Ages of Adam

Ancient Calendars of the Holy Bible

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.


Author Testimony

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.


Moon as the Earliest Calendar

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 Equations

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.


Equations

1. 29.5 Days per Lunar Month
 x 12 Lunar Months
 = 354 Days per Lunar Year

2. 365 Days per Solar Year
 - 354 Days per Lunar Year
 = 11 Days of Lunar/Solar Separation Time per
 Lunar/Solar Calendar Year

3. 11 Days of Separation per Lunar/Solar Calendar Year

 = 209 Days of Separation per
 19-Year Lunar/Solar Calendar Cycle

 Approximates to 210 Days of Separation
 per 20-Year Lunar/Solar Calendar Cycle

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.

 
Jewish Calendar Sacred and Civil Years

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.

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.

Seven Intercalary Months

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).

 
360 Day Midpoint Between Lunar/Solar Years

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.

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.

210-Day L/S Time Split for a 20-Year 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.

Ancient Egyptian Calendar

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. 13). 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 6 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.

1,461-Year Sothic Cycle

Equation 13.

13.  1,461-Year Sothic Cycle
=  4 Cycles x 365 Years per Cycle x 365.25 Days per Year
= 1460 Years x 365.25 Days per Year
= 1460 Years x (365 Days per Year + 0.25 Days 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 Calendar 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 ofstone 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).


The calendar toolbox inventory now includes:
  • God is "between" the Day and Night.
  • Origins of the lunar phases and the seven-day-week.
  • Basic applications of the 19-year Jewish l/s calendaradapts the 19-year Metonic Cycle.
  • The Jewish Calendar celebrates holidays and festivals according to Mosaic law and other traditions.
  • The time split tool divides a larger set time into equal halves for independent computations.
  • An approximate 209-days of l/s separation time split describes the ancient 19-year l/s calendar cycle.
  • Similar l/s calendars systems approximated the common 19-year l/s cycle to be a 20-year l/s cycle.
  • The same approximations validate 209-days of l/s to be 210-days of l/s for a given 20-year l/s cycle.
  • The time split tool that equally divides 210-days into the lunar-side 105-days and the solar-side 105-days.
  • The 20-year cycle was multiplied by itself to gain the l/s 400-years cycle.
  • Numerical matching is used to match X-number of days with X-number of years or X-number of cycles.
  • By squaring time, 210-days of l/s separation time split became 210-years of l/s separation time split.
  • The Egyptian Calendar counted four passes of 365 years to make 1,461 years. A single year of leap days culminated that Sothic Cycle in 1,461 years.
  • The South American Sun Kingdom's Calendars used a day-number sequence to describe the 260-day-sacred year.
  • The Mayan Calendar Round consisted of dual cycles. The Calendar Round is a product of 73-Tzolken-sacred-years times the 260-day-sacred-year.
  • The equivalent 52 Haab-years of 365 days totals for 18,980 days in the Calendar Round.

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. 25). Some historians interchangeably assign the Great Cycle to indicate 5200-Haab-Years of 365-Day-Solar-Years. The treatment of the 5-special-nameless-days each year seems to differ.

Equation 25.
Great Cycle = 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

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.

Equation 26.
800-Year Generation Cycle = 2 Baktuns
= 2 X 400-Tun-Years of 360-Days
= 800-Tun-Years

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.

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. Numbers are a universal language. The Holy Bible text carries original calendar meanings forward to us today. The heavenly wisdom is far removed from the hands that once wrote Genesis. 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).

Calendar records carved into stone columns were predominant for Mesoamerican cultures. Near Eastern script included carvings and painted king list variations. Mosaic Law is one example of engraving upon stone tablets. In Egypt, the cuneiform style in later times told elaborate mythology.

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.

Primary 130-Year Age of Adam

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 exploits the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year to construct the 260-year- Tzolken-sacred-cycle in the primary age category. The divinatory pattern of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle makes use of 360-day-Tun-years. Dual actions of the 52-year Calendar Round are evident for the 5200-year Great Cycle. The Great Cycle is exactly 100 times greater than the Calendar Round. The 260-year- Tzolken-sacred-cycle divides first by the primary age of Adam. Later members of the Patriarchal family then quarter the 260-year-sacred-cycle.

See Genesis 5:5 revised text p. 74-75

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. Seth is the first recorded character after Adam in the lineage. The interesting scriptures omit famed Abel and Cain from the calendar records. Cain killed Abel, the first-born son (Gen. 4:8). Seth was the appointed seed to replace Abel. Seth would have been heir to all rights and responsibilities of the first-born son. Significant calendar times assigned eras to monarchy and deities. Note the lunar/solar design applies to Mesoamerican calendars.

Figure 12 below shows that a shaded 130-year is half of a 260-year-sacred-cycle. Tools from the Sun Kingdoms' Calendars verify 130-years correlate with the primary 130-year age of Adam. The midpoint 360-day-year was the chosen standard practice to center the year between lunar years of 354-days or 355-days, and 365-day-solar-years. The 360-day midpoint length of year dominates the ages recorded for Adam's line of descendants. Figure 12 is equivalent to the figure 11 primary 130-year age of Adam that uses 360-days per year.

Jewish and Egyptian calendars key upon use of a 360-day type of year. The phrase: "years of years" enabled ancient lunar/solar calendars to extend with 360-years in midpoint kind of yearly cycle. A 19-year, or 20-year l/s cycle, admitted 105-days of lunar-side intercalary time split to reach the perfect center. Another 105-day of intercalary solar-side time split finalized the l/s cycle. The Jewish Calendar inserts 7 months, whereas the Egyptian Calendar aligns more with Mesoamerican calendars. The Katun 20-year l/s cycle amounts 105-days for the solar-side time split.

Genesis 5:3
"And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness,
after his image; and called his name Seth:"
To explain the calendar system used for recording ages involving Adam and Seth, the same pattern must apply to the later generations of Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, and Enoch. Attention to the 260-day-sacred-year inspired mathematical disciplines found in the extreme past calendars. Conversions are required to allow reconstruction of this very ancient form of calendar. Exchanging 365-day-solar-years with 260-day-sacred-years includes the idea of using 360-day lengths of years. The Egyptians and the Mesoamericans added a special period having 5-feast-days to finish the 365-day-solar-year. Recall the 5-day Wayeb feast period adds the last of 73-sacred-years in the 52-year Mayan Calendar Round. There would also be 73 Katun 20-year l/s cycles in a Sothic Cycle having 1,460 years (Eqn. 31). The ultimate riddle of time combines 260-day-Tzolken sacred-years with 360-day-Tun-years. Numerical matching specifically applies to key time cycles of the Bible, Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendars.

Numerical matching relates a middle position having 360-day-years with a cycle having 360-sacred-years. The given primary 130-year age of Adam is in 360-day lengths of years. Written expressions of an impressive culture discover conversions from 360-day-years to 260-day-sacred-years. A conversion is necessary from years having 360-days each to 260-day-sacred-years. The primary 130-year age of Adam multiplies by 360-day-Tun-years to find the equivalent 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year units.

Figure 13 is the mathematical equivalent diagram for showing the primary 130-year age of Adam in terms of 260-day-sacred-years. Exchanges between 360-day-Tun-years and 260-day-sacred-years are needed to progress through the genealogy of Adam. Dual units of measurement are the pedestal of the Mesoamerican 52-year Calendar Round.

Converted 180-Sacred-Year Primary Age of Adam

Conversion of 130-years to sacred-years incorporates finding the total days of the primary age, and dividing by 260-day-sacred-years. The 260-day-sacred-year always holds constant. The remarks below determine the mathematical equivalency of a primary 130-year age, written for Adam, and bisecting 260-years in a sacred cycle. The 260-year-sacred-cycle is equal to the converted 360-sacred-years. The time split tool divides the 260-year-sacred-cycle into halves. The result is the same number of days in the converted 180-sacred-years. The 360-day length of year and 360-sacred-year-cycle embody the rules for conversions.

Figure 13 imitates the figure 12 circle diagram by multiplying 130-years of 360-days to achieve 46,800-days (Eqn. 32). Conversion to 180-sacred-years finishes with dividing 260-day-sacred-years into 46,800 days (Eqn. 33). On the right-hand side of figure 13, the converted primary 180-sacred-year age equates to half of a 360-sacred-year-cycle having 260-day-sacred-years.

The ability to calculate the number of 260-day-sacred-years enriches the same calendar format for various cultures. Different intercalation methods following the 360-day midpoint type of year apply l/s reckoning. In the case of Judaism, a portable lunar-side system intercalated days based upon lunar months. Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendars adapted lunar reckoning to add solar-side days to the end of 360-days per year. The exact method of intercalation may have been inconsistent. The 360-day midpoint type is a general rule of thumb. Distinct areas and the popular method of intercalation was a result of prevailing worship and opinions. Calendar fragments survive embedded in the Bible, mythology and tradition.

We are able to convert different lengths of years into 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-years by the same formula. For example, multiplying 130-years by the adjustable length of days per year alters the sacred-year age. Half of the 260-year-sacred-cycle results in 130-years multiplying by 364-days per year for 47,320 days (Eqn. 34). Dividing by the constant 260-day-sacred-year will convert 130-years to 182-sacred years when the given length of year changes to 364 days (Eqn. 35). A year of 365-days multiplies by 130-years for 47,450-days (Eqn. 36). The identical process divides again by the constant 260-day-sacred-years to convert 130-years to 182.5-sacred-years (Eqn. 37). Examining numerical values of the chronology is more flexible through conversions for different lengths of years.

Substitutions involving lunar/solar numbers are another useful tool to help describe the lineage following Adam. The Katun 20-year l/s cycle resulted in 210-days of lunar/solar separation time. The solar-side component is 105-days. The 20-year Katun l/s cycle squares to achieve a Baktun 400-year l/s cycle. The outcome of a 400-year Baktun l/s cycle is 210-years of lunar/solar separation time. Identical techniques of numerical matching allow substituting 210-years of lunar/solar separation time or 105-years of solar-side time split for every 400-year Baktun l/s cycle. The substitution concept defines the exact placement of l/s Baktun cycles regarding the secondary age category.

Doubling the 400-year-Baktun-cycle attains 800-years in the Generation cycle. Lunar/solar separation time likewise doubles from 210-years to 420-years for every 800-year Generation cycle. The same approach doubles the half values of solar-side time split from 105-years to 210-years-solar-side time split. Supplemental stages for the Patriarchs later add finite terms to the total l/s progression.

The sequence of lunar/solar calendar operations for the Antediluvian Patriarchs begins with Adam. There are seven sacred time seals. The primary 130-year age of Adam first halves the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The first 400-year-Baktun l/s cycle in the secondary age category produces 210-years of lunar/solar separation time. The comparative first 105-years of solar-side time split substitutes for the first Baktun 400-year l/s cycle. The second 400-year-Baktun l/s cycle adds 105-years more of solar-side time split. Two 400-year-Baktun l/s cycles constitute one 800-year Generation Cycle. The secondary age category for Adam is one 800-year Generation Cycle. The corresponding solar-side time split total is 210-years.

Seth is the second Antediluvian Patriarch after Adam. All subsequent characters after Adam derive their primary age category values by halving earlier l/s ages. Lunar/solar substitutions follow traditional math guidelines. The first 800-year Generation Cycle completes the secondary age category for Adam and the first sacred time seal. Two Mayan 400-year-Baktun l/s cycles attain 210-years of solar-side time split. The transition to Seth then halves 210-years to gain the primary 105-year age of Seth.

The lineage from Adam to Enoch in Genesis 5:3 consists of seven named characters. Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared and Enoch express lunar/solar calendar origins. The ages for each named character document the oldest calendar records of humanity. Lunar/solar calendar tools such as numerical matching, total l/s separation times and the time split tool inclusively serve our purpose in analyzing the genealogy ages following Adam. Essential patterns from the Mesoamerican calendar system include both 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-years and 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycles. Exchange calculations to 360-day midpoint types of years, 364-day-years and the standard 365-day-solar-year augment our ability to decode the ancient calendar.

Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel and Jared each list two specific ages. The primary age measures from birth to fatherhood. The secondary age measures from fatherhood, or birth of the next named son, until death. Two categories facilitate individual treatment for each named character in the l/s calendar chain. Primary ages constitute one category and secondary ages form the latter category.

Terminology employed identifies components of lunar/solar calendars. The primary age category from Adam to Jared refers to key divisions of the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Specific Bible ages do not sum, or total, until the 260-year-sacred-cycle is complete. Lunar/solar separation times alternate with halves and quarters of the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Adam first halves the 260-year-sacred-cycle with 130-years in the primary age category. The solar-side separation time is the cumulative solar-side separation for two 400-year-Baktun-cycles. Two 210-year lunar/solar separations amount 420-years of l/s separation time for Seth. The result is 210-years of solar-side time split. The next generation of Seth halves 210-years of solar-side time split to produce 105-years of solar-side time split in the same primary age category.

Baktun 400-year cycles increment the secondary age category in steps. The first 400-year-Baktun-cycle by Adam signifies a l/s reference that defines the solar-side time split by Seth. The second 400-year-Baktun-cycle of Adam's  800-year-Generation-cycle indicates the first half of the 260-year-sacred-cycle, which is 130-years. Seth's third 400-year-Baktun-cycle in the secondary age category divides 210-years of solar-side time split into equal 105-year halves. The fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle by Seth in the secondary age category completes two 105-year halves of solar-side separation time split in the primary age category.

 
Primary 105-Year Age of Seth
Genesis 5:6 provides the primary 105 year age of Seth.
"And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:"


The primary 105-year age of Seth completes the 365-year calendar pattern. Seth (Seti) was 105 years old at the time of fathering Enos, the next "begat" descendant of Adam. Figure 11 shows that 365-day-solar-years numerically match 365-year-solar-cycles. Seth's 105-year primary age numerically matches with 105 days in a 365-day long year.

The 100-years of difference between a 260-year-sacred-cycle and a 360-year period imply that 105-years in the primary age of Seth parallels a related number of days. Seth's primary age of 100-years, plus five-years, emphasizes association of days and years in a single numerical term and connects the two time intervals in the extreme past. "And all the days of .... were .... years" excerpts agreement between archaic Jewish and Egyptian calendars. Jewish calendar years for the Antediluvian Patriarchs associate by numerical content days and years with the Egyptian Sothic Cycle.

The personified Seth of the Bible illustrates certain elements of an Egyptian mythological deity. Seth ties the primary age of the Patriarchs listed to Sothic Calendar dating as the founder of lunar/solar time keeping methods. The Abydos triad consisted of Osirus, his sister and consort goddess Isis and their son Horus. Seth was the brother of the fertility god, Osiris. Much of the known mythology survives from papyrus texts following Pre-Dynastic Egypt, which ends about 3,100 B.C.E. Chronographers rely upon significant cross-references for Old Testament dating. Mesoamerican calendars superimpose patterns over the ancient legend.

The Seth of Egyptian lore murdered Osirus. A bitter rivalry ensued between Seth and Horus over inheritance. Seth fought to control his birthright Upper Egypt of the Old Kingdom. Horus was the first-born son of Osirus and claimed to be the heir apparent. Horus, often identified with king Menes, ultimately defeated Seth and united Upper and Lower Egypt. Some versions of the story say that Horus avenged his father's death by killing Seth. Seth and Horus finally reconcile in other versions. Semitic Baal weighs against Seth for Egyptians and his female counterpart, Nephthys is a variant of the goddess, Astarte or Astaroth. Osiris becomes a god who presides in judgment before sin confessions of the dead. Horus rules as a benevolent god for the living.

The rightful heir of the first-born son and the brotherly conflict are pieces of the scripture calendar puzzle. Osirus is the son of earth-god Geb and the sky-goddess Nut. Egyptian mythology resurrects Osirus from 14 parts to teach agricultural skills. Nut has lover named Thoth. In a game, Thoth wins 1/72 of the moon every day from her. Thoth combines the 72-lunar-parts into 5-days and adds them to the original Egyptian calendar of 360-days.

Nighttime, underworld relationships of Osirus with the moon is indisputable. Measuring 14-lunar-parts in two weeks reveals returning lunar visibility. Osirus returns to hear cries from the underworld once again. Lunar months measure the growing and harvest times of the year.

Mesoamerican calendars reiterate Thoth's lunar collections. Both Egyptian and Mayan Calendars commonly include 5-special-days of feasting. The 52-year Calendar Round consists of 73-sacred-years. One final sacred-year results after 72-sacred-years from the difference between 365-day-Haab-years and 360-day-Tun-years.

The 360-day midpoint length of year was a standard that fell midway between a 12-month-lunar-year and the 365-day-solar-year. Five special feast days add to a 360-day length of year. The primary age of Seth is 100-years with 5-years extra that bear special place-value significance. Seth's primary age adds 100-years to a 260-year sacred cycle in order to achieve the 360-year midpoint length of year. Five special years add to complete the 365-year combination that includes both primary ages of Adam and Seth. According to Eidemann's Commentary on the Bible, we note mention taken from the Exegesis that written information was literally on the columns of Seth.

Lunar/solar calendar tools prove useful in evaluating the primary 105-year age of Seth. Precious knowledge from the Mesoamerican calendars opens new validity for using the time split tool and numerical matching. The time split tool divides a 260-year-sacred-cycle in figures 12 and 13. The primary 130-year age of Adam results as we reconstruct the lunar/solar calendar. Numerical matching days and years is the calendar tool that helps define ages for Adam and his son, Seth. From the time of Adam's beginning to the age that he "begat" Seth, we have 130-days and 130-years in the designated primary age of Adam. A 260-day-sacred-year and 260-year-sacred-cycle are Mesoamerican components. The upper right pie subdivision of figure 12 represents the parallel theme of 130-day and 130-year dual units of time.

The graph indicates three intervals that complete 365-days-and-years in a single numerical term. Primary ages for Adam and Seth utilize 365-days that confirm the 260-day-sacred year. In the same manner, 365-years were a numerical model using the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The final 105-years complete a 365-year-solar-cycle following the 260-year-sacred-cycle.

The splitting of time continues with the next layer of calendar progression. Numerical matching was again evident. A 20-year lunar/solar calendar is the source that yields 210-days of lunar/solar separation time. The time split applies to divide 210-days of the 20-year l/s cycle into 105-day halves. The lunar-side and solar-time splits are 105-days each. Seth's primary age 105-days and years is a single numerical term. The 20-year l/s cycle reinforces 105-days following 260-days with another 105-day solar-side time split.

An analogy of tossing a stone into a quiet pond may describe concentric cycles of time. Ancients viewed time as ever widening circles. The primary 130-year age of Adam is the center point where the stone strikes the pond. Waves radiate outward exactly as time expands for a lunar/solar calendar. Significant waves are the month, year, 20-years and the 400-year Mesoamerican calendar cycles.

Reasoning follows that similar time split treatments apply when the lunar/solar calendar expands. A Mayan Baktun encompasses 400-years in a greater lunar/solar cycle. Figure 14 discovers the next time split level of calendar strata. The Sun Kingdoms' Calendars used 400-year l/s cycles to record separation times. The 20-year cycle of figure 5 extends for 20 multiples of 20-year cycles, or 400-years in figure 14 (Eqn. 38). Each 400-year period is a single Mayan Baktun. The right-hand side shows the solar-side time split of a 400-year Baktun. The lunar-side of the 400-year Baktun period appears on the left. Repeating 360-day midpoint lengths of years 20 times 20-years each attains 210-years of lunar/solar separation time. Lunar-side and solar-side time splits amount 105-days each (Eqn. 39 and 40). The same rules for figuring lunar/solar separation apply by squaring time. The primary 105-year age of Seth reinforces 105-days.

The 400-year Baktun in figure 14 centers the midpoint 360-years to specify lunar/solar separation time. Lunar/solar separation returns 210-years to be time split in half. The left-hand 105-years assign to the feminine half of lunar/solar separation (Eqn. 40). A solar-side time split 105-years is on the right-hand side. The summary assigns 105-years solar-side reckoning to the masculine half of lunar/solar separation time (Eqn. 39). The 400-year Baktun is instrumental to the secondary age category. By this token, 360-years are the midpoint between 354.75-years of lunar-side time and 365.25-years of solar-side time. Figure 14 rounds to the whole numbers 354-lunar-years and 365-solar-years for consistency.

Suppose you are one of the people recording the sky events. Modern chronology puts the date at 4,000 B.C.E. Since you are making the first calendar, you do not have any previous information to go by. There is no technology. There are no fancy computers to make calculations or store anything. There are no watches or telescopes to make your job any easier. You are busy trying to eek out a living from the soil. Your family needs to know when to plant seeds for crops, expect the rainy season and when to harvest. Your family is fortunate enough to raise a few cows and some sheep. Science tells us the life expectancy for people back then was maybe 35 years old.

At the age of fifteen, your father hands you the book of the holy writings. He tells you to watch carefully the positions of the moon and stars and to write them down. Every night you watch the moon change with the lunar phases. You record the moon's course against a starry background. You cannot get much sleep because in the daytime you are watching exactly where the sun rises and sets on the horizon. Day after day, year after year, you write down the rising and setting directions. You document the transit of the sun and note the positions of the stars.

You notice the sun has returned approximately to the same beginning place at the ripe age of 35. The whole process seems to repeat. You hand down the holy writings to your son when he turns fifteen. For the next twenty years, your son watches the sky and writes the same information. He passes it on to his son, and he does exactly the same thing. Your family keeps track of these records for twenty generations. After 400-years, one of your great-grandchildren, ad infinitum, notices the sun comes back to the original position, less a fraction of a degree. Knowledge of the stars and constellations generates religion in nearby villages. Word of the holy writings begins to spread and your family achieves royal status. Actual observation of the heavens is the only way to make the lunar/solar calendar.
 
A family or dynasty living in Egypt requires meticulous observation over 73 generations to make just one 1,460 year Sothic Cycle calendar. Traditional chronology credits King Djoser of the third dynasty with introducing the 365-day-solar-year in 2650 B.C.E. Djoser (Netjerykhet ) ruled between 2668-2649 B.C.E. and built the first stone Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Your family continues to make improvements on the calendar system.

Ptolemy III, (280-221 B.C.E.) officially included leap day calculations. His Canopus decree in 238 B.C.E. adds one day every four years to correct the gradual drift of winter feasts through the year. Leap Day adds a single day every four years to the existing winter solstice 5-day Feast of the Walking Stick. Feast of the Walking Stick celebrates the end of the 360-day-year. Romans would later rename the feast to Saturnalia. The family has been observing the motions of the heavens for over 3,000 years. Anyone in this simple example only had one opportunity to relay the information accurately down to his or her heirs.

There are some housekeeping issues to think about before going further. We must respect the attitudes and opinions of many people, past and present. Heritage and legacy esteem ancestors regardless of whoever they may be. There is more at stake than what meets the eye. Until now, these calendar numbers; the tools, numerical matching, and lunar-side and solar-side time splits are merely fragments of calendar patterns. They are all notes of the same song, time. We have recognized the Almighty God while exacting calendar information from diverse culture and other religions. Deities, gods and kings have played differing roles in calendar development. Beliefs in the afterlife and resurrection of the righteous affect religion.

The Holy Bible mentions polytheism and adverse spirituality. Negative connotations surround characters such as Seth and Enoch. The favor of God bestows blessings. The wrath of God is a curse to endure. Delving into the distant past exposes both beneficial and malevolent tendencies. Many layers of time have passed to soften and diffuse the supernatural works showcased by the Exodus. Miracles in the New Testament significantly changed Greek and Roman perceptions. Calendar research excavates deeply about foundational social structures.

The concept of professional ethics is mandatory. Safety and security for everyone are prime concerns in conjunction with sheer calendar numbers. Calendar science accesses intangible resources from the time stream that may touch other lives. The subjective nature of time makes possible the grandiose and sublime. Grace empowers us to know morally right from wrong. This quest directly seeks the spirit of the Holy Bible. Existing theology is always an asset that preserves basic human rights and justice for all. Ultimate social profit is the desired end.

The pyramid depicted in figure 6 shows the all-seeing eye associated with Osirus and the 1,461-year Sothic Cycle. The eye is similar to the eye appearing on the back of a United States one-dollar bill. Our founding fathers realized the significance of Egyptian mythology. Changes to the older Roman Julian Calendar in 1,582 A.D. to the Gregorian Calendar left colonists with mixed religious feelings. Hence, Constitutional directives called for the freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. Any changes to the 365-day-solar-year calendar can reverberate through time for literally hundreds of years.

The above example shows the gravity of profound calendar change. Historians usually indicate the Sothic Cycle lasting 1,460-years. Figure 6 cites the Sothic Cycle to be 1,461-years. In the text, a 364-day-year seems odd for people so advanced. The reason behind listing 364-days as opposed to 365-days for a solar year is the simple 1-day to 1-year concept of numerical matching. After King Djoser in the third dynasty, Egyptologists are sure 5-special-days were included following the 360-day midpoint, or Tun-year, of the Mesoamerican calendars. The Mayan calendar provides background l/s calendar information to aid our study. Lunar/separation times are crucial to the ancient past.

The 364-day calendar year is the ancient Jewish Jubilee calendar year. A 364-day calendar year is also the forerunner of the Egyptian Sothic Cycle calendar. Judaism tended to follow lunar reckoning in contrast to the Egyptians using solar reckoning. Within Judaism, both lunar and solar schools of thought were evident. Lunar/solar calendars permit application of the Mesoamerican calendar branch. One cannot abandon chronology. At this point, we must surpass existing chronology. We are moving into pre-history to study the calendar of the Antediluvian Patriarchs in detail.

New Year (Rosh Hashanah) in the Jubilee calendar year begins at sunset on the vernal equinox, March 21. Unlike the modern version, sunset on March 22 is the first day of the seventh month in the Torah Jubilee Year (Lev. 23:24-27). On the tenth day of the same month, the Day of Atonement is the most solemn of Jewish holidays. The modern Jewish Calendar observes Rosh Hashanah according to the autumnal equinox.

The Jubilee calendar year incorporates 10-days of l/s separation time. The difference between a 354-day-lunar-year and a modified 364-day Enochian Sect year is 10-days. An explicit 365-day-solar-year results in 11-days of l/s separation. The consistent notion of cascaded time is imperative to the ancient Jubilee year. The time stream, natural and supernatural, flows between the lunar-side and solar-side of the calendar. This supreme religious philosophy has guarded and preserved the
spiritual realm for eternity.

The four cardinal points of the year wield authority over the entire solar-side of the calendar. Two equinoxes and two solstices exhibit the viewpoint of having four different Jewish new years. The minimum and maximum daylight periods during the year's regular course each represent the beginning of four seasons. The calendar year of Enoch likewise divides into four equal 91-day quarters. Four major stars command the heavenly circuit and luminaries. They represent individual cascaded
control for a single day over three 30-day months per quarter. Enoch, in heavenly visions, describes the "secret year". All principalities, heaven and earth, are subject to 364-years, which constitute numerical matching with 364-days. One final day each year accumulates to empower the capstone 364-day calendar year by Enoch.

Genesis lists the Antediluvian Patriarchs in sequential order. Established chronologies transfix a linear, solar-year number line format to ages recorded for Adam and his offspring. Application of lunar/solar calendars extracts calendar fragments in the original ancient style. There are two theological issues at stake.

The lineage of Adam is a Judeo-Christian core belief. To introduce lunar/solar calendar tools boldly amends accepted chronology and the greater impact upon humanity. Lost civilizations sought vigorously to record and preserve sacred calendar information. Some manuscripts are the product of recopied information many times over. The written knowledge may be far older than the document's physical age. Ancient texts have value by virtue of their antiquity. Supreme intent will accommodate the differing skill mix and faith eschatology of multiple cultures.

A unified theory of lunar/solar comparisons accesses supernatural influences. This material tightly focuses upon the seams and joints of time. Religious experiences and revelation fill the Holy Bible. Nearly every shred of testimony and miraculous deed combines the eternal presence of God with the calendar. The will of God and the time stream follow the natural lunar-side and solar-side banks. The calendar is an intangible aspect of spiritual writings. Knowledge of the Word, in conjunction with calendar deployment elevates our personal hopes, dreams and prayers. The benefit to readers accelerates unseen thought and word. Ageless worship techniques from the masters ensure others receive requested blessings. Fervent prayer stimulates the concussion of heaven. The best practical approach elicits humility of oneself and sincerity of heart. Genuinely felt emotions and concrete visualizations will strengthen a truthful purpose.

Abstract traces in ancient mythology supplement the anthropology of past culture. Clever screening of stories retold and rewritten gives historians the opportunity to discern the more important pieces that still survive. Architecture and other physical relics discovered are studied elements of bygone days. Customs and folklore secure clearer understanding of former society. In libraries and museums, our appreciation preserves distant heritage and hopefully the future will conserve those
days and things shared today.

Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendars all adjusted a neutral 360-day length of year with intercalations. Ancient Jewry perpetuated seven-day weeks in an unceasing cycle of Sabbaths to accomplish intercalations. The Jubilee 50-year cycle counted 7-years in a Sabbath week. Each Jubilee culminated 7 cycles of 7-year-weeks for 49-years. The primary 105-year age of Seth twice repeats the Jubilee. Some writers feel the last fiftieth year was included for intercalation. Other sacred writings list two Jubilees that make 98 years, plus one additional 7-year-week for Seth. Either case numerically matches days to years with repetitive multiples to dominate l/s calendar development. Religious mythology was insistent upon the calendar mathematics of the empire.

A 260-day period comprised the agricultural sacred year that began and ended on the same dates during any standard 365-day-solar-year. The remaining 105-days every year serve to reinforce later multiples of years. The Jewish Calendar repeats the sacred number seven to describe time cycles similarly. For the 19-year Metonic cycle, about 105-days signify the solar-side time split of 19-year lunar/solar cycles. Mesoamerican calendars adapt a 20-year cycle known as a Mayan Katun cycle.

Both Egyptian and Sun Kingdoms' calendars emphasized repetitive multiples. Mesoamerican calendars used the 20-year lunar/solar cycle exclusively. These calendars multiplied the 20-year lunar/solar cycle again by 20-years to obtain "20-years of 20-years", or 400-years of years. The ancients had no way to express 400-years of years, so they simply called them "400-years." Multiplying the 20-years Katun l/s cycle by itself has the meaning of squaring time. A 20-year lunar/solar Katun cycle of the Mesoamerican Sun Kingdoms' calendar attributes 105-days to the solar-side and 105-days to the lunar-side of the calendar.

A Katun cycle that results in 210-days of lunar/solar separation time squares to build 210-years of lunar/solar separation time for any given 400-year Baktun period. Lunar/solar separation time matches 210-days with 210-years time split into halves for masculine and feminine time genders. Substitution can replace the 210-years of l/s separation with 400-year Baktun cycles. The 400-year-Baktun cycle forms part of the Dresden Codex.

The primary age of Adam was 130-years old at the time of fathering Seth. Adam's primary age 130-years double to complete a sacred-cycle of 260-years. The Bible matches days to years so that 130-days double to complete a Mesoamerican 260-day-sacred-year. In the pie graph of figure 11, the primary 130-year age of Adam shows relationship to the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The lower portion of figure 11 indicates the last 105-days and 105-years. Seth's primary age 105-days and 105-years compose a single matched term that serves to reinforce impression of 365-day-solar-years and 365-year-solar-cycles. Seth has the same solar-side, primary 105-year age at the time of fathering Enos.

The primary 105-year age of Seth carries significant numerical traits developed from calendar tools. The primary 130-year age of Adam first divides the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The 260-day-sacred-year parallels a 260-year-sacred-cycle. Seth's first solar-side time split 105-days add with 260-days to complete a 365-day length of year. After two 400-year-Baktuns, or an 800-year Generation Cycle, the resulting total solar-side time split is 210-years. The primary 105-year age of Seth halves 210-years to mark the first solar-side time split in the primary age category. Seth's matched time split 105-years add with a 260-year-sacred-cycle to complete the total 365-year-cycle.

The archaic Jewish Jubilee calendar was similar in concept to the Enochian Sect calendar that used 364-days. The role of the single last day every year evidences the common idea of numerical matching in ancient calendars. The cascaded notions of 105-days and 105-years, together suit a single numerical term. Solar-side time split is the determining half for 105-days and years in a single term.

In the genealogy of Genesis, Chapter 5, Seth is the first generation following Adam. Seth means founder, or originator in literal Hebrew. Seth is the baseline heir for the paternal chronology of Adam. Seth's primary 105-year age invoked the first solar-side time split following Adam's era. Solar-side time splits bisected the 260-year-sacred-cycle with the pretense of division to separate and to make holy those times to follow. Halves, and quarters of the 260-year-sacred-cycle began and terminated at intersections with solar-side time splits. Ancient eyes saw lunar/solar calendar patterns advance by watching and recording heavenly motions. The primary age category marking the halving, doubling, and dividing of time continues to Enos in the Holy of Holies sequel to Ages of Adam.
 


The next logical step to recording time was to double the 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Abraham's covenant with the Lord relates to a 400-year span in Genesis 15:13 - 16, with literal Hebrew definitions arising from the presence of ancestry. The next age bracket advances the l/s calendar to the 800-year era. Twice the 400-year-Baktun-cycle measures the 800-year Generation Cycle. Calendar references for the "begat" genealogy following Adam affix 800-year Generation Cycles to each named character's secondary age category. Actions of doubling and halving time interval tools discovered from associated calendars yield a repeating order. The procedure of God coming between and dividing time continues further lunar/solar separations.
 
Genesis 5:4

"And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"

Adam lived for 800-years in a full Generation Cycle following the birth of Seth. The secondary 800-year age of Adam arises from two successive 400-year-Baktun-cycles of the ancient Sun Kingdoms' Calendars. The 400-year Baktun holds the most significant position of the Long Count Initial Series. Mesoamerican dating usually begins the Long Count with 13 Baktun cycles. The secondary age category adds 400-year increments for each major l/s event. This work applies the 800-year Generation Cycle to describe the time following the birth of Seth until the death of Adam.

Critical points in the primary age category coincide with 400-year-Baktun-cycle transitions. The 260-year-sacred-cycle halves to chronicle the primary 130-year age of Adam. At this primary age category critical point, the 400-year-Baktun-cycle doubles to get 800-years in the secondary age of Adam. Baktun cycles add to the secondary age category total. Additions that extend the length of the l/s calendar required changing the masculine solar-side of lunar/solar separation time. Simply doubling the primary 130-year age of Adam would have resulted in the original 260-year-sacred-cycle. A different method needs to record the next layer of the calendar.

The scriptures chose to show the next masculine, solar-side of time projection as the primary 105-year age of Seth. By doubling the 400-year-Baktun-cycle, we get the secondary 800-year age of Adam. The primary age of Adam halves a 260-year-sacred-cycle (fig. 11). The secondary age doubles the 400-year-Baktun-cycle to achieve 800-years. Seth's distinctive 105-year solar-side time split is half of the solar-side 210-years time split. After Adam's 800-year secondary age, the complete 210-years of solar-side separation time divide in half for 105-years. The lower pie section of figure 11 shows 105-days and 105-years to be the primary age of Seth at the time of fathering the next character.

Baktun cycles having 400-years increment the secondary age category and synchronize the primary ages. Corresponding primary age category elements of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle interleave with solar-side time splits. Adam's first half of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle is followed by Seth�s first half of solar-side time split. Secondary age 800-year Generation Cycles repeat for each Patriarch from Adam through Jared.

Ideas of God dividing and coming between lunar and solar separation times transfer to people with other ordained principles. The mirror image of God was man. Pharaohs and kingly leaders of the ancient world mediate between the heavenly realm in the afterlife and mortal humanity below. God and man together conformed to notions of masculine, sun-side reckoning for lunar/solar time. The sky-father concept carries forth by assigning a lesser deity rule to past monarchs. Personal pronoun names and the generic literal meanings combine to explain characters such as Adam. Early theology substitutes monarchs, deities and other character names for specific allotted times.

In literal Hebrew and English, the name of Adam applies in two ways. The generic man exists in the mortal sense. Adam also recognizes the personal pronoun name for a deified king patriarch type of character. Working along these lines, synchronism between two types of years had to be developed. First, there was the agricultural 260-day sacred year. Secondly, a midpoint 360-day type of year was halfway between lunar and solar years. The 360-day midpoint length of year helped measure the time of God coming between and separating greater differences involved with lunar/solar calendars.

The 800-year Generation Cycle dominated the lineage following Adam. Once the secondary 800-year age of Adam had completed to produce the primary 105-year age of Seth, another 800-year Generation Cycle was counted to continue the pattern. Through the genealogy following Adam, i.e. Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, and Jared, each secondary age incorporates an 800-year Generation Cycle. Based on actual heavenly observations, this time had to pass to properly record later lunar/solar time splits found in the Holy Bible.

The oldest written calendar information in the world penetrates into the past extreme. We are using the ancient Jewish, Egyptian, and Mesoamerican calendars in braided fashion to develop the oldest trunk line of calendar science ever known. To put this material in better perspective, we should pause for a moment to grasp the magnitude of this discovery.

About 5,000 years ago, or 3,000 B.C.E., the early Egyptians were experimenting with stepped pyramid building. Djoser's Step Pyramid at Saqqara and Ziggurats have resemblance to later Mesoamerican stepped pyramids. Later ruling dynasties would modify their architecture to the sloped pyramid. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is a wonder of the ancient world and the most famous of the sloped pyramids. Wooden or reed sailing vessels may have served passage for people to carry the calendar to the New World and settle near the Yucatan Peninsula. Many are the Mayan ruins and others that support a link across the ocean so long ago. Pyramid facades and temple entrances show evidence of similar decoration. Stelae, standing stones, and sacred pillars often mentioned in the Old Testament indicate religious and social connections. The custom of carving stone pillars for writing, glyph pictures and preserving calendar records was common throughout Central and South America.

Sacred writings tend to mix calendar recognition with the afterlife. Life after death is a cultural belief practiced from the ancient world through modern times. Proper respect for the dead is a religious behavior imperative. Abel's blood crying out from the ground is our first scriptural evidence of burial having spiritual ties (Gen. 4:10). Eternal spirits in the heavenly realm are detached from calendar time restraints.

We know the story about Moses and the Exodus by the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. Moses grew up in the house of the Pharaoh and certainly had access to past Egyptian calendar information (Exodus 2:9-10). Egyptian temple initiates trained in the secret operations of the calendar. Priestly neophytes participated in special rituals. Both Hebrew and Egyptian religions monitored exactly who knew what regarding the deeper mysteries of the calendar. Mesoamerican lore preserves an abundance of calendar ceremonial rites. Leviticus tells the story of the revelation at Mt. Sinai, Jubilee Years and instructions for keeping sacred feasts and festivals. The Jewish Ordo de Secretis Intercalationis endorses the secret order of calendar intercalations. Given the sanctity of keeping Sabbath and other holidays as holy, calendar information is sacred.

Enoch achieves the status of Metatron following the transfiguration mentioned in Genesis 5:24 and Hebrews 11:5. Perception of the spirit world combines bits and pieces of calendar data with dual philosophies toward heaven and hell. Enoch 3 encapsulates angelology with imagery. The significant number 72 connects angels and heavenly princes. Raphatiel is the prince appointed over the constellations and accompanied by 72 great and honored angels (Ch. XVII:6-7). There are also 72 princes in the kingdoms of the world (Ch. XXX:2). Other references point to the righteous Metatron's 72 wings. Subordinate to the Holy One, vast numbers measure 354 thousand (parasangs) for the moon and 365,000 (myriads of) ministering angels for the sun (Ch. XVII:5-7). Numerical relationships written into the angelology of Enoch appear as metaphors, exactly like Egyptian mythology. For the other Patriarchs, ending the secondary age brought death. Death launched the afterlife continuity for humans and gods.

Enoch 3 is full of colorful metaphors that predominately associate with continuous weekly Sabbaths. Majesty in the heavens is complete at the four heads of four fiery rivers. There are 7 heavens and 49 costly stones in the royal crown which shines the light of the sun globe (Ch. XII:3). The ultimate Holy One is seated upon the Throne of Glory. Evangelical fire and brimstone copies Enoch 3. The brilliance of Shekina has 1,000 times the brilliance of the sun. A dark cloud veils Shekina to shield mortal people from the blinding light. Two great princes serve as keepers to write the book of the living and the book of the dead.

Enoch 1 and Enoch 2 characterize physical astronomy rather than concentrating on relevant heavenly visions. Operation of the 364-day Enochian year integrates closely with Mesoamerican and Egyptian calendar formats. Sabbath Days and Sabbath year-weeks conform to guidelines established by the Holy One. Lunar months having 29-days or 30-days expand to 29-years or 30-years in a month of numerically matched years. The potential exists to isolate 800-year Generation Cycles in each secondary age from the total secondary age. Birth, death and Enoch's translation outline all three works of Enoch. A lifetime 365-solar-year age suggests factors that influenced early calendars.

Religious attitudes toward agriculture derive from the calendar. Feast, famine, planting and harvesting depended upon the seasons. Movement of celestial light and dark objects formed the rungs of the calendar ladder. The Babylonian calendar compares with the Jewish in early periods. Dual Jewish and Babylonian monthly names are given in figure 2 for the Metonic 19-year Jewish Calendar. The state of agricultural products, special conditions, weather and the prevailing astronomical
opinions had impact on the calendar.

Early ages in the dawn of civilization need definite chronology or a presently known dating system. Nomadic hunters and seed gatherers began to develop culture, settling into small communities. Some 20,000 years ago in lands east of the Mediterranean Sea, the diversity of culture was spreading. An agricultural community arose in the "Fertile Crescent" portion of the world. Social graduation to using seasons of planting and harvesting was historically comparable with the advent of specialized labors. Rich soil of the locale and the availability of a fresh water supply permitted the land to be cultivated for crops. The eastern Mediterranean coastline supplemented human diet with an easy harvest. Greek writers later knew the fertile region between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates as Mesopotamia. Literally, the area was "between the rivers" to the Greeks. Biblical geography has aided historical science. Scripture reports l/s calendar eras with extraordinary language and meaning adequate for classical science.

The Mediterranean coastlands supported agriculture. Mild winters, fertile soil and the autumnal rainy season provided ideal growing conditions. People lived near the exalted "Garden of Eden" all year long. Maturation of the societies blended the ability to share cumulative knowledge gained, pass this resultant knowledge down to their children and engage in deductive reasoning that allowed the group to acquire skills. Humankind had satisfied basic needs of food, clothing and shelter to logically plan. Citizens gravitated into small groups to aid one another and became dependent on specialized vocations. The agricultural economy developed into city life, complete with a variety of labor divisions. These techniques of social grid work provided mastery of increasingly complex skills. Civilization was beginning to evolve.

Historians generally agree that agriculture had begun roughly 10,000 B.C.E. - 8,000 B.C.E. in that part of the world called Mesopotamia. Domesticated sheep and cattle also existed during this time. The scriptures mention that Abel kept sheep and Cain was a tiller of the ground (Genesis 4:2). Initial confirmation adheres to the need for an accurate calendar in order to establish planting and harvesting times during the year. Three agricultural festivals that date from the Exodus are the Festival of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Tabernacles and the Feast of First Fruits. Optimizing crop production would be the effective goal of a precise calendar.

The Jewish Jubilee calendar year included two growing seasons that ended in harvest celebrations. Five days after the Day of Atonement, the fifteenth day of Tishri celebrates a 7-day festival called the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot (Lev. 23:34, Deut. 16:13-16). Seven days commemorate the forty years that the children of Israel wandered in the desert following the Exodus from Egypt. The temporal nature of life gives reason to erect temporary shelters, wherein eating at least one meal per day in the Sukkah honors God's provisions. The whole family decorates the Sukkah booth with fruits and vegetables. Partial walls and roof admit sunlight and provide shaded areas. Later observances converted this Festival of Ingathering harvest celebration into a historical festival. Also called the Feast of Trumpets, Tabernacles was the only feast with specific instructions to rejoice. The lulav (branches of four species) and the etrog (citron) are traditional wave offerings. The Feast of Booths marks thanksgiving for the fruit and grain harvest. Grapes for wine, barley and wheat were the crops gathered. Coming at completion of the entire harvest, the shofar blast heralds the second bounty in the modern calendar year.

Fifty days after the Passover anniversary celebrating the night of the Exodus is the Feast of First Fruits (Numbers 28:26). Known as the springtime feast holiday Shavu'ot, the festival occurs during the Jewish month of Sivan (Esther 8:9). English translation adapts the word sometimes to Shav'ot, Sabbouth, or Shabout. Seven weeks of seven days determines the name Feast of Weeks for same festival and the transition day from the sixth to the seventh day in the month of Sivan. Sivan is the third month of the sacred festival year, and the ninth month of the modern Jewish Calendar year. The sixth of Sivan honors Shavu'ot for a single day only in Israel. Elsewhere, the sixth and seventh days of Sivan observe Shavu'ot. The 50-day lapse between the two festivals represents the complete 50-year lunar calendar of Moses. God ordained Shavu'ot to celebrate the revelation at Mt. Sinai. This holiday marks the anniversary of giving God's teachings to Moses. God gave the Hebrews the first Five Books of Moses, which are called the Torah in Judaism, or the Pentateuch by Greek terminology. Shavu'ot emphasizes the Torah with the use of dairy products.

The early agricultural society ended the waiting period for the harvest. Most likely predating the Exodus, Counting the Sheaves for fifty days culminated with the first fruits of spring. Farmers brought the first fruits of the land to the Temple. Rejoicing in the bounty of the grain harvest marked the end of the 50-day interval. Decorating with flowers, green plants, fruits, and vegetables are part of the tradition for the spring season. Avoiding meat and the use of leather goods reminds Jewish people to preserve living things during Shavu'ot. With the destruction of the second Temple in 70 BCE, the agricultural ritual of the first fruits became symbolic. The encounter at Mt. Sinai became the focus of the festival.

The Old Testament calendar system used differences between the lunar year provided by 12-months of new moons and solar years measured against the stars. The Great Flood sealed evidence of a vast floating chronology. The traditions and folklore of Mesopotamia deeply embed the calendar system based on the sun, moon and stars as natural timekeepers. Sometime prior to about 3,000 B.C.E. this calendar centers geographically near the ancient city of Byblos. Trees likely held lunar month carvings that later transferred to vertical stone columns. The stationary marker sited motions of the heavens and recorded them for later generations. The typical concept is that a small pocket of civilization evolved ahead of surrounding cultures, probably from Sumerian roots and moved southward into the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt.

Before Abraham led the Hebrews away from Ur and King Menes united the two lands of Egypt, the calendar of Genesis reveals several thousand years. Ages recorded for the Antediluvian Patriarchs from Adam through Jared entailed two distinct categories of lunar/solar timekeeping. The primary age category references the 260-year sacred cycle. Halves and quarters of the 260-year-sacred-cycle denote the time until the character fathers, or starts, the next named character. The secondary age category references successive 400-year-Batun-cycles. Baktun cycles count from 1 to 13 in multiples of two Baktuns that measure a Generation Cycle. The last thirteenth Baktun cycle signifies the end of the Great Cycle. Enoch's transfiguration of 300 years in the secondary age category culminates the Great Cycle of 13 Baktun cycles. The final lifetime 365-solar-year age of Enoch shows a pronounced transition from the 12 lunar month year to 365-day-solar-years. The identical l/s pattern carries forward to Mesoamerican calendars.

 
Secondary 800-Year Ages of Adam and Seth

The secondary 800-year Generation Cycle is the final tool needed to resolve the genealogy of Adam. Segments of 800-years increment the secondary age category at every primary age division. Generation Cycles illustrate the wisdom of ancient minds. Extending the ancient recordings expresses by repeating the secondary 800-year age of Adam. A repeating 800-year Generation Cycle was included with the secondary age for each later descendant Patriarch. Antediluvian characters from Adam through Jared utilize the 800-year Generation Cycle as part of their respective secondary ages. The 800-year Generation Cycle was a single unit of time. Components from lunar/solar calendar systems assemble the advanced Generation Cycle tool.

Generation Cycles allow modern society to examine early scriptures based on identical content meanings. Numeric remnants of the calendar and names attached to it constitute basic ingredients found with the Jewish Calendar, Egyptian Calendar and Mesoamerican Calendars of the Western Hemisphere. Manifest in mythology and religion, proto-historic gods and deities aided formulation of the calendar. The calendar used an agricultural sacred-year of 260-days within every year of 365-days and extends by repeating 800-year Generation Cycles. Three different calendars combine for a hybrid understanding of extremely remote bonds in history. All three above were major calendars of the ancient world and commence between 4,241 B.C.E. and 3,113 B.C.E. years. Entwined with the mythology of the Egyptians and Israelite folklore, the Mesoamericans add their beliefs regarding this advanced form of the calendar. A pattern emerges to span nearly 8,000-years of history prior to the Great Flood of Noah.

The secondary age category begins the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Mere 20-year cycles brought the heavens to a very close arrangement compared to the original state. The 20-year l/s cycle required further calendar refinements. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle enhances lunar/solar timekeeping over 20 multiples of 20-year l/s cycles. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle was a product of the Mayan Calendar and the comprehensive period to indicate 210-years of l/s separation time. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle doubles to get the secondary 800-year age of Adam. The secondary 800-year age of Adam completes the first 800-year Generation Cycle. Later descendants of Adam continued to add 800-year spans.

The Mesoamerican Calendars employed a 52-year Calendar Round that used both the 260-day-sacred-year and the 360-day midpoint length of year. Working like meshed gears, 52-Haab-years of 365-days each and 73-sacred-years having 260-days each pinpointed any calendar date. The 52-year Calendar Round of Mesoamerica is famous to archeology. After 18,980-days, the 52-year Calendar Round repeats. An intensive ideology focused upon the Calendar Round preserved religious and social customs. The Calendar Round derives from the original calendar of Adam.

A Great Cycle in the Mayan Calendar expands the 52-year Calendar Round to 5,200 years. Concentric time shifts the reference from days to years. The scale multiple is exactly 100 times greater in the Great Cycles versus the Calendar Round. The Long Count Initial Series and the Great Cycle are variations along the same theme. The Long Count was a popular way to synthesize calendar meanings in the mid-twentieth century. Mesoamerican chronologists point to the cyclic nature of Mayan calendar time. A Great Cycle consisting of 5,200-Haab-years follows the same sequence of 13 Baktuns as the Long Count.

Twelve consecutive 400-year-Baktun-cycles give rise to the presumed Mayan Creation date of 13.0.0.0.0. The Mayan Baktun numbers range from 1 to 13 in the Long Count Initial Series rather than 0 to 12. The Long Count is a number line, linear format developed for convenience. On the other hand, the Great Cycle presumes 12 Baktuns have already elapsed prior to 13.0.0.0.0. The Great Cycle repeats after 5,200-Haab-years, or 7300-sacred-years, whereas the Long Count happens once.

Judeo-Christian history began with similar lunar/solar time reckoning concepts. Archaic evidence reveals that 800-year Generation Cycles were entrenched during the era of Adam and Eve. The time line establishes earliest Bible followers held acquired skills in astronomy, mathematics and communications. Actual observation through ancient eyes taught astronomers the 20-year lunar/solar cycle repeated the same heavenly sun, moon and star positions. The rational key to this calendar system accounts for precise fractions of degrees to the horizon, the phase of moon and gradual star locations. Lunar/solar time keeping order warrants a calendar system that later transferred to Mesoamerica either intact or in pieces. Located near Byblos and Ur, a small pocket of culture preserved the calendar in Genesis 5.

The calendar numbers found in the Holy Bible is, was, and ever shall be -- everlasting. The eternal domain belongs to God. Beginning with Adam (generic man) and Eve (sunset, Ĕrēve), the calendar is the human way to measure time and our precious treasure from the Bible. Message skills developed to permit transfer of the sacred calendar knowledge. The Word is the sanctuary for calendar material that begins over 10,000 years ago. Genesis 5 holds the 800-year Generation Cycle legacy of the ancient past.

Calendar science highlights more awareness and esteem for early people than what is currently agreed. Primeval humanity wrote this calendar material in the familiar style common to their culture. Countless languages and interpretations preserve the sacred calendar numbers. From original Hebrew and Greek, through Old English and modern, we have the astonishing knowledge of distant past history. Beyond the sheer numbers and impressive calendar math, this Bible study describes absolute time reckoning in the sense prevalent back then. Our modern task is to adapt present understanding to reflect a people with extraordinary abilities.

Adam and his descendants accent a culture with outstanding perception and reasoning. Adam first identified a primary 130-year age, which was half of a 260-year-sacred-cycle. Seth was the first masculine, solar-side time split written for two Mesoamerican 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The next l/s time split in the primary age category quarters the 260-year-sacred-cycle to derive the primary 90-sacred-year age of Enos. Third descendant in Adam's line, Enos was born when Seth was 105-years old. At the end of the primary 90-sacred-year age of Enos, Cainan was born. The calendar system of halving, doubling and dividing time predicated most history.

In order to describe ancient theories of time reckoning, the 260-day-sacred-year and the 260-year-sacred-cycle divide in half. The calendar applies numerical matching to obtain 130-days and 130-years in a single term. The division of 210-l/s-separation-days for a 20-year cycle results in 105-days of solar-side time split. The calendar squares 20-years by multiplying a 20-year cycle by itself. The resulting 400-year-Baktun-cycle numerically matches 210-l/s-separation-years.

Significant steps in the secondary age category occur for each 400-year-Baktun-cycle. The 260-year-sacred-cycle in the primary age category halves for the primary 130-year age of Adam at the completion of the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle. The second 400-year-Baktun-cycle increments the secondary age category to attain the first Generation Cycle for Adam. The third 400-year-Baktun-cycle equally halves 210-years of lunar/solar separation to get 105-years of solar-side time split. A fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle adds to Seth's secondary age category. Seth's secondary age category concludes 1,600-years l/s time.

The end of odd 400-year-Baktun-cycle multiples are the halfway point transitions that determine changes in the primary age category. For example, the first 400-year-Baktun-cycle ending signals the halfway division of the primary age 260-year-sacred-cycle. The end of the second 400-year-Baktun-cycle also ends the first Generation Cycle for Adam. A third 400-year-Baktun-cycle ends to halve 210-years of l/s separation time. The halfway transition point of Seth's secondary age category starts, or "begets", 105-years of solar-side time split in Seth's primary age category. A pattern emerges to alternate divisions of the 260-year-sacred-cycle with solar-side time splits in the primary age category.

Given by Genesis 5:6, Seth's primary age at the time of fathering Enos is 105-years. The first 800-year Generation Cycle finishes the secondary age category for Adam at the end of two successive 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The secondary 807-year age of Seth uses the same method. Seth repeats the 800-year Generation Cycle for the second time. Seth's primary age halves 210-years of separation time to show 105-years of solar-side time split instead of dividing the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Divisions of the 260-year-sacred-cycle alternate with successive solar-side time splits.


Genesis 5:7
"And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:"

The secondary 807-year age of Seth prescribes 800-years to be a partial segment device within the whole period. The 800-year Generation Cycle repeats to hold place value in the secondary 807-year age case of Seth. The third and fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycles in the Antediluvian lineage combine for the second 800-year Generation Cycle.

The secondary 807-year age of Seth includes an 800-year Generation Cycle, plus another 7-sacred-year component. To account for the last 5-year adjustment of either 360-days or 365-days, the ancients chose the 260-day-sacred-year unit. Another 7-sacred-year component adds with 800-years to describe the entire secondary 807-year age of Seth. Remaining time following each 800-year Generation Cycle always adds to the Patriarch's secondary age. Through the ancestry and the character of Jared, reversing conversions between 260-day-sacred-years and 360-day-Tun-years took place.

Seth, the first generation after Adam, completes a 365-day-solar-year and 365-year-solar-cycle as shown in figure 11. The primary 105-year age of Seth adds with a 260-year-sacred-cycle for 365-years. A 360-day midpoint length of year leaves 5-days per year unaccounted for at the end of 365-years. Two viewpoints are possible with the 260-year-sacred-cycle steadfast. The first case is a 365-year-solar-cycle period in conjunction with a 360-day midpoint length of year. A 5-year difference exists between the 365-year-solar-cycle and 360-years.

The 360-year midpoint length of cycle was fundamental to lunar/solar calendar operations. A difference of 100-years from the 260-year-sacred-cycle compares with the primary 105-year age of Seth. Seth's primary 105-year age is actually a composite that includes two distinct sub-periods. The first 100-years are between the 260-year-sacred-cycle and the 360-year midpoint cycle. The last 5-years compute 7-sacred-years in the secondary age category. Three methods estimate 7-sacred-years in equations 41-46.

Equation 41a multiplies for 1,800-days using a 365-year-solar-cycle that has 360-days per year. The alternate method in equation 41b likewise multiplies for the same 1,800-days using a 360-year midpoint cycle and a 5-day feast period remaining between 360-days and the 365-day-solar-year. The secondary 800-year Generation Cycle of Seth repeats Adam's secondary 800-year Generation Cycle with 1,800-days or more leftover.

Equation 42 finds the total 1820-days for the identified 7-sacred-year portion of Seth's secondary 807-year age. Seth's 7-sacred-year supplemental time multiplies by the 260-day-sacred-year for 1820 days. Seth's primary 105-year age had been the solar-side result after the third 400-year-Baktun-cycle.

Substituting the more familiar 365-day-solar-year and the 365-year-solar-cycle into the calculations shows the incredible accuracy of the ancient calendar. A 365-year-solar-cycle substitutes in place of the 360-year midpoint length of cycle. Comparable substitution uses a 365-day-solar-year in place of 360-days to result in 1,825-days (Eqn. 43). The last 5-years in Seth's 105-year primary age amounts some 1,800-days to 1,825 days. Time beyond the 800-year Generation Cycle approximates to 7-sacred-years, which add in the secondary 807-sacred-year age of Seth.

Where the equations are redundant, either case divides by a 260-day-sacred-year to find two values approximating 7-sacred-years. For 1,800-days, dividing by 260-day-sacred-years equals 6.92-sacred-years (Eqn. 44a). In the case of 1,825-days, dividing by 260-day-sacred-years results in 7.02-sacred-years (Eqn. 44b). The last analysis closely approximates 7-sacred-years as supplemental time in the secondary 807-year age of Seth.

The Enochian 364-day calendar suits cascaded time layers for Seth. A 100-days and years single term continues with the last 5-years in the primary age category. A calendar year of 364-days provides 105-days in 105-years. The last 5-years of Seth's primary 105-year age multiply by 364-days in Eqn. 45. Exactly 1,820-days divide by the 260-day-sacred-year to secure the last 7-sacred-years in the secondary age category (Eqn.46). Both the primary age 5-years and the secondary age 7-sacred-years are congruent to 1,820-days.

The Ethiopian Book of Enoch (I) advises the perfect calendar year has 364-days. A 364-day Jubilee calendar year quite possibly demonstrates the oldest mention of cascaded time. Affiliations with initial Egyptian Calendar practices clarify 4-days assigned to solar-side and 6-days assigned to the lunar-side of the calendar. The final summit day of the 365-day calendar year and four controlling days, one for each quarter of the year, were the principal rulers of time.

Our tools enable current Bible students to explore the most remote thought processes ever. A final revelation point examines the Leap Day inclusion. Most people today are familiar with the Leap Day inclusion every four years. The single Leap Day addition every four years in our modern calendar was once a vital element for the ancient Egyptian Calendar. The Egyptian Calendar summed the quarter-day fraction every year. The last year of 365-days adds the summit to make the entire Sothic Cycle 1,461-years long. Leap Day had a very important role in remote calendars. Enoch, seventh Antediluvian Patriarch from Adam links with the Egyptian Calendar. The Enochian Sect applied a curious 364-day calendar year with the parallel theme of numerical matching. Leap Days exist rooted in the 400-year-Baktun-cycle. A 400-year repeating Leap Day cycle appears in our present calendar.

The present Gregorian calendar labels the current 2005 calendar year. Our calendar embraces fine-tuning. Leap Day is normally included every fourth year on February 29. The Leap Day adjustment is required to keep the star positions on track over successive years. A 400-year cycle exists by restricting Leap Days to century years not evenly divisible by 400-years. Pope Gregory XIII modified the Julian calendar and associated Leap Day correction rules in 1582 to maintain proper Easter calculations. Easter was slipping farther into summer. The namesake calendar reform dropped the 10-days between October 5 and October 15 in 1582. The rule implemented excluded Leap Days in centennial years not evenly divisible by 400-years. Thus, the years 1700, 1800 and 1900 excluded Leap Day. The years 1600 and 2000 added Leap Day in the usual manner. Solar year stability needs only 97 Leap Day insertions in a 400-year period.

The calendar math from the three oldest major calendars: the early Jewish Calendar, the Egyptian Calendar, and the Mesoamerican Calendars shared phenomenal accuracy that resembles our modern Gregorian calendar. Leap Day adjustments were fundamental to the religious eschatology of ancient Egypt. Lunar/solar 19 and 20-year cycles anchored the four cardinal points of the solar year. A winter solstice celebration later called Saturnalia served to perpetuate the Egyptian calendar. The vernal, spring equinox began the Jewish Jubilee calendar year and the New Year of the ancient Greece. The book of Enoch cites the summer solstice. Fall harvest festivals such as the Feast of Tabernacles from the Jewish lunar calendar reference the occipital, fall equinox. Leap Day calculations in our present calendar identify a 400-year pattern that reflects the Mayan 400-year Baktun-cycle.

The translated "generation" alludes to Abraham's first-born son after 400-years. Gen. 15:16 implies knowledge of a 400-year period. Strands referenced from sacred literature testify that given 400-year-Baktun-cycles weave into our modern view of Biblical chronology. A multiple of two 400-year-Baktun-cycles specify the 800-year Generation Cycle. The 400-year-Baktun-cycle is the final bridge to Mesoamerican history.

The calendar detailing Adam's lineage exhibits numerical matching. In a single term, 365-day-solar-years and 365-year-solar-cycles occur throughout the text. Conceptions of days and years having the same numerical value elaborate the meaning for "and all the days of ... were ... years." Calendar study secures the components of 105-days and 105-years as a single term. The agricultural 260-day-sacred-year and the matched 260-year-sacred-cycle describe a single term also.

The complete genealogy of Adam to Noah expands in the Holy of Holies. Applying lunar/solar calendar math from the three oldest sources: the Jewish Calendar, Egyptian Calendar and Mesoamerican Calendars discovers definite agreements for the ages of Adam. Progressing through the genealogy following are the lunar/solar calendar records that extend from the oldest sources of Genesis scriptures ever known. Each Antediluvian Patriarch character in the lineage to Enoch reports time reckoning common to ancient civilizations. A primary age category and a secondary category define elements of the lengthening calendar. Birth until the next named son is the primary age category. The secondary age category is the time measured from fatherhood to death. The primary ages of Adam and his son, Seth, begin to recount vast spans of time.

The lunar/solar calendar order of the Patriarchs continues to unfold in the same manner. Components from other calendar systems assemble to employ advanced tools. The named characters from Adam to Jared list a primary age category time that associates with the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The secondary age category includes the 800-year Generation Cycle. Two multiples of a 400-year-Baktun-cycle are combined for all six repeating 800-year Generation Cycles. Additional time adds to the secondary age 800-year Generation Cycles and calculates in 260-day-sacred-years.

The Antediluvian Patriarchs incorporate a spiritual hierarchy. Birth, life and death events mark strategic points to illustrate lunar/solar calendar reckoning. Natural and explicit, the recognized eras are numerical remnants left to us by a skilled society. Kings, deities and the nature of gods all played a role in ancient cosmology. References to supernatural beings and visions are most noteworthy in the writings of Enoch.

The lifetime age of Enoch, the seventh patriarch from Adam, was 365-years. More precisely, a 365-day-solar-year and the 365-year-solar-cycle appear as a 365-days-and-years single term. The solar calendar of Enoch was rooted in both Egyptian mythology and Jewish lore. From the three books of Enoch, a curious 364-day length of calendar year lends new insight by reserving the last day of the solar year. A final day and year single term serves again, numerical matching of days versus years. Enoch blends with parts of many prophetic scriptures, such as "... one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" (II Peter 3:8). Ideas of an angelic, heavenly host compare with other sacred Jewish writings that regard supernatural entities. The Talmud, Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Book of Jubilees are such examples. Calendar information is serious business.



Preparation is necessary to continue this discussion of the Holy Bible and some of the world's oldest and most sacred writings. The numbers recorded are absolute, precise definitions of ancient calendar mathematics perhaps 10,000 years ago. The Antediluvian Patriarchs, or pre-flood fore fathers, are generally considered simply leaders. The Patriarchs include the "begat" family descendants following Adam in chapter 5 of Genesis. Like the ancestry of Kings and Pharaohs, entire epochs of
time describe the lifetime rule. A primary age measures years from birth to fatherhood of the next named son for each character. A secondary age then follows until the character's death. All primary ages form the primary age category and secondary ages constitute the secondary age category. The Bible sums the primary and secondary ages to give a lifetime age total for each character. Our study will span the named Patriarchs from Adam through Enoch.
 
In Old Testament days, the Holy of Holies or the Most Holy Place, was the most sacred part of a temple. Levite priests were the only people allowed to enter the Holy of Holies during special worship times. Priests burned incense and performed sacrificial ceremonies. The famous Ark of the Covenant adorned this Most Holy Place. The Holy of Holies was usually located toward the rear of the Tabernacle and surrounded by a thick curtain (Exodus Ch. 25-40). Inside the Holy of Holies, a golden lamp stand, table, incense altar and bronze altar usually accompanied the Ark of the Covenant. The table held the "Bread of the Presence". The Ark and most tabernacle furnishings had rings and carrying poles. Sheets of gold covered the portable furnishings.

God specifically directed Moses to build the Ark of the Covenant for the liberated Hebrews. Leviticus combines the Jewish sacred calendar year of feasts and festivals with relevant topics about holiness. Rules for keeping 7-day Sabbaths have supreme importance. Various movements within Judaism perpetuate associated customs. Physical objects of ritualistic worship decorated priestly ceremonies.

The Ark of the Covenant has symbolized Judaism at large for the last several thousand years of the traditional Jewish calendar. The Ark was a consecrated object that symbolized a portable Most Holy Place for the temple. Joshua later led the Israelites across the Jordan River near Jericho. When the priests who carried the same Ark reached the Jordan River and their feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. This miracle demonstrates the power of the Lord resting upon the Ark of the Covenant in the midst of the river Jordan.
 
Joshua 3:17

"And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan,
and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan."

 
The Lord's wrath demands equal respect. King Uzziah of Judah learned that pride can be one's downfall. Uzziah transgressed against the Lord his God by entering the Most Holy Place with intentions of burning incense upon the altar. When confronted by Azariah the priest and eighty others, the reserved practice of burning incense to the Lord in the temple became apparent. The priests warned King Uzziah.
 
2 Chronicles 26:18

"And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God."

King Uzziah became angry, and while still holding a censor to burn incense, he was afflicted. Leprosy broke out on Uzziah's forehead at that very moment. King Uzziah was a leper, forced to live separate and excluded for the rest of his life.

These two examples help illustrate the importance of maintaining the sanctity of the temple, and especially the Holy of Holies. Like Torah scrolls, the Holy Bible and other documentary evidence, the method of media used to convey an accurate representation of the Word of God is incidental to the fundamental knowledge gained. Sacred calendar information is a very dedicated part of that Word, and reflects the kind of knowledge with which Moses left Egypt. Gold laden artifacts and incense were merely ritualistic. The essence of a living God was abstract without either form or flesh. The oldest knowledge of the Word supplemented the Exodus venture.

Lunar/solar calendars were used in ancient times to measure these ages. A theology that aligned mechanics of the lunar/solar calendar with the lives of prevailing rulers weighed heavily upon ancient records. King lists and spiritual rulers often shared the heavenly realm. Special mediators between God above and mortal people below, the Antediluvian Patriarchs provide new revelations.

Calendar research of the Holy Bible begins with basic lunar counting procedures. Spiritual connotations and literal translations aid our present understanding. Ideas of God coming between, separating and dividing time expanded to include months and years. Worship principles encompassed lunar/solar calendars of ancient people. The Jewish Calendar is the oldest l/s calendar still in continuous use for Jewish people. A survey of the Jewish Calendar and the 19-year l/s calendar cycle traces the origins back to the Exodus. Agricultural feasts and festivals were ordained in scripture. Intercalary days add 7-months, or 209 days, in unceasing 7-day weeks to keep the lunar-side of the calendar on track with the solar-side. The Jewish Calendar is a lunar/solar model to help explore similar calendar instruments.

Ancient people of the Mediterranean coastlands, Mesopotamia and the Yucatan Peninsula shared lunar/solar calendar concepts and religious practices. Past evidence already exists to secure a vantage point that renders pre-historical culture. Calendar tools develop to apply consistent lunar/solar perceptions to other time reckoning systems. A 360-day length of year centers every year between 354-day-lunar-years and 365-day-solar-years. The architecture of stepped temples, mythological lore and sacred texts document relationships long ago. Ruling authorities often displayed calendar records on standing stones or sacred pillars. Engravings and testimonials provide supporting evidence. Extended treatment of lunar-side and solar-side components create lunar/solar calendars for numbered multiples of years. Mystical interpretation aligns gods and deities with cosmology. Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendar techniques are useful examples of ancient past calendars.

The Egyptian Calendar recognizes a 1,460-year Sothic Cycle. Converging pyramid slopes introduce cascaded time thinking. Controlling stars, named for gods, exerted influence during set astronomical cycles. Numerical matching of X number of days with X number of years was also a common characteristic of ancient calendars. Identical lunar/solar origins led to using 210-days, or 7-months of 30-days each, in a 20-year l/s cycle. Mesoamerican 20-year l/s cycles squared to become 400-year-Baktun-cycles. Numerical matching scaled the intercalary 210-days to signify 210-years for every 400-year-Baktun-cycle. Two 400-year-Baktun-cycles add together to create an 800-year Generation Cycle. The 800-year Generation Cycle repeats for each character from Adam to Jared in the secondary age category. Some features and folklore surrounding the Egyptian Calendar transferred to the Western Hemisphere about 3,000 B.C.E.

Legends and calendar evidence survives to indicate Mesoamerican culture adopted l/s calendar traits. Individual calendars of the Yucatan Peninsula branched to become the Aztec, Incan and Mayan Calendars. Gears serve to illustrate Mesoamerican 52-year Calendar Round operations. The bulk of this work refers to accepted Mayan nomenclature for established time cycles. The sacred 260-day-Tzolken-year and civil 360-day-Tun-year multiplied together in the 52-year Calendar Round. Egyptian and Mayan calendars add a special 5-day festival period at the end of the year. A 360-day-Tun-year lengthens for the complete solar 365-day-Haab-year. Background material gained from the ancient Jewish, Egyptian and Mayan Calendars allows us to penetrate more deeply than ever before. The Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees impart more sacred text evidence of distant past calendars.

The unifying methodology of combined lunar/solar calendar systems climaxes to explain time recorded for the Antediluvian Patriarchs in the Holy Bible. Beginning with the Ages of Adam, we have the proper calendar tools to understand extreme past lifestyle. The archaic style of early people measured time. Each character lists a primary age from birth to fatherhood and a secondary age until death. Significant l/s calendar times correlate with numbered ages in the primary age category. For Adam, the primary 130-year age matches half of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. Two 400-year-Baktun-cycles add to make Adam's secondary age 800-year Generation Cycle. Secondary ages from Adam through Jared link with multiples of the 400-year-Baktun-cycle in the Mayan 5200-year Great Cycle.

Lunar/solar separation time divides in half to expose the primary 105-year age of Seth. The secondary 807-year age of Seth repeats an 800-year Generation Cycle. The last 5-years in Seth's primary 105-year age compares equally to the last 7-sacred-years of the secondary age category. Time reckoning in Genesis shares identification of specific intervals with names and numbers. Number patterns are the framework of calendar science.

A correlation exists between the ages written for the Antediluvian Patriarchs and specific lunar/solar calendar information known long ago. Prehistoric style established numbering to mark the passage of time. Days and years count according to the most ancient calendar system ever devised. The Holy Bible preserved time by naming eras for past monarchs. In remote history, knowledge and power coincided with operation of the calendar. Short summaries for the Biblical ages of Adam and Seth follow. Time Emits has published a separate Holy of Holies for the listed Patriarchs Enos, Cainan, Mahaleel, Jared and Enoch.

A special place called the Holy of Holies was common to ancient Judaism and compares with ancient Egyptology. Entry to this area of the temple was limited to the religious elect. Reasons for protecting this very sacred calendar material preserved the social framework of theocracy. Supernatural occurrences manifested in predictable ritual and behavior inside the Holy of Holies. Seemingly random magical instances occasionally transpired upon worshipping participants.

By testimony and spiritual occurrences written in the Holy Bible, we accept proof of miraculous deeds. Optimizing our lives to seek Him is a fundamental purpose of time. A substantial relationship exists between time and the Holy Spirit. Very old time cycles in this vein awaken dormant magical forces. Virtually untapped resources having divine properties expose. Raw manifestations directly happen to an elevated level of spiritual awareness. The discerning person realizes paranormal situations through personal dreams and emotions. Some instances can alter the physical form world. Our search to know the ways and mindset of God may lead to spontaneous and unexpected actions. Religion reserves Sabbaths and other worship times to connect people with the Almighty.

These numbers and their meanings are the actual building blocks of time itself. Time Emits will continue the quest to do calendar research in conjunction with the Holy Bible. The Holy of Holies will detail similar calendar practices and analysis for the Antediluvian Patriarchs from Enos, the grandson of Adam, to Enoch. Penetrate hundreds and even thousands of years, unto the foundations of the world with the eternal Lord. The Holy of Holies follows Ages of Adam to deliver an ultimate message to those who have understanding.

Thousands of years have elapsed since the first Patriarchs began measuring time. The course of world history has obscured exact characterizations and meanings of the Antediluvian times. The floating history offered by Genesis 5 is unfixed in terms of modern Gregorian calendar dating. Long ago and today, the calendar date stamps past events. Modern science adapts ancient history to fit our solar calendar system. The intention dates every event within the confines of B.C.E. or A.D. to establish or enhance credibility.

Two entirely different subjects are worth pondering. The absolute age of the Holy Bible and the general viewpoint regarding human anthropology cede to discussion. These commencements need addressing before anyone can posit a date for the Creative Week. Jewish scholars regressing backward from 359 C.E. and the standardized modern Jewish Calendar, have attempted to determine Creation by mixing calendar science with known events. To some extent, the Egyptian Calendar emerges as a guideline. The Egyptian Calendar supports the Deluge in 2,345 B.C.E., the Exodus between 1,460-1,470 B.C.E and many other significant dates in Jewish chronology. Maya writings and calendar studies advanced in western chronology following the 1950's. Over 100 years of archeology and exploration have led to the modern version of the Mayan Calendar.

The best way to map chronology is to benefit from the same calendar system that ancient people once lived by. Ages listed in Genesis mandate that scientists adjust their calculations to a corresponding lunar/solar strategy. Treating these numbers as superfluous or abstract dismisses tremendous potential. Culture, art and history have deeply rooted facets in the ancient past. The ramifications of this calendar science discovery to the world are monumental.

 
Synopsis for the Biblical Ages of Adam
  • The integrity of calendar durations and distant religious eschatology are preserved. The calendar maintains days and years as different unit measurements of time.
  • Biblical mention of the famed ages of Adam in chapter 5 of Genesis was deeply rooted in the ancient lunar/solar calendar system.
  • Numerical matching is a basic concept discovered in ancient lunar/solar calendars. The 365-day-solar-year and the 365-year-solar-cycle numerically match in a 365-days-and-years single term.
  • The 260-day-sacred-year and the 260-year-sacred-cycle relate by numerical matching. The 105-day portion of a 365-day-solar-year and a 105-year portion of a 365-year-cycle relate by numerical content.
  • Middle Eastern lunar/solar calendars using the 19-year cycle resulted in 209 days of lunar/solar separation. The Mesoamerican Calendars approximate lunar/solar separation time to be 210 days during a 20-year cycle. Shared intervals of both calendar types prove the original Bible calendar was the stem.
  • The primary age of Adam was 130 years of 360 days per year when he begat Seth. The 260-year-sacred-cycle is divided in half for the primary 130-year age of Adam.
  • The Great Cycle and the Long Count Initial Series of the Mesoamerican Sun Kingdoms' Calendars of Central and South America employ Mayan Baktun 400-year lunar/solar cycles.
  • The Great Cycle includes 13 Mayan 400-year-Baktun-cycles, which amount to 5200-Haab-years of 365-day-solar-years. Two 400-year-Baktun-cycles add to make one 800-year Generation Cycle visible in the secondary ages.
  • In the Mesoamerican dual calendar system, a Great Cycle equally expresses as 7300-sacred-years of 260-days each.
  • All primary ages belong to a category. Primary ages begin with a named Antediluvian Patriarch's birth and end with the next named offspring son.
  • All secondary age belong to a category that measures from fatherhood until death of the named character. Secondary ages from Adam through Jared consist of one 800-year Generation Cycle plus additional 260-day-sacred-years.
  • The secondary age of Adam is the first 800-year Generation Cycle. An 800-year Generation Cycle includes two 400-year-Baktun-cycles. The Generation Cycle derives from the Mayan Great Cycle or the Long Count Initial Series having 5200-Haab-years of 355-day-solar-years. Depending on the context used, the Mayan Great Cycle can also mean 5200-Tun-years of 360-days each.
  • The ultimate power of God and time inspired the Creation. Survival meant the concerns of raising food and nurturing the children. The calendar was the only way to measure events for both instinct and nature.

Synopsis for the Biblical Ages of Seth
  • The effects of cascaded time form an elementary pattern:
  • Seth in the Bible relates with the Egyptian mythological Seth. Fixed, sacred pillars that held calendar records symbolized Semitic Baals and Seth. Seth was the first-generation founder of the patriarchal age order.
  • The 19-year lunar/solar calendar cycle measures 209-days of lunar/solar separation time. The 20-year lunar/solar calendar cycle approximates lunar/solar differences to be 210-days of lunar/solar separation time.
  • Four layers of cascaded time are visible for Seth. The 260-day-sacred-year adds 105-days to figure a combined 365-day-solar-year.
  • The solar-side half of 210-days lunar/solar separation time found with a 20-year-cycle is 105-days.
  • A 400-year-Baktun-cycle divides 210-years of lunar/solar separation time to get 105-years of solar-side time split half. The 400-year-Baktun-Cycle results from 20 multiples of 20-year-cycles.
  • The 260-year-sacred-cycle plus another 105-years total the combined 365-solar-year cycle.
  • The 260-day-sacred-year adds 100-days to figure a 360-day midpoint length of year. The 360-day length of year is the middle position between lunar and solar calendar years in early calendar systems. By the same token, a 260-year-sacred-cycle adds 100-years for 360-years.
  • Five days and years were treated as a single term to be added to the 100-day-and-year single term.
  • Two 400-year-Baktun-cycles add for the 800-year Generation Cycle in Ages of Adam. An 800-year Generation Cycle provides two 105-year solar-side time splits in the secondary 800-year age of Adam.
  • The primary 105-year age of Seth includes the last 5-years of 365-days each for 1,825-days. The Enochian 364-day calendar year results in 1,820-days exactly.
  • The secondary 807-year age of Seth repeats the 800-year Generation Cycle. An additional 7-sacred-years, or 1,820-days, equal the last 5-years in the primary 105-year age of Seth. Five additional 364-day-solar-years, or 1,820 days, divide by 260-days for 7-sacred years. Seven-sacred-years are added to the secondary 800-year Generation Cycle of Seth to arrive at 807-years.
