The calendar in the Book of Enoch
Chapter 82 of The Book of Enoch documents the human calendar that humans are to follow:
- 364 days per year.
- Each day of the year is marked by "heads over thousands" or specific stars.
- 12 months per year.
- 30 days per month.
- 4 quarters in each year.
- Each quarter consists of 90 days + 1 intercalated day.
- The beginning of each quarter is marked by an intercalated/intercalary day.
- These intercalated days divide the four portions of the year.
- The intercalated day is marked by the appearance of specific stars.
- The intercalated days (equinoxes and solstices) are not included in the calendar.
- New years begin in Spring, on the day after the Spring Equinox.
- The signs of the New Year and Summer are given in detail.
Book of Enoch Chapter 74: lunar and solar cycles
- The lunar and solar calendars describe the cycles of these luminaries and NOT the calendar that humans are to follow.
- The sun and moon complete their cycles in each year in 364 days:
And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days (book of Enoch 74: 12).
Why should humans follow the Enoch Calendar - Chapter 82
- It is simple and easy to follow.
- The Bible does not document a 13th month.
- When there is a leap year on other calendars, a day is lost.
- Persons born on the 29th of previous years miss a birthday.
- The year does not end in 364 days on a lunar calendar:
And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days (book of Enoch 74: 12).
- I believe that God revealed the cycles of the sun and moon to allow humans to track their path.
