It is very difficult for most People to understand that the time in the  Enoch Year (2009/2010) from Monday at Sunset through Tuesday at sunset is the Sabbath Day as taught in the Torah and the Sabbath that was set apart at the beginning. Is that relevant today? But that is only one item. What about the Torah or even the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? Are they relevant? Some opine that none of these are “relevant in this age of ‘new enlightenment.’”

Some ask: How could the Sabbath be on a Monday and Tuesday? Wasn’t it “supposed” to be on Friday and Saturday? or on Sunday? Or maybe, as some believe, it was “done away” or “fulfilled.”

Many of you, some readers and others not, have been searching this blog for information about the “special” year 5769, what makes it special, and does that have any cause for concern on your part.

First, according to the Jewish lunar calendar, their new year starts on the sunset of September 30 and continues through the sunset of October 1. The interesting fact, to them at least, is that that day is also the fourth day of the week on their calendar. The fourth day for those who know Genesis 1, is the day when the sun, moon, and stars were set for “signs and appointed times, and for days and for years,”

However, the fourth day of Genesis has been known forever as the time of the vernal or spring equinox, and not the autumnal or fall equinox. So the “fourth day of creation” in the fall on the lunar calendar is only a mathematical/astronomical event that happens periodically.

Yet this is a special time of prayer and spiritual closeness in the minds of those who follow the lunar calendar.

The influence of Enoch can be found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. This Bible study shows that the book of Exodus and the Crucifixion and Resurrection provides some of the strongest evidence that the calendar revealed to Enoch is in force and supported by powerful events.

The “Revealed” calendar from the Enoch’s “Book of the Luminaries,” one of the books in I Enoch, sets pattern that persists from quarter to quarter and from year to year. The first day of the month is always on a solar event, that is, either an equinox or a solstice. The first day of the month always starts at sunset and is the fourth day of the week. Each month is thirty days long, and an extra day is added as the 31st day of the third month. There are exactly fifty-two weeks in each year.

The weekly Sabbaths are always on the same days of each quarter and the same days of the year. This means that if we know on what day of the month a weekly Sabbath occurs, then we can relate that to a position on the Revealed calendar. For example, if we read that a Sabbath is on the 16th day of the month, we know that would be the second month of the quarter. As noted, all quarter follow the same pattern.

Evidence from Exodus: First Month

Does what happened during the weeks before and after being delivered from Egypt, provide support for the Jewish lunar calendar or for the Revealed calendar given by the Messenger Uriel to Enoch
In the Bible in Exodus 12 Eyahuwah begins to align the people of Israel with the revealed calendar. First He declares the start of the year: …

I promised Jonathan that I would give some material about the symbols found on the entrance to the tomb. It is not the “all-seeing eye” as some suppose.

First, understanding the meaning of the symbols does not add evidence to conclude or dismiss the theory that Jesus bones were put in the tomb along with Mary Magdalene, the son of Jesus, and Mary, Jesus’s brother, and others in the family.

Also the resurrection of the dead does not demand the gathering up of the pieces in an attempt to put the body back together. According to the Scriptures we will receive new bodies into which our spirits will be placed. The “resurrection of the body” is a myth. I don’t think anyone wants their old body back. I don’t.
