The New Jerusalem Calendar

Calendars/Enoch/ArgtoSupp
The calendar became a focus beginning in 2009 when our family stepped into keeping the feast days. At that time with the understanding that Judaism was keeping it, we went along with their times according to their calendar system. It caused anxiety from month to month, having to either wait to know or trying to take off for days in the middle of the week, but it was all we had.
In 2010 a certain controversial “rabbi” was teaching a solar/lunar calendar system whereby each new lunar month also caused a readjustment of which day was the 7th day Sabbath. He presented arguments based upon certain scriptures and so made a convincing case and we decided to try it. All I can say is that too was causing angst and (for me) it felt like taking a shower and putting back on the clothes I had worn before taking a shower. We abandoned it and went back to the Sabbath of god found in Genesis.
At about the same time, another person I knew who was also trying to find out more about the calendar jumped onboard with the solar/lunar calendar and we pretty much parted ways after that.
After our S/L attempt, I went back into the book of Enoch and studied the chapter about the calendar and because of traditions seared into my brain and listening to others who have decided they have figured it out, I was unable to reconcile anything and it was giving me a headache. I left it alone for a couple of years.
In the spring of 2012, receiving yet another newsletter, this one from someone else who was trying and teaching the Enoch calendar (but doing so by improper placement of the intercalary days). I read it through and one thing struck me, but it did not fall into place until weeks after. He had made a comment about how the Spring EQ would occur on a particular Sabbath giving us a perfect year (In his opinion) by which an adjustment could be made to calculate out and know the exact times of the months and feast days. I filed it away.
Later that same year, in November, on one particular Sabbath morning, I was looking for a book that I was going to use to help me put another topic of study together. As I was searching through a stack of books looking for it, I came across my copy of Enoch and picked it up and began riffling through the pages and found myself in the chapter on the calendar. As I was reading, something snapped in my head and the light came on and the epiphany, the order of it was revealed.
Now let me back up a little and explain some things. When we first began this journey (by keeping Sabbath first) in 2006, we came under immediate heavy, very heavy spiritual attack from all directions. My husband was quite put out by this and was argumentative and combative, but he gave in reluctantly just to please me.
You know how you can just feel the antagonistic energy of one who is not aligned with you. He was raised Baptist so had that tradition which kept him from fully embracing and whenever we would read scripture, he would ask questions and challenge on every point. Trying to keep the biblical feasts on the Jewish calendar was also a point of contention with him.
This brings us back to that November Sabbath morning. He was sitting across from me and when this epiphany hit me, I began to explain it to him and he never challenged me on it and I could see in his eyes he was on track with what I was explaining to him.
I began by laying it out on graph paper and it was tedious at best and by the after noon It was really falling into place as I had progressed in laying it out and it was working perfectly, but again, it was tedious work. My husband then suggested using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets to work it out. So here we are, he has gone from being argumentative and coming against what I’ve been trying to do for our family, to right onboard with complete and unquestioning support. THAT is a miracle in and of itself.
Once it was laid out, it was so easy to see how perfect and flawless it was. I was able to parallel the days with our current calendar system dating each day as it correlated to the Divine Year Calendar system. I forecast it out all the way through 2018.
As a result of taking it out that far, it was becoming readily apparent that a shift was taking place and the conflict was trying to work 364 days against our solar year of 365.25 and then the leap year making the shift and drift even worse. Eventually this would make the Spring Feast days end up in a month in which it would be way too early.
But for the time being, from that point in 2012, we began keeping it and I trusted that God would find a way to help correct or adjust at some point.
This brings us to 2017 and so we had five years in which to practice keeping it before things would get out of hand. During these five years, I pondered about the sun events. At first I lined up each of the four solar events with the four intercalary Sabbath days (the four which separate four sets of three months each). As a result, watching the days which “man” dated as solar events (solstices and equinoxes) some interesting things developed. The Spring EQ seemed to stay (relatively) on the same day of March 20th while the other solstices and fall EQ sort of “floated about” occurring on different DATES. It is important to distinguish the meanings, the difference of DATE vs. DAY. This then brought about more questions.
Also, during this time, using the new Enoch layout, I was able to answer many questions that had come up over the years of study prior to having the DYCAL to work from. Each time I would read Scripture, I noticed that specific days of specific months were mentioned always in a number. I knew they had to have significance, but up until having the calendar worked out, I had to just shelve the questions.
I made printouts of the calendar and kept it beside me as I studied and read. Whenever I came across these verses with reference to days and months, I bumped them against this calendar and some amazing things began to appear.
Topics of ongoing debate among scholars and bible study groups, arguments used by atheists and agnostics to discredit the Bible began to unfold with a clarity not seen before. Certain days and months mentioned, especially the days, pointed to miracles on the Sabbath and counting out from days mentioned helped to substantiate mysteries which became no longer obscured.
Still, we had the problem of the shift to deal with and the idea or concept of the intercalary Sabbaths being aligned with the solar events went by the wayside by reasoning that perhaps they aligned before the Flood and were no longer synched up. Also then considering that the sun’s events should be more in line with the pattern of Creation week ( By the standard of God and not man.). This was a tough nut to crack with the community of believers who were following teachers who were trying to calculate and lay out this calendar by incorrect placement of those 4 intercalary days.
If we consider the pattern of Creation week, we know that the sun and moon were created on the 4th day. By that we would consider that the sun would be in a state of equality (equal portions of day and night; the Equniox) and the moon would be in its full state (a full moon just as Adam was created in the fullness of his being, that is a full grown adult male). We now have markers, qualifiers that might meet the criteria needed to establish a week in which we could make this adjustment when the time came.
So then, looking to the month (in any year) on or about Spring. A week within that month whereby we have a full moon and a Spring EQ occurring together on the 4th day of the week, what we call Wednesday. We use that as our adjustment and the beauty of it is that we can correct without harm to the feast days because that first week begins on the Sunday (1st day of Creation) of the same week in which the sun and moon are in their full and equal state on a fourth day. This week then ends with a 7th day that falls perfectly on the Sabbath we already know and this means that Passover will align perfectly with the 14th day of the 1st month.
Now, having said all of this (I sure hope you are all still with me!!), brings us to a special celestial event in 2017. A lot of hype and chatter about what the September 23rd sign in the heavens might actually mean. For me, I didn’t really pay too much attention to it until that week in which it was supposed to take place.
Throughout my studies a growing conviction that the Voice of God must speak and declare His times, through His calendar, not man’s ideas about it. To calculate it using sun, or moon or stars (in the sense of them being looked for to begin the timing might be incorrect given that God did not create them until the 4th day.)
We have proof of God doing this in Genesis 1:1, Exodus 12:2 and John 1:1
This establishes His Way THREE TIMES.
If this is not enough, we might consider the warnings to Israel found in the verse below.
Deu 17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Deu 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Deu 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
Jer 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Job 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
Job 31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
Job 31:28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
God gave us instructions and warnings to heed, but most continue to listen to those who try to work it out using celestial bodies. While the signs in the heavens can be just that, they are not to be observed or sought after to the point of frenzy. God desires we LOOK to Him to begin.
Psa 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
We can CONSIDER them, perhaps contemplate the marvel and wonder, but we are not supposed to use them in any way.
Psa 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psa 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Psa 33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
God declared the beginning of all things and He gave us the sun, moon and stars for signs, seasons, days and years, NOT to declare a beginning under our own power, but to know when the sun completes a circuit, then by reason of we know a year has passed. As for the moon, not to declare a month by, but to know tides and times for planting and harvesting. For the stars as the Story, HisStory, to give us signs as He sees fit, not us.
The sign occurring on September 23rd, 2017 which is described in Revelation 12, so we could know His TIMES, his calendar, so if we know that His son was born on the 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles,
(Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth. )
Being then circumcised on the 8th day of Feast of Tabernacles, that 22nd day of the 7th month, we also call the Great Feast day.
Is it ANY coincidence that Jesus would be born on the FIRST day (patterned AFTER the Creation week)?
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created (et)*, the heaven and the earth.
*H853 Eleph Tau, the first and last letters of the Hebrew Elephbet, that is the entire WORD of God, that is written of in John 1:1)
Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
In fact, READ ALL of Proverbs 8 and KNOW it is all about Jesus!!
How can we miss this?? To be circumcised on the 8th day!! What comes after the millennial rest? The thousand years of Sabbath rest which AGAIN this too is patterned after the Creation week!
WHAT is 8??? It is the sign of INFINTY if turned on its side. Infinity meaning ETERNAL having no time.
The 8th day comes after the 7th day, we call Saturday then comes the 1st day of the week so a 1st day is also an 8th day, are we getting it yet beloveds????
By the amazing design of God, He gives us signs by the times of the birth of Jesus, by the times of His circumcision!!
He is a God of numbers!!!! LOOK to the numbers He gives us!!!
If I have diverted from the topic of this discussion, I apologize.
So then, this Divine Year Calendar that is outlined in the Book of Enoch, cannot be reconciled using the sun, or the moon as beginnings!!! Not as beginnings, but they do come together patterned AFTER the CREATION WEEK!! We can know it!!
The sign of September 23rd 2017. That Saturday, was according to calculations at that time, was going to be the 7th day of the 7th month (as I had reckoned it out).
Going back to the week leading up to it, on that Tuesday I felt a heaviness in spirit, a somber heavy feeling. I did not dismiss it, but I did take note of it.
Then on the 20th of September, being that Wednesday, hearing a man on TV say that this sign would be the beginning of birth pangs, it all clicked into place!
WHY was I heavy in spirit on that Tuesday? Because by this Divine Year calendar, it would have been (in the corrected time) the Day of Atonement.
The 9th day at even is always a Monday evening, going into Tuesday, making it that 10th day of the 7th month!!!
I was off by an entire 7 days!!! Which if a correction has to be made, it must be by exactly 7 days in order to maintain the integrity of the Sabbath framing!!
Anyone reading this might not understand because this calendar has yet to be taught correctly, so just as we take it by faith we are saved by Jesus atoning work on the cross, we must take it on faith here too.
All this time, from the beginning of understanding that took place in 2012, until now in this year of 2018, I had been puzzled as to how to reconcile this beautiful perfect flawless calendar system into the timing of the solar years of our earth. I was missing something key.
Since God is the only one who can declare the beginning (BY HIS VOICE) it stands to reason (by the warnings given) that the Children of Israel are not to follow the path of pagan nations in using sun, moon or stars as HE SAID in Deuteronomy:
Deu 4:19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, lest you should be driven to worship them and serve them, which Jehovah your God has allotted to all nations under all the heavens.
Deu 17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Deu 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Deu 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
THEN the only way this calendar could work at all, is if it is used and observed and kept in a place without sun or moon!
Here we go!!
Isa 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Isa 60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Those who keep are keeping all forms of calendars according to sun, moon or stars:
Deu 4:19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, lest you should be driven to worship them and serve them, which Jehovah your God has allotted to all nations under all the heavens.
The nations of the earth, they have been given the sun, moon and stars to worship if they desire. But the nation of Israel is NOT ALLOWED because YHWH Elohim is the center and focus of worship and in His kingdom, in his Holy city (New Jerusalem) and in His Temple and Court, there is no need for sun or moon because HE is the Light by which they live!!!
Deu 17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Deu 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Deu 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
Jer 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Job 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
Job 31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
Job 31:28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
Here is where the New Jerusalem Calendar will be in place, on earth as it is in Heaven!!!
Isa 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Isa 60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
(Rev 3:12 KJV) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
(Rev 21:2 KJV) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(Rev 21:10 KJV) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

The other thing accidently not included is this:
The Sept 23rd sign of 2017 which took place on the First Day of the FOTs we have shown could be a way for God to give us His timing for the year.
We could then, theoretically, begin a counting of a Divine year by this sign given (God's way of speaking to us as He is the singing in the stars!).
Having said that, counting out from that point and calculating into 2019, something amazing takes place:
In the Spring of March 2019 we find that there is indeed a week in which on the 4th day of that week (A Wednesday) we have a full moon and the Spring EQ taking place TOGETHER! And they do so not as a correction, but as part of the timing and counting we have done from the Sept 23rd sign of 2017!!!
It falls into place EXACTLY at the end of the 12th month of the previous Divine year, with the 30th day of the 12th month, taking place on Friday and the Sabbath Saturday that follows, this one being an intercalary Sabbath day, which renews the months, making the 1st day of the 1st month (this Creation week pattern) falling on what we call Sunday which clearly resets and renews and rebuilds and repairs the first month so that ALL of God's Appointed times are on the only CLEAN day of any week, that being the 7th day, that being what we determine as Friday at sundown, through Saturday at sundown!
I apologize for any possible confusion in this study. The question might arise, if this is for the new Jerusalem and no sun or moon is needed, why would we then determine a beginning with a full moon and vernal equinox occuring together on a given 4th day of a week in or around March? If it doesn't apply on earth per`se, why this?
If we are to observe it and practice it in order to understand how it works, we would use the earthly signs of the Creation week pattern to establish the first week of the first month. God isn't talking to us as He did Moses, so we have to think like God. What would God do? Wouldn't He follow His own patterns?
I should also note, forgot to add that the Sept 23rd event foretold of in Rev 12, while taking place on Saturday, was in the evening which would technically be the next day by biblical reckoning of when a day begins. So then, in keeping with the 1st day of the week, 1st day of FOTs.
Also, when we understand this calendar system as being used in Heaven where there is no time no sun or moon as is needed on earth because it is in the Eternal realms so when the end of a Divine year is reached (totalling 364days) it just picks up with another 364 day year without missing a beat. Being perpetual, not needing adjustments or corrections being perfect in its truest divine form.
