Was the Jubilee Year an Ancient Calendar Formula?

My purpose is to draw peoples attention to what I believe are underlying calendar formulas in the Bible.
Why?
It immediately raises questions. Apart from our inability to divide seven into fifty, why would a year begin on the 10th of a month and not the 1st?
Why not?

Indeed, why would a year begin on the seventh month of the previous year at all?
Why not?

There has been debate among biblical scholars
Yes. Y'SHUA said what would happen to them.
However, a significant minority of authorities disagree with the said length of time.
Them too.

Yes, the diagram in Section F shows 606 lunar months from 1st Tishri to 1st Abib in a typical 49-year period.
The 606 lunar months run from the 1st of Abib (not Tishri) in the first year to the 1st of Abib 49 years later.

However, at the top of the same diagram it also shows the 600 months stopping shy of 49 years on the 10th Tishri.
I have already shown that the 600 lunar months must end on the 1st, not the 10th, of Tishri if the calendar is to stay synchronized with the moon. Then after these 600 months the remaining 6 months of the 49th year bring the year round to the 1st of Abib. It is always 6 more months, never seven, since Section F states clearly that the 7th year of each seven is never intercalated. Hence the full jubilee consists of 606 lunar months. The number and scheduling of intercalations in the jubilee never varies by the plain sense of the statement that the pattern of the jubilee can be "repeated indefinitely." Hence each jubilee consists of 606 lunar months: the 600 from the 1st of Abib to to the 1st (not the 10th) of Tishri in the 49th year, plus six more to the 1st of Abib in the following year. The "50th year" in this scheme is a mere bookkeeping trick and does not modify the time elapsed.

On that day a '50th year' was added to the solar year, presumably to synchronise it with the lunar count. (see illustration in post #4)
There can be no "presumably" about it. If this scheme is your proposal, you should know how it works.

These 600 months average 17719 days over repeated jubilee cycles. (17719/29.531 = 600)
According to the linked paper, the period of 17719 days "is always the same". This statement does not allow for an "average."

My purpose is to draw peoples attention to what I believe are underlying calendar formulas in the Bible.
You have given a plausibility argument that the sabbatical cycle might have been used to schedule intercalations in a lunar calendar. You are far from demonstrating that this practice is "in the Bible."

I have looked at the paper again and agree that refinements are needed. However, I believe the basic premise is correct. Intercalation formulae are in the Bible. When changes are done, Ill get back to this thread and pass them by you.

Thanks for your comments so far.

Hi, sorry to have taken so long. (Christmas) :sorry:

I have made several adjustments to my original ideas, but the basic premise remains - that there exists in scripture an ancient calendar different from modern soli-lunar calendars. Thanks for pointing out where improvements were needed.

Here is my updated paper with charts and diagrams included:

And here is an updated video. I hope you find it as interesting as I have in studying it.

You equate 1 Nisan in a certain year with 4PM UT on -610 March 20 (March 20, 611 BC). I take it that you mean that 1 Nisan began at 6 PM at longitude 30 degrees east on March 20, 611 BC, so that the hours of daylight of this 1 Nisan occurred on March 21, 611 BC. Is this what you mean?

My Julian dates track the start of the Hebrew day (sunset) So yes, the 1st of Nisan would have been March 20/21 611 BC.

Incidentally, most generic calendar converters give the astronomical Julian figure for their dates as (in this case) '1498334.5' The decimal '0.5' is based on midnight, Greenwich meantime. Therefore, their conversion to the Jewish calendar is equivalent to 2 am in Jerusalem.

I use the figure 1498334.1667 which is equivalent to 6 pm - as close as I can get to sunset.

I hope you like the charts that I included in my paper. If you like, I can send you an excel spreadsheet showing the dates and formula's between 900 BC and 500 BC.

It seems that Moses and Enoch are both correct in that we would err concerning the times: the later said that we would err concerning the four days which are not reckoned with the year (i.e. the four intercalary days inserted at the end of each season); and the former stated that we would err in observing the moon instead of the sun: which would throw our calculations of the year off by ten days each year.

I have been doing some extensive study of this on my own and I have found that the Bible discusses a 364 Day Solar Calendar with the day beginning from morning to morning as opposed from evening to evening as many (including myself) falsely believed.
In Genesis 1:1-2:3 we are told that:

-1 Week = Days 1-7**

-The first day of the first month of the year begins on the fourth day of the week (e.g. Wednesday).

-The calendar begins in the spring as the lights were created one day after the green plants had sprung forth from the earth.

-The calendar is solar as we are told that the greater light rules the day and the lesser light and stars rule the night. In addition God is the Light and therefore was able to call the light from Himself; and, as His Spirit was hovering over the waters: we see that He is above the waters and the darkness which covered them.

-A day is from morning to morning: God called the light and separated it from the darkness: therefore evening and morning were able to pass. If God is greater than the darkness then it is only natural that He make the Day greater than the Night: therefore when God called the light there was morning and it became evening and it became morning again (the following morning signaling the next day).**

Upon reading further Moses tells us that each month is composed of 30 Days (Genesis 7:24; 8:3). David tells us that there are only twelve months in the year which are numbered after the 12 Sons of Israel [Jacob] (1 Chronicles 27:1-15). With our evidence thus far we can constuct our calendar:

Spring

Month 01
01 02 03 04 05 06 07

_________01 02 03 04 (Week 01)
05 06 07 08 09 10 11 (Week 02)
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 (Week 03)
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 (Week 04)
26
27 28 29 30______

Month 02
01 02 03 04 05 06 07

_______________01 02 (Week 05)
03 04 05 06 07 08 09 (Week 06)
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 (Week 07)
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 (Week 08)
24 25 26 27 28 29 30 (Week 09)

Month 03
01 02 03 04 05 06 07

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 (Week 10)
08 09 10 11 12 13 14 (Week 11)
15
16 17 18 19 20 21 (Week 12)
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 (Week 13)
29 30_______________

It becomes apparent that at the end of spring is where we insert the first intercalary day which would have the first day of the fourth month begin on the fourth day of the week just as the first day of the first month began: this pattern repeats for the first days of the seventh and tenth months respectively. And we see that each month has alternating weeks of {4, 5, 4} per season which gives us thirteen weeks a season. Although the beginning of the year begins in the middle of the week we DO NOT begin counting our week from there! **YHWH begins counting HIS week from the first day to the seventh day** Doing the math:

13 Weeks x 4 Seasons = 52 Weeks/Year
52 Weeks = 52 Sabbaths/Year
52 Weeks x 7 Days = 364 Days/Year
13 Weeks x 7 Days = 91 Days/Season
91 Days x 4 Seasons = 364 Days/Year

1 Year = 4 Seasons = 12 Months = 52 Weeks = 364 Days

So the solar calendar in the Bible has:

360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days

Jubilees then tells us directly that there are 52 Weeks/Year and that the moon comes in ten days too soon. Similarly 1 Enoch tells us that the moon completes the year in 354 Days with the sun and stars completing them in 364 Days. Furthermore Enoch tells us that the moon is new when it is in the first crescent. The Dead Sea Scrolls and Enoch both describe the moon having alternating months of {29, 30, 29...} (1 Enoch 78:11-13, 15-17; 79:3-5 Cf. 4Q320-30, 337).

I will upload my Excel files showing my work which I converted to pdf's (since Christian Forums doesn't allow Excel files to be uploaded).

Now for those of you who are not familiar with the Priestly Order of the Zadok Priests should read what 1 Chronicles and Ezekiel have to say about them. Otherwise you will see that I began the first year of the Shemitah on March 23, 2016 because Enoch tells us that the spring and fall equinoxes occur the day before the first day of winter and the first day of spring (i.e. 31st Day of the 6th Month [e.g. November] and the 31st Day of the 12th Month [e.g. February].
I will comment more when time allows YHWH willing tomorrow.

For those who want definite proof of the the fall and spring equinoxes occuring on September 20, 2016 and March 22, 2016 please visit our fellow brother Jerry Morris' YouTube Channel JerryMorris and he should have three videos with his sundial confirming this information.

Two more cents:

I'll start my opinion with the omer count:

23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD." (Leviticus 23:15-16)

Ok, so it starts 1 day after Sabbath and then 7x7 days = 49 plus the 1 day after = 50.

I see the same count guideline for Jubilee 7x7 49 full years & the 50th yr is Jubilee.

Now the question becomes: Will the count begin on Nisan 1 or Tishri 1.

Christ died on Passover, was buried on Unleveaned Bread, rose on Firstfriuts & sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. We have covered the spring Feasts of the Lord.

So, my vote goes the remaining Fall Feasts. That makes Tishri 1 my pick.

Final thought:

I believe Jesus earthly ministry began on a Jubilee yr on Tishri 1

Jesus announces:
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

I believe his return will also begin a Jubilee on Tishri 1 the Feast Of Trumpets. Bringing liberty to the captives.

Yom Kippur associated with coming judgment.

And the Feast of Tabernacles with the Marriage Feast of the Lamb the Great Day 8 A NEW BEGINNING! Amen

I agree with you on the count of the jubilee following the model of the Feast of Shavuot. Not sure if you got to view the files I uploaded but, you'll notice something interesting: the first, fourth, and seventh years of the first and seventh Shemitah's begin with Gamul; and, furthermore the first, fourth, and seventh years of each Shemitah begin the first day of the first month of the year with a full moon. Now I came across an interesting problem when reading the book of Jubilees as Moses definitely shows in his calculations that he is using a forty nine year count for the jubilees. Upon further inspection of the Dead Sea Scrolls I found that the brethren at Qumran only counted the Shemitah in six year periods: this has led me to believe that the seventh year of each Shemitah is intercalated somehow and, the same goes for the fiftieth year of each jubilee year. I think this is why some have thought that the fiftieth year begins the next jubilee cycle. I use Jubilees and the Assumption of Moses and 4Q320-30, 337 to support my view for intercalary years for the Shemitah and jubilee periods. According to Jubilees 49 Jubilees 1 Week of Years and 2 Years have passed since Adam to the time Moses came up to Mt. Sinai:

49 Jubilees x 49 Years = 2,401 Years
2,401 Years + 49 Years = 2,450 Years
2,450 Years + 7 Years + 2 Years = 2,459 Years

From here the Angel of the Presence tells Moses that there are still forty years of learning (wilderness wanderings) to come for the children of Israel:

2,459 Years + 40 Years = 2,500 Years
2,500 Years = 50th Jubilee

The Assumption of Moses opens as follows:

"And it came to pass in the one hundred and twentieth year of the life of Moses, that is, the two thousand five hundreth year from the creation of the world, that he called to him Joshua the son of Nun, a man approved of the Lord."
-Assumption of Moses 1:1-3

We see then that when we use the intercalary system mentioned in Leviticus it lines up perfectly with Jubilees and the Assumption of Moses.
This then would show why much tamepring of the geneaologies is evident in the Masoretic, Septuagint, and the Samaritan Pentatuech found in Genesis 5 but, that is for a separate discussion.

Upon reading further Moses tells us that each month is composed of 30 Days (Genesis 7:24; 8:3)

Well, he said those particular months (five months during the flood) were 30 days. But it does not prove that other months were the same. Also, it is possible a that change came about after the flood. That is why my study focuses from Moses onward.

Ive studied Enoch too, but I think it has problems with a 364-day year. How do you account for the shortfall of 1.242 days without the seasons slipping behind?

Yes I faced the same dilemma until I asked myself: Did I place the sun, moon and stars in the sky? Did I create and begin time? Did any of these men who made their own calendars or calculations place the heavenly lights in the sky or creat and begin time? The answer is no. If one needs to observe and study something: it means that he is not the orginator of that thing and proves by default that he is not even qualified to teach something he must still be taught about. Therefore Christ said not to call any man father or teacher for our Father and Teacher is in heaven: this is to say that if we were fathered and still need to be fathered; and, that we still must learn and be taught: then we are not true fathers and teachers but, instead types of fathers and teachers. The 1 1/4 day was simply added to the 364 Day Calendar. You wrongly assume that our Gregorian calendar which is of very modern origin is the calendar to follow and that all others are wrong without giving defense as to why. The same can be said for the other false calendars created by man and not God.
And if you followed my math correctly you would see that I did not completely rely on Genesis 7:24; 8:3 to prove that we have 360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days:

22 23 24 25 26 27 28 (Week 13)
29 30_______________

As you can see even though Moses does not say that each month had 30 Days each we can deduce from the alternating weeks of {4, 5, 4} that each season has 13 Weeks. Doing the math again:

13 Weeks x 4 Seasons = 52 Weeks/Year
52 Weeks x 7 Days = 364 Days/Year
13 Weeks x 7 Days = 91 Days/Season
91 Days x 4 Seasons = 364 Days/Year
364 Days ÷ 30 Days = ~12.1333... Months/Year
364 Days ÷ 12 Months = ~30.333... Days/Month

We see that scripture and numbers support my argument--before even quoting Jubilees or 1 Enoch. The last calculation would beg the question: if there are 364 Days/Year then where would we insert the four extra days? According to our calendar model above we would insert them at the end of each of the four seasons.
I believe I have given more than sufficient proof that the Bible as we have it in our current canon supports a 364 Day Solar Calendar that begins in the spring and is composed of 360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days inserted at the end of each of the four seasons. We now have Jubilees and 1 Enoch as supplimental witnesses to what the Bible already says regarding the sun and stars: we only need 1 Enoch to tell us the laws of the moon.

Well, he said those particular months (five months during the flood) were 30 days. But it does not prove that other months were the same. Also, it is possible a that change came about after the flood. That is why my study focuses from Moses onward.

Ive studied Enoch too, but I think it has problems with a 364-day year. How do you account for the shortfall of 1.242 days without the seasons slipping behind?

I wish we could just alter time with natural disasters--whether locally or internationally---it's like you're insinuating the fact that God and Noah forgot how to track time and were confused by the great flood or, that the heavenly luminaries were so shocked by the great flood that they just...fell out of place. With ideas like that all we need to do is cause some universal disaster so that time will be lost.
I would like to also point out that the Gregorian Calendar was instituted to correct the Julian Calendar which fell behind the true year (i.e. 364 Days) greatly; and, even after all of Gregories attempts: he said that his calendar is still ten days behind the true year. Thanks Gregory...why didn't you readjust it again so that it would not be ten days behind but, in line with the true year? Daniel gives us the answer:

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

-Daniel 7:25

With so many variations of solar, lunar, astral, agricultural, and other calendars who wouldn't be worn out in finding the truth of when we are to observe God's appointed times? The Bible tells us that we have a solar calendar of 364 Days (360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days) but, His chosen people Israel fell into error once they adopted the practices of the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans: the nations around them which God commanded them not to follow. We didn't listen even when Christ came and died on the cross and grafted the Wild Olive Branch (Gentiles) into the Natural Olive Branch (Israel). You'll do yourself a big favor dear brother by abandoning the false calendars of the world and embracing the true calendar of God. Just as Adam and Eve were deceived through the Serpent who added and took away from God's Words to them concerning the forbidden fruit: so too will we fall into sin if we do not heed the command:

"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither chall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the YHWH."
-Deuteronomy 4:2

"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
-Detueronomy 12:32

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
-Revelation 22:18-19

Let us be careful to not disobey these words especially in regards to God's calendar.

Ive studied calendar astronomy, including the Enochian calendar. The bottom line is that it takes 365.242 days for the earth to rotate around the Sun. So, if you want to prove your 364-day theory, you will have to add more than 4 intercalary days at the end of each season.

The other thing you will need to do, is explain why the Bible puts so much emphasis on new moons, and explain how they synchronised the solar and lunar cycles.

You've missed my point I see. My point is that using our false calendars in place of God's established Calendar is to usurp His Authority. As to the new moons, many of the passages which are translated as new moon are actually to be translated as new month: for moon in Hebrew is YeRaCH while month is CHoDeSH and, new is CHaDaSHaH. This error occurs because many mix up our Old English word for moon, mona which also translates to month. As for how our current Bible canon synchronises the solar and lunar cycles we are not told: therefore we are reliant on 1 Enoch for the answer to that question. It is no surprise then why 1 Enoch and Jubilees have received so much attack and are being suppressed as much as possible: they plainly spell out for us the answer to the questions which you just asked me: God established His Time and said that if man abandoned His Times then we would fall into error. Unfortunately many cannot handle such causitive language from God.

I have done the math and cited the appropriate scriptures without giving you or anyone else the run around: the numbers and scripture are in harmony with one another and prove all of man's calendars to be false. Not sure what more proof you need my dear brother.

I should also add if our Gregorian Calendar (which is of recent birth) is correct and God's is incorrect then, I would have to add more intercalary days to God's Calendar; but, if God's Calendar is correct and not our Gregorian Calendar then we would have to add more intercalary days in order to keep in line with God's Times and Seasons.
It would be odd to proclaim that God created all things (including Time) and then assert that He did not have a calendar for us to follow and abide by. And further still it would be odd to say that God has to play catch up with His creations as if He erred in anything, instead of us playing catch up with Him because we erred. Oh how we have strayed like the moon!
