This section is how I, Rav Sha’ul, calculate Yahuah’s
Calendar. I recognize there are many ways and methods by which the
Calendar is reckoned in these last days. I realize that Creation is out of sync
with Yahuah’s Calendar. So I offer this section with the following disclaimer.
The
purpose of this book is not “how to calculate the beginning of the year”, but
rather “what do these festivals mean, how should we celebrate them, and in what
order”. I do not want the focus of this book to be the calendar! That is not
why I wrote this book.
I
understand the reasoning behind using the moon to calculate months, for using
the moon to calculate Sabbaths (Lunar Sabbath), for using a barely plant in
Jerusalem to determine the beginning of months, for using the Equinox and the
first new moon to set the beginning of the year, and so forth and so on. The
fact is, Creation is out of sync and there is limited data passed on to us
concerning these things. We simply do not know for sure how our ancestors
determined the beginning point of the year. The calendar has been altered many
times over the many thousands of years. For that reason, this is how “I” have
come to reckon Yahuah’s Annual Calendar. I do not want the vital message this
book contains (about “how” we are to keep The Spring Feasts) to be overshadowed
by the inevitable debates that erupt over the different calendars. I am not
saying “My way” is the only legitimate scriptural solution. But it is the way I
do it, and since I am the author of this book, I am including this section in
this book.
I have
come to realize based on the limited data we have been given, that “Appointed
Times” is speaking more about the “order, duration, and distance” between His
Holy Days. I believe the order is what is implied by “Appointed Times”
not the actual calendar dates. As long as we maintain the proper order and
duration between Feasts (regardless of when we begin the annual count), and
we understand “how” to keep them, and “what” they are designed to teach us, then
we are keeping them in Spirit and in Truth. As you read through the rest of
this section, keep an open mind and realize I am not saying this is the Gospel
Truth. I am saying this, with what very limited data available to me, is
what I find is true (with My reasoning and scriptural support). Very few things
remain outstanding in My mind concerning Spiritual Things, but how to reckon
the year and seasons and reconcile fallen creation with the Calendar of Yahuah
laid out in Enoch and Jubilees is one of them. I find “truth” in many of
the calendar systems, so a decision had to be made. So I offer this section in
humility, and reserve the right to continue to seek and revise My understanding
over time.
Titus 3
9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels
about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
2 Timothy 2
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing
that they produce quarrels.
I came
to a decision place in My walk with My Father. I admit that nature (Creation)
is out of sync with His Calendar, and that it will be brought back into sync
before the Kingdom Reign. It will be His Calendar laid out in the Book of Enoch
and Jubilees that will govern The Kingdom. For that reason, I have
chosen to discipline Myself to go by His Calendar (and make one adjustment
per year to reconcile nature and His Calendar) and have “eyes to see
Spiritual Truth” not physical eyes to see what nature displays in its fallen
state. I do find any “Spiritual Truths” displayed in going by manmade calendars
as to be in sync with nature.
In
short, I begin the New Year with the Spring Equilux, set the Sabbaths from that
point on a continual unbroken 7-day count. I do not go by the Equinox and
Solstices to set the seasons, but by a 13-week cycle between them. I do not set
the Sabbath on a certain “day of the week” but rather on a fix date on the
calendar that never changes. At the end of the year, I employ the Joshua’s Long
Day formula to bring nature and Yahuah’s calendar back into line so that the
year always ends on The Sabbath Day. The following section is My scriptural
support and reasoning.
End of Disclaimer
As we have discussed so far in this book, The Heavenly
Scroll is a Divine Calendar. The Calendar of Yahuah is determined solely by the
Sun and the Stars. It is a solar calendar, where the Moon plays no role at all
(as the Moon is not an “illusionary”). The Moon is a dead satellite that
does not put out light.
Many, today, use a plant on the ground in Jerusalem (Barely)
to determine the beginning of the new year, and to calculate Yahuah’s Calendar.
They call this “The Creator’s Calendar”. It is true, in an agricultural society
many thousands of years ago, the calendar came to be associated with crops. Coming
out of Babylon, all the knowledge concerning The Heavenly Clock was lost and
they "interpreted" what was celestial signs literally as a plant. They
began looking for a physical "plant" on Earth, instead of a sign in
the sky (as Yahuah had instructed). The years are determined by the stars and the
Spring Equilux (not Equinox) as the Sign of the Sabbath draws near. Our
ancestors had no knowledge of an “Equator” and therefore no knowledge of an
Equinox. What they did know, and could determine, is the day of equal light and
darkness called the Equilux. The Temple of Solomon was designed per Yahuah’s
instruction to clearly proclaim that day.
The “barely ripening” is a celestial sign that the Spring
Equilux is approaching. In The Heavenly Scroll, Yahuah authored a sign of the
coming Spring Equilux. It is in the constellation Virgo who holds a stalk of Wheat
(or Barely) in her left hand. As the star Spics (means grain) would be
rising from the horizon each year, the “barely” would be ripening in The
Heavenly Scroll, as the Spring Equilux would approach. This would enable our
ancestors to know of the coming New Year, and when to begin observations
of their sun dials to look for the day with 12 hours of sunlight. Many sun
dials have been discovered to be used by the ancient Hebrews.
When the star Spica reached the stalk of wheat in the hands
of Virgo, the “barely had ripened” and the New Year was imminent. Looking
to a plant on Earth to set the “year” is in violation of Yahuah’s Will, that
the sun and stars are signs that determine the Holy Days, days, and years!
Genesis 1:14
And Yahuah said, "Let there be lights
in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve
as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years
The Spring
Festivals on the Calendar
So any calendar system that is based on the moon, or barely
plants ripening in Jerusalem, is not the Calendar of Yahuah! The Calendar of
Yahuah is written in The Heavenly Scroll in great detail. Each 364 day calendar
year ends on March 16th, a Sabbath, and the new year begins
on March 17th with the New Month Festival and blowing of the shofar.
The Sabbath Day count begins on March 17th, and we go forward 6 days
then The Sabbath in an unbroken cycle until the next New Month Celebration the
next Spring Tekufah. The Spring Feasts are then easily determined simply by
counting the number of days beginning with March 17th as day 1.
·
March 30th – The sunset of the 29th/30th
is The Chagigah/Remembrance Meal (the first meal of Passover) falls 14 days after
March 17th (the Equilux) on March 30th every year which
is a weekly Sabbath.
·
March 30th – all day is Passover
·
March 31st – Sunset of the 30th
as the 31st begins, is The First Day of the Feast of Unleavened
Bread (when the Passover Lamb is eaten). This is a High Sabbath.
·
April 6th - The 7-day Feast of
Unleavened Bread ends on April 6th which is a High Sabbath each
year.
·
April 7th – Wave Sheaf Offering and
beginning of 49-day count until Feast of First Fruits.
·
May 25th – Feast of First Fruits
·
May 26th – Shav’uot
Then we progress through all 4 Tekufahs in order which have
exactly 13 weeks between them. At the end of each Tekufah there is a unique day
added to celebrate the new season. This is the Festival of New Month. Then we
start over with the next year, when the Spring Equilux occurs on March 16th
with the Sabbath Sign of equal light and darkness (Equilux) and we start all
over again. The 4 seasons represented by the 4 cardinal points in the
Enoch Zodiac have exactly 13 weeks between them. There are exactly 364 24/hour
days, 52 weeks/Sabbaths, and 4 seasons. The days are “twilight to twilight” not
the actual moment the sun sets to sun set. Due to the alterations in the calendar, and an obvious
change in the Earth’s orbit (probably due to the flood of Noah, Joshua’s
Long Day, and other events), the sun rises and sets every 365 days instead
of 364.
The Calendar of Yahuah compensates for this by combining the
last two days in the year (March 14/15) into one long day using the
shadow picture of Joshua’s Long Day as the precedence. In this Scriptural
precedence, Yahuah extended the day so that the “battle” that was waging would
not fall on The Sabbath. We use that scriptural precedence (Joshua’s Long Day)
to compensate for the change in the Sun’s annual journey, bringing the actual
creation witness back into agreement with Yahuah’s Calendar. We do this each
year, at the end of the year, so that the year ends on The
Sabbath and the year has exactly 364 days.
The Sabbath Days are set each year with the Equilux beginning
the 7-day continuous count on March 17th. The Sabbath is a set day
in Yahuah’s Calendar, but floats on the pagan calendar each year (not monthly
by the moon). It is not every “Saturday”, it varies as to the “day name” year
by year on the pagan calendar. But is on a set calendar date every year on
Yahuah’s Calendar.
The calendar above never changes, the Sabbaths and Holy
Days are on the same calendar dates every year. Below is the second half of the yearly calendar with the
dates of the Fall Feasts. Note, there is an “atonement day” on the 10th
day of each Tekufah, as Noah illustrated when he offered atonement on the 10th
Day of the Spring Tekufah.
I kept the Friday/Saturday Sabbath for the last 20 years. I
have resisted every attempt at reckoning the Sabbath by the moon (Lunar
Sabbaths), as there is no instruction anywhere to justify it. I had chosen to believe that our current “Saturday” dates
back to Creation, and the 7-day week has remained unbroken for 6,000 years. However,
I could not reconcile the pagan nature of the current 7-day week and the pagan
names associated with each day of the week. I also could not reconcile “how to
re-establish” the Sabbath Day if the cycle had ever been broken.
Upon evalutating the Calendar of Yahuah laid out in the
books of Enoch and Jubilees it becomes clear The Sabbath is set based on The
Great Sign of the Sabbath each year, the Equilux. So, if the 7-day cycle is
broken (say you are left for dead on a deserted Island, wake up and have no
idea what day it is), The Sabbath Day can easily be reclaimed on the next
Spring Equilux. Then proceeds from that day from Jerusalem throughout all the Earth.
The Friday/Saturday Sabbath was given to us by Hellenized Jews as they sought to
conform to a Hellenized (pagan) world around them in captivity.
Therefore, for me and My household… I am no longer
reckoning The Sabbath Day by the pagan days of the week (Friday/Saturday),
which fluctuate on Yahuah’s Calendar. But rather by the beginning of the
months in Spring by the Equilux, resulting in exactly 52 Sabbaths each year
perfectly in sync and set on the same calendar dates (not days of the
week) each and every year. Below is more on this topic:
Excerpt taken from The Enoch Calendars website www.enochcalendars.web.com/
The Enoch Calendar is shown in the 1st Book of Enoch and was
given by the Angel Uriel (YahEl). It is the original Priestly Calendar that was
used in the Torah. It was used by the pre-flood patriarchs and by Noah,
Abraham, and Jacob. It was taught to Moses by the Angel of Yahuah, and it
continued in effect through the 2nd Temple period under Ezra and Nehemiah. It was the official Hebrew calendar until the 2nd Century
BCE, when King Antiochus IV Epiphanes ended the use of the Enoch Calendar and
forced the Hebrew people (sons of Eber/Heber) to observe the Lunar Calendar. The
Book of Jubilees was written during this time, and it preserved the Enoch
Calendar. In the Book of Jubilees, the Hellenistic Jews were warned to guard
themselves against keeping the Athenian Calendar that begins the year on the
first New Moon after the Summer Solstice. They would lose track of their Sabbath
Day, and forget their monthly Festivals on the 1st Day of each Solar Month, and
forget the Annual Feast Days, as they are all on Fixed Days every year,
based on the Spring Equilux that ends the year on The Great Sabbath Sign:
Jubilees 6:34-38
And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the
years, and will forget the Months, and Seasons, and Sabbaths and they will go
wrong as to all the order of the years. For I know and from henceforth will I
declare it unto thee, and it is not of My own devising; for the book (lies)
written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is
ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the
feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance. For there
will be those who will assuredly "MAKE OBSERVATIONS OF THE MOON −how
(it) DISTURBS THE SEASONS and comes in from year to year ten days too soon. For
this reason the years will come upon them when they will Disturb (the order),
and make an Abominable (Day) the Day of Testimony, and an Unclean Day a Feast
Day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the
unclean day with the holy; for THEY WILL GO WRONG AS TO THE MONTHS AND SABBATHS
AND FEASTS AND JUBILEES. For this reason, I command and testify to thee that
thou mayst testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb
(them), so that THEY WILL NOT MAKE THE YEAR THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY−FOUR
DAYS ONLY, and for this reason they will go Wrong as to the Months and Seasons
and Sabbaths and Festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds
of flesh.
The Birthday of the Month Festival (new moon festival) was
observed by most of the Hebrew people because they feared King Antiochus. This
is where we get the tradition of calculating the months by the phases of the
moon, and the Lunar Sabbath tradition. After the death of King Antiochus, in
164 BCE, some of the Hebrew priests tried to restore the Solar Calendar, but
the Greek New Moon influence was all around them. Later, in 359 CE, Hillel II
introduced the fixed calculated New Moon Calendar that is based on the
conjunction of the Earth, moon, and sun, and this Lunar Calendar has been used
by Jews and others to this day, to determine the 1st Day of the Months and the
Annual Feast Days.
The term "New Moon" (yareach chadash יָרֵחַ
חָדָשׁ) is Not Written anywhere in the
Hebrew Scriptures. The Scriptures only use the word "month" (chodesh חֹדֶשׁ)
and it pertains to a Solar Month. The translators mixed up a few of the Hebrew
words due to vowel point errors, like CHODESH חֹדֶשׁ
which means either "month/s" or "new month" and the word
CHADASH חָדָשׁ which means "New."
They also confused the word YERACH יֶרַח which
means "Month," as in a "Complete Month," with the word
YAREACH יָרֵחַ which means "Moon,"
and this is where the translation error of New Moon came into the various books
and Bibles, as it was commonly known that the Hebrew people observed the New
Moon and kept a New Moon Festival every month. However, observing the New
Moon is not commanded in the Torah, nor is the term "New Moon" ever
mentioned in the whole Tanakh. The word moon (yareach) is only mentioned
THREE times in the Torah, of which two times are warnings not to worship or
serve the moon. Later, when the Hebrew people adopted the Julian Calendar in 45
BCE, the 7 Day Week continued as usual and the Names of the Week Days remained
the same, so the Hebrew people felt that the calendar changes would not affect
them. However, the extra Day that was added, for a 365 Day Year, totally disrupted
the weekly Sabbath cycle. So instead of following on the same set-apart calendar
date every year, the Sabbath was changed to an “abominable” day of the
week… Saturn-day!
Jubilees 6:37
For this reason, the years will come upon
them when they will disturb (the order), and make an Abominable (Day) the day
of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the
days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they
will go wrong as to the Months and Sabbaths and Feasts and Jubilees. 38 For
this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst testify to them; for
after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make
the year three hundred and sixty−four days only, and for this reason they
will go wrong as to the New Months and Seasons and Sabbaths and Festivals, and
they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.
The Calendar of Yahuah is proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll
by the 4 living creatures who rest over the 4 cardinal points of the Zodiac. These
living creatures represent the 4 seasons and the Spring and Fall Equinoxes and
Summer and Winter Solstices. We read in the Book of Jubilees, that there are
exactly 13 weeks between these cardinal points. The “Change of Season” occurs
every 13 Weeks (or every 91 Days) or on 4 Days each year. Each month has
30 days, plus an additional day at the end of each quarter, (the 31st day), for
the season change, where "the sun remains at the same latitude as the
30th day.” These 4 days are the solemn feasts of the New Months.
Enoch 82:4-15
Blessed are all the righteous, blessed are
all those who walk in the way of righteousness and sin not as the sinners, in
the reckoning of all their days in which the sun traverses the Heavenly Scroll,
entering into and departing from the portals for THIRTY DAYS with
the heads of thousands of the order of the STARS, TOGETHER WITH THE FOUR
(LIVING BEINGS) WHICH ARE INTERCALATED WHICH DIVIDE THE FOUR PORTIONS OF THE
YEAR, WHICH LEAD THEM AND ENTER WITH THEM FOUR DAYS (the 4 solemn assemblies of the New Month). 5 Owing
to them men shall be at fault and not reckon them in the whole reckoning of the
year: yea, men shall be at fault, and not recognize them accurately. 6 For they
belong to the reckoning of the year and are truly recorded (thereon in The
Heavenly Scroll) for ever, One in the First Portal and One in the Third, and
One in the Fourth and One in the Sixth, AND THE YEAR IS COMPLETED IN THREE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. 7 And the account thereof is
accurate and the recorded reckoning thereof EXACT for the LUMINARIES (not the moon), and for the MONTHS and FESTIVALS, and
YEARS and DAYS, has Uriel shown and revealed to me, to whom Yahuah (creator) of
the whole creation of the world hath subjected the host of heaven (constellations). 8 And he has power over night and
day in The Heavenly Scroll to cause the light to give light to men - sun, moon,
and stars, and all the Powers of the heaven which revolve in their circular
chariots (Zodiac). 9 And these are the orders
of the STARS (constellations), which SET in their
PLACES, and in their SEASONS and 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 (LIVING BEINGS AT THE FOUR
CARDINAL POINTS OF THE ZODIAC) WHO DIVIDE THE FOUR PARTS OF THE YEAR ENTER
FIRST; and after them the TWELVE LEADERS OF THE ORDERS WHO DIVIDE THE
MONTHS (CONSTELLATIONS); and for the
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY (DAYS) THERE ARE HEADS OVER THOUSANDS WHO DIVIDE
THE DAYS; 12 and for the Four Intercalary Days there are the Leaders which
sunder the Four Parts Of The Year. 13 And these Heads Over Thousands are
intercalated between leader and leader, EACH BEHIND A STATION,
but their Leaders make the division. And these are the names of the leaders who
divide the four parts of the year which are ordained: 14 Milki'el, Hel'emmelek,
and Mel'ejal, and Narel. And the names of those who lead them: Adnar'el, and
Ijasusa'el, and 'Elome'el- these Three Follow the Leaders of the orders,
and there is One that Follows the Three Leaders of the orders which Follow
Those Leaders of Stations that Divide the Four Parts of the Year. 15 In
the beginning of the year Melkejal rises first and rules, who is named Tam'aini
and SUN, and all the days of his dominion whilst he bears rule are NINETY-ONE
DAYS (THE DAYS OF EACH SEASON ARE 91).
Jubilees 6:29-31
And they placed them on the heavenly tablets
(The Heavenly Scroll), 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 third to the fourth. 30
And all the days of the commandment will be Two and Fifty Weeks of Days (52
weeks), and (these will make) the Entire Year Complete. Thus it is engraven
and ordained on the heavenly tablets (The Heavenly
Scroll). 31 And there is no neglecting (this commandment) for a single
year or from year to year.
The Enoch Calendar was used by David and he understood that each month had
30 days, plus one day at the end of each quarter for the change in season. This
is how David knew when the new month began, as it was a Holy Festival Day
celebrated by all the Hebrew people with the blowing of the shofar:
1 Samuel 20:5
David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is
the new month, and I should not fail to sit at table with the King; but let me
go, that I may hide Myself in the field till the third day at evening.
1 Samuel 20:18
Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the
new month; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
Numbers 28:11-15
AT THE BEGINNINGS OF YOUR MONTHS you shall
offer a burnt offering to YAHUAH: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a
year old without blemish; 12 also three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a
cereal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenths of fine flour
for a cereal offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram; 13 and a tenth of fine
flour mixed with oil as a cereal offering for every lamb; for a burnt offering
of pleasing odor, an offering by fire to YAHUAH. 14 Their drink offerings shall
be half a hin of wine for a bull, a third of a hin for a ram, and a fourth of a
hin for a lamb; THIS IS THE BURNT OFFERING OF EACH MONTH THROUGHOUT THE MONTHS
OF THE YEAR. 15 Also one male goat for a sin offering to YAHUAH; it shall be
offered besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
Isaiah 66:23
From NEW MONTH TO NEW MONTH and from
Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to Worship before Me says YAHUAH.
Ezekiel 46:1
Thus says the Lord YAHUAH: The Gate Of The
Inner Court That Faces East Shall Be "Shut" On The Six Working Days;
but on the Sabbath Day it will be "Opened" and on the Day Of The NEW
MONTH it will be "Opened (so the sun could
shine in and illuminate the golden altar)."
Ezekiel 46:3
The people of the land will Worship At The
Entrance Of The Gate Before YAHUAH on the Sabbaths and on the NEW MONTHS.
Amos 8:4-7
Hear this! You that trample on the needy
will desist, and the poor of the land shall rest. 5 You that say, WHEN THE NEW
MONTH IS OVER, WE WILL SELL GRAIN, and the Sabbath, we will open the wheat, to
measure out less and get more shekels by falsifying the scales, and being
deceitful 6 to acquire the silver of the poor and the shoes of the needy, but
sell them the refuse of the grain. 7 YAHUAH swore that this arrogance of Jacob
will Never be forgotten, nor their works.
2 Kings 4:23
He said go, it is not the Day of the NEW
MONTH or Sabbath, so go in peace.
Enoch was the first man to write down the Calendar and it is
the Calendar that Two Classes of Angels use, who also observe the Sabbath Day
in heaven and on Earth:
Jubilees 2:16-17
And he completed all his work on the sixth
day, all that is in the heavens and on the Earth and in the seas and in the
abysses, in the light and in the darkness and in everything; and he gave us
[the angels] a great sign, the day of Sabbaths, that we should do work six
days, and should rest on the Sabbath from all work. 17 And all the Angels of
the Face and all the Angels that Cry " Holy," to us, these Two Great
Kinds, He said that we should observe the Sabbath with Him in heaven and on Earth.
Jubilees 4:16-19
And in the eleventh jubilee Jared took to
himself a wife, and her name was Baraka, a daughter of Rasujel, a daughter of
the sister of his father, in the fourth week of this jubilee; and she bore for
him a son in the fifth week, in the fourth year, of this jubilee, and he called
his name Enoch. 17 He was the first one from among the children of men that are
born on the Earth to learn writing and knowledge and wisdom. 18 And he wrote
the Signs of Heaven according to the Order of their Months in a book, that
the sons of men might know the time of the year according to their separate
months. 19 He was the first to write a testimony, and he testified to
the children of men concerning the generations of the Earth, and explained the Weeks
of the Jubilees, and made known to them the Days of the Years, and Arranged
the Months and explained the Sabbaths of the Years as we made them
known to him.
Targum (Psalm) 81:3
Blow the shofar in the month of Tishri, in
the month in which the Day of our Festivals is Concealed.
The word "Tishri" comes from the original Assyrian
word "Tasri-tu," (tasr˙tu), which means "Beginning," as in
the beginning of a month or the beginning of a year. In ancient times, the year
was in two periods of six months, and each of the six months were called the
"Beginning of the First month" to the "Beginning of the Sixth
month." This is why the Seventh Month became also known as the First
Month, and their names became interchangeable, and this is how the Jews ended
up having their New Year in Autumn instead of in the Spring. Even though it is
clear in Scripture that the Fall Feasts are at “the end of the year”.
Exodus 23:14-16
Three times in the year you shall keep a
feast to me 15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread; as I commanded
you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the
Month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me
empty-handed.16 You shall keep the feast of harvest, of the first fruits of
your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the Feast of
Ingathering at the END OF THE YEAR, when you gather in from the field the
fruit of your labor.
The Psalm 81:3 verse was translated incorrectly in many
English bibles. The words for "Full Moon" in Hebrew are (yareach male
יָרֵחַ
מָלֵא),
which was not used in this verse. The word used is (bakeseh בַּכֵּסֶה),
which means "Covered, Concealed, or Hidden," as the moon is
"hidden" by the brilliance of the sun in the daytime, and the moon is
"hidden" below the Earth's horizon at nighttime.
This process continues yearly on the Gregorian Calendar and
the True 7th Day Sabbath will begin on a different Day of the Week (Sunday
to Saturday) starting on the Last Day of the Year, which is March 16th, (the
Day of Equal Night and Equal Day in Jerusalem), and this is the SIGN of the
Sabbath Day:
Jubilees 2:20-22
And I have chosen the seed of Jacob from
amongst all that I have seen, and have written him down as My first−born
son, and have sanctified him unto Myself for ever and ever; 21 and I will teach
them the Sabbath Day, that they may keep Sabbath thereon from all work. And
thus HE CREATED THEREIN A SIGN in accordance with which they should keep
Sabbath with us on the Seventh Day, to eat and to drink, and to bless Him who
has created all things as He has blessed and sanctified unto Himself a peculiar
people above all peoples, 22 and that they should keep Sabbath together with
us. And He caused His commands to ascend as a sweet savour acceptable before
Him all the days.
Jubilees 2:16-17
And he completed all his work on the sixth
day, all that is in the heavens and on the Earth and in the seas and in the
abysses, in the light and in the darkness and in every thing; and HE GAVE US A
GREAT SIGN (FOR) THE DAY OF THE SABBATH, that we should do work six days, and
should rest on the Sabbath from all work. 17 And all the Angels of the Face and
all the Angels that Cry " Holy," to us, these Two Great Kinds, He
said that we should observe the Sabbath with Him in heaven and on Earth.
March 16th is the Last Day of the Year, the 364th Day, and
is the Day of Equal Night & Day in Jerusalem, with the Sunrise and Sunset
times occurring at 5:48 and Solar Noon occurring at 11:48 a.m. March 16th is
the 7th Day Sabbath and Sets the 7th Day Sabbaths for the Next Year on both the
Enoch Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar. March 17th is New Year's Day in every
year, but the world calls this day "Saint Patrick's Day".
The "International Date Line" puts certain
countries one day ahead of the Jerusalem date, (countries between 180° East
Longitude TO 36° East Longitude), which is from Eastern Russia to New Zealand,
TO Western Russia to Kenya. All the countries in-between this area will End the
Year on March 17th, (the 7th Day Sabbath), and March.18th is New Year's Day. The
7th Day Sabbaths and Holy Days in this region are one day after the Jerusalem
dates. If the International Date Line would be changed to 35° East Longitude
and the Prime Meridian would be changed to Jerusalem instead of Greenwich, then
all the countries on Earth would be keeping the same dates beginning from
Jerusalem. But that would be too easy. Mankind has a way of “going out of
the way” to disobey Yahuah. Like making the day turn at some random point in
the middle of the night (midnight) instead of logically and scripturally when
the sun goes down.
Jubilees 8:19
And he knew that the Garden of Eden is the
holy of holies, and the dwelling of the Lord, and Mount Sinai the centre of the
desert, and MOUNT ZION THE CENTRE AND THE NAVEL OF THE EARTH: these three were
created as holy places facing each other.
The day begins at dusk, twilight. The "day" is a
physical to spiritual parallel of the path we take to come to the knowledge of
Yahuah. We are born into "darkness" the absence of Spiritual Light,
then we "come to the light"… darkness to light. This is the same parallel as creation... it begins in
darkness with the Spirit of Yahuah hovering over the deep, and darkness filled
the void... then Yahuah says "let there be light"... darkness to
light.
Each day has a total of 1440 minutes per day, whether it is
broken down by 18 hours per day having 80 minutes per hour or 24 hours per day
having 60 minutes per hour. Jerusalem is where the timing begins for the
Sabbath DAY, at Dawn. For example, the Sun Rises over the Jerusalem area first
and travels westward, rising over Egypt, then Libya, then Algeria, then over
the Atlantic Ocean to rise over New York, continuing to California, then
Hawaii, then Japan, then China, then Afghanistan, then Iran, and then the Sun
Rises over the Jerusalem area again to begin the Next DAY, where Dawn continues
moving westward around the Earth to begin the Next DAY for all the nations on Earth:
Isaiah 2:3
And many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain
of YAHUAH, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and
that we may walk in his paths." For OUT OF ZION SHALL GO FORTH THE LAW,
AND THE WORD OF YAHUAH FROM JERUSALEM.
Micah 4:2
And many nations shall come, and say:
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of YAHUAH, to the house of the God of
Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths." For
out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YAHUAH from Jerusalem.
In other words, Dawn, (dawn/morning - boqer בֹּקֶר),
begins the 7th DAY, (day - yom יוֹם),
for all the nations on Earth, as Dawn is a "24-Hour Period"
that is allocated to all the nations. The Sabbath “Day” goes forth from
Jerusalem, making the "Dawn Time" be the beginning and the same
Sabbath “DAY” for all the nations on Earth. The Sabbath “DAY” starts and ends
during the time when the sun's light is seen. The term "Between the
Evenings" means from after sunset or Evening-Dusk to before sunrise or
Evening-Dawn, and between these two evenings is when the Hebrews killed and
prepared their lambs, and burned the leftovers before dawn or morning:
Jubilees 49:10-13
Let the children of Israel come and observe
the Passover on the day of its fixed time, on the fourteenth DAY of the first
month, BETWEEN THE EVENINGS, from the Third Part of the Day to the Third
Part of the Night, 11 for Two Portions of the Day are given to the
Light, and a Third part to the Evening. 12 This is that which the Lord
commanded thee that thou shouldst observe it BETWEEN THE EVENINGS. And it is
not permissible to slay it during any period of the Light, but DURING THE
PERIOD BORDERING ON THE EVENING, and let them eat it at the time of the Evening
until the Third part of the Night, 13 and whatever is left over of all its
flesh from the third part of the night and onwards, let them burn it with
fire.
Exodus 12:10
And you shall let nothing of it remain
until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning, you
shall burn with fire.
Psalm 113:3
From the Rising of the Sun to its Going
Down, YAHUAH's Name shall be praised.
Malachi 1:11
For from the Rising of the Sun to its Going
Down, My Name is the greatest among the nations; and in every place offerings
are brought in My Name, it shall be pure offerings, for My Name is the greatest
among the nations, says YAHUAH of hosts.
The term Evening is part of the Day. Evening (Dawn) and
Evening (Dusk) are the parts of the DAY that are SEPARATION periods created to
make a division in-between Night and Day. One part (evening/dawn) escorts the
LIGHT "in", for the DAY (sunlight) to begin, and one part
(evening/dusk) escorts the LIGHT "out," for the NIGHT to begin, and
Evening is basically the divider In-Between Day and Night, that SEPARATES the
Day from the Night. When the biblical texts say DAY, like in Sabbath Day, it
means only the period of LIGHT, and Philo Judaeus of the early first century CE
also explains this:
GENESIS 1:4-5
And God saw the Light, that it was good: and
God SEPARATED (בְדֵּל)
BETWEEN (בַּיִן)
the Light and the Darkness. 5 And God called the Light DAY, and the Darkness he
called NIGHT. And Evening and Morning was DAY One.
Each year the “Sign of the Sabbath” which is the day of equal light and
darkness is called the Equilux. On that day of March 16th, all of
the Earth is in harmony with Jerusalem.
As we see in the image above, there is one “Annual Day” in
each year. One long 7-month period of “daylight” at the North Pole and
corresponding “night” at the South Pole. Yahuah’s festivals fall at the
“beginning of the Annual Day” and at the “ending of the Annual Day”.
Exodus 23:14-16
Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me 15 You shall keep the
feast of unleavened bread; as I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread
for seven days at the appointed time in the Month of Abib, for in it you came
out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed.16 You shall keep the
feast of harvest, of the first fruits of your labor, of what you sow in the
field. You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the END OF THE YEAR,
when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.
The major objection to the Enoch Calendar (Yahuah’s
Calendar) is that it specifies 364 days in a year. This is a major problem
because the sun takes 365 days to complete its cycle through 4 Tekufahs
(seasons). Somewhere, the orbit has been effected! We must understand how (and
why) so that we can reconcile Yahuah’s Calendar with the witness of the sun
each year so that we remain on track.
The event that literally through off the cycle of the Sun
from Yahuah’s Calendar occurred when Joshua was in battle.
Jasher 88:63-65
And when they were smiting, the day was
Declining toward Evening, and Joshua said in the sight of all the people,
Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou moon in the valley of Ajalon, until
the nation shall have revenged itself upon its enemies.64 And the Lord
hearkened to the voice of Joshua, and the sun stood still in the midst of
the heavens, and it stood still SIX AND THIRTY MOMENTS, and the moon also
stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day. 65 And there was no day
like that, before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened to the voice of a
man, for the Lord fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:13-14
And the sun stood still, and the moon
stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this
written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and hasted not to go down a Whole Day. 14 And on the day before and after,
we heard YAHUAH and voice of men: for YAHUAH fought for Israel.
Enoch 72:25-26
And the sun rises on that day from that
second portal and sets in the west in the second portal, and returns to the
East into the FIRST PORTAL for ONE-AND-THIRTY MORNINGS (30 days), 26 and sets
in the First Portal in the west of the heaven. And on that day THE NIGHT
BECOMES LONGER AND AMOUNTS TO THE DOUBLE OF THE DAY: and the NIGHT amounts
exactly to TWELVE Parts and the DAY to SIX.
Yahuah literally extended that day so that the battle could
come to an end and not be effected by the Sabbath day. Then we have an instance
where Yahuah caused the moon to stand still.
2 Kings 20:11
Isaiah the prophet called out to YAHUAH to
keep back the shadow by Ten Degrees; and to keep it back from going higher or
lower as it ascends on Ahaz.
Isaiah 38:8
He shall keep back the shadow from
ascending or declining; as the sun ascends on Ahaz, it shall be kept back by
ten degrees. The sun shall be kept back ten degrees from going higher or lower.
Enoch 80:4
And the moon shall alter her order, And not
appear at her time.
These events have resulted in
the sun’s cycle taking 1 day longer than originally put forth in The Heavenly
Scroll. We expect prior to the Kingdom of Yahuah being setup on Earth by
Yahusha the proxy King… this will somehow be corrected and the Earth will be
returned to its perfect state prior to the fall. But we are still living in a
fallen state that has effected the sun’s cycle each year by a day.
In current Calendar of Yahuah
toward the end of the annual cycle of the Sun, the last two days of March 14/15
are represented as “one long day” or “Joshua’s Long Day” in order to reconcile
the events in Scripture where Yahuah altered the paths of the sun and moon
which added a day to the annual cycle of the sun.
So on the pagan calendar March
14 and March 15 are counted as 1 day, so that the year ends on The Sabbath
every year in 364 days, it is called Joshua’s Long Day. Then on
March 16th on the day of equal light and darkness, the Sign of the
Sabbath we end the year on a Sabbath. Then next day March 17th is
the festival of the New Month, we blow our shofars, start the yearly count over
with day 1 and start the entire process over for another year.
On leap years when the “day February 29th” is
inserted, it simply moves the dates up one day just before the Equilux.
