find me some evidence that the current 7 day rolling week goes all the way back to Adam? Or at least beyond the Julian calendar, that we now call the Gregorian calendar. This calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar in 46BC: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar

When this new calendar was created it was for the express reason that there were hundreds of different calendars that were being  used across the Roman Empire and Julius want to standardise them so that arranging meetings and making plans with the various leaders and people groups would be much easier. 

Now up to then the Romans were using a calendar with an 8 day rolling week:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar

Only the Romans were using this 8 day week calendar in the province of Rome within Italy, only! Meanwhile the Israelites had been using there own 7 day week calendar for hundreds of years before the Romans ever existed. So how did the two different calendar weeks get to match up perfectly? Did the Roman's use the Jewish timing of their weekly cycle? Did they use this obscure religious sects timing, a group of people who lived over a 1000 miles away. Who were only known as one of the most troublesome groups within the Roman Empire?

Greek mathematician Sosigenes who Julius Caesar employed to create the new calendar simply changed the old Roman 8 day week calendar to the new 7 day week calendar in 46 BC, just as history records, so the chances of the current 7 day week matching the Jewish week is only a 1 in 7 chance. 

Are you able to find the evidence that Sosigenes got these two different calendar weeks to match up? Because no one else can. And by the way there is no evidence that the Jews even used the new Julian 7 day week until 359 AD.

I hope some one here has the intelligence to understand this?

Yeah that's the week established by God but the question is where is the evidence that it matches the Roman week established by Julius Caesar?

No clue, why does it matter. It's the Biblical week that I care about, not Caesars. Interesting footnote people have tried different length weeks in the past never worked out. I think the Russians tried a 10 day week once... didn't last very long.

I read it, it's just your definition is wrong. The Jews used a literal 7 day week...so either the Roman 8 day didn't line up, or they didn't use an 8 day week. I don't really see a third option.

Yeah so it's like this time line diagram below: 

God's week (year 1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------(today) 

                                                                                                               Roman week (46BC)-----------------------------(today)

The Romans implemented the calendars 7 day week we use today in 46BC before this date they had a very strange calendar that had 8 day weeks plus an extra day for market. Now the important bit is the Romans did not make sure that the new 7 day week they implemented was the same as the Jewish 7 day week. Does that make sense? Here is some info on the old Roman 8 day week calendar and the Julian calendar that we use today:

Pride is unbecoming. 

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Having a high iq doesnt guarantee you have any real smarts. After all someone as smart as stephen hawking doesnt grasp that he needs Jesus.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
