was time in the bible days the same as they are now.?

Answer 1

Yes and no, Months were luner months,

The year was made of 12, with a month added every so often to keep the year on track.

similar to our leap year.

Hours were counted in daylight sun rise or night. sun set (3rd hour in the day, if the sun came up at 6:00, the 3rd hour was 9:00 am)

If at that time of the year the sun came up at 7:00, then the 3rd hour would be 10:00 am.

In some cases it's broken down to morning or afternoon.

going back to 3rd hour. if it was in the after noon, then it would be 3:00 pm.

The context of the scripture will determine which period of time is being referenced.

Answer 2

No. If you're referring to Day Light Savings Time. It was derived from man's thinking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

Origin
DST was first mentioned in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin in a letter to the editors of the Journal of Paris.[1] However, as the satirical article was humorous, it is extremely clear Franklin could not seriously propose that the French adopt it. The mere suggestion that a tax be levied on those who have their shades drawn during daylight hours, or simply that people should get up and go to bed earlier is ludicrous.[2]

It was first seriously proposed by William Willett in the "Waste of Daylight", published in 1907, but he was unable to get the British government to adopt it, despite considerable lobbying.

The idea of DST was first put into practice by the German government during the First World War, between April 30, 1916 and October 1, 1916. Shortly afterward, the United Kingdom followed suit, first adopting it between May 21 and October 1, 1916. On June 17, 1917 Newfoundland became the first North American jurisdiction to adopt DST with the passing of the Daylight Saving Act of 1917. On March 19, 1918, the U.S. Congress formally established several time zones, which had been in use by railroads and most cities since 1883; at the same time they made DST official, effective March 31, for the remainder of World War I. It was observed for seven months in 1918 and 1919. The law, however, proved so unpopular, mostly because people rose and went to bed earlier than in current times, that it was repealed in 1919, when Congress overrode President Woodrow Wilson's veto of the repeal.

Answer 3

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but,

It took about the same amount of time for the earth to rotate around its axis (so days were about the same length) and it took about the same amount of time for the earth to revolve around the sun (so years were about the same length). I say about because there have been slight differences over time. (the earth is slowing down)

However if you mean the counting of time when it relates to months, that has changed. In the past many people used a lunar calendar, however we today use a solar calendar.

Answer 4

The earth is slowing down. So, that would mean that it used to go faster. Then our days and night would have been shorter in the past. How much?? No one knows. But the most it could be is not more than a few seconds. So, don't attempt to adjust your calendar.

Answer 5

YES: Time was from new moon to new moon and Sabbath to Sabbath 365 days a years and any make up time.

Answer 6

No, the years were shorter. The Hebrew calendar was 360 days. If that was in error, their seasons would be off in short order. But in reality their calendar was correct for that time.

Answer 7

from the time when God finished what he wanted to do with the earth, and placed mankind here, the flow of time has been as we know it. In the begining of mankind,after man was kicked out of The Garden of Eden, the lifespan of man was much longer. several hundred years. But "time" was as it is now.

Prior to The placing of man on earth, which finished God's direct work here, time was as God decreed it to be.... that is a possable explination for all of the fossel records... all of these things having happened in "God's time" which to man would seem as hundreds of millions of years by present time perception. But a much different "time" to God.

Answer 8

OK I withdraw my answer and have no reason to doubt Cosmo. So were there more days because the earth was spinning faster (shorter days) or because the orbit was slower (longer to go around the sun)

Answer 9

yes, but nobody had watches. The sun took 24 hours to rise , run its course and set, just like now.

Answer 10

The stories represent what we go through in this time.
