Solar Calendar (obsolete)

Note:  I have created a new page regarding the Solar Calendar with more pictures of how it works.  See this page:  Solar Calendar by Enoch


Our God made appointed times that are called feast days that we are to celebrate.  However our calendar has been changed several times, making it hard to determine when the feast days actually are. The feast day schedule on this site is based on the solar calendar since there is no proof in the bible that the Hebrew calendar was lunar.  Currently the US uses a lunisolar calendar which is based on using the sun and the moon to identify appointed times.

A lot of people want to use the moon to identify appointed times based on Genesis 1:16, however, the moon is not mentioned but they think it is implied.  The moon only reflects light and is visible during the day at times.  So the moon cannot determine the night if it is visible during the day at times.  The real implication is that the stars rule the night.  The stars show their light only at night and are never visible during the day. In Genesis 1:14 the Hebrew word used for seasons is moed, which means appointed time, place, or meeting.  Here are four translations of Genesis 1:14-18:

Young’s Literal Translation:

14 And God saith, `Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:'and it is so. 16 And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary-- and the stars-- for the rule of the night; 17 and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;

World English Version:

14 God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth," and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

English Standard Version:

14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

King James Version. In this version ‘he made’ is in italics so that means they inserted these words.  So read this version and omit the words ‘he made’.:

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth:and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

 Also see http://biblehub.com/lexicon/genesis/1-16.htm where it is shown the words 'he made' and 'also' were not part of the original Hebrew text.

Here are the reasons I agree with the solar calendar:

·         Nowhere in the bible does it reflect that the Hebrews went outside to sight the new crescent moon.
·         Nowhere in the bible does it mention a 13th month which is required for a lunar calendar.
·         The Hebrews and Israelites were farmers and it would be hard to determine the planting and harvesting times based on a lunar calendar.
·         The laws for keeping the feast days do not mention there must be a crescent or full moon before they occur.
·         The Hebrew word 2320 Chodesh was translated as moon in Ezekiel 46:1, Amos 8:5, and 2 Kings 4:23 – Chodesh is used 283 times in the Old Testament and only 26 times was it used for the word ‘moon’ – the other 257 times chodesh meant ‘month’.  So the word chodesh really means month and it was translated as moon in error. The same for Col 2:6 the Greek work used is normally month and not moon.  So using these verses as proof of a lunar calendar is really not proof.  You can use http://biblehub.com/ to determine the Greek or Hebrew word used in a translation.  Just search for the verse you want to translate and then click on Lexicon.
·         The Book of Enoch describes the use of a solar calendar.
·         The Jews based their Passover on a lunar calendar.  The New Testaments reflects that Jesus, a Judahite, and his Israelite Apostles held their Passover dinner on a different day than the Jews.

Daniel prophesied the calendar would change and it did.  The 4th Beast, which was Rome, changed our calendar.

Daniel 7:25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

The Day


Our God, Yahweh, intended the day to start at sunset. Notice that evening is mentioned first in these scriptures:

Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Genesis 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

In this verse, they are closing the gates at sundown in preparation for the Sabbath day since the Sabbath started in the evening.

Neh 13:19 And it cometh to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem have been dark before the sabbath, that I speak, and the doors are shut, and I say, that they do not open them till after the sabbath; and of my servants I have stationed at the gates; there doth not come in a burden on the sabbath- day.

So the feast days start in the evening and end the next sunset.

New Year


Based on Exodus 12:1, we know that the new year started in Abib, the same month as Passover.

Exodus 12:1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 "This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. 3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers 'houses, a lamb for a household. [scripture goes on to give instruction for the Passover feast]

It is thought that the word ‘Abib’ actually means Equinox.  See this page for more information:  http://www.anglo-saxonisrael.com/content/yahweh%E2%80%99s-solar-calendar

Therefore, it is thought that the new year starts on the spring equinox that is on March 20th in 2014.


It is interesting to note that the signs of the Zodiac start with Aries on March 21st.  The Zodiac signs go way back in time and are based on the observation of the stars.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac (The signs of the Stars or Zodiac were never intended to tell our fortune.)  Here is what Wikipedia reflects: 

Knowledge of the Babylonian zodiac is also reflected in the Hebrew Bible. E. W. Bullinger interpreted the creatures appearing in the books of Ezekiel and Revelation as the middle signs of the four quarters of the Zodiac,[14][15] with the Lion as Leo, the Bull is Taurus, the Man representing Aquarius and the Eagle representing Scorpio.[16] Some authors have linked the twelve tribes of Israel with the twelve signs. Martin and others have argued that the arrangement of the tribes around the Tabernacle (reported in the Book of Numbers) corresponded to the order of the Zodiac, with Judah, Reuben, Ephraim, and Dan representing the middle signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio, respectively.[17][18] Such connections were taken up by Thomas Mann, who in his novel Joseph and His Brothers attributes characteristics of a sign of the zodiac to each tribe in his rendition of the Blessing of Jacob.

Here is an interesting youtube video based on the Zodiac that reflects Jesus’ birth on Sept 11th in 3 BC:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNVlYCiCCv8

The Sabbath

We all know that we must observe the Sabbath.  The laws for keeping the Sabbath come from the same books of the bible where Moses, a Levite, documented the rules for keeping the Feast Days.  Here are the laws for keeping the Sabbath:


Exodus 20 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Lev 23:3 "Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation [Hebrew 4744 also shown as assembly, from Hebrew 7121 to call, to call together]. You shall do no work. It is a Sabbath to the Lord in all your dwelling places.

The law states that it is a day of rest and that we should assemble.  It does not state we should go to church.  Church is a mistranslation for the words:  assemble, congregation and call together. Therefore, we should assemble together and review Yahweh's word on the Sabbath.  We could assemble as a family or group of neighbors.
