Enoch Calendar

How to use the calendar

The year

An Enoch year has 364 days: twelve months of 30 days, and a 31st day, the Tekufah, closing months 3, 6, 9 and 12. That makes exactly 52 weeks, so every date falls on the same weekday every year. Month 1 and month 7 always begin on a Wednesday, the day the sun and moon were made.

The year number goes up at the Feast of Trumpets (month 7, day 1). Months 1–6 belong to one year and months 7–12 to the next, so 6000 runs to Trumpets in September 2027 and 6001 begins there.

Day numbers are coloured by weekday — Sunday yellow, Monday orange, Tuesday red, Wednesday purple, Thursday blue, Friday light blue, Sabbath green. The four quarters carry the colours of the four horses (Revelation 6):

  • White horse · months 1, 2, 3
  • Red horse · months 4, 5, 6
  • Black horse · months 7, 8, 9
  • Pale horse · months 10, 11, 12

Reading a day

Every day is shown three ways: its Julian Day number (the astronomers’ continuous day count, for noon of that day — the number Stellarium shows), its Julian calendar date and its Gregorian date. Years are astronomical, as in Stellarium: year 0 is 1 BC, so −3973 is 3974 BC.

An Enoch day runs from sunset to sunset and is named by its daylight. Creation Day 1 began at sunset on Saturday, JD 270128.197 (28 Jul −3973 Julian), so it appears as JD 270129, 29 Jul (Julian), 27 Jun (Gregorian).

The year view has two layouts. Enoch · 6-day follows the original spreadsheet: each month in rows of six days, the Tekufah at the end of the last row, months 1–6 beside months 7–12. In both layouts a cell is the day’s daylight; the strip below the dotted line is that evening after sunset, which already belongs to the next day and takes its colour. So a Sabbath shows as Friday’s evening strip and Saturday’s daylight, boxed in green — sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Weekly · 7-day lays the same days out in Sunday-to-Sabbath weeks. Your choice is remembered.

A year up to 4027 is read as Gregorian; a larger number as an Enoch year. Prefix with “e” to force Enoch.

How each year is fixed

Heavenly time is the sidereal year — the sun’s return to the same place among the stars, 365.256363 days. Counting sidereal years from the sunset that began creation Day 1, the Feast of Trumpets each year is the Wednesday on or before that anniversary (sunset to sunset, Jerusalem).

Because 364 days falls short of the sky, a leap week is added after month 12 whenever Trumpets moves a week later — every 5 or 6 years (March 2019, March 2025, next March 2031). This reproduces every confirmed year, including 6000 beginning on Wednesday 17 March 2027.

Why the method holds:

  • Leap week every 5 or 6 years — always, never other gaps (2003, 2008, 2014, 2019, 2025, 2031, 2036 …). Occasionally two 6-year gaps fall together (2019 → 2025 → 2031): that is the sky correcting the drift, not an error.
  • New year on the 4th Day — every year is a Wednesday, from creation on.
  • Near the spring equinox — in our era month 1 begins 0–7 days before it. Because the year follows the stars, it moves against the equinox by about a day every 70 years (precession): at creation month 1 fell in late December, and by 4027 it falls in mid-April.
  • Week added to the previous year’s end — the leap week follows month 12, just before the new year.
  • Matches known dates — the leap weeks of 2019 and 2025, year 6000 from 17 March 2027, and the 2026 start of 18 March.
  • The full moon is a guide, not the rule. In the recent cycles it fell within 3 days of the leap-year start (2003, 2008, 2014, 2019), but it slides about 1.7 days every 11 years — 5 and 6 years are not whole lunar months — so no sun-based calendar can keep equinox and full moon together for long. The moon symbols on the calendar show where each full moon falls.

Courses, signs and the sky

Priest courses (1 Chronicles 24): twenty-four courses each serve a week, Sunday through Sabbath, in unbroken rotation through feast and leap weeks. The serving course is named in green on its Sabbath; the panel under the year view gives each name’s meaning and Strong’s number, and the Sabbaths it serves that year.

Zoom a month (⤢ on any month) for a full-page view with the Omer count, Julian dates, and a table of that month’s Sabbaths: priest and singer courses (1 Chronicles 25), the Dead Sea Scrolls Sabbath song, the Mazzaroth sign and decan, and the 7×7 church week.

Moon: new and full moons, solar eclipses, partial lunar eclipses and blood moons (total lunar eclipses), computed for each year and placed on the Enoch day in which they happen at Jerusalem. Eclipses are those visible anywhere on Earth. Before about 500 BC the timing is uncertain by hours, so an event near sunset may fall a day either side.

Shmita and Jubilee: a 50-year cycle counted from creation. Years 7, 14 … 49 of each cycle are Shmita (sabbatical) years and the 50th is the Jubilee, numbered from creation — year 6000 (Trumpets 2026 to Trumpets 2027) is the 120th Jubilee. Years run Trumpets to Trumpets; the Jubilee is proclaimed with the shofar on its Day of Atonement (Lev 25:9-10).

Council of Watchers (pink dot): every 72 days from the Ascension — 5/9, 7/21, 10/3, 12/15 and 2/27. Joyful Feasts(Zech 8:19): 4/17, 5/9, 7/3, 10/10. Holy Convocations: Unleavened Bread days 1 and 7, the 50th day (3/8), Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles day 1 and the 8th Day.
