- The calendar year is 364 Days as stated 5 times in 1st Enoch, twice in Jubilees and twice in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
- Jubilees 6:32-38 is an explicit reference that the calendar is 364 Days and not a 354 Day Lunar Calendar and those that use a lunar calendar will be in severe error for Feast Days and Sabbaths and Months, and Years, and more.
- New Month = Rosh Chodesh. Rosh in Hebrew means “head.” Chodesh in Hebrew means “renewing cycle.
- The calendar has 12 months of 30 Days each plus 4 intercalaray days, which are 1 day at the end of the every three months: months 3, 6, 9, and 12 have 31 days.
- Strongs H2320 (chôdesh) means month, not moon
- Strongs H3394 (yârêach) means moon
- 1st Enoch chapter 72 describes how the sun rises and sets in portals along the horizons for the following days: 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, & 31 for a total of 364 Days.
- The Sping Equinox is the 365th Day of the Solar Cycle and not part of the 364 Day Calendar Year. There is a distinction between the solar cycle and the solar calendar year. Every 4th year there is a leap day and the Spring Equinox occurs on the 366th Day of the solar cycle.
- The Spring Equinox seperates the calendar years as per Enoch 72:32-33 “through the course of the sun these distinctions are made (literally ‘they are separated’).”
- Jubilees 2:9 “And Elohim appointed the sun to be a great sign on the earth for days and for sabbaths and for months and for feasts and for years and for sabbaths of years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the years.” This verse means that the sun calibrates / re-calibrates / resets the calendar, year on year. This means, that it is not the moon determining the seasons, years, feasts etc.
- How does the sun do this? By the Spring Equinox. The sun’s casted shadow on the Spring Equinox is the Great Sign on the earth and it calibrates everything mentioned in Jubilees 2:9. The Spring Equinox resets the calendar year after year and in doing so it also establishes the days of the week for the new year. So we here on earth synchronise our days to the heavenly days. This means that YHWH Elohim’s calendar does not use the wrong Gregorian days of the week but rather establishes the days of the week for the new year.
- The day following the Spring Equinox is the 1st Day of the 1st Month and resets to the 4th Day of the Week, the day Elohim made the sun, moon, and stars, and “time began.”
- Therefor every Festival (and date) is on the same day of the week every year. example: no Passover, or any other Festivals takes place on the 7th Day Sabbath. An overlap will disturb the uniqueness of the feast day.
- The “24 Hour” Day begins at sunrise, not sunset as described in 1st Enoch chapter 72 regarding the first law of the luminaries.
- At least two accounts in the Bible confirm this calendar pattern: Yeshua is crucified in the middle of the week (Dan9:27): when counting back makes the first day of the first month the 4th day of the week. The second occurrence happens in the creationweek: on Day 4 (the middle of the week) the heavenly luminaries are created and we can assume that from that point onwards time begins to tick, from a calendar point of view.
- The Feast of Firstfruits is confirmed by Yeshua in John 20:7. In the morning after the resurrection He may not be touched by Mary Magdalene, but that same evening He meets the disciples, saying that the Father has sent Him. We may therefor conclude that Yeshua offered Himself as the Firstfruits of the Resurrection. This makes the Feast of Firstfruits part of the Passover week.
- The feast of Shavuot is to be counted as described in Leviticus 23:15,16. The morning following the Shabbath following (from) the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering (Firstfruits), you shall count seven Sabbaths to complete. This brings Shavuot to always fall on the 15th of the 3rd month, as confirmed many times in the book of Jubilees, being the day of Covenant Renewal.
- Dead Sea Scrolls 4Q394 & 4Q325
- Jubilees 14:10: in the middle of the 3rd month: Abram’s nations covenant, renewing Noah’s covenant to replenish the earth.
- Jubilees 15:1-4: Nations covenant reconfirmed with Abram. He is now named Abraham. Circumcision as a covenant token (Jubilees 15:11). Sarai renamed to Sarah (Jubilees 15:15). Sarah promised to bear a son (Jubilees 15:19). See also: Isaac & Yeshua
- Jubilees 16:19: Sarah bears a son in the middle of the 3rd month
- Jubilees 44:4: celebrating the firstfruit harvest on the 15th of the 3rd month
- Exodus 19:10-11: Israel arrives at mount Sinai.
- Acts 2:1: The Holy Spirit is poured out on the Apostles.
- Jubilees 28:15: Judah is born
- Jubilees 29:7: covenant between Laban and Jacob
- John 4:35: Yeshua declares the space between the feast of in-Gathering and Shavuot being 4 months, the 15th of the 3rd month, Shavuot, and 15th of the 7th month, the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles, the autumn harvest feast.
- The Season days, the Spring Equinox day and the leap-year day are not counted as calender days: the bible always uses a 360-day number for a year, but assumes a solar cycle.
