The Divine Calendar is a cosmological reckoning of time used by the Divines to measure the lifespan of universes, worlds, and souls. It is structured around a duodecimal system (base-12), reflecting the sacred cycles of Divine creation. Mortals perceive billions of years, while the Divines perceive only days and weeks of their higher chronology.
One Divine Day is equal to approximately 649 million Earth years, and a Divine Week consists of 12 days, totaling about 7.79 billion Earth years. According to this reckoning, the universe is currently about 21.3 Divine Days old—placing creation at Week 2, Day 9. Earth itself spans 7 Divine Days, from its formation to the present, aligning with the sacred number seven.
Time Conversion
The Divine Calendar’s time can be converted into mortal reckoning:
- 1 Divine Day = ~649 million Earth years
- 1 Divine Week = 12 days = ~7.79 billion Earth years
- Universe Age = 21.3 Divine Days = Week 2, Day 9
- Earth’s Lifespan = 7 Divine Days (≈4.54 billion years)
Time Measurements
The Divine system organizes time into sacred duodecimal units:
Large Measurements of Time
| Unit Name | Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Divine Second | 6,944 Terran Years | |
| Divine Minute | 416,667 Terran Years, 60 Divine Seconds | |
| Divine Hour | ~25 million Terran Years, 60 Divine Minutes | This is the Base unit of a Divine Day |
| Divine Day | ~600 million Terran Years, 24 Divine Hours | The base unit of the Divine Calendar. |
| Divine Week | 12 Divine Days (≈7.2 billion Terran Years) | Represents a full cycle of cosmic labor. |
| Divine Month | 12 Divine Weeks (≈86.4 billion Terran Years) | A higher-order cycle, rarely referenced, beyond the age of the current universe. |
| Divine Year | 12 Divine Months | A mythic measure, used only in prophecy and speculation. |
Smaller Measurements of Time
| Unit Name | Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blink | 1 million years | A momentary Divine breath. |
| Blip | 100,000 years | Barely perceptible to Divines, but immense to mortals. |
| Age | 10,000 years | Used by prophets and immortal chroniclers. |
| Gen | 1,000 years | Equivalent to a mortal “generation” of history. |
Chronological Outline
By the Divine Calendar, history can be narrated in days:
Week 1 (Days 1–12)
- Day 1: Kosmos' Divine Fathoming, time and space unfold.
- Day 3: Jovan and Asarea divide Kosmos into Outer Darkness, Matter Unorganized, and Heaven.
- Day 7: Matter Unorganized begins to form Super Cluster (Galaxies).
- Day 12: The Gas and Dust are placed to obscure Heaven.
Week 2 (Days 13–24)
- Day 2: Terra forms in Yonder.
- Day 3: First Unchecked Lifeform form.
- Day 5: Complex Unchecked Lifeform evolve.
- Day 7: Jovanah and the Arch Angel Mikal begin to experiment on the Unchecked Lifeforms.
- Day 9: Jovanah and the Arch Angel Mikal begin to finalize Terra's Lifeforms. Jovan creates Mikal's Mortal Vessel and Ava is forged from Asarea's redesign of Mikal's Mortal Vessel which is in the Likeness of Female Divines.
- Day 10-11: Visible Universe's story unfolds.
- Days 12: Judgment Day Occurs.
Cultural Significance
The Divine Calendar situates all of mortal and cosmic history within a much larger framework. Mortals interpret the seven days of Earth as sacred, while the Divines view it as only a fraction of a week in eternity. The duodecimal system reflects the perfect symmetry of twelve, echoed in universal law, prophecy, and judgment.
Trivia
- Earth’s seven-day span explains the mortal myth of “seven days of creation.”
- According to this system, we live in Week 2, Day 9, not yet halfway through the second Divine Week.
- Scholars speculate that when the second Divine Week ends, the Divines may begin a Third, bringing new universes into being.
