The “Melchizedek Biblical Solar Calendar” Dates for 2015 – And How To Calculate This Calendar Yourself In The Coming Years (If We Have No Internet!) By Rob Moore
The “Melchizedek Yahushua Solar Calendar” Dates for 2015 – And How To Calculate This Calendar Yourself In The Coming Years (If We Have No Internet!) As several requests have been received asking for the “Melchizedek Yahushua solar calendar” High Days for 2015, and in the event that we may not have the freedom of the Internet to share this kind of information much longer, the first part of this article is the 2015 calendar dates. In the second part is an overview of the principles required that will enable you to work out the calendar by yourself in the coming years. The Melchizedek Yahushua solar biblical calendar for the 2015 High Days is presented immediately below. I call it the Melchizedek Yahushua Solar calendar since it follows the Apostolic testimony of Yahushua’s sign of Jonah, his death and resurrection, by which we can identify the Feast of First Fruit, since He is our First Fruits (1 Cor 15:20). The calendar also incorporates the foundational principles of the Zadok priesthood testimony. The counting pattern of days is laid out in the left column of biblical day counts to the High dates and the nature of this solar calendar is that this pattern is unchanging for each and each year if one properly identifies the actual true sun equinox date, and then consequently the date of the biblical weekly Sabbath day. No intercalation of leap days or days is ever necessary – it works out exactly the same every year, year after year, unlike the Christian calendar which requires intercalation for leap years, or the Rabbinic calendar that requires a massive intercalation of a full 13th lunar month to be added every three years to simply bring their calendar (which becomes increasingly inaccurate each year) back into line with the agricultural seasons again. Consequently for a year out of every three, Judaism is observing their Passover in the winter and not the spring as required by the law of Moses! This year, 2015, by intercalation, the Rabbinic religious lunar calendar is placed back in close coincidence to the biblical solar calendar due to the adding of the 13th month to this passing year 2014-25. But next year 2015-16 and the year after that, if you compare the biblical solar calendar with the Rabbinic lunar calendar you will see just how much the Rabbinic calendar drifts towards starting in the winter season, revealing its completely unreliability when we know in truth that YHVH, the Creator, sets all things in perfect order .
Note that in this “Melchizedek Yahushua biblical solar calendar”, that the pattern count of all the days to the festivals (first two columns) will always be exactly the same every year, and it is the Gregorian calendar dates and days that move around and change each year. The Rabbinical calendar dates for Judaism’s high days are presented in the right hand column simply to for comparison to show how even though they identify Passover to be close this year, their prescription for the rest of the festivals goes their own way. This is because the Rabbinic identification of the weekly Sabbath is integrated to the Gregorian Saturday (so adjusted by Hillel II around 300 CE), whereas the “Melchizedek Yahushua biblical solar calendar” uses the principle of the Zadok testimony on how the weekly biblical Sabbath is identified from the occurrence of equinox itself. This distinction is really important if one is sincerely seeking to identify the biblical Feast of Weeks and the Day of Atonement – the two pinnacle High Days of YHVH’s commanded worship liturgy It needs to be emphasised that whilst this year, the Rabbinic calendar – because of their additional 13th month intercalation together with a rare periodic incident this year (the new moon happens to be coinciding with the occurrence of the vernal equinox this year) the Rabbinic Passover date for Passover approximates the “Melchizedek Yahushua Biblical Solar calendar” count to the Passover. BUT thereafter – the Rabbinic calendar identification of First Fruits and subsequent festivals etc changes accoriding to their own prescriptions in relation to their definition of the occurrence of the weekly Sabbath. Of course by the time one gets to the 7th month, the Rabbinic calendar is way short because of the lunar month count rather than the biblical month and the arrival of the autumnal equinox. In other years when the Rabbinics intercalate their additional 13th month there yet may be greater differences because the astronomical new moon may not be so closely associated with the occurrence of the vernal equinox. Is it not amazing that YHVH’s festivals are linked intimately with the agricultural seasons, yet many hold to a Rabbinical calendar which completely ignores the seasons and focuses instead on the moon – all the while claiming this to be the “law of Moses! Here then we discover a very important foundational principle of the biblical calendar demonstrated: – One needs the identification of both Day 1 of the biblical year as well as the identification of the weekly biblical Sabbath, to be able to identify when the biblical festivals will take place, and the biblical weekly Sabbath does not relate to the Gregorian Saturday. It is perhaps the strongest heavenly confirmation of the biblical prophets Yahushua and The Apostles, that redeemed Jacob is yet “in the exile” and the messianic era when there will be “the restoration of all things” in the coming covenant land, has not yet arrived! The “Melchizedek Yahushua solar calendar” formula is one, which works out precisely according to Leviticus 23 instructions and the testimony of Yahushua and is the same pattern of the counting of time every year without any intercalation of days or months or leap years. On the other hand both the Rabbinic and Gregorian calendars are moving around the place every year depending on their definition of days, weeks, months and their shortfalls in their methods of counting time that require intercalary adjustments to catch up with the seasons.
In the second part of this article, together with the spreadsheet template presented for this year, I lay out the essential principles how and what is required to be able to work out the “Melchizedek Yahushua solar calendar” for yourself in the coming years, just in case we are going into the labour pains of the righteous woman in the coming days and we will need to be able to do it correctly for ourselves. After all my studies on this subject over the years, I am persuaded that Abba has revealed all this at these late minutes in the age, so that we will each be able to participate with Him and His messengers in a very important coming Feast of Weeks and Day of Atonement, which is hidden from all but His remnant elect, in the midst of very dark days that will be across the globe. I understand the timing of this to be in the same vein as the narrative of the preparation before the ancient exodus (Exodus 10:21-23) 21 ¶ And YHVH said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. . By learning to work it for yourself you will learn much more about the amazing biblical calendar and how ordered it is, and I expect that in doing this, you will probably come to share my own experience, that beginning to actively work it out each for ourselves is a part of the process that Abba is calling each one whereby we will KNOW Him more intimately, especially given the days in which we live ( Phil 2:12.) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I pray you will be baruch from Shamayim above as you take hold of the High scriptural festivals this coming Year. Esteem and honor to our great and coming Soveriegn, Yahushua Melchizedek!
Working The Calendar Out By Yourself:
The Calendar Really Is A Hidden Mystery: The following is a synopsis of the principles from sincere study over the years, which enables the High Festival days to be discerned. The answer to identifying the biblical calendar yourself is that it really is a Divine revelation within reach of any who 1) have a sincere love for YHVH’s truth (2 Thess 2) and who have 2) the full scriptures in their hands, 3) who carefully follow Yahushua’s Divine authority as our Melchizedek King – High Priest Order, 4) who accept the Apostle’s testimony as trustworthy and authoritative, 5) who understand the testimony of the exiled Zadok priesthood (160 BCE –30 CE Qumran scrolls) concerning the solar biblical calendar and their formula for identifying the day of the biblical weekly Sabbath, and 6) know their testimony of the Pharisees who profaned the Temple in 160 BCE with the rebellious enforcement of the lunar calendar, which they brought from the Greeks and 7) who have a basic understanding of astronomy, the orbit of the earth around the sun, the ecliptic constellations, and how to the vernal and autumnal equinoxes can be easily identified. In history, the biblical calendar was deliberately replaced by the Judeo –Christian religious polemic many centuries ago each in their attempts to exert control over the “Kingdom of God” for themselves (Nicolaitanism).
First the Pharisees profaned the calendar of Judah in the century preceding the advent of Yahushua, then later the Roman Christian calendar emerged in 325 CE. In truth, the biblical calendar is only knowable by 1) the text of Leviticus 23, 2) the revelation of the Zadok testimony in the recently revealed Qumran texts, 3) trust and complete respect for the truth, accuracy and reliability of the Apostolic testimony of Yahushua as being of the Melchizedek King-High Priest Order, and especially the testimony of the precise the timing of when Yahushua both directed and observed his last Passover at the community of the “Water Carrier” (an exiled Zadok community), as precisely recorded in Luke 22 which was on the day immediately prior of the lunar based day of preparation for the Passover of the Rabbinic calendar with which they (the Pharisees) had gained control over the Temple. After more than 20 years of searching for the “ancient path”, knowing the constructed religious calendar of Christendom, and seeing all the calendar confusion in the so-called “Messianic / Hebraic roots movements”, I am persuaded that the sudden wake-up to the solar calendar that has been happening in the remnant across the globe in these last few seconds of the age, is indeed a most profound last days Divine miracle desperately necessary to the narrative of the prophesied “greater exodus” of the elect, and thus revelation from a loving Father. It is given to us through His Grace, and not because of our own academic prowess since few Christian or Rabbinic theologian academics are able to transcend their own traditional theologies on the matter. .
How do we know that we could not have come to this by our own understanding? For the reasons that while we could unravel the history of Rome and Protestantism’s religious calendars, originating way back to the 2nd century to Polycrates and the Quartodeciman disputes, and then the Council of Nicea in 325CE. The history of the impact of Rabbinicalism on Judah’s religious calendar was scandalously kept from the publicly under secret lock and key for more than 6 decades, because the only primary historical resource record we have of the history of Judah in the times of the Maccabees through to Yahushua (160 BCE to 30-70CE), is in the volumes of the Dead Sea Scroll Libraries , and it has only been through the continued struggles of certain people to be able get access to the scrolls, that the very recent public revelation of the Qumran libraries occurred in the year 2000 enabling a second generation of sincere scholars to begin to study and to publicly reveal the document contents. (For all we know some scrolls may still be being kept under certain lock and key ?) The scrolls reveal that there was an ancient religious understanding of the biblical calendar amongst Judah that was deliberately and totally obliterated from their religious memory under the hegemony of the Pharisee Rabbis. The scrolls testify to the history of the Pharisee Rabbinic destruction of the biblical calendar (beginning around 160-120 BCE) for all to read – especially laid bare for the remnant, whether Jew or Non-Jew who have love for YHVH’s truth, to search the matter out to see if it be so.
Thus the search to find and receive the revelation of the true biblical calendar is very much a personal heart issue requiring a deliberate walk that can be described as motivated by a sincere love for truth. According to 2 Thess 2:10 this condition is a prophesied precondition for the elect in the last days, since without that unique quality of character, YHVH has declared there will not be given revelation of His truth but that instead there will be a being given over to a great deception and the subsequent believing of a lie. It is in this sense that the conflicts we have all witnessed over the religious calendars in the Judeo-Christian religious polemic need to be discerned in these last prophetic days. The exiled Zadok priesthood testified that the foundational condition of all rebellion against YHVH, is to be found in the replacement of the biblical solar calendar with the lunar calendar which was originally instructed by the fallen angels, and which the Pharisees forcefully implemented, to consolidate their hegemonic political and religious control over the ancient Temple and the ancient nation of Judah. Consequently it is not a small matter to expect that the issue of the religious calendar will be at the heart of the great deception in the last days, a deception which will be strongly promoted by the one whose coming is ”after the working of Satan” (2Thess 2:9), just as it was in the days of Antiochus, the Maccabee ruling elites, the Pharisees, as opposed to those who struggled for YHVH’s truth such as the Zadoks, John the Immerser, Yahushua Melchizedek, the Apostles and the remnant congregation of the New Covenant. Consequently while the elect has been deliberately kept blind to the truths on the biblical calendar for more than 2 thousand years, it is by the wonderful grace of Father YHVH, that His remnant be given increased understanding in the very last minutes of the age so that they are able to into worship of Him in “Spirit and in truth” together with the community of righteous angelic beings of heaven, all of whom who lso worship and honour Him in the Divine order of His biblical calendar. The ancient Zadok priesthood prophesied that in the very last days, immediately prior to the implementation of the Messianic Era and the “restoration of all things”, a communal restoration of the true biblical calendar and worship would again be restored to the remnant to reunite the worship of the remitment elect with the heavenly angelic hosts. Praise YHVH and Glory to Yahushua the Great Redeemer!
How To Work Out The Melchizedek Yahushua Solar Calendar
1. The biblical calendar is equinox based.
2. Mean Sun Equinox Dates versus The Identification Of True Sun Equinox dates Day 1 of the first month of the year is identified by the event of the true sun Vernal equinox. On our typical printed calendars the equinox date and time reported is a mean sun mathematical calculation and is not a true sun observation where the actual occurrence of the equinox occurs. Thus while our calendars give an indication, there can be a full days’ difference between the mean sun calculation and the actual sun dial observation – this can be seen in that if your calendar is reporting the equinox occurring in the night hours (Jerusalem time) then it is only possible that the actual true sun equinox will only be observable the next day, and cannot have occurred as the typical calendar reports during the night.
3. Using The Horizontal Sundial Experience with a good horizontal sun dial is best to do the observation of the equinoxes with confidence, and especially if you do not have access to the internet in the future! A horizontal sundial reveals the very day on which the equinox occurs and is observed by carefully identifying the occurrence of a straight line on a good (broad) sundial. The straight line must be read from the very edges of the sundial through the center. With small sundials, it is easy to make a mistake of reading it as having a straight line incidence and yet close inspection of the outside edges of the sundial (occurring early morning, late afternoon) might still be revealing a very slight curve to the line – meaning one may be a day early or (if it is going the other way – a day late). It is extremely important to identify the true straight line has occurred from early morning (sunrise) through late afternoon (sunset).
Below are some pictures of my horizontal sundial work on identifying the equinox:
• The sundial must point true north and not magnetic north. You need to practice getting the sundial appropriately position days before the actual day you will be measuring the equinox as you will not be able to change its position when started – if the sundial is off just a degree or so from true north achieving a straight line will be distorted and you could mistakenly miss identifying the actual day of the equinox because a sundial that is not correctly aligned will display something of a curve.
• The sundial must have a good ratio of pin height (shadow cast) to board breadth to make early morning and late evening readings possible and accurate
• In looking for the day of the equinox start hourly measuring the day before the mean sun calculation dates typically found on calendars – you may have to continue on to the day after the means usn calculation date on the calendar since the actual true sun observation of the equinox is very different form a mathematical estimate. Make sure you are able to get early morning sun and late evening sun readings. Its on the very edges of the sun dial that a straight line can be perfectly measured, as even a day prior to the actual equinox the horizontal sun dial line will be slightly curved.
• As the middle of the day approaches (dependant of latitude) , you will need to increase the number of readings taken to every 30 minutes and down to every 10. Once the middle of the day approaches the movement of the shadow on the sun dial begins to accelerate, and you can miss an measurement if you are not alert.
• For more information on using a sundial to identify the equinox please see the article on my website: Prophecy Watch : 26 Jan 2013 How To Precisely Observe And Identify The Astronomical Equinox at the following link: http://www.inthatday.net/wpcontent/uploads/2013/archive/Watch/HowToObserveEquinox.html
However it is possible to predict the occurrence of the true sun equinox days in advance by carefully examining the mean sun calculations (mathematical estimates) that we have presented on our modern calendars, although we need to find the estimation for Jerusalem time. However in using a mean sun calculation one must carefully noting the time and date at which the occurrence is estimated and then if this is cited as occurring during the evening and night hours, then to know that the next day (daylight period) is the date on which the true sun observation of the equinox will actually be occurring and would be so properly observed on a horizontal sundial: To get a record of the mean sun calculations as they occur in Jerusalem time, go to this link:
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?n=110 . (Remember to examine the dates and times carefully know they are mean calculations and not true incidences and work out when the true sun equinox would be occurring or you could be a day too early!) . Keep a copy of this page as a record for the future it presents the means sun calculations for many years to come.
4. Identifying Day 1 of The First and Seventh Months Download the mean sun calculations presented on the webpage at the above link (timeanddate.com) for Jerusalem Israel. These calculations can help you to know when you should be setting up your horizontal sundials if you want to directly observe the occurrence of the equinoxes yourself (I specifically felt convicted that Abba is calling us to practise doing the sun dial observation) or alternatively carefully work out what the True sun observations of the equinox will be from the mean sun estimates. On that webpage will be presented the calculations for both vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Examine the calculations to see if the true sun observations would actually be happening the next day. Once you have the actual true sun equinox dates, the Vernal equinox is day 1 of month of the biblical year, and the true sun equinox autumnal equinox
5. Identifying the Weekly Sabbath Once you know Day 1 of the biblical year, the Zadok formula for identifying the weekly Sabbath is that while the equinox is a sign of Day 1 of the month and the beginning of the year it is also the sign of day 4 of the biblical week. Count three days from day 1 and you will have identified the weekly biblical Sabbath. Identifying the weekly Sabbath is important to identify the count to the feast of Weeks. Without it, you will not know when to bgeing the counting of the 7 Sabbaths to the appointed time.
6. Setup a Spreadsheet (As In The Previous Template For 2015) with a simple consecutive numbering of days Follow the 2015 calendar diagram in the beginning of this article, which shows the biblical Calendar of the High Festival Days, mark in the weekly Sabbath Days, and the counting of all the days to the festivals according to the instructions of Leviticus 23, knowing that the Sabbath day sign mentioned in Leviticus 23:11 is the first weekly Sabbath that occurs during the 7 days of unleavened bread, and the day which immediately follows it is the Feast Of First Fruits, which fits the sign of Jonah – the Day of Yahushua’s resurrection which is 3 nights and days from the day of crucifixion that took place on the next day after His Passover meal with His disciples.. From the day immediately after the weekly Sabbath (the Day of First Fruits) count 7 Sabbaths / 50 days to find the day after the weekly Sabbath which is the Feast of Weeks.
7. Establising the Festivals in the 7th Month: Once having identified the true sun incidence of the autumnal equinox, you have found Day 1 of Month 7, which is the Feast of Trumpets. Count 10 days to the Day of Atonement and another 5 days to find the first day of Tabernacles. Count another 7 days to find the last days of tabernacles.
If its all to confusing simply identify the dates of the true sun equinoxes and use the spreadsheet template of columns 1 and 2 in the calendar layout I have made for this year 2015 – since the pattern of the count is exactly the same for every year you should have no difficulty. The only things that change are the associated Gregorian calendar dates and days of the week.
8. What About Identifying the Days In Each Month? From time to time I have been asked how can the days of the biblical months can be known. For some their emphasis on being able to know the dates of every month is so important that if not done to their satisfaction the simply reject the Biblical solar calendar out of hand. (in my view this insistence by some on identifying all the months in the year before the solar calendar can be acceptable to them is just a self-deceiving cover that they really do not want to let go of their “messianic movement” comfort submission zone to the authority of Rabbinicalism over their calendar, since the only reasons we are concerned about the biblical calendar is the worship of YHVH and therefore identifying His High Festival worship days. Knowing all the months does nothing for a people that is yet in exile and having to live their work life according to a Gregorian calendar.
However, if one really insists, it is in fact possible to identify the days of each of the 12 months (and there are never 13 months in the “Melchizedek Yahushua calendar” year – as the months are intimately linked to the annual circuit of the sun as it passes through the 12 ecliptic constellations (as perceived from earth) based on Gen 1:14 where the authoritative time keeping signs are definitively given as the sun and the stars. (The moon is not an authority in accurate timekeeping as it does qualify as an authority that “rules” the night because the moon is only in the night sky for some two weeks a month, every each month! The rest of the time it is somewhere around in the daytime sky! But the constellations are always there, and by them we can navigate and with the sun and the stars together we can navigate the earth with perfect time keeping to identify longitude accurately. As stated above, with the solar biblical calendar, the number of days in a biblical month is dependant on the earth’s annual orbit around the sun over the year in relation to the 12 signs (constellations) of stars on the ecliptic.
At significant periods in the history of man, the days of the annual solar year have changed, such as in the days Noah’s flood, because of changes in the earths orbit around the sun, and so the number of days occurring in a solar year changed, thereby affecting changes to the number of days in the months. But on the “Melchizedek Yahushua solar calendar” this is not a worry! The biblical High Festivals, weekly Sabbaths and even adjusted days in the m12 months of the year can be readily identified no matter how many days the soalr year is suddenly changed to! All we need to do is carefully look to the behaviour of the authoritative signs of Gen 1:14 as we move from vernal equinox to vernal equinox (the full solar year) and with the instructions of scripture we will be right!
Currently our solar year consists of 365.25 days (earth’s orbit around the sun), and the time taken for the sun to travel through each of the 12 ecliptic constellations define the biblical months – the months have days that compliment the solar year count for equinox to equinox and there is never a need for any intercalation adjustment or leap years! The matter of the .25 of a day is taken care of each as it is absorbed be the recelebration of the beginning of the year on the day on which than actual sun observance (by sundial) of the vernal equinox occurs! The Astronomical Months, As Determined By the Time The Sun Takes To Move Through The 12 Ecliptic Constellations are as Follows: (Note – these counts of days per month are precisely the same every year, and would only change with a great catastrophy that would cause the earth to change in its orbit around the sun.)
The first (astronomical) month currently has approximately 31 days and corresponds roughly to March 20 through April 19 on the Gregorian calendar. The second month currently has approximately 31 days and corresponds to roughly April 20 through May 20 on the Gregorian calendar. The third month currently has approximately 31 days and corresponds roughly to May 21 through June 20 on the Gregorian calendar. The fourth currently has approximately 32 days and corresponds roughly to June 21 through July 22 on the Gregorian calendar. The fifth month currently has approximately 31 days and corresponds roughly to July 23 through August 22 on the Gregorian calendar. The sixth month currently has approximately 31 days and corresponds roughly to August 23 through September 22 on the Gregorian calendar. The seventh month currently has approximately 30 days and corresponds roughly to September 23 through October 22 on the Gregorian calendar. The eighth month currently has approximately 31 days and corresponds roughly to October 23 through November 22 on the Gregorian calendar. The ninth month currently has approximately 29 days and corresponds roughly to November 23 through December 21 on the Gregorian calendar. The tenth month currently has approximately 29 days and corresponds roughly to December 22 through January 19 on the Gregorian calendar. The eleventh month currently has approximately 30 days and corresponds roughly to January 20 through February 18 on the Gregorian calendar. The twelfth month currently has approximately 29 or 30 days (depending on what we now call leap year) and corresponds roughly to February 19 through March 19 on the Gregorian calendar.
So with the “Melchizedek Yahushua solar (astronomical) calendar” – even if we had a catastrophe to the orbit of the earth and the days of the solar year on the earth changed to 400 or even 360 days a year – with the same formulae and patterns presented in this article we could still identify the equinoxes, the weekly Sabbaths, the biblical Feast days and even the 12 months with their new count of days – the pattern would still be in accord with the law of Moses (Lev. 23) and authoritatively intact for the correct identification of the High Festival days and the lawful order for the worship of YHVH – such is the depth of wonder of the order the Creator has established. But yet men, on the contrary, always seem to desire to develop their own authoritative calendars, which in the event of a radical sudden change to the earths orbit – get radically out of bent out shape and confused over night and take years to unravel how their calendars have become unsynchronised with the seasons! Their theologians and scholars would go into panic for sure Today many are waking up to the fact that the Rabbinic lunar calendar is but a theological construction and neither reliable nor in accordance with creation!
I expect the Rabbis will be increasingly concerned with how people are waking up to the fact that the law of Moses does not instruct the observation of the Passover to take place in the late winter, rather than the spring, periodically every three years… But what will they do about it, given that the only alternative they have is to acknowledge the ancient Zadok testimony that they, The Pharisee Rabbis, are guilty of the profanement of the biblical lawful worship calendar, which they did when they took control for themselves of the Second Temple in Judea in the decades just prior to the first advent of the Great Teacher of Righteousness, Yahushua Melchizedek, the only One who is able – according to biblical credential – to take away the sins of His people and to restore Jacob to the biblical messianic era ! Be baruch In Yahushua Melchizedek! Our soon coming Sovereign!

D. How the Ancient Hebrew Calendar is Built:
The month by month’s guide below is modified with permission from the calendar frame work provided by Daniel de Caussin; we share the same way of counting of the year but we hold a different opinion on the counting of the weekly shabbat day! Please refer to his file this link here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Enoch.prophecies/909233215774667/
“RECENT FINDINGS At Qumran in 1947, there were apocalyptic scrolls found, and among them the Books of Jubilees and the Second Mikdash writings of Enoch I which discuss the calendar and dating system by which these people lived.
Scholars had been attentive of the Apocryphal Calendar before this find, but interest was renewed with the discovery of these scrolls by which the Qumran sect lived. It is based on 364 days per year. The year is divided into four periods (to correspond to the four seasons of the year), of 13 weeks or 91 days in each period. There are 12 months in each year or a total of 52 weeks.
By using this exact measure and beginning the year on the 4th day of the week just after the vernal equinox, the Set Apart days fall exactly on the same day, in the same month, every year. This calendar warrants extensive study, as there are now numerous proofs it was the calendar used by Abraham, King Solomon, King David, and High Priest Zadok in the First Qodesh Mikdash.
A different calendar was used in the Second Commonwealth, but that Mikdash had no Presence, no Ark of the Covenant, and no means for its apostate priesthood to communicate directly with יהוה. In fact, it is recorded that 300 high priests during the second Mikdash period, died when they went into the Most Kodesh Place on Yom Kippur. Something, perhaps many things, were wrong with the Second Mikdash Cult. A team of scholars was appointed to study the scrolls in 1952. They became an elite and secretive clique. In 1991 this monopoly was effectively broken when the Huntington Library in California announced it would allow public access to its collection of Dead Sea Scrolls photographs.
This was soon followed by the publication of a Facsimile Edition by the Biblical Archaeology Society in Washington, D.C. Until this time scholars previously controlling access to the Scrolls had been publicly contending that there was nothing interesting in the remaining unpublished Scrolls and nothing throwing further light on Judaism and Christianity’s rise in Palestine. (The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered, Professor Robert Eisenman & Michael Wise).
The Zadokite Essene calendar, the calendar attested in I Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, consisted of a solar calendar of 364 days divided into seven-day weeks, twelve months of thirty days each except for one extra day in the last month of each quarter (Jaubert 1965:27; Pfeiffer 1969:64-65; Vanderkam 1998:55; Finegan 1998:44).
The Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles, and Feast of the Great Day (often seen as the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles), always began on the 4th day of the week ( There is NO Wednesday yet in the 1st century),
The feast of Passover actually start on the 3rd day (Tuesday) evening, as the Jews began days at evening not midnight (Jaubert 1965:10; Simon 1967:73).
Trumpets, Tabernacles, and the Great Day always occurred in the seventh month as set forth in the Law of Moses (Leviticus 23:24-44).
As Nisan 15, the annual Sabbath, or Passover Sabbath, marking the start of the seven-day Feast of Unleavened bread began at sunset the fourth day night, the Essene observance of the Passover Seder was always on the third day evening of the week (Finegan 1998:43, 48).)
The Talmud does not explain this calendar exactly, but does mention the argument of the calendars between the Pharisees and Sadducees…
We (the Editors of this website) are observing according to the exact same principal as mentioned above. Once we identify the first day of the year is the 4th day of the week…hence we will know that 3 days later is the 7th Shabbat Day…In the Essene day, there is NO “Wednesday”…beginning the 1st day of the year on the 4th day of the week after verified the vernal equinox, the PassOver Feast days fall exactly on the same 4th day of the week, the 14th day in the same month, every year. Which bring us to the same Resurrection day every year: after our Messiah Yahushua was buried 3 days 3 nights, He arose before the sunset/before the ending of the 7th day weekly Shabbat! HalleluYah, HE is the Mater of our Shabbat!!

שבת – Sabbath On this calendar, every seventh day is called a sabbath. See h7676 Additionally, the word sabbath is also associated to the concepts of rest and cessation. See h7673 – 7676
High Sabbath or Sabbath’own – שבתון A Sabbath’own, see h7677, is a Great or High Sabbath, and it can also be a Solemn Sabbath. It may occur on a day that is not a seventh day Sabbath indicating that this day is a special day of rest or solemnity.
Solemn Assembly or Atsara – עצרה An Atsara, see h6116, is a Solemn Assembly. It is characterized as an assembly called to be solemn. To be solemn is to not be cheerful and a time in which there is deep sincerity within the people in that assembly.
Set Apart Convocation or Miqra Qodesh – קדש מקרא A Miqra Qodesh, see h4744 and h6944, or Set Apart Convocation is set up for gatherings to remember set-apart days. These are, by definition, large formal assemblies of people.
The first example of this is the day after passover calling for an assembly to remember the feast of Unleavened Bread. Call for many to appear or Ra’ah Paniym – פנים ראה Ex 23:14-17 Three times a year all males are commanded to appear before YHWH/Yah’oah. These times are outlined as the feasts of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and In Gathering.
This Hebrew word ra’ah at h7200, has the feeling of to see something as in to feel, smell, behold, to perceive in the heart, and to hear a thing. In an assembly of this nature, all these things would be happening to the attendee. And the Hebrew word paniym at h6437, has the feeling of turning oneself as in to face a new direction, and as in to change one’s walk in a different direction. The idea was to turn one’s walk in life towards the path of YHWH/Yah’oah and the Torah (instructions). When we error from the mark, we err from the concept of love of Father, love of neighbor, and the concept of the family (father and mother). Therefore, these Ra’ah Paniym, were designed to realign the males so they could better guide their families and communities.
Month one
Step One
Let’s start building the Calendar starting in Exodus 12 where we are given in Torah that the first month has a first day.
Exodus 12: 1
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, 2 “This month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for you.We learn the first day begins on the Spring Equinox. We will revisit this later in this document.
Enoch 72:34 So as at the beginning the year comes back to its course where the day becomes longer, and each night becomes shorter. see also Ex 13:4, Ex 23:15, Ex 34:18, Deut 16:1, Enoch 72:6 After we verify the Spring Equinox, that day we start the calendar. as day one.
By using shadows on sticks in the ground the Spring Equinox can be verified, or go to this web site and type Jerusalem for the location. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?n=110
Please note that the team producing this document and Hebrew translations, with prayer and by leadership of the Spirit of Truth, which is the hand of יהוה YHWH.
The days that come as the first day are special days to יהוה. Through Yahh, our Father Av has given us Torah to follow. Whenever we are given teachings, instructions, or direction, it is always designed for our benefit.

Fun Fact about the Day 31: the “intercalary.”
Enoch 75
And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office. According to the reckoning of the year, these render service on the four days, which are not counted in the calculation of the year.
2 On account of these men go wrong, for those luminaries truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first gate, one in the third gate of the heaven, one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate, and the exactness of the year is accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations.
Night and Day
Why does a day begin at sunset? The first clue is found in Genesis 1:5
… It became evening, and then it became the morrow. This was the first day of a multitude of days.
The stars or Angels are the leaders of the Calendar. They have been given a job, and by oath keep it in perfect and constant order. The Stars enter first.
Another clue comes from Enoch.
Enoch 82:8 He has power over night and day in the heaven to cause the light to give light to men from the sun, moon, and stars, and all the powers of the heaven, which revolve in their circular chariots. 9 These are the orders of the stars, which set in their places, and in their seasons, festivals, and months. 10 And these are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter at their times, in their orders, in their seasons, in their months, in their periods of dominion, and in their positions. 11 Their four leaders who divide the four parts of the year enter first; and after them the twelve leaders of the orders who divide the months; and for the three hundred and sixty days there are heads over thousands who divide the days; and for the four intercalary days there are the leaders which divide the four parts of the year.
Woe
Yet another clue comes in the form of a Great Woe. Woe to us! This is clear! Do not to use the “day”, or sun rising, as the start of the day. By using the sunrise as the start of the day, this is following the lead of the Treacherous Watchers!
Enoch 82:4 Blessed are all the righteous. Blessed are all those who walk in the way of righteousness and do not as the sinners, the treacherous Watchers in the reckoning of all their days in which the sun traverses the heaven entering into and departing from the gates for thirty days with the heads of thousands of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated which divide the four portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them four days.
How do we know the First Day and Duration of a Year?
According to Enoch, a year has 364 days. Each year has 52 Sabbaths, every year for all generations. There are no leap days, or leap months. Other calendars count every day of the year. This requires the use of leap days as in a Gregorian calendar, leap months as in a Jewish Lunar-solar calendar.
The way to handle the fact that a year has 365.2422 days in a year is this difference of 1.2422 days is just waited out and not counted. We wait and observe the Spring Equinox to occur. The ancients required a constellation and the point where the sun rose through the constellation during the last observed equinox. When the Spring Equinox is confirmed, that day the new year begins. The two witnesses to this first day are the Stars and the Sun.
You can see how the stars are used at Enoch 74:
12 The sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days.
13 In three solar [and Sidereal] years there are 1,092 days [3 times 364], and in five years 1,820 days [5 times 364], and in eight years there are 2,912 days [8 times 364].
Thirteen weeks for each season and Four seasons, and a total of 52 weeks in the Year
Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon(first day) of the first month, and on the new moon(first day) of the fourth month, and on the new moon(first day) of the seventh month, and on the new moon(first Day) of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained 24 as a testimony forever. 29 … each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the 30 third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete.
Another point to bring up from Enoch 74 is the fact that two methods of ensuring accuracy were employed. The solar and sidereal cycles are similar in duration. At Enoch 74:12 The Sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. A principle in the Hebrew language is that when you double something you are emphasizing its importance. So here we see that two methods are used for verification. This is because of the importance of this ancient calendar.
The Stars have a cycle used for calendars and time keeping. Their cycle is called a Sidereal cycle. The length of a sidereal day is 23.93446 hours. The length of a sidereal year is 365.25 days. Sidereal time is calculated from watching the stars and their relation to the revolution of the earth on its axis and the rotation of earth around the sun. Notice that the times for the day and the year are very similar to that of the solar cycle.
Two witnesses to confirm the first day
The consistency of the star’s location and the sun’s location are used as two witnesses to the first day of the calendar so that we all, from generation to generation, can observe the sabbath on the same seventh day, and the feast days on their appointed days and times.
The Duration of 24 hours
The Earth revolves around its axis at a fairly constant rate. Its rate is affected by earthquakes and other cosmic influences. Nevertheless, it does change, but the change is so small it is almost undetectable. A leap second was added in 1972, and 40 years later one in 2012. This is a testament to Father’s hand in this situation.
What is a Day?
The Hebrew word yom has several meanings. Using a Gesenius, a Benner, and a Klein Lexicon we see these meanings for the word יום: heat, the day, a day, a festival day, time, at that time, then, at some time, at the time in which – as in the word “when”. The definition of this word is important to consider because the word יום is used in Genesis 1:5 to describe the first day. It was called a yom even though the sun was not created. The sun has nothing to do with the usage of this term. The same is true for Genesis 1:8, and 13. In this case the first three days where counted as days. Perhaps by the precision of the earth’s rotation. YHWH/Yaha’oha was the light that was provided for those three days. His presence was the light source. As we read in the Revelation of John 22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
Step two
Next step in understanding the Torah of the Calendar is in Leviticus. We are told that we are to work for six days and then on the seventh day we are to rest.
Leviticus 23 (from a translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls):
1 And יהוה spoke by turning towards Moshe and commanded by saying,
2 speak by turning yourself towards the sons of Yisra’el. Say to them as you motion towards them; Your places where you assemble on a regular basis, יהוה said, in order for you to be successful, call a meeting to read from the Scroll. Read to all those assembled in that place. Call out and encourage them to come towards you.
Doing these things are Set Apart and are for reverence and adoration at that time during their assembly.
3 Six times you are to produce by labor, the service that is prescribed to a person. And then on the seventh day, you are to return to your habitation to rest and cease from your prescribed work.
Use this day to consider what it takes to cease from our labor in an assembly with a reading from the Kadosh Scroll.
Whatsoever service is prescribed to anyone, you are not to labor over this anymore. Cease from your labor and adjust your focus towardsיהוה with an idea that all things in the farm or home are done and complete for this day. By adjusting your focus towards to, יהוה you can rest your mind in your assembly of persons that have come together for sitting.
This verse is part of a list of the various Angels and their main responsibilities.
Enoch 20:6 Saraqael, one of the set-apart Messengers, who is over those people which have a desire to keep Sabbath.
Just amazing. There is an Angel who is assigned to watch over those who desire to keep Sabbath.
Keeping the seventh day Sabbath as a separate day is for all people who want to keep it.
Isaiah 56:
3 “And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to יהוה speak, saying, ‘יהוה has certainly separated me from His people,’ nor let the eunuch say, ‘Look I am a dry tree.’ ”
4 For thus said יהוה, “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and hold fast to My covenant:
5 to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off.
6 “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant –
7 them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their slaughtering’s are accepted on My altar, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 The Master יהוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.”
Difference between a Sabbath day and a day of Set Apart Convocation
In Leviticus 23:3 we receive Torah concerning rest on the seventh day and that we should read together on this seventh day, and that we should consider all work any of us have been prescribed to do as completed, and that we are to call out an encourage others to join in the reading of the Scroll, and to use this day as a day of reverence and adoration of all things our Father Av has provided to us through YHWH. A Sabbath rest has been appointed for every seventh day throughout the year. Sabbath means rest, Sabbath does not mean seventh day. We have associated the seventh day and Sabbath because of the Torah to have a Sabbath on the Seventh day. Nevertheless, a day of Sabbath can be appointed on days that are not the seventh day. We see this at Leviticus 23.
27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.
29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
30 “And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.
31 “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”
We see here in these verses that both the ninth day and the tenth day of Month Seven are appointed as a day of rest, a Sabbath day, and notice on the calendar that these days are not on the seventh day.
So what is the difference between a Sabbath and a Kadosh Convocation? A Sabbath is a command directed towards an individual. The individual must rest from their prescribed work. The command of a Set Apart Convocation is directed towards an assembly of people. An assembly can praise Yahh in Hymn singing, Dance, and group reading of the Kadosh Scroll. We read that some Set Apart Convocations are also days where a Sabbath is commanded to have rest from our individually prescribed work. This is what we read above in Leviticus 23:32.
In both a Sabbath rest and during a Kodash Convocation, people did not sit around doing nothing. We have to be somewhat active to eat and drink and the animals need to eat and drink, too. In Leviticus 23:3 we read that the key to this rest day is the focus of our mind and heart. Our mind and heart are more precious than the act of sitting down.
Lev 23:3 Six times you are to produce by labor, the service that is prescribed to a person. And then on the seventh day, you are to return to your habitation to rest and cease from your prescribed work.
Use this day to consider what it takes to cease from our labor in an assembly with a reading from the Set Apart Scroll.
Whatsoever service is prescribed to anyone, you are not to labor over this anymore. Cease from your labor and adjust your focus towards YHWH with an idea that all things in the farm or home are done and complete for this day. By adjusting your focus towards YHWH, you can rest your mind in your assembly of persons that have come together for sitting.
So now we can build the Calendar in this second step. We will add the Sabbath day.

Fun Fact about the seventh day
It seems silly to say that the Shabbat day is always the Gregorian Saturday day. It is consistently the Shabbat day in a cycle of seven days. A year has 364 days. Note that 364/7=52. There are 52 Sabbaths in a year. The Torah is clear that every seven days, during the year, we have a Sabbath. To begin a calendar on any other day by not using a seven day period leading up to a Sabbath, is following a method that does not adhere to Torah instruction.
The focus of the Sabbath is the command from our Creator Father Av, that the seventh day of rest is after the sixth day of work.
The example at the creation, was six days of work, and then the rest.
Ex 20:9 “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה baruch the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Here again in Exodus 20 we read that the focus is the number of days.
The word (day) יום in Hebrew can also mean a time period, or time itself, and the heat of the day, and to be warm, the opposite of night, a festival day.
The example we have in Genesis 1, is the use of the word day. A “day” was founded on the fact that a “day” is a time period established on the completion of one rotation of the earth on its axis. It has nothing to do with the sun’s appearance at all. We have proof of this in the first three creation days. The days were called days without a sun.
The point is, the seventh day is after a six day period, was to be the focus of the day of rest, is reiterated at Exodus 20:11, 31:15, 17, 32:12, 34:21, 35:2, Leviticus 23:3, Deuteronomy 5:13, Ezekiel 46:1, and Luke 13:14.
Step Three
Exodus 12 (from The Scriptures Version 1998):
1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
4 ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.
5 ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings.
Let us first look at the three facts here; We are told to observe the First month, the tenth day of this month, and the fourteenth day of this month.

In Exodus 12:3, we read that a lamb or a goat was to be selected. A perfect one year old male. This lamb is called a paschal lamb. This lamb is intended for פסח pronounced Pe-sa-kh. The kh is a guttural sound from the back of the throat. פסח means to pass over, to pass by or to spare. This word does have other uses; nevertheless, this is the word for the feast called Passover.
We also read in the torah of the Passover observance at Exodus 12:14, Leviticus 23:5, Numbers 28:16, Deuteronomy 16:1, and in Jubilees 49:1.
Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread
To build the next line in the Ancient Hebrew Calendar, we need to read Leviticus 23 again.
Leviticus 23 (from a Translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls)
4 These things that follow are the set times of YHWH/Yaha’oha. They are to come from the person who calls people towards them to read from the Qodesh Scroll. To be successful, what is desired is that you cry out to all the multitude at each of these set times.
5 In the beginning of the year in the first month in the fourteenth day of the month just after when you can distinguish the division which starts the day, when there is still enough light to see things after the sunset; This is the time for YHWH’s “Passover” of Sparing the first born.
6 On the Fifteenth day, in the beginning of the year, perceive in your mind a circle for dancing. This circle is like the unleavened bread which is YHWH/Yaha’oha. And for seven times, as in seven days, you are commanded to eat this unleavened bread.
7 On the first day call a Qodesh assembly, and let it come to pass, you are to subdue your working of the work that is prescribed to you, for it is a service of obligation not to labor over something.
8 In coming together, in order to be close, you will bring a sacrifice of healing, which is YHWH/Yaha’oha, seven times as in each of the seven days. And the day time of the seventh day is a Qodesh Convocation for you shall read the Qodesh Scroll and you are to subdue your working of the work that is prescribed to you, for it is a service of obligation not to labor over something on this day.
In Jubilee 6:24-25 ... And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever, 25 so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him. And on the new moon (first day) of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an ark,

Step Four
We are going to add the last two lines in the Calendar for Month One. From the Spring Equinox to the last day we have 30 days. We find this in Enoch 72:8-13 where we read of a cycle of days consisting of 30 days, then 30 days, then 31 days.
The year is divided into four seasons, each consisting of 91 days. The first two months of each season has 30 days and the last month of each season has 31 days. Each year has 364 days. These 364 days per year is done in prudent understanding and divine counsel, so that the calendar is always the same for generation to generation.
There is no leap days, or leap months. This is a common way to handle the fact that a year has 365.25 days in a year. So this difference of 1.25 days is just waited out and not counted. We wait and observe the Spring Equinox to occur. It requires Sunshine to confirm it. When the Spring Equinox is observed, that day begins the new year. We see how this is determined at Leviticus 23:5 … just after when you can distinguish the division which starts the day, when there is still enough light to see things after the sunset; this is the time for the YHWH’s Passover of Sparing the first born.
We now have added the appointed days we are to remember from generation to generation in Month one.
Remembrance Day, day 1
Day 1 is the day to remember Noah’s exit from the Ark and the covenant of not to eat blood. Jubilees 6:1-12
Bring First Fruits, day 19
Day 19 we read this is the day to bring in your first fruits. Jubilee 15:1, and Jubilee 16:13-14 This day is a Qodesh Convocation. Leviticus 23:20-21 were we see the priest waves harvest sheaves, and two lambs that will be sacrificed.
Feasts of Weeks, and Feast of First Fruits, starts day 25
Day 25 is the First day of the Feast of Weeks. This feast lasts for 50 days. Another name for this last day of the feast is Pentecost. Jubilees 6:17-22, Exodus 34:22, and Leviticus 23:15-21 This day is also the Feast of First Fruits. We read this at Jubilee 6:21. This day is also the day for the Wave Offering and Burnt Offering of Grain, Incense, and Wine. We read of this in Leviticus 23:11-13. Day 25 is one of the three days that Males are required to have a convocation. We see this at Deuteronomy 16:16.
Next add the appointed days to the calendar.
Pentecost
Leviticus 23:15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.
16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.
17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.
18 ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
19 ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old, as a peace offering.
20 ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה for the priest.
21 ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Step Two
Next we need to add the appointed day we are to remember from generation to generation. For Month Two we read in Number 9:6-11 that men that are unclean, or on a journey can celebrate Passover on Month Two on Day fourteen.
Numbers 9 (from The Scriptures 1998 version)
6 But there were men who were defiled for a being of a man, so that they were not able to perform the Passover on that day. So they came before Mosheh and Aharon that day,
7 and those men said to him, “We are defiled for the being of a man. Why are we withheld from bringing near the offering of יהוה at its appointed time among the children of Yisra’ĕl?”
8 And Mosheh said to them, “Wait, let me hear what יהוה commands concerning you.”
9 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When any male of you or your generations is unclean for a being, or is far away on a journey, he shall still perform the Passover of יהוה.
11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, between the evenings, they perform it – with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they eat it.
In Numbers 9:11 we see a curious phrase, “between the evenings.” This is a traditional understanding of this term, from the Gesenius Lexicon; When the sun visibly dips behind the horizon, this is the first evening, and the second evening is the time while the sun’s light is still visible and all is dark, which is then called the night.
Doing something between the evenings, is the period when you can still see to do things. When slaughtering a lamb, you need to use a sharp knife and this requires some light to be safe in what you are doing.
To get an idea of what makes a man unclean, please read the entire chapters of Leviticus 11, Leviticus 13, and Numbers 5.
Month Three
Step One
The Months with 31 days
In months with 31 days, there is a technical term for this ‘Thirty First’ day; it is “intercalary.” The definition of this word is; A day that is inserted into a calendar to make it harmonize with the year. In some calendars these are leap days, and leap months. The Ancient Calendar given to Enoch does not have any leap days or leap months. It has always been the same each year, and will continue to be consistent from generation to generation.
Fun Fact about Day 31
Enoch 75
And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the four intercalary days, being inseparable from their office. According to the reckoning of the year, these render service on the four days, which are not counted in the calculation of the year.
2 On account of these men go wrong, for those luminaries truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first gate, one in the third gate of the heaven, one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate, and the exactness of the year is accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations.
Night and Day
Why does a day begin at sunset? The first clue is found in Genesis 1:5
… It became evening, and then it became the morrow. This was the first day of a multitude of days.
The stars or Angels are the leaders of the Calendar. They have been given a job, and by oath keep it in perfect and constant order. The Stars enter first.
Another clue comes from Enoch.
Enoch 82:8 He has power over night and day in the heaven to cause the light to give light to men from the sun, moon, and stars, and all the powers of the heaven, which revolve in their circular chariots. 9 These are the orders of the stars, which set in their places, and in their seasons, festivals, and months. 10 And these are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter at their times, in their orders, in their seasons, in their months, in their periods of dominion, and in their positions. 11 Their four leaders who divide the four parts of the year enter first; and after them the twelve leaders of the orders who divide the months; and for the three hundred and sixty days there are heads over thousands who divide the days; and for the four intercalary days there are the leaders which divide the four parts of the year.
Woe
Yet another clue comes in the form of a Great Woe. Woe to us! This is clear! Do not to use the “day”, or sun rising, as the start of the day. By using the sunrise as the start of the day, this is following the lead of the Treacherous Watchers!
Enoch 82:4 Baruch are all the righteous. Blessed are all those who walk in the way of righteousness and do not as the sinners, the treacherous Watchers in the reckoning of all their days in which the sun traverses the heaven entering into and departing from the gates for thirty days with the heads of thousands of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated which divide the four portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them four days.
How do we know the First Day and Duration of a Year?
According to Enoch, a year has 364 days. Each year has 52 Sabbaths, every year for all generations. There are no leap days, or leap months. Other calendars count every day of the year. This requires the use of leap days as in a Gregorian calendar, leap months as in a Jewish Lunar-solar calendar.
The way to handle the fact that a year has 365.2422 days in a year is this difference of 1.2422 days is just waited out and not counted. We wait and observe the Spring Equinox to occur. The ancients required a constellation and the point where the sun rose through the constellation during the last observed equinox. When the Spring Equinox is confirmed, that evening at sunset the new year begins. The two witnesses to this first day are the Stars and the Sun.
You can see how the stars are used at Enoch 74:
12 The sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days.
13 In three solar [and Sidereal] years there are 1,092 days [3 times 364], and in five years 1,820 days [5 times 364], and in eight years there are 2,912 days [8 times 364].
Thirteen weeks for each season and Four seasons, and a total of 52 weeks in the Year
Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon(first day) of the first month, and on the new moon(first day) of the fourth month, and on the new moon (First Day) of the seventh month, and on the new moon(First Day) of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained 24 as a testimony forever. 29 … each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the 30 third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete.
Another point to bring up from Enoch 74 is the fact that two methods of ensuring accuracy were employed. The solar and sidereal cycles are similar in duration. At Enoch 74:12 The Sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity, but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. A principle in the Hebrew language is that when you double something you are emphasizing its importance. So here we see that two methods are used for verification. This is because of the importance of this ancient calendar.
The Stars have a cycle used for calendars and time keeping. Their cycle is called a Sidereal cycle. The length of a sidereal day is 23.93446 hours. The length of a sidereal year is 365.25 days. Sidereal time is calculated from watching the stars and their relation to the revolution of the earth on its axis and the rotation of earth around the sun. Notice that the times for the day and the year are very similar to that of the solar cycle.
Two witnesses to confirm the first day
The consistency of the star’s location and the sun’s location are used as two witnesses to the first day of the calendar so that we all, from generation to generation, can observe the Sabbath on the same seventh day, and the feast days on their appointed days and times.
The Duration of 24 hours
The Earth revolves around its axis at a fairly constant rate. Its rate is affected by earthquakes and other cosmic influences. Nevertheless, it does change, but the change is so small it is almost undetectable. A leap second was added in 1972, and 40 years later one in 2012. This is a testament to Father’s hand in this situation.
What is a Day?
The Hebrew word yom has several meanings. Using a Gesenius, a Benner, and a Klein Lexicon we see these meanings for the word יום: heat, the day, a day, a festival day, time, at that time, then, at some time, at the time in which – as in the word “when”. The definition of this word is important to consider because the word יום is used in Genesis 1:5 to describe the first day. It was called a yom even though the sun was not created. The sun has nothing to do with the usage of this term. The same is true for Genesis 1:8, and 13. In this case the first three days where counted as days. Perhaps by the precision of the earth’s rotation. YHWH/ Yaha’oha was the light that was provided for those three days. His presence was the light source. As we read in the Revelation of John 22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
Okay, after all that information, here is the Third Month.
Notice that is starts on Day 1 because the Month Two ends on the Day 7

Month Four
The first three months were the first quarter of the year. We call it Spring time. The First Day of Month Four marks the beginning of the next quarter. We call it Summer. The calendar was used for religious and civil activities, and for farmers. For farmers, it was used to mark the time to accomplish activities required to have a successful harvest.
Step One
This is easy. It is repeating Month1. It is the same except for the appointed feast and remembrance days.
You will notice that each quarter repeats. Months 1-3 which are the first quarter, repeat into 4-6 which are the second quarter, and then 6-9 which are the third quarter, and lastly 10-12 which are the fourth quarter.

In Jubilee 6:23-26 we read the command to remember the first day of this month for two reasons. In Jubilees, and in other scripture, the Hebrew phrase new moon can also be translated as the new of the month, or what we would call the first day.
Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon of the first month, and on the new moon of the fourth month, and on the new moon of the seventh month, and on the new moon of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained
24 as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever,
25 so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him.
26 … And on the new moon of the fourth month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed.
Lev 23:
12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.
16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.
17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.
18 ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
19 ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old, as a peace offering.
20 ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה for the priest.
21 ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Next we add the appointed days. There are five days to add.
Trumpets, day 1
Leviticus 23:23 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
24 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a set-apart gathering.
25 ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.’ ”
Numbers 29: 1 ‘And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work, it is a day of blowing the trumpets for you.
2 ‘And you shall prepare a burnt offering as a sweet fragrance to יהוה: one young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones,
3 and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,
4 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs,
5 and one male goat as a sin offering, to make atonement for you,
6 besides the burnt offering with its grain offering for the New Moon (first day), the continual burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to their right-ruling, as a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Remembrance Day, day 1
Jubilee 5: 29 ... and on the new moon of the seventh month all the mouths of the abysses 30 of the earth were opened, and the water began to descend into the deep below.
Jubilee 6:23 And on the new moon (first day) of the first month, and on the new moon (first day) of the fourth month, and on the new moon (first day) of the seventh month, and on the new moon (first day) of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained
24 as a testimony for ever.
26 …And on the new moon (first day) of the seventh month all the mouths of
27 the abysses of the earth were opened and the waters began to descend into them.
Yom Kapar, days 9-10
Notice that there are two days appointed for Yom Kapar. The first day is for preparation. It is a day of rest, or a sabbath. This is another example of a day of rest, or a day of sabbath that is appointed on a day that is not on the seventh day.
Leviticus 16:
1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh after the death of the two sons of Aharon, as they drew near before יהוה, and died.
2 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Speak to Aharon your brother not to come in at all times to the Set-apart Place inside the veil, before the lid of atonement which is on the ark, lest he die, because I appear in the cloud above the lid of atonement.
3 “With this Aharon should come into the Set-apart Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.
4 “He should put on the set-apart linen long shirt, with linen trousers on his flesh, and gird himself with a linen girdle, and be dressed with the linen turban – they are set-apart garments. And he shall bathe his body in water, and shall put them on.
5 “And from the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl he takes two male goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.
6 “And Aharon shall bring the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.
7 “And he shall take the two goats and let them stand before יהוה at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 “And Aharon shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for יהוה and the other lot for Azazel.
9 “And Aharon shall bring the goat on which the lot for יהוה fell, and shall prepare it as a sin offering.
10 “But the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell is caused to stand alive before יהוה, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness to Azazel.
11 “And Aharon shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall slaughter the bull as the sin offering which is for himself,
12 and shall take a fire holder filled with burning coals of fire from the altar before יהוה, with his hands filled with sweet incense beaten fine, and shall bring it inside the veil.
13 “And he shall put the incense on the fire before יהוה, and the cloud of incense shall cover the lid of atonement which is on the Witness, lest he die.
14 “And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the lid of atonement on the east side, also in front of the lid of atonement he sprinkles some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 “And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, and shall bring its blood inside the veil, and shall do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the lid of atonement and in front of the lid of atonement.
16 “And he shall make atonement for the Set-apart Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because of their transgressions in all their sins. And so he does for the Tent of Meeting which is dwelling with them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 “And no man should be in the Tent of Meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Set-apart Place, until he comes out. And he shall make atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl.
18 “And he shall go out to the altar that is before יהוה, and make atonement for it. And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around.
19 “And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and set it apart from the uncleanness of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
20 “And when he has finished atoning for the Set-apart Place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat.
21 “Then Aharon shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and shall confess over it all the crookednesses of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a fit man.
22 “And the goat shall bear on itself all their crookednesses, to a land cut off. Thus he shall send the goat away into the wilderness.
23 “Aharon shall then come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Set-apart Place, and shall leave them there.
24 “And he shall bathe his body in water in the set-apart place, and shall put on his garments, and shall come out and prepare his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people,
25 and burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 “And he who sent away the goat to Azazel washes his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward he comes into the camp.
27 “And the bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Set-apart Place, is brought outside the camp. And they shall burn their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire.
28 “And he who burns them washes his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward he comes into the camp.
29 “And this shall be for you a law forever: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you afflict your beings, and do no work, the native or the stranger who sojourns among you.
30 “For on that day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you, to be clean from all your sins before יהוה.
31 “It is a Sabbath of rest for you, and you shall afflict your beings – a law forever.
32 “And the priest, who is anointed and ordained to serve as priest in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, the set-apart garments,
33 and he shall make atonement for the Most Set-apart Place, and make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar, and make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
34 “And this shall be for you a law forever, to make atonement for the children of Yisra’ĕl, for all their sins, once a year.” And he did as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
Leviticus 23: 26 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.
29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
30 “And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.
31 “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”
Leviticus 16:31 from The Translation version
31 This is a day to stop all labor to celebrate the sabbath of the One who provides rest. And you are to look and sigh out of a passionate expression of sorrow and grief.
You who has solemnly, and with a loud voice cried out when you realized you have done an action that causes a stain.
You who do these things, to celebrate the rest of the One who provides rest and cry out in sorrow for these stains, will find refreshment and bring life to those who pine for the laws and ordinances of Heaven.
In this translated version of Leviticus 16:31 above, notice that the word afflict is ענה and it has two definitions. The first one is used to describe; to sing, to call, to read, solemnly with a loud voice, to lift up the voice, to begin to speak, to answer, to signify h6030. The second definition is to make someone to labor, to exercise oneself in something, to be afflicted as in depressed and oppressed, to submit to someone, to fast h6031. On a day of rest we are not to work, so the second definition should not be used. This translation uses the first definition.
Numbers 29:7 ‘And on the tenth day of this seventh month you have a set-apart gathering, and you shall afflict your beings, you do no work.
8 ‘And you shall bring near a burnt offering to יהוה, a sweet fragrance: one young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones they are for you,
9 and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram,
10 one-tenth for each of the seven lambs,
11 one male goat as a sin offering, besides the sin offering for atonement, the continual burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings.
Feast of Tabernacles (sukkot) and Feast of In-Gathering, days 15-22
Festival of Tabernacles (sukkot) days 15-21
Leviticus 23:33 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
34 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Booths for seven days to יהוה.
35 ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work.
37 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to יהוה, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every day –
38 besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you give to יהוה.
Feast of In-Gathering days 15-21
Leviticus 23:
39 ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the fruit of the land, observe the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
40 ‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days.
41 ‘And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה for seven days in the year – a law forever in your generations. Observe it in the seventh month.
42 ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites dwell in booths,
43 so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ĕl dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
Exodus 23 15 – and do not appear before Me empty-handed;
16 and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field.
17 “Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master יהוה.
Notice here in verse 15-17 that all males must attend, and they are not to show up empty handed and must contribute to the celebration.
Numbers 29:12 ‘And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. And you shall observe a festival to יהוה seven days,
Day 22 closing day of these two festivals is both a rest day and a Holy Convocation
Numbers 29:35 ‘On the eighth day you have an assembly, you do no servile work,
36 and you shall bring near a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה: one bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones,
37 their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the right-ruling,
38 and one goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.

Time to Wait
Month 12, day 31 is the last day of the calendar, and it is the 364th day in the calendar.
So now we wait. In this waiting period we do not count the day number. There are actually 1.2422 days in this waiting period. It seems odd in a society that counts every minute as if they are precious, to have a waiting period that is not counted.
We simply wait it out, and confirm the Spring Equinox has occurred. This waiting period becomes like a reset button on a timing device. When the Spring Equinox is confirmed, we start Month One, Day 1.
This repeats for Generation, to Generation, and it never changes. This calendar is the same today, as it was in the Time of Enoch when he first received it from the Sky traveler/ the author.
Additional Items
Command for Men to appear, three times
Exodus 34:21 “Six days you work, but on the seventh day you rest – in ploughing time and in harvest you rest.
22 “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
23 “Three times in the year all your men are to appear before the Master, יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl,
Command to wear Tzitziyot , days 1-364
Numbers 15:37 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
38 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them to make tzitziyot on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue cord in the tzitzit of the corners.
39 “And it shall be to you for a tzitzit, and you shall see it, and shall remember all the commands of יהוה and shall do them, and not search after your own heart and your own eyes after which you went whoring,
40 so that you remember, and shall do all My commands, and be set-apart unto your Elohim.
41 “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am יהוה your Elohim.”
How to Determine the Spring Equinox
The most important thing to do is to determine the date and time of the Spring Equinox.
The easiest thing to do today is look it up from data provided by some astronomical service. Here is an example site: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/march-equinox.html Many sites let you enter your location. Remember that March 20th in the Americas is March 21st in Asia. This is due to the international date line.
<To get a record of the mean sun calculations as they occur in Jerusalem time, go to this link: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?n=110 . (Remember to examine the dates and times carefully know they are mean calculations and not true incidences and work out when the true sun equinox> :
Combining the Gregorian calendar 2014 and the Calendar Revealed to Enoch
For all practical reasons, I will show how to couple the Gregorian Calendar to the Calendar revealed to Enoch. This 2015 calendar set is relative to people who live east of the international date line. As in people living in North America. See below, calendars for people living west of the date line.

F. Taken from “THE JUBILEE CALENDAR” by Mikhael Bauer
“….The Encyclopedia of Religion And Ethics records that even into the 9th Century C.E. remaining Zaddikim observed Solar months of 30 days, similar to this Egyptian Solar Calendar. The Zaddikim (called the Sadducees in the English Bible) were a sect formed of Priests, merchants, and aristocrats. Their name derives from Zadok, the high priest in the days of King David. Y’chezkel (Ezekiel 40:46; 43:19 & 44:10-15) selected this family as worthy of being entrusted with the control of the Mikdash. They were the conservative priestly group, holding to the older doctrines.
The Qumran Community, composed of these Zaddikim observed the Solar Jubilee Calendar.
Moshe had been educated as a prince in Egypt. His knowledge of the solar calendar was evidently passed to his brother Aharon; and this knowledge remained with Aharon and the priesthood. Egypt kept a year of 365 days. Every four years this calendar would fall one day short of the solar cycle. The Jubilee (solar) calendar, with 364 days, would fall five days short in the same period of time. However by observing the Biblical command concerning when to begin the year, this calendar would remain correct – and the High Holy Days would fall on the same day of the week every year.
………..
“The distinguished scholar Geza Vermes has written ‘To the (Qumran) Community this (the Lunar calendar) was an abomination of the Gentiles and directly counter to the certain Law from the mouth of G-d. It had itself (the Qumran Community) inherited, probably from priestly circles, a solar calendar based on the laws of the Great Light in heaven (Gen. 1:14) in which the year was divided into fifty-two weeks exactly; into, that is to say, four seasons of thirteen weeks'” (Pfeiffer, p. 75; Levy, 1983). Hebrew University Professor S. Talmon’s book, “The World of Qumran from Within,” contains a table outlining the Jubilee solar calendar, which, unlike the lunar calendar of Rabbinic Judaism, is remarkable for its regularity. Professor Talmon shows the first day of the New Year always falls on Wednesday ( the 4th day of the week; there is NO Wednesday in the 1st century). This meant that the Day of Atonement always fell on a Friday ( the 6th day of the week); Sukkot on a Wednesday( the 4th day of the week); Pesach on a Wednesday (the 4th day of the week); and the Feast of Weeks on a Sunday ( the 1st day of the week). Shemaryahu Talmon. The World of Qumran from Within (Jerusalem, 1989).
Found among the other scrolls at Qumran were the Book of Jubilees (Sefer Yobel) and the Book of Enoch; both of which explain the Hebrew version of the solar calendar. Until these scrolls were found at Qumran they had been only extant in the Ethiopic and Greek, since the early 1800’s. The Temple Scroll from Qumran affirms that this was the calendar used by the Community; besides being the calendar used by the Zaddikim (Sadducees). The Encyclopedia Judaica advises that the Falasha Jews use the calendar of the Book of Jubilees, and base their ritual observances on it (Vol. 10, p. 326). Kenneth A. Strand (Strand, pp. 33-45) advances persuasive arguments that “the 364 days fixed solar ‘priestly’ calendar… could well have been adopted by a segment of early (messianic Jews).” Since Shavuot/Pentecost always falls on “Sunday” ( the first day of the week, there is NO Sunday in the 1st century) on this calendar, Strand sees a possible inference in some gentile minds for the observance of “Sunday.”
If we can consider the Book of Jubilees as midrash, as it was undoubtedly intended, we find that the solar calendar consisted of 364 days, divided into four seasons of three months each, thirteen weeks to a season. Each month had thirty days, with one day intercalated for each of the four seasons. There were exactly fifty-two weeks in the year, the first day of the first month always falling on Wednesday (the 4th day of the week). Thus the festivals would always recur on exactly the same day of the week each year.
The year began on the fourth day of the week (Not necessary = Wednesday) because it was explicitly written in the opening chapter of Genesis: “And Elohim said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years…’ And it was so… And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day” (vs. 14-19). A traditional explanation for beginning each year and season on the 4th day of the week is found in the Talmud (“Rosh Hashanah” 11a): according to tradition the world was created in the (first month – Abib), and as the recognized era is reckoned from that event, an attempt was made to calculate the date of the conjunction which began the first month of Abib. The result arrived at was 4th day of the week, 9h, 642p,… i.e. Wednesday, 3h. 35’40” after midnight.
So then, the ancient Hebrews, believing the first day of the first year would have begun on the 4th day of the week – began each calendar year on this day of the week.”
G. Regarding the translation of first day of the month “Rosh Chodesh ” is the New Day and NOT the new Moon…
-
Some evidence as to the importance of this apparent FORGOTTEN day… Rosh Chodesh is the name for the beginning of Every month in the Hebrew calendar. The Hebrew phrase Rosh Chodesh has been incorrectly translated “new moon” to allow the false rabbinic calendar to be accepted by the unknowing. The literal translation is “Head (Rosh) of the Month (Chodesh),” and is used in context as meaning new month. The Dead Sea Scrolls use this same phrase throughout the scrolls that lay out the solar calendar with its feasts. The word CHODESH is used over 256 times in the Old Testament and always refers to a MONTH, solar month, not a moon of any type. Numbers 28:11 And in the beginning of your MONTHS -Chodesh you shall offer a burnt offering to Eloah: two young bulls, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot, Numbers 28:12 and three tenth parts of flour for a food offering, mixed with oil, for one bull, and two-tenth parts of flour for a food offering, mixed with oil, for one ram; Numbers 28:13 and a separate tenth part of flour mixed with oil for a food offering to one lamb, for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, a fire offering to Eloah. Numbers 28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine to a bull, and the third of a hin to a ram, and a fourth a hin to a lamb. This is the burnt offering of Every MONTH-Chodesh throughout the MONTHS-Chodesh of the year. Numbers 28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering to Jahwah shall be prepared, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering. Numbers 29:6 besides the burnt offering of the MONTH-Chodesh, and its food offering, and the daily burnt offering, and its food offering, and their drink offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet savor, a fire offering to Eloah. 1Ch 23:31 And they were to offer all burnt sacrifices to Eloah in the Shabbat, in the Chodesh, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before Eloah, 1 Samuel 20:5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the Chodesh, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go so that I may hide myself in the field until the third day at Evening. 1Samuel 20:27 And it happened on the next day, the second day of the Chodesh, David’s place was empty. And Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why does the son of Jesse not come to the meal, neither yesterday nor today? 1Samuel 20:34 and Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the Chodesh. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to shame.

Given the very first commandment to the Hebrew nation was one pertaining to the Rosh Chodesh should be an indication of its supreme importance. If this ordinance was of no importance there would have been no reason for its banning during the period of the Syrian-Greek persecution. As it was, the Rosh Chodesh was one of only three commandments whose observance was prohibited. The other two forbidden commandments were the Shabbat and circumcision, proof enough that the observance of the Rosh Chodesh had great significance. Observing the Rosh Chodesh is so important that Hosea is told by Elah that He will take away HIS Rosh Chodesh as one of the penalties for not obeying HIS WORD, WORSHIPING IDOLS and RELYING ON THE BEAST SYSTEM. Hosea 2:1 Speak to your brethren, Ammi (H5971 My People), and to your sister, Ruhamah (H7355 Shown Mercy upon)! Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother! Plead! For she is not my wife, and I am not her husband… After much warning and pleading Elah has divorced His people due to their idolatry. …And I will lift away her harlotry from in front of me, and her adultery from between her breasts; Hosea 2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. Hosea 2:4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. Hosea 2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. Hosea 2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. Hosea 2:8 For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. Hosea 2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away my grain in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
Eloah removes His blessings and coverings, allowing His people to uncovered and unprotected. Hosea 2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her joy to cease, her feast days, her ROSH CHODESH, and her SHABBAT, and ALL HER APPOINTED FEASTS. Hosea 2:12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, They are my rewards that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. Hosea 2:13 And I will visit on her the days of the Baals, in which she burned incense to them, and she adorned herself with her nose-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers and forgot Me, says Elah. Rosh Chodesh is neither a weekly Shabbat, a 6 day work day, nor is it an annual Feast Day with the exception of Yom Teruah. It is a day unto itself, which serves as a marker between the ending month and the new month. 2 Kings 4:17 And the woman conceived and bore a son at that time that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life. 2 Kings 4:18 And the boy grew, and the day came that he went out to his father to the reapers. 2 Kings 4:19 And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to a lad, carry him to his mother. 2 Kings 4:20 And he carried him and brought him to his mother. And he sat on her knees until noon and died. 2 Kings 4:21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of Eloah, and shut the door on him and went out. 2 Kings 4:22 And she called to her husband and said, Please send me one of the young men and one of the asses so that I may run to the man of Eloah and come again. 2 Kings 4:23 And he said, Why will you go to him today? It is neither Rosh Chodesh nor Shabbat. And she said, It is well. We see evidence here that both the Rosh Chodesh and Shabbat are referenced equally significant, but NOT THE SAME. Her husband said why will you go to him today? Why would he ask? Because it was a work day as they had been out in the field reaping- the people would have ceased from their normal labors to assemble in the synagogues to hear the Torah read on the Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh days.
Ezekiel 46:1 Thus saith Eloah: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Shabbat day it shall be opened, and in the day of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be opened. Ezekiel 46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate; then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the Evening. Ezekiel 46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Eloah in the Shabbats and in the Rosh Chodesh. Ezekiel 46:4 And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto Eloah shall be in the Shabbat day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish; Ezekiel 46:5 and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal-offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. Ezekiel 46:6 And in the day of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be a young bullock without blemish; and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish; Ezekiel 46:7 and he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as his means suffice, and a hin of oil to an ephah. Ezekiel 46:8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof. Ezekiel 46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before Elah in the appointed seasons- Mo’edim, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate; he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him. Ezekiel instructs us as to the sacrifices Eloah expected at the different Mo’edim. We can clearly see that the Rosh Chodesh has an addition of the young bullock. This marks this day as a set-aside day which is the leader for the following thirty days and Shabbat cycle.

Pingback: NAZARENE YISRAELITE SHABBAT SERVICE | MAN-CHILD of Book of Revelation 12:5
Regarding many have been saying that “the weekly Sabbath doesn’t change; it’s always on Gregorian weekly Saturday.” This is the difficulty – that the biblical Sabbath does not line up neatly with the Gregorian (Roman) Saturday – we find that HillelII changed the Rabbinic calendar in the early 300 CE it is not recorded what he did because his changes were kept secret and no one else worked with him on this task – but that he changed the calendar is acknowledged by Judaism and He did fix it to make the Judaism calendar work in the roman exile – but I am now seeing is that he single handily must have been the one to change the Sabbath in the Rabbinic calendar to re-align with the Roman Saturday to
1) reduce persecution of the rabbinic Jews in the roman empire and
2) because of it assisting rabbinic Jewish to participate in the economy of the roman empire.
Soon thereafter we see Emperor Constantine (365 CE) changing the Christian “Sabbath” to occur on the Roman Sunday.
We find that YHVH declared to Moses that he would “hide his face” from Israel when it would be in the exile – by this I understand he would hide His festivals and calendar because Israel had corrupted them. Moses and the prophets confirmed this because they foretold that when these matters are brought to the last generation of redeemed Israel – the causes of the Baruch/ ble_sings and the curse (and to keep the Torah Sabbath and true appointed times is truly a Berakah /ble_sings – but when we cannot see them because we are in exile; it is a curse), then the remnant would mourn for YHVH to bring us home to be able to keep his festivals – and Zephaniah prophesied that it is those who mourn for YHVH’s worship times that YHVH will bring back to His covenant land in the last days
(see Zeph 3: 18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.)
So when we find the Sabbath does not fit our ‘Egypt” calendar of the Saturday then we have a difficulty because we have to work on His days – so we will cry out for YHVH to send His Redeemer to set us free from Egypt and bring us home once again – it becomes a heart cry of true repentance for those who are truly seeking His face and His prophetic word and the end of His judgements of Redeemed Israel. SO I am convinced that He (YHVH) has hidden his calendar and is now revealing this so that we can see that we are in “the pig sty” – in Egypt/ in Babylon and only He can break us out of that Bozrah prison house and bring us home – so the revealing of the biblical Sabbath not fitting the Gregorian week as we have been told by religion for nearly 2000 years is in fact proving YHVH’s prophetic declarations to the last generation. HalleluYah!
In response to someone who said that:”What the Jews and Catholics did doesn’t change the linguistic evidence that Saturday is the seventh-day sabbath of old. However, if you want to be honest, there is really no way to ascertain when it is…” …………………………………………………………………….. Please take note that the characteristics of “The Zadokite Essene calendar (Jaubert 1965:27; Pfeiffer 1969:64-65; Vanderkam 1998:55; Finegan 1998:44) and please pay attention to these specification: The Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles, and Feast of the Great Day (often seen as the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles), always began on the 4th day of the week ( There is NO Wednesday yet in the 1st century),The feast of Passover actually start on the 3rd day (Tuesday) evening, as the Jews began days at evening not midnight (Jaubert 1965:10; Simon 1967:73). Trumpets, Tabernacles, and the Great Day always occurred in the seventh month as set forth in the Law of Moses (Leviticus 23:24-44).As Nisan 15, the annual Sabbath, or Passover Sabbath, marking the start of the seven-day Feast of Unleavened bread began at sunset the fourth day night, the Essene observance of the Passover Seder was always on the third day evening of the week (Finegan 1998:43, 48).) The weekly Sabbath is not equal to the Roman Saturday even though it has been seen as the Sabbath for nearly 2 thousand years! In fact, according to the “FINDINGS At Qumran in 1947″ article mentioned above, ” Every year, Just after the vernal equinox, once we identify the first day of the year is the 4th day of the week…certainly we will know that 3 days later is the 7th Shabbat Day…In the Essenes day, there is NO “Wednesday”…………………………….. beginning the 1st day of the year on the 4th day of the week just after the vernal equinox, the PassOver Feast days fall exactly on the same 4th day of the week, the 14th day in the same month, every year THERE ARE ON THE SAME DAY OF THE WEEK EVERY YEAR, Hence how can we not knowing or not able to identifying the weekly SHABBAT?
in Enoch 72, Enoch discusses two phenomena, the first one is at 72:6 this is the Equinox, and at 72:32 it is describing the Equilux.
This guy explans it. https://darkskydiary.wordpress.com/tag/equilux/
Someone asked me what is the difference of the calendar we observe here and sister Kimberly’s submitted Calendar…Answer is: we employ the same principle and do the exact same counting fro the YEAR and for the Week…except she is using March 17/18 as Equinox but we use Jerusalem Spring Equinox March 21 evening as Day 1 of the year…hence..that 4 days difference make A BIG difference in observing the Shabbat day as well as the feast day!!
The principal guide for both of our calendar and sister Kimberly’s calendar are: ” It is based on 364 days per year. The year is divided into four periods (to correspond to the four seasons of the year), of 13 weeks or 91 days in each period. There are 12 months in each year or a total of 52 weeks.By using this exact measure and beginning the year on the 4th day of the week just after the vernal equinox, the Set Apart days fall exactly on the same day, in the same month, every year. This calendar warrants extensive study, as there are now numerous proofs it was the calendar used by Abraham, King Solomon, King David, and High Priest Zadok in the First Qodesh Mikdash.A different calendar was used in the Second Commonwealth, but that Mikdash had no Presence, no Ark of the Covenant, and no means for its apostate priesthood to communicate directly with יהוה. In fact, it is recorded that 300 high priests during the second Mikdash period, died when they went into the Most Kodesh Place on Yom Kippur. Something, perhaps many things, were wrong with the Second Mikdash Cult. A team of scholars was appointed to study the scrolls in 1952. They became an elite and secretive clique. In 1991 this monopoly was effectively broken when the Huntington Library in California announced it would allow public access to its collection of Dead Sea Scrolls photographs.This was soon followed by the publication of a Facsimile Edition by the Biblical Archaeology Society in Washington, D.C. Until this time scholars previously controlling access to the Scrolls had been publicly contending that there was nothing interesting in the remaining unpublished Scrolls and nothing throwing further light on Judaism and Christianity’s rise in Palestine. (The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered, Professor Robert Eisenman & Michael Wise).for clarity, please go to this page: http://man-child.com/?p=1794 :The Zadokite Essene calendar, the calendar attested in I Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, consisted of a solar calendar of 364 days divided into seven-day weeks, twelve months of thirty days each except for one extra day in the last month of each quarter (Jaubert 1965:27; Pfeiffer 1969:64-65; Vanderkam 1998:55; Finegan 1998:44).The Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles, and Feast of the Great Day (often seen as the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles), always began on the 4th day of the week ( There is NO Wednesday yet in the 1st century), ”
If you want to know more about the differences between using March 17 ( Spring Equilux) and March 21 (Spring Equinox) , this link below might give you some idea!
We observe according to “All the data we receive says that Jerusalem equinox is the 21st. of that year”…regardless of where we are! Once we fix on that, there are only 24 hours differences throughout the whole world time zone…it means, we all start the year with the same day/date….accordingly!!
Jerusalem equinox for 2015 is March 21st is the guide as all our scriptures are center on Jerusalem the place of YAH’s Choice However, quote: * interestingly, the equilux does not occur on the same same day for everyone, it depends on your latitude. The closer you are to the equator the earlier the date of your equilux. For example the equilux in most US cities occurred yesterday, 16 March, and in cities near the equator there is never a day with exactly twelve hours between sunrise and sunset!” The link for general understanding between the 2 dates: March 17 or March 21 is
https://darkskydiary.wordpress.com/tag/equilux/
In short, The March 17 Equilux is something quite different from March 21 Equinox and is not accurately measurable because it is dependent on the latitude position. They use this because of their interpretation of Enoch – but as I discussed in my article this is inaccurate because Enoch was a pre-flood calendar and the equator at the time of pre-flood was in proximity of the covenant land whereas to day it is moved because the earth has been moved some 23 degrees on its axis.You need to understand the physics of the difference between the equinox and the equilux.The website you refer to simply reads that in Enoch he said the equal day equal night was occurring at beginning of the year when the sun completed its circuit (the equinox). The astronomical reality is that the only place where the equinox and the equilux coincide is when one is at the equator – this is not the case for the covenant land today proving that the earth has been tilted on its axis because of the flood because at Jerusalem today the equilux occurs some 4 days earlier than the equinox. I have discussed this in my last article. However the people who simply interpret the Enoch calendar in that way will not acknowledge that the Enoch calendar is a preflood calendar where the earth was not in the same orbit (they argue that there is only 364 days (when in creation reality there is 365.25 days) in the year today – by theological arguing that the Day of Atonement is not a day to be included in the calendar – it is nonsensical – but they have to do something theological like that because the tilt of the earth was not in the same position pre-flood as it is today and the earth’s orbit around the sun takes 365.25 days today (as opposed to 364 days pre-flood).
What Calendar Did Yahushua Keep – Whose Report Will We Believe?
http://man-child.com/?p=1330
This paper demonstrates how astronomical, historical and biblical evidence directly
points to Yahushua’s Passover meal as described in Mark 14:12-26 as being:
1) a most significant lawful Passover and not a “last supper”,
2) that Yahushua’s very timing of His Passover meal speaks loudly
concerning the biblical calendar He is observing,
3) that 30 CE is the only year where the astronomical events are closely
associated to permit precisely 1 day difference between Yahushua’s Passover
and the Temple’s calendar for the Passover,
4) that 30 CE is the only year where the timing of the proper astronomical
events of the year permit the fulfillment of Yahushua’s sign of three days and
three nights, and
5) the timing of the astronomical events occurring in that year, together with
the biblical account of Yahushua’s behaviour reveal that the first sliver new moon
was not observed by the Temple calendar in the year of His suffering.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The issue of the biblical calendar is not simply a central issue of passion to messianic but,
at its highest level it is at the heart of all institutionalized religions of the so-called “Abrahamic faiths”,
and as such the most significant theological issue second only to the deity of Yahushua Messiah. ….More from the above link!
Dear YahnEl
It has been brought to my attention that my spreadsheet chart of the 2015 Calendar may be confusing to some. Please note that the weekly sabbath indeed occurs on the 7th day of the week and not on the 4th day of the week as some might interpret the chart. It is the equinox that occurs on the 4th day of the biblical week, whilst the weekly sabbath occurs on the 7th day.
To clarify this I have now inserted an additional column on the left hand side of the chart to indicate the actual days of the biblical week and I have also included a clearer commentary on this point in the pdf article. Please download the updated article from the webpage post here: 2015 Biblical Solar Calendar
or directly from here: http://man-child.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015-Yahushua-Melchizedek-Solar-Calendar.pdf
The additional clarifying commentary I have included in the pdf article is as follows:
The first column in the chart (on the left hand side) shows the biblical days of the week in relation to the weekly Sabbath 7 day count, and you will see that the blue colour highlights the weekly Sabbath on each 7th day of the week.
Where day 4 comes in is that in Gen 1:14-19 we are told the luminaries were created on the 4th day of the biblical week, thus (in accord with the Zadok testimony of the calendar) when the vernal equinox (northern hemisphere) is observed, although it is the 1st day of the new biblical year, in terms of the biblical week and the weekly Sabbath it is always counted as day 4 of the biblical week (according to the precept of Genesis 1:14-19). Thus one has but to count another 3 days to find the biblical weekly Sabbath. In other words the 1st day of the biblical year is always to be seen as the 4th day of the biblical week. This is the revelation from the Zadok testimony.
In other words, what the Zadok priesthood teach us is that the solar year began on the day on which the heavenly luminaries were created, and the weekly Sabbaths always occur on fixed dates and always on the same day of the biblical week which can be found by counting another 3 days from the observed occurrence of the Equinox (Day 4 of the week. )
According to Prof Elior, (P 45 “The Three Temples”)
“the beautiful, harmonic, mathematical calculation underlying the solar year, which according to (Zadok) priestly tradition derived from divine origin , are enunciated in detail in 1 Enoch 72:32,74: 10-12; 75:2, 82: 6; 2 Enoch 13-17, 41-8; Jubilees 6:23-28; (in the Dead Sea Scrolls documents) 4QMMT A II-III; Psalms Scroll 11 QPs XXVII, 2-11, mention of these principles may also be found in the Temple Scroll, The Damascus Document, The Scroll of Priestly Courses, and The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice”
The amazing thing is that when these two principles 1) The identification of the day of the beginning of the new biblical year and 2) the identification of the weekly biblical Sabbath are put together as in the chart I have produced, one can quickly see how all the festivals work out very precisely with the biblical festivals even testifying every year to Yahushua’s “sign of Jonah” and in precisely the same arrangement every single year.
What may also be seen is how the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles falls out on a weekly Sabbath which to my understanding is a picture of the conclusion of the final 7th millennial age of man with the next day arising on a new millennial week – or as it has been described as the beginning of the 8th day and the mark of YHVH’s new creation of heaven and earth, with the new Jerusalem from above.

Dear YahnEl,
Looking at your questions, I overlooked to answer the latter part – – today the equilux (equal day equal night) does not occur on the date of the equinox (as today observe by true sun observation) in Jerusalem (the place where YHVH has chosen to put His Name) as it did when observed by Enoch, but only does so if you are living in the region of the equator. Jerusalem is not on the equator as it may well have been in the time of the garden of Eden and Enoch …This is because today the equator has moved – the earth has moved on its axis -the proof this is that in the days before the flood the area of the middle east had the equator running though its proximity – as the garden of Eden was not as desert as it is today – and so it will be until the earth is once more moved on its axis, has its tilt changed and then the prophets declare the desert will blossom as it once did before – a mark of the millennial occurs up to 4 days prior to the equinox (depending on one’s latitude) in the northern hemisphere and up to 4 days after the equinox in the southern hemisphere (depending latitude – such as New Zealand which is far from the equator and some 3-4 days later only experiences the equilux after the equinox.
So the equilux is not only difficult to measure, (and cannot be easily measured by sundial – no straight line for that measurement given the position of the equator and one’s latitude) but also varies across the world by a total of a range of 8 days whereas the equinox is constant – yet another astronomical proof that the interpretations of the Enochian calendar were appropriate for a time before the flood (then the equinox and the equilux coincided as Enoch stated) and may well occur again put in the millennial reign, but require 1) the earth to be tilted on its axis by some 20 degrees, and 2) the orbit of the earth needs to be shortened to have 364 days in each solar year.
Again this requires a study of astronomical realities and not just theological constructions to make interpretations of Enoch work out in a calendar today.
But each to their own understanding as the scripture describes the situation that exists today. And the majority are running after supposed Enochian calendars, which Enoch never developed. That is if you follow the many interpretations of “Enochian” calendar interpretations out there – but…
That is if you follow the many interpretations of “Enochian” calendar interpretations out there – but…
1. Enoch never developed a calendar – he only described the astronomical events in his day – and now the solar year is not 364 days but 365.25 – unfortunately to the many who follow supposed “Enoch” calendars creation’s testimony is that the earth’s orbit has changed post flood – there are now 365.25 days in a solar year meaning the earth’s orbit is slightly longer than it was in the days of Enoch.
2. Enoch never developed a calendar – the Enoch calendars are all interpretations of religious men who have no biblical authority (according to the law of Moses) to make up any calendars
3.Again according to the Law of Moses, the law gives no authority to any interpreted “Enochian” calendar we see being published on internet sites these days.
The law of Moses prescribe the declaration of biblically lawful calendars to the authentic (biblically prescribed) priesthood Aaron and his sons.
4. The Zadok priesthood was lawfully prescribed (being of the line of Aaron) by King David and also by covenant of YHVH in the law of Moses to Phineas – thus the calendar proclaimed by the Zadok priesthood is the only lawful biblical calendar today , for it is directly under the law of Moses.
5. The Zadok priesthood (unlike Enoch) actually did leave us a calendar prescription in a time capsule (Qumran scrolls) for the last generation who will need it.
6. The Zadok calendar gives 2 essential prescriptions for identifying the biblical calendar which you have mention in your email below (after what is written in my article)
7. The calendar I have graphed is not my own design but based on the authoritative (lawful according to Moses) Zadok precepts.
8. The whole matter is essentially an issue of who has the biblical authority to declare the biblical calendar – Enoch does not have this authority (according to the law of Moses) – neither do the Rabbis nor the Christian church, …nor Messianic who like to create their own calendar after how they subjectively interpret Enoch (the are many variations)
9. The Zadok priesthood submitted their authority to the Apostles of the Nazarene redeemed community (i.e. recognizing and sub,submitting to the authority of Yahushua as Melchizedek) as recorded in Acts 6:7
10. The example of Yahushua – according to the testimony of the Apostles is the final authority on the calendar – he obsecrated the Zadok solar calendar, by redefined the incidence of when to find the Feast of First Fruits (which the Zadok’s held a week alter on their calendar) as being in accord with the sign of Jonah – 3 days and 3 night s period after the crucifixion) – with this lawful demonstration by Yahushua Melchizedek and the 2 foundation precepts of the Zadok’s on when to find day one of the new year and the wacky Sabbath – together with identifying correctly the Feat of First Fruits and that from Yahushua’s testimony we see the “day after the Sabbath” needing to identify the Feast of First fruits and day 1 of the count to the Feast of Weeks is in fact a weekly Sabbath and not a festival Sabbath.
…Everyone has to study and sort this one out for themselves. I have done my research work over more than 3 years now on this, including observation of the actual astronomical events – and just even from astronomical observation I cannot follow the prescriptions of the so-called “Enochian calendars since it does not reflect what is happening in the sun and the stars every year – which is the lawful signs by which we are to establish the calendar (Gen 1: 14-16).
The issue for me is biblical authority and who is Lawfully permitted to define the calendar – Form mosses only two authorities are given 1) the lawful priesthood – and the Zadok’s have given us a time capsule of an actual calendar definition – Enoch has not. and 2) Yahushua Melchizedek, by whose testimony we understand His days of the authentic calendar.
Time will tell who is right and who is wrong since the important test is whether the last generation will be ready on the right day of the feast of Weeks for the outpouring of YHVH’s Spirit in the coming days and the Day of Atonement (coming under the mark of YHVH’s protection required for the remnant elect in the last days.) It is a very very impotent matter and time is now running out, but given the waking up of some across the globe and what is being shared there will be none who will be able to say that they never heard – the Qumran scrolls (Zadok testimony of the calendar has been fully revealed to all who would hear – and as I said an Enochian calendar as interpreted by many today was not in the Qumran library of documents)
From the criteria I have laid out above you need to do your own study of the matter and prayerfully decide…since which calendar we keep is the matter of our own choice – but hopeful grounded in revealed biblical truth…for this matter is really a deeply hidden matter, which YHVH ha done by design and purpose…
As for me I follow the lawful Zadok testimony, under the final authority of Yahushua Melchizedek as presented by the authoritative Apostolic testimony and not the creation of calendar(s) by men who have no biblical authority to do this – neither the Rabbis, the Christians, nor the many variations of solar – luni-solar, and Enochian” calendars of the many interpretations found in the so-called “messianic/Hebrew roots movement.
Please remember the essential factor in this is who has the biblical authority to declare /witness to the biblical calendar of YHVH.
[Rob (In That Day)]
Sure. We are on the Essene / Zadokite Calendar, the same as Yahshua observed. There were three or four different calendars used in the first century by Jews. Today, the Jewish calendar is none of these. The Zadokite Calendar is that of the Davidic Dynasty. The other sects in the first century adopted moon calendars based on Greek or Farsi pagan calendars. Those who we now call Essenes or Nazoreans were countercultural in this respect because, as Messianics looking for the return of the Davidic Kingdom (lost by the sway of Hellenistic Maccabees), and heeding the prophecies of Ezekiel (44), they remained on the High Priestly calendar abandoned sometime around between 150 – 175 BC. If Yahshua was a scion of David, and he apparently was through his ancestor King Yotham (who had both Davidic and priestly blood), and if we believe he is returning to restore that Kingdom, would he and his movement accept the moon calendars of his religious enemies, the Sadducees and Pharisees? No way. I expect to get flack from this entry, noting that many do not use common sense in regard to the calendar, but am ready to defend what I’m saying here, as some of you know quite well.
I had been observing the first day of the month, thus far according to the sighted moon, until this past one that I missed (which I find noteworthy, as it was only last Saturday, which I used to call Shabbat, but am calling Saturday now as not sure what else to call it… 7th day doesn’t seem right.
Anyway, I found your website and pulled out my Gregorian calendar to write in the correct days, starting with the month of Passover. However, when I did this, the days do not match your days. I have 30 days in each of the months.
The 125 day of solar month 2 is April 20, solar month 3 is May 20, solar month 4 is June 19, solar month 5 is July 19, solar month 6 is August 18, and solar month 7 is September 17.
I’m confused. Have I missed something? Or did you make an error?
Another question I have is… I believe that the day begins in the evening, based on the creation account where it names the evening before the morning. I do not have access to all of the research materials at this moment, but would like to come into alignment with Yehovah’s calendar as quickly as possible, which is why I am asking you. When you give the Gregorian calendar date, are you giving the date that begins on the evening of that day, or the day itself? Or do you believe that when using a solar calendar, the day begins at a different time, like sunrise instead of sunset?
I do want to say that in 87, when Yehovah invited me into a relationship with Himself, he impressed upon me to read through Scripture cover-to-cover, which has been my annual practice. There were also several other things that He impressed upon my spirit. One was an insight that the lesser is always a reflection of the greater. Upon hearing about the hebrew Roots movement and finally finding a group of people who were trying to live according to what Scripture teaches, I remember wondering why it was a lunar calendar, since the moon is the reflection. It seemd odd to me that we did not go by a solar calendar. So this really resonates with my spirit. (And today I had it in my heart to search out what I could on this matter, and have had a tremendous level of joy, FAR more than my normal state. I cannot help but feel that what I am sensing is my heavenly Father’s joy over me (one more person ) coming into alignment with His time.
Thank you so much for your years of research into this. And thank you also for your response to my questions.
Hi brother, give me sometime to come back to your questions. However,
we follow the Enoch teaching that we calculate the day starts from Sunset to Sunset!!

Yahushua Melchizedek Calendar
Exploring The Authority Of Yahushua Messiah’s Biblical Calendar, In His High Priesthood Order Of Melchizedek (And Its Implications For Identifying The Appointed Times) by Rob@inthatday.net
YahushuaMelchizedekCalendar
This paper presents a synopsis of principles from my research and study over many years concerning the identification of the true biblical calendar and which I trust will help others in their studies and understanding of this subject and subsequently to identify the annual biblical calendar in the emunah firm belief of Yahushua Messiah’s demonstration.
The major statement of this paper is that, given the full biblical and historical evidence now available to us it is Yahushua Messiah ALONE who only has the biblical authority over the biblical worship calendar today, through His post-resurrection office as High Priest of the Melchizdek order. No-one else has any biblical authority to set or proclaim the biblical calendar of YHVH, regardless of what religious orthodoxies they are. His behavioural example is thus highly significant.
The implications of understanding exactly who carries the true Divine authority over the biblical calendar today (as outlined by Moses in Leviticus 23) are both radical and profound to any who are sincerely concerned and called to prepare for the redemption and return of YHVH’s trustworthy remnant elect in the last days.
Take care in the firm belief of Yahushua Messiah

Question: Shalom, Achi Rob in our MessiYAH,
Whether this is correct: March 20 is considered as the first day of the new year, the 4th day of the week in 2016
Or shall we start the 20 after sunset/21st as the 1st day of the year, the 4th day of the week in this 2016 calendar?
Regards,
YahnEl
Answer:
HI YahnEl
the equinox (mean mathematical calculation as printed on common calendars across the world is estimated for Jerusalem longitude at occurring on 20th March at 6.30 am (see: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?n=110 ).
Note that the mathematical estimate is not o be confused with the actual true sun observance which is confirmed by observation as it would occur on a sundial at the proper longitude.
As the mathematical estimate is calculated for occurring in 2016 early in the morning (6.30 am) then we know that the actual real sun observation on a sundial would also be occurring on that day (march 20th). If the mathematical estimate for Jerusalem was estimated at 9.00pm in the evebing of the 20th for example then we would know that the day of the true sun observance of the euinox ocurring would necessarily be falling out on the next day.
However this year it is quite simply for us to know – the actual true sun observation of the equinox this year will occur on 20th March…
So the 20th March is day 1 of the biblical year. To then identify the weekly Sabbath (using Qumran Zadok formula), we need to then identify the 4th day from the day of the occurrence of the true sun observed equinox – that is Wednesday 23rd March.
The biblical day begins at sunrise as opposed to the Rabbinic calendar theology of the day starting at the evening.
That is my understanding form my research.
regards
Rob
