Did God leave this time change in effect?

Did God leave this approximate 1 hour time change in effect?

2 Kings 20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

Oddly, many years back I was reading about a group of physicists studying time as it relates to earth, and who after working back through mathematics of which I have not an inkling, they found they were missing pretty much one full day. Between the verse you cite, and the episode in which God held the sun still for Joshua 'for about one full day' we have arrived at approximately the right amount of time these chaps were searching for.

So it would appear the answer to your question is 'yes.'

Sorry, Leonard, but I believe that's been confirmed to be a hoax.

Repeating the original question - Did God leave this approximate 1 hour time change in effect?

2 Kings 20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

And then adding to it approximately 12 hours of the following verses -

Joshua 10:13-14. "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

So in combining both instances the time was lengthened to a total of approximately 12 hours, and since there was no day like that before it or after it, has it remained in effect?

Since I can get no authorities on the Old Testament here to tell me they have actual history back to Moses and just know there was no loss of time since, I'll just have to assume since there was approximately 12 hours added to time, that the Sabbath must have had to be 12 hours earlier than when God instituted it.

Now do I have any comments?

Don't you think that the LORD would have made an issue of this if that was important?

You worry too much.

Gee, and I thought you knew me by now. Nah, I'm not a legalist and don't get drawn up tight about those things, but I think it's interesting that people in this day believe they know the exact day that the Lord rested other than Him stating it was the seventh day.

Since I was in debate about such things, I went online to ask what day the Sabbath was observed on, and the reply was: "Shabbat is always observed on the seventh day of the week, Saturday, wherever in the world one may be." Does this mean that somewhere in the world there are those observing the Sabbath on my Sunday since time zones vary? Which one is wrong in their observence? And just why didn't the Lord just call it Saturday if that is what it was? It was after six days that He rested and what if it started on our Wednesday instead? Then all those trying to observe something as critical to their doing God's will are wrong. I have one telling me to make a good faith effort is good enough.

Then I read in the Encyclopedia that in measurements of days using the Hebrew Calendar they counted 30 days to their month which I believe was a lunar month, but in real time was only 29 1/2 days approximately. Then I see this backing up of time by the Lord. Are you and I sure the Sabbath is not being observed on fifth day instead?

Wow, is that a frown? Scientifically proved to cause wrinkles. I do have a question for you Nebula: How do I get those scriptures to the bottom of my threads like you have what I would call a signature. I have gone to frequently ask questions, tried my profile to find an edit, and now beg for your mercy upon me.
