was determined that Biblical prophecy only uses 360
days?  That would mean that every (approximately) 70 years you would lose
a year.  
	Actually, the Jewish calendar during post-exilic times was based on a
29-30 day lunar month with a leap month every 4 out of 11 years.  This
would average out so that seasonal festivals would fall about the same
time of year.  Otherwise people would celebrate harvest during spring,
etc...  Obviously, this puts those, oh so precise figures out of skew.  
(International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, vol. 1 p.542)

Sincerely,
Josh Livingston
