We must also understand that the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. This is very important when trying to translate and decipher the prophecies throughout the Holy Bible. Being that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew then we know their calendar was the Levitical Calendar, which had 360 days in one year. The New Testament used the Greek Solar Calendar, which had 365.24 days in one year.
This is the conversion and it will be used throughout this blog.
360 / 365.24 = .9857
Here is some scripture to read pertaining to what God says about days/years in prophecy and how we should interpret them. (Note) All scriptures were extracted from BibleGateway.com, King James Version.

Ezekiel 4:6
6And 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.
