The following is a study about
telling time, prophetic and celestial time. It is based on the
Biblical precepts of the movements or ‘Circuit’ of the Sun, Moon
and the Stars. The first premise is that the Months are not
necessarily based on when the New Moon is sighted. The popular
phonetic transliteration of the word, ‘Moon’ to mean ‘Month’, is
inaccurate. But one’s emphasis will be how the Sun is in a
‘Circuit’ and has a Beginning, a Middle and an End Trajectory
that Defines a Year.
Then the next question or mystery is what Year it is debated.
Realize, there are several Calendars: Solar, Tropical, Sidereal.
Then there is what one deems the Galactic and the Astronomical,
Calendars, etc. What one wishes to emphasize is the Leo New
Year. Why? It is tied to one’s Rapture Theory and timing. One is
arguing that precisely at the Midpoint of the ‘Circuit’ of the
Sun, or as in other verses in Scripture, it speaks about the
‘Return’ or the Turning of the Year’.
That is what the Leo New Year is about. It is a ‘New Year’
because it has ‘Turned’, ‘Returned’ and starts a New Year,
Astronomically. And as one has presented in prior Research, one
is more convinced that this ‘Galactic’ New Year that is
delineated at Leo on a July 23 Month and Date is when the Acts 2
Pentecost Event occurred. Thus, one’s Leo New Year Rapture
Theory draws on this possible event occurring on its
anniversary, i.e., Feast of New Wine, etc.
It was a New Beginning, the Start of the Initiation of the
Church Age with ‘Power from on High’ for the Disciples of Jesus
to carry-out the Great Commission into the World and during the
Church Age. Thus, one’s Leo New Year Rapture Theory, at the
Lion’s Gate is when one is postulating that the Rapture event to
close-out the Church Age, will likewise occur on its
Anniversary. Or in other words, at the ‘Return’ or the ‘Turning’
of the Year.
And Elohim said, let Lights come to be in the Firmament of
the Heavens to separate the Day from the Night let them be for
Signs and Appointed Times [Chodeshim] and Days.
-Genesis 1:14
But what type of Year? A Solar Year has 360 Days. What about 364
or 365 Days a Year? One thing is for sure, the Modern Rabbinical
Lunar Calendar that is based on the Hillel 2 Calculations made
after the Roman Diaspora becomes un-synchronized with the Solar
Year. It gets off-track to the point that they have to add a
13th Month every so often, about every 19 years to synchronize
it back with the Solar Year. What is a Lunar Year then?
A Constellation Clock
This is why the Solar Year is what Jehovah uses,
Astronomical to delineate the 4 divisions of equal time. These
are marked by the 2 Solstices and the 2 Equinoxes, etc. And it
is in the backdrop of the 12 Constellations that determines
where the Sun is at and ‘What Time it is’. Now there has to be
taken into account that there is Precession of the Equinox
occurring at any given time.
Lunar Month = 29.53 Days
29.53 Days x 12 Months = 354.36
Day/Year
This is the movement of the
Constellations in the backdrop of the Sun that will ‘shift’
where the Sun is at, relative to time from Earth’s perspective.
For example, there is a popular misconception that seems to not
be willing to ‘let go’ of pertaining to when the New Year
begins, Astronomically that determined the 1st Religious New
Year of Nisan. End Times Teachers insist that, disregarding the
Precession of the Stars, that when the Sun is in Aries, that is
what determines the New Year. No.
It is the Spring Equinox that does that. This is why, 2000 Years
ago, yes, the Sun was in Aries as Josephus noted accurately,
relative to his time. But now in the mid 2020’s, the Sun is no
longer in Aries during the Spring Equinox. Now realize that
where the Sun starts and ends is pivotal to the Circuit of the
Sun that travels along the Ecliptic.
And Astronomically, it starts in
Leo, July 23 And ends In Virgo. Conversely, Based on the
Mazzaroth, the Cosmic Storyline of the Messiah starts with Virgo
and ends with Leo, the Lion, etc. But the Mazzaroth or the
Zodiac, in circular format, is as a Giant Clock configured by
the Stars or the 12 Constellations. Consider the following
inferences.
‘And he put down the Black Robe
Priests whom the Kings of Yehudah had appointed to burn
Incense on the High Places in the cities of Yehudah and in the
Places all around Yerushalayim and those who burned incense to
Ba’al, to the Sun to the Moon and to the Constellations, and
all the Hosts of the Heavens’. -2 Kings 23:5
‘Constellations’ means ‘Lodging
Places ‘or Inns. These are the ‘Tents’ that King David
referred to in Psalm 19. But the most common Hebrew inference
to the 12 Constellations is called the Mazzaroth. -Gesenius
Hebrew Lexicon
‘Do you bring out the
Constellations and its Season? Or do you lead the bear with
its Sons? Do you know the Laws of the Heavens? Or do you set
the Rule over the Earth? -Job 38:32-33
Notice that it is Jehovah, the Creator of the Sun, Moon and the
Stars that is speaking to Job. It inferred from the context that
the Earth is affected by their meaning and configuration of the
Seasons. Why? It is because Jehovah determined it to be so. No,
it is not Pagan. It became Pagan, to a degree.
One can understand that most Believers and Followers of Jesus do
not want to have anything to do with this type of Ancient
Knowledge. The Constellations have devolved to Daily Horoscope
and Chart Readings, by design in one’s estimation. That has been
on purpose by Lucifer that has corrupted this Sacred Knowledge
and Understanding.
Creator of the Clock
It is because Jehovah put the
Storyline of the Gospel in the Stars. It is the Story of how to
get ‘Saved’. What Humanity has done is to worship the Sun, Moon
and the Stars, as Paul exported the Body of Christ to not
Worship the Creation as the Pagans do but the Creator, Jesus who
made it.
‘You are exhausted by your many
Councils; let the Astrologers, the Stargazers, and those who
Prognosticate by the New Moons [Chodeshim] stand up and save
you from what is coming upon you’. - Isaiah 47:13
As to determining the correct Month?
One can infer and correlate correctly from Scripture that the
New Month is synonymous, rather with the word, term and concept
of Chodeshim. Note that when Jehovah instructed Moses and Aaron
to switch the Head of the Year, or Rosh HaShanah from the Month
of Tishrei to Nisan, that was based on the term, ‘Chodeshim’.
‘This Chodesh is the Beginning of
Chodeshim for you, it is the 1st Chodeshim of the Year for
you’. -Exodus 12:2
But here is the Point. The beginning
of the Religious New Year, pertinent to the Command of Jehovah
is based, not on the Month starting on a New Moon, or Full Moon.
Or rather, no Moon Cycle at all. It is just that the term
Chodeshim refers to the term Month. That is all. This is why in
the Book of Jubilees, it was foretold that Israel will forsake
the Mazzaroth Calendar and use other forms of calculating time
that would confuse time. How is this confusion deliberately
made? Are there some Scriptural references one can point to?
Yes. Consider the passage about the New Moon being correlated to
the New Month.
INCORRECT TRANSLATION
And David said to Yehonathan. See, Tomorrow is the
New Moon, and I ought to sit with the King to eat. But let me
go, and I shall hide in the Field until he 3rd Day at
Evening’. -1 Samuel 20:5
CORRECT TRANSLATION
And David said to Yehonathan. See, Tomorrow is the
Chodesh, and I ought to sit with the King to eat. But let me
go, and I shall hide in the Field until he 3rd Day at
Evening’. -1 Samuel 20:5
However, in the Greek, the word for
Month is tied to a ‘New Moon’. In the Strong’s G3376 for
‘Month’, it states that the word is after the use of the Hebrew
‘Chodesh’ which denotes both a Month and the New Moon. This is
how the ‘Confusion’ is coded in the Study Lexicons.
INCORRECT TRANSLATION
‘Let no Man therefore judge you in Meat, or in Drink, or in
respect of a Holyday, or of the New Moon, or of the Sabbath
Days’. -Colossians 2:16
CORRECT TRANSLATION
‘Let no Man therefore judge you in Meat, or in Drink, or in
respect of a Holyday, or of the Neomenia, or of the Sabbath
Days’. -Colossians 2:16
Determining Harvest Times
The argument though, is that the Greek word ‘Neomenia’ does
not mean New Moon, as the term for Moon in the Greek is
altogether a different Word, ‘Selene’, φεγγάρι. The point being,
again, is that it should read, ‘New Month’, not ‘New Moon’.
Thus, this strengthens the argument that New Months do not start
on New Moons, necessarily. It is what Jehovah commanded Humanity
to precisely keep track of time with.
Using the Stars to track Time is not
a Pagan concept. All Ancient Civilizations understood this. This
is the Reason for the various giant Megalithic Monuments or
‘Clocks’ that were set-up for this tracking of the Circuit of
the Sun. But again, one has to ‘adjust’ for the Precession
of the Movements of the 12 Constellations or the Stars, relative
to the Sun from Earth’s Perspective.
For example, there is the Tropical
Year of the Circuit of the Sun. In this Calendar, the Tropical
Year is measured when the Cycle of Seasons, the Time from one
Solstice to another or 1 Equinox to another is about 20 Minutes
shorter than the Sidereal Year. The Sidereal Year is the Circuit
of the Sun when it is measured by the Sun's apparent position
relative to the Stars.
So, after about every 2,000 years
the difference amounts to 1 Sign of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac
being changed. For identical Reasons the Apparent Position of
the Sun relative to the Backdrop of the Stars at some Seasonally
Fixed Time, slowly regresses a full 360 Degrees through all 12
traditional Constellations of the Zodiac, at the Rate of about
50.3 Seconds of Arc per Year or 1 Degree every 71.6 Years. It is
rounded-off to 72 Years.
At present, the Rate of Precession
corresponds to a period of 25,772 Years to be technically more
precise. However, the Rate itself varies somewhat with time, so
one cannot say that in exactly 25,772 Years the Earth's Axis
will be back to where it is now. The Point is that the Equinox
moves throughout the Year. Here is what Philo stated about the
Creation.
‘The Sun to the Great Lord of the
Day bringing about 2 Equinoxes each Year in Spring and Autumn
the Spring Equinox in the Constellation of the Ram and the
Autumn Equinox in that of the State of the Scales, supplies
very clear evidence of the Sacred Dignity of the 7th Number,
for each of the Equinoxes occurs in the 7th Month and during
them, there is enjoinment by law the keeping of the greatest
National Festivals, since at both of them all Fruits of the
Earth ripen, in the Spring the Wheat and all else that is
sown, and in Autumn the Fruit of the Vine and most of the
other Fruit-Trees’. -Section 39
Now, as to determining the Feast of
New Wine and the Pentecost of Acts 2? Note then that it is in
the 1st 50 Day count from the Day after Passover that the 1st
Shavuot of the 3 occurs. This is the ripening of the Wheat
Grain, or what is referred to as the First Fruits. Then on the
2nd 50 Day Count, it pertains to the Ripening of the Grapes, or
the First Fruits of the Wine.
Leo New Year and Wine
This is where one argues the Acts 2 Pentecost or 2nd Shavuot
occurred. July marks the Astronomical Leo New Year and the
beginning of the ‘Opening’ of the Lion’s Gate. Or it was when
the Gates of Heaven poured-out the Holy Spirit during the Acts 2
Pentecost.
This is what the New Wine was and is
all about as promised by Jesus and foretold in the Book of Joel.
It is the 3rd Count of 50 Days pertaining to when the New Oil
begins to ripen. Where is this found in the Bible or inferred
to? It Is found in Deuteronomy.
‘Then I shall give you the Rain for the Land and its Season,
the Early Rain [Autumn] and the Latter Rain [Spring], and you
shall gather in your Grain and your New Wine and your Oil’.
-Deuteronomy 11:14
Nonetheless, in terms of the Circuit
of the Sun, Humanity knows that the planting, tilling, and
harvesting cycles of the Seasons are based on the 12
Constellations and where the Sun is at in particular to the 2
Equinoxes and the 2 Solstices. This is Jehovah’s Calendar as the
Circuit of the Sun also provided the time the People of Jehovah
would observe their Festivals, just the same as Jehovah ordered
them for Israel to show-up for, i.e., the Moedim, etc.
The following is how Philo
acknowledges the existence of Moses, the Biblical Character and
the event of the Exodus. He recognizes how Jehovah had Moses
establish Nisan as the 1st Month. But note that it was not and
should be not, based on the New Moon, necessarily.
‘Moses puts down the Beginning of
the Vernal Equinox as marking the 1st Month [Chodesh] of the
Year’. -Philo Moses to 222
According to Philo, the Hebrew New
Month is to be based on the Spring Equinox. It marks the New
Month. Thus, this is supposed to be the Month of Nisan. After
the Equinox has happened the Fruit will be ripe. It is the Right
Time to prepare for Harvest. It is not explicitly referred to in
Scripture but it is referred to in terms that implies it after
the Equinox. These are the Chodeshim of the year.
Presently, the Spring Equinox is in
the Month of March and in the Sign of Pisces. The Equinoxes are
always in the 7th Month. As to the Circuit? The Sun is in the
firmament according to Psalm 19. The Sun is traveling on a
Circuit or going Forth and Returning. It is wherein the Sun
travels through the 1st 6 Signs. This is when the 1st Chodesh is
observed. That is when the Feast of Unleavened Bread is
observed.
Then around the Time of the
Solstice, is when the Sun will start its Journey or Circuit back
through the other 6 Signs with the same, starting with the 7th
Chodesh which is when Sukkot is observed. The following Verse
will further show how mistranslated words or terms can have an
effect on the meaning and interpretation of the context and
message YHVH is conveying. Consider the problem of how Sukkot is
not observed in the 12th Chodesh, or ‘end’ of the year. It is in
the middle of the year.
INCORRECT TRANSLATION
‘And thou shalt observe the Feast of Weeks of the First Fruits
of the Wheat Harvest [1st 50 Day Count Shavuot] and the Feast
of In-Gathering at the Year's End’. -Exodus 34:22 King James
Version
CORRECT TRANSLATION
‘They say in a Holiday of a
Period the 7nth you shall observe to Me the Beginning of the
Harvest of Wheat and a Holiday Gathering being in the Middle
of the Year’. -Exodus 34:22 Septuagint Version
CORRECT TRANSLATION
And a Feast of Weeks thou dost
observe for thyself; First Fruits of Wheat Harvest; and the
Feast of Ingathering at the Revolution of the Year. -Exodus
34:22 Young’s Literal Translation
Here is where one interjects the Leo
New Year Rapture Theory being at the Lion’s Gate, at this
particular time and place. Why? One is of the interpretation
that the ‘Middle of the Year’ and at the ‘Revolution’ of the
year is pertaining to exactly the Leo New Year. The dead
give-away is when the ‘Revolution’ is complete. That is what the
Leo New Year is all about. This notion of the Revolution is
about the Sun going out through the 1st 6 Chodeshim and then you
have this ‘turning’ in its Cycle.
Consider the word used as a
‘Revolution’ or a course, a Circuit coming about. It is
the Hebrew word,
Tquphah Strong’s 8622 tek-oo-faw.
It is used in several different ways in the Bible. Basically
what it is talking about is the ‘Turning of the Circuit’. Thus,
the Turning is when the Sun's gone out - its midway point. One
is conjecturing that it is at the Lion’s Gate being the Leo New
Year, on a July 23 that this ‘Turning of the Circuit’ occurs.
And it came to be at the Turning
[Tquphah] of the Circuit of the Year, that the Army of Aram
came up against him. And they came into Yehudah and
Yerushalayim and destroyed tall the Rulers of the people from
among the people and sent all their Spoils to the King of
Darmaseq. -2 Chronicles 24:23
‘And according to the Season of
the Offsprings [of the Sun of the Circuits], and the Returns
of the Months’ [Moons in this case]. -Deuteronomy 33:14
In the New Testament the Word for
‘Circuit’ or a ‘Turning’ only appears once. It is the word for
Tropé Strong’s G5157. It means a ‘Turning’ of the Heavenly
Bodies.
‘Every Good Gift and every Perfect Gift is from above and
cometh down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no
variableness, neither Shadow of Turning’. -James 1:17
What about that phrase of the
‘Father of Lights’? It is the Lights that Elohim made at
Creation, the Sun, Moon, and the Stars. Jehovah is the Father of
the Lights in the Heavens. Thus, the notion of variableness of
neither having a Shadow nor Turning, pertains to the turning of
the Heavenly Lights and their Circuit. Job talks about the 12
Constellations and their Circuit.
‘Or will you open Mazuroth in its
time? And has for us with its Tail will you lead it? And do
you know the Circuits of the Heavens, or the Things under
Heaven with 1 accord taking place? -Job 38:32-33 Septuagint
CORRECT TRANSLATION
And a Feast of Weeks thou dost
observe for thyself; First Fruits of Wheat Harvest; and the
Feast of Ingathering at the Turning of the Circuit of the
Year. -Exodus 34:22 ISR Translation
In actual Greek, the word used is
‘Exodus’. That is what the Exodus was about. It was an Exit or a
Departure. It is about going out then in the latter half of the
year, referred to as the Sun ‘Departing’ from the Year, etc.
Thus, based on this research, one is more convinced that the
‘Turning of the Year’, or the Circuit, pertains to the Leo New
Year. That is where and when the Sun begins anew, the New Year,
Astronomically.
And amazingly, it is tied to a
Departure or that of an Exit, i.e., the Rapture event. Does not
the Rapture Event signal such an endeavor and expectation? Is
not the Rapture Event a Departure, an Apostasia and that of an
‘Exodus’ or exiting from off this Planet Earth? For example,
consider 2 Samuel 11:1. It says, ‘And it came to be at the
Return of the Year’…
This is another word which shows
again the reference to this Cycle of the Sun going out and
returning. This word for ‘Turn’ is the word Teshuva. It means,
‘Repentance’. It is only actually used 8 times in the entirety
of the Scriptures. It comes from the word, to return. It would
be when the Sun would go out and then make Teshuvah and it would
Return. So, it came to be at the Turning of the Year, referring
to these Cycles of ‘Returning’ all the way through.
‘And know and see what you should
do, for at the Return of the Year the King of Aram is coming
off against you’. -1 Kings 20:22
‘And it came to be at the Return
of the Year, at the [Teshuvah of the Year] the Ben-Hadad
mustered the Arameans and went off to Apheq to fight against
Yisra’el’. -1 Kings 20:26
So, Jehovah called the 1st Month
Aviv, as it is called Nisan in Esther 3:7 calls it the ‘Chodesh
of Nisan’. It is because the meaning of the Hebrew word, ‘Nisan’
also means ‘Their Flight’, as in the Exodus. And this is when
Passover took place, etc. In the Book of Enoch, he makes
reference to the fact that the Sky is divided-up into 6 Gates.
In fact, the Sky, or the Firmament that encompasses the Sun,
Moon and the Stars are governed by 7 Celestial Gates.
This Notion is patterned after what
Heaven or the Heavenly Jerusalem is configured to, in some
instances. And it is how the Earthly Jerusalem is also
configured to the 7 main Open Gates, presently. This pattern is
also mirrored with the 7 main Stars of the Constellation of
Orion. This is why one has provided proof that the 3rd Temple is
correlated with the Belt Star of Mintaka. All that to say that
as Heaven and Earth are defined by the 7 Doors or ‘Star-Gates,
so is the Heavenlies. Consider that the 2 Solstices and the 2
Equinoxes are ‘Gates’.
Sun Gates
The Sun traverses through or reaches as a marker of time.
These 2 Star or Sun-Gates is what defines the Circuit of the
Sun. These are the 2 Cardinal Gates of the Golden Gate and the
Silver Gate that define the expanse of the entire visible
Universe from Earth’s perspective. And it is Orion at the Gate
of Man and Ophiuchus at the Gate of GOD that are the Guardians
of these Star-Gates. This is a total of 6 Gates mentioned by
Enoch. What is the 7th Gate? The 7th Gate is what one’ Leo New
Year Rapture Theory is predicated upon. It is the Lion’s Gate.
1 Golden Gate
2 Equinox
3 Solstice
4 LION’S GATE
5
Equinox
6
Solstice
7 Silver Gate
In Conclusion Jehovah has given the
Giant Time-Piece in the Cosmos. He has given the Chodeshim which
seemed fixed in the Sky. The Sun goes through the Chodeshim and
that gives the Chodeshim, not the Months. So, the Sun and the
Moon traverse through the Chodeshim. It speaks of them ‘Going
Forth’ and ‘Returning’ as in a 'Circuit', a 'Wheel of Time’, a
‘Clock’. And this Cycle of the Sun, is the Calendar of Jehovah.
