Overview
In c. 3238 BC, at the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) our Father
in Heaven made covenants with Noah after the flood had subsided. The covenant
or agreement was that the seasons would not cease.
“And
Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean
birds, and offered a whole burnt-offering upon the altar. And the Lord God
smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will
not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination
of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore
any more smite all living flesh as I have done. All the days of the earth, seed and
harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.”
Gen 8:20-22
Here are the definitions of the original Greek words used in the Septuagint that were promised not to cease:
·
Seed
is σπέρμα
(spérma) meaning seed or semen. Seed is to sow seed and can be either to
sow new plants or sow new offspring (child).
·
Harvest
is θερισμός
(therismós) reaping or harvest. Harvest is in autumn a time of reaping and
gathering.
·
Spring
is έαρ (éar) meaning spring and is synonyms with άνοιξη (ánoixi) which
also means spring. ánoixis
is dervide from the word opening.
As part of the covenant Noah and his descendants was
commanded by our Father in Heaven to multiply and fill the earth:
“And
God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill
the earth and have dominion over it.”
Gen 9:1
Here are the definitions of the original Greek words used in
the Septuagint that were used in this command:
·
Dominion
is κατακυριεύσατε
meaning overran. The English word
dominion means power or the
use of power; sovereignty over something; stewardship, supremacy.
Our Father in Heaven goes on to say that this covenant is to
last forever and that when we see a rainbow we are to remember this covenant:
“But do ye
increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over
it. And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying, And behold I
establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed after you, and with every living
creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the
earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark. And I will
establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the
water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all
the earth. And the Lord God said to Noe, This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every
living creature which is with you for perpetual generations. I set my bow in
the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen
in the cloud. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and
between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for
a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.” Gen 9:7-15
The book of Jubilees provides more information regarding the covenant that our Father in Heaven made with Noah and his descendants. It states Noah’s descendants were to celebrate the first day of the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth months which use to be the first day of the beginning of each season on the old Enoch calendar. These are celebrations based on the sun’s position on earth.
“And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the first month,
and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth month,
and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the seventh month,
and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four
divisions of the year. These are written and ordained as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained
them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever, so that
they have become thereby a memorial unto him. And on the new moon [sic..
1st day] of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an
ark, and on that (day) the earth became dry and he opened (the ark) and saw the
earth. And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth
month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed. And on the new
moon [sic.. 1st day] of the seventh month all the mouths of the
abysses of the earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into them.
And on the new moon [sic.. 1st
day] of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was glad.
And on this account he ordained them for himself as feasts for a memorial for
ever, and thus are they ordained. And they placed them on the heavenly
tablets, each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial,
from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the
third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty
weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete. Thus it is
engraven and ordained on the heavenly tablets. And there is no neglecting (this commandment)
for a single year or from year to year. And
command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to
this reckoning-
three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a
complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its
feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and
they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts. But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to
His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be
dislodged from this (order),
[and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they
will neglect their ordinances. And all the children of Israel will forget and
will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and
seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years.
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. ” Jubilees 6:22-38
Note: Please see this article that
shows the words ‘new moon’ should not be in the text above and are a
translation error. http://kingdomhereamerica.blogspot.com/2016/02/noahs-flood-jubilees-calendar.html Our seasons are dictated by the circuit of
the sun and not the moon. The moons are
for signs only.
According to the
book of Jubilees, Enoch, and the Dead Sea Scrolls the old calendar was arranged
as shown below. The first day of the first,
forth, seventh, and tenth months were the first day of each season and quarter
of the year.

Our Father in Heaven
wanted us to celebrate the first day of each season to ensure that we keep
track of time accurately. Tracking time accurately
allows us to keep all his feast day on the correct date.
Tracking Time
Noah’s descendants implemented methods to track the sun,
moon and the stars based instructions received from Noah’s grandfather Enoch.
These instructions are documented in the book of Enoch and were given to
Enoch by the angel Uriel. The sun and stars are used for telling time. The moon is used as a sign and tool that also
helped ensure the calendar was correct since the
cycle of the moon repeats itself every three years as shown on the Dead Sea
Scroll calendar.
Noah’s descendants tracked the equinoxes and the solstices
since they occur at the end of each quarter. This was verification that the new
season or quarter would be starting.
They were not to actually celebrate the day of the equinox and solstices
these were just time keeping tools to ensure their calendar was correct. As stated above they were to celebrate the first
day of each quarter. I believe the
reason they were not to celebrate the equinoxes and solstice is because the
equinoxes occur on different dates around the world depending on where you
live. Today our calendars give the date
for the equinoxes and solstice based on universal time and not local time. This is also true for the new moon and full
moon dates on our printed calendar are also given based on universal time and
not local time.
So by viewing the table you can see why it would be correct
to observe the start of spring, summer, fall and winter festivals based on the
first day of each quarter since the calendar was intended for the entire world
calendar keeping system. All of Noah’s
descendants should celebrate the same day and they were told that their
dominion was the world in Jubilees above and in Genesis:
“And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of
heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep
on the earth.” Sep Gen 1:28
The variances of date and time of the equinoxes and solstice
have to do with the tilt of the earth sometimes called the circuit of the sun.
“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
The Enoch calendar given to Noah is based on the latitude of
the earth and the sun’s course is between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic
of Capricorn. The equator is the center
point of the sun’s course. Locations in
the extreme north or south experience the season differently than those on the
equator; therefore these extreme locations do not have equal
seasons of 91 days each described in the book of Enoch and the book of Jubilees
agrees stating 13 weeks for each season.
The circle on the Celtic cross represents the earth and the
inner circle represents the sun’s direct
impact of its rays shining on the earth between the Tropic of Cancer and
the Tropic of Capricorn. The Sun reaches
the observer's zenith when it is 90° above the horizon, and this only happens
between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. So the sun’s tabernacle is
between these two tropic lines and it where the sun runs its course. The cross itself represents the meridian and
the equator. If you place the cross on the equator the seasons are 91 days each
like Enoch said. There is a very ancient
astronomical observatory in Ecuador called Monte Catequilla where the
calculation is perfect and many believe this location is the true ‘middle of
the world’. The GPS location is 0°00'00.0"N
78°25'43.3"W. Monte Catequilla
has alignments
to the equinoxes and solstices.
Monte Catequilla is the true ‘middle of the earth’ for determining
the equinoxes and solstices since it meet these requirements: The equinoxes and solstices are on the 91st
day of each quarter and fall on a Tuesday.
The sun was created on the fourth day of the week, which is now called
Wednesday (Gen 1:16); therefore the 91st day of the first quarter would
fall on a Tuesday (see calendar below & DSS
calendar). The New Year must consistently
begin in the spring on a Wednesday so that the Sabbath day is on Saturday and so
the weekly cycle of seven days is never broken. Our Sabbath day must continue to be in
agreement with our Father in Heavens Sabbath day which is the seventh day (Gen
2:1-3). According to the Dead Sea Scroll
Temple Calendar on the first day of the year (first day of spring), every third
year, there must be a full moon and on March 20, 2019 there will be a full moon
(DSS,
lunar cycle 1)
Below shows how the earth spin making the sun’s zenith
change during the year.
Today we define a year by the earth’s orbit around the sun
which is called a topical year. When the
year makes one complete orbit around the sun and gets back to it starting
position that is called a tropical year and that takes 365.25 days. Enoch’s year was based on the sun’s position
on the equator. When the sun reaches its
zenith on the equator during March a new year of 364 days begins.
Ancient Time Tracking Tools
Noah’s descendants invented the ancient staff and cross to
measure angles of the sun, moon and stars to ensure their calendar was correct
so that they celebrated the feast days on the correct dates.
During biblical times they used a staff to identify cardinal
directions using the sun and stars similar to how we use a compass today. Here are a few examples.
Jacob Israel had a staff which he brought with him as he
crossed the Jordan River:
“And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O
Lord, thou art he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of thy birth, and
I will do thee good. Let there be to
me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which thou hast wrought
with thy servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am
become two camps.” Sep Gen 32:9-10
“By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph;
and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.” ASV Hebrews 11:21
Judah had a staff:
“And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I
am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is
this ring and bracelet and staff.” Sep Gen 38:25
King David found comfort by owning a staff:
“Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will
not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff,
these have comforted me.” Sep Psa 23:4
Jesus tells the apostles to not take their staff when he
sent them out to preach the gospel:
“And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority
over all demons, and to cure diseases. And he sent them forth to preach the
kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for
your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money;
neither have two coats.” ASV Luke 9:1-3
The Greeks had an ancient computer they developed to compute
the motion of astronomical positions
and eclipses for calendar and astrological uses called
the Antikythera
mechanism. It was found on the
bottom of the ocean as part of a ship wreck. They believe that it is dated to about 100
BC. This mechanism also had the names of
the constellation on it. It had the ability to tell time based on the sun, moon
and stars.
The children of Noah built precise time tracking mounds and
hieroglyphs to track the angle of the sun in relationship to the earth.
Chaco Canyon is only a 3 hour drive away from the Los Lunas stone
which reflects the 10 commandments in Paleo-Hebrew. This 10
commandment stone is the oldest in the world and it does have a spiral hieroglyph
next to it.
Only the
Children of Noah would have cared about precise time tracking to ensure their
feast days were on the correct dates.
The Sidereal Day verses the Tropical Day
Noah’s descendants’ tracked time based upon a sidereal day not a
tropical day. Here are the definitions
of each:
Sidereal Day
A measurement of time relative to the position of
the stars and relating to a measurement of time relative to the
point of the vernal equinox. A sidereal day is
approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes.
Topical Day
The Tropical Day is based on the Topical Year of 365.25
day. A civil day is used that starts midnight:
this is near the time of the lower culmination of the Sun on the
central meridian of the time zone. Such a day may be referred to as a calendar
day. A day is commonly divided into 24 hours of 60 minutes, with each minute
composed of 60 seconds.
Difference
The time difference between a sidereal day and civil day is
24 hours.
·
The civil day is 4 minutes longer than a sidereal
day. 4 minutes x 364 equals 1456 minutes
a year. 1456 minutes divided by 60
minutes equals 24.26 hours.
·
The civil day is 4 minutes longer than a sidereal
day. 4 minutes x 365 equals 1460 minutes
a year. 1460 minutes divided by 60
minutes equals 24.33 hours.
Wheel of the Year
The Celtic people had a sun cross that was also called the
Celtic cross that was used to tell time and cardinal directions as discussed
above. Plus they also had the ‘Wheel of
the Year’ that reflected the calendar they used. These ‘Wheel of the Year’ calendars were
also established on the ground to track the sun’s movement and the time of the
year. In North America they are called
Medicine Wheels and in Europe they are called a Stonehenge’s. All of these could track time based on the
position of the sun and stars. Some also tracked the moon.
The Medicine Wheels and Stonehenge’s of the world are
further proof that Noah’s descendants knew how to track time very early and
built monuments to prove it. The Majorville
Cairn and Medicine Wheel site in Alberta Canada dates all the way back to
3200 BC; therefore was built shortly after the Noah’s flood event.
The Celtic Wheel of the year is organized just like Enoch’s
calendar says it should be organized. It
has four equal quarters of the year representing the four seasons. It is
tracking the sun and the stars as described by Enoch.
Noah’s Descendants Quarterly Festivals
Noah’s descendants
did multiply and move to various places on the earth taking the old traditions
for the four quarterly festivals with them.
After establishing new homes, they also developed new traditions that
added to the old traditions. From the
book of Jubilees (above), here is the original days that were to be celebrated
based on the events of Noah’s flood:
[sic..
1st day] of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an ark, and
on that (day) the earth became dry and he opened (the ark) and saw the earth.
And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth month the mouths of the depths
of the abyss beneath were closed. And on the new moon [sic..
1st day] of the seventh month all the mouths of the abysses of the
earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into them. And on
the new moon [sic.. 1st
day] of the
tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was glad.
These dates may be of prophetical significance during the
tribulation and Jesus’ return:
The gathering of the grape harvest occurs in autumn when the
final harvest will occur and the expiration of sin. The grapes (sin: transgression of the law) will
be receding on earth just like the flood waters.
“And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and
he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in
thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth;
because the
grapes thereof are ripe. And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle
into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the
great press of the wrath of God: And the press was trodden without the city,
and blood came out of the press, up to the horses' bridles, for a thousand and
six hundred furlongs.” DR Rev
14:18-20
Sour grapes are a corrupted form of the laws of Moses:
“In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge: for every one shall die for his own
iniquity; every
man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.” Darby’s Jer 31:29-30
“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What is the meaning? That
you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have
eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge. As
I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in
Israel. Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul
of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die.” DR Eze 18:1-4
We are to take HIS words and eat them meaning thoroughly understand
HIS true words:
“And I went to the angel, saying
unto him, that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book,
and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth
it shall be sweet as honey. And I took the book from the hand of the angel, and
ate it up:
and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was
bitter.” DR Rev 10:9-10
Today we are told these are pagan festivals; however that just means rural people celebrated them. The old Latin definition just meant pertaining to people that lived in rural areas or in the countryside. The country people wanted to continue these festivals; however the Constantine did not want the country or pagan people to do so. The persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire began late during the reign of Constantine the Great, when he ordered the pillaging and the tearing down of some temples (about 328 AD). The first anti-pagan laws started with Constantine's son Constantius II. These festivals have been labeled pagan ever since. Today our new English definition the word pagan means heathen and some of the things done today at these festivals would be considered heathen since the festivals have been corrupted. People are continually worried about whether they should celebrate pagan festivals or not. The funny thing is that the word pagan is not in our bible. Our bibles do not give us any warning against pagans. Our bible does warn us about heathens though.
“Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of
Israel. Thus saith the Lord: Learn not according
to the ways of the Gentiles: and be not afraid of the signs of heaven,
which the heathens
fear.” DR Jer 10:1 [Gentile: from the Latin word
'gentilis' meaning from the same gens or family. Refers to Jacob Israel's descendants
that were scattered away due to misbehavior]
“They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was
afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit. And he
distinguished with his lips. They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord
spoke unto them. And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their
works.” DR Psalms 105:32-35
For dates of each of these four season festivals, please see this page. Holy Feast Days of Israel
Spring Festival & New Year’s Day
1st
day of the first month he
was bidden to make for himself an ark, and on that (day) the earth became dry
and he opened (the ark) and saw the earth.
Summer Festival
This is the time of the year that the days begin to get
shorter. The Summer Festival seems to be
held Memorial Weekend now. This time of
the year is a popular time for wedding which his honoring the agreement to
multiply. Traditionally picnics were
held. It was this day that the earth was filled with water during Noah’s
flood.
1st
day of the fourth month
the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed.
Fall Festival & Feast of Trumpets
The Fall Festival is to be held the same day as the Feast of
Trumpets. It was the day the flood
waters started descending; therefore, Noah’s situation on the ark was half over
at this time. It became the day to
remember the trumpet. We are to remember the trumpet and use it at the
beginning of Holy Days plus to call out to our Father in Heaven during times of
war. It also marks the time when the
final harvest of the year will be performed. Today we celebrate Labor Day instead of this
important festival.
1st
day of the seventh month
all the mouths of the abysses of the earth were opened, and the waters began to
descend into them. Jubilees
Winter Festival
This is the
time of year that the days begin to become longer. The only trees bearing leaves are the
evergreen trees which was a symbol of life.
This was a time for bonfires to keep warm. The traditions for this festival later became
part of the Feast
of the Dedication (also called the Festival of Lights or Saturnalia)
celebration and then later merged with our Christmas traditions. In Germany this festival was called
Yule. This is when Noah could finally
see the top of the mountains was glad.
1st
day of the tenth month
the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was glad.
Conclusion
These were important festivals that should have been kept to
that we would remember to keep the correct calendar. According to Jubilees (above) it was
important to keep the dates so that our festivals would not be considered unclean. Plus it would have helped us to remember the
history of our people and the importance place on fertility and keeping Noah’s
seed alive and strong. Next time you see
the rainbow remembers our Father in Heaven’s covenant made with Noah that the
seasons will always stay in place just as they were designed. It is our incorrect calendar that we use
today is the issue. It is adding days
and we are losing time as Enoch stated in Chapter 79:
“In those days Uriel answered and said to me, Behold, I have showed thee
all things, O Enoch; And all things have
I revealed to thee. Thou seest the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the
stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to
return. In
the days of sinners the years shall be shortened. Their seed shall be backward in their
prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted,
and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall
stand still. In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not
flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be
withholden. The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper
period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place
in the borders of the great chariots in the west. Heaven shall shine more than
when illuminated by the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of
authority shall err, perverting their ways and works. Those shall not appear in their season, who
command them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against
sinners. The thoughts of those who dwell on earth shall transgress
within them; and they shall be perverted in all their ways. They shall
transgress, and think themselves gods; while evil shall be multiplied among
them. And punishment shall come upon them, so
that all of them shall be destroyed.” Enoch 79
The table below shows how the old
Julian calendar date compares to our current date on the Gregorian calendar. The Julian calendar looked more like the
Enoch calendar and was more accurate. Today astronomers
still use the Julian calendar because it more accurate. When our calendar says it is March 1st
it is really February 17th . Today we are told it is climate change.

In traditional cultures and in antiquity other epochs were used. In ancient
Egypt days were reckoned from sunrise to sunrise, following a morning epoch.
This may be related to the fact that the Egyptians regulated their year by
the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, a
phenomenon which occurs in the morning just before dawn.
