Enoch’s Yearly Circuit of the Sun

Overview

In about the year 4012 BC, Noah’s grandfather Enoch documented the yearly circuit of the sun in Book of Enoch. Enoch taught the laws of the sun to his son Methuselah and Methuselah taught these laws to his son Noah.  Noah I’m sure cherished the books that his grandfather Enoch wrote and took them on the ark with him for safe keeping.  From there the knowledge was passed down to all of Noah’s descendants.  Our bibles reflect that king David was aware of the circuit of the sun in this verse:  

“In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.” Psa 19:5-6 

There are several places in our bibles called ‘Gilgal or Galgal’ which means ‘circle of stones’.  There are ancient circle of stone on earth that do track the circuit of the sun as Enoch described in the Book of Enoch.

“And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho. And the twelve stones which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Josue pitched in Galgal, And said to the children of Israel: When your children shall ask their fathers, to morrow, and shall say to them: What mean these stones? You shall teach them and say: Israel passed over this Jordan through the dry channel.” DR Joshua 4:19-22

Enoch’s Yearly Circuit of the Sun

Enoch documented the circuit of the sun from our perspective here on earth; meaning our view of what the sun appears to be doing.  For example, today we say the sun rises in the east and sets in the west; however the sun did not move instead the earth’s rotation causes this effect.  Enoch documented the sun’s movement as seen from the Northern Hemisphere.

Each gate or portal contains a window for viewing two different constellations at the start of each month. Only one constellation is viewed at one time depending on whether the sun is heading north or south.  The months reflected in purple below are the months where the sun is heading in a northern direction.  The months in red reflect the sun’s movement in a southern direction.  Since the constellation do move one degree every seventy years, a month may start in one constellation and end in another constellation.  This diagram reflects a full month being in the same gate; however, currently today we are starting and ending a month in a different constellation.  For example, in the 1^st Month of the year called Abib, we start with the constellation Aquarius and end the month with the constellation Pisces.  

The numbers in the diagram below reflect the 12 biblical months which are different then the months on our current calendar.  As Enoch explains, the first month of the year begins in the fourth gate or portal.   It is interesting to note that the sun and the stars were created on the fourth day of creation according to Genesis, chapter one.  And also that the 1^st day of each season begins on the fourth day of the week which is Wednesday when using a proper biblical calendar.

The Book of Enoch, chapter 72, which describes how the diagram above works:

 “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. 2. And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the Sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven, and its setting in the western portals of the heaven. 3. And I saw six portals in which the sun rises, and six portals in which the sun sets and the moon rises and sets in these portals, and the leaders of the stars and those whom they lead: six in the east and six in the west, and all following each other in accurately corresponding order: also many windows to the right and left of these portals. 4. And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the Sun, and his circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire. 5. The chariot on which he ascends, the wind drives, and the sun goes down from the heaven and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is so guided that he comes to the appropriate (lit. 'that') portal and shines in the face of the heaven. 6. In this way he rises in the first month in the great portal, which is the fourth ⌈those six portals in the cast⌉. 7. And in that fourth portal from which the sun rises in the first month are twelve window-openings, from which proceed a flame when they are opened in their season. 8. When the sun rises in the heaven, he comes forth through that fourth portal thirty mornings in succession, and sets accurately in the fourth portal in the west of the heaven. 9. And during this period the day becomes daily longer and the night nightly shorter to the thirtieth morning. 10. On that day the day is longer than the night by a ninth part, and the day amounts exactly to ten parts and the night to eight parts. 11. And the sun rises from that fourth portal, and sets in the fourth and returns to the fifth portal of the east thirty mornings, and rises from it and sets in the fifth portal. 12. And then the day becomes longer by †two† parts and amounts to eleven parts, and the night becomes shorter and amounts to seven parts. 13. And it returns to the east and enters into the sixth portal, and rises and sets in the sixth portal one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign. 14. On that day the day becomes longer than the night, and the day becomes double the night, and the day becomes twelve parts, and the night is shortened and becomes six parts. 15. And the sun mounts up to make the day shorter and the night longer, and the sun returns to the east and enters into the sixth portal, and rises from it and sets thirty mornings. 16. And when thirty mornings are accomplished, the day decreases by exactly one part, and becomes eleven parts, and the night seven. 17. And the sun goes forth from that sixth portal in the west, and goes to the east and rises in the fifth portal for thirty mornings, and sets in the west again in the fifth western portal. 18. On that day the day decreases by †two† parts, and amounts to ten parts and the night to eight parts. 19. And the sun goes forth from that fifth portal and sets in the fifth portal of the west, and rises in the fourth portal for one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign, and sets in the west. 20. On that day the day is equalized with the night, [and becomes of equal length], and the night amounts to nine parts and the day to nine parts. 21. And the sun rises from that portal and sets in the west, and returns to the east and rises thirty mornings in the third portal and sets in the west in the third portal. 22. And on that day the night becomes longer than the day, and night becomes longer than night, and day shorter than day till the thirtieth morning, and the night amounts exactly to ten parts and the day to eight parts. 23. And the sun rises from that third portal and sets in the third portal in the west and returns to the east, and for thirty mornings rises in the second portal in the east, and in like manner sets in the second portal in the west of the heaven. 24. And on that day the night amounts to eleven parts and the day to seven parts. 25. 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, and sets in the first portal in the west of the heaven. 26. 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. 27. And the sun has (therewith) traversed the divisions of his orbit and turns again on those divisions of his orbit, and enters that portal thirty mornings and sets also in the west opposite to it. 28. And on that night has the night decreased in length by a †ninth† part, and the night has become eleven parts and the day seven parts. 29. And the sun has returned and entered into the second portal in the east, and returns on those his divisions of his orbit for thirty mornings, rising and setting. 30. And on that day the night decreases in length, and the night amounts to ten parts and the day to eight. 31. And on that day the sun rises from that portal, and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the west of the heaven. 32. 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. 36. And that which (thus) rises is the great luminary, and is so named according to its appearance, according as the Lord commanded. 37. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal.”

The diagram below shows how the earth tilts causing the Northern Hemisphere to receive more daylight in the summer and less daylight in the winter.  The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly overhead of the Tropic of Cancer.  The winter solstice occurs when the sun’s position is directly overhead of the Tropic of Capricorn.  These two tropics were named this during the time of Enoch’s life since the constellation of Cancer was back then the most northern constellation over head during the summer solstice and constellation of Capricorn was the most southern constellation back then during the winter solstice (see diagram above).  Therefore, this proves that this information was documented around the time of Enoch’s life.  

The 3^rd biblical month now starts at the end of the Aries constellation (Aries is the smallest constellation) and beginning of the constellation of Taurus now due to the movement of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac.  The sun’s position at the end of the 3^rd month, on the 31^st day also called the 91^st day of the spring quarter which is called the summer solstice is actually in between Taurus and Gemini now.  Therefore, the constellation Cancer is no longer the most northern constellation any longer as it was during Enoch’s lifetime.  

The biblical 9^th month begins in the constellation of Libra; however on the last day on the 9^th month, which is either called the 31^st day or the 91^st day of the fall quarter, the winter solstice now occurs between the constellations Scorpio and Sagittarius and not at Capricorn any longer like it did during Enoch’s lifetime.

Enoch’s circuit of the sun tracked time with a sidereal day and year.  A sidereal year is 23.60 hours shorter than our current calendar.  Our current Gregorian calendar tracks the year tropically and is not as accurate.  In fact today’s astronomers use the Julian calendar day and year for tracking time since it is more accurate than our current day Gregorian calendar.

Below is a picture of the spring equinox and winter solstice that I took from my front porch in Missouri.  The sun appears much bigger on the equinox since the sun is so much closer to me.  On the winter solstice the sun is rising all the way down in the southern hemisphere on the Tropic of Capricorn; therefore appears much smaller to me.  Notice how far away the sun is rising from the electric pole on the winter solstice; however on the equinox the sun is close to the pole. The picture was taken two days after the winter solstice since the sky was too cloudy on the other days. 

Stone Circuits of the Sun

Noah’s descendants have been tracking the circuit of the sun ever since Noah’s flood in many places all over the world.  This ancient mound in Peru shows how the yearly circuit of the sun is viewed from the earth (more info here).

There are lots of stone made circuits on the earth that track the circuit of the sun and here are a few examples:

Conclusion

Now each time you see the Topic of Cancer or Capricorn on a map remember that it was placed there during the time that Enoch and Noah lived.  Let’s also remember that is was Noah’s and Jacob-Israel’s descendants that built the stone circuits to track the sun. 

The Biblical Weekly Cycle of Seven

Overview

According to the laws of Moses the Israelites were to track time using a week of seven days and years grouped in a seven year cycle.  I believe our Father in Heaven asked that this be done so that the weekly cycle of seven would never be broken and there is proof that this cycle was never broken.  Even though the names of the days of the week were changed and our calendar did change, the cycle of seven was not interrupted.  I will explain how this is possible below.

Jesus’ Resurrection is Celebrated on Sunday

It is tradition to celebrate Christ’s resurrection on Sunday and that tradition was started right after Jesus was crucified.  Based on my research I have found that the Sabbath day is a ‘day of rest’ and was never intended to be a church day.  I wrote more about the Sabbath day of rest here.  Sunday was the day that congregation met and they named that day ‘the Lord’s day’ because that was the day that Mary discovered that Jesus’ tomb was empty and that Jesus had risen.

“And in the end of the sabbath [Abib 18], when it began to dawn towards the first day [Abib 19] of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow. And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.”  DR Matthew 28:1-6

“And on the first day [Abib 19] of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre. And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.” DR Luke 24:1-2

“And on the first day [Abib 19] of the week, Mary Magdalen cometh early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre; and she saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre. She ran, therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.” DR John 20:1-2

Today Jesus’ resurrection is always celebrated on Sunday since that is the first day of the week when Mary found the tomb empty and Jesus appeared to them.  This day is traditionally called ‘Easter Sunday’ for this reason.  Church’s today do not celebration Christ’s resurrection on the correct date but they do hold to the tradition of celebrating his resurrection on Sunday.  On a proper calendar, such as Enoch’s or the Jubilee calendars, Abib 19 must be on the first day of the week now called Sunday.  The seven day weekly cycle has not been broken since the time of Christ’s resurrection and probably has not been broken since creation.  When the current Gregorian calendar, also called New Style, was implemented this seven day cycle was not broken since Wednesday, 2 September 1752, was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752. America adopted the New Style calendar while a colony of the British Empire.  The dates on a proper calendar should always be, as follows:

• Abib 13 – Monday - The Last Supper
• Abib 14 – Tuesday - Passover and Christ’s crucifixion (He was placed in the tomb just before the dawn of the 15^th which was Unleavened Bread)
• Abib 18 – Sabbath or Saturday - Christ’s Resurrection (after 3 days and 3 nights in tomb Luke 24:46)
• Abib 19 – Sunday, the 1^st day of the week - Mary finds the tomb empty and later that day Christ appears and shows that he was resurrected.

Here is how the events are shown on the Enoch and Jubilees calendar:

Kyriaki is the Lord’s Day in the Bible

In this article I refer to Sunday as ‘the Lord’s day’ since this is the wording in our bibles; however the words used in the original ancient Greek was ‘Kyriakí day’ and I do not think this word is being properly translated.  The word Kyriaki is derived from  κύριος - kurios which was translated to the word ‘Lord’ 626 times in the New Testament.  Κύριος was also translated to Lord in the Septuagint version of the bible that was written 400 years earlier than the New Testament. Kyriaki or kyriakós is an adjective meaning ‘belonging to the Lord’.  Kyriakós is used in reference to ‘the Lord’s Supper’ and ‘the Lord’s day’ being Sunday. 

In this verse the word Kyriakós is used in reference to eating Jesus’ supper that was done on Sundays when they met together:

“When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.” 1 Cor 11:20

“Συνερχομένων οὖν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, οὐκ ἔστιν κυριακὸν [belonging to the Lord] δεῖπνον φαγεῖν.”  1 Cor 11:20

The Latin Vulgate has a Latin version of the word Kyriakós which is Dominicam and that was used in their language of the bible:

“convenientibus ergo vobis in unum iam non est dominicam [belonging to the Lord] cenam manducare” 1 Cor 11:20

In this verse the words ‘Lord’s day’ or Kyriakós are used and confirm that Jesus came to John with the revelation on a Sunday:

“I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet” DR Rev 1:10

“Ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι ἐν τῇ κυριακῇ (Lord’s) ἡμέρᾳ·(day) καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν ὀπίσω μου μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγος” Rev 1:10 Also see Strong’s interlineal http://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/1-10.htm

“fui in spiritu in dominica (Lord’s) die (day) et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubae” Rev 1:10

John did know the difference between the Sabbath and Kyriakós since here he uses the word Sabbath.  The English, Greek and Latin versions all reflect the word Sabbath.

“Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.” DR John 9:14

Ἦν δὲ σάββατον ὅτε τὸν πηλὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς. BR John 9:14 Also see Strong’s interlineal http://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/9-14.htm

“autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Iesus et aperuit oculos eius” LV John 9:14

1^st Century Use of the Lord’s Day

In the Teachings of the Twelve Apostles written in the first century and is called the Didache, it confirms that the ‘Lord’s day’ was when the early congregations assembled:

“But every Lord’s day do ye gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure.”  Didache 14:1

The Didache also confirms the use of the word ‘preparation’ as a named day of the week:

“But let not your fasts be with the hypocrites; for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week; but do ye fast on the fourth day and the Preparation [Friday].” Didache 8:1

Greek & Latin Week Days

The table below reflects the ancient names for the week days.  In about 321 AD, Constantine instituted that the days be named as they are today; the days were named after planets and prior to this only some places used planet names.  Notice that both Greek and Latin have a word for ‘the day of the Lord’ and a different word that is used for the Sabbath day.  The Greeks reflects that called Friday preparation day since that is the day you would prepare for the Sabbath day.

	English	Ancient Greek		Latin
		Word	Meaning	Word	Meaning
1	Sunday	Κυριακή -Kyriakí	Lord’s day  κύριος (kýrios, Lord)	dies Dominica dīēs Sōlis	'day of the Lord' Sun
2	Monday	Δευτέρα -Deftéra	second	dīēs Lūnae	Moon
3	Tuesday	Τρίτη - Tríti	third	dīēs Mārtis	Mars'war, battle'
4	Wednesday	Τετάρτη -Tetárti	forth	dīēs Mercuriī	Mercury merchandise
5	Thursday	Πέμπτη -Pémpti	fifth	dīēs Iovis	Jupiter father Jove, father Zeus
6	Friday	Παρασκευή –Paraskeví παρασκευή - paraskeué	preparation day ‘day before Sabbath or Feast Day’	dīēs Veneris	Venus 'to wish, love' 'worship, adore'
7	Saturday	Σάββατο -Sávvato	sábbaton – Sabbath	dies Sabbati dīēs Saturnī	Sabbath Saturn 'to sow'

So even though the names of the weeks were changed the cycle was not broken.

The Biblical Week

Our bible does reflect that the week has always been seven days and that the seventh day is a ‘day of rest’.   Here are the definitions of the word day and week:

English	Ancient Greek		Latin		Block Hebrew
	Word	Meaning	Word	Meaning	Word	Meaning
Day	μέρα - méra ημέρα - iméra	daylight, hot, burn	dies	Solar or sidereal day, daylight	yom	Hot or warm hours
Week	εβδομάδα - evdomáda From ἕβδομος - hébdomos, “seventh”,	A group of 7 days or years	vicis hebdomada ebdomadarum	Change, turn, week, group of seven	shabua	Group of 7 days or years

Genesis

Our Father in Heaven used a seven day week to create our world and then rested on the seventh day that day was later named the Sabbath day.

“And God blessed the seventh [εβδόμη – évdomos, seventh] day [ημέρα –iméra - daylight] and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.” Gen 2:3  

The Latin and block Hebrew versions of the bible also a confirm seven day week with the seventh day being a holy day:

“et benedixit diei [daytime] septimo [seventh] et sanctificavit illum quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus [God] ut faceret” LV Gen 2:3

“And he blessed the seventh [shebii or shebiith, seventh] day [yom, day] and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God [Elohim]created and made.” DR Gen 2:3

Exodus Confirms the Seven Day Week Cycle

 The laws of Moses confirm a seven day week with the seventh day being a day of rest:

“Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh [εβδόμη – évdomos, seventh] day thou shalt rest: there shall be rest in seed-time and harvest [αμητώ-amén, form of amen, to fulfill]. And thou shalt keep to me the feast [εορτήν-giortí, celebration] of weeks [εβδομάδων, evdomáda, week], the beginning of wheat [πυρών-purôn,  watchfires or puron corn or wheat] –harvest [θερισμού-therízo, reap, cut] and the feast of ingathering in the middle of the year [ενιαυτού - eniautós, year].” Exo 34:21-22

The Latin and block Hebrew versions of the same verses confirm the seven day week cycle:

“sex diebus operaberis die septimo cessabis arare et metere sollemnitatem ebdomadarum [hebdomada, seven or week] facies tibi in primitiis frugum [crop or produce] messis [harvest] tuae triticeae [wheat root word grind] et sollemnitatem [solemnity or ceremony] quando redeunte anni [year] tempore cuncta conduntur” LV Exo 34:21-22

“Six days shalt thou work, the seventh [shebiith: seventh] day thou shalt cease to plough, and to reap. Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks [shabua: a period of seven] with the firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat [uncertain, grain or the plant] harvest, and the feast when the time of the year returneth that all things are laid in.” DR Exo 34:21-22

Feast of Weeks Confirms Seven Day Week Cycle

The countdown to the Feast of Weeks that is also called Pentecost confirms a seven day cycle of seven weeks is used to count the number of day from the Wave Sheaf feast that is also called First Fruits. Therefore they had to keep track of the week days to ensure that the Feast of Weeks is celebrated the correct day.  The picture of the calendar above does show seven weeks between First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks.

 “And ye shall number to yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day on which ye shall offer the sheaf of the heave-offering, seven full weeks: until the morrow after the last week ye shall number fifty days, and shall bring a new meat-offering to the Lord.” Lev 23:15-16

“Seven weeks shalt thou number to thyself; when thou hast begun to put the sickle to the corn, thou shalt begin to number seven weeks. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the Lord thy God, accordingly as thy hand has power in as many things as the Lord thy God shall give thee.” Deu 16:9-10

The Year of Jubilee Confirms Seven Day and Year Cycle

The laws of Moses reflect that the Israelites were to keep track of years in increments of seven so that the Year of Jubilee could be proclaimed:

“And thou shalt reckon to thyself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to thee seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.  In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement ye shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land. And ye shall sanctify the year, the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go each to his family.” Lev 25:8-10 

More information about the Jubilee Cycle is posted here https://kingdomhereamerica.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-jubilees.html

The Priestly Courses Tracked by Weeks

The priestly divisions, of the year, were created by King David and they are also known as courses.  These courses were tracked by the week.  King David’s priestly courses are described in 1 Chronicles chapter 24. The priestly courses were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls showing that the priestly courses rotated the weeks.  At the time Mary conceived Jesus the courses were still being followed as shown here in Luke:

“There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.”  DR Luke 1:5

The Book of Jubilees

The book of Jubilees does track time using a seven day week and a seven year cycle.  Here are a couple of examples from the book of Jubilees:

“And in the third week in the second jubilee she gave birth to Cain, and in the fourth she gave birth to Abel, and in the fifth she gave birth to her daughter Awan. And in the first (year) of the third jubilee, Cain slew Abel because (God) accepted the sacrifice of Abel, and did not accept the offering of Cain.” Jubilees 4:1-3

“And in the fifth year of the fourth week of this jubilee, in the third month, in the middle of the month, Abram celebrated the feast of the first-fruits of the grain harvest.” Jubilees 15:1-2

Daniel

During the time of Daniel they were tracking weeks:

 “Seventy weeks have been determined upon thy people, and upon the holy city, for sin to be ended, and to seal up transgressions, and to blot out the iniquities, and to make atonement for iniquities, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal the vision and the prophet, and to anoint the Most Holy. And thou shalt know and understand, that from the going forth of the command for the answer and for the building of Jerusalem until Christ the prince there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks; and then the time shall return, and the street shall be built, and the wall, and the times shall be exhausted. And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint the city to desolations. And one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and on the temple shall be the abomination of desolations; and at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation.” Dan 9:24-27

Week Days for Offerings, Feast Days, & Fasts

Our Father in Heaven’s offering, feasts, fasts and work days were all organized for us from the beginning of time.  From week to week and year to year this organization must not be altered.

Sunday is the 1^st Day of the Week is ‘Kyriakí day’ meaning ‘belonging to the Lord’.  This is the day that many today still bring their offers (or tithes) to their congregation with them.  Our congregations and churches are open for business collecting offerings.  It is a work day; however our work should be focused on our Father in Heaven, our congregation and family. These are the historical offerings and events that take place on this day of the week:

• Feast of First Fruit (Wave Sheaf) offering (Lev 7:30)
• Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) offering (Deu 16:10)
• New Wine Offering (Dead  Sea Scrolls)
• New Oil Offering (Dead  Sea Scrolls)
• Wood Offering (Dead  Sea Scrolls)
• Feast of Purim food offering & offerings left at the graves of their ancestors
• The ‘Lord Super’, the breaking of bread together and giving thanks after confessing our sins. Each family would have contributed an offering of food for the meal.  (Didache see above)  It is the traditional family Sunday dinner.
• Work, chores and other responsibilities for the day. 

Monday is the 2^nd day of the week and is considered a work day.  It is a day for the following:

• Work, chores and other responsibilities for the day. 
• Jesus’ ‘Last Super’ was on this day.  Jesus and the apostles did perform their required responsibilities in preparation for Passover to be the following day. (Luke 22:9)

Tuesday is the 3^rd day of the week and it is considered a work day.  It is for the following:

• Work, chores and other responsibilities for the day. 
• The Passover feast is on a work day since it is a day of work preparing for Passover dinner and to prepare for the feast of Unleavened bread to be held the following day.   The Passover feast is not a feast of joy; therefore is not held on a Wednesday.  The Passover feast is to be eaten with bitter herbs so that we remember our bitter experience as slaves in Egypt. (Exo 12:8)  Now it is a day to remember that Christ was killed on Passover which was also a bitter experience when he became the Passover lamb.

Wednesday is the 4^th day of the week and it is considered a work day.  This is the day the sun, moon, and stars were created.  This is the day that time began when the earth started rotating around the sun.  The quarterly seasons are celebrated on this day as the celebration of creating the solar system and time.  This is a work day however festivals of joy and gladness also occur on this day.  Festivals (feast days) are held on a work day since lots of work goes into cooking a big meal and other activities of celebration.  Offerings for feast day are also performed on this day.  Many congregations and churches still have an evening service on this day.

Conclusion

Our Father in Heaven used the seven day week documented in Genesis chapter one over 7500 years before present.   The book of Jubilees tracks time all the way back to Adam using the week and year in cycles of seven.

The process of tracking the seven day week and years were given to Moses about 3450 years before present.  We can see proof that they tracked weeks for Feast of Weeks, the priestly courses and time in the book of Jubilees.

The Christian tradition of Kyriakí or the Lord ’s Day dates back to almost 2000 years ago when Mary found the Jesus’ tomb empty.  Therefore, this is a long established tradition to track weekly cycles of seven.  So it is very possible that the seven day week cycle was never broken.

This is why I believe that when using an Enoch or Jubilees calendar to track feast days it is very important the first day of the first Month of Abib must be a Wednesday.  The sun was created on the fourth day which is Wednesday on our current calendar.  When you put the first day of Abib on a Wednesday all of your calendar dates will be correctly placed and you will not have any conflicts with scripture.  This will ensure that Jesus’ resurrection celebration always falls on a Sunday which is the first day of the week. Both the book of Jubilees and Enoch concur that a year has 52 weeks.
