ENOCH: New Year starts March 20, 2009 at sunset in Jerusalem

The day from sunset March 20 to sunset March 21 marks the “beginning of the months for you, it is the first month of the year for you,” on the calendar revealed to Enoch; Also on this calendar all the Sabbaths, Feasts and High days of the law have been appointed.

For this says Yahua of armies, “Once more, in a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land …” Haggai 2:6

I have examined the calendar for this new year and found some interesting phenomena concerning the earth’s present condition. It seems as though more damage than first thought happened to the earth that resulted in what Enoch called “the first end.”

The prophecies in Enoch‘s  “Book of the Luminaries” also showed that it would be difficult for the people to stay in sync with the revealed calendar. There are laws of the calendar given in his writings. But something happened to the earth and its relationship to the sun that removed the simplicity of Enoch‘s revelation and left us with a problem of trying to understand the real situation.

Sometimes matters are hidden and the test is upon us to diligently search to find the answer. Then those with understanding will know, while others who do not have the desire to solve riddles, and who want to have it easy, will not understand.

So it is with the Laws of the calendar and how they apply in the present. Enoch was told by Uriel (a messenger) that these laws would continue until the new heavens and the new earth.

Where does that put us then?

From the Genesis account in the Bible, the fourth “day” of creation, the sun, moon, and stars were set for signs and appointed times. Because the time of the end of the ages is an appointed time, then does it not seem reasonable that we should understand the “times and the seasons?”

The laws of the calendar given to Enoch showed that the years was divided into quarters of 91 days each. The year had 364 days and consisted of nine months with 30 days and four months with 31 days. The extra day was added at the end of each quarter. Each of the quarters started on days that were directly related to the earth’s relation to the sun. The first and seventh month were tied to the equinox — the day when the sunset shadow cast by an upright west-facing pole lined up perfectly with an opposite east-facing pole. Or in the case of the great pyramid, the day in the year when the west and east facing sides at sunset or sunrise were fully illuminated while the north and south facing sides were in shadow.

The structure and alignment of the pyramid when looking down from the top, shows that the four sides, rather than being flat are angled toward the center of each side. This causes the north and south facing sides to be completely in shadow at the time of the spring and fall equinoxes at sunrise or sunset.

Something happened to the earth and its relation to the sun that messed up this tidy revelation

We can safely assume that when the earth and sun were set (fourth day) that it matched the revelation given to Enoch. I wonder if Enoch felt that Uriel’s revelation was overstating the obvious. Or was it important for Enoch to record this design for future generations (ours) because the earth was going to change when the flood came?

The vision of the flood was given to Enoch while he was young — as he stated, “before he was married.” Later Noah went on a quest to find his great-grandfather, Enoch, because “the earth was sinking!”

For Enoch, the flood was considered, “the first end.” The phrase implies there is “another end,” does it not?

The creation of the earth, atmosphere, and the bringing about of life on it, according to Genesis 1 was the result of huge and violent events. The earth was covered in darkness and water. There was no atmosphere. Then something happened that caused the water to split into water on the earth and water above the earth with an atmosphere of sorts in between, probably by great heat causing the water on earth to boil.

But when the “dry land” appeared there was tremendous earthquake and volcanic activity that may have lasted for a some time. The atmosphere was probably filled with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Then plant life began to flourish for a long time while it processed the CO2 to produce oxygen. Then as the plants decayed nitrogen was also released into the atmosphere. This did not happen overnight and natural processes were given full reign to produce a planet suitable for habitation by animal life, first birds and fish, and then mammalian life. If the birds, fish and bugs survived, then the earth was ready for mankind.

The waters above the earth probably in the stratosphere prevented or at least greatly reduced gamma rays from entering the troposphere and changing the nitrogen into radiocarbon or C14.

Thus the earth was made an ideal planet for life.

And so it was.

People then lived very long lives, and it seems that the first “age” or “week” of Enoch‘s vision was a time of understanding and revelation. It was during this time that Enoch started to write his books.

Then it all fell apart — literally.

Enoch began to witness the terrible changes that were taking place on the earth. Corruption came as a result of the rebellion of some of the messengers (“Watchers”) who corrupted the people by teaching them stuff they really didn’t need to know. Enoch saw that the earth and its people were going to be destroyed. He also saw that the messengers were going to be “imprisoned.” Then Enoch prayed and asked God or EL to not destroy all life, but instead to preserve his seed and save the earth through them.

And so it was, and so we are.

There was life before the flood, and a different life after it.

Much different.

The water above was gone. As a result radiocarbon began to be produced. This unstable form of carbon entered the DNA of all living creatures. The result is an eight to ten times shortening of life spans in all living things.

The earth’s rotation speed also increased. The water above also had the effect of slowing the rotation speed like a skater who spins while holding her arms out. Then when the waters came down, the earth began to spin faster just like a skater who increases her rotation speed by drawing her arms close to her body.

But that was not all that happened to the earth.

As I tried to reconstruct Enoch‘s calendar for publication, I found that I could not directly tie it to current solar events. The two key days of the calendar are the first day of the first month, and the first day of the seventh month. These are the equinox times. I noticed this in 2008 and found out some interesting and troubling things.

If the flood only caused the earth to rotate faster then it should be simple to deal with that fact, right? I thought, “Let the intercalary days at the end of each quarter take up the extra time.” But it isn’t that simple.

The period of time from spring equinox to fall equinox is longer than the time from fall equinox to spring equinox.

Something else changed and it wasn’t small either.

The orbit of the earth around the sun shows signs of a great perturbation — an event that actually caused the waters above the earth to be forced out of their “quiet” home in the stratosphere.

Not only that, this event also caused earthquakes and shaking of the earth to its core. Noah’s “sinking land” started before the flood came. It was after that that he was told to start building the ark or barge.

This shaking of the earth and later great disturbance to the earth’s atmosphere was also responsible for altering the earth’s orbit around the sun!

The only thing that could have caused such a great change is the presence of something large enough to disturb gravity.

Gravity is one of the great forms of energy that fills the universe. People think that gravity is a property of objects like planets, moons, and stars. But it really isn’t. These objects swim in gravity. They displace gravity. The larger the object, the greater the displacement. When that happens gravity “pushes” back. So what we experience on earth is not a pulling of gravity, but a pushing of gravity caused by the size of the earth in space. Now I know that physicists may argue this point, but there are no models that have proven an attraction between masses, unless that attraction is magnetic! For example, if gravity were not experienced as a “push” rather than a “pull” all the mass in the universe would be in one big glob. But the universe, rather than being pulled together, is actually being pushed apart. If you want to learn more about this then search for “gravitational push” on the Internet.

Here are the facts:

Although there is a slight variation from the year to year, the number of days from the summer solstice to the fall equinox is 93. And the number of days from winter solstice to spring equinox is 89 days. That accounts for 182 days. That means there are another 183 days in the year to come to 365 total.

What happened?

If at the beginning the earth was in a nice orbit where the year was 364 days with quarters of 91 days, then a change of this scope is not trivial, is it?

Now the first half of the year is 184 days, and the last half 181. The tidy 91 day quarters are gone, but the solar events still happen, don’t they?

It is easy to count the extra 1.242 days in our solar as a result of rotation speed increase, but that cannot account for the difference in time between solar events, can it?

If indeed something happened to the earth, then it must have happened to the solar system also.

The water above was pushed out of the stratosphere.

The land of earth was sinking!

Volcanoes and earthquakes caused the “fountains” to break up and come to the surface.

The earth was being shaken!

The event had the effect of stretching and compressing the orbit of the earth. It stretched the first half of the year and compressed the last half. Therefore, the time between the spring and fall equinoxes contains more days than the time between fall and spring equinoxes.

What could have caused such a massive change?

Scientist, including those as NASA, estimated that nearly 80% of all the solar systems are binary. That means that they have two “suns.” They also found that there are as many unseen “infrared” stars as there are visible stars in the sky. The unseen stars instead of producing bright light, like our sun, produce heat, and may only give off enough light to appear either brown or red, and only when close enough to be seen.

Therefore, the odds that our sun has a little brother are very high

Given the above lets take another look at the flood and see what might have happened, and then examine prophecies concerning our time.

Suppose a brown dwarf star larger than the size of Jupiter, complete with its own small set of planets may be in orbit around our sun. And suppose it doesn’t come by very often, like say every 5,000 years more or less. It doesn’t look like our sun. Instead it looks like a giant glowing ember from a coal furnace. If we were to see it in the sky, it would look like a red star. That means we may not be able to see it unless it is relatively close.

Now, given that its size is great enough, it causes a gravitational push of sufficient strength to actually change the orbits of the sun’s planets. This is called a perturbation. If it passed between the earth and the sun, it would have pushed the earth farther away from the sun so that more days are needed to reach the time of the next equinox. If it passed outside of the earth, with the earth between it and the sun, it would have pushed the earth closer to the sun. The effect is a change in the orbit of the earth from circular to elliptical. The consequence of this is the destruction of nearly all life on the planet.

Another scenario would be that instead of pushing it away from the sun, it may have caused the earth to speed up or slow down in its orbit. But that doesn’t make much sense, because even though it may have caused the orbit to speed up or slow down during the time of the  passing, then what happens to the earth’s orbit speed when this thing heads back into space?

Altering the earth’s orbit from circular to elliptical and slightly off center seems more plausible. This change would cause the earth to take longer on the far side of the ellipse and less time on the close side. This is the same pattern that comets or the probable second “sun” follow as they race around the sun. Only the scale is different.

What other force works in this process?

Magnetism. This has the effect of causing near objects to be drawn together or repulsed depending on their position relative to each other and the strength of the magnetic force of each. This is a property of each object.

But the “force” of gravity is a resultant of the amount of space they occupy. Because of gravity each object in the universe has an effect on each other object.

Ok, what does all this have to do with Enoch‘s calendar?

First, the most important time is “the beginning of the months.” This was how it was put to the Israelites days before they were to leave Egypt. Regardless of what happens to the other solar events, only the “beginning” of the year is important according to the Law.

“This month is the beginning of the months for you, It is the first month of the year for you … on the tenth day of this month …” Exodus 12:2-3

Later, as we shall see, the earth may change back to a more ideal position relative to the sun. But we are not there now.

Once the beginning of the year is set, then every other day falls into place in sequence. Then at the end of the year, we have an extra day that is not on the calendar. Historically, this extra time was not even counted as a day of the week. It was just a thing that occupied time without meaning. My feeling is that it should be a memorial day, a world day of remembrance of the time when nearly all life was destroyed. It should also be a day of thanksgiving for honoring the prayer of our father Enoch, who asked that his offspring be given a chance and allowed to continue after the flood.

I will be making this calendar available without charge as a PDF file in the Messages section of the blog. It will show the Sabbaths, Feasts and High Days, the beginning of each quarter and how this relates to the current Roman calendar. It will contain the 364 days of Enoch‘s calendar. It will conclude with the extra day and time of remembrance while we wait for the beginning of the months to start again.

Shocking prophecies of our near future.

Many people expect the “two witnesses” to start their prophecy this year. I don’t. Nor do I expect any supposed “rapture.” However, I do expect that we will see a time of increased trouble. The world is undergoing a financial and economic meltdown due mainly to greed and corruption. Even now the congress of the United States is running around like headless chickens trying to spend trillions of dollars with the hope of finding a solution. A trillion is a million million. Even that is hard to imagine. 1,000,000,000,000. But they and we are not looking at one trillion, but rather a debt coming closer to 10 trillion!

Maybe this will put this in perspective.

A dollar bill is 6.125 inches long. If we have a trillion of those dollars, and we decided to lay them out end to end just to see how much money we have, we would create a line of dollar bills 97,037,389 million miles long! That is farther than the distance from the earth to the sun by 400,000 miles! We are looking at debt of 10 trillion dollars, which is a line of dollar bills 970,373,891 miles long. That is farther than the distance from the sun to Saturn — 886.7 million miles.

This amount of debt is so huge that the thought of paying it back is beyond comprehension. If you have any cash on hand, you may want to put it into bottles of vodka. Money becomes meaningless when the government turns to the printing press to pay off that kind of debt. It is highly unlikely that there are enough trees in the world to make the paper to print that kind of money unless they only print $100,000 bills.

But there is one thing that has been left out of this formula: natural disasters.

The prophecies of Revelation 8 and 9 describe what is called the opening of the seventh seal, the first trumpets, and “first woe.”

Enoch called the flood the “first end.”

So what is the “first woe?”

Believe it or not, it is the next big event to happen on the world. This is a series of related natural disasters that have a haunting ring that is similar to what I described above.

Some have claimed that the “sixth” seal has yet to be opened. My guess is that we may never notice it. It involves something that happens spiritually. And because the world is basically dead spiritually,  almost no one would see the opening and the events of the sixth seal.

But not so with the opening of the seventh seal and the first woe

That will be felt by everyone. This is the time when the prayers of the righteous will begin to be answered. It is the time of the “trumpet sounds and shouts” which are a symbol of those prayers. They have little or nothing to do with trumpet sounds announcing each new month. Rather these are the answered prayers of the righteous as the earth and its people are prepared for the coming of the eighth “week” or age of Enoch‘s vision.

The first thing that happens is a warning that is accompanied by great noises, thunder, lightning, and a big earthquake. This is an attention getter. Just when or how this happens is not described, but what follows seems to indicate that something is happening outside of the earth.

The first trumpet sounds and hail and fire mixed with blood are thrown to the earth. Then massive fires destroys one third of the trees (say goodbye to printed money)  and all the grass is burned. This also comes to the earth from outside.

Then the second trumpet sounds and what looked like a great mountain was thrown into the sea making one third of the sea blood, and causing the death of one third of the living creatures in the sea, and in addition one third of the ships were destroyed (tsunami). Again, something came from outside the earth.

Then again, the third trumpet sounds and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of waters. In other words, something came from space and contaminated the water supply both the rivers and the waters under the earth. The result: many people die because of the poisoned waters.

Then a fourth messenger sounded his trumpet and the sun, moon and stars were darkened, and a third of the day was gone along with a third of the night. Something has entered the solar system and was so strong and big that both night and day were affected. The world and its people enter a time of great darkness.

But that was not the end.

The cry is “woe, woe, woe” to the inhabitants of the earth because of the three remaining blasts, which are about to sound.

Chapter 9 prophesies about the first and second woes. That which follows is only the first woe, and as you will see it is a continuation of what has happened with the first four trumpets.

The fifth messenger sounds his trumpet and once again, another star comes from “heaven” or space. This thing caused smoke to come up from “the deep pit”  like from a big furnace. The smoke also blackened the air and further darkened the sun. Then people began to be afflicted and tortured by the smoke for five months. Very likely the smoke was a mixture of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and arsenic. This came from space itself.

Only those who had the seal of Elohim were protected during this time of agony. The others without the seal sought to die, but could not. They continued to feel that agony from clouds and embers raining down on earth. These were likened to locusts coming down from heaven and behind them was the poison that tortured the people.

Then we are introduced to that which was responsible for all the suffering up to this time:

And they have over them a sovereign (king), the messenger of “the pit of the deep,” whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apolluon.

Abaddon means “wandering or traveling destroyer” and Apollyon means “destroyer.” The “pit of the deep” is not a reference to a pit on the earth, but more likely, a reference to the “deep pit” of outer space.

All of the events starting with the thunder, lightning and earthquake to the five months of torture came from this object that has approached and then entered into the solar system and afflicted the earth. The five months of relentless torture is the first woe.

These are the next events that the people of earth will experience. There will be more trouble from financial woes, corrupt and foolish governments, and conflicts between nations.

But be prepared for the time with the trumpets sound (the prayers of the righteous) as the earth begins to move closer to the next age.

The Conclusion

What does this mean for those who love the truth and righteousness? Although there is nothing specifically mentioned in the prophecies about the longterm effects of the first five trumpets and the first woe, there are positive results. I believe it is very possible that the events described above could restore the timing of the calendar back to its original design before the last seven years start.

For those who understand and have the blessing of protection during that time what could be more helpful than to know that the last years could be followed to the day. This is only a guess, but it is possible that the same force that made the change could also be the force that restores the earth. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Yahusha prophesied, “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars (planets). On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
