1 Day = 1000 Years (Psalms 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8)

(1) No light reflects from the moon when a new moon occurs. I am giving the name sliver to the first light of the moon that shines right after the sun sets. A sliver of moonlight last one day. The width of moonlight will be 2 slivers wide after 2 days. There are 7 days from the first sliver of the waxing crescent to the first quarter moon, and therefore 7 slivers are within this time frame. From the first quarter moon to the full moon, there are 7 slivers. From the full moon to the third quarter moon, there are 7 slivers. From the third quarter moon to the last sliver of a waning crescent before a new moon, there are 7 slivers. This is where the week of 7 days and a month of four weeks comes from. (A month is from one new moon to the next new moon.) The extra 1.5 days of the month (7 weeks x 4 = 28 days, new moon to new moon = 29.53 days) are during the new moon, when light from the moon is not reflected toward the Earth.

(2) The sun and moon appear to be the same size, which is why a solar ecilpse can occur. I am giving the name sun diameter or moon diameter to the apparent width of the sun or moon as seen standing on Earth.

(3) The shortest days of the year around the winter solstice (December 21) are 10 hours and 4 minutes long from Sunrise to Sunset in Jerusalem. (From December 20-22)

(4) The longest days of the year around the summer solstice (June 21) are 14 hours and 14 minutes long from Sunrise to Sunset in Jerusalem. (From June 17-22)

(5) Seven days (1 week) of daylight during the shortest days would amount to 7 x 10 hours and 4 minutes (7 x 604 minutes) = 70 hours and 28 minutes (4228 minutes) of daylight.  Seven days (1 week) of daylight during the longest days would amount to 7 x 14 hours and 14 minutes (7 x 854 minutes) = 99 hours and 38 minutes (5978 minutes) of daylight.

(6) 5978 minutes of a week of the longest days divided by 604 minutes of the shortest day = 9.9 days (5978 / 604 =9.9). So, a 7 day week of daylight during June is a 10 day week using the amount of daylight during December.

(7) A lunar month is an average 29.53 days long (new moon to new moon). (29.53 x 854 [the amount of minutes in a long day]) = 25218.62 minutes of a month of the longest days divided by 604 minutes of the shortest day = 41.75 days. So, a 30 day month of daylight during June has 40 days worth of sunlight if you are using the amount of daylight in one day during December. This means a month has thirty days as defined by the amount of time it takes the moon to go around the earth, but a month can also have 40 days as defined by the amount of light that occurs during that month in June.

(8) To show better perfection: The shortest lunar month is 29 days 6 hours 35 minutes. So a month could have 29 days of daylight with the other 6 hours 35 minutes being during the nighttime (or even more, up to 9 hours 46 minutes, which is the amount of nighttime during June). The exact amount of  daylight in 29 days before or after June 21 is 410 hours (May 24 to June 21 = 410 hours 1 minute) & (June 21 to July 19 = 409 hours 44 minutes). The exact amount of  daylight in 40 days before or after December 21 is 410 hours (November 12 to December 21 = 410 hours 30 minutes) & (December 21 to January 29 = 410 hours 5 minutes). So, 29 day summer months are really 40 days long in winter daylight.

(9) A solar year has 365.24258 days. A lunar year has 354.36 days (29.53 days x 12 months = 354.36). The lunar year is 10.88258 days shorter than the solar year. A 13th leap month is added to the lunar year to keep up with the solar year. A leap month is added every 2.7135 years (29.53 / 10.88258 = 2.7135) or every 991 days. (The blue moon is the same concept with a full moon.)

(10) A 13th leap month is added every 991 days & a blue moon is added every 991 days [with this blue moon being added 495.5 days after the leap month was added]. The full moon is in the middle of a lunar month. Blue moons are also added in the middle of leap months. (991 / 2 = 495.5) Every 495.5 days alternating blue moons or leap months are added to the lunar year.

(11) A sliver lasts 1 whole day, but here a sliver represents a month. With a month equal to around 28-30 days, this means a sliver can be divided by 30.

(12) It is through our eyes that we see light. A blink of the eyes moves us from light to darkness and back to light again. This small measurement of time last 0.3-0.4 seconds on average (See Blink).
