Does the relatively recent arrival of the Metric System into America have any prophetic significance? Should America convert to the Metric System? Why does America stubbornly continue to maintain two measuring systems? The modern introduction of the Metric System into the US in the 1970's went mostly unnoticed by the American public, but it may now be advisable for Americans to take a closer look at the Metric System before simply accepting it as a replacement for their original British-based system of measurement. Did you know for instance, that our US system of weights and measures was originally based upon the biblical cubit? That's right, the cubit was a unit of measure based upon the size of the planet on which we live.
The original "Sacred Cubit" was a unit of measure equal to 25 British inches, and also equal to one 10-millionth part of the distance between the North Pole and the center of the Earth. In 1790, a Catholic priest named Charles Talleyrand, who was also a close friend and associate of an infamous world conqueror, was sent to the Paris Academy of Sciences in order to help establish a new worldwide system of weights and measures meant to replace the English system of weights and measures that was in use all over the world at the time. This new French measuring system would be based upon a new unit of measure known as the "meter." There are many people who believe that this historical event fulfilled a famous Last Days prophecy about an attempt by the Biblical antichrist to replace God's measuring sytem with one of his own. The meter (from the Greek word "metron") was designed to be a counterfeit cubit, equal to one 10-millionth part of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator:
Cubit = 1/10,000,000th part of distance from N. Pole to Earth's Center
Meter = 1/10,000,000th part of distance from N. Pole to Earth's Equator
The original Sacred Cubit was a length equal to 25 English inches, or 7 "hands." The "hand" measure is still used today by people who raise horses, it is a length of just under 4 inches (3.58 inches to be exact), and is equal to the width of a man's hand, not including the thumb.
Since the biblical cubit was originally an Earth-based measure, it was also used to parcel out land. The British "acre" was in fact originally a square of land measuring 100 cubits (or 2500 inches) per side. The modern US acre, still in use on practically every land deed in America, varies only slightly from this original dimension.
Most Americans have still not accepted the Metric System as their official system of weights and measures. Many Americans just plain don't like the Metric System, and can't even tell you why they don't like it. Our original British system of measurement continues to serve as America's system of weights and measures in spite of the fact that in 1975 US president Gerald Ford officially signed on to the Metric Conversion Act. To this day, the meter remains a flawed unit of measure, since it was originally based upon a measurement taken over the imperfect surface of the globe.
