He must address waywardness and rebellion, otherwise such behavior would ultimately lead to lawlessness; making its lasting effects irreparable as subsequent generations would be worst than their predecessors. Three hundred and ninety days was allotted by the LORD for Israel’s unrepentant heart; a day for each year. The Father waited patiently to see if Israel would turn from their iniquity but they did not. The divided northern and southern kingdoms of Israel walked contrary to the LORD’S teachings. Both rebelled and both were judged: Israel under King Jeroboam (1 Kings 12:25-33) and Judah under King Manasseh (see 2 Kings 21:1-9; 2 Chronicles 33:1-9).

The number of days of this calendar year is 360. To subtract 360 from 430 we get to another
