38 The Crucifixion Was Not on Fridayof the Britannica gives this very answer in the article "Calendar,"page 1000! Verify it yourself. This figure is the averagelength of a 19-year cycle.Notice that the length of 19 Julian years is slightly longerthan the same number of years according to God's Calendar.Both have the same number of whole days, but not the samenumber of hours. N ow we want to find how much longer theJulian Calendar is than the Hebrew Calendar in 19 years.Just subtract the length of one from the other!Roman Julian Calendar:6939d 18hHebrew Calendar:-6939d -16h -33m -3l,hsOd 1h 26m 56%s(This answer is derived by changing the hours into minutesand the minutes into seconds.)So the Julian Calendar is 1 hour, 26 minutes and 56%seconds longer than a 19-year cycle.

That's simple enough, isn't it?Where to Begin?We could commence our calculation anywhere. But asmost of you have access to a Public Library, we shall use the11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica for our startingpoint. The newer editions of the Britannica fail to include thefollowing information! That's why you ought to use the 11thedition to verify this proof.In the Britannica, article "Calendar," we find that theJewish scholar Lindo calculated the precise moment of thenew moon for October in the year 1845. That year began a19-year cycle, which makes it easy for us to work from. Inthe Hebrew Calendar we need to find the moment the newmoon of the seventh month of the sacred year occurs. This
