As we learned in the sermons on Creation, Jubilees contains more detail as to what occurred and how we all got here. This sermon will examine the real calendar, Yah's Calendar.
Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
To understand this verse we need too know that this is regarding the dream Daniel had of the end times and the Return of Yah (aka: The Merging of Spirit and Physical Realms: Aka- the separation of darkness and light).
When we know the real calendar, we learn that Daniel has a specific time in history that we can point to that is in his dream. That will be a different sermon as this is just for the calendars and explanation of how time is not correct.
In the sermon on Creation, we learned the sun is the keeper of seasons.
Jubilees 2:9-10
And God 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.
And it divideth the light from the darkness [and] for prosperity, that all things may prosper which shoot and grow on the earth.
The Purpose of The Sun
Days
Sabbaths
Months
Feats
Years
Sabbaths of Years
Jubilees
All The seasons of the Year
Day from Night (Darkness and Light)
Prosperity so All things grow on the earth
The four in bold, months, years, Sabbaths of Years, and Jubilees are going to help us understand Daniel's prophecy and the players he is identifying in sermons to come. For now we will learn the real time & how it was changed.
Jubilees 6:36-38
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 new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.
So Abba Yah is clear and even showed this to Daniel in his dream. Let us now break down
Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times H2166 and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
As you see Daniel said set time, time season... these are the months, years, Sabbaths of Years, and Jubilees spoken of that will be changed.
What is the correct calendar cycle?
-Solar-
How Long is A Year?
364 Days.
And that is actually what the current calendar called the Gregorian calendar is based on except it makes modifications based on the Council of Nicaea and some Roman Calander and not truth.
Enoch tells us the exact path the sun takes. He states over that the sun marks 364 days. These days are kept by the vernal equinox. Which occurs in the Spring and spring is the True beginning of the year.
Enoch 72:32-35
On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. 33. And the length of the day and of the night, and the shortness of the day and of the night arise-through the course of the sun these distinctions are made (lit. ' they are separated '). 34. So it comes that its course becomes daily longer, and its course nightly shorter. 35. And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun, for ever and ever.
When is Night and Day Equal?
The equinoxes happen in March (about March 21) and September (about September 23). These are the days when the Sun is exactly above the Equator, which makes day and night of equal length.
So, in the Northern Hemisphere you have: Vernal equinox(about March 21): day and night of equal length, marking the start of spring.
(During the northern hemisphere the southern hemisphere has the Autumnal Equinox)
The Equinox that occurs in the Northern Hemisphere during autumn: Autumnal equinox(about September 23): day and night of equal length, marking the start of autumn.
Again when you look this up your going to see a "tilt". This is not needed when you understand the path of the sun as explained in Enoch. This is map able on a flat earth model.
We Should All by know understand that Abba Yah doesn't start things during death or decay. The True New Year is in Spring and Not December.
Which of our Brothers and Sisters Celebrate New Year On or Near its real date Using Truth?
Nowruz (Iranian New Year)- Shem's Decendants
March 20, 2016.
Also celebrating the commencement of Spring, Nowruz is celebrated by both Zoroastrian and Baha’i communities. The date itself coincides with the Northward Equinox, which falls in mid-March each year. The day typically celebrated with trumpets to herald the new year, coloured eggs and pots of sprouting grains to signify growth, a hearty bowl of Ash-e Reshteh noodle soup, and most famously, with a good spring cleaning.
Aluth Avurudda (Sinhalese New Year)- Ham's Decendents
April 14th, 2016
Though Aluth Avurudda is a Sinhalese festival, it coincides with Tamil New Years and is celebrated by most people in Sri Lanka. Unlike other cultures, whose New Year’s Day welcomes harvest, Aluth Avurudda marks the end of the harvest season. It also coincides with one of two instances when the sun is directly above Sri Lanka. Locals celebrate the day by opening their front doors to encourage visits by family, friends, and even strangers. The preparation of small oil cakes called kavum, and several tropical plantain dishes are popular at this time, too.
Puthandu (Tamil New Year)- Ham's Decendants
April 14, 2016.
Puthandu celebrated annually on April 14, follows the solar calendar. The day is celebrated with new clothes, music, sweets, and rice flour kolams (street art) at the front of homes. Puthandu is celebrated predominantly in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu and in Sri Lanka. However other Tamil Diasporas in Malaysia and Singapore also celebrate the holiday.
These are an example of cultures that follow the solar calendar and celebrate New Year when it is to be celebrated. Understanding How Noah Divides the Land Links All Cultures to God.
What is the Oldest Calendar in use today?
The oldest calendar still in use is the Jewish calendar, which has been in popular use since the 9th century BC. It is based on biblical calculations that place the creation at 3761 BC.
Is the Jewish Calendar Right?
The Hebrew calendar, also called Jewish calendar, is a lunisolar calendar used today for Jewish religious observance, and as an official calendar of the state of Israel.
No, Because it is a lunisolar calendar
How can we confirm what Jubilees states? Enoch tells us the purpose of the sun as well and how it marks exactly 364 days in a year and is the only marker of time.
Abba just said to remind us all that Enoch was Shown This by Uriel the Holy Angel. He didn't just dream he Was Taken Up to These Realms. Enoch is recording this information he is being shown as directed By Abba Yah. So the source of this information should always be considered legit because it wasn't just a dream but actual places he saw . Uriel is the angle in charge of the luminaries and thus showed Enoch.
Enoch 72:1
The book of the courses of the luminaries of the heaven, the relations of each, according to their classes, their dominion and their seasons, according to their names and places of origin, and according to their months, which Uriel, the holy angel, who was with me, who is their guide, showed me; and he showed me all their laws exactly as they are, and how it is with regard to all the years of the world and unto eternity, till the new creation is accomplished which dureth till eternity.
The sermon on the sun, moon and flat earth are coming soon. (As I listen to Yah speak and type I am taking notes.) Now, back to this sermon.
Asking questions Always gets us answers. When was the 9th Century BC?
- 900-801 BC.
So what calendar did the Hebrews Use before 900 BC? To answer this we need to look at our ancestors.
All Roads Lead To Babylon!!!
Babylon was the first and is mentioned in Jubilees so is Nimrod and that is a separate sermon to come. For now we need to know
When was the Tower of Babel built?
Some scholars use internal and external evidence to offer 3500-3000 BC as a likely range for the date of the tower,
According to the book of Jubilees the tower was built from 1645 A.M-1688 A.M.
The Destruction occurred in the 17th Jubilee during the first year of the 49 years a Jubilee is made of, during the First week of that year.
The Tower of Babel was built by man only 833 years after man was created.
Remember Adam and Eve Spent Only 8 Years in The Garden of Eden? We will cover more in the next sermon on Jubilees and Sabbaths of Years when we learn how to calculate years.
When was Ancient Babylon?-
Babylon became a major military power under Amorite king Hammurabi, who ruled from 1792 to 1750 B.C. After Hammurabi conquered neighboring city-states, he brought much of southern and central Mesopotamia under unified Babylonian rule, creating an empire called Babylonia.
Babylon Changed the System to Lunar
The Calendar-University of Texas
The ancient Babylonians had a lunisolar calendar of 12 lunar months of 30 days each, and they added extra months when necessary to keep the calendar in line with the seasons of the year.
The ancient Egyptians were the first to replace the lunar calendar with a calendar based on the solar year. They measured the solar year as 365 days, divided into 12 months of 30 days each, with 5 extra days at the end.
We learn that Moses is told after his death Yah's children will sabotage Yah's Inscribed in Heaven Commands Regarding His Season, Times and Years.
Jubilees 6:38
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 moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.
HalleluYah Brothers and Sisters for Trying to Restore Yah's Time! Our ancestors deserve a pat on the back
Ancient Egypt- Ham's Territory
The Egyptians appear to have been the first to develop a solar calendar, using as a fixed point the annual sunrise reappearance of the Dog Star — Sirius, or Sothis — in the eastern sky, which coincided with the annual flooding of the Nile River. They constructed a calendar of 365 days, consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, with 5 days added at the year’s end. The Egyptians’ failure to account for the extra fraction of a day, however, caused their calendar to drift gradually into error.
Ptolemy III Euergetes of Egypt, in the Decree of Canopus (237 B.C.), introduced an extra day every four years to the basic 365-day calendar (this practice also having been introduced in the Seleucid calendar adopted in 312 B.C.).
Ancient Aztec- Ham's Territory
The Aztecs used two calendars to compute the days of the year. Xiuhpohualli (the first, or solar, calendar) consisted of 365 days, divided into 18 months of 20 units each, plus an additional period of five empty or unlucky days at the end of the year, called the Nemontemi
Cahokia Mounds: Illinois United States- Japheth's Territory
Interviews with archaeologists provide an explanation of Cahokia’s urban layout and the similarities to the celestial blueprint of Teotihuacan. These archaeologists discovered Cahokia’s “Woodhenge,” a ring of cedar posts that acts as a solar calendar to determine when to plant and harvest and gather for ceremonies. The people of Cahokia considered the area a sacred space. Like the sun pyramid in Teotihuacan, the location of Woodhenge is precisely aligned with the sun’s movements.
Mesoamerica- Japheth or Ham's depending on movement
The oldest form of the calendar—the solar round—was likely invented by the Olmec, epi-Olmec, or Izapans about 900-700 BCE, when agricultural was first established. The sacred round may have been developed as a subdivision of the 365-year one, as a tool specifically designed to track important dates for farming. The earliest confirmed combination of sacred and solar rounds is found in the Oaxaca valley at the Zapotec capital site of Monte Alban. There, Stela 12 has a date which reads 594 BCE. There were at least sixty or so different calendars invented in pre-Columbian Mesoamerican, and several dozen communities throughout the region still use versions of it.
Its important to understand that other civilizations are tied together. This is how we view the world or need to.
Now we learn that some of ancestors restored as close to possible a calendar back to Abba Yah's Word.
What calendar is close to correct according to Jubilees and Enoch?
.When Was The Byzantine Empire?
Started: May 11, 330 AD
Is The Julian Calendar Correct?- No
The Julian calendar is still used in parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church and in parts of Oriental Orthodoxy as well as by the Berbers. The Julian calendar has two types of years: a normal year of 365 days and a leap year of 366 days.
The Julian calendar's predecessor, the Roman calendar, was a very complicated lunar calendar, based on the moon phases. It required a group of people to decide when days should be added or removed in order to keep the calendar in sync with the astronomical seasons, marked by equinoxes and solstices.
In order to create a more standardized calendar, Julius Caesar consulted an Alexandrian astronomer named Sosigenes and created a more regulated civil calendar, a solar calendar based entirely on Earth's revolutions around the Sun, also called a tropical year. It takes our planet on average, approximately 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds (365.242189 days) to complete one full orbit around the Sun.
Here we learn Caesar was close, much closer than the lunar calendar. We know they wont admit Yah is right, so they wont use His time
Is The Gregorian Calendar Right?- No
Encyclopedia Britannica- All of It
Today, the vast majority of the world uses what is known as the Gregorian calendar, Named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in 1582. The Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian calendar, which had been the most used calendar in Europe until this point.
Here we learn Yahusha's Birth date as well which is where we will end this sermon.
