Advancements in calendar research
and the Holy Bible announce a new
discovery. The Begat Genealogy of
Adam in chapter 5 of Genesis
measures time according to ancient lunar/solar calendars. Long ago, the Lord embedded His message of lunar/solar calendar use within the
earliest scriptures of the Bible. The moon and sun were the heavenly time
keepers for the very ancients.
Observation was the only way to determine a calendar. The Creative Week helped plant early seeds of
faith. Scriptures record the oldest
calendar patterns. To the immemorial
ones of antiquity, the keys of time unlocked the doors to the spirit and soul,
and to eternal life and death. Operation
of the calendar is the most precious eternal wisdom that mankind will ever
grasp.
God's eternal time is the heavenly realm. Calendars are the human way to measure portions
of God's eternity. Days, weeks, months, and years are all
components of the calendar. Time builds
to longer periods that usually involve multiples of years. A 10-year decade is a multiple of ten
years. The 100-year century and the
1000-year millennium are larger multiples of years. Our modern year is a solar year with almost
365 and one-fourth days per year. We
measure the year by watching the sun's position against the stars. If you have ever missed an appointment or
arranged schedules, you know what a precise calendar means to us. General agreement unites people who use the
same version of the calendar.
Very early people applied these
same time concepts to their calendar.
They used two luminaries in the Bible,
namely the sun and moon. The greater
luminary was of course, the sun. The
sun's daytime position was sited to the horizon to mark the solar year. Nighttime phases of the moon marked the other
half of lunar/solar time. Solar and
lunar chronology lasts forever. Calendar
arithmetic is crucial to understanding time reckoning patterns. Essential intercalary time was added in the
form of lunar/solar separation time in this work. The original, simple lunar/solar calendar
system grew for multiples of years, hundreds of years and even thousands of
years. The Creative Week begins the
calendar and the age of Judeo-Christianity.
Imagine the spiritual insights of our Patriarchs. The greatest achievements, civilizations,
kings, floods, joys, famines, wars, fears and tears would all come and go. My God,
humanity is marvelous and unknown.
The grandeur of lunar/solar time
reckoning unfolds before us. The
earliest Bible followers required
astronomy, mathematics and communication skills necessary to transfer such
astonishing information down through the society. Tremendous layers, or steps, of time
increment the lunar/solar sequence. Ages
recorded for Adam and his descendants highlight a very sophisticated culture. An epic time scale of these proportions
suggests a people with remarkable abilities.
Present viewpoints diminish the abilities of prehistoric humans. Biblical stories and mythology lend new
appreciation involving religious ideals.
An evolved social structure persevered to maintain the lunar/solar
calendar system. Early humanity was
endowed with comprehension and aptitude equal to modern people. The calendar is a door to the awesome power
of the Lord.
Ancient calendars provide the tools we need to
reconstruct this early calendar system of Genesis. The three oldest known calendars furnish
lunar/solar reckoning insights. The
Jewish Calendar, the Egyptian Calendar and the ancient Sun Kingdoms' Calendars
of the Americas contribute variations in time parameters. Time cycles are a necessary calendar focal
point. However, discussion may imply
names and meanings outside traditional creeds.
Pursuant research should not be misconstrued. Fragmentary evidence from other calendar
systems, such as the calendar of Enoch, seventh descendant from Adam is incorporated. We will be using other sacred texts, like the
Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Jubilees and information from various Hebrew
Encyclopedias. We will penetrate to the
past extreme.
Calendar knowledge is sacred ground
to the Lord. Readers should conform to study this material
with a reverent posture. We seek a
closer walk with God rather than
transgress with impiety in our hearts.
Our learning objectives embrace multicultural faiths. Ancient calendars of the Holy Bible
center lunar/solar time analysis upon Judeo-Christian teachings.
People long ago knew calendar
secrets lead to the supernatural.
Spiritual borders were crossed every time a Sabbath or holiday was
observed. Active worship enhanced the
speed and efficiency of prayer calling.
Time projections were designed to achieve results. Early religion and calendar rituals were
united. Priests and astronomers once
shared the class of religious elect.
They created futures for social benefit.
Responsibility for controlling information was the hallmark of the
elders.
Privileged groups including
royalty and Shaman priests performed cultural steering according to ceremonies
marked by the agricultural calendar.
Offerings and sacrifices were integrated with festivals. Superstitions, prophecies and visions had
significance. Ancient religion tended to
wrap calendar secrets in mythology and oral stories. Righteous victory in one camp was another’s
evil curse. Hidden temple rites of the
Egyptian neophyte priest exhibit a controlling theme. Secret doctrines from the fallen angel, Enoch
are known to have influential aspects via calendar impressions. Mystical lore was asserted from ruling
authorities.
Traditional Judeo-Christianity
recognizes one omnipotent Almighty.
Followers believe all things are subordinate to God. In a spiritual dimension, we tend to class
events within the kingdoms of good and evil.
Calendar research manages a very fine line between these schools of
thought. There are numerous arguments on
each side. Spiritual forces are largely
subjective. Prevailing opinion, emotion,
level of intent and other factors weigh in our personal judgment. We have to exercise caution here. There are reasons behind all the
secrecy. Time is fluid and dynamic in
nature. The Lord works in
mysterious ways. At this point, I should
insert some of my personal testimony.
I started linking 19 and 20-year
cycles of lunar/solar time reckoning and the calendars of the Sun
Kingdoms. Definite calendar agreements
had attracted my intuition. Previously,
I had not studied any of the mechanics of the Jewish calendar. I knew very little about Judaism, or its
associated calendar. I had only read
that it was extremely old. I wanted to
see if there were relationships between the Jewish calendar and those of the Americas.
I was working with
occurrences some 7,000 years in the past.
My ordinary world ended when an entrance to the pure supernatural
happened. My God blew a hole through time,
and I have since walked with Him. On
September 27, 1981, I entered a bookstore in Phoenix, Arizona, with the clear
and definite intention of researching the origins of the Jewish calendar. Several books on a shelf dealt with
Judaism. I randomly selected one book
entitled Judaism, with a pink paper cover, and turned directly to the
index. Running my right forefinger down
the index list, I stopped at the entry: "calendar - p. 97". I leafed back to what should have been page
97. There was a page 96, and it ended
normally. The next page was completely
blank. There was a page 98 and it
commenced normally.

At that moment, a sudden and great wave of fear passed through me. My heart sank to the pit of my stomach, and I
felt nauseated. I exclaimed aloud,
"No! What? It can't be!" Frantically, I turned to the front of the
book. I flipped through the pages, looking
for evidence of a misprint. There were
no torn pages, no other blank pages, nor binding errors of any kind. I turned the pages one by one from cover to
cover. The book was otherwise perfect
and intact. I was stunned. My mind boggled. Fear became anxiety. Mumbling something about a misprint, I showed
the blank page to the checkout girl. I
gave her the book and promptly left the store.
Time had changed reality, even to distort it. I personally witnessed an unexplainable,
mysterious result caused by my intentions.
Until then calendar methods were a special field of interest that were
isolated from intangible faith. The
calendar is the potent avenue through which all, "signs and wonders"
are feasible.
Mere words cannot express
what went through my mind then. A
mixture of anxiety and starving curiosity would be my fate for the next several
years. The abnormal incident at the
bookstore had caused a major upheaval of my religious faith, and my way of
thinking toward all of time research.
This situation was novel to the area of calendar science. As far as I knew then, and understand now, no
one had ever attempted to connect the Jewish calendar to the ancient
Mesoamerican calendars. To the best of
my knowledge, no formal work had ever combined the Egyptian calendar with other
ancient calendars. I had broken new
ground, and found myself groping for some sort of concrete ideology that
explained time. I had discovered the
joints, or seams, that bridge time patterns together were directly responsible
for supernatural phenomena. I was
motivated to learn more about calendar systems.
Time and the calendar
people live by are two different things.
The continuum of time is a natural extension of the physical world,
intangible and without boundaries. Calendars and clocks are the human way to
measure time. Lunar/solar calendar
systems rely primarily on natural astronomy to quantify time. Metaphysical, heavenly trends that seem as
magic enter reality in the cusps that decide one day from the next, or one year
from the next, or one calendar system versus another. Calendar associations take into account gaps,
intercalations, holidays and lengthy time cycles to encourage a heightened
sense of godly behavior. The Jewish
Calendar is the best continuity model of lunar/solar time to impart the eternal
realm. Religion with supernatural
overtones once supported and maintained the Egyptian and Mesoamerican Calendars
ostensibly with similar outcomes.
Monotheistic heaven designates the Jewish Calendar as the most direct
pipeline from God above. Time has
infinite height, width and length. There
are ripples and currents of power emanating away from the Jewish Calendar.
Old Testament
sources provide the circumstances necessary to link miraculous events with Jewish
Calendar science. Recognized Acts of God punctuate history from the
beginning. Timing is the main ingredient
for extraordinary cause and effect relationships. The cause that ignites His will into action
is a combination that includes lunar and/or solar time, people involved and the
situation. Catalysts that invoke divine
intervention are need, sincerity, emotion and a genuine heart. Time projections, prayer and prophecy call
upon the same mystical powers to generate an episode. Affinities exist between numerical calendar
bonds and phenomena. Realize that far
greater possibilities exist beyond my trivial example.
The effect side in the equation is
borne by the manifestation of supernatural results. The last condition to meet is a willingness
to bear witness. We must make a careful
assessment and plan our response accordingly.
I eventually came to three explicit conclusions. The
extremely remote bonds I was searching for caused a supernatural alteration of
the future. My intent to perform calendar
research touched the edge of Jewish Calendar influence. The mystery of the act compelled me to probe
deeply into the works of God, and to know Him more closely. My preference was to perform
exhaustive calendar research. That event
happened many years ago. I turned to a
course that would constantly deliver new and colorful information about time.
Measured time is
discontinuous by virtue of calendar changes.
Had the anomalous situation been typical regarding that particular book,
that is to say, opening a book to read someone else's explanations about early
calendar patterns and shared characteristics; I would have blindly skipped over
the bookstore incident. I would not have
pursued my later cross-examinations. I
may have become a somewhat dubious believer of many Biblical stories. Looking back, a higher authority than myself
had chosen an alternative future especially for me. I had instead become the object of immaterial
experimentation. I found myself absorbed
into the main dynamics of an elastic realm called time. I felt the incident irrevocably alter the
path of my immortal soul. In this unique
way, God had revealed His presence to me and established a personal
covenant. I started thoroughly studying
the early Biblical history. I concentrated
my efforts on calendar numbers involving the genealogy of Adam and in
particular, the patriarch known as Enoch.
The God of the Hebrews had led me to know Him.
Creation vs. Evolution
discussion acquires new perspectives through calendar research. I feel both viewpoints will benefit from this
work on calendars. The visible evidence
endorsing an early complex civilization, with operant use of 400-year and
800-year time cycles, qualify any standards set for the human race. Scientific investigations entail social
comparisons and mathematical truths.
Numerous archeological and anthropological resources, Biblical and
secular, are available for reference.
Regressing current chronologies by several thousand years does not
answer ultimate questions regarding human origins.
Creationists and
theologians gain a comprehensive stance by expanding Judeo-Christian chronology
to encompass vastly earlier time. The
single omnipotent God is benevolent
toward humanity and provides divine commands.
Polytheism allowed different gods and entities to have their own private
agendas. Ancient supernatural gods in
multiple religious structures nearly always associate with calendar factions.
Word searches and literal
meanings are useful tools. Adam, the generic
man, is using this elaborate form of lunar/solar calendar at the inception of
written Biblical history. The Old
English word Eve, written in the sixteenth century, would naturally pronounce erēve, or the Hebrew beginning of evening, as the
pronoun name Eve. Judaism offers
translations for the word "Generation, or the Hebrew 'toledah',
as Creation, or on account of different indefinite long time periods. The Hebrew seems to have reckoned time by the
generation. In the time of Abraham, a
generation was a hundred years, thus: Gen.
15:16, "In the fourth generation" equals in four hundred years
(compare verse 13 and Ex. 12:40). In Deut.
1:35 and 2:14, a generation is a period of thirty-eight years. I have found Bible study quite rewarding.
I AM speaks to people through His Word, the Holy Bible. Historical, inspirational and supernatural,
the Bible has been with us since
calendar recording began. Readers of the
Holy Bible can understand the
records of ancient times. We discern
what the numbered ages in the Old
Testament actually mean by using three oldest calendars. The three calendar systems that help our
study of Bible times are the Jewish
calendar, the Mesoamerican calendars and the Egyptian calendar. These three calendars allow us to trace back
into remote prehistory. The word
prehistory includes the “before time”, and the compound of “His” and
“story.” Scientists who have worked with
these very early cultures can provide the basic calendar methods that were once
used to measure time. We need to review
the Lord's units of main time
keeping to see the way ancient humanity dealt with time observation.
Early parts of the Old Testament mention days and years
together. Time and the Biblical Creation include major fundamental
concepts known to the ancient Jewish people.
The Old Testament provides
our first realistic ideas about time reckoning and recording. The Lord
defines the day and night in the book of Genesis. The very first calendar of one day had
begun. Description of the seven-day
Creative Week further defines basic operation of the calendar. The sacred seven-day week is a fundamental
religious idea. Four phases of the moon
marked four weekly intervals during the month.
Approximate lunar phases are attached to the origins of the calendar
Sabbath week. Seven-day weeks and lunar
months create the lunar-side of the lunar/solar calendars.
We are discovering ancient days
when timekeepers watched the sun, moon and stars. The Jewish calendar is simple when you
understand the numbers used. The Jewish
Calendar is based on the sun and moon together and measures chronology in
numbered years from the Creation year 1.
Modern recorded dates denote this era as B.C.E. for “Before Common
Era”. Christianity dates according to
the birth of Christ. The same B.C.E. initials mean “Before
Christian Era” or simply B.C. for
“Before Christ.” Time reckoning after Christ applies the A.D. marking of Anno Domini, which stems from the
Latin meaning: “After Divinity” in the year of our Lord.
Calendar systems map world
chronology according to different beginnings.
Some follow Jewish tradition and put the Creation date at 5,766 years
ago or about 3,761 years B.C.E. Others
credit Archbishop Ussher with calculating in 1,701
A.D. that Creation took place in 4,004 B.C.
The Egyptian Calendar begins between 4,236 B.C.E. and 4,241 B.C.E.,
along with Egyptian mythology explaining the world's creation. Starting dates depend on star observation in
Egypt, since that is the only way primal society had to mark calendar
years. Another plan estimates the
starting Mayan Calendar date to be 3,113 B.C.E.
Shared calendar characteristics enable deeper inspection of prehistoric
time reckoning. Sacred texts and current
science provide clues needed to reconstruct the oldest Biblical history. Important traits gathered from past calendar
time streams become woven together to obtain hybrid insight. Three ancient calendar systems form the
world's oldest trunk line of calendar science.
God used a lunar/solar
calendar to write listed ages for the Antediluvian Patriarchs. The family of Adam heralds new discovery from
the earliest time.
Ages of Adam will aid you through better understanding of the Old Testament and significant calendar
information. This work stresses time
reckoning and recording. We return to
the origins of day and night that lead up to the sacred seven-day week to
explore this affinity between God
above and calendar times.
Genesis 1:4
"And God saw the light, that it was good: and
God divided the light from the darkness."
God was "between" the light, and the darkness in the
literal Hebrew definition. This basic
interlinear Bible definition
establishes a slightly different thought of God being between or separating, daylight on the one hand, and
darkness on the other. This meaning sets
the precedence for identifying day and night.
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."
The Lord put two great lights in heaven, one to rule the day and one to
rule the night. The light of the sun
measured the day and the light of the moon measured time greater than a
day. The greater light is, of course,
the sun. Everything we call solar deals
with the sun. The lesser light, or
luminary, is the moon. The word lunar
relates to the moon or the month. The
sun and moon identify as luminaries.
This work of God, of dividing, separating or coming between daylight and
darkness to measure time is the basic premise of the original Jewish
calendar. Calendars, time, and the
sacred seven-day week have inspired the purest of time references to the Holy Bible. We must examine formative religions and ideas
about time. In chapter 5 of Genesis, a correlation exists between
the “begat” genealogy following Adam and numerical ties to ancient
calendars. Adam and his descendants
through Noah are the Antediluvian Patriarchs.
Antediluvian tells us they were before the great flood of Noah and all
were Patriarchs, or fore fathers of humanity.
The Holy Bible provides our
greatest treasure of calendar history and early theology. The Master of the Universe, He who sits upon
the throne of glory and grace, stretches forth His right hand to give us time.
We become one human race when you
put man and woman together. There are
two literal Hebrew definitions involved here.
Adam meant “the man,” in the literal Hebrew sense of the word. Adam, the word, differs from a personal
pronoun name like Bob or John. Adam is
the human being, the generic man or a breathing creature. Adam in this work refers to the universal,
generic meaning for man. The man is a
derivative form of the root word that describes reddish clay, soil or
dust. Literal word searches furnish
meanings that aid our calendar study. A
synthesis of faiths and mythology sharpen initial views regarding
civilization. People have always marked
birth and death by the calendar. Calendars are united with the spiritual
afterlife in memorials. Early religions
recognized conceptions of the spirit and soul after death by burial and by
saying “from dust unto dust.” The
lifetime of Adam is given precise lunar/solar years in chapter 5 of Genesis.
Eve is the woman in literal
Hebrew. She is the life-giver, mother to
the living, or child-bearer. The
feminine fertility issue has always been associated with lunar
observation. The lunar month has been
forever etched on humanity right alongside with the moon -- mother perceptions
of ancient times. Cycles of new moons
were the basic time reckoning ingredients for lunar/solar calendars. Where Eve represented the feminine side of
human order according to lunar observation, Adam represented the masculine,
solar side, according to solar positioning on the horizon. In other words, Adam's male image also
implied meaning toward the rising and setting positions of the sun through all
four seasons during the year. Adam and
Eve have embedded connections with primitive cosmology.
Clarification of God resting on the seventh day defines
a separation between successive time frames.
God again divides, separates
or is between the light and darkness of the moon. Repeated instances in a theme show a holy
relationship is present between specific divisions of calendar times. Transition from one lunar phase ending to
commencement of the next lunar phase is the most revered unit of time
measurement known. God set aside the Sabbath Day as holy. God
consecrated the Jewish Shabbat for all time to come. The sacred Jewish significance of the
seven-day week and the number seven elsewhere support religious observance of
the moon as an early calendar.
The lunar/solar calendar
begins to emerge with a variety of ultimate connotations. Day unto night, between the weeks as Sabbath,
new moon crescents and finally intercalary days all continue divine providence
upon Earth. Time steps in the
lunar/solar calendar accumulate for longer time cycles. Years and then multiple of years exhibit the
same religious notions to vast proportions.
Changes in the appearance
of the moon at night provide the seven-day week. Divisions of seven-days separate the four
basic lunar phases noted in figure 1.
Starting with a new moon crescent, the moon gradually comes into view on
following nights. The first half of the
moon is visible in about seven-days. The
moon waxes until full moon at the end of two weeks. Lunar light reverses progression in the third
week, waning to half visibility. A
fourth week completes the month and visibility diminishes toward a new
moon. Completion of four lunar phases
comprises the month. The true lunar
month measures 29.53-days. Ancient
calendar makers recorded approximations according to actual observation. Whole lunar months of 29-days or 30-days were
the common practice in lunar/solar calendar systems. The average lunar month of 29.5-days repeats
upon sighting the new moon crescent.
Light and darkness classify lunar phases in the lunar-side of
lunar/solar calendars. Original
interpretations of lunar time place God
between the weeks on Sabbath Days.

Lunar/solar calendar foundations of
the Jewish calendar extend from the earliest verses of scripture. Natural, uniform motions of the heavenly spheres
are the pivotal markers of time reckoning.
The list of ancient characters mentioned in the Old Testament used this lunar/solar calendar system of time
recording. Observation of lunar phases
coupled with solar positioning graduated the lifetime ages of Adam and his
descendants. Well over ten thousand
years ago, proto-historical calendar makers had developed advanced sciences
such as mathematics and astronomy.
Intercalary days were added to the lunar year of twelve-moon-months in
order to complete our modern solar year of 365-days. The necessary intercalary days are best
described as lunar/solar separation time by "coming between" lunar
and solar times.
There are 12 finished lunar months
during the current 365-day-solar-year.
Since day one, that has never changed.
An average lunar month is about 29-and-one-half days long, and is
measured against a starry nighttime background.
There are four quarters during one-lunar-month. From new moon, which shows no moonlight, to
the first phase of the moon, or half the lighted moon, about one week has
passed. In two weeks, the moon's light
waxes to full-moon stage. Reversing the
pattern, the third week of the month wanes visibility to diminish the moon's
light back to halfway again. The fourth
weekly period continues the waning retreat of moonlight until again repeating
the new moon. Twelve lunar months
multiply by 29.5-days each for 354-days to approximate the lunar year (Eqn. 1).
Time differences between lunar and
solar calendar years provide lunar/solar calendar adjustments, or
intercalations. Twelve mature lunar
months multiply by 29.5-days per lunar month for 354-days to approximate the
lunar year (Eqn. 1). Subtraction yields
11 days of lunar/solar separation time between the lunar year of 12 moon
months, and the solar year of about 365-days (Eqn. 2). Eleven days of difference every year were the
staple for lunar/solar calendars. During
19-years, 11-days of lunar/solar separation time every year multiply this
division between lunar years and solar years (Eqn. 3). Lunar/solar separation time measures 209-days
of difference after 19-years have passed.
Therefore, any 19-year lunar/solar calendar cycle had to incorporate
these remaining 209-days of separation as intercalary days in order to catch up
the lunar-side of the calendar, with the solar-side of the calendar. Intercalary systems varied between cultures
to compensate calendar recording.
Throughout this text, 'lunar/solar' denotes calendar
terminology that pertains to lunar and solar time. Variations include 'lunar/solar separation
time' to indicate time between lunar years and solar years. Occasionally the phrase is abbreviated 'l/s'. Lunar-side specifically addresses time
measured according to lunar, or moon reckoning.
Solar-side addresses time that depends on solar, or sun reckoning. Lunar/solar calendar time is the most
important approach to survey ancient calendars.

Lunar/solar calendars were common
throughout the ancient world. Different
calendar systems employed the 19-year cycle with slight variations. Study of the Jewish Calendar provides the
necessary understanding that is fundamental to lunar/solar calendar
cycles. Equally important, the Jewish
Calendar was the mainstay time recording plan found throughout the Old Testament.
More information regarding Jewish Calendar festival and holiday
celebrations is available from the timeemits.com website. The scope of this work is primarily the
treatment of l/s intercalations. Ancient
and modern versions of the calendar vary slightly. A true comparison is possible only through
supplementary reading in Judaism.
The present Jewish calendar
consists of two basic types of years, the sacred and the civil year (Figure
3). Jewish calendar month names are
shown in the far-left column. Old Testament scriptures that
specifically reference Jewish months are given.
All Hebrew months are lunar months, assigning 29-days, or 30-days each
within both kinds of years. The sacred year
is based on the directives given to Moses, and is the official calendar year of
the religious festivals. The national
calendar at the time of Moses began in the spring, or the month of Abib.
The civil year is the later
instituted version of the Jewish calendar.
Both types of years contain twelve lunar months for 354-and-one-quarter
days until the Jewish leap year adds a thirteenth "Veador"
intercalary month. There are seven leap
years in every 19-year cycle. The focus
of the Jewish calendar rests with the 19-year Metonic
cycle. Developed in 432 B.C. and named
after Athenian astronomer Meton, seven-extra-months
are spread over 19-years. An
approximated 209-days of lunar/solar separation time are accumulated through
close observation of the moon, sun, and stars during the 19-year cycle. The extra 209-days are divided into
seven-intercalary-months to reinforce the sacred seven-day week, and they
usually alternate between 29-days and 30-days each in the Jewish calendar.
One extra Veador
month is inserted seven different times during 19-years. The Veador intercalary
month is included seven different times, and every two or three years within
the 19-year lunar/solar Metonic cycle of the Jewish
calendar. The intercalary month of Veador, also called Second Adar, is added between the
months of Adar, and Nisan. Second Adar
is inserted by adding it to the end of the 12-lunar-month year.
The Jewish calendar year has six
possible lengths. The 12-month lunar
year is 353-days, 354-days, or 355-days long.
The Jewish calendar Veador Year (Jewish Leap Year)
adds one-lunar-month. Jewish leap years
have either 383, 384, or 385-days that furnish 13-months. Adjustment of the Jewish leap year within the
19-year Metonic cycle becomes complex. Seven times in a 19-year Metonic
cycle result in the required 209-days of lunar/solar separation.
The Bible imparts the calendar's lengthy development in a kind of diary
fashion for the Jewish people.
Adjustments to Rosh Hashanah, and the
resultant celebrations of the sacred festival year influence modern study of New Testament events. Perhaps the most well-know tie between
contemporary Christianity and use of the Jewish calendar is the Passover
Sabbath. In celebration of the Exodus
from Egypt (circa 1,250 B.C.E.), the Jewish Rosh Hashanah precedes the sacred
Passover festival in the month of Abib (Exodus 13:4). To obey the will of God, the Passover
commemoration must be recognized every year forever (Exodus 12:14-15).
The sacred feast and
festival calendar year has origins dating from the Exodus. Leviticus
23 details when and how to observe the Day of Atonement, Passover, and the
Feast of Weeks or Shavu’ot. Today, these celebrations are observed the
world over by Judaism. Placement within
the Jewish Calendar year held significance for the Holy Convocations. Feasts and festivals have served to sustain
Jewish culture.
The Jubilee year is the Sabbatic Year that
follows seven successive Sabbatic years (Leviticus 25:8-54). The numerical matching of seven days to seven
years was elementary to amounting the 50-year Jubilee cycle. After six years, the seventh year was a Sabbatic year. Seven
multiples of seven years are 49 years that result in a 50-year Jubilee
cycle. Culminating the fiftieth year of
the l/s calendar as a Sabbatic year included Hebrew
custom. The Jubilee year gave rest
to the soil, reverted landed property back to original owners, and freed
Israelites that were formerly slaves.
Traditions reinforce the appointed feasts of HaShem.
The Passover Sabbath begins a
50-day countdown to the feast of first fruits, or feast of weeks. Seven multiples of a Sabbath was either 49
days or 49 years. The feast of weeks
closes the harvest with Shav’ot, which is generally
celebrated as a two-day festival on the 6 and 7 th of
Sivan. Christians assign Pentecost to be
50-days after Nisan 16, or the second day following Passover Sabbath. For many, the giving of the Law to Israel is
synonymous with the gift of the Holy
Spirit to the Apostles. Lunar/solar
origins of the Jewish calendar combine with threads from other agricultural
calendars. Observance kept the Jewish
lunar/solar calendar on track year after year.
Star of David

The Jewish calendar (figure 2) is the most widely
known lunar/solar calendar still in continuous use in our modern times. The Jewish calendar applies the oldest
calendar mechanics in existence. The approximated
209-days of lunar/solar separation time were accumulated through close
observation of the moon, sun, and stars during a 19-year cycle. These extra 209-days are divided into seven
intercalary months to reinforce the sacred seven-day week, and they usually
alternate between 29-days and 30-days each in the Jewish calendar. One extra Veador
month is inserted seven different times during 19-years. The Veador month is
added every two or three years.
The Magen David (Shield of David) is an
accepted symbol that recognizes Jewish character. The symbol is used on the state flag for the
nation of Israel. Some think the
intertwined equilateral triangles have deeper theological meaning. Jewish synagogues have used the symbol to
identify them as houses of worship.
Dating from 3,761 B.C.E., the
Jewish year is calculated to be one of six different lengths of days. A common year may contain 353, 354, or
355-days. Every 2 or 3 years, the Jewish
calendar has 13-lunar-months.
Intercalary months are added to 354-days or 355-days to give 383, 384,
or 385-days in the Jewish leap year (Eqn. 4a-d). Precise calculations of Jewish calendar
science are elaborate. Other cultures
worldwide, such as the ancient Greek, Chinese, Babylonian, and Sun Kingdoms of
Central and South America all used similar methods of lunar/solar observation
and intercalation.

Holy Bible Sacred Festival Calendar Figure 3
Lunar/solar calendar intercalary
months varied in name and precise length.
However, seven extra lunar months were the chosen standard practice that
matched with the seven-day week. The
moon's light was divided in darkness according to seven-day periods for the
four phases of the moon, and seven intercalary months divided lunar years from
solar years in the 19-year cycle of the Jewish calendar. These early people had to know planting and
harvesting times for the crops they raised in order to survive. Agriculture was the major source of food
production for early culture. The Jewish
calendar's Feast of First Fruits is one of the most celebrated worship
festivals of the Bible. Linked to the Christian New Testament Pentecost, this celebration is a
focal point for all Judeo-Christianity.
Feasts and festivals associated
with farming in other cultures used a sacred-year. Agrarian societies often depended upon a
sacred-year having 260-days. Intercalary
days, a 360-day-civil-year, and the 260-day-sacred-year were integral to the
calendars of early prehistory. These
differing types of years were the common denominators for most lunar/solar
calendars. Ancient calendar discovery
begins with fundamental tools.
The Sinai Peninsula holds the key to understanding past
calendar systems. The Assyrians,
Babylonians, Persians, early Egyptians and Israelites all used lunar/solar
calendars. Common patterns are evident
in early calendar versions. The foremost
notion is evidence of a 360-day civil type of year. A 360-day length of year was the earliest
form of the calendar, and the stem of Middle Eastern calendars. Five additional days were included to
complete the solar year. The last five days
were generally associated with religious festivities. Methods used to include the last five days of
the full year were similar. Both
Egyptian and Sun Kingdoms' sister calendars intercalated five days each
year. The sacred period of
five-feast-days was intercalated at the end of the year. A 360-day length of year was the basis for
our modern 360-degree circle. Higher
mathematics has paved the way to modern technology.
The 360-day length of year was
commonly used in very early prehistory.
For example, a year of 360-days was once used by Hindu chronology in
historical computations. Generally,
five-special-days were added to complete the solar year. Using thirty-days for a month was common with
the sun moving for six months, or 180 days to the north, and for same number of
days to the south. Ancient Persia used
360-days for a year, plus five supplementary days. The old Babylonian year, and the early
Egyptian year, was composed of 360 days each.
The Assyrian year also consisted of 360 days. Even the story of the flood reckons in
thirty-day months (Genesis 7:11 - 8:4).
The concept of a time split tool is
actually very old. Lunar/solar calendars
split time at the 360-day mark for every single, or one year. The ancient idea of God dividing daylight and darkness was expanded to God dividing "lunar-time" and
"solar-time." The lunar-side
time split happened after twelve full lunar months. In whole numbers, another five or sometimes
six-days were required to reach the 360-day midpoint length of year.
The time split tool can be used to
find the midpoint of any time parameter.
Ancient calendar terminology often doubled and divided known numerical
periods. In effect, we are “reverse
engineering” some aspects of the ancient calendars. Mayan cosmology divided the universe and
time(s) into four equal quadrants. Both
lunar and solar aspects of the heavens were observed. The total lunar/solar difference between the
two types of years amounts to ten or eleven days every year. The Jewish Calendar adapts 11-days of
intercalation per year. The Mayan and
related Sun Kingdoms' calendars average about 10.5-days of lunar/solar
separation time every year.
Intercalary gaps are sub-divided
into lunar/solar separation time, or time splits. Time splits serve to define a lunar-side of
time and a solar-side of time. The first
time split case for a 360-day single year is shown in figure 4. Longer lunar/solar calendars advance the time
split tool concept with multiples of years.
Accrued intercalary days are
respective multiples of the original single year time split. Only the number values change with later
intercalations. The same time split
design illustrates that more l/s cycles have occurred. A 20-year l/s cycle in figure 5 uses the same
approach. The natural convenience of
splitting time at the 360-day mark in any year is seen for greater cycles.

Any l/s calendar year of 360-days
balances the difference between lunar years and solar years. The left-hand moon picture in figure 4
represents the lunar-side time split from equation 5 above. A lunar year is approximated with
12-moon-months. The right-hand sun
picture represents the solar-side time split beyond the 360-day central
midpoint between lunar and solar years.
The lunar-side time split subtracts 5.25-days of lunar-side separation
time to arrive at 354.75-days in the generalized pattern of lunar/solar
calendar development (Eqn 5.
The average 10.5-days of
lunar/solar separation time are calculated in equation 6. A 10.5-day lunar/solar time split is the
wider ranging application in ancient calendars.
Greater multiples of the 360-day midpoint year utilize the time-split
tool by yielding 10.5-days for every single, or one year. Extending the single l/s calendar year to the
20-year multiple of the l/s calendar continues exactly this fundamental,
approximate intercalation. About 10.5
days of l/s time split are added to the lunar year having 12-moon-months to
arrive at the estimated solar-year for l/s calendars.
Flux lines are shown in figure 4 to
indicate the spiritual interaction found between lunar and solar time
reckoning. The simplistic diagram is
only meant to identify that the time based relationship occurs. Calendar drawings are schematic symbols that
allude to the eschatology, or history of involved culture. At dawn and dusk times, equinoxes and
solstices, and significant points during the year there are immeasurable
changes in the flux density. A type of
venturi effect becomes manifest. The
spiritual dimension responds to these changes, whether they occur on Sunday
mornings or on Friday nights. Clocks and
calendars hanging on the wall mark the consistent passing of time. The difference found between lunar and solar
reckoning is more pronounced with extreme time spans. Secrets of the calendar include time projections
by notable Sun Kingdoms’ priest-astronomers, or the holy “wise” men of the
Middle East.
The sun-side picture in figure 4
references a solar-side time split that adds 5.25-days after 360-days. The ancient Egyptian Calendar and the Sun
Kingdoms’ calendars specifically associate with a solar-side time split
resulting in 365.25 days. The sun-side
of lunar/solar calendars includes our modern leap day fraction for the purpose
of this discussion. Equation 7 concludes
the figure 4 diagram for every single (1) year of the l/s calendar.
10.5-Days
Time Split Every Year Figure 4
Ten-and-one-half days compare with
eleven days to separate lunar and solar lengths of a year. Adjusting the lunar year to 354-days for
computations, and dividing by 12-lunar-months makes each lunar month about
29.5-days long. A 29.5-day length of
month is very close to the actual month, and was often approximated to 30-days
per lunar month. The 29.5-day length of
month may have been interchangeable with lunar months of 30-days. The moon picture on the left side of figure 4
symbolizes the lunar-side of the calendar.
Twelve lunar months of 30-days each
amount to 360-days and establish the basic 360-day midpoint supposition behind
early calendars. The given 360-days per
single, or one year, were the midpoint between lunar years and solar
years. Both lunar and solar years were
evenly balanced at the 360-day midpoint.
The dividing line shown beneath the moon and sun in figure 4 represents
the 360-day fulcrum midpoint between lunar and solar sides of the calendar.
The right-hand sun circle in figure
4 shows the parallel solar-side time split.
Masculine notation is used for the 5.25-day addition to a 360-day
midpoint type of year. The solar year of
365.25 days is approximated here.
Solar-side time split amounts 5.25-days of difference between a 360-day
midpoint length of year and a modern year having 365.25-days. Our modern leap day fraction of one-quarter
day per year was accounted for in past calendar systems. The ancient propensity to assign masculine,
sun-side and feminine, moon-side characteristics to lunar/solar intercalations
exaggerates for the greater 20-year time cycle depicted in figure 5.
Cultures worldwide largely
identified with the dual concept of a feminine, lunar-side and a masculine,
solar-side to time. The masculine solar-side
of reckoning was usually identified with an allotted time period. A male deity was assigned with a female
counterpart. For example, the Egyptian
Osiris was paired with Isis in Egyptian mythology. Baal was paired with Astarte
in Babylonian lore. Cultivation properly
depended on growing and harvest times of the calendar. The annual Nile flooding season was
associated with Sothis. Astarte or Asheroth, in the Old Testament was thought to
provide blessings to groves and vineyards.
Using the 360-day midpoint length of year serves to reference a set
number of days to be either feminine, or masculine in nature. Effectively, time was split at the 360-day
midpoint length to attribute about 5.25-days to the lunar-side, and 5.25-days
to the solar-side for a single, one year.
This hypothesis of God (or gods) coming between is reiterated and
carried forth in the calendar math.
Understanding the 10.5-days of lunar/solar time
split is instrumental to lengthy calendar recording. Approximating 209-days of lunar/solar
separation time split to be 210-days of time split expands the 19-year
lunar/solar cycle to a 20-year lunar/solar cycle. Attributing half of lunar/solar separation to
either feminine or masculine time is analogous to languages that have masculine
and feminine genders of words. A word is
used in a sentence according to principles of grammar and meaning. Developing the dual feminine/masculine gender
emphasizes ancient notions of time.
Calendar science is a matter of style and application that describe
units of time.
Lunar/solar separation time
split measuring 10.5-days per year builds in multiples that respect cycles of
years. One multiple of a 20-year
lunar/solar calendar cycle produces 210-days of l/s separation time. Equation 8 multiplies 10.5-days of
lunar/solar separation time by a 20-year cycle to arrive at 210-days of
lunar/solar separation time.
Alignment with calendar tools
includes a feminine/masculine duality and reinforcement of the sacred number
seven. Seven-days of the week reference
the monthly fertility issue. Numerically
matching 7-intercalary-months reinforces 7-day-weeks in the 20-year l/s
cycle. The equivalent 210-days of l/s
separation time result from seven 30-day-months (Eqn. 9). Equation 10 employs the divide by two, time
split tool to show equal halves of 105-days each for the lunar-side and
solar-side of a 20-year lunar/solar cycle.

Central and South American people
such as the Maya, Inca and Aztecs commonly approximated these same 209-days of
lunar/solar separation time to be 210-days, or seven even months of 30-days
each following 19-years of recognition.
The twentieth year offered the next building block to time
progression. The twentieth year of the
lunar/solar calendar marks the time split that cuts 210-days in half. The lunar-side time split is 105-days. Lunar-side separation time was feminine and
assigned to the lunar-side of the calendar (Eqn. 10). The solar-side time split assigns 105-days to
the male solar-side of the calendar (Eqn. 11).
Ancient theology supporting the 20-year lunar/solar cycle supplies two
equal halves of 105-days. Masculine and
feminine genders describe the time splits according to layers. The female/male time analogy naturally
results in the next offspring layer. The
calendar measures by documenting generations.
The fundamental 20-year lunar/solar system results in 210-days of
lunar/solar separation time. The outcome
is time split to become 105-days each for the lunar-side and solar-side.
Babylonian influence during the time of Ezra gave names to the
months. Hebrews originally numbered the
months. Masculine and feminine genders
were imparted, or at least strengthened from nearby cultures. The 19-year l/s cycle mixed with Jewish
holiday periods and the 50-year Jubilee sequence. The total number of intercalary days varied
to be either 209 days or 210 days. Some
cultures even changed the calendar days at dawn. Two and one-half 20-year l/s cycles are equal
to one 50-year Jubilee cycle. The
same number of intercalary days would apply for 525-days l/s separation time.
Middle Eastern calendars likely
interacted 7-months as 209-days of l/s separation time. Jewish, Babylonian and nearby sub-cultures
were more nomadic. Precise solar
calculations logically took place in the lasting cities of Egypt. Lunar observation identifies with mobile
cultures. Observing Sabbath in seven
days intervals reflects a lunar cosmology.
Sabbath multiples of seven times seven days reckoned the Feast of
Weeks. Extending Sabbath Days to Sabbath
Years for the 50-Year Jubilee pattern emphasizes this philosophy. The ancient Egyptian Calendar is more closely
linked to a fixed culture. Sun Kingdoms’
cultures also had stationary ceremonial centers. Sighting equinoxes and solstices feature a
solar-side cosmology. The Egyptian
Calendar is prone to have intercalated 210-days for a 20-year l/s cycle.

Every twentieth year of 365-days
had two basic components: 105-days of sun-side time, and another portion of
260-days. Sun Kingdoms' Calendars
commonly used numerical matching to describe these two distinct, recurrent
yearly elements having 105-days and 260-days.
Archaeologists call the agricultural 260-day period a ritual year. This work will use the 260-day-sacred-year as
basis for calculations. The
260-day-sacred-year began and ended on the same days within a 365-day normal
year.
There are nuances of difference between the Sun Calendars and those of
the Middle East. South and Central
American people primarily focused their calendars upon the sun, stars and
planetary Venus. Latitude of the Yucatan
Peninsula played a role in substantiating the four cardinal points of the year:
equinoxes and solstices. Aztec calendar
shamans started their 52-year Calendar Round upon observing the Pleiades star
cluster at zenith point. The Mayan
Dresden Codex references 20-year l/s cycles according to the planet Venus. Venus is the mythological male god,
Quetzalcoatl.
Shades of Egyptian mythology are contained in the lore of Quetzacoatl. The
resurrection story claims Quetzalcoatl was a ruling deity who traveled to the
east to found a new empire. When he
died, Venus appeared as a star to become the lord of dawn. A full cycle of visibility is complete in 584
days. The Dresden Venus Table records
five full cycles in Maya calendar language to arrive at 2,920 days. The Dresden Codex is an elaborate document
that mixes Mayan astronomy with the astrology.
210-Day Time Split for a
20-Year Cycle Figure 5
The ancient Egyptians were doing something special
with their calendar system. They had computed
and used the 365-day-solar-year. Ancient
Egyptians had also accounted for the one-quarter-leap-day fraction every
year. The Egyptian Calendar was
decidedly solar. Egyptian starting
calendar dates between 4,236 B.C.E. and 4,241 B.C.E. are derived from
hieroglyphs, Egyptology concerning Pharaoh dynasties, and a few Greek
writings. Using 12-lunar-months of
30-days each, the official Egyptian year had 360-days. Another five special feast days were added to
360-days at the end of the year following the winter solstice. The quarter leap day every year was
accumulated.
A 365-day Egyptian total year was
matched with a 365-year period. Instead
of including a single leap day at the end of every four years like we do now,
the Egyptians added a single year at the end of 4 passes of 365-years each
(Eqn. 10). After 1,460-years, or 4
periods of 365-years, one full year of leap time figured to be
365-extra-leap-days. One leap day every
4-years of our calendar was reversed for one complete year in the Egyptian
Calendar. The ancient Sothic Cycle of
the Egyptians at the top layer of the pyramid in figure 5 had 1,461-years. The top-level summit of the pyramid shown
indicates the 1,461-year-Sothic-Cycle of the Egyptians. The identical treatment of days and years was
the paramount feature of the Egyptian solar calendar.

per Year)
= 1460 Years (365 Days per Year) +
365 Days
= 1460 Years + 1 Year
= 1461 Year Sothic Cycle
Numerical matching of days and
years is discovered in the pattern of the ancient Egyptian Calendar. Our modern leap day on February 29 is
intercalated every 4 years of 365-days each, or after 1,460-days. The Egyptians reversed this practice to
intercalate an entire "leap year" after four complete passes of
365-years, or 1,460-years. The final
leap year added 365-leap-days more to make the whole Sothic Cycle 1,461-years
long. The Egyptian dynastic rule of the
pharaohs, the heavenly observation of the star Sirius, and the resulting theism
were perpetuated by the solar calendar.
The Sothic Cycle and the associated Osirian mythology
helps tie the ancient Egyptian Calendar to the Sun Kingdoms’ Calendars. The resurrection story transforming a god
into a star is a fascinating parallel.
Osirus is said to have become Sirus and Quetzacoatl became Venus.
Secondly, we note 1,460 days attached to Sothic Cycle are doubled in the
Mesoamerican legends to be 2,920 days. A
finite agreement is achieved from the Dresden Codex and Egyptology.
The ancient Egyptian Sothic Cycle
above shows the relationship of the Biblical Enoch character and the Egyptian
Calendar sequence. Enoch is the seventh
pre-flood forefather descendant from Adam.
Enoch's ages are associated with calendars and astronomy. Our Holy
Bible includes written records that began in the extreme past. Before the flood, ties existed between the
group of characters called the Antediluvian Patriarchs in Genesis, Chapter 5, and the early calendars.
Genesis 5:23
proclaims the total 365-year age of Enoch:
"And all the days of Enoch were three
hundred sixty and five years:"
Enoch's age of 365 years in Genesis
relates to the Egyptian Sothic Cycle of 1,461 years. Other scriptures such as Hebrews 11:5 in the New
Testament also mention Enoch. Extra
reading in some very old Jewish writings, namely the three books of Enoch, specify
that Enoch assigned 364 days to the calendar year. The Enochian
Calendar had 52 even weeks of seven days each, with one day remaining. Traditional Jewish use of the seven-day week
is upheld by 52 even weeks. Seven Sabbatic years may have been included to follow the Jubilee
pattern. Seven days and the composite
seven years maintain the Sabbath order.
The last day of the solar calendar year was set apart and added up over
several years. The Enochian
Sect was the group of followers that recognized this idea of cascaded time
measurement. Putting this whole picture
together, the ancients were using numerical matching of days versus years to
measure the same thing, time. The Enochian Calendar closely resembles the ancient Egyptian
Calendar.

Ancient time reckoning and
recording affirmed the most basic counting procedures according to cycles of
the sun, moon, and stars. Entrenched
throughout the history of world civilization are the main ingredients of lunar/solar
calendars. From the earliest conceptions
of Adam and Eve to the wide array of mythology and folklore, humanity is
aligned with masculine and feminine dualism inherent to lunar/solar calendar
operations. Patterns of female fertility
cycles have been forever linked with lunar, monthly periods of about
29-and-one-half days. Literal Hebrew
meanings found in Bible
dictionaries, lexicons, and the more exhaustive concordances provide Eve to be
the "woman, child-bearer, and mother to all the living." Adam meant the "generic man, breathing
creature", or simply "person" in literal Hebrew.
Lunar/solar time splits were
expanded results of dual heavenly observance.
Nearly 11-days of lunar/solar separation time came between, divided, and
separated the lunar year of 12-moon-months, or 354-days, versus a solar year of
365-days. Time was further subdivided,
or split, to attribute half the difference to the lunar, female Eve side of
ancient calendars. The remaining
companion half of 11-days was attributed to the solar, male side of time
reckoning.
The early portion of Genesis
accommodates both 19-year and 20-year types of l/s cycles. The Jewish Calendar conveys the bulk of
calendar reference. The ancient Egyptian
Calendar has to be regarded as a supplemental source. Connections between the Egyptian Calendar and
the Sun Kingdoms’ Calendars can be further explored. The intent of the scriptures carries
historical calendar information and the spiritual aspects devoted to worship.
The Bible is the authority we use to validate this form of calendar
science. All the calendar knowledge that
we can possibly assess relies upon the antiquity of the text. Our study of time next crosses a threshold of
spirit and faith to admit understanding the original purpose. The spirit of the archaic writings leads us
to intention and context. Faith must
take precedence over factual indicators.
Testimony is the evidence of things
unseen. The Jewish God has no form or flesh.
The Jewish Calendars is an instrument that positions feasts and festivals
for practical living. Like Mt. Sinai was
a place for revelation, and the giving of Law to Moses, the calendar sets the
time for worship. God and time are invisible.
Ancient writers of the Old Testament recorded the passage of time
with the same thesis of testimony. The
prudent approach is to decipher meanings with similar intention and
context. The spirit and essence of the
original scriptures can be captured with the aid of calendar tools. The goal is to view the calendar as the
ancients once described. Inventory of
the calendar tools include calendar fragments, ideas of faith, and testimony.
Time measured by the earliest
calendar lengthened along with supporting philosophies toward the heavens. Another layer of dualistic observance was
added when the next graduation of the calendar occurred. To the feminine, Eve side of the lunar/solar
calendar again was attributed half the difference between lunar and solar
calendar expansions. The masculine,
solar sun-side counterpart received half the difference between the two systems
also. The miracle of human birth was
addressed by the calendar eons ago.
Any 19-year cycle in the Jewish
calendar multiplies 11-days of lunar/solar difference for about 209-days. Ancient Greek, Babylonian, and Chinese
calendars incorporated similar 19-year patterns that added some 209-intercalary
days in order to adjust the lunar side with the solar side of the
calendar. Sister calendars of the Aztec,
Inca, and Mayan cultures also used lunar/solar calendar systems for measuring
time. The 19-year l/s time split pattern
is a calendar tool.
The 20-year l/s cycle modifies the
19-year l/s calendar tool. Following
other l/s calendars, 209-days of lunar/solar separation were approximated for
210-days, or seven extra intercalary months of 30-days each. Within Mesoamerican calendars, a 20-year
period became the standard unit.
Numerical matching of seven intercalary months in 20-years reinforced
the sacred seven-day week that was found especially in 19-year lunar/solar
calendars. Along these lines, numerical
matching for given multiples of days was associated with numerical matching for
the same number of years. Numerical
matching of days and years becomes an imperative calendar tool.
Calendar science provides an
accurate view of history. The calendar
is the foundation that history is built upon.
Chronology of the past is necessary for cultural study. Remote history preserves important dates to
explain things in the past. Anniversaries
and holidays are significant.
Celebrating these important dates shapes the future. Every society uses a system of time
measurement to assign dates to events.
Today, the modern calendar is highly developed. An improved acquaintance with the Old Testament is obtained through
important calendar information.
Ancient calendars of the Middle
East share identities of the Sun Kingdoms' calendars. Sun Kingdoms' calendars simulate religious
principles found with Middle Eastern calendars.
Restored meanings are evident in Genesis. Ages recorded for the genealogy following
Adam present high correlations to calendar usage by civilizations of long
ago. Tools provided by the three oldest,
major calendars known to civilization blend for a hybrid insight into early
Biblical chronology. Variations of
calendar observance may be employed to adjust historical perspectives. The calendars used for the Antediluvian
Patriarchs, or pre-flood forefathers, extend into the past nearly 14,000 years
ago.
The Bible calendar advocates literal Hebrew definitions for Adam and
Eve. Biblical ages given for Adam, and
the Antediluvian Patriarchs following, include both primary and secondary age
levels. Time measured from birth of the
named father until begetting the next character is the primary age. Primary ages listed serve lunar/solar
divisions that are halved in order to develop the extensive calendar. Secondary ages comprise the time measured
from birth of the next son until the death of the father. Secondary ages involve overall cycles that
relate to a distinctive intercalary time.
Halving and doubling of time was the main style of recording ancient
lunar/solar calendars. Seven-day week
divisions were set by lunar phases during the calendar of Adam. Rounded 30-day months provided formative
lunar calendars. Early religious
philosophies and calendar use are documented with a parallel theme in the Book of Genesis.
The Sun Kingdoms of the Middle
Americas were based on a religious calendar.
Izappan and early Toltec cultures used the
intricate calendar system to measure time.
Religion of the Yucatan Peninsula was established through spiritual
deities attached to the calendar. Early
Mesoamerican cultures evolved to become the Maya, Inca, and Aztec people. Sister calendars branched with little
variation throughout Central and South America.
The Sun Kingdoms' calendar assigned roles of time to the religious
deities of the spiritual hierarchy.
Specific time periods were allotted to god(s).
The ancient Sun Kingdoms used a
20-year calendar base. By correlating
the 20-year period of the sun calendars to 19-year lunar/solar cycles, bonds
are evident. Central and South American
people such as the Maya, Inca, and Aztec commonly approximated the same
209-days of lunar/solar separation to be 210-days, or seven-even-months of
30-days each. An approximate 210-day
separation found with a 19-year cycle of l/s calendars is divided in half for
105-days. Closer examination reveals
105-days in a dominant theme were assigned to the sun-side of l/s separation
time. Reiterating, the next 105-days
accentuate the twentieth 365-day-solar-year.
Each year and every twentieth year the remaining 105-days are distinctly
isolated in the Sun Kingdoms' calendars.
At the end of multiple 19-year periods, the total number of lunar/solar
separation days is divided in half for the same multiple of 20-year cycles in
the Sun Kingdoms' calendars.
A 365-day length of year in the Sun Kingdoms' calendars
contained a 260-day portion and a 105-day portion (Eqn. 14). The 260-day period was linked to agriculture
and called the sacred year. A 260-day
sacred year was complete within itself.
The sacred year began and ended on the same days within a 365-day-solar-year. Sacred years of 260-days each were counted
independently. The remaining 105-day
part accumulated during successive years.
The ancients treated days and years of time with a parallel viewpoint.
Beyond 360 days, five-special-days were attached at
the end of the Sun Kingdoms' civil year to complete a year of 365-days (Eqn.
15). The first day following the
five-day span marked the beginning of the next civil year. Religion maintained the five-special-holidays
as adverse, and unlucky for any attempted work.
Five individual gods ruled, one for each day. Sister calendars treated the civil year,
including the five-extra-days similarly.
Apprehensions of avoiding ordinary work on specific holidays were also
implemented in the theologies of the Fertile Crescent.
The Sun Kingdoms’ Calendar tools used here generally relate to the
Mayan version. The Mayans were an
indigenous sub-culture of the surrounding groups. They were the trained priests and nobility of
the locale. Compared to modern society,
the Mayans would be the doctors, lawyers and politicians. The Spanish Conquistadors that dominated
their country in the sixteenth century discovered the elaborate calendar
system. When asked, “Where did the
calendar come from?” The answer was a simple
“Mayan”. This calendar system contained
deviations that spread throughout Central and South America. Sister cultures of the Inca and Aztec people
detail variations on the theme.
The standard year of
360-days was a civil year in the Sun Kingdoms' Calendars. The Mayan Calendar multiplies 18 Uinals of 20-days each for the 360-day-Tun-civil-year (Eqn.
16). The 360-day-Tun-year existed
simultaneously with the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year. Dual calendar years were used to project the
greater time calculations. Five special Wayeb-days more then completed the 365-day-solar-year. Chiefly using picture glyphs, archaeologists
have been able to trace calendar records.
Picture glyphs were the media of written information for the Sun
Kingdoms. Every 20-day period was
represented by a picture glyph of a deity.
The day-number of the period appeared to the left of the glyph. A name was associated with the figure.
The 260-day-Tzolken-sacred
year was segmented into 20 periods of 13-days each. Multiplying 20 periods by 13-days per period
produces the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year (Eqn. 17). Spiritual entities represented every 13-day
period within the Tzolken-sacred-year. A
deity carried the 13-day load to be evenly distributed to everyone. The 360-day-Tun-civil-year, plus the Wayeb-five-day adjustment result in the
365-day-Haab-solar-year (Eqn. 18).
The 360-day-Tun-year and
the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year were expressed with glyphs. Glyphs were carved into stone on the facades
of buildings, temple entrances, and on stele.
Mesoamerican ceremonial centers
are known for their step pyramids.
Comparisons have been made to Egyptian step pyramid construction and the
ziggurats of Mesopotamia. The practice
of carving important events onto stone columns is identical. Positive links can be established through a
broader calendar analysis. History
of the society was written into stone.

Mayan Calendar System
Archeology substantiates the most commonly accepted
mathematics of the Mayan calendar.
Several time periods have been identified and used for numerous
correlations. A correlation specifies a
certain day in our modern Gregorian calendar with a respective day in the Mayan
Calendar.
1 Kin = 1 Day
1 Uinal = 20 Kins = 20 Days
1
Tzolken-Sacred-Year = 260 Days
1 Tun-Year = 18 Uinals = 360 Day-Civil-Year
1 Haab-Year = 365
Days = 1 Solar-Year
1 Katun = 20 Tuns = 7,200 Days= 20
Tun-Years
1 Baktun = 20 Katuns = 144,000 Days = 400 Tun-Years
1 Great Cycle = 5200 Haab-Years of 365 days
The essential kin (kēn) day is counted for 20 kins
in the Uinal (wē năl). There are
18 Uinal periods in the 360-day-tun-year or
360-day-civil-year. A terminal 5-day Wayeb (Vāy ěb) completes the 365-day-haab-year, which is the
common 365-day-solar-year. The
360-day-tun-year (tūn) is independent from the 5
special rest days of the Wayeb.
The day-number and naming language
is used throughout the Mayan Calendar. Mesoamerican
calendars used to dots or circles to represent up to four days. A vertical or horizontal bar then measured
five days. Three bars and four dots
count up to 19 days. A name is assigned
by the following glyph deity. Specific
variations describe glyph pictures with unique meanings that are beyond the
scope of this work. More information is
available at many Mesoamerican websites and libraries.
The 365-day-Haab-year and
260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year combine to form the Sun Kingdoms' calendar 52-year
cycle, or Calendar Round. The 52-year
chronological summit was the cornerstone of the dual calendar system. A complete Calendar Round repeated itself
after 18,980-days. The Calendar Round
52-Tun-civil-years multiply by 360-days to produce 18,720-days (Eqn. 19a). Working like meshed gears,
72-Tzolken-sacred-years of 260-days each multiply to equal the same 18,720-days
(Eqn. 19b,c). Five special holidays in
the Wayeb were preserved every year to add the final
260-days in 52-years of the Calendar Round (Eqn. 20). One extra 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year is
added to 72-sacred-years for 73-Tzolken-sacred-years (Eqn. 21). Multiplying 73-Tzolken-sacred-years by
260-days per sacred year gives the equivalent 18,980-days for a Calendar Round
(Eqn. 22a).
In parallel order,
52-Haab-solar-years of 365-days per year equal exactly the same 18,980-days per
Calendar Round (Eqn. 22b). The Calendar
Round 52-Haab-solar-years equal 73-Tzolken-sacred-years and both equal
18,980-days (Eqn. 22c). The final
260-day-Tzolken sacred-year comes from Wayeb
holidays. The total 52-year Calendar
Round is 18,980-days. By this calendar
system, only once in 52-years would any day of the Tzolken-sacred-year coincide
with any day of the Tun-civil-year. A
complete Calendar Round would restart again the next dual sequence.
Mayans thought the 260-day-Tzolken-year to have four quadrants. Four equal quarters had 65-days each. The Aztecs extend the quadrants to coincide
with their entire universe. Cardinal
points were determined by equinoxes and solstices. North, south, east and west directions were
known.

The stelae were vertical stone historical
markers, inscribed with important social events and often times, the calendar
date. The picture glyphs found on the
stelae usually held the picture of the god with the date written to the left. A single picture glyph for the 13-day period
of the sacred-year, including the day of the period, pinpointed the date in the
260-day-sacred-year. Working like gears,
the dual calendar years enabled exact dates to be identified. Traces of stelae worship may be seen in early
Biblical verses. God admonishes against false idols.
Leviticus 26:1
"Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up
a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to
bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God."
The Bible advises against worship of other gods. We should overthrow other gods, and smash
their sacred pillars into pieces.
Standing stones, as some Bibles
call them, were present along with step pyramids in both Egypt and the Yucatan
Peninsula. God reinforces discontent towards the gods of others.
Exodus 23:24
"Thou shalt not bow down to their gods,
nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt
utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images."
Exodus 34:14
"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God:"
Stelae, sacred pillars and standing
stones are all Biblical terms for the main religious artifact of both Sun
Kingdoms and early Middle Eastern cultures.
Sacred vertical stone pillars had two fundamental purposes. The ancient stone markers symbolized the
standing male phallus. The existence of
man on earth meant erection, and the standing stone. God
in heaven was between the day and night.
Shadow motion cast by the sun was created in God's image. Man was as the
day, and woman was the eve, or night.
Daytime was measured by sighting to the horizon using the standing
stone, or according to motion of the shadow.
The shadow lengthened and shortened during the day, and the solar
position in heaven determined the direction cast by the shadow. Years were measured corresponding to rising
and setting positions on the horizon.
Agriculture of the Fertile Crescent was dependent on the seasons. Planting and harvest times were marked by
annual procession of daytime shadow. El,
El-Shaddai, Elohim, Ba-El, Ba-Al, and Baal were all
principle names connecting the sacred stones.
The Sun Kingdoms erected a stele
every 20 years. Likewise, at the end of
the 400-year Long Count Initial Series, a stele was also built. The 400-year Long Count Initial Series was
the end of the Sun Kingdoms' calendar cycle.
Ceremonial centers such as Chichen Itza contain many ornately carved architectural
features. The temple of the Initial
Series, or the “Group of the Dates”, contains a date written in Old Chichén and another date in abbreviated form that
correspond to the year 879 AD. The Group
of the Thousand Columns in the Maya-Toltec section is magnificent. Six beautifully carved colonnades tell the
story of the people.
Stelae, language and architectural
features support a connection between new and old worlds long ago. Pronunciation is difficult to trace
precisely, yet the Chilan Baalm is a
literary work produced by a Spaniard about the Mesoamerican Indians shortly
after the Spanish conquest. Literally,
the book is "the speech, or mouthpiece, of the gods." In Babylon, we note the masculine god Baal. Baal is called Bel
in the Apocryphal work: The History of
the Destruction of Bel and The Dragon. False gods are vanquished when Daniel defeats
idolatry. King Manasseh did heathen evil
during his fifty-five year reign in Jerusalem (II Chronicles 33:1-3). King
Manasseh II, son of Hezekiah erected "altars for Baalim."
The Code of Hammurabi
was carved onto an eight-foot-tall block of stone (Circa 1,792 B.C.E. + or - 70
years). On this stele, 282 laws set
forth rules for the people to live by, many of which reflected Mosaic Law. In Central and South America, stelae were
carved every 20 years to record important events, such as battles and changes
of leadership. Stelae were great blocks
of stone, found near the step pyramid temples throughout Central and South
America. Known as "sacred
pillars" in Deuteronomy 12:3, II Samuel 18:18, and II Kings 3:2, and other places in the Bible, the graven male image Baal was
symbolic for the standing male phallus.
The female counterpart to Baal was Astrate, or
Asherah, and was often symbolized by a pregnant woman
figurine. The immortal pagan couple, Baalim and Astaroth, was deified
with particular locations of the surrounding villages. Baal was a material, non-portable god fixed
by a stone column at some site. Astaroth, or sometimes Asteroth,
was the fertility consort goddess of neighboring fields and groves (Judges 10:6, I Kings 14:23, and I Kings 15:13).

52-Year Sun Kingdoms' Calendar Round Figure 8
Mesoamerican calendars achieved longer time
projections by using consecutive spans of the 400-year l/s cycle. The Mayan calendar specifically names the
400-year Baktun. The root Tun word is
based upon the 360-day civil type of year and means stone. Prefixes modify multiple Tun-year
lengths. The principle vigesimal base 20 calendar tool results in the Katun after 20-Tun-years.
Since a Tun-year has 360-days, the Katun
measures 7,200-days (Eqn. 23). The
Baktun is the next step up to 20-Katuns.
One Baktun is 400-Tun-years or 144,000-days (Eqn. 24).
The Baktun embodies all introduced calendar
tools. Squaring the 20-year Katun l/s cycle results in the
400-year Baktun l/s cycle. Separation
time is altered from 210-days to 210-years by the same process. Key substitutions replace 400-year Baktuns with the 210-years of l/s separation time. The time split tool divides 210-years to
result in 105-years of solar-side time.
The numerical matching calendar tool combines with replacement
substitution to extend the l/s calendar according to Baktun cycles. Multiples of 400-year Baktuns
allow vast measurements based on lunar/solar reckoning.
Antecedent Olmec writings
from the gulf coast date from 1200 B.C.E. to 600 B.C.E. to influence later
noted Mayan graphics. Zapotecs from central Mexico predated the later Mayan
empire. Traditional Mayan symbolism is
pictured in glyphs dating back to 275 B.C.E.
Base 20 numbering and the relevant finger and toe counting methods are
present. The 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year
was also being used during this time frame.
The Haab 365-day-year joins the Tzolken to create the Calendar Round 200
years later. Evidence that supports a
development phase has not been found.
The 400-year Baktun measure is not widely seen before the 200 A.D.
Classical Mayan era. The lack of a
visible progression leads one to surmise that the Long Count was imported as a
mature calendar tool.
The Great Cycle
The cyclic nature of the Mesoamerican calendar adds
thirteen successive 400-year Baktun periods to achieve the Great Cycle. The Great Cycle of 5200-Tun-years is the
longest known element of the ancient Mayan Calendar. The Great Cycle is directly associated with
the Holy Bible rendering for the genealogy of the Antediluvian
Patriarchs.
The term Long Count refers to time since the Mayan Creation
date, which is actually written 13.0.0.0.0.
The Baktun (400-years) is the most significant left-hand representation
in the Mayan Calendar, followed by Katuns (20-years),
Tuns (360-days), Uinals
(20-days) and Kins (days). Baktuns are usually
numbered from 1 to 13 in the Mayan Calendar Great Cycle. Mayan historians have a dilemma at this
point. The logical starting date of the
Mayan Calendar presumably should fall on 0.0.0.0.0., which is the beginning of
the first 400-year Baktun. Instead, the
authorities measure the Mayan Calendar from the onset of the thirteenth Baktun. Archeologists assume the first Great Cycle
well underway or had already passed by the time the glyphs were inscribed.
Mayans traditionally used a zero
placeholder for their calculations. At
least 13 Baktuns had passed prior to 13.0.0.0.0. One Great Cycle or 13 elapsed Baktuns had occurred before the Mayan Calendar began. The mentioned codices suggest the starting
dates of either 13 August 3114 B.C.E. or 11 August 3114. Sometimes 13 August 3113 B.C.E. is the given
starting date. The Mayan Calendar
starting date of 13.0.0.0.0. was a simple continuation of an earlier
calendar. Most carved stelae date from 9
Baktun to indicate the early classical phase of Mayan chronology. However, there are some 8 Baktuns
and 7 Baktuns that imply later dates were super
imposed over previous dates.
The intention of early Mayan priest-astronomers
was to transfer the working calendar from the southeast Mediterranean coastline
to the new world near the Yucatan Peninsula.
Identical number patterns found in chapter 5 of Genesis are
earmark fragments of the later pre-classical Mesoamerican calendar system. A gap of more than 7 Baktuns,
or 2800-l/s years, through to 9 Baktuns that amount
3600-l/s years is missing from the Mayan Great Cycle scheme.
Characteristics obtained by Mayan
calendar tools serve creative viewpoints.
A correlation between the Mayan Calendar and the Patriarch’s calendar
time is possible. The summit of calendar
research is found with the Great Cycle of Mesoamerica. The Great Cycle is the prime structure to
discover the Holy Bible
calendar. The intact calendar system
began with the oldest Mesopotamian resources.
Maritime travelers resumed the same calendar system near
Mesoamerica. The Great Cycle connects Holy Genesis records with those earliest calendar traces found in
Mesoamerica. The seeds of Abraham are
found throughout the world. Segmented
400-year Baktun cycles and historical traces through religious lore convey
prominently the l/s calendar order.
The Mayan Calendar further develops
the Great Cycle. A Great Cycle consists
of 13 Baktuns, with each Baktun consisting of
400-Tun-years. The Great Cycle has
5200-Tun-years for a total of 1,872,000
Days (Eqn. 28).
Equation 25.

13 Baktuns
=13 X 400-Tun-Years X 360
Day-Tun-Year
= 13 Baktuns
X 144,000 days
= 1,872,000 Days
= 5200 Tun-Years
Note: Great Cycle sometimes
indicates 5200-Haab-Years of 365-Day-Solar-Years.
The treatment of the
5-special-nameless-days each year seems to differ.
The sum of the number of days
specified by this count yields the number of days passed since the beginning of
the last Great Cycle. A great Cycle has
a length of 13 Baktuns. The Thompson correlation suggests that the
last Great Cycle began on 13 August 3114 BC of the modern Gregorian
calendar. Substitution combines the l/s
400-year Baktun cycle with the Great Cycle.
This work extends the 400-year Baktun to even greater time
periods. From Ch. 5 of Genesis,
we have derived the 800-Year Generation
Cycle. Two 400-Year Baktuns add to produce 800-Years of the Generation
Cycle. Two Baktuns
comprise one Generation Cycle. The
Baktun was used in Mesoamerica during Classic times.

Patterns of the ancient Egyptian
Calendar emphasize 365-days of the solar year were identified with a
365-year-solar cycle. Theology of the
Sun Kingdoms duplicated perceptions of time with 365-solar-years. The 365-day-solar-year is numerically matched
and subdivided for the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year component and the 105-day
portion. Dual meanings divide a
365-solar-year cycle for two parts: a divinatory 260-year Tzolken cycle and a
105-year part. The
260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year and 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle were related by
numerical content. The 105-day and
105-year portions were again, parallel members of the same family. The 260-year component is called the
Tzolken-sacred cycle for
purposes of this work. The 105-year
portion completed the 365-year cycle. A
Tzolken-sacred cycle of 260-years reinforced and preserved the 260-day
agricultural sacred year for later descendants.
The 260-day sacred year
became the most integral part of the Sun Kingdoms' ideologies. The sacred year spread while evolving into
the principle time reckoning method.
People were aware of a driving force that moved the sun and stars, and
made all life and times possible. Time
and the conception of a god figure, or many godly essences, were united as
one. Men saw themselves as images of
their forefathers. The Sun Kingdoms'
grew to a religious society, with the primary focus of all worship directed
toward the calendar. Now was an eternal
moment.
In a single year of 365-days,
105-days remain following the 260-day sacred year. The leftover 105-days
are reiterated at the end of a 20-year cycle in the Sun Kingdoms'
Calendar. The twentieth year of the
lunar/solar calendar is the defining mark that cuts 210-days of separation time
in half. The lunar-side time split is
105-days. The solar-side time split is
the complementary 105-days. Two equal
halves of lunar/solar separation time had 105-days each. The twentieth year of the lunar/solar cycle
provides 105-days of solar-side separation time.
The Katun
20-year l/s cycle was the next building block to time
advancement. Twenty 360-day-Tun-years
enabled the Mayans to record leadership activities. The solar-side half 105-days during the last
year of a 20-year l/s cycle numerically match a set 105-day part in the same
year. Sun Kingdoms' Calendars commonly
used numerical matching again to describe these two distinct, recurrent yearly
elements having 260-days and 105-days.
Although an exact equality
between the Sun Kingdoms' Calendars of Mesoamerica and the 19-year l/s calendars
cannot be determined, the probabilities of distant ties are extremely high and
require analysis. The 20- year Katun l/s cycle was multiplied by
itself, or squared, to attain the 400-year Baktun l/s cycle. The Baktun is the most significant number in
Mayan chronology. The Sun Kingdoms'
Calendars were predated by earlier lunar/solar calendars of the Middle
East. Lunar/solar versions of the
calendar system branched to the New World over 4,000 years ago. Absent from the social hostilities and cultural
upheavals of the ancient Middle East, the Sun Calendars were left to develop
empirically on their own. The Sun
Kingdoms' Calendars may be used to trace well into the past. The Mayan Calendar date of 3,113 B.C. comes
from the Dresden Codex, which was compiled by translating stone carvings. A hybrid interpretation of Biblical records
provides correlation to time cycles of the Sun Kingdoms' Calendars. Progression of the genealogies of Adam
coincides with a shift in ages of the pre-flood forefathers, or levels of the
Antediluvian Patriarchs, and the placement of calendar philosophies. Definite agreements are shown as we advance
through the mechanics of the generations of Adam.

The calendar treasures known to Adam bring ancient mankind closer to
us. The heavenly wisdom is far
removed from the hands that once wrote Genesis. Numbers are a universal language. The Holy
Bible text carries original calendar meanings forward to us today. We can now restore that education which was
lost. Foundational insight appropriately
begins with profound knowledge. Jesus Christ alludes to an Old Testament scripture in Psalms when he talks about a rejected
cornerstone in the New Testament. The calendar is the holy property of God. The calendar domain marks the
Alpha and the Omega.
Psalms 118:22
The stone which the builders refused is
become the head stone of the corner.
Given the three major calendars
known to civilization in the extreme past, modern mankind has deciphered enough
information to place those three starting dates at: 3,761 B.C.E. for the Jewish
Calendar, between 4,236 B.C.E. and 4,241 B.C.E. for the Egyptian Calendar and
3,114 B.C.E. for the Mayan or sister calendars of the Sun Kingdoms. Critical analysis of those three calendar
systems allows a hybrid approach to the oldest trunk line of calendar science
and penetration into the most distant reaches of human existence. Understood and revered to be the voice and Holy Word of God, the Bible chronicles the precise ages for
the eras of the ancestral line of Adam.
Practical application of basic mathematics used with the world's oldest
calendars systematically unveils answers to the intricate riddle of all time.
The halving, doubling, and
dividing of time involved with the calendar records of Adam permit
reconstruction of these oldest, written meanings known to the world. Masculine and feminine duality channeled
humankind down through the listed eras.
The patriarchal side of man's order was deified in the afterlife,
whereupon the ruler aligned himself with the angelic host. Succeeding offspring were measured according
to their linear life span, having a primary age until fathering the next named
character, to finally the end of life in the secondary age. The solar-side half of lunar/solar separation
time was employed to specify primary age durations that existed for a king, or
leader, his village or country of rule, and those inhabitants thereof. Woven into the calendar was the primitive
theology of the standing stone or sacred pillar of the leader's male image
(fig. 9). The vertical stone marker was
a consistent standard to mark solar, daytime positions on the horizon, while
the feminine, lunar side of time happened at night. Lunar phases were observed for light and
shadow, or darkness seen for the moon.
All times within the
greater 20-year, and 400-year, cycles principally belonged to the leader. In life and death, citizens were subordinate
to the ruler's ancestral line.
Significant stepped multiples of 20 are manifest by the
360-day-Tun-year. The following step is
the 20 times greater Katun. Lunar/solar separation time substitutes
210-days for 20-Katun-years. Another
step establishes the 400-year Baktun building block. Substitution assigns 210-years of l/s
separation to stand for one Baktun cycle.
The time split tool applies 105-years of solar-side reckoning for the
Baktun. The authority of scripture
enables the Mayan Baktun to connect with Jewish Calendar analysis.

A Mayan 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year
is fundamental to the genealogy of the Biblical Adam. Throughout the lineage of Adam, days and
years are paired together. The words:
"And all the days of .... were .... years," show
measurement of the same thing, time. By
adhering to the ancient calendar system, a Mesoamerican 260-day-sacred-year is
divided in half to arrive at 130 days (Eqn. 27).” Parallel use of the 260-day-sacred-year forms
the basis for the 260-year-sacred-cycle.
Similar to dividing the 260-day-sacred-year in half, a
260-year-sacred-cycle is divided in half to get 130-years (Eqn. 28).

The calendar of Adam generically
supports the Hebrew meaning of Man.
Biblical ages given for Adam, and the Antediluvian Patriarchs following,
include both primary and secondary age categories. Time measured from birth of the named father
until begetting the next character is the primary age listed for the
character's lifetime. Primary ages are a
category of time measures. Primary ages
listed provide lunar/solar divisions that are halved in order to separate the
next primary age. Sacred years of 260-days and 360-day types of years describe
intersections of lunar/solar time reckoning with halves, and quarters, of a
260-year sacred cycle. Primary ages for
Adam and Seth are recorded in 360-day lengths of years, and alternate with
260-day sacred years of Enos and Cainan.
A reverse alternation back to 360-day lengths of years is found for Mahalaleel, Jared, and Enoch.
Secondary ages comprise the time
measured from birth of the next son until the death of the father. Secondary ages form a category relevant to
the primary age category. Secondary ages
include 800-year cycles as shown by Adam and
Jared. Secondary 800-year ages are
repeated throughout the other secondary ages.
To apply a tool, the translated word "Generation" has two
kinds of meanings. From the Hebrew toledah,
"Generation" can mean a long, indefinite time span, or a firm number
of years. Usage of
"Generation" depends on the surrounding context. In the case of Abraham, the fourth generation
was 400 years, and the age of the man when his first son was born (Genesis 15:13, 16). The Jewish Calendar has always focused upon
lunar/solar calendar cycles.
This work will use the term 800-year
Generation Cycle to mean two separate 400-year Baktuns
together. The Generation Cycle was
paramount to the secondary age category in the lineage of Adam. Generation Cycles having 800-years held that
place value through all characters. The
800-year Generation Cycle is a complete term that appears for secondary
ages. Notion of the seed of Abraham is
directly tied to the Sun Calendars' 400-year Baktun cycle. The doubled Baktun results in 800-year
Generation Cycles seen in the secondary age category. Ancient Jewish intent for the 800-year
Generation Cycle(s) further serves to excavate the gemstones of Bible knowledge.
Early Hebrew calendars describe the eras of Adam,
Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared and Enoch. Two 400-year Baktun cycles are one Generation
cycle. The Great Cycle pattern proves
mutual traits with the Sun Kingdoms' Calendars of Mesoamerica. The Mayan Great Cycle of 13 Baktuns resulted in 5200-years. The secondary age category represents a
Baktun pair for each character in the table below through Jared. Enoch adds the last of 13 Baktuns
in the Great Cycle.

Tracing backwards from the 365-year
age of Enoch, we pass through seven distinct Patriarchal layers of time. Creationists can apply ancient calendar science
to better know the ancestry recorded for Adam.
Original calendar systems discover the oldest trunk line of time
reckoning and recording. The three
oldest major calendars give us hybrid insight about early civilization. The Patriarchs knew astronomy, mathematics,
and entwined early theology with time.
From Genesis 5:3 onward,
these characters were the forefathers of mankind. In every Holy Bible that we can pick
up and read, these numbers are always the same.
Adam's era started recording the calendar.
The primary 130-year age of Adam is
gained directly from the words of the Holy
Bible. Primary ages span from the
onset of each Biblical character until the age he begat the next named
Patriarch. Evidence of a 130-year period
is seen in the primary 130-year age of Adam.
The primary 130-year age of Adam begins a 260-year Sacred Cycle. Numerical matching by reason of the
260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year constructs the 260-year Sacred Cycle in primary age
category. The divinatory pattern of the
Tzolken is expressed in terms of 360-day-Tun-years. Dual actions of 52-year Calendar Round are
evident for the 5200-year Great Cycle.
The 260-year Sacred Cycle multiplies by 72 to attain 18,720-years. The Great Cycle is exactly 100 times
greater. The Great Cycle consists of 13 Baktuns x 400-Tun-years x 360-days, which equal
1,872,000-days.

See Genesis 5:5
Figure 11 above describes
365-days in the year, and the numerical match having 365-years in a cycle. An ordinary 365-day-solar-year separates into
the 260-day-sacred-year component and the 105-day portion as represented in
figure 11. Likewise, a 365-year-cycle
has both the 260-year-sacred-cycle and 105-year components. The 260-day-sacred-year divides for two
halves, each with 130-days. The
260-year-sacred-cycle also divides for two identical 130-year portions. Regarding the 365-day-solar-year, 105-days
remain and for the 365-year-cycle, 105-years remain. (Eqn. 29 and 30).
We have added three more powerful
calendar tools:
·
The 260-year-Sacred-Cycle is based on numerical
matching from the Mesoamerican calendar systems.
·
The 400-year Mesoamerican Baktun l/s cycle links
with the scriptural Generation term.
·
An 800-year Generation Cycle results by doubling
the 400-year Baktun l/s cycle.
Primary age divisions intersect
with secondary age steps. The secondary
age category is a sequence numbering 1 to 13 increments of the 400-year-Baktun-cycle. One pair of 400-year-Baktun-cycles counts
800-years for each Generation Cycle.
Generations of Seth, Enos, Cainan, and Mahalaleel
and Jared include the standard secondary 800-year Generation Cycle repeating
age. The calendar strata pattern
concludes with Enoch's progression to translation during the last thirteenth
400-year-Baktun-cycle. A shift to
primary-age sacred-years divides the 360-sacred-year-period into halves for
later generations of Methuselah and Lamech. The chronology of ten generations in the
lineage of Adam correlates with ancient calendar methods leading up to the
Great Flood era.
One should remember that strict
Judaism refers to Before Common Era whenever the Jewish Calendar is used with B.C.E
initials relevant to the Gregorian Calendar.
The traditional Jewish Calendar counts forward in linear order from the
Creation year 1. The linear ages of the
Antediluvian Patriarchs, plus progression through the life of Noah, amount
2,105 years at the Deluge. Another 1,656
years add to reach the first year of the Julian Calendar, thus 3,761 B.C.E. is
the Jewish Calendar date for Creation.
Modifications to the Roman Julian Calendar reach the A.D. Gregorian
Calendar of today. The Jewish Calendar
places the deluge of Noah at 2,105 B.C.E. and estimates Creation to have
occurred 5,766 years ago in 2,005.
Rabbi Hillel
II introduced the present standardized version of the Jewish Calendar in 359
C.E, for Common Era, to 360 C.E. The
spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire brought persecution to many
Jewish believers. Romans established
Christianity alongside the Julian Calendar.
There are several accepted Bible chronologies. Most chronologies place the Deluge before
2000 B.C.E. and the Exodus between 1,460 B.C.E. and 1,470 B.C.E. This work emphasizes the derivation and use
of lunar/solar calendars rather than revising those existing chronologies. The birth of Noah was 600 years before the
Great Flood, or about 2,700 B.C.E.
Regressing by 800-year segments for each of nine previous generations
commences the initial dating of the calendar sequence referenced by Adam to be
about 10,000 B.C.E., or roughly 12,000 years ago or more. As a floating-king-list chronology, beginning
or ending dates are ambiguous according to Gregorian calendar reckoning.
The variance is similar to that
used for tree ring dating of petrified remains.
Measured by cross-sectional viewing, tree rings add seasonal years
outward from the center of the trunk by layers.
Archaeology determines the estimated boundaries employed for start and
finish times, while tree ring analysis provides additional information
regarding climatic conditions during a more precise time span. Biblical chronology of the pre-Deluge
ancestors is more accurate by adjusting the vast floating period within the
framework of primitive agriculture and ending with the flooding stages of
Mesopotamia. During the calendar eras of
Adam, the seven-day week divisions were set by lunar phases, and rounded 30-day
monthly cycles provided formative lunar calendars. Early religious philosophies and calendar use
document a theme in the Book of Genesis.
The Mesoamerican Baktun 400-year
l/s cycle likely relocated to the Yucatan Peninsular around 2800 B.C.E. Egyptologists have found remains of ocean
going vessels that date earlier. Stelae,
stepped pyramids and the lunar/solar calendar parallels all indicate some
cultural transference took place.
The primary 130-year age of Adam is
the foremost bridge joining the age of Adam to the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Other parallels exist between the Biblical
genealogy of Adam through to Noah and the numerical time computations of the
ancient Sun Kingdoms' Calendars. Clear
patterns demonstrate the relationship between chronologies of Genesis with the Mesoamerican
Calendars. Parallel trends numerically
match days and years for the generations of Adam. Figure 11 indicates the triune components
found with 365-days in the year, and the identical three-way numbering of
365-years. Ancient 260-day-sacred-years
so often seen in the carvings, and idioms of the Mesoamericans, directly
embellish use of the 260-year-sacred-cycle.
Time splitting after 130-days cleaves the 260-day-sacred-year into equal
halves. Numerically matched, the 260-year-sacred-cycle
separates for equal halves after 130-years.
Figure 11 shows matched days and
years. The upper right pie subdivision
of figure 11 represents the daylight 130-day and 130-year dual units of
time. An opposite 130-day and 130-year
left side half is shaded to mature the entire 260-day-sacred-year. The figure shows a 260-year-sacred-cycle in
similar fashion. The whole 365-day-solar-year subtracts 260-days of a
sacred-year. The complete 365-year series
subtracts a 260-year-sacred-cycle under the circle diagram. At the bottom of the graph, 105-days and the
matched 105-year elements, finalize the 365-day and 365-year durations,
respectively.

Consider the posture of Adam's
calendar age amongst the many theological doctrines that are now at our
service. Two significant topics are open
for further discussion and inquiries. In
the first viewpoint, the same almighty God that created Adam disseminated
calendar information to Adam as ordained principle. Secondly, conjecture rationalizes that the
man, Adam, developed the complex calendar order on his own merit. Most provoking is the latent question we are
forced to grapple with -- how long did it take to adopt an accurate calendar of
this magnitude and array? Arbitration
includes that time keeping by lunar/solar recording process held paramount
importance with farming disciplines.
Albeit a conservative estimate, we
must accept that ingrained 800-year Generation Cycles, along with the required
astronomy, mathematics, and communication skills were necessary to transfer
such astonishing information down through the society. Any time scale of these epic proportions
surely must expound a people with remarkable abilities, and far in excess of
present agreements for prehistoric man in the absolute. The ages recorded for Adam and his
descendants underline a culture that we can barely begin to fathom. Endowed to early man was amazing understanding
indeed. These people were far beyond
what evolution of the species seems to suggest.
Intelligence is an adaptive process rather than a gradual production.
Greek writings that regress the
1,460-year Sothic cycle are the basis for Egyptian chronology that begins
between 4,241 B.C.E. and 4,236 B.C.E.
Dates for the Exodus and Ramses II support
accepted chronologies. Egyptologists are
certain that the Egyptian star and solar-side calendar had a lunar-side
counterpart. The Egyptian solar calendar
and the Enochian calendar might be far older. Introduction of Mesoamerican Calendar
patterns is a novel approach to chronology.
The three ancient calendars braid
together to strongly encourage viewpoints of Creationism. Those that wrote this knowledge down, so that
it appears in our Bibles today, were
smart enough to prove a quite articulate calendar system was already in place
at the onset of Adam's 130-year primary age.
Furthermore, they may have explored and exposed themselves to other
possibilities of time and spatial relationships that we have not yet
realized. Treat these items of calendar
research with respect and caution since the overall impact on religion or
science cannot be fully determined. Many
accepted scientific facts reflect prevailing opinions, which may construed as
testimony. The Word uses testimony to speak to society.
The blunt interpretation is “if it
looks like a duck, quacks like duck, and walks like a duck…it probably is a
duck.” The calendar numbers written are
about time in the common vocabulary and understandings of ancient people. They thought of time as consisting of cyclic,
recurrent phenomena. Threads of time
symbolically link birth, life and death coincidental with archaic calendar
observation. Supernatural attributes of
calendar study may lend new future uses.
Consensus testimony then defines the social profit.
The Bible is always a known reference for historical and mystical
events. Believers acknowledge that the Lord is the final say. We examine major or minor experiences in
order to know Him better. Common denominators exist to tie evidence
with testimony. The Old Testament preserves important revelations with the
calendar. In the New Testament, again we see careful mention of precise time
references. Miracles by Jesus attach deeply with Jewish
holidays. Jesus has been called the second Adam (Luke 3:38).
Figure 11 shows the divided
relationship of the independent 260-day-sacred-year. Numerical matching permits the single term having
130-days-and-years to describe the primary age of Adam. The right half represents the visible portion
of 130-days and 130-years assigned to Adam within the 260-day-sacred-year and
260-year-sacred-year. Contrasting the
primary age of Adam was the shaded portion on the left portion of figure
11. Lunar/solar calendars distinguished
between daylight-solar-side and night-lunar-side intervals of time. Like the 260-day-sacred-year, two halves of
130-years together specified the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Later sequences based on lunar/solar
separation times bisect time measurements for the values of 260-days and
260-years.
Genesis 5:3 quotes the primary age of Adam verbatim for the circle
drawn in figure 11. Calendar recording
thousands of years ago employed complex mathematics and astronomy. Establishing the prototype divisions of
bisected 260-day and 260-year intervals directly exemplifies lunar/solar
separation times. Years of 360-days each
differentiate from 260-day-sacred-years.
The lower portion of figure 11 shows 105-days and 105-years to be the
remaining time.
Genesis 5:6 quotes the primary age of Seth verbatim for figure
11. The single numerical term introduces
the 105-year primary age of Seth.
