Calendars/Enoch/Arguments to support
The two bloodlines of our Messiah
We know that EHYEHshua was of Aaronite Levite High Priest bloodlines and also of the royal House of David and Shealtiel is listed in His genealogy records.
We also suspect He was born during the FOT since now we have better understanding of YHWH's appointed times.
God gave us clues to His calendar
How awesome YHWH is!!! All throughout the Old Testament (TaNaK in Hebrew) there are countless mentions of certain days and months and even years. For the sake of this study we focus on days and months. Paul said:
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
There is a reason why these days and months are mentioned.
What about the possibility that on the 24th day of the 9th month, that this would be when the Messiah would be conceived. That on this day, Miriam was visited by the Ruach HaKodesh and she became impregnated with EHYEHshua.
I don't know if this is right, but could not take my eyes from it!!! YOU be the judge and read for yourselves. I've bolded and underlined what I believe to be crucial clues. I have included comments after certain verses also.
Hag 1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, ((these two men, being of the two most crucial bloodlines of Judah and Levi (also being of Aaronite descent). These two bloodlines will come together in marriage to allow for EHYEHshua to legally and lawfully claim the rights to King and High Priest.)
Genealogical charts and the WORD itself is written witness that these two; EHYEHshua and JOHN were indeed cousins and so blood related)) [In the 400th Anniversary Edition of the KJV1611, there is a Genealogy chart which shows the two lines of Aaron and Judah coming together through Shealtiel and Zerubbabel, but more evidence is found even further back:
Exo 6:23 And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. (Nahshon was a chief prince of Judah as mentioned in Numbers, Ruth and 1 Chronicles)]
Hag 1:12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
Hag 1:13 Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
Hag 1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
Can we see whereby YHWH would indeed be at work doing Holy and Divine things on His Sabbath? According to how the Enoch calendar is laid out, the 24th day of the 6th month, falls also on a weekly sabbath day, that is Saturday to us.
Here is another important Sabbath day accounting:
Hag 2:1 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:
How fitting this message should come on the last day, the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the day before the Great 8th day Feast:
Hag 2:2 'Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:
Hag 2:4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work; for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts.
Hag 2:5 The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye not.
Hag 2:6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Hag 2:7 and I will shake all nations, and the choicest things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
Hag 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the LORD of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.'
The Glory of this latter House....could it be YHWH is not speaking of a building here, but the living temple (body)of EHYEHshua and the living stones that will come after He arrives, the living stones (us!!)?? Those will be fashioned away from the temple JUST the same as the stones that Solomon had cut for the temple were not cut on the premises, but AWAY from the site!! (see the study “Living Stones and Earthen Vessels”)
Hag 2:10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:
24th day of the 9th month...what? This does not seem relevant to YHWH's feast days, does it??? Yet counting from that day, (( this 24th day of the 9th month is the Enoch reckoning and coincides with roughly early December as we know it to be)) counting out 40 weeks (time of gestation) brings us to the time of the Feast Of Tabernacles!!!! Not only that, but this day, the four and twentieth day of the ninth month will ALWAYS fall on a Sabbath day, that is according to the reckoning of the Enoch calendar and how it works.
BACKWARD(Hag 2:15)then (24th day of 9th month) then FORWARD (Hag 2:18)
In these verses there is a precise separation and distinction made in order to bring full attention to this particular day.
2:15 - And now take thought, from this day backward: As long as no stone had been laid on another in the House of YHWH(JPS has "the LORD").....JPS Translation
This appears to bring to more clarity what YHWH is saying here in that this 24th day of the 9th month stands to divide the time BEFORE it and the time AFTER it, showing that YHWH intended here to make sure, to make certain when reading these words, we would understand FULLY what this day is all about. Sadly, most English translations use the word FORWARD for this verse and it appears to change the understanding and to take away the emphasis, so that it would easily be missed.)( If this seems unclear, consider the past tense form of the words that come AFTER:: "BEFORE a stone WAS LAID upon a stone..."
** This (word used)BACKWARD can also be found in the following translations:
Geneva Bible, American Standard Version (ASV),Brenton (v 2:16).
Let it be submitted that all the other translations have altered the placement and have worded it so badly as to make the true understanding completely missed.
When we know the truth of these verses in their sequence a pattern evolves that shows a clear distinction of this 24th day of the 9th month. A singling out of this day which is supposed to alert the student of its significance.
Truly, the author of this work would never have found this had they not been studying from various translations.
Hag 2:18 consider, I pray you, from this day and forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it;
FROM THIS DAY and FORWARD, that is the 24th day of the 9th month
Hebrew Idiom or euphemism for conception?
The seed (seminal fluid carries; Sheminal> Shem> Oil > Light; This is the Holy Spirit carrying the Light of Life)
The barn (repository, place to store and keep safe the Living Bread (grain is stored in a barn)
Hag 2:19 is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree hath not brought forth - from this day will I bless you.'
H4035 "barn"
מגוּרה
megûrâh
meg-oo-raw'
Feminine of H4032 or of H4033; a fright; also a granary: - barn, fear.
What is the "barn" alluding to? Is this another hidden meaning? Is it another Hebrew Idiom or Hebraism? Why is the "feminine form" used here? (speaking of Mary???) Let's look at the other word definitions it refers to, mainly the second one:
H4033
מגר מגוּר
mâgûr mâgûr
maw-goor', maw-goor'
From H1481 in the sense of lodging; a temporary abode; by extension a permanent residence: - dwelling, pilgrimage, where sojourn, be a stranger. Compare H4032.
Focus on the phrase in H4033 that is bolded and underlined.
"A temporary abode" is just another way of saying a booth, as in Succoth. A tabernacle. A temporary wandering dwelling in the wilderness. EHYEHshua came to "tabernacle" among us.
The seed yet in the barn (allusion to the seed of the Holy Spirit?? Consider that the child in the womb of Elizabeth leaped for joy when Miriam entered the house and of course also the Holy Spirit overshadowing upon Miriam) then--- "from this day will I bless you"
Is the seed yet in the barn ------ yet another way to say that the actual seminal seed that is to be EHYEHshua, has already been planted.
Knowing that it is Mary's seed and she is also of these same bloodlines. This is another study by itself and too long to be included here.
More on Haggai 2:18:
Hag 2:18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth, from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it.
Could we yet consider this date that declares it the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid has more than one meaning??? It is the literal physical building, the temple but also the temple (tabernacle) of the body of the LORD Jesus, the foundation being laid (conceived in the womb)!!!
Recall how Jesus referred to His own body:
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But he spake of the temple (tabernacle) of his body.
So how do we know that we can call the body a tabernacle?? Consider these verses as our guide:
2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
2Pe 1:13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
2Pe 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
Hag 2:20 And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
OKAY!!!! Now, another mention of 24th day, of 9th month!!!! Do you think YHWH might be giving us a clue yet??!!!
Hag 2:21 'Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will shake the heavens and the earth;
Hag 2:22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Pretty safe to say that the impending birth of EHYEHshua would indeed shake kingdoms and overthrow them!!!!
Hag 2:23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.'
In that day, the 24th day of the 9th month (that is), the seed yet in the barn of Zerubabbel, son of Shealtiel, will be made as a signet, a sign unto us, for YHWH chose THAT bloodline to bring forth the offshoot of Jesse, the Branch that brings redemption!!!
ALSO----the 24th day of the 9th month is another day that is a Sabbath day! This again, by the reckoning of how the Enoch calendar works. That is to say, if one is willing to receive this, that the Enoch calendar is viable and does work, not breaking the ever faithful repeating weekly pattern of unchanging Sabbath days.
Here's more!!
Zec 4:5 Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.'
Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying: 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zec 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? thou shalt become a plain; and he ((Zerubabbel that is) shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.'
Zec 4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Zec 4:9 'The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
These last words seem to be EHYEHshua speaking to us.
Here is a second confirmation:
Excerpt from BritAm 2174>>>>>>>
Hanukkah yes, but what about Kislev 24?
by Dr James Tabor
http://jamestabor.com/2012/12/08/hanukkah-yes-but-what-about-kislev-24/
Extracts:
You can find the colorful and bloody story in 1
Maccabees 1-4, a book included in Catholic Bibles
but referred to by Protestants as part of the
“Apocrypha.” If you don’t have a copy around it
is readily available on-line at apocrypha.org and
is well worth reading. The festival itself, which
lasts eight days, is a celebration of the
“cleansing” and rededication of the Jewish Temple
in 165 BCE when the forces lead by the family of
Judas Maccabee (“the Hammer”) recaptured
Jerusalem and removed the pagan altar and other
“abominations” that Antiochus had instituted in
an effort to stamp out worship of the Jewish God Yehovah (see 1 Macc. 4:59).
... What is altogether fascinating is a much
earlier and little known biblical reference to a
different but very related date–Kislev 24 on the
Jewish calendar–which is today, Saturday,
December 8th this year. This, of course, is one
day before the Hanukkah celebration, but the
reference can be precisely dated to 520 BCE–over
350 years before the Maccabean victory. I refer
here to the book of the Prophet Haggai.
... Both Haggai and Zechariah address their
contemporary situation, as one would expect, and
are concerned that the Temple be rebuilt and the
city-state of Judea be restored to limited
sovereignty after the Babylonian destruction in
586 BCE. However, if read carefully, both
clearly understand that this restoration of Judah
is only a preliminary, even symbolic step, to a
coming great restoration of Judah and all
Israel–including the so-called “Lost Tribes.”
The book of Haggai is sequential; ...
The precise date Kislev 24 is mentioned four
times in the second chapter, verses 10, 15, 18
and 20. Twice it is emphasized that “from this
day forward I will bless you, ... the message is
basically that Yehovah will “shake the heavens
and the earth and all nations” overthrowing their
power, after which He will anoint the chosen one
of the line of David (symbolized in that day by
Zerubbabel), and essentially make Jerusalem the
new world capital. This entire prophetic agenda
to which Haggai alludes is laid out in great
detail in the pre-Exilic Prophets, see
particularly Isaiah 2:1-4; Jeremiah 3:14-18; 23:5-8; Micah 5:2-5).
This message is addressed to the two “Messiahs,”
the Priest and the “King” or Governor, Joshua and
Zerubbabel, respectively (2:4-5). They become
“signifiers” of things to come. They are not the final anointed ones...
Fast forward to Sunday, December 9, 1917. General
Allenby, leading the British forces (remember
Lawrence of Arabia), liberated Jerusalem for the
first time in centuries from Turkish/Muslim rule.
By the morning of December 9th Turkish forces had
fled the city and the governor Izzat Pasha fled
in a horse drawn carriage borrowed from the
American Colony hotel – leaving behind a note of
surrender. The date on the Jewish calendar–you guessed it: Kislev 24. ...

Update 4 February, 2017 –
Page 252 of Michael S. Heiser’s book “The Unseen Realm”.
Footnote #11 on page 352:
Third line down quoting: “He is known as the son of Shealtiel (3:2 et al.) who was Jehoiachin’s eldest son. But the Hebrew text of 1 Chron 3:19 makes Zerubbabel the son of Pedaiah , who was a younger brother of Shealtiel. If this is the true text, it implies a levirate marriage of Pedaiah to the widow of Shealtiel, whereby the firstborn was reckoned as Shealtiel’s to keep the family name in being (cf. Deut 25:5f.; Ruth 4:10). As Shealtiel’s heir, he would be first in line for the throne.”

Replies
This morning while studying in Luke chapters 1 and 2 it became apparent that in this work I put together, some errors were made. Tyhere are changes that need to be made to this study with regard to any meniton of John and being connected with the 6th month. This morning I found in Luke where it is wirtten that Gabriel visited Mary in the 6th month to give her the message about what would take place.
The main thrust of this study is still intact.
Also there is a specific Hebrew word, feminine that refers to a "barn". I have yet to add this and it is crucial to the whole message here.
The other thing is giving the 9th month the name of Chisleu. It is Babylonian in origin and God specifically only refers to numbers of months, not by names. This to is important to know the distinction of anything that God put in place, it will be numbered, not named with reference to days, weeks, months and years.
If anyone reads this work and comments and has any quesitons, please email me. Thank you and Shalom.
