In Biblical eschatology a Prophetic Year or Prophetical Year is sometimes regarded as being different to an ordinary year, namely
- A 360-day period of "time"
- A 360-year period of "time", or
- A 360-year period of "time" composed of 360-day "years".
The names Apocalyptic Year and Apocalyptical Year have also been used in some literature, in obvious reference to Revelation, also known as "The Apocalypse of St. John".

With this prophetic blessing—Be thou dull;”
