"approx 288 years" ?
"can be a time span only known to God". yes, as is clearly shown in God's Word
But Where Did the Day-Year Idea Come From?
It’s from the Bible, of course!
Numbers 14:34 “After the number of the days in which ye searched the
land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your
iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.”
Ezekiel 4:5 “For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity,
according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days:
so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.”
It was 390 Hebrew years from the close
of the Old Testament to the birth of Jesus.
Ezekiel 4:6 “And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy
right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty
days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.”
